Chapter 232 – Chapter 17 – A Letter From Another World (4)
“Come back as soon as possible. You know it’s going to be unsettling when a long-time favorite hero is gone, right?”
“…That’s why you’re sneaking around without an announcement. I know that.”
“If you don’t want to make kids without a father, don’t forget to come back.”
“I know.”
Today, Hyeeun only speaks in a serious tone.
Maybe that’s why I felt more real about the current situation, and I felt a lot of sorry for her.
Rather, it makes me weak because of that, but that doesn’t mean I can give up.
“Is everyone ready?”
“Huh.”
“Yes, it’s perfect.”
Apparently, they were planning to raise their levels to level 10 and 0, so everyone was wearing pre-made exclusive equipment.
It is not common for 9th level to receive exclusive equipment, but it is unavoidable because if you move over there, you cannot ask for equipment from this side.
I’ll probably have to come back later and tweak it to fit my leveled up abilities.
‘…Well, it’s the same even if you go from level 10 to level 0.’
Even if you don’t have to worry about it, it was an infrastructure that was developing naturally since the highest grade, F-class hunter, was newly discovered.
Rather than that, I was grateful to the producers who focused on extracting a large number of dedicated equipment in such a short period of time.
Even in such an urgent situation, I had to design it according to the unique taste of the guys.
“…I have a lot to say when I look at your clothing designs in many ways. I’ll just skip it. I don’t have time to worry about that.”
You’re going to wear a coat over it anyway, so if you think it’s a little crazy underwear, it’s worth going over it.
Rather, what I care about is the consumables that I prepared to take care of as much as possible…
As I gained authority, I collected all the things that were banned from distribution on the market, so there were quite a few scary things.
“Honestly, I thought Hye-eun’s usual medicines were amazing, but there were many more…”
“Well, that’s of course. Apparently, Hye-eun took only things that were useful to people, whether she was herself or whatever. Now those are…”
“Huh.”
These were drugs that were virtually by-products of failure, for which no safety was tested and side effects were expected to be staggering.
It’s possible because it was brought on the premise that it would be used against the elves, the main enemies.
…Of course, I’m not sure if this drug will work properly, but I took care of everything I could to prepare with the mindset that I would try it.
“Is everyone’s ears working properly?”
“Of course I checked.”
“Okay. Well, but Yurim, let’s change your bottoms. Honestly, that’s a bit obvious.”
“Okay?”
“It’s too clingy.”
Since she had to disguise herself as an elf, she had to be careful about this.
But what I can’t help is that the other side of the world is at a level where all elves rule.
Moving as an elf would be far less restrictive in a place like that, so there’s no choice.
“For that reason, voila!”
“…Hyeeun-ah, whose clothes are these?”
“Of course Eunhyuk is your clothes.”
“Get out of here, you bastard.”
She gave out the clothes she had seen a lot somewhere, so she endured it all to hit Hye-eun.
Obviously, when I was mistaken for a woman, Hye-eun was wearing the female version of a fallen angel.
I was just going to put on cat ears and a tail, and pretend I was a slave to the kids I was traveling with.
Why do you have to prepare something like that to dress up as an elf?
“Why.”
“Why do I dress as a woman… No, even if I dress as a woman if necessary! I will never wear such a revealing prostitute outfit.”
“…As expected, it doesn’t work. I thought you’d accept it at a time like this.”
“If you knew it wouldn’t work, don’t prepare.”
In the end, it was hard to ignore the opinion that we should wear women’s clothing, so we decided to find a compromise.
Overall, it’s a neutral style, and it’s a coordination that covers her face with sunglasses and a mask while showing the elf ears.
Still, rather than dressing as a woman, it was closer to the extent that it was difficult to tell whether it was a woman or a man, so it seemed worthwhile.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, to some extent, they misunderstood the body shape and put it on their clothes to make it look. It’s hard to tell if it’s a woman or a man.”
However, because of the elf ears and the fact that the penis protrudes from the lower body, most people will inevitably mistake it for an elf with small breasts.
In fact, even if I acted like a man, I thought I would be mistaken if I only had a cock and ears.
Still, this level of minimal caution was necessary, so I was able to accept it up to this point.
“…Something is relaxing. Thank you.”
“Huh? What?”
If you think about it, preparing even though you knew it would be difficult…
I thought that Hye-eun, who noticed that I was nervous, might have deliberately prepared to release it.
Even if you pretend not to, it’s highly likely that it was because he’s a deep-seated kid.
“It’s just, in many ways. Oh, sorry. I’m ready too. Let’s go now.”
Because of the scuffle just now, she was slightly delayed from her originally planned departure time.
Everyone is ready and waiting, but it took too much time.
I made eye contact with the guys who were looking at me without thinking, and slowly began to activate the characteristics I copied in the letter.
I wonder if it was made perfectly, but I felt pain as if the mana of my whole body was entangled just by activating it.
Thanks to the recovery of the galaxy that was watching just in case, I was able to carry on by force.
I was wondering if there was a problem at this stage, but there is no problem until the portal is created.
“It looks like the entrance to a very difficult dungeon.”
“I know it was made using the dungeon system in the first place. The elves must have come this way similarly.”
After saying hello to everyone who looked at us anxiously, the five of us slowly entered the portal.
When I went beyond the intense light and fully entered the portal, the galaxy’s characteristics that restored my body were blocked.
Feeling excruciating pain, I hurriedly closed the portal.
“Ugh…!”
“Darling?”
“Honey…!”
“Manager!”
“What’s up, are you okay?”
As I sat down coughing up blood, everyone was startled and supported me, making a fuss.
It would have been dangerous if I kept it for too long, but thanks to realizing it right away and closing it, my life was not affected.
Well, once you have your life attached to it, you just have to slowly recover it and endure it.
“Why does the wound remain the same even if I turn back to the past…!”
“Princess, it’s okay, you can treat it slowly. Rather, please investigate the surroundings first.”
Perhaps this damage is of a different dimension and of a different quality, so it will be difficult to recover with attributes below level 10.
Since the galaxy is level 0, it must have been possible to overcome even that.
Anyway, assuming that I arrived safely, it was more important to investigate the surroundings as soon as possible than to recover my body.
“Hmm, this repulsive force… It’s weak, but it’s a dungeon.”
“It’s as expected. First of all, the transfer itself seems to be a success, so the next step is to check if the destination is correct.”
To be honest, since this is the first dimension leap, we may have crash-landed in a place other than the Miao world we were aiming for right away.
…But if it’s hard to open the portal again like this, if it’s a crash landing, things will be very complicated.
It will take a long time.
“The dungeon’s difficulty itself is on the easy side… But it has a strong artificial feel to it.”
“Certainly, I feel like I’m using something for something, right?”
As much as the earth is doing similar work now, it was a place where I could get a sense of it.
Although this place is treated as a dungeon, there was a high possibility that it was actually run more like a factory than a dungeon.
Because it is necessary for breeding monsters that require dungeon environments and for creating habitats for special plants.
“Now I can move a little… Let’s look around while using the characteristics as defensively as possible.”
“Huh.”
As we expected, if this is such a place, you can’t choose the option of just clearing the dungeon and leaving.
Because if you clear this place and disappear, there will be an uproar because of the disappearance of the factory.
However, if you find the exit with strong magic, you may be caught by the security section.
It is best to find the entrance plainly and leave quietly, rather than risking such dangerous attention.
“It’s quieter than I thought. I guess it’s like a mine that’s busy working.”
“I see… I just need to manage and feed them, isn’t it a space for that kind of purpose?”
“Oh, something comes out soon.”
“If you see the temperature is low, is it a refrigerator?”
There were several large rooms that looked like refrigerators, and there were liquids organized with letters I had never seen before.
Judging from the fact that it’s packaged roughly in a large container, and there’s no label whatsoever.
It seemed that those liquids were probably produced here.
Certainly, in the case of monster bodily fluids, there are many cases where they are extracted and used like that.
“Hmm, I can hear the sound. Isn’t it getting closer to a workshop or a factory now?”
“That’s right. If you put it that far away from the warehouse in the first place, it’s just troublesome to transport it.”
We moved towards the sound, and we were relieved at least a little as we saw the elf-looking people passing by.
As expected, the movement itself seems normal.
Seeing as they don’t care too much about us, it doesn’t seem like we’re wearing suspicious clothes either.
Then you just have to find a way out.
‘…Are public maps not for security reasons?’
Still, as long as people eventually come in and out, you can find it just by looking at the flow of people moving.
Anyway, the sound I heard earlier is a bit strange.
For some reason, it felt like something resounded that I couldn’t tell if it was someone’s scream or groan.
‘Are there monsters that imitate humans?’
And that kind of thinking, the moment I saw the ‘work’ being done in this dungeon, I realized that it was a complete illusion.
Certainly, monsters were farmed there, as we expected, and the production of ‘body fluid’ was working hard.
…The problem is that there was something close to a human being inside the workshop, not a monster.
