Chapter 266 – In the Ruins (1)
#
“You guys are going in alone. I’m serious? What could be in these undiscovered ruins? It’s okay to have a symbol of a goddess. If this is a trap created by the dungeon…”
“It’s okay. You don’t have to worry too much. Our priest checked it, so well, it won’t be eaten.”
The Holy Sword also checked.
Tina’s dissuaded me several times, but I had my own reason to go in.
If it was me who was extremely safety-oriented, I wouldn’t have pushed myself into an unknown place like this, but I couldn’t ignore the fact that even an emergency quest popped up.
And never before had a goddess asked for something so directly. The holy sword even said that it was related to the [Incarnation summoning], So I couldn’t just ignore it.
A peaceful life with our children is our first priority, but sometimes we have to take risks to maintain that life.
…Coming to think of it, it seems pretty risky. I caught goblins, caught pedo, and tried to pierce the stomach.
“Still…”
“Shouldn’t you be back soon? You don’t know when the egg will hatch? What did he say? Engraving effect? Didn’t you say that was important?”
It is said that there is a phenomenon in which a creature that has awakened from an egg recognizes a face it sees for the first time as a parent, follows it around, and receives training straight away. I’m not sure if it has that effect on monsters as well as animals. Case by case.
If you don’t want to be a monster’s mother, wouldn’t she be better off going fast?
So, once you have the eggs, you must quickly hand them over to the supplier. Babies who don’t listen may lose their product value. And emotionally, it would be difficult to deal with a creature that follows you like a parent. Even if it’s a monster.
Tina clicked her tongue and nodded her head.
“Tsk. OK got it. Don’t go too deep. You’re not part of a clan, so if you don’t come back, there’s no one to look for you. Or what, do you know anyone else?”
“…”
Be fair. You might even be able to come and find it yourself. Still, it’s more realistic than empty promises.
“If it’s too late, I’ll put your share as a bounty.”
“Is it ours?”
“The reward for this quest. I think I’ll probably get quite a bit… So you’d better come back quickly before blowing it up as a bounty.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
If that’s the case, it’s pretty generous. Tina concluded her words and went on her way back.
“Okay, then let’s go inside… Let’s see… “
When she tries to enter, her feet won’t come off. It’s quite awkward to step into a place where you don’t even know what’s in front of you. Of course, that’s not the only problem…
“Mr. Eugene? Are you having any problems?”
Lenny saw me walking away and asked with a worried face.
“Ah, yes. Actually, I have something to worry about. Actually, this isn’t the first time I’ve experienced something like this.”
I started to explain.
A compulsory quest by a system that you experience only for the second time after coming to another world. The first quest was a light and playful request, but the message that popped up this time didn’t have that kind of playfulness.
Considering that the goddess is the administrator of the system soon, it is the same as saying that she will be serious from now on.
But in many ways, it doesn’t match.
The skill proposal I submitted last time was still showing up as being submitted. If it was during the review, you might think that the goddess is in trouble again, or that she is simply trying to trick me, but the fact that the submission takes a long time means that there is something wrong with communication with the goddess.
But an emergency quest pops up while there is a communication problem with the goddess? Could this be?
Is that communication possible only through skill suggestions? Is there any other way?
Ariel’s question. Of course, there is no way.
“Uh, um. Wait a minute.”
I tried swearing at the goddess a little bit.
“A petite goddess. A voyeurist. Transformation. Sadist.”
I’ve done this, but still no answer. I used to make a big fuss at her jizz for a trivial thing.
“…Yujin?”
I turned around and saw Lenny looking up at me with her drooping eyes.
“I don’t think Mr. Eugene is too religious…. I am always grateful that I was able to meet Mr. Eugene thanks to Goddess, but she is Mr. Eugene… “
Lenny’s voice was dripping with sadness as he said that.
“Yeah, he is too. Sorry.”
To Lenny, the goddess was also the person who brought me together, but she must be something more than that. But honestly, even though she’s a goddess, when I see her interacting with me, she doesn’t feel very great.
Normally, when it comes to gods, she should wear a baggy dress and give off a sense of greatness, reverence, and nobleness, but I’ve never felt anything like that until now.
It’s not bad when you look at what he does, no, he’s nice, but he’s a little ordinary and he’s like a little kid.
…To say that there is no response even after doing this.
“What’s really going on?”
“What else did you do?”
“Ah, please swear at me for being a goddess like a little girl… “
“Mr. Eugene!”
Ugh, ugh. She’s no longer a goddess and I think Lenny will be mad. I was curious to see Lenny getting angry, but now is not the time.
When she said that she had no response from the goddess no matter what, Yuri made a serious expression.
“…Then is this a trap? My brother’s, what is it, the system? I still don’t quite understand…”
Yuri’s questions were quite incoherent, but I seemed to be able to understand them. An entity capable of interfering with the system. It’s creepy to think so. This is on a completely different level from dealing with monsters and various goblins.
“But I don’t feel any ominous energy. And Seonggeom-nim said it was okay…”
“Then, can’t this be seen as a trigger rather than a trap?”
Said Ariel.
“A trigger?”
“Can’t you assume that it was made in case summoners like you pass by? It was made to be entered separately from communication with the Goddess.”
“Is it?”
“I think that makes more sense. In fact, it is more strange to receive the attention of the Goddess of Everything like you.”
“Hmm…”
He is too. She is a goddess who is treated as a minor to me, but to the people of this world, she is in a position similar to a kind of absolute, unapproachable.
“Then let’s go in.”
We vigorously pushed the door of the ruins… Pushed…Not pushed.
“Did you remember something?”
Strange letters floating in the air. It’s the first letter you see.
“… Uh, uhm. It seems like a very old language.”
“Okay?”
Said Lenny, narrowing her eyes.
“Can you read it?”
“That, that’s… I’ve only glanced at the existence of these letters…”
Lenny’s face turned slightly red. Lenny is cute, but she doesn’t care about that. I, who automatically translates all the languages of this world after receiving system correction, can’t read it? Then again, this is a trap…
[ Holy Power 0 / 1450 ]
“…”
Open So what is a system?
“I guess I need to inject divine power?”
At that, everyone turned to me at once. No, why are you looking at me like that? With tired eyes…
“Well, then I… “
Suddenly Lenny came out, her face red. Okay. Of course Lenny has to step in. Lenny’s divine power is pumped tremendously with the buff, so it would take less than 5 minutes to inject the necessary divine power into a door like this.
But something was strange about the atmosphere. Lenny just stays still with her face blushing.
“Lenny? Then quickly…”
“No no no, wait, wait.”
Suddenly, Yuri came out. A face full of displeasure. Why do you suddenly look like this again? It’s nothing else but something related to divine power, isn’t it?
Yuri suddenly started talking nonsense.
“You’ve already done enough. And last time I saw it, it took a long time. She thinks that from now on she should leave it to me. That’s right, I’m the perfect fit.”
….What is this again? I couldn’t keep up with the current conversation, so I stayed still, but Lenny shouted in a tearful voice.
“It took a long time, I-I just did it because I thought of Yujin! Too fast is not good… And above all, Yuri has no experience!”
“Why can’t I have experience? She came and went a couple of times. Isn’t it just that her older sister is n’t good at it?”
“Oh, lie! There’s no way Yujin would do that!”
“It’s not a lie. Just last night…”
“Last night?! When last night?!”
“…”
Difficult. It is difficult to keep up with the tempo of the conversation. While I was watching their quarrel, Ariel suddenly pulled her arm.
“There will be no end to the conversation over there. Come this way.”
“Yes?”
“I can’t wait until when can I?”
After Ariel said that, she knelt down while muttering, “I’m looking for efficiency.” Then the buckle of my pants…
“Uh, hey, what, what! What are you doing?!”
“Ah! Did you decide to cut in line too?!”
“What are you doing in broad daylight?!”
I’m out of my mind, I’m out of my mind!
“Ah, no, guys, wait, wait, wait, wait!”
At my desperate restraint, the kids barely stopped their bickering.
“For a moment. I don’t understand what you are talking about now. Lenny. You need to inject divine power.”
Lenny’s face turned red, and at the same time, Yuri’s and Ariel’s faces quickly darkened. I don’t understand. Why is everyone doing this?
“Lenny? Should I inject divine power?”
“Yes. I can do my best. So…”
Saying that, Lenny knelt in front of me and buckled his pants…
“…!”
I just realized Lady Lenny, when you think of divine power, you think of my semen first! No, not just Lenny, all the kids!
“… Lenny. Wait a minute.”
“Ah, isn’t it a bit like doing it in an open place like this? If so, the tent…”
“No, not that. You can also inject divine power.”
“…….Hot.”
Lenny’s face turned red.
