Chapter 987 – 987. Yggdrasil (7)
Not only Midwinter, who entered first, but also I, who entered late, absentmindedly checked the message.
〈(n/3) tents will be provided depending on the number of people (n) entering.〉
〈Food for (n/3) people will be provided depending on the number of visitors (n).〉
〈The safe zone will be maintained for (9/n) hours depending on the number of people (n) entering.〉
〈Only natural numbers are accepted as determined numbers.〉
Along with the message, a prefabricated tent and a bag believed to contain one person’s worth of food were created in front of us.
It is not enough.
It was an absurdly insufficient number.
But…
“I’m glad they gave me this.”
We were currently in no position to distinguish between cold and hot water.
I spoke to Namgung Yuha, who came in late.
“Yuha, let me explain the situation.”
“No. “I know.”
“?”
When I put a question mark, Midwinter, who was next to me, also put a question mark and asked.
“That… “I can’t see, how do you know?”
Midwinter has been cold to Namgung Yuha until now.
However, even in the middle of winter, at moments like this, he noticed and spoke a gentle voice.
Namgung Yuha, who heard Midwinter’s question, smiled and answered as if it was not rude at all.
“I hear this important message in my head.”
“Aha…”
The reason why Namgung Yuha likes Yggdrasil differently than other people.
That was a friendly explanation.
“Starting from product descriptions to important messages… “They kindly tell us everything.”
“Oh, oh…”
A system unimaginable in Moorim.
And it was also the first time I knew that fact.
“But… If I don’t tell you, climbing will be difficult.”
“He’s kind in a strange way.”
That’s how Midwinter and I were able to solve one curiosity.
However, solving curiosity did not solve what happened right before our eyes.
Namgung Yuha looked at me and Midwinter as she nodded and spoke hurriedly.
“I think it would be better to pitch a tent first and rest.”
“Ah! “Of course.”
From the moment we entered the safe zone, time began to pass in the sky.
〈Time Remaining 2:58〉
The time we can rest comfortably is 3 hours.
In fact, even if the safe zone disappears after 3 hours, you can just rest there.
Just because it was inside the safe zone didn’t mean it wasn’t windy or warm.
The only difference from the outside…
“Still, it’s nice to have a clear view.”
The fact was that the field of view was so wide that the inside of the safe zone could be seen at a glance.
I don’t know about Namgung Yuha, but Midwinter and I were able to feel mental stability just by being inside the safe zone.
However, that sense of stability disappeared the moment the tent was used.
“And… This is so…”
“… It’s small.”
Haha…”
The tent was strictly for one person.
Okay… If three people try to force their way in, they will be able to do so.
However, the moment you enter, the tent will no longer function as a tent.
I spoke to Midwinter right next to me.
“Go in and rest.”
“Me, just me… ?”
Midwinter came out shivering and looked at Namgung Yuha.
I spoke as if scolding Midwinter for making such a comment.
“Get in quickly.”
“Ah… Okay.”
Midwinter hurriedly crawled into the tent.
And as soon as I entered, I breathed a sigh of relief and said.
“Haaaaa… I think I’ll buy it.”
Fortunately, the tent seemed to have some heating function.
I felt like I wouldn’t have to worry about the midwinter chill while I was here.
I immediately cast fire magic and approached the tent.
As the heating of the tent and the heat from my fire magic increased…
“Oooooh! Crazy!!”
Midwinter’s voice fluttered like a live fish.
Above all, the chill accumulated in the middle of winter began to gradually decrease.
‘It’s not a noticeable reduction, but I think I can get rid of it all within 3 hours.’
While I was so relieved…
“Ha…”
The voice, which was like a live fish in the middle of winter, soon died.
“Excuse me… If I were alone here, it would be…”
It’s a strange situation that I don’t feel guilty.
Only the weakest one entered the tent, and Namgung Yuha and I were basking in the cold.
But now was not the time to worry about such things.
“Before you think about such things, lie down quickly and go to sleep.”
“That’s right. “Get as much rest as possible.”
After hearing my criticism and Namgung Yuha’s advice, Midwinter sighed heavily as if she had given up.
“I’ll sleep and wake up as soon as my condition gets better.”
Midwinter said that and lay down rustling inside the tent.
After checking the midwinter conditions, I looked around.
‘… It’s very spacious.’
The safe zone was unreasonably wide for three people.
It was large enough to be turned into a campsite that could accommodate about 200 people.
Namgung Yuha looked at my expression closely, then whispered in my ear and asked.
“How wide is the safe zone?”
“Hmm… It is spacious enough to accommodate over 200 people.”
“…”
Namgung Yuha looks around Balcheonboro in silence.
Namgung Yuha looked around and muttered to himself.
“It’s a space that can accommodate a lot of people…”
“…”
Thanks to Namgung Yuha’s self-talk, I was able to realize a few things.
‘(N/3) doesn’t seem to match the number of people who entered the Mountain of Darkness.’
At first, I thought that since six people came in, they were divided into thirds accordingly.
But if you think about it, there was no reason to use that notation.
Just indicate in the message that a tent and one food item will be provided to each team.
In other words, the meaning of this notation is…
“The people who came in before… Unlike us, there must have been quite a few fights.”
It was a means to encourage discord among the summoners who entered.
A safe zone arrived at the end of the boss rush.
Our group arrived safely and quickly.
However, other summoners who came in before that would definitely have died.
And because of the trouble, there would have been fights from time to time, which would have caused a long delay in arrival time.
‘It took us about 8 hours, so if it was another summoner, it would have taken 16 hours… No, in the worst case scenario, it might have arrived a day later.’
I just imagined it, but a world of hell unfolded in my head.
And Namgung Yuha, who, like me, had a picture of hell in his head, continued to look around with a bitter expression.
“As for Min Ha-yeon… Is it okay?”
Namgung Yuha’s worries.
“… It’ll be okay. “Don’t worry too much.”
Although I reassured them, I was also worried about Min Ha-yeon and her group.
‘Armonia, how about over there?’
Min Ha-yeon and her group would have arrived in the safe zone just like us.
And I believed.
If it were three people, they would give in to each other and…
[They are fighting each other.]
‘… What?’
… It seemed like he couldn’t get by.
Surprised by the unexpected answer, I urgently asked Armonia.
‘Why? What’s the matter? Did you really fight?’
[It’s been going well so far, but now I’m fighting for the first time.]
‘Why are we fighting?’
Are we really fighting over tents and food?
I couldn’t picture the scene of the three people fighting.
But fortunately, it wasn’t the fight I thought it would be.
[We arrived before Suho, but we have been fighting for 10 minutes to give up the tent and food.]
‘…’
Only then did the scene of the three people fighting begin to appear in my mind.
I said with a sigh of relief.
‘If you think we’re going to keep fighting like that, let me know. At that time, I will force you to decide.’
Even concessions must be made in moderation.
Excessive concessions actually bring about losses to everyone.
The moment I said that while worrying about the three people…
[The decision has been made.]
‘Oh… Did you decide to take turns sleeping?’
The most reasonable choice.
However, as if my expectations were ridiculous, the choices of the three people left me dumbfounded.
[The three decided to go in together and sleep.]
‘In that tent… ?’
I checked the tent where Midwinter was sleeping.
A small tent for one person.
It was big enough for three women to fit in if they tried to force it.
But…
‘… Can you sleep?’
No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think I could sleep.
No, sleeping wasn’t the problem; resting seemed impossible.
‘Is this possible because women have small bodies? Also, Bom has a smaller body type.’
As I looked at the tent like that, I imagined Min Ha-yeon, mid-spring, and mid-autumn all coming together.
But surprisingly, when I imagined it like that…
‘If you just take off your pants and go in…’
I imagined three women taking off their bottoms and exposing their pussies toward the entrance of the tent.
Kang Han Na heard what I said…
[… One imagination is amazing.]
He praised my imagination.
[Don’t laugh. Because it’s not a compliment.]
‘…’
Wow, so embarrassing…
I pouted my lips and checked for Namgung Yuha.
Namgung Yuha, who had been looking around Balcheonbo Road just a moment ago, realized that it was an empty field and sat calmly in front of the fireball I had created.
Then he smiled with a yellow light on his face.
“Mr. Suho… There’s really nothing I can’t do. He is excellent at martial arts and even uses magic…”
“Haha…”
Namgung Yuha’s praise was sincere.
And along with sincerity, there was also envy.
“It would have been helpful if I had learned it earlier…”
I promised to teach Namgung Yuha about her new laws and magic.
Originally, I was planning on entering the Mountain of Darkness and letting you know when I had time…
“Don’t be too hasty.”
No matter how much I thought about it, now was not the time to teach Namgung Yuha martial arts or magic.
First of all, survive.
“If I find a good safe zone as I proceed, I will let you know then.”
She decided that it would not be too late to teach her when she could afford it.
Namgung Yuha smiled brightly after hearing what I said.
“Yes, please do whatever is convenient for you.”
In fact, Namgung Yuha is smiling, but her heart is probably burning in her heart.
It’s not just about learning one more martial art.
A situation that could break down several obstacles that had been standing in front of her all her life.
How many people can relax in such a situation?
She probably would have been impatient and begged me to teach her if it were me.
I once again smiled, admiring Namgung Yuha’s calmness.
But as soon as I smiled…
“Ah…”
“?”
Namgung Yuha was looking somewhere with a puzzled expression.
I followed Namgung Yuha’s gaze, and at the end of that gaze…
“… You seem to be having an interesting conversation.”
There was a face in the middle of winter poking its head out of the tent.
“What do you do when you’re not sleeping?”
“… “Are you trying to make fun of me?”
“Ah…”
At first, I thought he was just trying to interrupt the conversation between me and Namgung Yuha, but…
“I’m sorry for making you noisy.”
In the middle of winter, it seemed like I couldn’t fall asleep properly because of our conversation.
After hearing Namgung Yuha’s apology, Midwinter burst out laughing.
“Don’t apologize. Anyone who sees it will think that the two of you made a big mistake.”
I said this while looking at that midwinter scene.
“I’ll be quiet from now on. “Go in and sleep.”
“… “Have you thought about it carefully since a while ago?”
“What are you thinking?”
Midwinter looked closely at me and Namgung Yuha and confessed her inner thoughts.
“Why don’t you three just sleep together?”
“… “What?”
It seemed similar to thinking that he and Min Ha-yeon had been together their whole lives.
“That’s not possible.”
“Suho is right.”
Namgung Yuha and I were naturally reluctant and tried to refuse…
“If you don’t come in, I’ll leave.”
Midwinter left the tent and persuaded Namgung Yuha and me.
After arguing with Midwinter for a while, Namgoong Yuha and I ended up…
“Whoa… Good. “I’ll go in.”
“Okay.”
I decided to squeeze into the tent.
As for the position, Midwinter was in the middle, and Namgung Yuha and I went in on the left and right.
It was a position that was naturally suited to both men and women because it was very cold in the middle of winter.
‘You’ll regret it right away.’
As soon as I entered, I thought I would immediately regret it in the middle of winter.
But the tent I entered with such a whimper was surprisingly…
‘… ‘I guess I can sleep?’
The bed itself seemed to be no problem.
Midwinter giggled and laughed at me as if she had read my thoughts.
“How is it? “It’s better than I thought, right?”
I looked at Midwinter and nodded at her.
“… That’s right.”
“Eww…”
Midwinter hastily lowering your head.
It was simple for Midwinter to show this attitude.
‘I almost kissed you.’
It wasn’t a joke, it was so close that they could touch just by moving their lips.
But now was not the time to discuss such matters.
“Please rest well for this.”
“Yes.”
“Oh, okay.”
As soon as they answered, the two closed their eyes.
I also closed my eyes while looking at the two people.
And then…
‘It just worked out well.’
I smiled inside.
It was a moment where I could finally satisfy my curiosity that I had been curious about for a long time.
I spoke to Armonia with my eyes closed.
‘Armonia, I’m going to sleep. Wake me up if anything happens.’
[All right. Whose dream are you planning to enter?]
I closed my eyes and smiled as I felt something writhing right in front of me.
‘I need to find out what the trauma of midwinter is.’
