Chapter 122 – 122.Red Infection (3)
Not everyone denied Atsubal’s words.
No, Maika didn’t seem to know what she meant.
First of all, what needs to be corrected needs to be corrected.
“Atsubal, I am not a pervert.”
“As expected! Mr. Atsubal! EvenMr. Shihan said no!”
“That’s right, this guy is a natural and he doesn’t think like that himself. Sihan Lee! Ask me a question!”
“Try it.”
“Why did Sasha from Cats Store cling to you? She didn’t take it off?”
“Is there really a need to take it off? Aren’t you used to it now?”
“Okay. Then do you think it’s good for Sasha to cling to you?”
“Ah, Mr. Atsubal! That’s a very rude question. Mr. Sihan, you should be considerate of Mr. Sasha…”
“Hmm, of course it’s good. Why are you asking that?”
A pretty girl like Sasha is obsessed with me, so how could she be bad as a guy?
“Huh?!”
“Look, this guy says things like this so casually.”
“Captain, do you like being clingy?”
“I like it.”
“Oh! Then I’ll cling to you!”
Myka poofs! She jumped on me and hugged me, rubbing my cheeks and then licking my cheek.
“Mr. Maika!?”
“This guy is doing this again.”
“Again!?”
“Myka, that’s good, but we’re in the carriage now, so stop. Lucas is also freaking out, so do it later.”
“Clap clap clap!” Yes!”
As Maika’s soft touch disappeared, Maika sat down in her seat.
Pamela and Adelia were smiling awkwardly, and Yeonhwa shook her head as if there was nothing she could do.
Atsval seemed to have finished what he had to say, and he closed the coach window, leaving only Lucas looking at me blankly.
“Woman, hero… Lecherous?”

After arriving in Suzar, we headed to the adventurer’s guild.
“I found the chaos stone and purified it.”
“… ! Please come this way.”
First, Nelia, Suzar’s guild receptionist, immediately guided us inside after reporting the results.
And in the living room, I again faced Dylan, the leader of Suzar’s Adventurer’s Guild.
“So, chaos stone? You mean the jewel that contains the energy of chaos, right?”
“That’s right. We called it that to make it easier to call. Is there an official name for it?”
“No, there is none. Chaos Stone. That’s a very fitting name. So, could you show me the Chaos Stone?”
“Here it is.”
I took out the chaos stone from the inventory and placed it on the table.
“It’s definitely the same gem I saw back then. How was it purified?”
“After hearing what Mr. Munton said, I thought. It would be too late to come back and report to Mr. Munton after making the discovery. So, we also increased the number of members in our Fortis Group who are priests.”
He pointed at Lucas.
“This is Lucas.”
“That’s right. That’s a good decision. It’s really believable that a young man who can make his own decisions is a hero.”
Dylan smiled as if he was satisfied.
From Dylan’s point of view, it would be more convenient to solve the problem on our own, as our skills are guaranteed, rather than contacting Munton or leaving it to another adventurer.
“Then can you tell me how you obtained the Chaos Stone?”
I briefly told Dylan that I discovered it while requesting the extermination of Trento.
Without asking any further questions, Dylan called Nelia and arranged for the magic stone to be refunded.
After finishing our work at Vitus, we went back to Lucedia Academy with Lucas and officially submitted Lucas’ membership application.
And.
[Quest Accomplished]
[You gathered 6 group mates within 1 semester.]
[Achievement reward: Rare item box x2, Point 3]
Finally, the quest was completed, the remaining points were 20, and I also got a new item box.
However, even if the quest was completed, the next quest did not appear immediately.
“Lucas, with this, you too become a true member of the Fortis Group. Welcome once again.”
When I held out my hand to Lucas, he immediately took my hand.
“Yes! Mr. Sihan!”
After arriving at Suzar and returning here, the embarrassment he had shown in the carriage seemed to have calmed down, and Lucas responded cheerfully and shook hands.
The quest was accomplished and Lucas officially became a group member.
‘On days like this, it’s a commemorative party.’
It was just lunch time.
“Okay, I’ll shoot today.”
“Yes?”
“Lucas, is there a restaurant you want to go to? I’ll order whatever you want.”
“Oh, no. You don’t have to…”
“Heh. There’s still a long way to go, Lucas Pond.”
“Mr. Atsubal?”
“At times like this, you don’t hesitate to say what you want! When an opportunity comes, you have to seize it! Just like when you face Destiny!”
“Well, doesn’t that mean the same thing?”
“Stop complaining about every little thing! Pamela!”
“Hey! I’m sorry!”
“B-but I really don’t have a store in particular that I want to go to… I just use the academy’s restaurant for my regular meals.”
Lucas definitely wanted to eat here! I guess there was no such thing.
In that case, there is nothing we can do.
‘As a gourmet senior, I first choose the food I am most looking forward to.’
For lunch that day, I chose a restaurant that gave me the most exciting and impressive food out of all the ones I’ve tried, focusing only on taste without considering cost-effectiveness.
That’s where Adelia came in and had the poison bore steak with her.
But what we’re going to eat this time isn’t poison bore steak.
The Purple Poison Boar Steak is said to be even more delicious than that.
Last time I heard from Sasha, there was still meat left, so there would be enough to eat.
We headed straight to Valendia and double-checked with Sasha just in case.
“Of course there is! I’ll make a reservation right away!”
Since it was Purple Poison Bore’s steak, I was worried that there would be no more because people like me who wanted gourmet food would flock in, but fortunately, there were still some left.
“Welcome, let me show you to your seat.”
As soon as we arrived at the store, a waiter we had seen once guided us to our seats.
“Oh, it’s very luxurious.”
“Heh, it’s only natural that the restaurant has a chef skilled enough to handle poison steak bore!”
“Poison Boar?! Is that monster going to be cooked? It’s a poisonous monster…”
“The Poison Boar Steak is made by carefully preparing the poison to completely remove the poison and then cooking it! But this time, the manager of our group will use his generosity to eat the Purple Poison Boar Steak, which is even more difficult to cook but is delicious!”
“Steak! I like steak!”
“I’m looking forward to how delicious it will be compared to the steak I ate back then.”
“I haven’t tried Purple Poison Boar before. I’ll have to share my impressions with Abama and Eomamama later.”
“Gulp.”
Let’s all look forward and wait for a while.
“Purple Poison Boer Steak.”
Food was served in front of us.
Perhaps because it was a purple poison borer, the color of the meat was slightly purple.
It may seem a bit repulsive at first glance, but the scent wafting out was so mouth-watering that it made that repulsion disappear at once.
“It sounds delicious!”
It seemed like Maika would eat it first, but Maika took turns looking at the Purple Poison Steak and I, with her mouth watering.
Does this mean that in the wild, the colon doesn’t eat until it eats first?
“Then let’s eat.”
I cut the meat into bite-size pieces and put it in my mouth.
“… !”
I have entered a new world of gastronomy.
If the meat of the poison borer I had eaten before had a tangy taste, this one hit my mouth with a sensation as if I had just inhaled carbonated beverages.
But strangely, even though I feel that feeling, I don’t feel like spitting it out at all.
As if to announce that he was not in danger, the juice of the steak stimulated his tongue at first, but then quickly melted and seeped into his tongue her her her her.
And from that moment on, the loud roar of the Purple Poison Boar echoed in my head.
Poison Boar has evolved to fight against its enemies, focusing on a new method called poison rather than just hand-to-hand combat.
The life of the purple poison borer, the best among poison borers, passed quickly as if it were a movie.
Every time you chew the meat, the highlight scene of the movie plays.
The scene of what effort and what kind of life the Purple Poison Boar went through to create this chewy and juicy food seemed to be vividly engraved in my mind.
When I came to my senses, before I knew it, I had finished eating the Purple Poison Boer Steak.
“”Huh!””
It seemed like it wasn’t just me, but the other members were also looking at the bowl with their eyes wide open.
“Clap clap clap clap!”
No, Maika Mann was alone, holding the steak plate with both hands and licking up the sauce.
Taang! Exclaimed Maika, putting down her plate and putting her steak sauce in her mouth.
“One more! I want one!”
“I too… “I want to eat one more plate.”
And Lucas also asked for a refill thanks to Maika’s words.
“I want to eat too. How is everyone?”
Other members also nodded.
We rang the bell and called the waiter and asked if we could each have another plate. The waiter answered with a big smile on his face.
“Of course!”
In the end, we were able to have a satisfying meal while eating one more plate of steak each.
The price of the Purple Poison Boar Steak was several times more expensive than an ordinary steak, but it was well worth the price so I didn’t think it was a waste.
And the next day.
Now that we have gathered the last members that need to be collected at a minimum, it was time to work harder to advance the main story.
“Sihan, there is a festival taking place in Raden. If it’s okay, why don’t you take a look around with everyone?”
Adelia brought news of the event story.
