Chapter 52 – The Most Beautiful in This Universe (3)

In the guild. In the reception room prepared only for advanced adventurers, I greeted lightly after confirming that all four of them had gathered.

“This is Kim Dojin. The leader of the party…… My role is the front. His specialty is swordsmanship. That is all.”

Then, I looked at the galaxy. Feeling my gaze, Eunha slowly opened her mouth.

“This is Shim Eun-ha… My specialty is taijutsu, and it’s just like avant-garde….”

“…… Raize, wizard.”

“Huh, is it my turn?”

Among them, the elf with the most overwhelming presence slowly raised his body and lowered his head.

“I am Orion from the Great Forest. His specialty is tracking, searching, disarming and setting traps, etc. Most of the things the scouts do are good.”

Her grinning, smiling smile Her was filled with the freshness of nature. As if to prove the myth that elves are a species that protects nature, the fabric she wears is absurdly friendly to nature…….

I looked at the color of her hair her running down the nape of her neck her. The color that I want to come out of nature. Brown close to silver. What did they say about that? Kotori Beige?

I remember when the Internet was in full swing with that name. After introducing ourselves, we exchanged conversations related to the battle.

Let’s say it’s me and Orion. Even though it was just the two of us talking.

“My ears are long.”

“Yes. As long as it is long, the hearing is good. Would you like to take a look?”

Orion said that and her ears flapped her. I asked as I watched her ears move on their own.

“If you have good ears, how much?”

“I see…… About 200 meters in this room. Even within the dungeon, I can hear it up to 15 meters away.”

“…… That’s great.”

The dungeon was a space where the blackout was alive and breathing. Although sound is a stronger medium than light, it did not spread as far as light.

Hearing sounds dozens of meters away in such a dungeon is not a joke, it’s not like you can even hear the sound of ants crawling.

“What is the highest recorded tier?”

“When I was on another team before, I even went up to the 23rd floor. How much he suffered because the lizardman, who couldn’t hit even one arrow, was the enemy…….”

“…… Okay, then, shall we match the sum on the 20th floor today?”

At my words, Orion smiled and nodded her head. While I was talking with her, Eunha and Raije immediately nodded to her, as if there was something they could communicate with each other.

* * *

On the 20th floor of the dungeon, Orion kept a close eye on her man named Dojin. That’s right, because the members of this party were really eccentric.

‘Three women and one man…… Is it a harem party?’

Sometimes it was like that. There was a case where a man selected only party members who were not helpful in breaking through a dungeon in order to show off his power.

If that’s the case, to quickly turn around and run away. Her gaze her did not leave Do-jin.

Snap.

At that time, the elf’s keen hearing caught the sound of footsteps coming from beyond the blackout screen. The monster also intentionally reduced the sound of footsteps so that it was not as loud as the sound of ants crawling, but even then, it could not escape the hearing of the elves.

“3 o’clock. Thirteen meters. Two. Shall we shoot?”

“Shoot.”

“Yes.”

Orion smiled and followed Dojin’s order. I didn’t care too much about being short. In the first place, it was basic common sense to shorten the words in a dungeon where every second was urgent.

Whoop!

Two arrows shot by the elf flew at the same time and shot the monster beyond the blackout screen. However, with this, he does not delusion that he has defeated the monster.

There was no way that the blackout that blocked even the waves of light and sound could not block the physical arrows. The arrow she fired with her full power must have lost most of her thrust in flight.

In other words, it was more like a provocation. Indeed, the monsters hit by the arrows were rushing toward the party in anger.

Two lizardmen with sharp tridents. As if the arrow had hit, the scales in the philtrum were broken and blood was flowing.

However, the injury was not fatal enough to affect the battle.

‘Now, how…….’

When Orion thought so and looked at Do-jin, Do-jin quickly ran out and swung his sword. It was more ignorant than I thought.

However, the result of that action was as simple as ignorance. The two Lizardmen cut by the sword were cut in two at the same time.

Orion couldn’t keep his mouth shut when he saw the two Lizardmen disappearing as they were being cut from the waist.

“No, what is this…….”

“…… It really is.”

But whether she was surprised or not, her Do-jin spread her thumb toward her as if it were amazing. Her search ability was better than she thought.

“In this way, there is no need to shoot arrows. Rize. How many seconds does it take to prepare the magic?”

“…… It’s a bit hard to deal with kids like this. About 10 seconds.”

“Ten seconds, then that’s perfect.”

After calculating Lizardman’s stride speed and Orion’s search range, Dojin ordered them.

“Then Orion, if you find a monster, tell me right away…… Ryzen, as soon as you find out, you chant magic. And when they approach, they shoot straight away.”

“No, me. Dojin… ? I have a question…”

“What is it?”

“That……Why does she bother to use magic when she can cut monsters with a single sword? Is it necessary?”

Do-jin, who heard Orion’s question from her, looked at her with an expression asking if there was such a stupid question. She then gave her answers to her questions.

“Because I can’t solve everything alone forever.”

“…… What is that?”

“If I cut down all the monsters by myself, I’ll eat all the experience points the party will get. Oh, do you understand even if I explain it like this?”

“So, you want your teammates to level up?”

“Answer.”

I couldn’t understand. Leveling up was a miracle that everyone wanted, an act that everyone was eager to have.

This man regarded it as just a means. Like a tool to serve her own purpose…….

“…… Come to think of it, she didn’t hear the purpose. Why did you make the party?”

Dojin, who heard that, briefly met eyes with Raizena Eunha. The three of them talked about something with their eyes, then nodded and opened their mouths.

“I hope to see the end of this dungeon.”

“The end of the dungeon…… ?”

“Yes. It may or may not be, but it is a foolish goal.”

Do-jin’s dream was a goal that no human being should dream of. A gigantic goal that even elves living in eternal life cannot easily accomplish.

“That’s an interesting goal.”

At the same time, it was a goal enough to attract her. An elf named Orion can become infatuated with a human named Dojin…….

She brought her hands together to her chest and cupped her own breasts. It was the traditional etiquette of the elves. It means that I want to agree with you.

“Can I join that goal too?”

“Sure.”

And of course, there was no reason for Do-jin to reject him.

* * *

“Now, this is the money I earned from hunting today, divided into 4 parts. Take it.”

“This much……? It was a temporary party to match the sum?”

Orion couldn’t help but be astonished at her when he saw the pocket that Dojin handed her. There were quite a few monsters we hunted today.

She found a monster dozens of meters away, and the monster she found was instantly killed by Rize’s magic as soon as she approached.

Even after Raise’s magical power ran out, Dojin himself swung his sword and slaughtered the monsters.

But I never thought that half a day’s income would turn into gold. How much more, isn’t this money the amount of gold coins earned by the party divided into 4 equal parts?

‘Enough of this…….’

Even an elf who was insensitive to money couldn’t help but roll his eyes at this amount of gold coins. This was enough to waste dozens of expensive arrows on every hunt.

“Well, can the party trying to see the end of the dungeon just suffer for money? Take this for granted.”

“Ah, yes….”

Orion heard that and saw Dojin again. Traditionally, a capable male is a way to excite females.

“Hey, leader. I earned this much today… It’s the first day the party was formed. How do you feel?”

She said, lifting her purse. I meant to shoot. A drinking party with elves. Do-jin wanted to respond to that, but his body was already half his.

“Sorry. I have an advance. Let’s do it together next time.”

“…… Ah yes. I guess so? A man like a leader.”

“Haha, then next time in this place.”

“Yes. See you next time.”

Saying that, Dojin broke up with Orion. After that, he escorted Raise to the magic tower, and walked along the main road alone with Eunha.

On the way to the mansion, the galaxy was as quiet as a dead mouse. So much so that she often had to turn her head to see if she was following properly.

In front of the mansion. Eunha said to Dojin.

“I didn’t do anything today.”

“Yes?”

“I couldn’t catch any monsters or protect anyone. It’s useless. Me.”

After hearing what Eunha said, Dojin felt a little annoyed and responded kindly.

“What are you talking about, I couldn’t have moved forward without you. Knowing that you were behind me, I was able to move forward without worrying about anything.”

“…… Really?”

“Well, really.”

Do-jin finished his words and went straight into the mansion. After a while, Eun-ha looked at the front gate of the mansion hesitantly and followed Do-jin inside.

* * *

After taking a bath in the bathroom, I went back to my room and laid down on the bed to recover from fatigue while organizing what I was going to do next.

‘Is it the day after tomorrow when the second issue of the newspaper comes out… Then, tomorrow, I will go to the dungeon with Seoyoon to collect magic stones…… The day after tomorrow, I will visit Ilone once…….’

There was a lot to do. There were so many. Besides the things that come to mind right now, there are a lot of things to solve.

That fact made me a little tired. There was no need for this on Earth. The day passed by just doing what others told me to do.

But now? In order to buy sand tomorrow, I had to run today. I had to decide for myself where to run and how long to run.

I had to worry about falling while running, and I had to worry about running again after falling, but…… It was a reality that I couldn’t do that because I was worried about running right away.

‘It’s ironic that I feel more alive now.’

A day on Earth didn’t feel real. Regardless of whether he was faithful or not, he was someone’s tool and rolled like a cogwheel in the world.

Now it is very faithful. It is my will that moves me, and what I roll is the bridle of the world.

‘I need to sleep….’

I can’t sleep because these thoughts keep coming back to me. I can’t do it, I meditated lightly and prepared to sleep.

Smart.

“…… Who is it?”

-It’s me.

“Come in.”

Then, an unfamiliar voice came from outside. Kahi opened the door and came in. Kahi, who entered with her wavy hair twisted, tried to avoid eye contact with me as much as possible.

“What’s up?”

“…… I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Request? What.”

I thought he was trying to tell me to buy the clothes or jewelry he wanted. However, after hesitating for a long time, the request she spat out was not of that level.

“I want to become an idol.”

“…… Idols? What idol?”

“You guys even made a newspaper. So if you want to be an idol, can’t you do it?”

While saying that, Kahi asked us to find a way for her to become an idol. It was an absurd statement, but there was such a determination in her eyes.

“Why are you telling me that?”

“…… Deokgu guy, because you are our captain. Ask permission from you.”

“What is the captain?”

I understood the Deokgu guy’s heart. She knows it’s not right between her and me, and she’s trying to make it work this way.

Conflicts between the two are not easily resolved unless one of them bows down first.

That’s why Deokgu made me her upper hand her to make it easier for Kahi to bow her head.

“Ok, fine. I mean, I want to be an idol.”

“…… Yes.”

“Then write a business plan by this week.”

“…… What?”

“Where will I perform, who will I show it to, and how many audiences will I be able to gather?”

What is an Idol?
A singing goddess?
Wrong.
An idol is an illusion created by the media.
It is a specter after money.

“What are you doing? Investigate quickly.”

Hearing this, Kahi frowned and left the room.

* * *

Eun-ha, who was heading to her own room her, found Ka-hee coming out of Do-jin’s visit her.

She was walking toward her room her, as if enraged by something about her her, but to Eunha, it looked just like a woman coming out of her room after receiving her entertainment her.

‘Already three….’

Eun-ha carefully looked at Do-jin’s visit her. She has a keen eye for her she is very fast She’s been through a life of being beaten if she’s not paying attention.

And as she could see, Do-jin had already touched a woman who was half of her party her.

That’s not enough, so even the locals of the other world…….

‘The reason you don’t touch me is because I’m not good enough…….’

It was very sad. Had she rather openly revealed her desires her, she would have given her security her very simply by giving her body her to the galaxy.

Not knowing when she would be abandoned was the thing she feared more than anything else.

‘What should I do….’

Her pupils are slowly dying.
The half-dead Dongtaenun stares at Dojin’s door and goes back to his room.
