Chapter 123 – Chapter 2 – Chaerin Yoo (3)
No, I feel rather cute because I’m showing off that I’m annoyed like that.
When I saw her tied up in her, she burst out laughing, and I heard her say what she was laughing.
Anyway, it seems that the chain cannot be dispelled due to Chaerin’s ability.
“Do you know how surprised I was to be sent to a place like this without a proper explanation? I can’t even see you who was there with me.”
“No, I didn’t know what was going to happen either. I didn’t come late on purpose.”
“Really?”
There’s no need for me to lie about it.
In the first place, I persuaded her, saying that it is normal for me to not know such details when I am doing this for the first time.
And she explained that arriving late also seems to be a characteristic of the dungeon.
It was only then that Chaerin’s expression softened slightly.
“But why are you tied up there?”
“I don’t know, I broke down her door and came in to take a look. She suddenly became unable to use her magic and was tied up.”
“Ah…”
It seems that Chaerin moved just as I expected.
As I entered her door next to her, I saw that they tied her up because it wasn’t her proper way.
Still, if you don’t kill them and just tie them up, that’s pretty humane.
Well, there are many cases like this in mythic dungeons, except for the last one.
“Anyway, let this go.”
“Wait, I’ll find a way to solve it.”
If you dare to think that the two rooms are connected like this, it seems like the intention is to take other colleagues when they clear this place.
Then there must be a way to break that chain.
Following the chain, on the floor we reached, there was a sign with a sign telling us to put something on it, along with letters.
It’s a different word from the ‘evidence’ that was outside, so it doesn’t seem like you’re bringing the fragments of the broken door like before.
I accidentally touched the floor with my hand while looking for a way to operate it, and at that moment, the floor lit up and the chains began to scatter as sand.
Did you just put your hand up and make it work?
If that’s the case, if you draw palm shapes instead of letters, it’s easier for users of other languages to understand, and how good is it?
“Are you hurt anywhere? Is your wrist or ankle okay?”
“Yeah, I think it’s fine.”
For now, it was a good enough situation to think about reuniting with Chaerin safely.
Now I know where this dungeon is, and although it’s not perfect, I’ve got quite a bit of information that could be useful for clearing it.
The biggest concern was whether Chaerin was aware of this dungeon.
Honestly, the fact that she finds out about it is a variable, so I’m cautious.
If you don’t know it, but realize it at an important timing and run wild, it can develop into a bigger problem.
After all, it would be better to talk about this properly and let it go.
In a dungeon, it’s more dangerous to run out of control unexpectedly than not to be motivated.
“Chaerin, do you know where this dungeon is?”
“…There’s no way he knew. You said you didn’t know earlier either.”
“No, I didn’t know how it was going. I found out where it was by going through the door.”
Chaerin listened to my story with a thoughtless expression.
I brought up the story as carefully as possible that this dungeon was likely the dungeon where the oil painting hunter died.
She asked if she thought she had heard it wrong, what the hell did you mean to me?
“It’s just as I explained. You know that too, right? A video of oil painting hunter’s sacrifice.”
“…”
“Based on the text that appeared there, I opened the first door, so I think it’s almost certain.”
“That, it could just be a dungeon that matches the worldview.”
“That’s right.”
Embarrassed, Chaerin tried to deny the reality by stuttering her words.
It was only after seeing that kind of appearance that I really realized that this dungeon was her trauma.
But as much as it is, this part should be more certain and move on.
“After I entered this dungeon, I learned something.”
“Uh?”
“This dungeon was chosen through your trauma. That’s why I was able to recall the case of Yoo Chae-hwa Hunter.”
“…”
Just listening to her explanation made Chaerin’s face start to turn blue.
It’s a bit pitiful, but I didn’t stop and calmly explained how I opened the door to this place.
It feels strange because she is shaking like a child with an expression uncharacteristic of Chaerin.
“It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s just a dungeon that looks the same.”
“Ah, yes…”
“It’s good to say that it was reproduced. The dungeon from that time is absolutely not left.”
Not sure what to say to comfort her, she blindly hugged her and gave her a pat.
Because unless you know exactly what her wounds look like, you can’t touch them hastily.
Originally, I planned to read her thoughts using ‘I totally sympathize with you’, but…
[This attribute cannot be used on the target.]
A message popped up for the first time and the attribute was cancelled.
After experimenting just in case, it seems that you can’t use the attributes against Chaerin inside this dungeon.
This is a bit of a headache.
“I-I…”
“Don’t worry too much. Didn’t I open the first door without difficulty?”
“…Huh”
There are some parts that are slightly weak due to lack of equipment, but we have two S-class hunters and a manager.
They even have the minimum amount of data necessary for attacking, so there will be no problems.
He didn’t seem completely calm after hearing my explanation, but he seemed much better than before.
“Where can you fight because you’re so nervous?”
“…Are you okay?”
“Did you eat? I heard you left much earlier than me.”
“Yet.”
Of course, when I came here, I never brought any food with me.
Instead, I tried it because I could make something simple using magic tools.
Of course, the food made this way is made of magic, so it is not digested like real food.
But originally, even if a hunter has magic, he can survive without eating.
Just eating for self-satisfaction has the effect of raising morale.
It’s funny that he thinks that his morale should go up.
Even though they know that it doesn’t really mean anything, they say that eating something unexpectedly gives them strength.
“It’s infinite cup ramen that refills itself.”
“The food choices are really bad.”
“In the original dungeon, wasn’t this the national rule?”
“Aren’t you watching too many movies? These days, everyone eats normal lunch boxes.”
That’s because I’m the one who knows the best because I place orders every time, right?
What I was talking about was the story of the special food you eat when you get tired of it.
If I was the only one left at work, would I eat cup noodles for a late-night snack?
“Do you want anything?”
“Something sweet.”
“Can you make me a cake?”
“Huh.”
Come to think of it, there are a lot of women who like sweet things.
I like sweet snacks too, but at times like this, I like salty and hot ramen rather than sweet ones.
Anyway, everyone’s taste is so different.
I laughed and made a cup with infinite cupcakes.
He said he had no real sense and ate a lot of swear words.
No, but within the cupcake design, I chose tiramisu as the type to choose something plausible.
Isn’t it a little bit like saying there’s no sense?
“That’s not what I’m talking about. You fool. It’s because you use that ability like that.”
“Then what should I do?”
“Look at design, not practicality.”
Oh, that’s the part I don’t want to pay attention to either.
But I’m a beginner unlike Seol-ah, who has honed this trait for a long time.
I’m not good enough to design something like a pretty cake box.
Then the cake inside might explode.
Because there was a legitimate reason, I worked hard imagining making excuses in my head.
No matter how much I think about it, saying that I can’t do it because I don’t have the skills here seems embarrassing, so I quit.
He would like it if he made it cool later on after he accumulated his skills.
‘The expression seems to have brightened considerably.’
Perhaps because the subject itself has returned closer to normal daily life, it seemed that the mentality that had collapsed due to the work of the oil painting hunter had recovered a lot.
By the way, until I ate it, I tackled all the stars with the design, but when I ate it, my expression melted.
I watched her sigh as I sipped her ramen soup.
“While eating deliciously.”
“Kheum, the taste is good. It’s not perfect, but.”
“Don’t expect chef quality on fakes made with magic.”
“I know. But it’s a little strange. My neck is a little comfortable.”
“Neck?”
It is said that he received a lot of training on how to feel pleasure through his throat, so he went away lightly whenever he ate or drank.
But now he doesn’t feel that sensation at all, so he said it’s nice to be able to focus on eating something.
Can it happen all of a sudden?
“Do you remember what it felt like when I bullied you?”
“Of course, I remember it being so damn hard… But I’m a bit hazy about how it felt.”
It’s strange.
Until a few days ago, there was no such phenomenon with Chaerin.
That means the phenomenon causing that phenomenon is related to this dungeon we are clearing right now.
‘Come to think of it, I couldn’t designate Chaerin even as the target of the trait.’
Could it be that when I prove my oath in the ‘Oath of the Womb’, the relationships and assistants I made based on my traits become meaningless?
As soon as I came up with a highly probable hypothesis, I felt a sense of dread as if my hair was growing.
I didn’t even want to imagine what would have happened if I had tried to make a womb oath with a guy like A-yeong who was maintaining a relationship using her characteristics.
Anyway, I don’t feel like Chaerin’s behavior toward me has changed.
Most of the memories of the assistant have faded, and the resulting physical and mental reactions have also disappeared.
There are memories of being close to me, but in fact, it means that I came back as the original Chaerin…
‘Let’s try a little bit.’
I thought that this situation might create some variables.
He cautiously approached Chaerin and kissed her lightly.
Then, Chaerin smiled and accepted my kiss, and rather joyfully put her tongue in my direction and exchanged thick saliva.
“Pheh… How is it? Are my lips sweet?”
“I don’t know because it’s buried in the scent of tiramisu.”
“Hey! No real mood?”
“It’s a joke. A joke. It’s fucking sweet.”
She was still looking at me with loving eyes.
There doesn’t seem to be any problem.
I lifted her up, relieved that her feelings for me hadn’t changed much.
“Shall we go soon?”
“I guess so.”
I walked all the way through the hallway, and walked towards the next area I had been looking at earlier.
A large space similar to the first one came into view.
Likewise, it was also confirmed that there was a large door in the center that looked like an exit.
If you see that there is a door on the entrance side, it is a structure that closes the door so that you cannot go back when you enter here.
“An ordeal with monsters.”
“A monster will appear.”
After muttering the correct answer at the same time, we looked at each other’s faces and nodded slowly.
Rather, it would be more comfortable for Chaerin to attack in this way.
“Prepare…”
As we ran inside, we heard the door close behind us.
All the walls except for the entrance and exit opened and monsters poured out.
