Chapter 72 – Episode 72. Fairy Promise (2)
Six days had already passed since entering the event dungeon.
Now, if you hold on for one more day, the event you were fed up with will end.
Jisoo, who was lying with me on the mattress, told me.
“Um… Master? It will be noon soon. You’re leaving soon…”
“Oh, has it already been that time? Tsk. I have to leave quickly.”
I hurriedly got up and came out of the cradle of rest, and Ji-soo followed me out.
I stretched out a lot and then said.
“You can’t even do this. Every time the map is opened, it is full of people..”
“Iknow, right. Apparently, there are 5 treasures gathered…”
I left the door of rest open and began to walk with great strides.
At noon, this place will once again turn into a scene reminiscent of Hell.
A bloody fight among the people seeking treasure.
Of course, it does no harm to us inside the cradle of rest,
I mean it’s so crazy
When you see a man wielding a knife right in front of you, and a man with one of his limbs cut off, you can’t help but pay attention to it.
So, just before noon and midnight, I get out of the cradle of rest and find a place to rest somewhere else.
I am using the method of summoning the door of rest to my location again after 10 minutes when the map display disappears.
That’s pretty annoying.
Because you have to go out and move once every 12 hours.
What can I do though?
For a comfortable and quiet rest, this is the price to bear.
Eventually, around noon, a message appeared in front of my eyes.
[It’s noon. Mark the location of the treasure on the map for ten minutes from now.]
It’s a start again.
After the message comes to mind and time passes, the images of people moving quickly come into view.
Everyone must be moving to the area where the treasure is marked.
I sat on one side and watched the people on the move.
Tomorrow, everything will be over.
It is the end of a long, long event.
Right now, I occupy first place.
Because I have 5 treasures.
Currently in second place is the person with the nickname “Death knight” Who owns three treasures.
It’s a naming sense that makes you know who it is just by hearing it.
Anyway, it’s great too.
You gave me two treasures and immediately collected three additional treasures.
And currently in third place are people with the nicknames ‘Treasure is mine’ and ‘angel2222’, each with one treasure.
Everyone must be fighting hard to find and protect the treasure.
As the owner of 5 treasures, I, who has to fight the hardest, is resting so comfortably.
Come to think of it, the job of a necromancer really seems like a scam.
Jisoo poured out a cup of coffee in a thermos and handed it to me.
It feels really good to sip a cup of hot and sweet coffee.
Today, with one day left of the event dungeon,
Juniel, who entered the first dungeon, is still ranked #1 in the rankings.
There’s quite a bit of gap between them and 2nd place, so it seems safe to keep 1st place until the end of the event.
That would be the case, because it was hunting monsters without sleeping for a week.
There is bound to be a difference between the 2nd place.
And Si-eun, Ji-yoon, and Jo of the boss who entered the second dungeon.
They still don’t have a ranking.
Raid monsters only appeared today and started attacking in earnest.
They say the rankings will be announced tomorrow after the event ends, so we have no choice but to wait.
As I thought about this and that, the 10 minutes when the treasure was displayed on the map had all passed.
I sent a telepathic message to Dongseok in the cradle of rest, instructing him to close the door of rest, and then summoned the door of rest to my side.
When I opened the door and went in, Dong-seok, who was standing there with blank eyes, came out and greeted Ji-soo.
I want to ask how today’s treasure hunt was, but Dong-seok without Iji would not be able to answer.
I lay down on the mattress again, and as if it was natural, Jisoo came next to me and hugged me and lay down with me.
I haven’t been to the store since the last time I explained my side job to Jun, the store clerk.
Because Jun asked for time to think.
I hadn’t been to a store before, to give it enough thought.
Since I don’t go to the store at night, what should I do until the morning after the midnight map mark ends every night?
I had a great time with Jisoo.
Thanks to that, Jisoo’s stats went up quite a lot.
But today, the last night in the event dungeon, I’m thinking of going to the store.
If given this much time, Jun would have thought about what to do.
Thinking about what conclusion Jun came to while hugging Jisoo’s head.
[You have leveled up. Distribute skill points]
A message informing you of leveling up appeared before your eyes.
Juniel and the other three who entered the second dungeon must be eagerly catching and killing something.
Leveling up again following the last time.
I opened the status window.
“Status window.”
[Kang Min-goo
Lv27 (+1) Occupation: Necromancer Sub-occupation: Sex Supporter
Hp:540/540 (+20)
Mp:250/250 (+15)
Holding Gold: 2535 (+13)
Str:54(+2)
Con:54(+2)
Dex:55(+1)
Int:50(+3)

Skill
Wake up (lv.11) (Current subordinates 6/6. Seo Ji-soo, Ju Ji-eun, Jung Ji-yoon, Junieres de Goose, Kang Yun-soo, Seong Dong-seok)
Hand of Exploitation (lv.7)
Door of Rest (lv.7)
Soul Harvest (P) – Jar of Souls (894) (+18)
Summon Nunchucks (lv.1)]
Gold increased considerably, and the jar of souls also rose considerably.
But the most important thing is skill points.
I gathered enough skill points to raise the level of my main skill, ‘Wake Up’.
Without delay, I used the points for the ‘Wake up’ skill.
[The skill ‘Wake Up’ has reached level 12. The number of dependencies that can be held is added by 1.]
‘Eh…’
The most common additional effects were added.
It would have been nice if the number of subordinates was full, so I had prepared one more seat… But it’s also a pity.
Still, since the general effect has been applied now, the next level up will have a good additional effect, right?
I closed the status window and closed my eyes.
Last night, I played with Jisoo all night, so I was pretty tired.
I fell asleep just like that.
When I open my eyes, the surroundings are dark.
Jisoo, who was in my arms, asked me.
“Master. Are you awake?”
“Yeah woke up. What time is it now?”
“It will be midnight in a little while.”
“Hey, you slept a lot.”
Jisoo looked at me and asked.
“What are you going to do? Are you leaving again before midnight?”
“No. Today, just being in the cradle of rest. I’m going to the store tonight after a long time.”
“Oh, I see.”
Jisoo’s expression as he answers shows some kind of regret.
I smiled mischievously and said to Jisoo.
“You stayed up all night for days. Are you still lacking?”
“Oh, oh, no. Something like that…”
Looking at Jisoo who shyly avoids my eyes, I felt the desire to torment her even more.
However, the message that popped up in front of my eyes forced me to stop what I was doing.
[Midnight. We will inform you of the current ranking. 1st place [Go away 1234] Have 5 treasures. 2nd place [Death Knight] Have 3 treasures. 3rd place [Angel2222] Has 2 treasures. That is all.]
Hmm, it seems that ‘Treasure is mine’ lost in the match between ‘Treasure is mine’ and ‘angel2222’, who competed by holding each treasure.
The two of them were tied for 3rd place, but ‘angel2222’ became the 3rd place alone.
The message followed, telling me to mark the location of the treasure on a map for 10 minutes, then quickly disappeared.
Oh, it will be noisy again.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long after the message appeared, but the surroundings became brighter and people’s voices could be heard.
Even though you know for sure that if you go to a place where five treasures are gathered for a few days, there will be no treasure, only people and bloodshed, but what will be the psychology of the people who flock to it when it is marked on the map?
I mean, I can’t understand
I clicked my tongue and said to Jisoo lying next to me.
“I will go to the store. I’ll be back in the morning, so if there’s anything wrong, call me telepathically. Got it?”
“Yes, master. Bye.”
I just closed my eyes and went to the store.
Even after sleeping for such a long time, I feel my consciousness fade away.
After the surroundings turn dark, the familiar space surrounded by marble floors and walls comes into view.
And,
[Brother!!!]
“Quite good!!”
I had no choice but to let out a scream by the green-haired little fairy who rushed at me with a headbutt.
Having hit the pit of my head against my head, I tried to spit out a spurt of nausea, but had no choice but to swallow it.
How could I curse at the little fairy who was crying sadly while being hugged by me as she rushed to me?
“Jun? Why, why are you doing this? What’s going on? Why are you crying?”
I managed to separate Jun, who was clinging to him with tears in his eyes, and looked at Jun’s face.
Jun said to me with tears in his eyes and a messed up face.
[Sigh… Oh, oppa. Hee-guk… He didn’t come for a long time.. Hee-guk… I… Hee-geuk… I thought my brother was dead… Hee-hee-i-ing]
“Jun? That’s what Jun did. Give me time to think. That’s why I didn’t come here on purpose to give you enough time…”
[Bird, half a day without my brother is enough time to think. Keuheu Since I haven’t come for a few days, I’m sure something happened.. Haaaaang!!]
Jun burst into tears again.
Did I take too long that it was my time to think?
That’s why you cry so much
Well, if I had died, Jun would have had to remain alone in the game that might end at any moment…
I quietly hugged the crying Jun.
Caught in my arms, Jun started to cry.
Now that it’s like this, I’ll feel a little better if I let her cry.
Jun cried in my arms, and I gently brushed Jun’s back.
After a while, Jun seemed to have calmed down.
Only then was I able to properly talk with Jun.
“Are you okay now?”
Perhaps he finally realized that he had been crying profusely, Jun lowered his head and spoke to me shyly.
[Sorry, sorry. I’m embarrassed…]
“No. I understand Jun. He must have been very anxious, right?”
Jun lowered his head and spoke in a crawling voice.
[Yeah.. Since my brother didn’t come back like that at that time.. I thought that my brother, who thought I wouldn’t keep my promise properly, was angry and didn’t come back. I was worried that something might have happened in the dungeon…]
As he spoke, he was about to burst into tears again, so I hurriedly hugged him again and comforted him.
Ugh. It’s not easy to soothe a crying woman.
Come to think of it, Ji-yoon cried so sadly when she saved Ji-yoon in the past and when she told her of the deaths of Chang-soo and Jeong-hyeon, who had come with her.
After I calmed her down…
‘It was delicious. It’s a great memory..’
When I think back to that time, it feels like something is happening.
In fact, that was the first and last time he had ever done anything with a living woman.
It’s not that the night life with Shieun, Jisoo, Jiyoon, and Juniel is bad, but I still can’t forget the warm feeling at that time.
While I recalled the past for a while, Jun, who was being held by me, must have felt a small (?!) Change in my body.
Jun, startled and falling away from me.
Oh dear. It’s a mistake.
I recalled the past too blatantly.
Jun backs away from me and puts his head down.
Let’s take a closer look to see if he’s angry…
I could see her white face and even the nape of her neck turning red.
Jun said in a low voice.
[Ji, I’ve been thinking about it since I sent my brother away last time. I didn’t even hear what his brother’s secondary job was and made a ‘fairy promise’ to help him. Clearly, I was careless at the time. But that doesn’t mean you can’t break the ‘fairy’s promise’.]
Raising her head, Jun looked at me with a reddened face and said.
[I will help. Brother’s training. Dedicate your body and mind.]
Jun speaks in a small, shy voice, but firmly.
I looked at Jun and asked.
“Are you really okay? Do you know the meaning of… Helping the training of the sub-job?”
Jun nodded her head and said.
[Sure. I am Jun, a fairy who has experienced everything. Well, of course, I’ve never experienced that kind of work, but…]
“That… Is it okay? If you don’t have experience in this way… It won’t be easy…”
Jun shook his head and said sharply.
[Are you okay. It’s an experience you should have had at some point. Whether I have a lot of experience or not, I have to help.]
Jun looked me straight in the eyes and said.
[Because that’s… The fairy’s promise.]
