Chapter 553 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 39

Emotions are sweet things.

All humans fall into this sweetness and lose themselves.

〈Philosopher TAITO〉

Wow… !

“It’s coming.”

A vibration so large that the ground shook. The group who felt the vibration nodded and looked into the distance. Over the hill. A monster about a dozen meters in size began to wriggle and run from beyond what was hidden by the slope.

It was a snake. A snake so large that it could be confused with a dragon at first glance. A snake that seems to have no intelligence whatsoever and just moves forward. Giant boa.

It goes without saying, but you can’t block a monster bigger than a decent truck with a single sword.

“Rise!”

“「It is a discipline that is firm and unbreakable. “Reveal its true nature and protect us!”

As soon as Rize’s chant ends, a translucent protective shield is created in front of the group. A protective shield barely large enough to cover the heads of the party.

Orion looked at Rize as if he was anxious, but Rize did not chant anymore, as if this was enough.

In the distance, a giant boa was running as if it couldn’t see the shield until it crashed into the shield and stopped.

Damn enemy—!

“Tsk-!”

-Shaaaaa!

The monster’s body that hit the protective shield instantly floats into the sky. However, even for a moment, the body that had risen to nearly 90 degrees falls to the ground.

As the body, which at first glance appears to easily weigh tens of tons, crashes to the ground, dust explodes and covers the world.

However, of course, that is not a problem either.

“Wind spirits, exclude what blocks our sight!”

As Orion shouts, the spirits floating around her move and kick up the dust from her. As the field of view opens, the appearance of a monster that hits its head and is in a drowsy state is revealed.

A giant boa standing still. A monster that didn’t move was just a big target. Do-jin and Sa-young figured out the fact and shot straight ahead.

-Sssss!

When the giant boa came to its senses late and opened its large pupils, what was reflected in its eyes were two blades stabbing into its eyes.

-Sit, shishishishit-!

“Dude!”

“Sayoung, look for an opening!”

“I know!”

As the giant boa lost sight of her, twisting her body this way and that, going crazy, Sayoung immediately climbed over her head and ran with her entire body.

As she runs with her entire body, she stabs the gaps in her scales that are exposed here and there. Sayoung’s Four Swords were not very effective against such a monster.

However, it was effective in breaking the monster’s concentration.

-SEE, SeeeeeK-!

“Where are you looking? Your enemy is here.”

When she hit the head of the giant boa that tried to turn her head, the monster, realizing that there was an enemy right in front of it, stopped chasing Sayoung and swung her head wildly at Dojin.

It’s easily over a dozen meters long. That head alone weighs at least several tons. It is impossible to spill it.

That’s common knowledge, but Dojin was shedding all the giant boa’s head. Amazing miracle. This secret technique is possible because it has reached a level that ordinary prosecutors cannot even imagine.

“Do more, do more.”

Do-jin, smiling, provoked the giant boa. Although the language did not reach the monster, the meaning contained in the words was fully conveyed.

Obvious provocation. The frenzied giant boa exploded with anger and launched itself at Dojin.

-Saaaaa!

“Yes, come!”

Just when Dojin, who was so excited, raised his sword and tried to block the Giant Boa’s path, a blazing fireball flew in from behind.

The fireball that flew in swallowing up all the surrounding air hit the Giant Boa’s face. The Giant Boa’s face began to burn brightly, and it twisted its whole body and screamed.

-Sssss!

“—Don’t play around. Finish it quickly.”

Rize, who fired the magic, chanted that at Dojin and then began chanting the magic again.

Only then did Dojin calm down his excitement, scratched his cheek sheepishly and immediately ran towards the giant boa.

The hunt ended like that. While Dojin and Sayoung are drawing attention by going through the entire body, Orion and Rise’s magic is compressing the monster’s entire body.

Very trivial and very static.

Dojin and his party took their first step onto the 45th floor.

* * *

“─Raise your hand if you want to.”

Inside the Adventurer’s Guild.

While Dojin was away to settle the bill, Sayoung looked at the other two and opened her mouth.

However, upon hearing Sayoung’s words, the two people tilted their heads as if wondering what kind of nonsense this was.

“What are you talking about? Mr. Snake Head?”

“Damn you idiot – Dojin ended up like that. Isn’t there something you can guess?”

“Hmm- I don’t know. I don’t really…”

“Nothing special happened to me either.”

Sayoung, who heard Orion and Raije’s words, burst out laughing as if it was absurd.

“So that happened naturally?”

Sayoung said that and pointed to Dojin, who was talking to Pion in the distance. Unlike usual, his face was full of laughter.

Originally, he had a cold expression without any emotion, but now he was excited, like a man who had met his lover.

“… It’s strange. “Did the leader always have that kind of facial expression?”

“It wasn’t. Who is that? Did I eat something wrong?”

“Therefore! “Isn’t it because someone among you did something to change like that?”

Sayoung complained. She herself had never done anything to change Dojin like that. At most, she just had some fun with him.

But there was no way something like that could have changed. Because this wasn’t the first time I fucked him. There was a time when we fucked together every day, but there’s no way that’s going to change now, right?

“I’m not.”

“Me neither.”

Of course, there was no way they could know why Dojin changed. This was a situation that even his father, who had raised him by his side his entire life, could not have predicted.

Who on earth could have predicted that my son, who even killed his emotions and was raised as a ‘sword’, would fall into another world, go through countless experiences, and realize emotions?

The only reason you realize your feelings is that you were robbed of a little money?

“… “Then why is he doing that?”

“Umm… Ah! No way-.”

“What?”

“You made a new sword this time. Isn’t that why?”

“That’s the only reason… ?”

After hearing Orion’s words, Sayoung let out a sigh. It was honestly a reason she couldn’t easily accept, but it was a very plausible guess that Do-jin, who was a better swordsman than her, felt happy after getting his own sword and couldn’t control his emotions.

And when people find a plausible guess, they tend to be unable to come up with another reason. Sayoung, who was only half human, was like that.

“Wherefore… Is it possible?”

“Because leaders are unique.”

“Umm…”

After reasonably understanding why Do-jin had changed, they paused as they saw Do-jin approaching from afar.

I’m not sure why he changed or what kind of change of heart he had…

When you look at that smiling face, the reason doesn’t seem that important. That was their idea.

* * *

“Oh, ouch…” …”

“You again…”

Sayoung frowned slightly as she looked at the injured Dojin. It was good that Dojin’s behavior changed. It was noticeable that he was changing positively.

However, she never imagined that the positive change in personality would have a negative effect.

The point is that Dojin began to enjoy himself when dealing with monsters.

“I told you to stop using your hands against monsters, right? Even though they look easy, they are monsters that can kill us at any time.”

“I know, but…”

“If you say anything like that or that you can’t stand his fun, I will kill you with my own hands.”

Do-jin, who heard Sa-young’s counter-threat, kept her mouth shut. Sayoung saw that and sighed. Do-jin also turned his head as if he was embarrassed when he heard that sigh.

Dojin also knew his own problems well. Since he became aware of emotions, he has often had to deal with monsters.

It wasn’t because I felt sorry for the monster or anything like that.

There is only one reason.

It was because she wanted to show off her skills a little more.

‘But… How fun it is to catch monsters while showing off Earth’s overwhelming technology.’

A primal human instinct that I couldn’t feel when I was an emotionally killing machine. Once the emotions were released, it was difficult for Dojin, who was once able to completely kill them, to easily control them.

Thanks to this, the number of injuries has been increasing day by day. If I keep going like this, I really think I’ll have to pay an invoice someday.

“If you’re going to do this, why don’t you just go downstairs and play! Dangerously on the top floor… !”

“Because there is no tension downstairs.”

“It means it’s dangerous! “You idiot!”

Seeing Sayoung getting angry, Dojin let out a heartless laugh.

She’s right. These dangerous things must stop.

It’s okay now, but one day I could have lost my life.

If you want to keep doing this.

You should at least bring an elixir that can revive the dead.

Oh, it’s not enough to use once or twice, that’s a lot.

It was an impossible task now that the manufacturing method had already been lost and everything that could be made had disappeared, and the remaining items were considered ancient heritage.
