Chapter 50 – The Most Beautiful in This Universe (1)

There were no hidden rooms on the 20th floor. Realizing that, I looked at the children.

“Shall we go back today?”

“Time is?”

“It’s still loose. You should be able to get to the 25th floor.”

“Shall we go then?”

The children agreed. I stepped on the stairs and climbed up. There were no monsters that could threaten us in this layer.

So up, the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd floors. Up to the 25th floor.

Upon reaching the 25th floor, I realized that the air had changed. Something changed the atmosphere.

My intuition started to single.
Moments later, something flew from beyond the darkness.

Chaeeng!

From the sparks created by colliding with the sword, I immediately knew what it was.

‘Eight?’

It wasn’t even a rubber man, and the arm that flew off went right back to its place. After discovering the monster, Seoyoon used her ability from behind to freeze the monster.

Indeed, the monster could not even resist and freeze. Her cheat ability her worked well enough in this class as well.

“Nothing.”

When Seoyoon said that and walked in front of her to pick up her magic stone her, I felt something strange about her and pulled her towards me.

Fuck!

The monster’s tongue flew out. The monster with its mouth wide open in a frozen state was rolling its eyes here and there as if it was a waste.

I hit the frozen monster’s head and shattered it. After confirming that the monster completely turned into a magic stone, he looked at Seoyoon.

“It’s okay?”

“…… Yes.”

A drop of blood flowed from Seoyoon’s cheek on her. Seeing that, Aram immediately used her powers her on her to heal her wounds her.

However, even though her wounds had healed, Seoyoon still could n’t get her body her up.

“…… Shall we go down?”

Nod

We left the dungeon, hugging the girl who couldn’t even open her mouth.

* * *

After coming out, Dojin immediately checked Seoyoon’s condition her. Her whole body was trembling, which was unusual for her usually cold-hearted woman.

“It’s okay?”

Nod

Seoyoon once again silently nodded her head silently. A moment later, having regained her composure, she blankly looked up at her sky and opened her mouth.

“…… I will do it here.”

“What?”

“Going up.”

Earlier, she said. She said she had no intention of seeing the end of the dungeon. At that time, Do-jin hurt her heart her, but she didn’t bother to convince her.

Because she wasn’t used to fighting in the first place. She just wields her abilities her with whatever she has.
Soldiers who have undergone combat training often suffer from PTSD, but what about her, who was just a high school girl?

But she tried to convince her this time. She was too close to her ability to let her give up on her own.

“Still…… Your abilities still work.”

“Nevertheless, I got hit. Now I can’t move forward with my own abilities.”

“However…….”

“Do Jin-ah. Do you know why I said I would climb the dungeon?”

“…… Why?”

“Because it is safe.”

She said and smiled slightly. It was an emotionless smile that only raised the corner of her mouth.

“With my skills, I can make money safely and easily without getting hurt. That’s why I went in Under rational judgment.”

Indeed it was. Until now, there had never been a time when her powers she didn’t work, and she slaughtered monsters indifferently like a machine.

You can’t call it a battle. Even calling it a massacre was ambiguous. You should literally call it work.

Even a high school girl who has lived a life far from fighting can do it if it is simple.

“But not anymore. I…… It’s like a fight in the first place…….”

“…… Okay.”

Do-jin understood her heart. She didn’t even have to read minds. Fascinated by her mighty ability to her, she didn’t even think about the fact that she herself was a delicate high school girl until a few months ago.

He looked at the other two and talked.

“The two of you? If you want to give up too, do it here. As Seoyoon said… There is no guarantee that you will never get hurt in the future.”

“…… Me, then me too.”

Aram raised his hand. Dojin nodded her head saying that she understood. In the first place, the ability she possesses is one that is difficult to use inside her dungeon.

Just like on the 10th floor, it was just embracing the injuries of teammates instead.

Rather, it was psychologically more comfortable for her to wait in a safe city.

“Are you Eunha?”

“…… I’m okay.”

“Are you really going to be okay?”

“Because I don’t know how to do anything other than this anyway. That doesn’t help much…….”

Her answer her moved Do-jin, but Do-jin silently nodded her head.

In the first place, women were not genetically favored in fighting. Moreover, a galaxy that is almost half smaller than others is even more so.

It wasn’t a good move for her to show a liking for being involved in her fight her.

“Then, go back today and rest, Seoyoon, you…… Shall I come see you later?”

“…… Uh.”

“Okay, see you later.”

Saying that, Do-jin left the three of them and headed to the guild. In the guild, Pion did not welcome him and tilted her head.

“Eh, Dojin-nim? What are you doing…… ?”

“…… Why?”

“The atmosphere is a bit…… Do you have a feud with your teammates?”

Thinking that she was quick-witted, Do-jin realized that she had been working in the guild for many years and had met all sorts of adventurers and her group her.

She remembered that she would have faced many problems while working, and that her adventurers would have asked her or her guild her for her help her.

Do-jin, who was in trouble for a while, revealed to her the truth about being in her team. When she was told that Seoyoon and Aram, the powerful skill holders, would quit their adventurer jobs, her expression hardened for a moment, but she nodded her head in understanding.

“I see, such a problem…… “

“Is there any way?”

“What method?”

“Something like a way for the two of them to come back to the dungeon.”

“Do-jin. I think you’re misunderstanding something…… There is no way to force adventurers into our guild. Even more advanced adventurers…….”

“Is that so…”

Seeing Dojin’s expression, Pion smiled and gave him advice.

“What…… People who have retired as adventurers in the first place do not come back easily.”

“Okay?”

“Yes. Retirement in the first place…… It means that you can no longer go on adventures. Whether it’s a health problem or a mental problem……”

“Yes.”

“What kind of problem is Dojin-nim worried about in the first place?”

“…… What is the problem?”

“Yes. In my view…… Dojin-nim doesn’t seem to see other people giving up on adventures as an issue…….”

Do-jin, who heard Pion’s words, stopped for a moment and stared blankly at Pion, as if she had an epiphany running through her head.

After a while, after thinking, Dojin slowly opened his mouth.

“…… Yes, it is.”

“I can’t reinstate the adventurers who chose to retire, but if it’s another problem, I think we can solve it somehow?”

“For example?”

“For example……If the problem Dojin-nim is worried about is whether he can climb the dungeon alone.”

Peon took a deep breath and met his eyes.

“Dojin-nim can raise his colleagues himself.”

It’s easy, right?
Seeing her grinning, Dojin also thought it was a good idea to consult.

* * *

Returning to the mansion, I headed straight to Seoyoon’s room. I knocked on her door and she told me to come in quietly and I carefully opened the door.

Seeing her sitting on her bed hugging her leg on one side of her, I approached her cautiously.

I sat on her bed and looked at her, feeling the light touch of her skin.

“What are you planning to do when you retire?”

Hearing my words, she was slightly surprised and asked back.

“What? Retirement?”

“Uh, adventurers. I’m quitting…… ?”

“When did I?”

Seoyoon tilted her head as if she had never been like that before. Seeing that, I wondered if what had happened before was my mistake, so I glanced at her head at the same time.

“…… Didn’t you say you can’t go up anymore?”

“Yes. You said you wouldn’t go upstairs.”

“That means quitting…… No?”

“Not really.”

Seoyoon’s words were as follows. She gave up on raiding dungeons. That is, to go up to the 25th floor or higher.

I have no intention of stopping dungeon exploration.

“Why am I quitting this job? There is no other way to live without this.”

After listening to her words, I thought about it for a moment. She said she was quitting hunting, she never said quitting work.

And she’s never hunted before. From her point of view her, everything she has done so far has been nothing more than a series of tasks.

“…… Then to the dungeon.”

“Keep going. Oh, I’ll go with you until the middle. Please take good care of me.”

“Ah, yes.”

Then the next day, I slowly read her thoughts to see if her heart was hurt.

“Are you okay with your injuries?”

“It’s okay. I’m already healed.”

“You were so trembling back then?”

“…… I’m just a little surprised.”
—I mean, I couldn’t see anything scary by myself in the first place.

“Ah…… Okay?”

As I read her thoughts, I realized something unexpected. Realizing that she had no physical or mental problems, I pulled her up and left her room.

Koo Woo-wook.

“…… Where?”

“No, now I go to my room…….”

“Have you come all the way here?”

“…… It hasn’t fallen off yet.”

“Then we can do it longer.”

“The kids will all come back soon.”

“It’s okay. Soundproofing is easy.”

Ha ha, I let out a light sigh as I slowly pulled her by the hand and fell onto her bed. Her cold body Her from overuse of her powers Her was hot like a ball of fire.

* * *

[Sister Iris. Can I hear an explanation of this expenditure?]

“God will.”

[… ] … Did you order useless interference with the Magic Tower?]

“God will.”

[You’re not quarreling with me, are you?]

“Then God wills that too.”

Sigh, the saintess smiled and chatted with the pope beyond the crystal ball. The pope trembled for a moment, then let out a small sigh so that it could not be heard.

[Please note that God’s word does not only reach you.]

“You talk like an ex-girlfriend who was dumped, Pope.”

[… ] … Where did you learn that frivolous tone?]

“I learned everything from the wonderful Pope.”

[Hey! You…….]

Pop.

The saintess interrupted her communication before the pope’s loud nagging continued. Charlotte, who was watching the scene beside her, looked at her saintess with her worried expression on her.

“Are you okay? His Majesty the Pope and…….”

“How are you? Now I’m a saint On the contrary, don’t you think that the fact that the saintess from the previous generation has been taking the position of the pope for too long?”

Saying that, the saintess received reports from Charlotte. It was mainly a report on Dojin.

Upon hearing her report her, the saint threw herself on her bed and took off her tattered nun’s uniform to her. She threw off her stuffy veil, gloves, and stockings. In an instant, she was in her underwear on her, and as she rolled on her bed, she told Charlotte what she was thinking.

“Lotte.”

“Yes. Holy Maiden.”

“When you see it, do you think I’m doing something wrong?”

To those words, Charlotte couldn’t answer easily. There’s nothing good about saying you’re wrong. If you knew that you were so good or so wrong, what would you have done without stopping it? It was obvious that I would only hear such stereotypical sounds.

But just praising him for doing well here wasn’t the virtue of a good servant.

She hesitated about how to answer, but she didn’t think that the way she was worried was an answer in the first place.

“Ugh, yes. I raised my child wrong…… “

“…… I am not the daughter of a saint. Haven’t you ever had sex with a man before?”

“You don’t know about virgin conception, virgin conception? You are like the daughter I cherished since I saw you at the orphanage.”

“If you are a mother like the saintess, I will refuse.”

“Eh!”

The saintess used the elasticity of her bed to get up in an instant. In an instant, her heart jumped loudly.

Then the saintess, who raised her body her, hugged her by one leg and met her eyes her with Charlotte.

“If I had made the wrong choice, the gods would have punished me in the first place. Could it be?”

“…… Their will is not something that can be arbitrarily judged.”

“That’s what the horse is, the horse. In the first place, even as a saint, that’s all I often hear.”

However, she was sure. Her eyes opened after communicating with the gods for a long time contained the power to read ideas.

‘I hope you grow up quickly.’

She recalled the shadow of Do-jin she saw at the festival. Unlike normal people, she was like a black hole, a shadow that swallowed everything.

A seed that is still small, but will become as large as the gods.

‘So save me. I will protect your existence.’
