Chapter 233 – Pocket Girls
‘Haa… I’ll have to get some scrolls for the Artifact Magic Book that Rich gave me, finish the second transaction, and then buy a B-class game with the remaining points and go around.’
In the midst of that thought, one thought starts to pop into Seong-il’s head.
“…Do I really need to buy a new game?”
In Seong-il’s mind, the reward he received after clearing the game a while ago comes to mind.
‘…Was there any resurrection rights left?’
Come to think of it, Seong-il remembered the B-C grade game resurrection ticket he received after clearing the detective world a few months ago. He takes a thin piece of parchment from his inventory and holds it in his hand to connect his thoughts.
‘Hmm… Originally, I was thinking of resurrecting when I die in a B-level game to see the maximum benefit…’
However, when I look at the cases of the detective world or the alchemy world, I think that Seong-il can clear the game without threatening his life just with his considerably stronger abilities, unless it is a game that focuses on combat.
‘… Rather, what I regret is 『Pocket Girls』.’
Since it was the first game world, there was a certain attachment to the Pocket Girls game world. I feel like I want to undo the stupid mistake that died, and achieve the title of C-class game master that I have not achieved yet.
‘Yes… Let’s use the Resurrection Ticket on Pocket Girls. I want to see Red too.’
It was a short time, but Seong-il smiled as he recalled the expression of Red, who selflessly followed him a lot. Reminded of Red, he tears up the scroll and starts using it.
“Use the resurrection ticket. Pocket Girls!”
Then, intense light emitted from the torn scroll, and the light began to be absorbed by his smartphone.
“…Was it?”
The light of the scroll faded after a while. Seong-il instinctively takes out his phone and checks the accessible game world.
『List of playable games』
– Pocket Girls (Resurrection)
– Laughing martial arts
– How to Become an Alchemist (Clear)
“Done!!”
Seong-il looks at the game list with an excited expression when the game world of Pocket Girls is restored as he expected.
“Play now… No.”
Business in 『The Throne of the Cursed』 That comes to mind after being forgotten for a while due to excitement. Seong-il decides to close the deal with Argent and return to 『Pocket Girls』.
“It would be better to simply get a few spells for the Wonder Spellbook, finish the deal with Argent, and then go to Pocket Girls.”
Seong-il, who thought so, started entering the world of 『Cursed Throne』 To carry out his plan.
Next day.
“This is the great adventurer’s shop, Mr. Seongil.”
“Hey…”
It was a situation where he came to the store of a great adventurer who had been in and out of the game hundreds of times with Verisa, his slave and contact.
“…Really, if I buy a few scrolls, you’ll supply me with magic power until next month, right?”
Verisa stealthily holds up a bag of gold coins and smiles seductively at Seong-il, reminding him of the promise once again.
“Of course. I have no intention of breaking my promise. Besides, I won’t buy a few orders, so I won’t lose anything to you.”
“Thank you!!”
Berry’s face turns red and excited at Seongil’s cool reply. Seong-il smiles bitterly at her appearance and starts giving her orders.
“Fireball, death cloud, sleep, invisibility…”
When Seongil said about eight scrolls, Berry moved her body without hesitation and bought the scrolls he requested.
‘That’s enough.’
A great adventurer’s shop with quite a few powerful magic items in the shop theme that appeared in the beginning.
Seong-il was going to look at the items he had seen in the game, but he gave up shopping because he wanted to quickly complete the transaction with Argent, and started telling Verisa the keywords to trade with Argent in the corner of the store.
“Verissa.”
“Yes?”
“…How is Argent these days?”
When Seong-il said the keyword, Verisa’s pupils widened slightly, and she began to answer Seong-il with a strange expression.
“Even so… Argent… Wanted to talk to Mr. Seong-il…”
‘Hee… I’m getting goosebumps.’
Seong-il feels a strange sense of fear and crisis at Verisa’s insane state.
‘I’d rather just skip the deal and go straight to Pocket Girls.’
When Seong-il begins to feel something ominous in her senses, she naturally turns away from her body.
‘…Is this a crisis warning from a detective’s intuition?!’
Seong-il feels strange goosebumps at the strange sensation he feels for the first time in his life. He quickly makes Verissa wait and tries to return to reality using his smartphone in the corner of the store.
“Whoa… It felt like something really dangerous.”
Seong-il realized that nothing good would happen if he got involved with Argent any more, thanks to the skill’s warning. Although he regrets the reward Argent will give him, he decides not to ignore the warning given by her protection skill 『Detective’s Intuition』.
‘Well… Just being able to use the Wonderful Spellbook is already a huge benefit.’
Seong-il, who thought so, tries to return to 『Pocket Girls』 After a long time.
‘Huh… It’s been a while.’
I only stayed for a short time, but Pocket Girls’ Shelter gives off a familiar feeling. He smiles as he sees Red sleeping next to him.
“Nice to meet you, Red!!”
“Under…?”
Red looks at him with a blank expression, waking up from Seong-il’s words out of the blue. Seong-il smiles at her familiar expression and begins to hug her and kiss her.
“Lol…!”
Red responds gently to a kiss on such a holy day. She kisses her and begins to connect her words by gently caressing his alter ego.
“Zig…?”
Red’s clumsy words that are short but contain a lot of content. However, Seong-il shakes her head, hugs her, and raises her body from her seat.
“Let’s do it later! I have work to do today.”
“Huh!”
Red nodded cutely at Sungil’s words. Seong-il smiles at him and gets up from his seat and starts putting on his clothes.
‘…The Resurrection Scroll was an item that allowed you to return 8 hours before death, right?’
‘I remember doing quests this morning using my quest skills…’
‘It would be better to prepare for Taeseong’s attack instead of doing quests today.’
Seong-il made plans for the day in an instant based on his experiences so far. He goes outside with Red and starts exploring.
“Hmm… Where did this bastard go?”
I searched the surroundings for a while, but Taeseong was nowhere to be seen. Seong-il can’t find him even after asking around, so he gives up the search and starts waiting for him on the street where he died.
“At this point…”
Seong-il settled down on a street around the outskirts of town. In the past, Seong-il deliberately positioned himself in the location where he was attacked and reverse-summoned Red.
‘…If Red is there, he’ll have a sense of crisis and won’t attack me, so I’d better keep him invisible.’
Seong-il was fully prepared to induce Tae-seong. He puts on his gauntlets for the first time in a while, sits down on a nearby bench, subtly raises his inner workings, and begins to check his surroundings with 『Emotion』.
‘Still, if you kill people in the village, the problem can get bigger no matter what the situation is, so it’s better to kill them halfway and hand them over to the police.’
Seong-il did not want his adventure in the world to be ruined after making a fuss. With his cool-headed judgment, he makes plans for the future while leaving Eun-won behind.
The time when I sat quietly for a few hours and waited for Teseong for a long time. I begin to feel a ray of life in Seong-il’s sharp response.
‘Did you come…?!’
Seong-il hardens his expression at the appearance of Murki, who seems to be Tae-seong, and quietly gets up from his seat and pretends to go somewhere.
‘It’s getting closer.’
As Seong-il recalls the memory of being killed by him, his blood starts to boil.
‘…If he goes first, it could lead to unnecessary misunderstandings, so let’s aim for the timing when he pulls out his sword and attacks.’
However, Seong-il, who has learned to control his anger through a lot of combat experience, swallows his anger and desperately waits for the right time to counterattack.
‘…Now!!’
Based on the senses that 『Emotion』 Informs, Seong-Il quickly turns his body to the point where his life spews out. Indeed, in that direction, Tae-seong can be seen holding a sharp knife and charging with a terrifying expression.
“Nice to meet you.”
“…?!”
Far from being embarrassed or afraid of his own rush, Tae-seong puts on an absurd expression when he sees Seong-il looking at him with an evil smile.
“You… If only it weren’t for you!!”
Seong-il laughed viciously at Tae-seong, and after raising his inner strength, he quickly took the ceremony of bankruptcy priesthood, and then started to charge against him.
“Certainly, bankruptcy is more to my liking…”
Despite the crisis situation, when Seong-il runs up to him while leisurely talking to himself, Tae-seong puts on an absurd expression.
“Uh…?!”
However, even in that absurd situation for a while, as Seong-il approaches him at a terrifying speed, Tae-seong’s expression begins to change to astonishment.
“Super… Super power?!”
“It’s similar~ dude.”
After penetrating into Taeseong’s bewildered body and lightly dodging the dagger he wielded, Seongil slashed Taesung’s abdomen with the palm of his hand, which contained bloody power.
Awesome!!
“Chehehe…!!”
In order to subdue him without killing him, he deliberately slapped him on the abdomen with his palm, but Tae-seong felt his intestines explode with just that and flew backwards.
“Kek… Kehehe… Heck!!”
“You should be more fit. You son of a bitch.”
Although it has been more than half a year since he died from Tae-seong, Seong-il’s anger was slightly diluted. However, as the blood boils through the battle, the old anger begins to revive little by little and begins to beat him sincerely.
Fuck! Poop!!
“Khehe…!!”
“Do you stab someone with a knife?”
“That…That’s not yet…!”
“Shut up you bastard!”
Seong-il kicks the knife, drops it moderately, and hits him avoiding a vital point. Meanwhile, a man who seems to be a village vigilante runs up to them and starts talking to them.
“There! What are you doing!!”
Seeing Seong-il beating Tae-seong mercilessly, they point a weapon that looks like a firearm and talk to him.
“This guy tried to swing a knife at me.”
“That… It’s a lie!!”
“…Is this bastard?”
“Really! The knife was wielded by this guy!! Help me!!”
When the guard approaches, Tae-seong shamelessly lies and tries to escape the crisis.
And Seong-il sighs lightly at his appearance, and continues talking by teaching the guard a corner of the wall.
“There’s a video I recorded on my phone over there.”
“What…?!”
Tae-seong puts on a look of embarrassment at Seong-il’s words. After Seong-il gave him a fishy smile, he started talking to the guard.
“Since yesterday, this bastard has been following me. This guy has a history of stealing from the A01 shelter in the past, and he was embarrassed because of my report. I wonder if he’s following me for retaliation purposes…”
“Hmm…”
The guard looked down at Taeseong with a serious expression at Seongil’s words. He stares at Seong-il for a moment, and then moves to the bench Seong-il pointed out.
“Uh…”
As Seong-il said, there is a smart phone on the bench that is recording, and the guard picks up the phone with a puzzled expression and checks the video.
“…!!”
Indeed, as Seong-il said, the video on the phone recorded the situation. After grasping the whole situation, the guard distorts his face and starts glaring at Taeseong.
“Right?”
“…I misunderstood for a moment.”
“Oh, no!!”
Realizing that his situation is going unfavorably, Tae-seong crumples his face and lets out a line mixed with embarrassing moans, then gets up from his seat and tries to escape.
“Where are you going? Bastard…!”
Awesome!!
“Khehe…!!”
