Chapter 29 – Let’s Not Hope for Luck (6)
“A grade dungeon. Crystal Spider Nest”
Silver and Jade’s exclusive dungeon, Crystal Spider’s Nest.
In this dungeon where only properly formed parties are allowed entry. Four hunters were exploring inside a dark cave, relying on the lights.
Among them, a woman who seemed to be the leader turned around and spoke to her colleagues.
“Let’s rest here for a while.”
As soon as the words came out of the mouth of the party leader, Kang Hye-eun. The other three immediately nodded.
Without even a mat or handkerchief, they sat on the bare floor of the cave and took a rest in a comfortable position.
To quench the thirst of a tired body from exploration. By leaning against a wall to relax tense muscles for a while.
“Yuri, how many spells do you have left?”
“If it’s based on 5 circles, 5 times. Ten times in 3 circles.”
“Well, then today we will destroy only the nest in front of us and go back. Mina and Jihee also seem a little tired.”
Hye-eun, who checked the condition of the party members, rolled several possibilities in her head.
We made an appropriate judgment in the line where both safety and performance can be obtained.
“Yes, yes.”
“It’s okay because I’m not tired yet….”
“I can’t do it, Jihee. Clearing a dungeon isn’t about pushing yourself to the limit.
You have to end it at an appropriately unfortunate point to prevent an emergency situation.”
“… Yes, that’s what Hye-eun said.”
Kang Hye-eun, who skillfully responded to Cheon Ji-hee’s small grievances as usual, loosened her front a little to cool off the heat inside her body.
I drew a picture of the next battle in my head while examining the expressions of each member of the party who was resting.
If the next nest to be encountered is the nest of the blue crystal spider, the shield itself defends itself, and Chun Ji-hee is the striker.
If it was the nest of the yellow crystal spider, let Cheon Ji-hee and Han Min-ah buy time, then lower the defense by breaking the shield.
If it’s an amethyst spider’s nest, first neutralize the baby spiders with Cha Yu-ri’s wind magic….
“Come to think of it, how are you and Taekyung these days? He said the atmosphere was really good last time.”
“… Who is Taekyung?”
“Ah, Hyeeun is talking about her childhood friend. I am also a middle school high school classmate.
He’s like an asshole, so I’ve been in one-sided love for close to 10 years. They said that some time ago at their house, their eyes met and they even had sex.”
“It wasn’t unrequited love, it was waiting for you. Until Tae-kyung makes up his mind to give up dangerous jobs like male hunters and become my husband.”
“You are funny. I didn’t have the courage to confess until I was in middle school. After graduating from middle school, he didn’t answer for a while, so I called him crying at night.”
“… I told you not to talk about that.”
“Ah, ah! Hurt! Hey, Kang Hye-eun! If you do that while wearing armor, it will hurt more!”
While punishing Han Min-ah, who spits out her dark history at will, by wrapping her arms around her head. Hyeeun felt that someone else’s eyes were reaching her.
“… Therefore?”
“Yes?”
“… That you had sex Are you dating then?”
Cha Yu-ri, who had never shown any interest in such a story until now, was interested.
Kang Hye-eun answered even though she had small questions.
“I do not know. There was another similar thing after that, so I think we’re dating.
If it was once, I thought it might happen. First of all, since we did it the day before yesterday, it’s probably correct to say that we’re dating.”
“Kko, I can’t really say that….”
“A. Jihee’s older sister. If you have sex twice, you are dating. Oh, wasn’t that the second time? The other day, five or six times in one day! Ah, ah, it hurts!!”
“… I see At first, it might happen by accident, but from the second time onwards, they say it’s normal dating.”
Chayuri fiddling with the smart phone in her own pocket. She muttered quietly, as if thinking of someone.
“Anyway, I’m really glad that Mr. Yuri came back.”
“Okay?”
“Because wind mages as skilled as Mr. Yuri are rare.
The fire wizards there are too dangerous. Water wizards are weak in killing power. She pondered for quite some time whether or not she should hire a new main dealer.”
“So, even after taking a break for over two months, my position was still there.”
“Besides, it seems that his strength has completely returned. Didn’t it look like you got stronger? Did something happen while you were resting?”
Recalling what happened to her in her moment of regaining her own power, she blushed a little.
Shyly, she spat out a word to her colleagues.
“…… It is a secret.”
Going beyond that would be her private life, so Kang Hye-eun quietly swallowed the question she wanted to ask.
She decided that by this time she had had enough rest, she prepared to go back inside.
“Did everyone get enough rest? I’ll get back in soon.”
“Yeah!”
“Okay.”
“…….”
So her class A party led by Kang Hye-eun. The display was moved deeper into the cave.
About someone who came up in common in each of their heads. While holding different emotions quietly in my heart.

“A grade B dungeon. Abandoned Village, Area B」
In a way, it’s a natural thing to say. Hunting monsters does not end with simply ignorantly suffocating oneself with a sword or magic.
Hunting is just one of the processes for collecting monster materials.
If you don’t extract the remaining monster’s core from the corpse, in the end it’s just a simple show of strength.
After climbing onto the head of a treralodon lying on its side. Insert a greatsword into the eye socket and disassemble the head.
Around the time when I had done some work that would roughly hurt my stomach.
A glowing green core could be found inside.
“Ah, I found it.”
For now, this is enough to pay for the dungeon entrance fee.
After carrying the wiped core down to the floor.
I asked, holding it in front of the blonde woman who was resting.
“I can really have this, right? Aren’t you going to say something else later?”
“I told you earlier that that kind of penny money is not the goal. How many times are you going to make me repeat the same thing? You jerk.”
“Don’t keep being an idiot, an idiot. If you’re curious about the name like that, let’s say the full name.”
“Why did I give my name to a hunter from the Guild….”
“I am Seongcheol Kim.”
“… I’m Doshi-hee.”
It seems that he wasn’t a famous Hunter enough to be known.
However, judging from the fact that he is wearing epaulettes with the Ariel Foundation’s pattern engraved on them. Perhaps she must be the daughter of a conglomerate somewhere or the daughter of an executive politician.
To be honest, getting involved with this woman wasn’t a good choice. It hasn’t changed like the last time we happened to run into each other on the street.
Apparently, I witnessed the situation up until now with my own two eyes.
It felt like something was bothering me to just pass by.
Maybe it’s the traces of a long fight against Treralodon? Her clothes were torn and tattered here and there.
If I hadn’t intervened, I wouldn’t have been able to guarantee victory with a high probability.
Because that scene felt similar to the way she looked when I first met Cha Yu-ri.
Even if you take some risk. She just felt the need to make friends with her.
Thanks to the mask of unknown identity, I also had the confidence that came from the fact that the other person didn’t know my true self.
“It sounds like a manly name.”
“I hear that often.”
“There is no way that an ordinary male Hunter could jump 10 meters into the air from the ground. Of course not.”
“That is normal.”
Once the words started to open, I wonder if my vigilance has been released. Doshi-hee and I immediately exchanged questions.
“What level is the hunter level? A? Or B?”
“It’s grade C.”
“Okay? I don’t think he has the physique of a student, but he must have just awakened, right?”
It’s been a while since I woke up, so the grade will go up soon. It was a statement that seemed to imply that meaning.
“If you’ll excuse me, what grade is Do Shi-hee?”
“It’s B. … I’m not really making excuses, I was on the verge of going over to grade A not too long ago. So it’s actually grade A.”
“By the way, have you been struggling against Treralodon?”
“Now you said B. And you didn’t struggle?!”
… It looked like it was struggling to anyone’s eyes.
If this type of person refutes the story, it will only cause resentment.
For a moment, he nodded his head pretending to listen to the story in silence.
“Everything, even if you didn’t intervene, I was able to catch it by myself. The fact that he was hit by the tail and bounced off was all a strategy to close the distance with him….”
“All right. I was worried for nothing.”
“… Well, aside from that, I managed to catch it a little safer thanks to you. So, keep the cores that cost less than a penny.”
Even these cores, which cost about 300,000 won per piece, are treated like a pittance.
After all, people from the Ariel Foundation have a different sense of money than normal people.
“Anyway, if you’re going to be an A-rank soon, why bother coming to this B-rank dungeon and struggling against Treralodon… No, are you hunting?
It’s not really the monster breeding season right now. In the first place, isn’t the Ariel Foundation located near Area A instead of here?”
“… You don’t know.”
“Yes?”
Did my words offend her somehow? As soon as Doshi-hee heard my words, he suddenly got up from his seat.
As it was, it showed a movement to go deeper into area B.
“Wait a minute, Doshi-hee! You should go back to the guild!”
“It’s useless meddling! I’m still brisk for a while?! You think you’re going to go back to the guild without any results?!”
“You were so wounded in the battle just now. Where do you want to go back with that injured body!”
“Never mind! I can take care of myself!”
Even though it was the way to the limb that anyone could see. She couldn’t let go of her own stubbornness and was moving her steps more and more inward.
Of course, I couldn’t just leave the sacrifice that the visible future was obvious.
“Doshi-hee! Don’t do that for a second….”
So the moment I tried to persuade her to return to the guild by calling her name.
『Emergency Assignment Arrive!』
A familiar system window I’d seen before appeared blocking my view.
『B-class hunter Doshi-hee is not able to show his skills due to his sexual desire that has suddenly started to build up recently.
Solve the sexual desire of B-rank hunter Doshi-hee so that she can show her skills to the fullest.
(Caution: The target may resist stubbornly.)
Special Reward: Awakening Points +200
Remaining time: 05:59:59』
… What the hell is this
