The Tutorial Is Too Hard

“You've packed so much, Yong Yong. ”

용용이 did not answer and just laughed.

It was strange.

The backpack carrying dragons must be full of spatial distortion magic.

That bag is packed. How much do I have to put in it to make it breathtaking?

“You want me to put it in your room? ”

“Yes.”

I guess I've seen a lot of strange things on Earth for the first time.

용용이 Previously, if there was something strange or new to see, I put it in my room one by one.

“Hey, but wouldn't you rather be on Earth? ”

I asked Min Hyuk Kim.

In fact, there is no reason for Kim Min Hyuk to follow the 60th floor at all.

“No, I'm going to spit. I'm gonna go down there and take a dive. ”

It seems to have caused too much stress for Kim Min-hyuk.

I try to dive in or avoid work the last time I get a chance.

“Let's put the soup in my subspace. I'm freezing.”

I took the wrapped soup, rice, and dishes from Min Hyuk and put them in my inventory.

I had a chance to successfully connect with the 60th floor and meet Yeon-hee's parents before going over there.

Unlike my family, who all disappeared or died, all of Yeon-hee's family was alive and well.

He even lived a life that wasn't lacking in funding from the government.

However, they mourned that they had not seen their daughter for more than a decade.

Lee Yeon-hee's parents told me that they were going to meet Yeon-hee on the 60th floor soon, and asked her to pass on their homemade pork soup to Yeon-hee.

According to the story, the two of you used to sell pork soup, and because of this, Lee Yeon-hee ate a lot of soup when she was a child.

“Let's go when you're ready. ”

“Yes. Is there anything I should do? Take a potion.”

Kim Min-hyuk asked.

“Just sit tight like a tutorial portal. ”

Min-hyuk felt a little anxious and climbed the portal.

I also stood on the portal holding dragon's hand.

“Why, will you hold her hand, too? ”

“That's enough.”

Serena, who hesitated for a moment, took a late step up to the portal.

“Then let's move. ”

* * *

[You have reached the 60th floor.]

“Oh, is this the 60th floor? ”

Kim Min-hyuk asked.

“It's not like the normal 60th floor. ”

“Of course. I've done some remodeling. ”

Because I smashed it.

Four or five times, there was a massive rebuilding operation.

In addition, there were many other small repairs.

There are many new ones after Yong has been interested in the architecture side.

By the way.

“It's been a long time since I've been back. ”

I've only been back on Earth for two months, but I feel like I've been gone a year.

I scratched my chin.

It's a place I've worked so hard to get away from.

I never thought I'd feel like I'm back home.

“Yes! It's been a long time! ”

용용이 answered.

It's been a long time since I've been home and I feel so excited.

I felt a beating heart in the small hand of the dragon.

“Dad, I'm going to my room. ”

“Yes."

Yong was excited and flew to his room.

Should I go away?

From dragon's point of view, this is literally a house, so it could be.

“Where is Yong Yong's room? ”

Kim Min-hyuk asked.

It seems to be curious where 용용이 went.

“Hey.”

“Hello?"

“You know, the tower. ”

Kim Min-hyuk asked with a hesitant expression.

“... Is that the tower? It's a tower. Holy shit. I knew what was behind it. ”

용용이 Room is a bit big.

If you just look at it with your eyes, it may not come at all, and it may be hard to perceive.

“It's not that big, but the space distortion spell... Ceresia! Go away!”

Serenely next to her, Serenia is walking somewhere.

Ceresia disappears without an answer.

Looking in the direction, it was at the conclusion.

Ceresia has been a source of energy for a long time, in the form of a great sword.

Maybe for Cedria, the interior feels like her own room.

Ehhh.

It's been a while since I've been back on the 60th floor.

Yong-do and Sergia swooped away.

I wish Hotch was here with us.

“Let's go to my room first. ”

“Is your room like that tower? ”

“What a tower. ”

Before that, someone had to take care of it.

There's a woman staring at us, hiding in plain sight, among the buildings in the residential area.

It was Lee Yeon-hee.

“Ahjussi?... Is that really you? ”

* * *

“Uh-uh-uh.”

“Eat slowly, please. Rest up and eat later. ”

Lee Yeon-hee was literally pouring out tears like a waterfall and eating soup.

It looked sad, but on the other hand it was a bit dirty.

They're tears, nosebleeds, and they're dripping with soup.

I forcefully put the towel in Yeon-hee's hand (small handkerchiefs or paper towels were not enough to cover it), and let her wipe her face first and eat soup.

“Calm down? ”

“… Yes. ”

Lee Yeon-hee wiped her face with an elongated towel and said.

In that short amount of time, my eyes and nostrils turned very red.

“Is the soup really that good? ”

Lee Yeon-hee was anxious and scared when she saw me on the 60th floor.

Honestly, I was embarrassed because I thought it would be a bit nice to meet you.

I tried to calm down by talking slowly while eating some soup.

And as soon as Yeon-hee put the soup in her mouth, she began to cry very coolly.

“Yummy... yummy... ”

Lee Yeon-hee who was eating soup again, answering that it was delicious, began to misheat again.

This is crazy.

I placed the spoon trembling.

Yeon-hee's parents prepared enough soup for me and Min-hyuk Kim.

I was hoping for soup in a long time.

Seeing Lee Yeon-hee's fever wanting to die, my appetite ran away.

I don't know if I should just cry, but I'm crying horribly and stuffing the reverse soup in my mouth.

“It tastes so good. I now have much better food in the tutorial shop window than I do on Earth. ”

I muttered to myself.

Kim Min-hyuk, who was sitting next to me, kicked my leg.

Looking straight at it, Kim Min-hyuk turned his head and pretended not to know.

Lee Yeon-hee was a bit bitter, but on the other hand, it was a bit heartbreaking.

I was an emotion I couldn't feel.

My family's all dead or missing.

When I entered the tutorial, it was already completely out of sync.

I could understand Yeon-hee's feelings.

Not as much as I was, but Yeon-hee was also locked up for a really long time.

Alone.

It must have been harder since he got locked up on the 60th floor.

For only two months, isolated humans are not fully aware of the time flow.

In the meantime, if you taste the food that your parents used to make when you were little, you will also cry.

Lee Yeon-hee's goal was to return to Earth alive from the beginning.

I understood her because I knew how much she wanted to see her family again.

I'm sorry.

“Yeon-hee.”

I called Lee Yeon-hee, trying to make the most of my sweet voice.

Lee Yeon-hee looked at me with teary eyes, raising her head to the bowl.

“Mother's soup is good, right? ”

Lee Yeon-hee nodded.

“Thank you for bringing it to me, right? ”

Lee Yeon-hee nodded.

“Glad you decided to be my apostle, huh? If you refused, you wouldn't even be able to eat soup. ”

Lee Yeon-hee nodded.

I nodded with a big smile.

Hahaha.

“Yes, yes, eat a lot. Eat more slowly. We'll talk about it later. ”

By my side, Kim Min-hyuk looked at me with his eyes looking at garbage, but I ignored him.

This is really important.

Lee Yeon-hee was an important resource in many ways.

When you're out of your mind, it's good to score points.

“Lady, don't cry. ”

Yong Yong came up and sat on Yeon-hee's lap and patted her.

Yeon-hee Lee unknowingly hugged Yong-yong and began to cry.

Look at me.

Lee Yeon-hee, who kidnapped Yong-yong as a hostage in the contest, did nothing.

It is normal to feel awkward when you leave the results and mistakes well, even when you are embarrassed.

But when emotions get that high, my head doesn't turn rationally.

It's the patchwork of a small dragon's hand.

The warmth opens my heart.

Yong also did not panic and hugged Yeon-hee Lee tightly and patted her back.

I think you're very good at packing soup.

I was worried about how to reconcile with Yeon-hee.

I think I can move on with this.

Even though Kim Min-hyuk was looking at me with a lot of words to say next to me.

I decided to ignore it.

* * *

“At first I thought it was a hallucination. ”

“What, us? ”

“Yes……. ”

Lee Yeon-hee saw us on the 60th floor and thought she was hallucinating.

“I've been alone for so long... and I keep thinking the same thing, and I feel like I can see what I'm thinking someday..." ”

You nod.

I know what's going on.

I've been there a few times.

“Thank you. In the meantime, thank you for doing what I asked. If it wasn't for the signal you sent from here, it would have taken us a lot longer to get to the 60th floor. ”

“Yes……. ”

Lee Yeon-hee nodded.

Still, I feel a little better than when I first saw it.

“By the way, sir. ”

“Uh, why? ”

“Aren't you going to kill me? ”

I paused at that bold question.

I think I've asked you the same question before.

“Why would I kill you? ”

“... because you've used up everything? ”

The main reason for leaving Yeon-hee Lee as an apostle on the 60th floor was to easily connect the 60th floor and the earth.

Now that I've done my part, do I think I don't need myself anymore?

“If I'm worthless, do I look like someone who just kills me? ”

“Yes……. ”

It's a cold judgment.

“I even betrayed you... and I don't think I'm going to let someone turn their back on you. ”

Lee Yeon-hee asked if she would kill herself on the 61st floor.

As if it were about the moon.

But when she did, she didn't seem foolish in her life.

I was curious about her psychology.

“I betrayed you, but technically, I betrayed you first. Even if I had to, you wouldn't be able to. ”

To be honest, it was my fault more than Lee Yeon-hee's.

I anticipated, controlled, and even induced Yeon-hee's betrayal.

Of course, it didn't mean that someone had to apologize because they were more wrong.

She said she didn't want to discuss the price for her mistakes.

“I used to be an enemy. ”

And this was the most important thing.

“I won anyway, didn't I? ”

“I see.”

Lee Yeon-hee asked again.

“So you're not the enemy anymore? ”

“That's right."

Lee Yeon-hee nodded quietly.

I felt no flutter in her body without even moving.

But I could see her muscles relaxed.

There was no visible stain at all.

Obviously, Yeon-hee was also an outstanding person.

Actually, it was natural.

Even though you had my help, Hel, you climbed up to the 60th floor.

If anyone could have done it, I would have completed the tutorial 10 years ago, not two months ago.

I told Yeon-hee about my future plans.

Before, I gave him a little clue, but I never told him the truth.

“I receive tutorials from the gods. ”

Lee Yeon-hee sighed and said.

“Well... if you look at the 61st floor... I don't think it's that much of a story. ”

“Have you been there? ”

“Yes.”

I've been on the 61st floor for two months, and I think I've met my congregation.

I was alone on the 60th floor, but I met them, and they didn't seem to accept me.

“As an apostle, I wondered if I needed it. ”

That's what I would think if I saw my congregation.

Maybe that's why Lee Yeon-hee thought I would kill myself.

“I need it.”

I will receive a tutorial from the vaccine.

and will eliminate the rewind of time applied to the tutorial stage.

The dead will not be resurrected, and the destroyed land will not be restored.

That was my goal.

However, if you leave it like that, most of the tutorial stages will be destroyed immediately.

I did not intend to destroy the tutorial worlds in accordance with my principles.

I wanted to overcome the crisis and face a new future.

“That's my role. An apostle of God who will save the worlds that are about to fall. ”

“Yes, in fact, it won't be much different from the stage missions of the tutorial. The difference is, unlike before you don't have to worry about it after it's cleared, you have to keep it in mind for the future. ”

It's not a recurring time, it's a whole new future.

“I will do my best to treat you as an apostle. Once you've fully handed over the tutorial, you'll be able to go to Earth and see your family whenever you have time. Assuming, of course, you're good at your job. ”

Lee Yeon-hee asked you for a moment.

“… why me? ”

“What do you mean, it's... ”

“That's something that other people can do, even if it's not me. Can I ask why you would want me to do that? ”

I was silent for a moment.

I expected Yeon-hee to adopt a passive attitude.

However, the word 'what others can do’ should not be easily handled.

Lee Yeon-hee was an irreplaceable being that must be there for me in the past.

I put all my hopes and concerns into her.

Lee Yeon-hee also tried to meet my expectations without being too uncomfortable about it.

“Because I need you. ”

I decided to be as honest as possible.

“You're more like me than anyone else. Judging. Acting. I taught you that, but you grew up that way. So I think I can trust you with the tutorial world. I can trust your judgment there. ”

I meant it.

Her judgment did not differ much from mine.

There was a difference, but depending on the situation, Yeon-hee's judgment might have been better than mine.

I remember all the judgments Lee Yeon-hee made while going through stages.

When we first encountered creatures on the fourth floor, factions with civilizations.

When I faced despair on the sixth floor.

The first time you encountered an enemy on the 13th floor who favored you.

Sixteen floors where I met some of my weirdest, funniest colleagues.

Judgments on the 20th floor of unsavory enemies.

Stages from the 40th floor, stages from the 50th floor, and stages from the 50th floor, where I had to lead people as an apostle to defeat various kinds of monsters.

Even after the decrease in communication with Yeon-hee Lee.

Lee Yeon-hee told me a lot about how she completed the stage.

I advised him accordingly.

She remembered all of her movements in the letters, so her future judgments could be trusted.

“And most of all, ”

That's not why I'm competent.

“We had the hardest time together. ”

Although it was a conversation that I had never seen with my face, I only exchanged letters and messages.

Not every day, but every second of the day was a living hell.

I was able to see the future because I had Lee Yeon-hee.

“I will, your apostle. ”
