Chapter 8 – Investigation (1)
When early morning came, my eyes automatically opened.
Longer than the five years of military service, it made me a child who wakes up early in the morning.
I automatically stretched.
And then I felt an unknown sensation in my hand that I had never felt before, and the moment I looked away, I made the mistake of touching a woman’s breast, something that would happen in a romantic comedy.
Ellie was standing next to the bed as if she was waiting for me to wake up, and when I stretched her and put her arms to the side, I think I touched her breasts.
Ellie’s breasts were like cushions softer than anything in the world… That’s not the problem.
I think I was dazed for about a second without realizing it.
“Oh! Sorry Ellie.”
I hastily took her hand away and apologized to Ellie.
But Ellie stood still as if nothing had happened.
“You don’t have to apologize. Did you ever want to touch me? You can always tell me if you want.”
I was half asleep so I forgot, but Ellie was in this state.
“No, don’t be like that. I know that Ellie worships me a lot because she owes me a favor, but if I ask too much, I have to refuse.”
Of course, I have no intention of making such a request.
“Um… Yeah, okay, but I’m really okay with it.”
I woke up and saw Ellie.
His basic appearance was so outstanding that he looked like an angel, even though he was wearing my patchy clothes.
Elion’s character has her basic appearance fixed.
For example, if she chooses to be a prosecutor, she has the default adult appearance and body type.
It was impossible to change this person into an elementary school child or a much older person.
It is a system where one job is divided into men and women, and you can customize your basic appearance little by little or purchase a cash avatar to decorate yourself.
Among them, the Paladin character had a well-designed basic appearance that was recognized by most users.
There was also a Cash avatar, but I really liked the default look.
But that is now being implemented in reality.
I don’t know if she washed it early in the morning, but her pink hair was silky and silky, and she couldn’t have used any makeup here, but her facial features were more distinct than those of ordinary women, and her eyes and nose were arranged in a balanced manner to suit a beautiful woman.
And her breasts were incredibly big.
Because of the patchy appearance, the breasts are protruding to the point where it looks rather fat.
In reality, she had a small waist to match her large breasts.
As soon as I saw its appearance, I immediately named it Pingchaengchulong.
Fortunately, Ellie doesn’t seem to know the meaning of this name.
“Did you get up and wash first?”
“Yes, I washed first to help Jinunim wash it.”
“There’s no need for that. Can you get ready to go to the adventurer’s guild while I take a shower?”
“Yes. Then I will prepare first.”
I went to the well outside, washed quickly in case Ellie was waiting, and went up to my room.
When she entered the room, Ellie was already fully dressed in her armor.
It seems like everything was prepared in that short amount of time.
“Looks like we’re already ready. Like I said yesterday, let’s go to the adventurer’s guild and get the quest first.”
We left the accommodation and headed to the adventurer’s guild.
If you saw the fuss Ellie made yesterday, she probably wouldn’t have anyone to start a fight with, but she just hopes there aren’t any.
The adventurer’s guild door opened and everyone’s eyes focused on us.
But soon everyone seems to turn their heads as if they are not interested.
Maybe Ellie’s extreme show yesterday had a more positive effect than I thought.
It may be that the guys who knew me originally prevented me from having to fight in advance.
Ellie and I went straight to the quest board and checked for quests worth doing.
“Let’s choose one of the F-class quests that we can do at the same time. We can choose between gathering and killing monsters that live nearby.”
“How about something like this?”
Ellie, who was looking at the bulletin board, selected a few quests.
The things I chose were collecting the herb Jamil and catching a pack of wolves.
Looking at the location, I think I can move past where I killed the group of orcs yesterday.
“Oh, this would be nice. You chose it well. How did you know that you could go there yesterday? You probably don’t know the geography of here yet.”
“For some reason, it seemed like that. This is all thanks to Jinu’s power.”
No. As I trained Ellie, did I also raise her intelligence stat?
I think Paladin needed to focus on strength.
“That’s not going to happen. All right, let’s do this.”
We took the quest paper and went to Cheonggu.
“Hello, Mari, I’d like to apply for a quest.”
“Ah, hello. This is my first time seeing Jinu apply for a quest.”
Of course, I registered as an F-class adventurer, but I have never applied for a quest myself.
To maintain your adventurer level, you must complete quests appropriate to your level within a set period of time.
Otherwise, you will receive up to two warnings and your grade will be downgraded after that.
This is a real loss. It is a system where you have to take a promotion test and pay a test fee to raise your grade.
However, as the level increases, this cost increases exponentially.
High-level adventurers are inconvenienced because if they are demoted for no reason, they lose their exam fee and have to complete only quests lower than their original level while they are demoted.
But I am a proud F-class adventurer! There is no longer a grade to be demoted.
Still, I couldn’t help but work as a porter for F- or D-class parties.
“Yes. I’m planning to form a party with Ellie.”
“With that person… That person would be enough.”
Ms. Marie approved her quest request, and she left the guild and went out to prepare some simple food first.
“Ellie, can you use the inventory?”
“Inventory… You mean? What is that?”
Huh? You don’t know your inventory?
“When I was in your world, there would have been something like a space to put equipment or supplies.”
“I’m sorry, Jinu. We’ve never used anything like that.”
“I see, that’s a bit of a shame. If I had been able to use it, it would have been a lot easier.”
Unfortunately, it seems that the inventory function used in the game was not present in Ellie’s world.
Is it because it’s not a complete game world?
If it could be used, it would have been a dog scam.
Whether you go out on a quest alone or with a party, you don’t need to carry any luggage with you, and it will be incredibly convenient to put the valuable items you get there in your inventory.
Feeling disappointed, I packed my bag with food to eat on the way and other necessary items in case I might stay out.
“Wow! Still, it’s lighter than usual because I only carried two people.”
I lifted my bag and threw it away.
“Wait. Jinu, I will carry it. Give it to me.”
When I carried the bag, Ellie came up to me in surprise.
“No. I can’t help in the fight at all right now, but I have this and I want you, Ellie, to focus on the fight.”
“But…”
“I know roughly what you think of me, but we need to properly divide up roles. I also feel sorry for you for just sitting around and playing around.”
“If Jinu says so, I can’t help it…”
I wondered what Ellie would do if I told her that she would be there for me until the end, but luckily she understood what I was saying.
We headed to the village entrance to do the quest.
“I’m leaving today as well. I heard a rumor yesterday. That girl half-killed Gareth? LOL.”
The guard I saw yesterday was still guarding the entrance to the village today.
“Haha. It just happened to be like that.”
“Jinuni, this guy. I don’t know where you got it, but you won’t find a girl like this anywhere, so catch her!”
The guard probably misunderstood between Ellie and me.
“Ellie and I are not in that kind of relationship. We are going to party together from now on.”
“When a man and a woman spend time together, she might feel that way. Just do your best!”
You are definitely misunderstanding!
“For Jinunim and I to have such a relationship, I couldn’t even repay all the grace she gave me.”
Huh?
What you’re saying is that if you repay everything, you’re going to have that kind of relationship?
“Anyway, we’re going out. Good luck.”
“Okay, okay, be careful!”
We passed through the village entrance and entered the forest.
“There were some people who were more normal than I thought.”
When there were no people around, Ellie said to me.
“It looks like Ellie wasn’t there until yesterday.”
“Yes. I thought there were only trash with knotholes who couldn’t recognize Jinu’s greatness.”
Was it that much? Apart from Gareth, I didn’t think there was anyone who really liked me.
“But it wouldn’t be right if we could recognize that Jinu and I have a deep relationship.”
“By a deep relationship, do you mean a relationship that leads to power?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Ah, it seems like Ellie misunderstood that deep relationship as something other than a loving relationship.
“Well, that’s true. Then, let’s go do today’s work first. First, let’s look for any clues related to the summoning skill at the place where we caught the orc yesterday.”
The place where the herb jamil mainly grows must be deeper into the forest than the place yesterday.
Also, there will be a pack of wolves wandering around.
“Yes. I hope we can find a clue to summon her today. Her older sisters or younger siblings will want to meet Jinu as soon as possible.”
“That’s right. I’m curious too.”
It will probably never happen again to meet the game character I grew up with.
I also wanted to see a character that used to simply move through my manipulations breathe like Ellie and move according to her own thoughts.
I think I’ve been playing Elion for about 13 years. In the meantime, there were times when I could barely log in due to the military, which is inevitable for Korean men, and when the damn management made a crazy patch and the users were cut in half, there was also a time when my skill level increased and I folded along with them.
However, when a person’s ability rises, it returns and falls again.
Once a person becomes accustomed to one game, it is not easy to move on to another game, and I was the same.
I think I’ve been playing Elion ever since I came back.
What about other characters…
I hope you get a clue about the conditions for summoning something today.
