Chapter 166 – Stone Pillow
He went back to the guild, but couldn’t find a request he liked. That’s why today I made a different choice than the request.
‘It’s been a while since the abandoned castle.’
Abandoned castle.
A place that used to be a castle, but is now in ruins.
Located a two-hour walk from Kalita, the goblins are now settling down.
When I was a beginner, I often went hunting those goblins.
Unable to find the request, I stopped by there after a long time.
Each kobold paralysis poison costs about 50 karma, so hunting goblins in a ruined castle should be sufficient.
‘The place where Kara first killed the goblin was over there, perhaps?’
It’s only been a few months, but the feeling is new. Feeling nostalgic, I wandered through the woods. Then I heard other people talking in my ears. There was also a familiar voice somewhere.
This morning, in a place like this, someone I know?
Curiosity moved toward the sound of the East Sea.
A forest of trees and bushes.
Two women and two men were sitting huddled together and having a conversation. Their faces were also somehow familiar, but one of them was a familiar face.
A cute woman in a puppy top with short blue hair.
‘Daisy..?’
It’s definitely a woman with that name.
After recognizing one, the other three also came into view.
I don’t remember the names, but they’re the ones who had a party with Daisy in the past.
Once I realized the owner of the voice, I felt no need to hide myself. The body that had been hidden behind a tree was exposed in front of them.
“So the raid is… What is it, who is it?!”
The bald adventurer who was explaining the operation hurriedly turned his head. The attention of the other three also turned to me.
Boundary eyes.
Among them, only one person’s eyes are shining brightly.
“Han Yuseong!”
Of course it was Daisy.
* * *
“Has Yuseong Han come to hunt goblins too?”
“Yes.”
“Okay!”
Daisy nodded her head. She was to the extent that others got a little fed up with it, but it wasn’t her part-time job.
Didn’t he meet a role model right in front of his eyes?
This level of excitement is understandable.
“Are you guys here to hunt goblins too?”
“Yes!”
“Okay? Cheer up.”
Yuseong waved her hand and turned her back. Daisy blinked her eyes for a moment, then she hurriedly grabbed his arm.
“Now, wait a minute. Are you just leaving?”
“Huh? Do you have anything else to say?”
“No, it’s not like that…”
That’s why you go away like this. Daisy became impatient. Even so, since he joined the adventure party, there was no point of contact.
I barely managed to see his face again and have a conversation, but it’s over like this.
Aren’t you too vain?
“Well, come to think of it, I can’t see the other party today?”
So I just spat out a word.
“I came alone. The two of them are resting at home.”
“Then! Would you like to act with us?”
“Daisy!”
Suddenly, Daisy’s childhood friend, Jack, tugged at her arm, as if asking what that meant. Daisy flung his arm away and continued her words.
“We’ve also been promoted to iron rank this time.”
“To the iron grade?”
“Yes! And the condition for that promotion is to wipe out all the goblins residing in the ruined castle.”
“Sweeping everything? What kind of wind blew in the guild to say that?”
It was the guild that told them not to completely wipe out the monsters instead of the goblins, saying that other monsters could be seduced. The change of language now did not make sense to him.
“Um… We were curious about that too, so we asked. I guess I said it was because goblins who have been in place for too long become more clever than they need to be.”
Bondi Goblin’s disposition is clever and wicked. To the point where he prefers a surprise attack to a head-on fight, the back of his head rather than the enemy’s heart.
But it’s obvious.
Since they are such stupid creatures, if you think a little, you can realize their goals. However, goblins who have settled in one place for a long time and ‘learned’ are different.
It’s all stupid, but sometimes it reads human behavior and stabs people out of the blue.
For this reason, most adventurer guilds subjugated nearby goblin dens for a certain period of time.
From the conversation I just had, I understood what the meteor guild wanted.
“But wouldn’t it be difficult to subdue all the goblins with just you guys?”
Yooseong looked around Daisy’s party members. As far as he could remember, none of them stood out.
“Yes, so other adventurers besides us received this request. They are competing with us!”
Naturally, the guild didn’t think that Daisy’s party would be able to wipe out all the goblins.
There were also adventurers who received the same request, and they are also hunting around the abandoned castle.
“So… I think it could end faster if Han Yuseong-nim helped me…”
Daisy wiggled his fingers and looked at the meteor.
Yooseong thought deeply about something, then smiled and shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that will work.”
The reason he came here is purely karma. When he made a team, he only shared karma, but had no other merit.
“Is that so…”
Daisy bowed her head in regret. Yuseong smiled lightly, feeling that the ears of a puppy that didn’t even exist were drooping.
“I can’t help you, but I will cheer you on. Cheer up.”
He tapped Daisy on the shoulder a few times and left. Daisy couldn’t take her eyes off him as he walked away.
“Anyway, what’s good about a guy like that? They are famous adventurers.”
Jack stood beside her, sarcastically. Seeing him like that, Daisy clicked his tongue.
“You will probably never know.”
It is only natural that admiration leans towards the person with whom one had a contact rather than the far away person.

“Good. Are you all ready?”
Said Danny, the bald adventurer, looking around at his companions.
Now they’re going to raid one of the three goblin colonies.
As long as we waited until dark, the effect of the surprise attack must be certain.
When the goblins are wandering around, I plan to hit and run quickly.
“I am ready.”
The adventurers looked at Danny and nodded.
Good. Now is the time to step in. Danny turned to face the goblin colony.
As soon as you go over the bushes that block your front…
Chow-
The bushes stirred and a man appeared.
Startled, Daisy and her companions raised their weapons. After checking the man’s face, I lowered my weapon in relief.
“Han Yuseong?”
What appeared was Han Yuseong.
He said, wiping the blood off his hands with his handkerchief.
“It’s all over, so you can go in. You guys have the fangs. That should be enough to meet the promotion conditions.”
Yooseong put a handkerchief in his bosom and left. The four of them stared blankly at his back as he left for a while.
Then I came to my senses and walked to the goblin colony where the meteor came out.
The two goblins guarding the colony’s entrance lay down with a hole in their neck. Seeing that there were no other wounds, it seemed that he had been killed cleanly with a single knife cut.
“Also..!”
“As expected, what is it? I will do this as well. You should look inside rather than that. You said it was all over, right? See you somewhere.”
Jack sneered and walked towards the colony. He crouched down and entered the colony through a low-level entrance. I checked the inside of the colony and it hardened as it was.
“Why are you stopping?”
Daisy came in behind him. She too looked around inside her hive, her eyes wide open.
There were a total of five tents in the colony. A large tent located in the center and four tents surrounding it. Blood flowed from all of the tents and soaked the floor.
Daisy walked over and lifted the tent. Inside were rows of goblin corpses with holes in their hearts. Most of them had their eyes wide open as if they had woken up in agony.
“And…”
She went around and looked at the other tents. All the goblins were dead with their eyes wide open.
Even the goblins who appear to be chieftains.

“Brother, you are late. Isn’t it like yesterday that you don’t come in like this?”
“Oh hey, Kara. It’s not something ominous.”
“What is that ominous sound? I’m just saying it because it’s a real story. Isn’t this all your sister’s fault in the first place?”
Kara grumbled as she leaned back in her chair.
“What? Why is it my fault? It’s your fault for being caught.”
“This wouldn’t have happened if my sister hadn’t recommended that book!”
“When was the last time you enjoyed reading enough to refuse to go home… Are you talking about something else now?”
“Ugh…”
Kara choked her speechless. It was true that she was immersed in books. But she was also a bit embarrassed. She enjoyed reading the book simply because the book was interesting.
Material has nothing to do with it.
…But it’s a problem because others don’t think so.
In the end, all she could do was make a pouty face.
“…So what are you going to do now? My brother said openly that he would play with another woman.”
“What about that?”
“What?”
Kara frowned at her. I wondered if that stupid sister had heard her words correctly.
Whether she heard it correctly, Celis shrugged her shoulders as if that was the case.
“It is not a problem for Yoosung to play with other women. The important thing is what number I am among Yooseong.”
She said, puffing out her chest.
It’s like saying he’s his first…
“Wow… Unlucky.”
Kara is offended by her.
On the one hand, she was also dumbfounded. Why are you so calm now on a subject you were so restless after yesterday’s meteor left?
There is a hidden fact that Kara does not know.
‘It’s really going to be okay, right?’
– How many times have I not told you it’s okay?
It is the existence of the Yeocheonma who rents and lives in the consciousness of Seris.
In fact, last night’s Seris was just as Kara had imagined it. She was terrified by the meteor’s declaration and shivered under the covers.
Her Yeocheonma worked hard to soothe her, and thanks to her efforts, Seris was able to gain the confidence she has now.
‘But if Yooseong falls for another woman at least once in a while…’
-Haha… Aye, have some confidence. You are so beautiful that even the original woman, who was once called Gyeonggukjisaek, can take a step back. If you put your mind to it, it’s not even a matter of grabbing hold of that guy.
‘That’s right? Is that right?’
And Yeocheonma’s appeasement continued until now. Celis’ mentality was much softer than her Heavenly Demon’s thoughts.
“I’m back.”
The door opened and the meteor came in.
Time to put it into practice!
Seris repeated the story she had shared with the Yeocheonma and put it into action.
“Have you been?”
She approached Yoosung with a soft smile. It is a smile that I practiced dozens of times while looking at the water in the gourd. She took his coat and hung it on her hanger.
She didn’t question her about staying out last night.
‘Her grandmother did. Men hate obsessive women.’
At first, she rejoices at her lover’s jealousy, but as time goes by, it becomes annoying.
So Seris was really, really curious about what happened last night, but she held it in.
“Would you mind not washing?”
“I came in after washing.”
Yooseong yawned and sat down on the bed. Cerris let out a deep breath and caught her heart.
“Is it so? Then…”
Ceris extinguished the large lantern in the center of her room. The room went dark in an instant. Squeak. Only the rustling of clothes can be heard.
Before long, a small, portable lantern was lit.
Seris’s half-naked body was illuminated by the bonfire. The graceful curves that glowed vermilion when illuminated by the lanterns created an obscene yet sticky atmosphere.
A lace bra with a floral design made up of a translucent single layer seemed to show pink nipples, but hid them so that they could not be seen.
She stretched out her thin arm and gently brushed her oily thigh.
“Tonight…”
“Sorry, I’m a little tired today.”
Yuseong poured her kobold admiral into her mouth and lay back on her bed.
“Uh..? Yoo, Mr. Yooseong?”
Isn’t this…?
Seris reached out her hand to shake the meteor awake.
Slap!
Kara hit her on the back of her hand.
“Your brother is tired.”
Kara said, narrowing her eyes. The corners of her mouth, slightly raised, seem to sneer.
“What is the first?”
Kara murmured and lay down on her bed. She turned her body and fell into Yuseong’s arms.
Seris looked at the two lying on the bed with a dazed expression.
‘What’s this..? I’m sure if I do this, Yooseong will come over to me!’
-…Didn’t you say you were tired? Leave it alone. It’s not just me today.
‘What?! You’re stepping out now…’
“Kuhup..!”
The sound of unbearable laughter.
Cerys turned her head back. Ariel caught her eyes, covering her mouth and giggling.
“Ariel? What is so funny?”
“Heh, hehe…! You, you bought new underwear today. I’ve been picking and choosing for a very long time, but I think I was kicked out without even looking at it… Huh? Now, wait a minute, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. Cow, it’s about underwear. Even if I show you later… Ah!”
“Shut up. Shut up!”
Cerys slammed her pillow at Ariel.
Baek! Baek!
A dull sound rang out.
“It hurts! Sick! Could it be that you put a stone in the pillow!?”
Along with the screams of the elves.
