Chapter 402 – At the Gate (5)
*
I didn’t expect to meet Instructor Kim Si-young and Min-ah here, but they seem to be patrolling around the island regularly for safety reasons.
It was lunch time, so he was hungry, and he was waiting to have lunch with us.
Minah was glaring at me as if she didn’t like the current situation.
‘Well… It’s because they’re all women.’
I know she’ll be surrounded by women for over a week, but she can’t help it.
Instructor Kim Si-young didn’t care about that and seemed to be focusing only on Golden King Pig.
“Instructor Siyoung Kim?”
“Be quiet, because now is the most important moment.”
Seeing her Golden King Pig, Instructor Kim Si-young’s eyes rolled, and she suddenly drew her dagger from her own waistband, and her dismemberment show proceeded.
The appearance of a gigantic 1M-sized pig being skinned and disintegrating in an instant, probably because of her active duty for a long time.
I wonder if it’s really a gray blade, it’s just slaughtering, but surely if that skill goes in a different direction, it’ll be pretty scary.
“Wow.. That fast..”
“Cadet Hyeji Park.”
“Yeah.. Yep?!”
“You can only remove foreign substances on the surface, right? You have to make sure that no moisture gets into the meat.”
“Ah… I see.”
Park Hye-ji washes the blood from the cut golden king pig meat.
Perhaps because of Instructor Kim Si-young, who was staring at her with bloody eyes, she was shaking her hands without realizing it.
“Good. It’s also a skill for sure. Cadet Yoon Seo-ah! Cadet Lee Da-eun! Light a fire under this stone tablet!”
“Yes yes! Ah… I see!”
“All right..”
“The firepower is too strong! Reduce the firepower a little more there! Hey, why are you guys just watching! Come on, put the firewood!”
“Yes!”
“Instructor Siyoung Kim?”
“Do not disturb! Do you think the opportunity to slaughter and eat a Golden King Pig comes easily!”
“The cadets are watching. Instructor Siyoung Kim.”
“Do you know how sensitive these guys are? In addition, the monsters are also actively targeting them, so it is a rare species with only a small number of them!”
“Haa.. My eyes went back again..”
Instructor Kim Si-young, who only focuses on Golden King Pig, seems to be unable to hear Min-ah.
It was quite different from what I usually see, so it was quite fresh.
‘It was difficult to hunt, but was that enough?’
Actually, it was pure luck that I caught him. I was inspecting the gorge when it suddenly ran towards me.
Even though he was hiding his presence as much as possible, he was sensitive enough to notice, but there was no way to escape in the canyon.
As it turned out, I entered the canyon to avoid Minji and Park Hyeji, but it seems that I had no idea that I would be at the end.
Besides, they weren’t usually quick guys, so if it were the other guys, I might have missed them.
Even when I first caught them, Park Hye-ji said they were expensive enough to be classified as high-end meat, but I never thought the instructor would react like that.
Instructor Kim Si-young, who kept giving orders to Seo-ah and Da-eun and grilled the meat, couldn’t open her mouth easily because of her bloody face and atmosphere.
Mina, watching that, only sighs.
Kim Si-young, who grilled the golden king pig steak with delicate hands like a master craftsman, started slicing the steak with a blade made with magic.
Then she roughly brushed off the dagger, picked up a piece, and put it right into her mouth.
“Uh hee hee!”
A real reaction that usually occurs when women eat something delicious. If it had a tail, it would have been spinning around.
“Yes.. This is the taste.. This savory taste that comes out when the juice inside the meat bursts.. Ah.. How many years have you been eating this?”
“Kuhm..”
When Mina coughed loudly, as if she couldn’t see her anymore, Instructor Kim Si-young looked around to see if she had come to her senses.
She seemed to know what she was doing, so she lowered her head, and she herself began to clear her throat.
“I just checked in advance to see if there was anything wrong with the meat,” She said. According to the instructor, there seems to be no problem.”
Instructor Si-Young Kim, perhaps thinking of laying an iron plate, comes up with ridiculous excuses without a change in expression.
She honestly never thought she would make such a cute sound with such a bloody face.
She pretended not to know because she acted as if she wanted to be forgotten. Only Minah was holding Kim Siyoung’s side by her side.
“You must have been wanting to eat for a while?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Instructor Kang Min-ah.”
Hehe. Are you saying the same thing?”
“I never made a sound like that.”
I pretended not to see them bickering in the corner and I took a bite of that amazing Golden King Pig steak.
The savory taste that you feel the moment you put it in your mouth, the oily taste that explodes in your mouth, and the extremely savory taste fill your mouth with no greasy feeling at all.
Most of the monster’s meat is usually fishy or tough, but this one didn’t have that feeling and melted away in the mouth.
The inner part left after removing the tough-looking part from that big guy.
I wondered if I was throwing away too much than I thought, but was it really for this?
Everyone was screaming in agony at the exquisite taste of the Korean beef omakase they ate the other day.
“Delicious..”
“Yes! It seems to melt in your mouth!”
“How can it taste like this?”
Indeed, it is understandable that Instructor Kim Si-young reacted like that. What was honestly cute?
“By the way, it’s strange… I thought there was no Golden King Pig in this gate.”
“Cadet Kim Si-woo might have found what was hidden?”
“That’s strange… At least a trace could have been found.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Ah. Nothing.
Mina sent her subtle eyes, but when she gave her signal that she would take care of her later, she seemed to know and avoided the seat.
Obviously, the more women there are, the harder it is to keep the balance.
“How should I store the leftovers?”
“Isn’t it possible to freeze it with Yoon Seo-ah’s ability?”
“The instructor said that the other side was extremely tough and difficult to eat..”
The first day went smoothly like that.
*
“Ah… Mr. I think I will die from the heat.”
“Why do we have to train in a place like this? Lots of bugs and lots of grass! I’m annoyed!!”
The female cadet who cut down the giant insect with her sword muttered with an annoyed expression.
High temperature and high humidity, plus insects flying in all directions. Even just one would be irritating, but having all of them together was to the point of death.
“Wow.. Look at the size..”
Isn’t it said that insects in remote areas are usually different in size from common insects?
Yesterday I saw a fly the size of a fist, and seeing it made me feel sick to my stomach.
In addition, mosquitoes the size of a thumb came running from all sides, making it hard to stay sane.
“Yumi. Then, when the instructor hears, what are you going to do?”
“Aren’t the instructors sucking honey at the entrance anyway?”
“I bet all the instructors are having a hard time too?”
“Mijin, you’re too nice to wear. Ah… If only I could get into the cool water… “
Mijin stopped Kang Yu-mi from complaining about her, and Mi-jin dragged Kang Yu-mi into the woods.
“Why all of a sudden..”
“Shh!..”
Kang Yu-mi had no choice but to keep her mouth shut at the sight of Mi-jin covering her own mouth with her urgent expression, Mi-jin’s face not showing any playfulness in her.
And a giant praying mantis passing over them.
Could that be called a praying mantis? A monster resembling a mantis the size of a man passed by with the sound of its wings.
A gigantic praying mantis clad in her black armor, mercilessly slicing through her vines and branches with her forelegs.
The two of them couldn’t help but tremble at the sight of being cut like paper. A huge praying mantis that seemed dangerous at first sight passed by and the two breathed a sigh of relief.
“What… What is that?”
“Um…I heard that high-ranking monsters live inside… “
“No matter how you look at it, it looks like it’s B rank or higher…”
What would happen if they swung their front legs, which seemed sharper than most knives, at them?
Her body trembled as if she didn’t want to even think about it.
“I hadn’t heard of such monsters… “
“Maybe it’s because I’ve come too far inside?”
“It can’t be. I haven’t even heard of such a thing!”
“Joe, be quiet! What will you do if you come here again?”
“Sigh… “
“By the way… Where are you going?”
“I know..?”
*
“It’s strange.”
“Why are you doing that?”
Park Hye-ji, who was following the footsteps of the monster, had an expression of embarrassment.
“Ah… Is that you?”
“What happened? Are you Hyeji?”
“Ah… That’s it. I don’t know since when, but strangely, I didn’t see any monsters.”
“Isn’t it because we are too strong?”
It wasn’t unusual for a monster with good detection ability to avoid us.
No matter how much one suppresses one’s mana, having members like this gathered like this will be a threat to them.
‘Even so, it’s strange, but…’
However, there was a certain feeling that the number of monsters he encountered had decreased.
Even if you avoid those with good detection skills, not everyone can do that.
In particular, if it was a monster that was mainly active in its own territory, it was normal to run at it if we invaded our territory.
“It feels like the monsters are too invisible… Will it be okay?”
Even Dae-eun agrees with Park Hye-ji’s opinion. Certainly, compared to the first day, something was strange.
The moment I was searching in the forest with such an uncomfortable feeling, a red signal flare exploded around me.
The red signal flare means rescue. It meant that someone was in danger.
“Siwoo!”
“Let’s go over there for now!”
We moved towards the place where the red flare exploded.
