31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 112)
As sighs flowed from the group's mouths as if they had been waiting, an awkward atmosphere was created..
- okay… It's always been like that.
- This is it… This reaction, it's been a while.
- I'll turn that ridicule into cheers!
Han So-mi realized this and smiled awkwardly..
“under… haha… It's as if they made it this way haha... I didn't do it on purpose, brother..”
“…….”
“Hey, Gaegyeongtaek. Please help me out with something.”
“Bro, I think we're in big trouble..”
“hey! wanna die?”
“Ah, what! The reality is, so what should I do? I'm asking you to find the positive here.?”
“That's not it….”
Kang Seol asked the group who were arguing noisily..
“What's the problem??”
Gyeongtaek scratched his head and answered..
“The two who died peacefully were the vanguard of the party. Momppang's body was shattered and he died, so we're left in limbo..”
“Well, actually it is. Whichever of the five died would have been a problem. The option of fighting an unknown enemy was gone, but when Seol's brother appeared, I thought for a moment that there was hope. Ah, there is an older sister in front of me, but since fairies are not transferors,….”
“hmm….”
They hoped that since they had a new power, Kang Seol, they would be able to come up with a new answer in a situation where there was no answer..
‘It's difficult because you're a summoner..’
This is the summoner's perception:.
A job that doesn't really matter whether you're in the party or not..
Kang Seol didn’t bother to say anything about their perception. Anyway, you won't believe it unless you show it..
“It worked out better. This way, you can just focus on your goal without being distracted. Gyeongtaek, isn’t that right??”
“…That's right. From the beginning, I was going to do that regardless of whether my brother came or not..”
target.
What are their goals?.
“What is your current goal??”
“I know where this is?”
“Isn’t it a great forest??”
“Yes. This is your second adventure.?”
“Yes, my first adventure was also in the great forest. It looks like he happened to be nearby and got caught up in an unexpected adventure..”
“also… I guess you entered the Great Forest alone.?”
“That's right.”
“Clumsy….”
“yes?”
“It's clumsy, it's clumsy. Are you as relieved as usual? Something like, ‘It’s an area that doesn’t usually have any problems, so a solo adventure would be fine.’.”
Han So-mi judged Kang-seol's situation on her own, nodding her head with an expression that seemed like she knew that feeling..
I thought it would be perfect if I tapped him on the shoulder like that..
As if I were a detective.
Kangseol smiled and joined him..
“how did you know?”
“uh? Of course… Because we did it?”
- I'm proud! lol
- Powerful and proud!
- It was a guess based on experience.
“Hmm… Anyway, my brother said he knew that this was the middle of a forest... Can you predict the exact location??”
“…Are you very close to the center??”
“That's correct. Wow, creepy….”
“Don't make a fuss, sister. Anyone can predict that much..”
“Shut up, Gae Gyeong-taek! Don't interrupt everything your sister says..”
snowfall asked.
“Don't you two live together for a long time??”
“no!”
“No, who!”
“They're so sick of each other. He's just climbing up..”
“They're one year older than me, but it's not funny that they climb on each other.?”
“Where is this….”
The situation has become noisy again.
Kyung-taek Cho and So-mi Han, who were arguing, stopped when Kang Seol looked bored..
“Surprisingly, this place seems to be close to the center of the forest. We also ended up here because our guide died along with us..”
“Weren't you planning on going into the center??”
“Are you crazy? Why are you going in there? I want to get out of here as soon as possible. I want to take a quick bath in hot bath water..”
The center of the Great Forest was densely populated with monsters for unknown reasons. Also, in most cases, I never left that place..
“Is the place where those vanguards died close to here??”
“ah… yes. The trouble was that they conducted reconnaissance so sincerely that they entered deep into the area. In the first place, it was okay to just pretend..”
“…….”
“This is just my monologue, so don't worry about it, bro..”
- I can hear it, but how can I not pay attention lol?
- He’s also an unusual kid..
“If you are close to the center of the forest... I guess your top priority now is to get back to Nobira..”
“Yeah, maybe… I don't know if the monsters that have come out will catch up with us, but based on the most hopeful circuit, we can reach a safe place in at most 3 days or at least 2 days..”
“2, 3You must either increase the distance by a few days to avoid the chase, or secretly move to Nobira.….”
“Yes, after that, it wasn't a large-scale monster invasion, and I don't know what it was, but a rather powerful monster came out, so Nobira will be able to respond. The adventurers who evacuated this time are also gradually coming back, so that's enough..”
That will be enough for the scout's role..
“Now, let’s plan a route to return..”
* * *
Not long after the group headed to Nobira, Han So-mi spoke..
“It would be nice if it stayed like this.”
“I'm going to say something ominous like that?”
It was then.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa-!
flinch.
Everyone except Kang Seol and Karen covered their ears and put their heads to the ground..
‘It's nearby..’
The monster was not far away..
Snowfall scratched her chin and waited for them all to wake up again..
“Huh... omg… Did you hear it??”
“It's absolutely amazing. Well, it all sounds like a monster.?”
“Ugh, I want to go back soon… Is it still far away??”
“We're leaving now, man.?”
“sorry….”
Shinmun-ho looks timid.
He stayed quiet all the time while others expressed their opinions..
“also… Did we move too hastily? Should I have waited and moved during the day??”
“I don't know what that monster is, but I don't know which decision is right..”
“Yes? Then we should keep going?”
snowfall said.
“First of all, it is important to get as far away from the center as possible. Even if the worst happens and you encounter monsters, you only have to deal with them if you are away from the center..”
“The monsters I encountered are currently in a difficult situation, so it's better to avoid encountering them as much as possible... . I understood what you said..”
“…Let's get out of this place as carefully as possible..”
Everyone nodded..
So they slowed down towards Nobira to avoid attracting the monster's attention..
Although the speed decreased slightly, it was steadily moving forward and since it continued to walk without saying a word, it was already a considerable distance from its initial location..
No, actually, it was inappropriate to say it already..
It had already been a long time since dawn, and considering the time we had walked, it was not a small amount of time..
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Cooung…
I felt a slight vibration in the ground, as if something huge was moving in the distance..
“I don't know if other transferees who came out to scout will be caught up in it..”
“You should worry about us first..”
“haha… I guess so, right? Oppa, but I keep walking and I'm getting tired. It's been a while since I couldn't sleep or eat properly..”
“…Let's take a rest.”
“Is that so??”
Karen found a suitable place and gestured..
“It would be difficult to find here because it's covered in bushes..”
“after… thank god.”
“First of all, I'm so sleepy and hungry..”
“Now, let’s close our eyes for a moment and let’s go..”
They settled down in a fairly spacious space hidden by bushes..
“under… I think I will buy it. When will we move again??”
This came about because there were no special attacks at night..
Kang Seol answered.
“The daytime seems more dangerous, so let's rest like this and move when the sun goes down..”
“There will be quite a bit of time left. eww… I'll get some sleep, but I'm hungry..”
“Have we run out of food??”
“All the food I had was gone. There are a lot of things that were crushed along with those vanguards. Originally, it would have been possible to be self-sufficient in the forest, but as you know, if you go looking for food, you will end up as food.….”
Everyone looked listless..
The way to make humans unhappy as quickly as possible is to starve them. They looked like it had been a while since they had a proper meal..
“Do you have a favorite food??”
“In this situation, I feel hungry for no reason.….”
“Brother, I have some food.?”
“It's not like it doesn't exist.”
“really? Then, can you give me at least a little bit of dried food? I will soak it in water and eat it..”
“do you want to eat something?”
“I? I am… Meat, meat is the best.”
“Gyeongtaek was a part-time worker at a meat restaurant. While he was wondering what to do after graduating from high school, I heard he worked as a server at a restaurant..”
“My older sister was a third year student..”
“hey! Who says!”
“Well, who's going to tell me about my past??”
“Why don’t you give up! Shouldn’t we applaud him for taking on the challenge with determination? And there aren't that many of my classmates who went to college before me and are still alive. huh? okay? This is how independent my sister is. How to survive alone!”
“Ho... That's why you're telling me about your life experiences just because you're one year older than me.?”
“Me, brother. Excuse me, but if you're not busy, why don't you kill the monster named Gae Gyeong-taek with me? I will pay you generously..”
“I'll give you twice as much, so please drop that sister into the fire pit of hell first..”
The question Kangseol just asked was clearly what he wanted to eat. But why did the conversation get to the point where they are killing each other?.
He smiled without realizing it..
It reminds me of my younger siblings when I was in orphanage..
- Ah, Seol oppa! Look at this guy!
- Ebebebebe! I'm reaching out to my brother again! As early as one day, you'll be sleeping, fat boy! Oh my gosh, look at this guy.!
- and! Seed… It's childish so it's even more annoying, hey! Don't come here?
- hit me?
- I'll show you what a girl crush is. I will destroy you! - Evil! evil! What power... Stop hitting me!
It was a blurry memory now..
Snowfall was immersed in a lingering mood for a moment as the memories of that time and the current situation overlapped..
“It's been a while since I starved?”
“uh… a little over a day?”
“wait. I'll try to make something that won't be burdensome..”
“yes… yes? They say they make it.?”
The snowfall instantly created a small hole and a warming stone was placed in it. If you burn firewood, monsters may notice this place and come..
profit…
“uh… That's mosquito repellent.?”
“It's an odor blocking scent, you idiot. Don't adventurers know anything about that? How did she survive until now? huh? please….”
“Sister, I just asked you if it was mosquito repellent. You're preparing to hate me?”
Suddenly.
When the insulating stone was overloaded, a small noise was heard from the insulating stone..
One of the things I learned while making and eating food was how to use insulating stones..
By overloading the insulating stone like this, it became excellent firewood for a short time..
It was a disposable method because it could not be used again later..
A small pot was set up on the insulating stone, and the ingredients in Kang Seol's bag of ingredients were put into it one by one..
Since I cleaned it in advance and put it in the food bag, I didn't ask for any separate cleaning..
‘The stuff I bought at the madness store is quite useful..’
Snowfall's food ingredients bag was something I bought from Janet at the Madness Store. A very good product that maintains the freshness of food ingredients..
The price wasn't that expensive either. Of course, from Kang Seol’s perspective, it was like that..
A little time passed, and a damp scent wafted out..
Their noses found the scent unfamiliar..
“uh… Uh... I also cooked?”
“Cooking is a talent.”
“My God, there was someone who chose talent like that? I thought it was just for decoration! There was cleaning in the next row, so I….”
“hey! Is that something you would say in front of the person serving you food? Oppa, I chose it because family men are the trend these days.?”
“no.”
“…….”
- What's with that sullen expression, Han So-mi haha?
- These people are so pure haha.
- I'm waiting next to you haha
Soon, the dish was ready..
[The dish is ready.]
[Porridge with pickled venison and chopped vegetables is ready.]
[It smells good. The dish was a success.]
[My cooking skills are a bit poor..]
gulp…
Kyungtaek Gyeongtaek swallowed his saliva and said..
“…kill.”
Karen laughed..
“Why do I keep having to kill someone? Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk….”
“uh? Oh no, it's just the smell….”
Han So-mi saw that and made fun of it again..
“Look at his face getting red. I can't come to my senses because I'm talking to a pretty girl, it's just that. I understand, sister. This is because he hasn't met a girl yet.”
“…let's not talk.”
Kang Seol scooped up a bowl of porridge and served it to them..
Whoop…
Something hot slowly went down into their stomachs..
And the response was like this.
“Mr. Seol, I will eat well. This is so delicious. I could sell it?”
“I think being a summoner is pretty cool.?”
“The summoner is a great help to the party. I didn't know. Who is scolding me?”
- yes? I haven't summoned you yet.?
- And you were the one who said it was boring lol.
- The summoner must also learn to cook... memo…
Han So-mi laughed heartily while eating porridge as if this situation was funny..
“I'm really lucky to have met you. I didn't know I'd be eating something like this before I went back..”
“It's no big deal.”
“no no. Really lucky. I don't think anything will happen until I get back..”
- If you say that, it will definitely happen.
- You're crossing the line…
Kyung-taek Cho helped out..
“There's still an empty seat, but who's not going to set us up for another unexpected adventure??”
- Trash bastard hahahaha
- ??? : Ah, I'll just have to live and see it first haha.
Somi Han sympathized..
“It would be perfect if just that person came here..”
“that person? Oh that….”
Kang Seol was curious about what the two were talking about and asked..
“who?”
“Don't you know? This time, I saved all the people who were captured by Yognathun..”
The speed at which snowfall scoops up spoons gradually slows down..
