Chapter 136 – Exploring the Anthill.
Someone you can rely on.
Didn’t they say that between a man and a woman, love sprouts when life is in danger…
Just look at that famous movie, Titanic.
Titanic deals with the theme of love between a woman and a man that bloomed in a sinking ship.
However, the surprising fact is that the female protagonist was a fiancée who had a fiancé and was to be married.
Even though that woman has her fiancé, she is a bitch who fell in love at first sight with a picture-perfect blonde she met on a boat and betrayed her fiancé too… !!!
The story is a bit leaky, but my conclusion is that when life is in danger, regardless of whether there is a fiancé, the desire to reproduce the species springs up, and it is easy to fall in love.
And the situation we are in right now is not good. A single twist can put your life at risk.
Perhaps Elina will be very anxious about this situation, so she needs to take care of her intensively.
I’m anxious as well, but nothing can be solved by sitting down and crying like a little girl.
In such a situation, you have to be brave and make the best choice.
“Let’s think about the situation I’m in.”
Directly threatening my life are giant monsters called ‘ants’. But just as dangerous as them are the three fuck trolls piled up at the party.
First of all, we need to stop these assholes from trolling any further.
In order to do that, I must first take the lead in this situation.
Did you say that the enemy of the enemy is an ally? First of all, if Jimmy, who is out of control at all, is made a scapegoat and made a public enemy, he will be able to enlist the cooperation of Seirwin and Visil.
No one disagrees with me because the atrocities of Jimmy’s atrocities make even Fade, the most humanitarian of the group, unable to trust him.
“…”
Things wouldn’t have gone this far if it hadn’t been for fucking Jimmy in the first place.
The more I think about it, the more I get angry. This fucking rom this.
Anyway, no matter how precious people’s lives are, even Fade, who says that, can’t help it in a situation where you want your own life to be in danger.
That, after all, is a person.
No matter how much a person takes care of a person who is physically injured by projecting it on his father, even if he acts altruistically, that is because in the end, there is no direct disadvantage to himself.
“I think I can lead the party in the direction I want.”
Now that the situation is in my hands, the important thing is Elina.
I approached Elina, who was sitting in a corner.
Then she sat down next to Elina and held her hand tightly without saying a word.
“Hanseong?”
“Don’t worry too much. Just join us and you will be fine.”
Elina looked at my hand and said.
“… To be honest, I was regretting it.”
“Which one?”
“When Jimmy keeps instigating trouble, she should have taken action by kicking her out a long time ago. Because he’s a stronger man than me. I was a little afraid to speak directly. If you go into the ant nest and fight the ants, it will be quiet. It’s my fault for being complacent.”
“Who would have known that he would continue to be like that even after he entered the anthill? It’s not Elena’s fault. That person is strange.”
“Thank you.”
At my consolation, Elina smiled weakly as if she were feeling a little cheered up. So while she was comforting Elina and sharing her big bow, Jimmy, who was lying on her face, started to make noise.
“Ouch…”
“Looks like you woke up. Get ready to move slowly. She should join the others quickly.”
“I guess so.”
Her moaning little Jimmy roared, moving her arms tied behind her back as if she had fully recovered.
“Hey, what is this!! Hey!! What are you guys doing!!”
“Are you a little more conscious now?”
I squatted next to Jimmy on the floor and looked down at him as he glared at me with poisonous eyes.
“Release this right now! You bastards!!”
“Looks like you still can’t figure out the subject?”
I picked up Jimmy’s dagger and stabbed him in the armpit.
“Aww! Aww!! You bastard!!!!”
“This is a really great stone head.”
Well, it must have been this level of ignorance and stupidity to play the game like that. It’s a mindset that normal people like me can’t understand.
He continued poking his armpit until he was quiet.
It wasn’t until the blood began to form in his armpit and spread through his clothes that he cried and begged me.
“Stop… Please stop poking… So painful…”
“Do you speak short?”
“Ugh! Sorry! Please stop!!”
“Hey, Visilla.”
“…”
Bisil, who was looking at me stupidly from one side, called him, but he didn’t know he was calling and just stared at me.
“Me?”
“Who else is a secret person besides you?”
“My name is…”
“It’s done. Take this spear and rope.”
The guy who was handed the rope and the dagger that tied Jimmy put on a bewildered expression.
“You’re putting this bastard first. If he stops walking, stab him with a spear. You lost your teeth because you were hit by this guy earlier. Don’t you want revenge?”
“Ah…”
Visil finally understood my words and pulled the rope that tied Jimmy.
“Ugh!! My feet are tied behind me and it hurts! Gently…”
“Don’t act too hard, get up quickly, bastard.”
“Huh… What the hell are you going to do… ?”
“Hey~ I still can’t figure out the situation.”
I grabbed Jimmy by the collar and raised him up, glaring at him.
“I see you don’t understand the situation right now. In the future, you will continue to lead the way. So, please move.”
“What, what?! At least let go of your arms… !”
“How can I trust you? Visilla!”
“Ah, yes.”
Visil stabbed Jimmy in the butt.
“Ah!!”
“If you don’t walk quickly and walk, you’ll get stabbed.”
“Ugh…”
“Elina, let’s go. We have to move quickly to join.”
“Ah yes… !”
Elina caught up next to me, and Fade followed with a puzzled look on her face.
Seirwyn…
“Ho Ho! It’s ugly. A sick commoner bastard. It should have been moderately messy.”
Covering her mouth with the back of her hand, she laughed and laughed at Jimmy, who had become like a detection dog.
*****
“Ha… Ha…”
“Hey Natalie. Calm down a little.”
Natalya said with a tearful expression to the old man who was holding her by the shoulders.
“Ha, but! If something happens to Hansung, I will… !”
“Please stay calm. In times like these, you need to be alert and move. If we move quickly, we will be able to meet Hanseong.”
“Hanseong… I’m Hansung…”
Natalia’s complexion turned white. She was completely in tears and didn’t know what to do.
As if to disprove her confused head, Beck clicked her tongue at the skeletons rattling at the joints and the flickering spheres of light.
“It will be difficult to go any further than this. Let’s take a break for now.”
“That would be nice.”
At Beck’s consideration, Roin nodded her head, hugged Natalya, and gently patted her back.
“Okay, it’s okay. It’s okay, so take a deep breath with me. Whoa… Ha…”
“Whoa… Ha… Whoa… Ha…”
Natalya, imitating the old man’s actions, immediately closed her eyes, took out her small bronze coin from her bosom, and held it tightly as if holding something precious.
“Suddenly, why coin?”
“It’s something that Hanseong-nim gave me as a gift in the past… Ha… I feel like I’m calming down a little bit because I’m touching this. Han Sung…”
“I’m glad you’re calming down.”
Roin briefly stroked the back of Natalia, who was fiddling with a bronze coin, then turned to Beck.
“I’m worried if I can join.”
“It’s still a single road, so if there is a fork in the road, we’ll mark it and go.”
“That’s a good idea. You’re probably walking along the wall on the left, just like I taught you. Even if we can’t meet on this floor, if we go downstairs, the road will eventually connect.”
“I can feel Hansung’s energy.”
“Huh?”
I looked back at Natalia, who was fiddling with coins, as if she had calmed down before I knew it.
“What are you talking about? Can you feel the energy?”
“Because the energy of death emanates from Hansung. That will give you an approximate location…”
“I’m glad. Why are you so anxious when you can feel Hanseong’s energy?”
“Because you have to concentrate to feel it… I was a bit distracted until just now… Touching my treasure seems to calm me down a bit.”
“A bronze coin is a treasure…”
The old man smiled, feeling strange that Natalya, who is usually quite spendthrift, treats only a bronze coin so preciously.
“I’m glad you can feel Hanseong’s energy. Then it won’t be too difficult to find.”
“Let’s move slowly. The longer you spend with other party members, the higher the chance of annihilation. We need to join as soon as possible.”
At my mother’s urging, Natalya shook her head and focused her mind.
“Great. It moves.”
