Chapter 82 – #25. Temple of the Sea (1).

#25. Temple of the sea.

“I…”

Dahee Yoo swallowed her saliva.
I looked at Kim Jin-woo, who became serious again, and listened to his answer.

Always wondered
What does Kim Jin-woo think of himself?
As a person, he couldn’t help but wonder.

Sometimes when I had a conversation with Elisha, she would talk that way.
Elisha hated Kim Jin-woo, but because she supported Da-hee Yoo’s love, she didn’t gossip about Kim Jin-woo.

─ We elves feel the depth of our relationship when we share food together. They mix each other’s saliva before mixing each other’s blood.
─ So Dahee. Eat this. I’ll feed you.
─ Now, ah… Tasty? Does it taste surprisingly good? This is the dish I learned from my mother when I was little.

Elves have sex last.
It is to confirm each other’s hearts and have children.

‘Other tribes give meaning to even the smallest things.’

Dahee Yoo snorted.
What’s the point of sharing one meal?

“Three sandwiches, please.”

One belonged to a boy who should be training.
One to eat yourself.
One is a sandwich to give to Kim Jin-woo when he is rejected.

While receiving the sandwich and putting it in her inventory, Dahee Yoo had a strange imagination.
Imagine Jinwoo Kim eating the sandwich he used to eat without thinking about it.
An imagination that takes for granted.

Dahee Yoo’s hand trembled very subtly as she took out the sandwich.
Dahee Yoo was giving meaning to things that didn’t work out.

─ You two can share it. No?

Dahee Yoo calmly held out a sandwich.
While grumbling, Jinwoo Kim calmly accepted and ate the sandwich.

Hehe.’

Seeing Kim Jin-woo eating deliciously while complaining, Da-hee Yoo laughed inwardly.

‘How will they react if I make it myself?’

I suddenly became curious.
In my head, Kim Jin-woo’s ideal type passed by.

‘Small, petite and cute woman who is good at cooking…’

Kim Jin-woo, who brazenly referred to a woman who was the exact opposite of Yoo Da-hee as his ideal type.
Again, I just felt embarrassed.

‘I’ll take a look if you answer well.’

Dahee Yoo stared at Jinwoo Kim.

Kim Jin-woo’s eyes looked back to the past, not directly ahead.

“Dahee…”

There was a novel.
A novel that no one reads.
Jinwoo Kim read that novel.

It was a detailed description as if it had been written by the regressor himself.
As I read it, I became immersed in the joys and sorrows of Yu Da-hee, a regressor.
When she laughed, I was happy, and when she cried, my day was hard.

When Yu Da-hee saw the end, she felt relieved and regretful.
At the thought that we can no longer climb the tower together.

I’m just as happy now
And I’m so afraid.
This relationship that will have to break up someday.

In the epilogue, Dahee Yoo returns to her original world.
Kim Jin-woo also had a high possibility of returning to his original world.

There is no choice but to part.

So she screamed without thinking.
Because the world will disappear anyway.

‘Love is… A little bit…’

Like a novel that runs towards an ending, Kim Jin-woo will have to face an unwanted ending someday.

“I like you a lot.”

Still, this was sincere.
Even though words and actions have never matched so far.

Yu Da-hee couldn’t bear to speak.

“Uh, uh…”

Normally, Dahee Yoo does not use the blessing of discernment on Jinwoo Kim.
I felt like I was playing with the other person’s emotions, so I never used it for Kim Jin-woo, who was returning together.

[The ‘Blessing of Foresight’ is in effect.]

In the eyes of Kim Jin-woo, who is overly serious, Yoo Da-hee unwittingly activated the protection of the detective.
And she faced emotions she shouldn’t have faced.

Truth.
The sincerity that is more transparent than any other truth was conveyed to Yoo Da-hee.

Her hair turned pink.
All that Dahee Yu could see was Kim Jinwoo’s face and lips.

‘Ah, that won’t work.’
“Yup… !”

Dahee Yoo grabbed Kim Jinwoo’s head and pulled him towards her.
And she kissed her lips tighter than ever before.

* * *

Chuup-.
“Ha. Jinwoo Kim… Seriously, that’s against the rules…”

Dahee Yoo parted her lips.
The saliva, which stretched like a transparent thread, snapped.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden… ! Yumma!”

Due to the rough push, she lost balance and fell.
Dahee Yoo climbed on top of me and sat down on me.

“Sleep… Kahn… !”

Yoo Da-hee’s lips once again blocked mine.
Dahee Yoo covered my ears with both of her hands and held me so that I could not escape.

“Ha. Ha…”
“No, why are you doing this… Say something…”

Dahee Yoo wiped her own mouth with the sleeve of her dress, which was her smear with her saliva.
Then she wiped the area around my mouth with a handkerchief.

“I do not know. I just love it so much I can’t stand it.”
“I do not get it…”
“Still, I can’t do it here, so I’ll have to put up with it… ?”

As if having sex, Dahee Yoo rubbed my buttocks against the front of my pants.
It feels different from insertion, but it hurts and I can’t stand it.

“Hey, it hurts. It hurts.”

When she sincerely complained of pain, only then did Yu Da-hee stop her back and stand up.

“… Hmm, hmm. Sorry.”

Dahee Yu stretched out her hand and helped me up.
Maybe it was because I was lying on the dirt floor, so I felt uncomfortable because it was covered with dirt.

“Oh, oh oh…”

The boy gave us a thumbs up and his eyes twinkled.
It was the appearance of an innocent adolescent boy.

Seeing that, Dahee Yoo just laughed awkwardly.

“I also have a friend in my hometown that I like, and I want to be like my older sister and older brother.”

An awkward atmosphere continued.
No matter what the boy said, he had no intention of answering.

It wasn’t just me, Dahee Yoo was like that too.
Saying that she wanted to run away from this place right away, Dahee Yu said with her face.

I shook hands with the boy.

“Yes, train hard.”
“Why are you trying to end it all of a sudden? Brother, are you just leaving?”
“It’s been too long. See you next.”

He dragged Dahee Yu out of the lake.

“Brother! Sister! Where are you going!”

Missed the boy
On the way, Dahee Yu said nothing.

“Say something. Why is that?”
“I do not know.”

I don’t have an idiot.
I suddenly hit it and I don’t know why.

“You are like that, huh? It’s my fault for screwing you up. Is it my fault?”

Rather, saying it was my fault, Dahee Yu raised her chin proudly.

“What. Why. Any complaints?”
“… No. Yes, it is my fault.”

They said it was because of me, so let’s just admit it and move on.
I don’t think I’ll tell you why I ask any more.

“Then let’s go find the rest of the pillars. I only need to find two, so it won’t take long.”

I know the location.
With the temple of the sea as the center, the blue pillars form a pentagonal structure.
Since we’ve found three pillars, we can guess the other two based on the three we’ve already found.

It is good to find a lake in advance.
Because there is only one lake where Hidden Peace is submerged.

It was the exact opposite of First City.
As we got further and further away from the First City, native soldiers began to appear one by one.

Knight trooper.
Maybe it was because there were only two of us, so two or three was the maximum.
It moves while earning coins at the level of pundon.

“Opening… ?”

A heterogeneous vacant lot greeted us.
A clearing surrounded by forest.
It was an incredibly wide open space.

There should be a temple of the sea.
When the seal is released, the Sea Temple will appear in this place.
If you go back the distance you came so far, you can see two pillars.

We walked without stopping.
If you check this far, you are almost done.

Eventually, I found the other two pillars.
The sun was setting.

“Don’t you think it’s a big deal?”
“… It’s not that dangerous.”

Darkness engulfed the forest.
It was so dark that I couldn’t see an inch ahead.
Even the normal wind noise now came with an ominous atmosphere.

“Since you know the location, would you like to return and break the seal right away?”
“That’s not bad either.”

It’s annoying to return.
To the point where I think it’s better to start over.
So we regressed.

Yoo Da-hee collapses.

[‘Return by Death’ is activated.]

I’m back.
It’s a familiar scene.

If there was a slight difference, it would be that Elena’s eyes were unusual.

We packed our gear and headed to First City.
Then he met Horin and popped her coin.
After renting a top-notch dugout…

“Wouldn’t it be strange if we went right away?”
“What?”

Dahee Yoo was going to break the seal right away.
But think about it.
It’s a strange development for anyone to see newbies who just came out of the academy going to lift the seal.

“Then what should I do? Do I have to pass the time blankly again?”
“Couldn’t it be helped?”
“… I don’t like to wait.”

After thinking for a while, Dahee Yoo came up with an alternative.

“Don’t you think we can just take Elena and save people in the Second City?”
“Rest of it?”
“Leave it here. Because one day is enough anyway. I’ll take you to the oath of obedience and open the seal.”
“Saving people in Second City? Then why is it necessary to take Elena with me?”
“Uh… Is that so?”

Come to think of it, I’m right.
There is no need to take care of Elena.

After thinking about it, Dahee Yoo made a decision.

“Then let’s go by ourselves.”
“Good.”

I also feel comfortable taking Elena with me.
It feels like a toy to play with, so it’s fun.

However, you shouldn’t do that.
Growth is slow, and tension is reduced, so you can’t feel the thrill.
I’m still a regressor, so every battle is boring, but if I drag an 8-star player around, it’s not a matter of trifle, I’d rather die.

After making a reasonable excuse to Elisha, we headed to the Second City.
It cut off the breath of the werewolf that appeared on the way at once.
Unlike the last time, only one appeared, but I don’t know why it was only one.

Arrive at Second City.
Wells are made everywhere, and players who are more polished than First City are walking around.

Various races live in harmony in the ‘Tower of Struggle’.
Upstairs rather than downstairs sets up rules and lives respecting each other.
Among them, there are people who don’t seem to need laws to live in the world.

“Elf…”

Does not exist.
Existence itself is rare.
It was the only existence beyond rarity, but with the appearance of Elisha, the number of female elves increased to two.

The next good races are dwarves, nymphs, fairies, spirits, and so on, surprisingly many.

‘Dwarves are more crazy than good.’

They’re crazy bastards who treat women like shit, but the fact that they never look back was a plus in this harsh world.
A race that is much better than the same human.

Since you don’t know when you’ll be hit in the back after that, they’re a race that’s not worth discussing amongst ourselves.

“There are dwarves over there.”
“A dwarf? I don’t mind the dwarves…”
“It’s not bad because they’re rather real men.”

Dahee Yoo narrowed her brows.
It couldn’t be good to see people and tell them to be seeded.

“Let’s just find someone else. Yes?”

Looking at Dahee Yoo, whom she really dislikes, it seems that dwarves should be excluded from the options.

‘Because the magic must be level 10 or higher.’

Dwarves are more about training their bodies than mana.
There is no expression more suitable for a muscular dwarf or dwarf.

A good race with magic level 10 or higher.
Options are drastically reduced.
To find it now in Second City…

“How are they?”

One Lizardman and three Fairy.
A party with a strange combination is coming out of a dugout.

Lizardmen are bipedal lizards, and fairies are boys and girls flapping transparent wings.
The Lizardmen were close to death, but the Fairy must have passed the magic level 10.

“I don’t think it’s bad.”

Yu Da-hee looked at the head of the lizard and nodded.
Now that the plan is complete, it’s time to recruit members.

I naturally approached the Lizardman.
Looking closer, the chest is strangely swollen.
Lizardmen were female.

‘But why are they Lizardmen?’

Leaving behind the stupid question, I spoke to the Lizardman.

“Excuse me.”

Lizardmen have reptile-specific pupils.
So he just doesn’t want to get close.

“Shrik-. Human male? Why did you call me?”

Behind the Lizardman, three fairies huddled together, hugging each other.
Compared to her fear of me, she looked at Yoo Da-hee, who was standing behind me, with infinite affection.

‘Shiva, appearance supremacy.’

Dahee Yoo is favored by everyone.
Of course, there are many cases where that favor leads to a desire to reproduce, so it is courted by numerous tribes every day.

“Do you have some time? Request… I want to entrust you with something similar.”
“What, request?”

Lizardman flicked his forked tongue.
