Necrosex Supporter 52

Chapter 52 – Episode 52. Brother

[The shop has been opened.]

A major update has begun.
I heard it’s coming soon, but I thought it would be already.
Then, it means that the event dungeon will open three days from today.
Time is sooner than I thought.

“Brother? What happen?”

Jiyoon said to me who was staring blankly at the empty space.
Ah, it seems that notices don’t pop up for them.

“Looks like the store is open. Wait a minute, let me check.”

I clicked on the message that popped up in front of me.

[Shop is open! You can enter the store with the keyword ‘go to the store’. Please refrain from using the store during battle or at critical moments. It can leave you defenseless and pose a danger.]

Hmmm, is it a system where you go in and out of the store yourself?
I tried to use the store myself, but I stopped my action because of an additional message that popped up.

[To celebrate the opening of the store, a large-scale event has begun. After 3 days, event dungeons are created for each country…]

The story of the event dungeon is exactly what I heard from Rat Head.
‘Korea’, where I belong, has three dungeons, and the details of the dungeons are the same.
However, there is one additional piece of information that was not heard from the rat head.
It is a place where dungeons are created.

“Hmm, that’s pretty far. Do you think we should move nearby in advance?”

The place where the entrance of the dungeon is generated is a region quite far from where we are now.
In terms of distance, it is about 50 km away.
If you have a car or something, it’s a short distance, but if you walk, it will take quite a while.
It’s not just walking, and you’ll have to move while dealing with the monsters you meet along the way, so it’s never close.

‘Still, it’s a distance you can go by investing a day or so. It’s not because I don’t have stamina. Even just this much, it’s a good thing. If it was created in an area one or two hundred kilometers away, I would have had to leave immediately without being able to rest. ‘

Perhaps the survivors in the provinces will have to leave as soon as they see the message in order to participate in this event dungeon.
It’s fortunate, but… It’s a pity. Now, only Sieun once, Jiyoon once, and Jisoo once.
It’s only been around once, but a large-scale update has already begun.

‘I’m with Jiyoon tonight… I think we’ll have to move at least tomorrow, right? Then, assuming that tomorrow will be blown all day… Then it’s time to raise the stats… Hmm…’

The main stats of Shieun, Jiyoon, and Jisoo have already been raised to about 70.
If you do a lot with Jiyun tonight, you will be able to raise Jiyun’s main stats close to 100.

‘I wanted to make all three average stats around 100, but… That’s a pity. It would have been nice if the big update had started a few days later.’

Currently, I think Sieun, Jisoo, and Jiyoon’s gang stats are higher than anyone else’s.
But just having high stats isn’t everything.
To be honest, when I fought Juniel, even though Juniel’s stats were lower than mine, I was pushed behind.
I’m not worried at all about Jisoo, who goes into the same dungeon as me, or Juniel, who goes alone but has a higher combat experience than anyone else and has excellent stats.
There are two people I’m worried about, Si-eun and Ji-yoon.
I was worried because I had to attack the dungeon by teaming up with the boss, with whom I was not very close.
But what can I do?
I have no choice but to trust and leave it to you.
First of all, I instructed the captain to collect as many goblin poison needles as possible.
In addition, the four women went hunting outside and steadily collected goblin stings.
If you use these things, I think that the man can become a meat shield and save Ji-yoon and Si-eun in the unlikely event of an emergency.
I held Jiyoon tightly in her arms and looked at the messages that kept popping up.

[After 3 days, new monsters will appear from the time the event ends. Stronger and more intelligent monsters will appear, so please prepare thoroughly!!]

After this, there were no more messages coming up.
I thought with a big yawn.

‘Shall we use the store for once? I shouldn’t have to find out how to use it.’

I’m very tired from shaking my waist at Jisoo all night, but I still have to do something and sleep.
Because there isn’t enough time left.

“Go to the store”

When I said the store keyword in a small way, my eyes suddenly turned dark.
Eventually, when my eyes brightened, I immediately noticed that the environment around me had changed.
A small room made entirely of wood.
In the middle of it, I was lying down.
The figure of Jiyoon, who was held in her arms, is nowhere to be seen.
I looked around with a puzzled face, and when I saw a being standing on the other side of the room, I froze.

[Welcome, Mr. Kang Min-goo. Welcome to the ‘shop’.]

A small being standing in the corner of the room.
Shoulder-length green hair, and small green eyes.
The harmony of the eyes, nose, and mouth that are closely gathered on the small white face is so cute.
A small girl, not more than 150 cm tall, wearing a rag-tag shirt and shabby clothes tied tightly around her waist with an old string, was standing there looking at me.

‘Are those… Wings?’

Two pairs of transparent thin wings visible behind her back made it clear that the girl was not human.
I blankly stared at the girl in front of me.
Ha, you’re so cute
Suddenly, the desire to stroke her hair rose up and the moment she raised her hand,

[Go, Kang Min-goo?]

Suddenly awakened by the sound calling me, I hurriedly lowered my hand that I was about to lift and said with a smile.

“Ah yes. Everyone, who are you?”

At my question, a cute girl in shabby clothes nodded and said.

[Oh, hello, Mr. Kang Min-goo. My name is ‘Jun’ and I will be in charge of Kang Min-goo’s store from now on. Please take good care of me.]

What, was the store run like this?
Is each person in charge attached to one?
Besides, such a pretty and cute fairy…
.. I hurriedly shook my head, and ‘Jun’ said while looking at me.

[First of all, I would like to inform you of the precautions before using the store. Did you check that there is no danger around you before accessing the store? If not, please leave as soon as possible and use the store later. While using the store, the body is defenseless, so it can be dangerous.]

I shook my head at Jun’s words and said.

“Ah… No need to worry about that. My body is in a safe state.”

Hearing my words, Jun let out a sigh of relief.

[What a relief. I heard that many customers who use the store often get killed while using the store. Customer Kang Min-goo is my first customer, so I hope you don’t lose your life in vain. Please continue to use the store in a safe environment.]
“All right. If I say that my body is defenseless… Is it just my mind that has flown to this place called this store?”
[Yes, that’s right. Currently, Kang Min-goo’s body is in the same state as when he was sleeping. It will be comfortable if you think of it as using the store in a dream-like form.]

Huh? What. So you’re saying my body is resting, right?
When I asked, Jun nodded his head and answered.

[You’re right. Kang Min-goo’s body is resting. You don’t have to worry about mental fatigue. As I said before, this situation is similar to having a dream.]
“Oh, I see. Then, what is the ratio between time here and time in reality? One hour here equals one minute outside.. Is there such a thing?”

Jun shook his head at my words.

[It’s not like that. Time here and time in reality pass the same way. So if you want to shop, I recommend you to do it quickly and go home. No matter how safe the body is, you never know what kind of unexpected situation will occur.]

Well.
Even if I don’t know what kind of unexpected situation will happen, my body is in the cradle of rest that can be said to be the safest in the world.

[So, let me quickly explain the store. First of all-]
“It’s okay if you don’t have to explain so quickly. It was time to sleep anyway. I don’t intend to go back quickly, so it’s okay if I explain slowly.”

Rather restless at my words, Jun speaks to me.

[I-I heard that there are a lot of people who get killed for being so confident. You can’t lose a customer like that. So don’t think about staying for a long time and go back quickly, okay?]

What can happen if you lose a customer in charge?
Seeing such a cute girl helpless and restless, the thought of wanting to bully her for no reason comes to mind.
Hmmm, I’m not normal either.
I murmured softly with a relaxed face.

“No, what.. You say that much… You don’t want to go any more? Would you like to rest here at all?”

Hearing my murmur, Jun’s face turned white.

[Go, Kang Min-gu customer! You can’t do that. Is it really dangerous? I heard that there are a lot of users who die while guaranteeing their own safety. If you die from the beginning while acting like that…!]
“Oh my gosh, it’s okay. Where I am is a very safe place-“
[Customer Kang Min-goo!!!]

A little girl squealing and screaming.
Tears are welling up in your eyes
Uh… I’m a little sorry.

[Well, it’s not something to take lightly, is it? If you keep thinking like that, you will die really quickly. If Kang Min-goo dies, I… I…!!]

It’s a little touching that you’re so worried about me when you’re seeing me for the first time, isn’t it?
Jun squeezed his small hands tightly and shouted out.

[Your income will be cut off as it is!!]

… Ah, income is cut off.
Jun, who didn’t care what I was looking at with a puzzled face, continued shouting.

[Do you know how much I owe to be the store manager? Do you know how much back money I paid for those rat-headed fairies to get the job I barely got! However, if customer Kang Min-goo died without earning any income, I would be broke, or rather be broke. I just end up becoming a debtor!]

Jun speaks passionately with her tears welling up.
Yes, it can’t be because you’re worried about me seeing you for the first time.
I said to Jun with a somewhat bitter expression.

“Okay. Your income is cut off. That is a very scary thing.”

Jun nodded with tears welling up at my words.

“By the way… A rat-headed fairy…?”

Is the one that popped into my head and the rat-headed fairy that Jun is talking about the same creature?
It seems to be the same… But a fairy?
Jun said to me with surprised eyes.

[Did I say I was a rat-head fairy? That, please pretend you didn’t hear that.]
“No, before I pretend I didn’t hear it, who are you talking about that rat-headed fairy?”
[Ah, I was really wrong…]

Crying Jun.
As I stared at Jun, he seemed resigned.

[I’m talking about the first-class 鼠頭 fairies who manage this game. Ooh, among us, it’s just that we’re called rat-head fairies. You know?]

Womae,
You really meant that rat head.
In a hurry?
The race name itself is a rat head.
But are they fairies?
It was a moment when I felt even more disgusted with my disgusting face.
They seem to be the same fairy, but why is there such a difference?
One side is the head of a catfish, and the other side is such a cute and pretty fairy-like fairy.
I calmed Jun, who was about to shout something out of excitement again, and calmly continued.

“Don’t worry, I have no intention of telling the managers. And I have the skill to hide myself in the dimensional rift. It’s a skill that no matter what enemy comes, you won’t be able to find me. My resting body is there, so I don’t really have to worry about it. Got it? It means I’m safe even if I spend a long time here.”

After hearing my words, Jun frowned and asked.

[Really… You have such a skill?]
“Yes, because it is true. So it’s okay not to worry about my body being in danger. Why would I want to stay here for a long time, telling lies like that?”
[.. I heard from seniors. A story about customers who stayed in the store for a long time and died because they fell in love with the appearance of our fairies.]

Well, it definitely makes sense.
Jun’s appearance is a look that will open my eyes even if I see it.
But..
There are four pretty girls like you around me.
Furthermore.

“That… I admit that Jun’s appearance is beautiful, but… I’m a bit underage…”

Jun’s eyes widened at my words.
Soon after, he began to shoot at me with his reddened face.

[Me, me, minors? Does that mean I didn’t look like an adult? No, where are you looking to say I’m underage? Ah, these clothes… It’s because of the clothes! The clothes… I couldn’t help it. I am poor But that’s why you think of me as a child when I’m an adult. You’re being rude!]

It’s not because of the clothes.
Anyway, this is a little surprising.
Are you an adult?
You have to look good, you look like a high school student..
Ah, the adult standards for fairies might be different.

“Ah… I’m sorry. We don’t recognize you as an adult until you turn 19. I think it’s too much based on our standards. The adult standard for fairies seems a bit low, right?”
[Oh no, it’s not like that!!]

Jun stamped his feet as if he was even more indignant.

[How old do you think I am! I’m at least older than Kang Min-goo’s customer!]
“… Yes?”
[Customer Kang Min-goo is 24 years old! My age is 25. I’m older than Kang Min-goo’s customer!]

Huh.
Sister…?
What about this pretty little boy?
This is so… Fresh.

When I looked at Jun with a surprised look, Jun said to me with a slight shrug.

[Well, I’m an older sister, but you don’t have to call me ‘Jun-sister’. No matter what anyone says, Kang Min-goo is a ‘customer’. You can just call me ‘Jun’. Well.. If you want, if you really want, I can allow you to call me ‘Jun-sister’.]

Hmm, I don’t have a good personality enough to laugh at such arrogance.
It makes you want to play a practical joke on the person you want to be nice to.
I smiled and told Jun.

“… Brother.”
[… Yes?]
“I say ‘brother’. When you call me from now on, you can say ‘brother’ rather than Kang Min-goo’s customer. You know?”

Silence passed between Jun and me for a moment.
Soon, Jun shoots at me with a reddened face.

[Muh, what are you talking about? Are you my brother? I’m older…]
“Ah, I delayed registering my birth. Originally I am 26 years old. So am I your brother?”

I rubbed my ears and spoke softly.
Well, I decided to go out childish, so I have to be thoroughly childish.
Where are you fighting in front of me?
Listening to what you say, I’m the first one.
If I don’t spend money at this store, Jun will be completely ruined.
With only a huge debt left.
They say I’m the first customer, but I’m really clumsy.
You spit out your own weaknesses.
I looked at Jun triumphantly, and Jun looked at me with a blushing face and said,

[This, I-Ik.. Apparently, the customer card said Kang Min-goo was 24 years old!]
“You said you should call me my brother, not Kang Min-goo’s customer? Hey, what’s this about not being able to meet the needs of customers with only one store? I will not come forward.”

Jun shouted with a puzzled face at my words.

[Oh, you’re not coming? Then, Kang Min-gu’s food, all kinds of daily necessities, items, and weapons. Where do you want to buy it?]
“You don’t have to use my store. All the things you have will be the same, so you can give gold to a friend and have him buy it on behalf of you. I have a friend who goes with me anyway. Is there any need to use a store that doesn’t listen to even the smallest request of a single customer like this?”

Oh, of course it’s bullshit.
There’s no such thing as a friend
No, even if there is, trust something and give me my blood-like gold to make a proxy purchase.
But, there’s no way Jun knows that.
Jun’s face didn’t turn red, he became contemplative.

[That, that, that kind of nonsense… No, that’s why…]

Jun, who can’t even speak, hesitates.
Hmmm, was the prank too much?
I’m a little sorry.
It was so cute that I wanted to tease it.
Suddenly, tears welled up in Jun’s eyes.
Uhh I have to stop
I guess it bothered me too much
Just as I was about to say sorry to Jun,
Jun, who was filled with tears, spoke to me.

[Oh, brother…]
