Chapter 156 – High-Speed Strategy
“I will take care of this. “Don’t feel unfair, think of it as the price of your life.”
There was no answer.
Of course. Unless it’s a Dullahan, there’s no way a dead body can talk.
Jun left the silent corpses behind and put the luggage they were moving together into Dowonhyang.
Each one was big and heavy, as if it showed their greed.
Even if you sell just one, you can make a lot of money.
Even so, is it more precious than the lives of others or your own conscience?
‘… I can’t say for sure.’
Because he has power, plenty of money, and beautiful wives, he can be considered precious.
If I didn’t have the strength, money, and wives to support them…
“No, but Jun would have kept his conscience. Port can tell.”
“Why do you humble yourself like that? “You are definitely a good person.”
“Honey, you are different from this trash. “Trust your wife.”
“… Okay, okay!”
Honestly, Jun couldn’t believe himself.
But his wives could be trusted. So let his wives believe in him.
After packing all my bags, I headed straight to the entrance.
Since they were lying in ambush near the entrance until they arrived, he should be able to arrive quickly.
Fortuna couldn’t stand it anymore and opened her mouth.
“Junjun, but why didn’t you ask the people you rescued this time to keep our identity a secret?”
“I didn’t think it would be meaningful to hide it any longer.”
There are two reasons why he tried to hide his identity.
One was to delay the cult from sending another assassination team by pretending not to encounter the killing team, and the other was to prevent the Merchant Union from issuing an order for the miners to return before clearing out all the miners.
But now the reason has faded a lot.
It’s already been two months since he and his wife started their adventure.
If this much time had passed, unless the people in the cult were stupid, they had no choice but to realize that they had defeated the assassination team stationed on the 10th floor.
Almost all the miners were cleared out, so it didn’t matter if the Merchants’ Union issued an order to return.
The number of miners who returned… Isn’t it less than 30 at most?
Above all, news about her and her wives has already spread widely on earth.
In addition to the adventurers we saved today, there were already 30 adventurers we saved in one way or another.
Although they asked everyone to keep their identity a secret, have they really been keeping it a secret until now?
No, there were definitely a few people who made fun of their mouths.
“Oh, that’s why you didn’t ask to keep it a secret.”
“Sir, I still think it would be right to ask you something about Sister Porn.”
“Yes, my dear. Dohwa-unni is known as a spirit with a free form, so it won’t look strange if her body size increases, but Porn-unni is known as a fairy with a fixed form, so she would be suspicious of her increased body size.”
“Po, is Por suspicious? Jun, what should I do? Por, you might get arrested for being suspicious. Ugh!”
“Don’t worry, Por. No matter how suspicious it is, that won’t happen. And if we’re overreacting, it might not seem particularly suspicious.”
Jun’s decision not to ask Fortuna was an impromptu decision, but it was also something he had been thinking about for a long time.
When she got ‘big breasts,’ June thought.
It seems like there are so many different abilities in this world. If so, I wonder if there might be an ability to increase the size of the body.
For example, ‘giantification’?
When I thought about it that way, it surprisingly made sense.
That may have been the reason why Ax Warrior and some quick-witted people kept quiet even though they guessed Fortuna’s identity.
If she is considered suspicious, it will be because of her power, not her appearance.
Fortuna’s identity is strictly a summoned beast, but the power she displayed in front of her adventurers was by no means that of an ordinary summoned beast.
By now, aren’t we debating whether it’s a summoned animal?
“Uhm. “Isn’t that a problem too?”
“It would be like that anywhere else. But not in the adventure industry.”
In the adventurer industry, as long as you are good at adventures, you will be successful.
He did not care at all what kind of power he used or what kind of person he was as long as he did not abandon humanity and righteousness.
“Don’t worry even if someone takes issue with it.”
“Why? “Our Juni will protect Por?”
“Of course there is that too.”
Knock
“Once you pass through this door, people around you will take care of that guy without me having to go out.”
It is the 55th day since I started this adventure, and approximately 8 months since I became an adventurer.
We arrived in front of the entrance to the 20th floor.
It was the shortest record in history, incomparable even to past warriors.

“… They are doing it.”
Seeing the goblin and the giant ant desperately reaching out their hands (antennae) toward each other just before they died, Jun was furious and shook the whale.
‘I would understand in most cases, but you are so different.’
The main monsters that appeared on the 20th floor were Goblin and Giant Ant.
Instead of appearing individually, they appeared in pairs like cavalry, and the way they looked at each other was unusual, perhaps because they were so infatuated with their partner.
It was like looking at a lovely lover.
A goblin and an ant are lovers.
Even a bad joke would be better than this.
Is it even possible to see him as an ideal type in the first place? Is mating possible?
“Sii~. Jun, these guys are annoying.”
“Yes.”
The combination of Goblin and Giant Ant was not ideal as a couple, but as partners it was the best.
Although they lack physical ability, goblins are quick-witted and dexterous and attack.
Giant Ant, who has good physical ability but lacks intelligence and is a bit slow in his actions, was able to compensate for each other’s shortcomings and maximize their strengths by taking advantage of the defense.
In the battle just before her, the Giant Ant was hit by her Fortuna’s hammer and half of her head was caved in, but she continued to bite her tenaciously, and her Ant’s partner Goblin took advantage of that opportunity, shedding bloody tears. He shot her with her paralyzing sting.
Similar things have happened several times over the past five days on the 20th floor.
Jun and his wives were barely clueless enough to suffer such an attack, but they couldn’t help but feel annoyed every time they tried to attack them.
How can I not get annoyed?
Those who can be defeated in one breath can be defeated in half a breath, or if unlucky, one breath more.
“Jun, are we still far from the entrance? Por, I want to go out and eat a whole chocolate cookie cart.”
“Oh, that’s right. By the way, our Por really likes chocolate cookies. What is your favorite thing to eat?”
“No, Port has something else that is best.”
Fortuna shook her head firmly, as if her nonsense were nonsense.
No, you sang the Choco Cookie song and it wasn’t your favorite? Then what is it?
“Juni’s Milk.”
“… What?”
What did you just say? Did I hear correctly?
When Jun was so suspicious, Fortuna said with a serious expression on her face.
“There is nothing in this world tastier than Junie’s milk. It’s really, really sweet, so just smelling it makes my heart pound, and when I eat it, my whole body feels warm and fuzzy.”
“Socheop and Socheop think so too.”
“… Gulp.”
The three wives all swallowed their saliva and began to stare intently at the area where Yukbong was located.
Sisters, can you please come to your senses? My eyes are half dead right now.
Jun secretly covered his waist with his robe, as if he was going to rush in at any moment and grab the six-pointed stick in his mouth.
Now is not the time. Calm down.
“Seup! Gulp. To be honest, Por wants to drink Junie’s milk all day, but…”
“Then no matter how much I die, I will die!”
“Yes, that’s why I held back and ate chocolate cookies that tasted just as similar as dust.”
Is it quantity instead of quality?
I’m really glad that I was able to replace it. If that wasn’t possible, I would have been sucked in all day long and turned into a skinny mummy.
‘For a moment. Then, now that we have run out of chocolate cookies, there is a risk of that happening.’
I looked at the wives’ eyes once again.
The light was deader than before. For some reason, really for some reason, I feel a chill down my spine.
“Junii~. Por, I’m hungry. Can’t I just drink Junie’s milk just a little, just a little?”
“Both Socheop and Socheop are very hungry.”
“… Master.”
In the end, the wives gave up on their desires.
Their black hands secretly and dirtyly grope Jun’s body like molesters.
No, not there!
Jun hurriedly looked around for help.
“Excuse me! It’s the boss room!”
“… Tsk!” “Tsk!” “Hmph!”
Fortunately, heaven did not abandon him.
