Chapter 522 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 8

The day after purchasing the weapon.

She left after swearing all sorts of things, but it seems she wasn’t so humiliated as to quit the party. She joined the party without any hesitation.

However, she did not appear as friendly as before. The sword she wielded still blocked the gap revealed by her Dojin, but no words came out of her mouth to contest her friendship with her Dojin.

Very businesslike. It seemed like they were just using it as a means to achieve the goal of seeing the end of the dungeon.

“─I go first.”

Immediately after the hunt is over. After receiving her payment, Sayoung took her money and immediately left. As this continued for two or three days, Orion also felt the severity and expressed his apologies to Dojin.

“I’m sorry, Leader. I said something for no reason…”

“No. Why is it because of you?”

“If I hadn’t said that before, the leader wouldn’t have said that…”

“Are you okay. Orion, I don’t even think it’s your fault. There is no big problem in clearing the dungeon right away.”

“But…”

Although Do-jin said so, she also thought that she had to solve this problem somehow. There didn’t seem to be any major problems right now, but I wasn’t sure that there would be no problems forever.

Being businesslike means having no ties. And an organization without a sense of solidarity does not last very long. This is even more so in a dungeon where your life is at stake.

What if you make a business-like decision at a critical moment when your life is at stake? What if one of the party members decides that it is beneficial to abandon one person?

If you give up the miracle that everyone can live through solidarity and only make rational decisions at every moment, you will never achieve your goal. The purpose is to see the end of the dungeon.

Isn’t this something that no one has ever achieved and is known to be impossible to achieve? There may come a moment when we have to rely on the power of miracles and coincidence rather than reason and rationality.

‘To prepare for that time, this is…’

It wasn’t a good thing.

I have to do something.

It is my role as a leader.

* * *

“Sayeong.”

“… “What is it?”

“I have something to tell you. “Let’s have a drink.”

After the hunt is over.

Do-jin caught Sa-young trying to leave alone again and asked her out for a drink. It was an arrogant attitude, as if he would not accept rejection. Recognizing this, Sayoung let out a laugh and glared at Dojin.

“H-Why? “Why don’t you just go to Tteokchon?”

“I’ve never been to a place like that, and I have no intention of going.”

“Then what? Are you talking to me because it seems easy because I am a beastman? “After you said that a while ago?”

“Because I have something to say about that. Follow me.”

“How many times do I have to say I don’t like it─.”

“—Sayeong.”

At that moment, Sayoung unconsciously placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. Because her force, as sharp as her sword, shot towards her. She looked at Dojin in shock and frowned, wondering what he was doing.

However, Do-jin still maintained a sharp attitude and opened her mouth.

“If you keep refusing to talk like this. “I have no choice but to exclude you from the party and hunt down the other members.”

“… Joy. “You’re going to kick me out of the party just because I didn’t treat you once?”

“I have something to say about that, so please follow me. So. What are you going to do?”

She couldn’t help but accept Do-jin coming out like this. She also liked Dojin’s skills. After she was kicked out of the party, even if she looked for another party, there was no guarantee that she would be able to meet another person of that level.

In the end, Sa-young followed Do-jin to her bar. An evening as the sun goes down. Soon, when the sun completely sets and darkness covers the world, adventurers and workers who survived this day flock to all kinds of stores.

Dojin and Sayoung also joined the procession and naturally headed to the bar.

“… “What about Orion?”

“I went first. “He said it wasn’t his place today.”

“Is that so-?”

Sayoung, who smiled unconsciously, covered the corner of her mouth and looked at Dojin. Fortunately, Dojin wasn’t paying attention to her.

It was an indifference that I normally resented so much, but at this moment, I felt fortunate to have it.

The two people who sat down and glared at each other in silence, receiving both guidance from the clerk and harsh looks.

“…”

“…”

It seemed like Do-jin was about to start talking, but he didn’t say a single word when he entered the store. He opened his story with a word to the clerk who came to take his order.

And when the alcohol came out, there was only one word.

“Drink.”

“You said you had something to talk about? Let’s just talk and end it.”

“Why. Are you afraid of losing?”

“… What are you talking about?”

“Ta-da.”

Sayoung sighed as she saw Dojin recklessly attacking her, clinking her glasses together and taking a gulp of her drink. She took a quick sip and thought about putting it down, but when she saw Do-jin gulping down the drink in one go, she didn’t think to put down her hand first.

If that was the case, as Do-jin said, it looked like he was running away because he was afraid of losing.

As soon as he finished his drink, Do-jin immediately called the clerk and ordered another drink. The alcohol that came out like that was also a one-shot.

Jump, jump─.

It’s not a very strong alcohol, but after gulping down more than three glasses in a row without any snacks, the alcohol begins to slowly build up. Sayoung looked at Dojin with her slightly closed eyes. Surprisingly, Dojin showed no signs of drinking at all.

‘Also… ‘This bastard, there’s something there.’

Sayoung wiped the alcohol off her mouth and glared harshly at Dojin as if telling her to speak slowly. Do-jin glanced at Sa-young’s face and cautiously opened her mouth as if it was time.

“I’m sorry.”

“… “What?”

“At that time. She said that carelessly. Well… “I did it because I didn’t know much.”

“I said I did it because I didn’t know much… ? How could you not know that?”

“Because that’s how I learned it.”

Do-jin said this and talked about the environment in which he grew up. He said he was the best prosecutor in the country. He was raised by his father, who was recognized as a human cultural asset.

His father had no intention of raising him as an ordinary man.

His father treated Do-jin’s body as if it were an experiment, and as a matter of course, he was trained to suppress his sexual desires and deal with the world of beauty.

Sayoung, who listened to everything Dojin said, was indignant.

“W-what kind of bastard is there!?”

“Because there are so many people in the world.”

“It’s not a problem that can be brushed aside like that! “No matter how much he is your father, he is human trash. That’s—!”

“I think so too.”

“You…”

Too indifferent.

Looking at Do-jin’s calm expression, as if he had completely suppressed his emotions, Sa-young realized that his condition was more serious than she thought.

So, that’s what Dojin said to her. It wasn’t that he was indifferent or overly familiar with women—it was that he realized that it might have happened because that sense itself had disappeared.

“… So? I know you grew up in that environment. That and what you said to me. What does it matter?”

“I have been trained to control my sexual desires. Because I don’t think you are like that. This meant that if it was difficult because it was in heat, I could relieve it as a party companion. Oh, of course I’m not selfish. I was taught not to get excited by any woman…”

“No, if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to exercise restraint? You put it on and do something like that. What kind of torture is that… And if you don’t, how will you continue the succession?”

“Complete abstinence is not recommended because it leads to an imbalance in male hormones. “For the successor, the sperm has already been frozen, so if necessary, an artificial uterus can be created.”

“Male… What? What is an artificial uterus…”

Sayoung, a medieval fantasy fan, was being bombarded with modern scientific knowledge that she could not understand. Sayoung, who could not understand what Dojin was saying, suspected that he was making fun of her.

They ignore me because I am an uneducated beast from the plains. But there was no mischief on his face. Even now, when I’m heavily drunk. Even though it seems like a joke, it doesn’t feel like a laugh.

In that case, there was a high possibility that everything said above was true. All those stories that didn’t seem like jokes…

“… Well, okay. Anyway, I understand why you said that to me.”

“Apology, will you accept it?”

“I still don’t like the fact that I just said that, but… I guess you can understand. Good.”

Sayoung said that and held out her glass. Do-jin also met his glass. The reconciliation ended with the two glasses clinking together and the drinks being gulped down.

Sayoung, who drank alcohol, remembered something she had missed asking before saying it.

“Now that I think about it, if you’ve been trained in the beauty world, you must have a lot of experience with women.”

“No. “Never.”

“… What? Why?”

“They say my buds are yellow or something… “I heard that if you have experience with women before you become a sword, you shouldn’t because you will fall down a different path.”

“… So what now? “Is it the sword or something? You said it with your own mouth, right?”

“They say that a sword that has eliminated all five lusts and desires wants a woman, which is proof that it is not a sword.”

In other words, his father had no intention of letting him experience women. Sayoung swallowed her saliva at Dojin’s words. In other words, doesn’t that mean he’s still an inexperienced cherry boy?

In that case, your virginity doesn’t seem that strange. If it’s your first time over there, it doesn’t matter if it’s your first time here.

Suddenly-. After drinking alcohol, Sayoung percusses! She slammed her drink down on the table and looked at Dojin.

“That, that, that… I think I’m drunk. Should we go back now?”

“Okay.”

“Well, well, go first. “I’ll just drink a little more and then go.”

“Is it okay if I don’t take you there?”

“Well, don’t worry, just go first!”

Hearing Sayoung’s angry words, Dojin carefully went up to the second floor. The second floor of this bar was Dojin’s lodgings. Sayoung, who was watching him go up, concentrated her hearing to see which room Dojin was entering, and then carefully headed to the counter.

“─2, on the second floor. Lost her keys. Second room from the right…”

“Yes? There was a male customer… Oh, now that I think about it, we were drinking together just a moment ago… Aha- I see?”

“W-what are you thinking!? “Give me the keys quickly!”

“Yes, please return the keys tomorrow?”

Looking at the clerk’s sly expression, Sayoung carefully handed over the keys. Tak – After receiving the key, Sayoung immediately went up to the second floor.

In front of Dojin’s room door. When I opened this door, Do-jin was in front of it. And she was there─.

‘What are you hesitating about? ‘Cowardly bitch.’

Suddenly-! Open the door and jump inside.

Perhaps thinking it was a surprise attack, Do-jin hurriedly gets up from the bed. Surprisingly agile movements for someone who is sleepy and drunk.

However, he could not overcome the projection that had already anticipated such a reaction.

“Haa, haa-.”

“… Projective? How do we get here-.”

“It’s loud.”

It’s hot.

My whole body is burning hot.

It is a reaction unique to beast humans during estrus.

“This is your first time, right?”

And female beastmen never lose sight of their prey.
