Chapter 113 – Episode 113. Survival Test (6)
Treatment of congenital magical disorders.
Of course I know
Medes, the main executive of the Mine Collective Pandemic.
Among demons, it is a special entity whose heart itself has turned into a magic stone.
He needs Medes’ heart, which is getting stronger after absorbing Medes’ mana for decades.
If you have it, you can cure magical disorders.
And Medes appears in the second half of the original work.
That means, right now, Elise’s magical disorder cannot be cured.
But why bluff like this? After all, Alice doesn’t know anything.
Congenital Magical Disorder is a disease in which the Iris Guild, a super-giant guild, tried their best to find a cure, but failed.
As long as Ellis believes that ‘Lee Ho-yeon has a cure for her congenital magical disorder’, it is okay to say bullshit.
Because no one has found a cure.
“Chi, how to treat it. Tell me too. Please.”
“I’ll let you know.”
“Me, really?”
Alice’s face blushed.
But you can’t just go over here like Hogu.
The attack on Alice became difficult to follow the original route as long as my relationship with a woman was discovered.
Since other women are already preoccupying me, I won’t show the generosity of a husband like in the original work.
In the end, I have to make a relationship with the top.
The first step is to overcome the magical obstacle.
‘Looking at the reaction, I can’t quickly increase my liking.’
I wouldn’t want to like a man with octopus feet either.
The goal is for me to maintain a top-class relationship until Medes appears and the feud with Irene, Elise’s older sister, begins.
It might be possible if I naturally maintain a relationship with the top player until I enter the capture route.
Instead, it should have a higher affinity than the original at the point of attack. Because it starts with knowing that I already have a woman.
In other words, I need to increase her affinity for Ellis while maintaining her power.
‘Is it difficult?’
Once I said to Elise, who was looking at me with her eyes twinkling.
“Ellis, but there’s something we need to do first.”
“…?”
“Can’t you see?”
Ellis tilted her head, then saw my expression and lowered her head as if remembering.
“Ah… I’m really sorry for trying to blackmail you with a background investigation.”
“Yeah. Okay. I was just in the mood.”
To be honest, there is nothing to be apologized for behind the scenes investigation. It feels bad, but it’s a normal practice in the Hunter world.
Right away, Moon Su-rin also investigated my background.
But even if it’s a formality, I should accept an apology.
Small things like this are part of the process of becoming a leader.
“First of all, it’s about the treatment method, but it will take at least a year. Is it okay?”
“Yeah. As long as I can cure it… I don’t care.”
It takes a year for Medes to come out, so I have to buy time until then.
A way to increase your liking while still being a little effective….
A method crossed my mind.
While helping Rumi train, she learned how to control the mana in other people’s bodies.
Then, wouldn’t it be possible to directly put my mana into it?
This should be enough to buy you time.
And to increase the likability, you can put mana in a slightly different way.
“Do you know what a mana massage is?”
“What?”
It was the first expression Elise had ever heard.
Of course. It’s a word I just made up.
“It was made through research with people I know… I need someone with high mana management. Come here for a second.”
I grabbed Elise’s shoulder and injected some of my mana into it.
Then, it naturally melted into Elise’s mana circuit.
“Ah? What is this…”
“Can you feel your mana have increased a little?”
“How is this possible?”
“It’s the result of hard work. I also worked very hard to cure my magical disorder.”
Gourada.
It’s thanks to the [Mana Sensing] Perk.
Controlling mana is my specialty. Maybe someone else won’t be able to.
Putting mana into someone else’s body to attack or assist in absorbing elixirs and changing my mana into that person’s mana are two different things.
“It takes the highest quality magic stones to do it right… But I’ll do it in short order.”
I put my hand on Elise’s back and breathed mana into it.
It wasn’t much, but it was enough to work for a few hours.
“If you continue to receive this massage, you will feel a little change.”
“Thank you. Help me a little during the survival test. Outside, tell me how to do it, and I’ll do my own research.”
“Yes. First of all, I am the only one left who can do it. The person who originally did it has now retired from active duty. If that doesn’t work, I’ll help.”
“Yeah. Thanks. I’ll go out and pay for this.”
“No. We’re friends, but what?”
After all, Alice is bound to come back to me even after Survival is over.
Without [Mana Response], There is no one who can operate such a high level of mana.
Rather, once you taste it, you will come back for more.
Filling mana with a magic stone feels like absorbing mana into the body, so it’s not efficient and a lot of mana is wasted, but I directly deliver mana to the mana circuit.
Seeing that I was forcing my mana into it, the mana circuit was forcibly widened.
Of course, just because the circuit is temporarily widened is not an easy enough disease to be cured.
However, Alice, who has a narrow mana circuit, will feel that even the process is part of her treatment.
“First of all… Let’s go together during the survival test.”
“Yea, I got it.”
*
“I only want one thing. Let’s not bother each other. I trust you. To be precise, I believe in the ego of a person named Alice. I’m not the kind of person who will accept favors for free.”
“Yes. That’s a good idea. I’m a proud man.”
We were talking while walking.
“It’s a background investigation, well, there’s no one who doesn’t do it honestly. It’s okay. Right now, I’m in a position to receive a request from your guild leader.”
“Ah… That’s right. Request right. I got it from my father. I’ll give it to you after the survival.”
“Okay, thanks.”
I will use the request right for Nam Da-eun.
I’ll use it later to pressure the buyer’s guild.
In order not to get help from other heroines, I also need to have a lot of strength.
“Lee Ho-yeon. I, that… Is not enough.”
“Come on.”
Every few hours, he puts his hand on Elise’s shoulder and injects her mana.
Very little
If you want to, you can fill up your mana all at once, but it won’t feel like you’re slowly progressing, so I’m just starting out little by little.
“Thank you.”
After receiving her mana, Elise thanked me.
Elise says she will only take care of her for survival, but she will get a massage from me outside as well.
In the end, the act of continuing to receive my own massages in survival shows is creating a background for me to become a top player.
“Come to think of it, did Rumi and I decide to go separately?”
“… How do you know I met Rumi?”
This is weird
Obviously, Rumi came after Alice left, then Rumi left and Alice came back.
Couldn’t Alice have seen me with her?
“Ah, ah… I saw Rumi on the way. Rumi was coming from your direction. And she was taking food, so of course she thought she was with you.”
“Aha… I see.”
Pretending to be convinced, I turned on the status window.
★ Heroine Status Window
[Ellis]
– [ Likeability: 33 ]
– [ Sex drive: 57 ]
– [ Appetite : 40 ]
– [ Fatigue : 79 ]
Current status: I almost got caught… Let’s not make a mistake.
‘… Suspicious.’
What do you mean you were about to get caught?
If you tell me that you know about my relationship with Rumi, do you have anything to reveal?
There is one thing I must say for sure.
“Don’t worry about my relationship with a woman. We should take care of each other’s own territory.”
“Yeah, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. …Where are you going now?”
“First of all, let’s go find a treasure or a supply box. Or a boss monster. I think these three would be a good reward.”
Alice brought up another subject to cover up her slip of the tongue.
‘Let’s move on for now.’
If it’s really important, I won’t make more mistakes here.
If you watch it, you might get a sense of it, so I decided to wait.
We were riding a mountain.
There was also a survival test in the original work.
And, of course, I found some treasure, and I knew the location of the boss monster.
Among them, I headed to the location I remembered.
Even during gameplay, the location of the treasure was the same, but the type was different for each episode, so I don’t know what kind of treasure it is. But if anything, it’s an advantage.
Chark-
Elise cut her way through, chopping a tree with her sword in front of her.
Since I give her a massage, she takes the lead. Have a conscience
For reference, I brought the black just in case.
“Let’s go this way. I think there’s something there.”
“… Are you sure?”
“You don’t know anything anyway. Let’s just do as I say.”
“Okay.”
Alice eagerly felled the tree, and I followed.
“Something really suspicious came out…”
Alice put on a strange expression as if she was dumbfounded.
‘As expected, this is the right place.’
We found a large rock that was openly suspicious.
“It’s too hard for me to break.”
Thump.
It sure looks solid just by looking at it.
“I’ll pierce it. Get out of the way.”
I condensed mana into a spiral in my hand and expressed ‘Spiral’.
Kwaaang-!
The rock that touched my ‘spiral’ shattered with a loud sound, and the entrance to the cave behind it appeared.
“Let’s go in.”
“Yes.”
Chewy-
The drone that had been following us since morning entered the cave as well.
I’ve been following her ever since Alice and I started hanging out together.
He’s probably monitoring them as an ally of the two promising players.
Alice was advancing slowly, looking around in front of her.
‘There are no monsters here.’
This large rock cave is finished just by breaking the rock.
No traps, no monsters.
Of course, there was no way Elise knew that, so I quietly followed.
He summoned spheres of fire from time to time and brightened his vision.
When Alice looked back, I acted with a nervous expression.
Let’s go inside for about ten minutes, and it’s a reward for anyone to see. There was a treasure chest that said,
“Let’s open it.”
“Wait. It could be a Mimic. Don’t relax.”
“Uh, yes.”
Well, there is a monster called Mimic here too.
I summoned fire magic and scorched the treasure chest.
I know it’s not a mimic, but I act hard and attack the treasure chest.
“I think it’s fine. I’ll open it.”
“Be careful, just in case.”
“Okay.”
I opened the treasure chest.
Inside was a piece of paper.
‘What is this?’
[Treasure no. 19. 100% physical recovery ticket]
“Health recovery ticket?”
I was about to examine the paper inquiringly, but my smart watch started blinking.
I checked the survival test app on my smartwatch.
– [Treasure no. 19. 100% HP Recovery Coupon] Found!
– If you press the physical recovery ticket button on your smart watch, the saintess will immediately come to you and restore 100% of your physical strength.
– It is disposable.
“…”
Baek Ah-young Is it you again?
