Chapter 517 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 3

I needed a colleague.

A trustworthy colleague.

‘It’s not okay for me to speak first.’

There was one thing that was most important when looking for a colleague. It is trust and credibility. You can’t just put a random city manager in the place of a comrade who should be fighting alongside you in a dungeon.

I needed at least a certified partner who cared about honor and trust. The problem is that I don’t have the credibility to hire someone like that.

‘It’s like being dropped on a completely distant planet, with no relatives, let alone family. …’

Let’s say you leave everything, your family, your friends, and go abroad. Can that person know the pain that has no connection? No. In Korea, no matter which country you go to, there is bound to be an embassy, ​​and you can find Koreans among tourists visiting that country.

You can find connections with people from the same country in unexpected places. Love is not something that can be easily shaken off.

But what about yourself? There isn’t a single person I really know or can easily form a relationship with. In a world like this, the only thing I can trust is my own body, but it turns out that even that is not invincible.

‘What should I do…? …’

Fortunately, there was an organization that specialized in these situations. It was an adventurer’s guild. When Pion heard Do-jin’s concerns, he worried and sighed as if it were his first job.

He decided to save his comrades, but what happens when he hears that it will be difficult to save trustworthy people? I burst out laughing.

“You’re finally thinking of saving your comrade! Don’t worry! Our adventurer guild is a group for situations like this!”

“That… “You’re going to save my comrades?”

“Yes! Of course! Our adventurer’s guild also works with party arrangement to introduce adventurers to the right place! If you tell us who you want, we will quickly introduce people who meet your needs…”

Even while listening to Pion’s words, Dojin couldn’t be happier. Since they were introduced by the guild, the gangsters who were worried would not come, but whether they were trustworthy colleagues was another matter.

Because it was people who could show a different side in extreme situations where their lives were at stake.

However, you can’t ask them to select even that. Dojin wanted at least someone who wouldn’t run away after seeing a monster.

“─As someone who wants to see the end of this dungeon.”

“Yes? What is that…”

“The conditions. “Please be the person who wants that.”

After hearing Dojin’s request, Pion limped as if he was in trouble, but he had no intention of changing these conditions. My goal is to see the end of the dungeon.

So he gets the treasure at the end and returns home.

Leaving Pion in trouble, Do-jin returned to his lodgings. And the next day. After hearing from Fion that recruitment of her colleagues was over, she headed to the guild again.

“… Pion. “What about these people?”

“Yes! It was really hard to find! “We are colleagues aiming to finish the dungeon requested by Dojin!”

“No, that’s not it.”

There were non-human beings sitting there.

Only then did Dojin realize again that he had fallen into this fantasy world.

* * *

Upright-.

The ears, which are too long to be considered human ears, sway back and forth. If you had seen it from Earth, you would have thought it was made of alien makeup.

As Do-jin looked at the ears with curiosity, the owner of the long ears glared at Do-jin as if he was displeased.

When I look around awkwardly, I see a woman sitting there too, with unusual pupils that cannot be found on Earth. She had eerie eyes that were reminiscent of snake eyes and the scales that sprouted around them.

“… Can I introduce myself first? It’s Dojin.”

“It’s Orion.”

“Sayeong.”

The one with longer ears was Orion, and the one with snake eyes was Sayoung.

Do-jin, who was looking at the two non-human beings, cautiously opened his mouth.

“It’s my first time seeing people like you… Is it common here?”

“… Is this your first time seeing an elf?”

“This is my first time hearing this.”

“It’s fascinating. “If you lived in this city, it wouldn’t be that rare to see an elf.”

Orion looked at Dojin curiously, saying that it was her first time seeing an elf. Do-jin, who was tired of explaining that she had been on Earth for a while and that she had only been in this city for a little over a month, looked at Sa-young.

Sayoung frowned as if she was bothered to explain.

“It’s a snake beast. “If you keep pestering me, I’ll kill you.”

“Hmm.”

As she said, Do-jin passed by Sa-young, who seemed to have a dirty personality, and continued to introduce himself while looking at the two people in turn.

“As I said before, it’s Dojin. His specialty is a sword. You could say it’s avant-garde.”

“I know how to set up and identify scouts and traps, and I also know how to shoot a bow.”

“My specialty is swordsmanship. “It’s the vanguard.”

“Two in the front line and one in the back…? … I think it would be good to have at least one more rearguard.”

Two prosecutors and one scout. If it was okay, it was okay, but if it was lacking, it was a poor combination. When I suggested this to Pion, she scratched her cheek as if she was troubled.

“Sorry. There are no more people who want to see the end of the dungeon… “If it’s a short-term subscription, how can I get it?”

“… Then, first try it with this member. If it doesn’t work, I’ll ask you again.”

“Yes! Oh, and if you achieve results, I can also recommend a wizard! Please cheer up!”

“Achievement?”

“If you pass level 30 or higher!”

There are 30 layers.

Dojin set his immediate task as reaching the 30th tier. I don’t know what floor the end of the dungeon is, but floor 30 was ultimately just an area you passed through to get to the end of the dungeon.

Dojin, who nodded, is an essential item. So, I grabbed a few potions and a dungeon escape scroll and headed to the dungeon.

First, it was time to get the colleagues together.

* * *

“Kick, kick-.”

The sound of a monster crying can be heard in the distance. When Orion, who discovered the monster, sends a signal, Sayoung quickly runs away.

Dojin, who was watching her back, ran after her. Did she say she was a prisoner? She was so fast that it was hard to believe she was human.

Sayoung, who ran faster than an Olympic gold medalist doped with various drugs, swung his sword at a monster standing in the distance.

“It’s so bad!”

As she swung her sword, it curved back and forth like a snake, literally shearing off the standing monster.

The monster, with its flesh torn off, and its muscles clearly exposed, groaned in pain and swung its weapon at them.

“Slow!”

However, Sayoung did not suffer from that kind of scrambling. Monsters that had not mastered her martial arts could not land a single attack on her. The walking method is different.

In the end, by the time Dojin arrived, the monster, which had lost too much blood, had collapsed, and Sayoung, who defeated the monster alone, looked at Dojin and Orion with an energetic expression.

“What is this? “You guys aren’t helping, are you?”

“Don’t run out alone. Because it’s hard to keep up.”

“What are you saying-! I want you guys to run until you have sweat rashes on your butts and catch up with me! “You have to do something!”

Anyway, things don’t help ─ Looking at Sayoung muttering to herself, Dojin pulled out her sword without saying a word.

Sa-young, who saw this, raised her sword to face him, asking if she wanted to try it. Do-jin passed by Sa-young and stabbed her with her sword.

“Keeeeek-!”

“… And be always aware of your surroundings in the dungeon.”

Sayoung flinched at the monster that appeared behind her and glared at Dojin, who passed by without notice and stabbed her with her sword.

Do-jin, who brushed off her blood from her sword, faced her, asking if there was anything wrong, and Sa-yeong also faced her and opened her mouth.

“You… No. Okay. “You have to be careful.”

“It’s pointless…”

Sayoung, who was moving her lips to say something, shut her mouth and quickly turned her body away. Dojin, who was watching the scene, immediately lost interest, and Orion, who was watching the clash between the two closely, smiled.

Then, he quietly clung to Dojin and spoke to her.

“If it continues like this, I have nothing to do and that’s fine. Isn’t that right, leader?”

“Leader?”

“Yes. Since they recruited us, they are the leaders. Please take care of me in the future.”

The position of leading others. It was a position most people would want to be in, but not for Dojin. Do-jin knew very well that he was not a person who could be a leader.

Because the sword was not something that wielded someone, but something that was wielded by someone.

A sword that thinks and moves on its own. No one would want that. Dohun, who taught him, must have thought so too.

‘The sword just waits to be swayed by the times and praises itself…’ … I said so.’

Do-jin, remembering his father’s words, burst into laughter. Thinking that this was not something someone born in the peaceful 21st century would say, Dojin joined forces with Sayoung and Orion again.
