How to Steal the Protagonist’s Woman 1268

Chapter 1268 – 1268. Yggdrasil (8)

Erdin answered me instead of Lucien.

“I told them to go into the dungeon once they had collected all the keys. “It only opens once a week, so I have to go in now.”

“Who… ?”

“Hmm… There is an elf who said that. Please just understand that.”

Erdin turned around and said, as if he didn’t want to lie to me.

Actually, I already know who it is.

‘What on earth is this…? .’

Walter Luxsolis.

A man who not only doesn’t know what he’s thinking, but also knows a lot.

If he had acted or displayed a malicious attitude, I would have taken action long ago.

But…

‘Rather, it feels like it’s helping progress…’

Since he was acting as a helper rather than an obstacle, I couldn’t stop him carelessly.

Above all, even though I have not had my memories and abilities sealed, the information I know about this internal world is limited.

‘I wish I could go up to the third floor and find out something…’

I thought so and answered.

“Okay. Then, I will take my group with me, so let’s meet in front of the dungeon.”

“Yes.”

After finishing the conversation with the two elves, I took Hanbom with me and headed to the front of the dungeon.

Han Bom and the two elves met in front of the dungeon.

As someone who often met the three women, this place didn’t feel particularly strange.

But when the three women gathered together…

“… Hello.”

“Yes, hello.”

“…”

Insane awkwardness was spreading everywhere.

If you think about it, this atmosphere was completely normal.

‘… Because Bom didn’t talk to these two.’

We only exchanged greetings in passing occasionally, but did not have any conversation.

There was no way we could get along well.

No, it’s more than just an awkward relationship…

“Whoa…” .”

“…”

Hanbom hated the two elves because of me.

Fortunately, Lucien is usually polite to her, so I don’t feel like she dislikes her that much…

‘Ugh, stop staring…’

She openly showed her displeasure towards Erdin, who had no trace of courtesy.

Of course, Erdin was also looking at Hanbom with an unpleasant expression.

For your information, while Erdin stayed with me, she seemed to have lost her misanthropy on the outside…

‘I never thought it would be limited to me…’

Through the appearance of Erdin glaring at Midspring, it was clear that his hatred of humanity had not disappeared at all.

[There is still misanthropy in the temperament window.]

‘What… It won’t disappear that easily.’

I expressed my regret and led the conversation.

“Now, what should I do now?”

“Oh, it’s simple.”

Lucien came to his senses from my words and explained simply.

“You can enter the dungeon with as many keys as the number of people in your party.”

For your reference, the party you belong to mean the party you officially signed.

Currently, the only person who has officially formed a party with me is Namgung Yuha.

In the case of Han Bom, it was a party with Han Yeo, Min Hayeon, and her younger siblings.

For reference, the number of keys I currently have is exactly seven.

I left the keys for me and Namgung Yuha and handed the five keys to Hanbom.

It was a perfect fit.

After seeing Han Bom and I distribute the keys, Lucien nodded and continued her explanation.

“If I go in like this, I don’t know where I will go. But… “I don’t think there will be any major problems if we go in together.”

With her words of encouragement, Lucien…

“Okay, let’s go in.”

Entered the dungeon.

After that, Erdin watched me and entered, and Hanbom and I hurriedly followed behind him.

As I entered, I held Han Bom’s hand tightly.

‘I hope I don’t fall again.’

I entered the dungeon so worried.

And at the place we arrived…

“… Phew.”

Fortunately, the people who entered the dungeon were still gathered together.

“Phew… “I thought I was falling again.”

“Thank goodness.”

“I guess so.”

Not only Hanbom, who was holding my hand, but also Lucien and Erdin were relieved that they had not fallen apart.

But the relief of the two elves did not last long.

“… You seem to get along well.”

“Ha…”

When I saw Han Bom and I are holding hands, I openly expressed my discomfort.

And on the contrary, there were people who enjoyed this situation.

“Hehe…”

Hanbom squeezed her hand tighter as if she was bragging to the two elves.

Originally, I would have noticed and pulled out my hand…

‘Well, this might be okay too.’

From my perspective, I decided that it would be better to bring out the jealousy of the two elves, so I decided to leave it as is.

But think that way for a moment…

“Spring, let’s let go.”

“What is it? I hope you hold hands with me…”

“That’s not it. Now… “Something is coming.”

“!?”

As I felt signs of popularity flowing in from around me, I let go of Hanbom and began to be on guard.

After hearing what I said, Hanbom quickly let go of her hand, and Lucien and Erdin also took a stance at the same time as I said.

Not long after I felt so popular…

Ugh…

Several zombie-type monsters appeared through the darkness.

As I watched the zombie-type monsters approaching, I began to establish a command structure.

“First, I will do my best to catch anything that comes from far away. If someone approaches me because I missed it, Mr. Lucien, please take care of it. And if you come out of my sight, Erdin will help you, and Bom, you will save your strength as much as possible.”

“Yes!”

Hanbom, Lucien, and Erdin responded without showing any resistance despite my command-like words.

I checked the answer…

Shoot!

Kwasik! Big!

The battle began with the first shot fired.

.

.

The battle format was originally a wave-type defense, just like the first floor boss battle.

However, if there is any difference from the original first floor boss fight…

‘This place is also deteriorating.’

It has become much easier.

Originally, the 1st floor boss fight was not difficult unlike the 0th floor boss fight. (Excluding Cerberus because he is an event-like boss)

However, in that situation, the difficulty level was lowered to an easier level.

At first, I thought I was mistaken because my skills had improved since then.

However, I was able to know through the members in the same space that my illusion was an illusion.

“More than I thought… “Is it easy?”

“Yes. I was nervous too, just in case… “I never thought it would be like this.”

“I can handle this in my sleep.”

This battle was so easy that the three women who did not participate in the fight openly said that it was easy.

More than ten monsters did not appear at a time, and even when they did, they approached so slowly that it took a good minute to reach our location.

And even a body of water that dies in one blow…

Of course, even if the level was low, that was just our standard.

‘If it were only Hayeon, it wouldn’t have been this easy.’

My personal opinion was that it wouldn’t have been as easy if the party had only been made up of people whose memories and abilities were sealed.

In addition to the ability, this location was also a major obstacle to fighting.

When you add disgusting corpse-shaped monsters and a gloomy atmosphere, it creates anxiety that wasn’t there before.

As those thoughts entered my mind, I began to have doubts.

‘What on earth is this place for?’

A place you must enter to obtain god-level items.

But for a place like that, it didn’t feel very dangerous.

Of course, if it were made up of only people whose memories and abilities were sealed, it would be a bit of a struggle…

‘It’s not really as dangerous as climbing Yggdrasil…’

No matter how you think about it, it’s not a test to get a god-level item… I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was sloppy.

But unfortunately, my doubts could not be answered here.

‘Well, if you go up, there will be more.’

With that in mind, I focused on preparing for any unexpected situation.

But unfortunately, the concentration I forced myself to muster…

“Ah, it got brighter.”

“I think it’s over now.”

“…”

As I looked at my surroundings becoming brighter, I began to scatter in vain.

But I forced myself to feel the tension again.

‘Just in case you don’t know…’

It was because I was worried that a monster like Cerberus might appear like in the boss fight on the first floor.

In fact, it was closer to anticipation than worry.

Perhaps because it ended so trivially, I hoped to create a situation with added tension.

‘If a deteriorated version like Shockbee comes out, it might be worth it…’

The tension and anticipation that gathered like that…

“Oh! I can’t believe you finished it so quickly! Excellent!”

“…”

It collapsed to pieces with the appearance of the fairy.

.

.

The fairy who appeared like that began to check the number of keys along with congratulations on clearing the boss battle.

Please note that the key was not handed over directly, but was retrieved by the system.

“Okay, then let’s check the key!”

And when the key disappeared, the fairy disappeared along with it, perhaps to check the key.

After retrieving the key, the fairy disappeared for a while…

“We checked the keys of everyone on the first floor! Congratulations on clearing the first floor!”

He handed me another congratulatory message and started running around.

‘Let’s ask quickly.’

I ignored the fairy’s meaningless congratulations and asked the most important thing.

“What is the reward?”

“I already gave it to you!”

The fairy says the same thing again.

But I asked a question with a pinch of persistence.

“Can’t you tell me exactly what it is?”

“It’s beyond my authority!”

“…”

I wanted to grab him by the back of his neck and interrogate him, but I knew it was meaningless, so I decided to give up.

When I quietly retreated, the fairy was satisfied with my appearance and got to the point.

“Now, we’ll send you to the third floor!”

“3rd floor?”

Like the other members, I pretended not to know and asked back.

The fairy seemed to have already expected the question to be asked and gave a vague answer.

“Just think of the 3rd floor as the 2nd floor. “If you ask a question, I won’t be able to answer it anyway, so don’t ask!”

“…”

I can’t answer, so don’t ask questions.

It was a magic sentence that silenced everyone.

When he kept his mouth shut, the fairy continued talking again.

“If you go to the third floor, you will become a team.”

“… Are you saying we are being forced into a party?”

“No! “Team and party are separate things!”

What on earth are you talking about?

Isn’t that what a party or a team is?

“As you move up, you will naturally learn the difference between a team and a party. Then… Adios!”

“What!? Is that the end? Let’s sleep… !”

It was so absurd that the moment I tried to snatch the fairy by the scruff of the neck, the surroundings were covered in a light strong enough to blind me.

With the addition of another photosensitivity syndrome stack, the light began to disappear.

The place where the light is taken away is…

“Parlor… Is it?”

It was an excellent room that did not feel awkward even if it was labeled as ‘lavish’, ‘huge’, or ‘extravagant’.

After looking around the room, we immediately realized what this room was for.

“Well, of course… It looks like this is our accommodation.”

“Yes, I think so. First… “It will be convenient because I don’t have to go around looking for accommodation.”

I looked at the members who arrived together and asked.

“Shall we look around first?”

“Yes.”

So I started looking around the room with the three women.

The guest room was not just one room.

We arrived at a huge living room and there were six rooms centered around it.

For reference, the six rooms were just as big as the living room.

Everyone looked around the room, laughing and expressing their worries.

“Wow, the bed here is really soft.”

“It’s good, but… How much does this room cost? .”

“Just by looking at it, it looks expensive. If it doesn’t work out, you can also ask to change rooms…”

Better rooms meant higher lodging costs.

Everyone was worried about that.

And I was also most worried about that part.

If this mini Yggdrasil is a miniature version of the Yggdrasil that exists in reality, there is a high possibility that it will also inherit the characteristics of the third floor.

Letitia, a city of pleasure that exists on the third floor.

Any place modeled after that city will definitely command a huge amount of points.

‘It’s a big problem if you get ripped off, so let’s check the cost first…’

The best way is to call a fairy, but judging from his attitude earlier, it doesn’t look like the fairy will come.

‘Let’s ask the staff first.’

Thinking like that, I grabbed the main door handle of the room and turned it.

But what came back to me when I turned the doorknob was not the scenery outside the room…

“… “I feel like I’ve already been ripped off.”

〈Please select a location to move to.〉

〈1. Dungeon (consumes 10,000 points) 〉

〈2. Casino (consume 10,000 points) 〉

〈3. Colosseum (10,000 points consumed) 〉

…

…

It was a shitty choice.
