Chapter 168 – Boba Not Stupid

#

The next day, I came to the Yongsan Underground Shopping Center for the second time since the day I met Han Yeon-joo.
I decided to meet Lee Se-ah again this evening.
I was surprised that she came to her C class on her own, but luckily I didn’t run into her because I had been to the bathroom.

Just a few days ago, I shocked him by meeting other women all at once, and I felt so sorry if I let him do that again.

Anyway, she made her appointment for the evening and disappeared.
He probably regretted not being able to drag me into his bed yesterday.

I also wanted to finish this quest as quickly as possible, so I thought it wouldn’t be bad to meet her even though it was two days in a row.

After coming to the Yongsan Underground Shopping Center, it was to buy Fat Monster.
Monsters have a unique appearance, and since they were creatures that did not generally exist in the world, there were many people who were curious and interested in them.
Some of them even wanted to keep monsters as pets.

Since supply occurs where there is demand, monsters that can be raised relatively safely by hunters and even ordinary people have appeared on the market.
It’s a maniac field after all, but there are quite a few people digging into this field, and many new species, such as crossbreeding, have been made for pets.

Basically, I wasn’t interested in raising monsters, but when I was living in the guild, there was a maniac among my juniors, so I picked up quite a few stories from him.

Because of that, I also learned what kind of monster Se-ah Kim took me to the dungeon and bit her butt.

Leg me.

They were reptile-type monsters with short legs, but depending on the species, some had poison, so caution was needed in dungeons.
Because of its cute appearance, it was in the limelight by those who raised monsters, but of course, the poison was removed from the pet.

However, the one Lee Se-ah was carrying had poison.
Poisonous monsters were difficult to obtain at normal fat shops.

In the Yongsan Underground Shopping Center, a lot of items sold on the black market were traded, so I thought I should come here if I wanted a monster like that.

I walked around the underground mall for a while and then found the store I was looking for.
There were not a few stores that sold pet monsters, but this store had a different atmosphere for some reason.
The guys on display in a cage were not like the general public in terms of appearance or danger.

Upon entering the store, a well-dressed lady greeted her customer.

“Welcome~ Are you looking for something?”
“Do you have Regmy?”
“Regme?”

The old woman had a sad expression on her face.

“I sold the last remaining one an hour ago~ Are you looking for only Legmi by any chance? Or how about a similar one?”
“I’m looking for a little venomous one.”
“Little… Poisonous one?”

I mentioned poison directly, but the shop owner seemed to take it lightly.

“There are a lot of guys like that. Take your pick. What poison do you want? Strong one? Are you weak?”
“Just enough to paralyze it for a few hours would be good.”
“Then this guy is perfect.”

The aunt lifted one of us from her corner and she brought it towards me.
It had the appearance of a small salamander.
It was much cuter than Regmy.
She raised her big eyes to look right at me and flicked her long tongue.

“Do you know how good this guy is at digesting poison even though he is small? Besides, he is smart and understands people well.”
“You mean people?”
“Yeah, look at this.”

Her aunt brought her face closer to the salamander-like monster and flicked her tongue, saying, “Hiyah, look at this!
It was quite a childish act, but there was a good reason for such an act.

The salamander-like monster looked straight at her aunt and flicked her tongue.
Well, this is something that monsters do all the time, so it might be difficult to say that they particularly understand human speech.

“Ah!”

The old woman who had put her face towards her monster suddenly pulled her face away with her screams.

“Why are you like that? Are you okay?”
“Tongue touched. You got too close.”

Her aunt’s round nose quickly turned red and swollen.
Seeing that it poured like this with just a slight touch, it was clear that it was poisonous.

“Ah~ I threw away my face, this~”

Her aunt groaned as she looked at her face in her hand mirror.

“Aren’t you in need of treatment?”
“What~ When you run a business like this, things like this are not uncommon. It should subside in a few hours, well. By the way.”

The aunt asked, pressing her red, swollen nose.

“I made her face like this and you’re not going to buy it, are you?”

In fact, I was thinking of buying this salamander-like monster regardless of the fact that the lady’s nose was like that.
Because she thought she was a good fit for the purpose.

“What is your name?”
“Boba.”
“Boba?”
“Yes, Boba. Green Boba because your back is green.”

I bought boba for 3 million won.

Boba.
If read backwards, after buying the stupid monster, he went to Kim Hae-na.

It was the first time she had ever bought a pet monster, and she couldn’t figure out what to do to get this guy to spew her venom.
No matter how much I think about it, Kim Hae-na was the only person I knew who could be called an expert in this field.

“Oh my~ Look how cute this guy is~”

While I was greeting Toto, Kim Hae-na showed interest in the pat I brought.

While staring at her, she was communicating with her and asked.

“What is his name?”
“Bobayo.”
“Fool?”
“Boba.”
“Ah~ Stupid~”

Kim Hae-na kept saying that Boba was an idiot.
However, when she talked to the monster by herself, she seemed to understand it because she said “Boba~” Properly.

“Why did you bring him?”
“I don’t know much about Fat Monster. I want to ask what I need to do to get this guy to use poison when I want.”
“Ah~ Are you going to bite someone’s ass with this one?”
“…”

What,
Looking at Kim Hae-na from time to time, I wondered if she was mind-reading.

“It’s not like that.”
“Yes yes. Even so. Please tell me in detail what you want.”

In the end, I told Kim Hae-na what I wanted to do with Boba.
Of course, I didn’t tell her about her Iseah or how she was going to make her Boba bite her.
But as she talked, she felt that, as Kim Hae-na had said, she only wanted someone to bite her ass and poison her.
Although that’s true.

Kim Hae-na told me in detail how to deal with her venomous Fat Monster.
After educating Boba according to her instructions, she felt that she had developed a fondness for him before she knew it.

‘This is why they raise monsters.’

It definitely seemed to have a different charm than dogs or cats.

But even so, I had no intention of continuing to raise this guy.
Because there are too many things to take care of.
No matter how well I understood people, it would of course be difficult to control it the way I wanted.

“Can I give it to Hannah after I finish my business?”
“Are you giving me?”
“Yes, I think I will not grow well.”
“I like it~ Such a cute dumb bar just happens~~”

Kim Hae-na really seemed to like Boba.
She thought that if she were, she would be able to raise any number of poisonous little monsters.

Having learned how to control Boba from Kim Hae-na, I went to meet Lee Se-ah with him hidden in my arms.

She was wearing a more revealing outfit than yesterday.
Apparently, he thought that the reason why I didn’t give in to his temptation yesterday was there.

Anyway, we went to a place where we could solve dinner and drinks together.
Very naturally, Kim Se-ah chose her room as our place to stay.

“You are more attractive the more I look at you~ Why don’t you have a girlfriend yet?”
“Haha, thank you.”

She didn’t say that she didn’t have a girlfriend.
Well, Seah Kim still believes that I fell in love with her at first sight and was snooping around her senior class.

“I have a lot of stress these days.”

When she drank enough, Se-ah Kim suddenly fell on her table and said pamperingly.

“Stress?”
“Yeah~ It’s my senior year, so I’m worried about what to do and what to buy in the future. Proud kids have already been nominated for first-class guilds. Because I am neither this nor me~”

I remembered how Lee Se-ah was doing well in her own way in her previous life.
Such indulging was something other Hunters would feel insignificant if they heard it.
Because no matter how bad the situation is, you have a diploma from Gaon Academy.
It was like being automatically accepted into most guilds with just this.

Because Gaon Academy’s rigorous curriculum is famous.
The professors there were all first-rate.

Of course, those things didn’t apply to me, a C class.

“It’s Sunggyu~”

Seah Lee, who finally started, took her ass off and came to the seat next to her subtly.
