Chapter 79 – Rest (4)
After I finished eating and finished cleaning up, I asked Lilith while fiddling with my new body checker.
“So, you said it’s a new model, what’s the difference?”
It looks the same.
It was a new body checker and I tried it on with the one I received, but it didn’t feel anything special, so I asked about it and Lilith said.
“Unlike the existing one, this item has location tracking magic and additional barrier magic. The original one had a lot of shortcomings, but should I say that it has been improved?”
“Oh…”
Even if I hear it, I don’t really understand it.
“Well, it might be faster to see it in person.”
After saying that, Lilith snapped her fingers.
Wow, I said.
It was immediately after that that I heard a cracking sound, sending goosebumps down my spine.
“Uh…”
With a crackling sound, I saw that the barrier or curtain spreading around me was dented.
“The existing body checker only opens the barrier when the dispenser is about to collapse after being squeezed, but it also opens the barrier in other situations. This means that it protects to some extent against almost all types of attacks on the Dispenser’s person. The strength of the barrier is also twice as good as the previous one. Since it also has location tracking magic, it can be considered to be several times better than the existing one in terms of protecting the dispenser. “I’m not going into the spiritual world because it’s expensive, but you shouldn’t have any problems with that…”
Lilith, who drank her beer in one gulp, continued speaking.
“As you can see, even though I didn’t apply much force, it won’t be destroyed by my attack. In most cases, it can be said that there is no longer any chance of injury due to the barrier being broken. At least if your body checker had been like this from the beginning, you wouldn’t have had your leg broken by that damn goat.”
“Oh oh…”
This time I could barely understand.
In short, it’s gotten so much better.
“Instead, since output is output, there is a disadvantage of having to replace the mana stones periodically. “That’s not a big drawback compared to the performance.”
“Wait. “Do you need to replace the mana stone?”
“Yeah, about once a month. At the very least, you need to exchange it for a low-grade mana stone.”
Lesser Mana Stone…
In this world, when ore was imbued with mana, it was called a mana stone.
And such magic stones were used for magic samples, magic tools, construction, industry, etc.
Minerals containing mana were useful in many ways.
Naturally, mana stones were not that cheap.
But once a month, you have to use a low-level mana stone that is not even the lowest level, but the higher level…?
If you do a quick search on your smartphone, you’ll find that low-level mana stones cost well over 1 million won each.
“No, the shortcomings are really big.”
“It’s better than getting kidnapped by some strange bitch or dying, right?”
That’s true, though.
1 million won per month.
It wasn’t a very burdensome price considering my current income, but it wasn’t an unreasonable price either.
Although the price of life was cheap.
“Don’t worry too much. It hasn’t been announced yet, but there will soon be legislation to provide benefits to dispensers in this regard. It might not be of much help since I’ve always been so petty about my budget. “I also just picked up something that was left lying around.”
Lilith grumbled like that.
Thanks to this, I was able to find out that this body checker that Lilith had brought as a prototype was something that Lilith had stolen from somewhere.
“Uh… Are you still okay?”
“What can’t be done? It’s better than making something and then leaving it aside, thinking about equity, budget, etc. In the first place, it doesn’t make sense for a project of this size to have such a budget, right? Well, since this is half for welfare purposes, there is a lot of money being spent on various things, but it doesn’t make sense to let it go while trying to hit the budget when something happens every time. You also have to take back the body checker you used. “I’d rather…”
A release that seems to have a lot going on.
Couldn’t that also be part of the reason why Lilith doesn’t want to retire?
Will I do the same thing later?
Well, it’s not my job right now, so I decided to do it.
“Well, show it to your wife. “It’s Hanzo.”
“Ah yes.”
When Hoa-ran looked at my body checker and held out his arm, Hoa-ran, who was looking at my body checker, said,
“Indeed, this is something he made.”
“That guy?”
“There are some keuts who like to stay away and make various things.”
“There’s this damn bitch who makes it like that and doesn’t really solve it, but it burns up the budget. “It’s just about making something useful once in a while, but it’s barely enough every time… Even if only half of the budget that went to her came to us…”
Lilith mumbled like that.
Damn bitch?
Come to think of it, didn’t you say something like that last time, during Sati?
I remember that the restraint that Sati was put in was made by someone who Lilith called a damn bitch.
Hoaran knows, Lilith knows, and seeing as she is called a damn bitch, it seems like there must be someone who is a woman.
Apparently, this body checker was also made by him.
Could it be that he is also one of the twenty-two heroes?
Speaking of women, the candidates were narrowed down, but there were so many women that it seemed difficult to guess who they were.
“Anyway, even though I don’t know magic, there are some shortcomings in the use of magic. It would be better to do it this way… Well, it hasn’t been long since I learned about witchcraft, but to have applied it to this level must be amazing. But, it’s not enough… Let’s see…”
Hoa-ran mumbles like that and nibbles at my body checker.
“Look, if we change it this way, won’t the barrier become a little tighter?”
And then, saying that, I really don’t know what’s changed.
“That’s right, it would be much better that way as it would save a lot of mana stones.”
Lilith seems to have figured out what has changed.
Just in case, I focused my eyes on the body checker and saw a flow of energy or mana, but I couldn’t tell what had changed since I hadn’t seen what the previous one was like.
By the way, saving?
“Uh… How much will it save?”
“With this, I only need to change the mana stone about once every two months.”
Oh…
It seemed like the efficiency had doubled.
“Hoaran Maman is renewed…”
“Heung, the real girl is like this.”
As I muttered that, Hoa-ran puffed out his chest and looked triumphant.
Lilith frowned and said to me after seeing Hoa-ran like that.
“No, I brought it, but why are you praising only Hoa-ran?”
“Of course, Lilith’s mother is also amazing.”
I don’t know who they stole it from, but Lilith’s ability to get something like this was amazing.
Considering it’s a prototype, fairness, etc., It looks like they’ve taken something that hasn’t been given to other dispensers yet.
Anyway, it seemed like he was trying to sulk about something trivial, so I said that and only then did I see Lilith with a satisfied expression on her face.
“Anyway, I wear that well. “I know that if you ignore my contact like last time, I will come right away.”
He must have been a little embarrassed, so he cleared his throat loudly and said that to me.
Anyway, it was a really scary thing to say that if you ignore the contact, they will come to you.
“No, it’s something you can forget while working, right?”
“If you don’t want to do that, you should contact me on time.”
It’s annoying…
I couldn’t say anything because I was worried about my body.
I just hope that I don’t miss Lilith’s text or phone call and that she doesn’t come barging in while I’m in the middle of my work.
There would be nothing more terrifying than if Lilith attacked in the middle of the action.
“Oh, by the way, can I come home after dinner tomorrow?”
It suddenly occurred to me that when I said that to my dinner date with Aileya, Lilith and Hoaran looked at me.
“You’re coming after dinner? Alone?”
“If there’s something she wants to eat, she can tell the main woman, right? “You can do almost anything.”
“No, it’s not like that. “Someone asked me to have dinner with them.”
Lilith said with a surprised face at my words.
“Did you have any friends?”
“No. “I also have friends…”
I was moved by Lilith’s words, but when I thought about it, there wasn’t really anything I could call a friend.
The only people I can call acquaintances are those from the same orphanage. It’s been a long time since we stopped contacting him.
There was no way to know whether he was alive or dead, and if he was alive, how he lived now.
My life.
I lived a really rough life.
Even though I couldn’t help it, my life without any friends was truly miserable.
“Anyway, we’re not friends. “Aileya asked me to have dinner with her.”
“Aile?”
Hoaran, who didn’t know Aileya, seemed to be tilting his head at my words.
On the contrary, Lilith, knowing Aileya, frowned at her.
“Ailea… Why does that bitch want to have dinner with you?”
That’s it, I don’t know.
“But isn’t she a bit like that? “Did you just ask me to have dinner with you?”
“Damn, do you think that among the bitches who promise to meet up with the dispenser in private, there is a proper bitch?”
Is that how it works?
It seems like I’m overreacting by just asking them to have dinner together.
Lilith sighed and said, probably not liking my reaction.
“Listen, do you know why dispensers use stage names?”
“Iknow, right?”
I wondered if there was any reason to use a stage name.
I think it would be enough to just write the name.
I was very dissatisfied with being called Strong Dick, a stage name given to me by Lilith.
I don’t like the name Hanzo Kang, but I don’t like strong dick even more.
Anyway, when I answered that way, Lilith said.
“That’s because sometimes there are mistaken bitches. You were like that too, right? “The converse also exists.”
I was like that too, and in reverse…
“Oh, no way…”
“It means that it’s not just the dispensers who are giving the affection. Whether it’s a love affair or something else, the moment personal feelings get involved, things like this get really messy, right? There are bitches who say shit for dating women other than themselves, and there are bitches who mistake dating Dispensers for dating… In the days when there were no stage names, when there were no laws on protecting Dispensers’ information, there must have been a number of bitches who gave shit for that. I think?”
Now that I think about it, I think I’ve heard something like that somewhere.
One of the reasons celebrities and host bar hosts use stage names is to protect their privacy and personal safety.
I don’t know about the former, but I decided to give the latter a try since it has many similarities to the dispenser.
“Anyway, don’t be mistaken. After all, you are just a dispenser and someone who receives money. The dispenser and the customers who use it. Just keep that distance. “I don’t want to get caught by a strange bitch and get stabbed.”
“Yes.”
I also had no intention of getting stabbed while passing by, so I silently nodded at Lilith’s words.
Listening to Lilith’s words, it seemed like it would be better to cancel the dinner date, even if it meant feeling a little sorry for Aileya.
Rather than saying that Aileya will definitely do that, if another after-sales request comes in under this pretext, she will have no reason to refuse.
Then, like Lilith said, I might get caught by some crazy bitch.
“Then wouldn’t it be better to give them something in return? “First of all, you’re breaking your promise.”
“Under? Why? I don’t think that’s necessary. To begin with, that bitch knows everything there is to know… No, that would be better. In your case, it would be better to definitely make a deal and break it off rather than having a vague sense of debt.”
No, what about me?
Anyway, after saying that, Lilith, who was pondering, soon opened her mouth.
“It’s annoying, but why not just give it to me for free and be done with it?”
“No.”
What is that.
“How about something like a sachet? “It’s Hanzo.”
Hoaran recommends a sachet to me as a gift of apology to Aileya. Lilith frowned at Ho Aran’s words and said.
“Sachet? “Who uses such old-fashioned stuff these days?”
“Well, it’s old-fashioned…”
I said when I saw Hoaran who seemed shocked by Lilith’s words.
“Still, the idea is good, but what? “You can use something like perfume instead of a sachet.”
“Perfume… Well, maybe it’s not that bad. “But since she’s also a werebeast, she’ll be quite picky about smells, is that okay?”
“If anything, you can just tell me to choose it myself.”
When I said that, I saw Lilith frowning.
“…What have you been hearing from me so far?”
I spoke urgently when I saw Lilith looking at me and saying that.
“No, I mean, wouldn’t it be okay to ask about the perfume you usually use or your favorite scent and then buy it? “I’m not saying we go together and choose.”
“…I was wondering if you were saying something stupid again.”
It’s too much, really.
There’s no way I could go shopping with Aileya after hearing all that.
At that time, when I felt the hem of my clothes being pulled, I turned around and Hoaran looked at me and said.
“Ha, Hanzo, do you also think the main woman is old-fashioned?”
Was the word ‘old-fashioned’ really that shocking? I said while looking at Hoaran, who still seemed to have not recovered from the shock.
“No, you think it’s a good idea? “In the end, what you chose was perfume, right?”
“Wouldn’t that mean that the sachet you mentioned was old-fashioned?”
Ah.
Is it possible for it to sound like that?
When I said nothing, Hoaran looked at me and said.
“See, she is not a typical girl. “In her world, it was very common to give her sachet as a gift.”
“No, I don’t really care if it’s old-fashioned or anything…”
In fact, I wonder if this is something to worry about that much.
However…
“I suddenly became curious, which of you two is older?”
I saw both Hoaran and Lilith pause at my words.
And Lilith and Hoaran, who were looking at each other, stood up almost at the same time.
“Now that I think about it, the time has already passed. “It would be a good idea to get ready for bed soon.”
“Yeah, I guess I drank too much too, so I’m suddenly sleepy.”
Saying that, the two left in an instant.
“Uh…”
Suddenly left alone, I looked at the two who had left without even answering the question.
Lilith and Hoaran are so different that their personalities and likes can be called polar opposites.
The reason those two became friends couldn’t have been because they were the same age or something, right?
I’m sure it won’t be like that.
No, so how old are you both?
