Chapter 675 – Mithril-Orichalcon Greatsword (1)

The night before last, many complicated thoughts swirled through my mind, but I could not come to a proper conclusion.

For now, I decided not to think deeply about my dreams and beliefs and just maintain what I have done so far.

Building more relationships with the women I have had relationships with so far.

And above all, in the direction of maintaining my goal as a hunter, ‘to become stronger.’

There was already a lot of work to do right now before I could think about the next step that hadn’t even come yet.

Since I decided to share with each person the story about the support I received when I defeated the Three-Headed Basilisk, I also had to explain my future plans to other members of the Azure Shield party other than Minah.

The other person who was best to talk to in the current situation was Hye-eun.

I was able to talk quickly with Mina because we were living together, and the person who had been living with me for a long time from the beginning was my childhood friend, Hye-eun.

“Now that I’m thinking about it, it might be okay to go on a full-fledged date for the first time in a while.”

I already had a history of ruining a date with Hye-eun around this time last year.

At that time, it had not been long since I gained the ability to awaken, so I was moving around while overexerting my body. It was because I didn’t manage my physical condition properly on the date.

The originally planned date at the movie theater turned into a date at home, which ultimately created a much better atmosphere than an ordinary everyday date. That’s just a result-based story.

I needed to make up for the proper date I couldn’t finish at that time.

Just as there is a saying that you should pull out the Horn Rabbit’s horn because she likes it, it was still morning, but while I was thinking about it, I called her and scheduled a date with her.

-Roar, click.

Even though it must be early in the morning, Hye-eun answers my call almost as soon as her first ringtone ends.

Perhaps because I was still asleep, my girlfriend’s cute, slightly hushed voice tickled my ears.

“Ugh… Taekyung…」

“Sorry, did you wake me up?”

“No… I was going to wake up now anyway…」

Well, considering the morning rush hour, now was the time I should have woken up. Hye-eun will probably go to work this morning as well.

Due to circumstances, I will stop by somewhere else in the morning for a while and show up at work in the afternoon.

“Why did you call~?”

“Nothing else, I just wanted to go on a date for the first time in a while.”

“D-date?!”

-Cudangtangtang!

“… Hye, Hye-eun?!”

As soon as I heard the word date, a slightly loud sound came from the other end of the phone.

I called her in a worried voice, guessing that it was probably the sound of her falling off the bed, and fortunately, the phone call with her was not disconnected and she called my name again.

“Uh, uhm… Oh, it’s nothing…」

“Did you even fall out of bed?”

「… “Have you put a camera in my room?”

“No way. “I just heard it and guessed.”

To be exact, it was inferred from the sound and Hye-eun’s usual behavioral patterns.

It was a sight clearly visible even without a camera, so no great detective skills were needed.

“Anyway, what is the answer?”

“Of course it’s all good! When? When should we go? Tomorrow? Or just today is fine!”

“Today is the day you go to work in the morning, Hye-eun.”

“Doesn’t care! “You just have to miss work!”

The sight of Hye-eun blurting out the word “Absenteeism” So shamelessly brought a smile to my face.

I also wanted to go out on a date right now, but today I had to get things done in the morning that had to start as soon as possible.

In fact, the only time I could actually go on a date with her was tomorrow.

“I also want to go on a date starting today, but I have another schedule this morning.”

“Ah, I see… Me, I was just too impatient…」

“Let’s do it tomorrow, tomorrow. It’s been a while since the two of us watched a movie together and talked at a cafe or something. “It’s been a while since we spent some time alone.”

“Well, that’s right… It’s been a while since we were alone…」

The last time Hye-eun’s sexual desires were resolved was the 3P sex with Cheon Ji-hee.

Even back then, I ejaculated so many times that I can’t even remember how many times I made their bodies completely mine, but a lot of time had passed since that day.

Above all, it was quite a while ago that she spent time alone with her girlfriend, Hye-eun.

Even though Hye-eun enjoys watching other people have sex, she certainly doesn’t want to have that kind of sex every time.

It would have been better to create an opportunity to meet just the two of us, even if it was a bit hasty.

The problem is that our house is so crowded right now that we don’t have a chance to meet alone on a date at home, and since Eunyoung is also at Hye-eun’s house, it will be a little difficult for us to spend time alone.

In the end, under the pretext of a date, I had a strong desire to spend time alone with Hye-eun from the beginning to the end.

“I’ll see you at the VGC building in front of the station at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning. “Because I didn’t see you last time.”

“You’re not going to get hit by the wind this time, right?”

“If I make you wait again this time, you can just do whatever you want, Hye-eun.”

「…」

“… Hye-eun?”

“Uh, huh?! “I didn’t have any particularly strange imagination!”

… It seemed that telling her to do whatever she wanted stimulated her imagination for no reason. Well, it can’t be helped since she’s a girl in her prime.

On the one hand, I was a little curious about what she thought about ‘doing whatever you want’, but on the other hand, because it was Hye-eun, I also felt a little afraid.

First of all, I quietly promised myself not to be late for my appointment tomorrow.

“Okay, then tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock…”

「… Taekyung, Taekyung! “Then are you going to work this afternoon?”

“This afternoon? Huh. “I will finish work briefly in the morning and go to work briefly after lunch.”

“Well, then let’s hunt together this afternoon too! “I was planning to run the dungeon from morning to evening today!”

“Okay, then.”

When I thought about it, it wasn’t that many times we went out on expeditions alone, so it occurred to me that it was a good opportunity.

With that in mind, I happily accepted Hye-eun’s promise to visit the dungeon in the afternoon.

Being able to spend more time alone for the first time in a long time was quite enjoyable in its own way.

“I’ll probably be at work by 2 o’clock today at the latest. “I’ll send you a KoTalk message near the office.”

“Yep!”

“Okay, have a good day at work today and see you later. … “I love you, Hye-eun.”

“Huh?! … I love you too! Tae, Tae-kyung!”

I don’t know why, but after sharing a love greeting that felt awkward when I said it out loud.

I walked downstairs to eat breakfast, which Eunbyeol probably prepared again today.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

After finishing the breakfast Eunbyeol prepared and coming out of the house, the place where I headed was Areum’s workshop.

In order for me to become stronger at this point, I had to first leave my mithril greatsword for repairs.

Since we also have the orichalcon material that was given to us by the boss just two days ago, repairs can now be done in earnest.

The mithril greatsword is not only the weapon that has been with me the longest during my hunter life, but it also boasts overwhelming durability among the weapons I have used so far.

This is not just an empty remark, it was an item that I had a strong attachment to as it was a weapon that had been through all the hardships together.

‘If you can fix it, it’s better to fix it.’

It was also planned to be made of Mithril-Orichalcon alloy material rather than simply being replaced with the original Mithril greatsword.

I didn’t have much knowledge about the material of the weapon, but at least according to Areum’s words, it was clear that it was a definite upgrade.

This kind of specialized knowledge was only half achieved by simply listening to the blacksmith’s words. There was no way I, who was not an expert in weapons and materials, would be able to repair a mithril greatsword in the first place.

In many ways, Areum and I were already deeply and close to each other, so Areum’s words were trustworthy in many ways.

With that in mind, I was planning to walk to Areum’s workshop with a somewhat relaxed mind and ask for repairs to the mithril greatsword.

I visited Areum’s store after a long time and it didn’t seem to have a very relaxed atmosphere.

“Here! Is there anything lighter like this?! “This is too heavy for a man!”

“Why won’t you sell me a great sword! “I can wield no matter how much of a man I am!”

“Where are the guns on display! “I can’t handle anything other than firearms like guns!”

“Please speak one by one!” “I’m so loud that you can’t hear anything, Ankana!!”

… Perhaps I had underestimated the symbolic meaning of the male hunter too much.

I also know that the aftermath of me reaching the peak as a male S-class hunter will also affect her attack and defense.
