Chapter 38 – Part 1 Hunter – First Dungeon Exploration (2)

“Look, young man! Hold on!”
“What?”

While exchanging passionate glances with Minerva, I felt like I was being interrupted, so I naturally answered with a quarrel.
The one who spoke to me was a man from a different party than the men who lifted Minerva’s skirt.

“Are you two going into the boss room now?”
“You think so?”
“Ummm. If you’re strong like a young man, the boss will be no problem. Then can we go together?

At the man’s words, I looked around at the adventurers around me. Weak weapons in crude armor. It’s like a bunch of losers.
If I hadn’t been billed, would I have been like that?

You can participate in up to 8 parties at once against the boss monster. Even if the number of parties increases, the quest reward I receive does not change, so there is nothing to lose if someone joins. Drop items and experience will be divided according to the contribution, but it is not enough to care.

“Do whatever you want. But if you touch it during the confusion, I’ll kill you.”
“Ohhh! Of course! There’s no one big enough to raise a hand after seeing something like that!”
“Yes, yes! If you catch the boss, he won’t even look at you! Please!”

The rest of the defeated soldiers who heard the story cheered and began to prepare to enter the boss room.
I also summoned Sleipnir and rode along with Minerva. As soon as Minerva got on Sleipnir, there were people trying to peek under her skirt, but when she threatened Minerva with an arrow attached to her string, she hurriedly turned her head away.

“Minerva. I’m going to go the same way as before. Just use Sleipnir to keep your distance from the monsters. I’ll do the hunting.”
“Okay.”

And the uncle adventurer I talked to earlier takes the lead and encourages the party.

“Listen up! We’re all just wasting our time so that Mr. Lee can deal as much as he wants. Everyone knows, right?”
“I believe! Archer brother!”
“Leave the body bread to us!”

Adventurers of this level could only deal dozens of damage at most. In the meantime, it would be natural for me to have expectations as my normal hit damage easily exceeded 4 digits.

Among them were the party members of the guy he killed earlier, but unlike the shivering figure he had before, he seemed excited just like the other adventurers. I was scared when I was an enemy, but I am reassured when I am an ally.
I went into the boss room, responding roughly to the adventurers who started talking to me.

When the door to the boss room opened, dozens of monsters were swarming in the wide cavity. Most of them are gray lizard type monsters, and their name is ‘Rock Lizard’. They are the same as the regular monsters that came out from upstairs.

And in the middle, there was a bright red lizard that looked like a boss even at first glance.
Its name is ‘Broad Salamander’. It’s about three times the size of the rock lizard next to it, and its scales are bright red. His facial features are as ferocious as his name.

“Power shot!”

First bread victory.
As soon as I entered, I used the first skill I learned against the boss. This power shot learned at level 5 is simply a skill that gives stronger damage than normal hits. As the skill level rises, the multiplier and MP consumption will increase as well, but at the moment the skill level is level 1, it is only 1.5 times the normal hit. Still, it’s better than nothing.

An iron arrow shining white flew with a long tail like a comet and pierced the fire lizard’s forehead. Perhaps it was the effect of the skill, a flashy effect occurred along with the sound of a bomb exploding in the spot where it hit.

Critical. Damage is 28,000.
About 1/3 of the boss’s total HP was cut off.

“Oohhh!”

The adventurers who had been forming a rank rushed forward shouting with cheers. At the same time, the salamander hit by the arrow also roars and runs towards it.
I didn’t pay attention to the surroundings and immediately fired the 2nd and 3rd arrows.

2nd shot, critical, 20,000.
3rd shot, critical, 22,000.

And the last 4th arrow also hits the same spot between the eyebrows.

Critical, 24,000 damage was displayed, and the boss’s HP became 0.

“Keep it up…!!”

As a boss monster, it was pitifully ineffective at all, and the berserk salamander met the end with a pitiful howl. He shook his head as if he couldn’t admit such a thing, but his body had already turned to ashes from the lower part of his body and was scattered.

“I did it! I already caught the boss!”
“Clearing the boss without using potions! It’s a great trade today!”
“Dogs gain!”

The defeated soldiers shouted excitedly, but I indifferently fired arrows at the rest of the mobs.
Except for the boss, all of them were killfish who died in one shot. The lizards whose heads were pierced by my arrows were crushed one after another. When the unreasonable damage and fire rate that was more than twice as fast as that of other archers was added, even normal monsters literally became cold and dead.

The last monster collapsed leaving behind a dying horse. All the monsters were killed by my arrows before they collided with the adventurers. The entrance to the boss room itself would be judged complete by the entire party that entered the room, but mine and Minerva’s party took 100% of the contribution.
My experience in the party was evenly distributed, so I and Minerva were divided in half, so I was level 10 and Minerva was level 11. Next time, I think I can go to a hunting ground with a higher level of difficulty.

After the boss room was cleaned up in an instant, so futile, adventurers flocked around us. Sleipnir purred in annoyance.

“Hyung, you’re really old! You’re the strongest adventurer I’ve ever seen!”
“What did you do that made you so strong?”
“There’s only two people in the party? Can you fit in if there’s a seat?”
“Please accept my friend!”

Ah… That’s annoying.
There were women among the adventurers I approached, but to be honest, it’s not my taste. Compared to Minerva, there is a difference between ruby ​​and gravel. No country was so hungry as to pick up just about anything.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not accepting parties or friends. And we have other things to do after that. We have to go home.”

I hugged Minerva sitting in front of me and appealed to the adventurers. I couldn’t see Minerva’s expression, but I could tell that she was blushing up to the back of her ears.
I feel Minerva’s body vibrating weakly. The rotor seems to be working fine. My son, against her hips, is standing with his pants tight. It’s strange that he doesn’t stand still because he’s been smelling Minerva’s body while keeping her skin in close contact since earlier.

You probably understood the meaning of my words. The men cleared their throats, and the women cast jealous glances at Minerva and dispersed.

“Then Minerva, shall we go back?”
“…Quickly, take it out…”

Said Minerva in a crawling voice.

“Because the original quest goes all the way back to reporting.”

Whoops. When she goes back, she’ll tease you to the point of exhaustion, so don’t fret.

*

I went to the first floor of the dungeon through the portal in the boss room, and then took the portal again and moved to the guild headquarters.
Upon arriving at the guild, I feel that some adventurers in the lobby are focusing on this direction.
Now Minerva is red in her revealing outfit and her breath is rough. In addition, the original plate itself is excellent, so it is inevitable that it will attract attention.

Adventurers usually choose armor based on performance, not design, so it is not strange to have adventurers like Minerva who are exposed. There are plenty of adventurers who pull out unwanted armor and wear it forcibly.
…Although my avian cosplay was treated as pervert.

By the way, I’m wearing the high elf set right now. It’s the same 4 sets, because you don’t have to wear a set of birds like pervert.

Compared to the set of birds, this is an elegant piece of clothing embroidered with beautiful gold thread. Even if I collect the whole set of birds, I don’t think I’ll change them. So please come out with this set first!
While I was thinking about that, I arrived at the reception desk of the Quest Department. The receptionist in charge is, of course, Selina’s sister.

“Quest completed.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Yuzu-sama. Then I’ll settle the bill.”

After her last incident with her wedding ring, she was able to report her completion right away because she had no queues for her.

“Did they get driven that way instead…?”

There are adventurers standing in a long line, as if seeing Selina’s older sister.
The receptionist at the reception desk is Olivia. Surprisingly, Olivia was welcoming the adventurers with a smile on her face.

You can make a face like that. I don’t know what she meant, but her smile gave me goosebumps, knowing her true nature. However, in the eyes of adventurers who do not know the circumstances, they will look like angels. It’s because the outside looks fine.

Huh? After watching for a while, the adventurer Olivia was dealing with suddenly started shouting. Is it a problem?
Soon, the guild’s male staff comes in between Olivia and her adventurers.

The male employee was Selina’s husband and the very man Olivia was trying to take away. Olivia, with her frightened look on her face, she clung to the man’s side.

…Aha. Is it like that? Olivia’s behavior made a little sense. Then I will have to support you too.

“Hey, it seems there’s something wrong there?”
“Ah…”

When I point to her Olivia side and say, Selina noona looks at her side and smiles bitterly.
From this side, all I could see was Olivia being held by the man. What will Selina think when she sees something like that?

“For some reason, trouble has been happening often over there lately.”
“It’s a big deal. Selina-nee, if there’s anything wrong, let me know. I’ll come to help no matter what.”
“Whoops. I’ll be grateful for your heart.”

Selina answered in a low voice so that no one else could hear. There doesn’t seem to be much emotion in her darling, her husband’s attachment to her Olivia. Or is she thinking something but not expressing it? As a man, I don’t know.
Um… More than that, she sure has a demonic charm to this older sister. Especially that chest on the desk.

Olivia hasn’t sent her mail since. You’re saying I don’t have to take action just yet.
I finished my conversation with Selina noona and left the reception desk. It was because it seemed that Minerva would explode at any moment if it dragged on for more time.

That should be enough to annoy you. Thinking so, I was about to move to the VIP room, but someone called and stopped me.

“Hey, Yuzu! Isn’t that Yuzu?”

A voice that I can’t forget even if I try to forget, calling my name.
One of my childhood friends who broke up on my first day as an adventurer.
As long as he came to the adventurer’s guild, he should have thought of the possibility of meeting adventurers as well.

“…Kun.”

Kuhn approaches with a smirk.
Attina’s appearance is the same as before, but her demeanor is confident.
As someone who only remembers how timid he was, I couldn’t erase the sense of incongruity in Kun’s attitude.

“Yuzu, are you really active as an adventurer? I thought you must have returned to your hometown. Haha!”

This bastard… I sat down and teased him as much as he wanted.
Well, Kun still thinks I’m free of charge. He was so timid, but as soon as he thought he was the top, his attitude changed like this. He’s my little brother, but he’s a funny guy.

But seeing Kun like that, my heart was unexpectedly peaceful.
I was quite resentful at first, but even I was surprised.
Maybe if I was really free of charge, I wouldn’t be so fine. But maybe it’s because I’ve got some free time in my heart now? Despite Kun’s provocative attitude, I wasn’t too angry.

“I’m just putting enough of it in my mouth.”

At my insignificant answer, a smile spread even more on Kun’s lips.

“Cheuk. If you’re having a hard time, why don’t you kneel down and ask for me? Thinking of old times, I might even lend you the money for bread! Haha!”

This bastard… He’s running out of control to the point of having fun.
Did you know that he was talking like a villain extra in an adventurer novel he liked to read?

“Thank you for your concern, but it’s not enough. By the way, Jin and Ray? Are they acting separately?”

The people who appeared to be Kun’s party were unfamiliar faces. Two men and one woman. They were watching this from a little distance.
At my question, Kun’s behavior becomes a little suspicious. Is there something going on with the two of you?

“Huh? Ah… That’s right, they’re at a different party! Haha! They’re having a party with guys who are much cooler than you! They’re the favorites of our clan now!”
“Hmm… I guess so.”

Kun’s attitude is suspicious… But that doesn’t mean I have anything to do with it.

“Well anyway, listen carefully to what Ray says. Don’t be too upset.”
“It’s noisy! It doesn’t matter anymore! It’s useless meddling!”

While I was exchanging good wishes with Kun, someone stabbed me in the side.

“…Yuzu, quickly…”
“Huh? Oh, sorry. I’ll be right there.”

Oops. Had completely forgotten
Minerva, crying with her face stained red, seemed unbearable.
Minerva next to me is more important to me than the guys with whom my relationship has faded.
I quickly tried to end the conversation with Kun.

“Then…”
“Uh, Yu, Yuzu, how about that girl…?”
“Ah. This is Minerva. My party member and lover.”

As if showing off to Kun, I put her hands around her hips and pulled her toward me.
I pretended to be proud of Kun, but in truth, I was still childish. Haha!

Minerva in my arms looked at me in protest, but he said nothing, knowing that denying would only waste time. And Kun opens his mouth wide and he looks at us like that.

“Eh… That can’t be…”

It seems that saliva will drip from the corners of Kun’s mouth when he sees Minerva. Rolling his eyeballs up and down, he stares intently at Minerva’s exposed breastbone or thigh.
Minerva also frowned at Kun’s blatant attitude.

I sighed and blew the night away with all my might between the eyebrows of the half-fazed guy.

Fuck!
The middle finger I flicked made a cool sound and hit the bridge of Kun’s nose.

“Tteak! Mu, what are you doing!?”
“This is the punishment for stealing someone else’s woman. You said you killed her if she were a man? I’m thankful that it ended overnight.”
“Turn it off…”

Kuhn crouched down, rubbing both of his hands on his face as if he was in a lot of pain. I patted the guy on the head and said.

“Next time, it won’t end like this, so be careful. Then I’ll go. Say hello to Ray and Jin.”

I sincerely wish you well. Kundo, Reina and Jindo are not here.

Even though it ended badly, looking back now, it was a minor thing.
If I had acted like that, it would have been fine as it was, but if that was the case, I wouldn’t have had a relationship with Minerva or any other woman. If you think about it that way, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. I was resentful at first, but that’s okay.
They say that when you have room in your pocket, you have room in your heart.

I left Kun, who was glaring at me in anger, and supported Minerva, who was staggering, and climbed the stairs leading to the VIP room.

“Minerva, isn’t it hard to walk? Can I hug you?”
“…Absolutely hate it!”

Big. Let’s see how long you keep screaming like that.
