00167 Unexpected Encounter

That way, we were able to complete the attack on the Cave of the Talented and Mounted Mongoose. I didn't clean up the whole cave completely, but now that I've caught the boss monster and made it to the end, I can see I've done enough. The cleanup of the undead, who are still roaming around the cave, decided to leave the survey team or other users to do after the expedition report.

I've done some serious work, but not all my explorations are done yet. The most important return mission remained. Crossing the Blue Mountains, full of undead, and most of all, getting back to Mule safely means something to what the caravans have done. After all the hard work and exploration, there were also some users who lost their lives because of their greed that they had achieved their goals.

On the way home, the most talked about Chaos Mimic. According to Ansol, "Since baby mimics are so big, I'm sure Daddy and Mommy mimics will give you something bigger.” By saying that, you empathize with the group. ”You don't know what the big deal is, and you don't know the details of what the group is sympathetic to. However, I also felt like I knew what I wanted to say in the context of the front and back, so I didn't say anything else. (However, the opinion of opening the box now was completely ignored.)

I had a lot of thoughts on my way, and I organized them. What I was most curious about was the outcome of the Wanderer's Extermination Plan and the march into the Iron Mountains of the Golden Lion Clan. I wanted to quickly go back to Mule and find out how the results came out, so I didn't even know if I could make a faster move.

It was just a very ambiguous time to go back. According to the future I know, the plan to exterminate the vagabond was long gone, but the advance into the Steel Mountains was unknown whether or not it would have worked out after we returned.

I decided to relax as much as possible. It wasn't that there was no restlessness in the corner of my mind, but I didn't want to miss work in a hurry. The quicker you hurry, the better you'll be able to move forward with the quieter you have to do.

There was a lot of stuff going on right now anyway. You must obtain a certificate of achievement for the Dungeons of the Ancient Alchemists and the Laboratory of Ruins, and submit a new exploration report. It was important to keep in mind the progress, distribution, and equipment upgrades from this expedition, as well as the application for the creation of a clan. And most importantly, it was about the disposal of user solidarity.

I feel dizzy in my head and just take a breath as I think about what to do next. However, if we treat it calmly, as we thought before, we will surely be able to solve it in a good direction. So I dared to stop myself and hurried home to the town of Mullo.

Only when Mule's North Gate begins to reveal its meaning from afar, the group and I are able to exhale for relief. I turned my head for a moment and looked around, and I saw the fog and dew-covered grass. Every time, the sound of the wind passing by us was messing with my ears.

It took 10 days to arrive and 1 day to explore. As expected so far, we delayed our return by another day. I said I'd be back as soon as I could, but there was a problem with the well. The aftermath of the wound that Horrence sustained was a bit too much to fall behind.

To be honest, I had no idea at first. Somehow, the march felt a bit overwhelming, but I could tell by her giving me a little warning. (Surprisingly, the well did not give me any stains. It looks like he was walking constantly somehow.) However, I did not slow down the march, but I took the time to care about the middle well as much as I decided to relax. If I saw any distressing spots, I encouraged her to rest for a while.

The well-being became better over time, and by the 7th to 8th days, we were able to reconcile the cycle of march and rest. And on the 10th day of our return, we decided to march all night. He felt there was no greater risk as he got close to Mule, and he was able to pull back a little bit before the all-night march.

And in 11 days, we succeeded in the return of the small town Mule.

The way we're walking now has changed a bit. In the thick grasslands, bumpy, but somewhat human pavements begin to emerge. Soon after walking so steadily, a humble northern gate was slowly catching my attention. If you calculate the time taken, you return to Mule, the town in 22 days.

Since the first week of March left Mule, the current date is almost at the end of March. When I saw the guards standing steadily approaching the North Gate, I felt excited and excited for no reason.

“Welcome to the revival of our users! Angel's blessing.... ”

Soon after reaching the North Gate, two guards who were still grumpy greeted us vigorously. After a brief answer, you turn your head and see the faces of the group, each with a unified expression. I was very curious about what would happen if I asked her to go back to the Inn and train. Of course, it was my own frivolous idea.

As we stepped inside the North Gate, a quiet street welcomed us. It's dawn. There were no users to explore at dawn, unless they were in an inevitable situation like ours or crazy.

“Ah. I'm back at last. ”

“I'm going to cry. Phew.”

“Wow. Wow. ”

Since it was the toughest expedition they had ever been on, they shouted as soon as they stepped inside the city. Vivian was tapping her mouth with an elongated yawn, and her head was covered with sleepy eyes. Hayeon also tried not to look faint, but her face looked full of tired colors. And the high notes....

The moment she entered Mule, she was staring at me with a very intense gaze that I had never seen before. Dare to take his gaze, she gives a signal with a wink in one eye. And I could sense the significance of the signal in an instant. So, I quietly opened my mouth to the group who want to quickly enter the inn.

“Customize. ”

“Yes?”

“I'd like you to lead the other party. Please return to the Inn of ”

She turns away, sweeping her head over her ear. She gives me a blank expression. The same is true of the rest of the group. Everyone was wondering why I suddenly did it, but I shook my head and said,

“I need to check on you for a moment. It won't take long. ”

“But I think it would be better if you took a little break. Unless it's urgent... ”

“It's urgent, so it's better to deal with it now. ”

In my resolute words, she tilted her head. Her anxious gaze swept over me, but I delivered my will by shaking my head slightly so that only she could recognize it. When Ha-yeon saw my signal, she sighed a little later.

“Okay. If there's anything we can do to help... ”

“Don't worry, I'll help you. Go in first. ”

“Are you a user player? ”

“Yes, it needs a reputation. ”

When she stopped talking and came in, I could see her thinking. Honestly, I could hardly see how urgent it was at this hour of the morning, but when I looked for it, I couldn't help myself. Normally, she would not be able to convince me, but by hearing some of my plans, I thought it was related to him. Or you might think it's related to high performance as it's temporary.

She quickly lowers her head, looking back and forth for a while, and a small mouth creaks in a direction that is only visible to me. Be careful. I smiled lightly at her worries, and received my answer, she soon took a step towards the inn with the sleepy group.

As soon as the swings slowly disappeared beyond Mule's street, they were left outside the North Gate. After looking at me for a while, she opened her mouth, smiling beautifully.

“Shall we take a walk? Outside the North Gate, of course. ”

“Not bad, but a little in and out again. ”

When I answered her bluntly, she smiled and grabbed my arm slightly. That way, Goonju steps out of the North Gate again and starts walking, retracing the path the group set on. The awkward silence had passed for a while, but the user who opened the speech first was Choi Hyuk.

“You don't like to talk long? ”

“I don't mind if I do, but I don't want to go around. ”

“So am I. So instead of talking about spinning, I'm going to blow it up. But it might be a little long. ”

“I see what you mean. This is what I wanted. I'll listen. ”

< I will listen. > At that moment, she stopped. Suddenly, I felt like I was in a similar situation somewhere. Kim Hanbyol, Jeongyeon Jeong... Two women's faces appeared in turn, but it soon disappeared in the voice of Yeon-ryong.

“You, there are so many things that aren't quite right. ”

“Hmm.”

She lets out a murmur and tries to open her mouth, but she puts up her hands and stops me from speaking. I decided to keep listening to her.

“I'm not just talking about visible abilities. Of course, that's a lot of things you don't understand, but it's horses. But technically, I'm still just a five-year old user, so it's hard to think that I know everything. You might have special abilities like that baby.... Well, it doesn't matter if you're strong in the Hole Plane. No matter what anyone says, it's your power. You have your own personal curiosity, but you're not qualified to dig. ”

She was definitely an experienced user, so I felt that what she said was different from what Ha-yeon said. But I didn't slow down the tension. If you acknowledge external abilities like that first and enter, there is room to dig about other areas.

As I expected, Yeon-ju narrowed her eyes and said.

“You were in the third floor special room. It aims for survival and return to Earth. Survival and return. Anyone in Hall Plane would have thought about that. And then your words swayed my heart. It wasn't just the smallest words of a first-year user, it was really predicting the situation ahead and drawing a big picture. And I also showed this time that I have the ability to actually do it.... I've been thinking. If you go into the city like this and you see what happens tomorrow morning, And if it was proven that you were right, that surprise would take away the anxiety that's in your mind. ”

“I'd like to know the identity of that anxiety. ”

“The source of my anxiety is not different. It's you, Kim Soo-hyun from the 0th year, who caused my anxiety. ”

“ ……. ”

Sasha... Sasha...

The cold dawn breeze blows, and the grass trembles. I looked up at her with a hollow gaze. She wasn't looking at me. I was just enjoying the breeze with my arms spread out. Her lips, which had been in the wind for a while, are opened again.

“It's either a gut feeling from experience, or it's a woman's intuition. You're an unknown man. I let you go on this expedition, because I wanted to observe you. ”

I was getting a little frustrated. I exhaled slowly, clearing my breath. Then I opened my mouth in a calm voice.

“What about observation? ”

“I said I don't know. ”

In my question, she immediately replied. Then he tilted his head slightly.

“The first time I saw him, he was just a kind user looking after the children. But sometimes scary users who blow up my life. And then you see a dedicated user who sacrifices himself for the group. But sometimes... like a man soaked in blood, with no mercy at all. In conclusion, it is unknown whether the group is angry at the injured or simply angry at the provocation. ”

“ ……. ”

Listening to her last words breaking up one by one, I could only guess why she was talking to me just after taking care of Horrence. I felt the light exploring in my eyes was young, but all her questions were clearly words that resonated with me.

I couldn't think of anything else to say. Keeping my mouth shut, Yeon-ju slowly approached me, grabbing her back and pushing her head out. The moment I looked down, I could see her provocative eyes looking up at me. That way, she looks at you, and opens her mouth with a kind voice.

“You don't think it's the right language, do you? ”

“There's no law that says a person, a user, has to have one emotion. ”

“Yes, I do. But there's only one thing missing in your behavior. Do you know what that is? ”

“I don't know.”

“Don't be ridiculous. Consistency. If you change your face every time you do something, you're going to perceive it as a completely different person. And just so you know, it's kind of lame. ”

After stopping for a moment, she suddenly took a deep breath and opened up her distance from me. She smiles slightly at me, standing tall.

“Survival and return. Okay, I don't want to deny it. But I don't want you to try to cover up my anxiety with those sloppy words. What I'm really curious about is how deep down inside you are. ”

The wind stopped. It's quiet everywhere. I feel a strange strangeness.

“Well, can you stop answering that? ”

At some point, the distance between her and me was fairly wide. She raises her right hand and extends her finger, but bends slightly, lightly against the area of her collarbone.

And I gave him a slight nod. The moment I checked it, her fine lips slowly opened, and a soft voice echoed in the grasslands.

“Still... want to kill me?" ”
