Chapter 193 – 193. Still Living
193. I still live
“Hello…”
“Good morning~.”
Marie and I came out to the lobby to have breakfast at the hotel. I sat in a chair and waited for a while when I saw Eunbyeol trudge toward me.
She’s got her eyes wide open somewhere. I swallowed a smile and said goodbye to Eunbyeol.
“Hey, isn’t your complexion a little off? Did you stay up all night?”
“… I slept soundly.”
“Heh, is it? So, is it because you trained so hard yesterday?”
I subtly took a look at Eunbyeol. She acts like nothing happened. Marie walked forward without much thought and headed for the elevator.
“Let’s go! Hungry!”
“Yes.”
We followed Marie to the hotel restaurant. The hotel breakfast was buffet style.
“Hehe, what shall we eat?”
Buffet with simple food like breakfast. I brought a lot of bacon, fried eggs, and ham on the tray.
“Is it delicious?”
For an expensive place, it was pretty tasty. Of course, the value for money was shit. But it doesn’t really matter because Marie gives the money anyway.
Eunbyeol bit off some bacon. Seeing her, her Marie handed her one of her drinks, she said.
“Have you no appetite? If you want to work hard today, you must eat a lot.”
“Yes? No just… I feel bad…”
“Lunch is a boxed lunch. You should eat a lot for breakfast.”
Eunbyeol looking around. She glanced at her for a second, then spoke softly to Marie.
“Excuse me… Sister.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I’m asking just in case… By any chance, that guy and he, are, dating, or something like that… ?”
Eunbyul asked with a hopeless expression. Eunbyeol was very nervous, swallowing her saliva and waiting for Mari’s answer.
“Huh? Are you dating? Hyun and me?”
“Yes…”
“Huh, so… I’m not dating…”
Marie began to ponder as she slurred her words. She seems confused about how to define her relationship with me.
Marie was a pure virgin who didn’t even know what her masturbation was until a few months ago. Even now that she learned about sex, she didn’t know much about sex or men’s issues.
“So, what did you say about this relationship? Friend?”
“A partner.”
“Right, partner. Hyun and I are just partners.”
“A partner… ? What the heck…”
What is it, of course it’s a sex partner. I swallowed a laugh and acted out a natural expression. I’ve been making jokes lately, so this was a piece of cake.
Eunbyul tilted her head. I interrupted the conversation before Marie could explain further.
“It’s nothing. It’s just a relationship where we help each other. Right?”
“Is that so?”
“That’s it.”
Eunbyeol put on an embarrassed expression. I smirked and stared at her breasts blatantly. Eunbyul frowning on her face after being raped in my gaze. I said, touching her Eunbyeol’s leg with her foot.
“Nuna, then what do you think Eunbyul and I have to do with each other?”
“Huh? Eunbyeol with you? Aren’t we friends?”
“It’s embarrassing to say we’re just friends.”
“What, then… Are you two dating?”
Marie asks, widening her eyes. Eunbyul, who was listening to our conversation, blushed and screamed at her.
“Right~.”
“I-Absolutely not!”
“Okay?”
Marie insults Eunbyul with a smirk. Unable to say anything, Eunbyeol shook her head as her face blushed.
I was by my side helping Marie and teasing Eunbyeol. Maybe because Eunbyeol was in front of her, she couldn’t say anything to me and she was constantly teased.
In the morning, Eunbyeol finished teasing her and left her restaurant. I will fill my stomach. It was time to go back to training.
“Do you remember what we learned yesterday?”
“Yes.”
I went back to the monkey fort. I sneakily asked Marie.
“What did you teach me yesterday?”
“It’s just about practicing mana distribution?”
I didn’t teach you anything. I thought you taught me something great.
It wasn’t a bad workout, though. It is best to learn the distribution of mana through actual combat. If Mari’s feedback is combined with actual combat, pretty good results will come out.
If there’s a problem, it’s that it’s a real battle, so her life could be in danger, but since Marie even lent her an artifact to protect her, there should be no problem.
We went looking for pebbles like yesterday. And I spent the morning watching Eunbyeol and Dolsungi fight.
Lunch was packed with pre-packed lunches. Even if you use mana, the body moves in the end. I don’t know if it’s a magician who really stands still and only moves magic, but warriors like us need to consume enough calories.
“Aren’t you bored?”
“Looks like I’m a bit bored.
While I was eating, Marie asked me that. Since I was doing nothing at the moment and just watching, I think I might be bored.
I was actually a bit bored. It was only once or twice that Eunbyeol peeped at her ass and breasts, but I got tired of looking at her. I keep having an erection and feel uncomfortable. Maybe it’s because it’s inside the dungeon, so the data doesn’t work.
“Where do A-class monsters come from?”
“He sounds dangerous.”
I want to loosen up a bit too.
In that sense, while I was grumbling that it would be nice if an A-rank monster came out, Marie began to bruise me. That’s the case, from A rank onwards, they are classified as raid monsters. In short, even if you are an A-class hunter, it is crazy to try to catch an A-class monster by yourself.
Of course, the definition of an A-class hunter is ‘a hunter who can catch an A-class monster one-on-one’, but it was still dangerous to be dangerous. First of all, being able to catch it was not synonymous with being able to hit it overwhelmingly, and it was because it was difficult to predict what abilities an A-level guy would have.
If you meet someone you don’t match well with, or suddenly meet a mutant individual with skills, you’ll die that day. Since the precious life of an A-rank would be lost, Mari had no choice but to be careful.
“Because if you get an A rank, you’ll just bounce right away. Shouldn’t you mess around?”
“Yes~.”
I nodded. I, too, was only talking about it, but I had no intention of actually dealing with an A-class monster. Yesterday I was messing around and almost fell for a stone pup, but can I still want to fight against an A-class? I was thinking of hunting A-class monsters after I acquired S-class skills or acquired a lot of A-class skills and became a free-spirited munchkin.
Mari gave me another warning to see if I was unreliable and ate again. After she ate, she gave light feedback to Eunbyeol and went back to looking for Dolsong.
Again, Eunbyeol had a real fight with the Dolsungies, and I watched Eunbyeol fight while scratching my dick from behind.
After the battle, I picked up the fallen magic stone. It was a bit of a waste to throw away the stones that could cost well over 100,000 each. I’ll use my pocket money later.
It’s still a pick-up tomorrow, but I’m going to fuck with the gacha.
“You’re not going to eat that alone, are you?”
“Huh? Why, why?”
“Haa… The porters were stealing magic stones. Somehow, he cursed at me like that, so it was just what he was doing.”
“Uh huh! What’s that weird? Of course I’m nbang, do I look like someone who will gulp alone?”
“Yes.”
Seeing me like that, Eunbyeol looks at me as if she is pitiful.
I got a little stung and raised my voice. Eunbyeol didn’t believe it at all.
Eunbyul shook her head and sat down on the floor to catch her breath. It seems she needs time to recover her magic. To be precise, she has mental strength to use magical powers.
Magic power is infinite. This is because magic power is spread evenly throughout this world, just like air. No, it is much denser than air, and it is densely spread out. Air can be made into a vacuum, but magic cannot completely erase its existence in a specific space unless a very special method is used.
However, the mana that humans can handle is limited. This is because humans need the power of the soul to handle mana.
Just as air is sucked through the lungs, humans can absorb mana through the soul, color the soul, place it under the control of the heart, and transform it into various powers. Naturally, such a process accumulated fatigue in the soul, and the more magical power was used, the more the available magical power inevitably decreased.
“Geuk, is it too much to deal with only Dolsong?”
“…It’s noisy.”
But that’s only when it’s used beyond the limit. Just as we don’t get tired from breathing normally, the act of manipulating mana below the limit does not accumulate any fatigue in the soul. In a word, if you follow the line, you can draw magic power indefinitely.
In a word, the reason Eunbyeol is resting right now is because she overreacted to draw out her magic to deal with Dolsungi. I took it and pissed off Eunbyeol.
Eunbyul turns her head and glares at me. It seemed that she didn’t like being left behind.
Of course, I had no intention of seeing it that way. He stroked the sitting Eunbyeol’s head and raised his voice even more.
“Keuk, can you beat me with that?”
“Clean your hands.”
Marie smirked when she saw us bickering. It feels like seeing siblings who get along well. To Marie, who doesn’t know what’s going on inside, it looks like we’re fighting for love.
Eunbyeol would want to tear me to pieces.
After a moderate rest, I started training again. And just like yesterday, after having dinner and receiving feedback, we practiced until the night before going into our respective rooms.
“Haugh, haaang! I feel good…!”
Of course, today I went to Marie’s room and slept.
Even today, I feel someone standing outside the door.
