Shin Hyuwon raised her hand.
Shouldn't we help now?
She looked anxious worrying about the case in which Cho Jaeheon gets seriously injured.
Soon after, Choi Sunoh also agreed with her.
I think this is enough. Of course, he'll have to pay more for his mistakes.
Except for the two, the other three stared at me.
It seemed like they left the decision to me.
Then shall we slowly step up and help?
We got up from our seats and approached Cho Jaeheon and Leader Raptor.
The cleaning up was not difficult.
Jin's all-out magic has already hit the Leader Raptor once, so as soon as it took another hit, it fell down without much resistance.
[Defeated the Leader Raptor]
[Absorbing the fragments of the Earth's soul]
As soon as we killed the Leader Raptor, Cho Jaeheon, who was completely exhausted, collapsed on the spot.
Jin and I approached and looked at him.
Hmm he doesn't seem to be hurt. I think he just fainted after using all his energy.
I didn't like him from the start, but I'm sure he had pretty good skills. I can't believe that he fought so hard against Leader Raptor and didn't get hurt."
Choi Sunoh, who came late, added.
That's why he has been in the guild until now. There were really a lot of bad rumors about him, but I didn't expect he would do such a cowardly thing.
What will happen to Cho Jaeheon, now?
Intentional obstruction inside the Rift is a serious crime. If reported to the guild, a case will naturally be filed with the association. He'll be criminally punished as soon as hes found guilty.
Is it that easy? What if this guy doesn't admit to his crime?
Choi Sunoh gave a slightly troubled look to my question.
When I didn't understand why he was reacting like that, Jin tapped on my shoulder.
Brother, you don't know that? Didn't you study for the guild writing test?
Uh Sorry, I didn't have enough time back then, so I didnt see through all the questions.
Oh, this is an important thing, so please remember it.
Ah.Okay
Jin looked at me pathetically and scratched his head with an awkward look.
Choi Sunoh smiled quietly and continued his explanation.
He'll probably plead guilty unconditionally. If he didn't plead guilty during the police investigation, the judges of Angel Realm will intervene. If the truth gets revealed during that time, it wont end up simply as a criminal punishment..
Do Angels look into these kinds of issues?
They think destroying the Rifts is a part of the balancing act. So they hate it when they hear someone interrupted in that process."
Oh
I nodded in wonder at the information I heard for the first time.
If the criminal penalty is confirmed, not only will he be expelled from the guild, but he will also be suspended as an awakener. His career will be practically finished.
I murmured as I looked down at the fainted Cho Jaeheon.
Why did he do such a thing?
Bitter feelings passed through the faces of the three of us.
But, that didn't make me sympathetic or anything.
It's all his own fault.
Mister Si! How long are you going to be there like that? Help us clean up the mess! There's a lot of work to do here!
Taeho's cry came from afar.
We left the fainted Cho Jaeheon alone and headed to where the other party members were.
Ah! Why are there so many?
I groaned at the sight of so many Raptor bodies.
I felt dizzy thinking that we had to dismantle all this.
However, we can't just leave all these bodies alone.
Taeho and Sehe, who are working on dismantling the Raptor bodies, showed difficulties on their faces.
Choi Sunoh and Shin Hyuwon, who were familiar with this situation, were also struggling.
I resented Cho Jaeheon, who fainted comfortably.
Jin, are we supposed to be this tough job every time we enter a Rift?
It cant be helped. If you don't want to do this, you can join the attack squad. We have a separate crew on the attack squad for this kind of thing. What do you think? Do you want to join the attack squad?
Once again Jin bought the story of joining the attack squad.
Now I had no energy to deal with him, so I just turned my head and ignored him.
While working hard on the dismantling, a General Poison Ant approached me.
Kikikiiiiii.
Huh? Is there something you want to say?
Kikiiiii!
?
General Poison Ant pointed to Raptor's body and explained something to me eagerly.
After a while, I realized the intention of the General Poison Ant and looked surprised.
Huh? Is that possible?
Kikiiki!
General Poison Ant nodded its head.
I was lost in thought for a moment with an expression of uncertainty.
Um well, it's not gonna be a big deal if I give it a try. shall I do it as the General Poison Ant said?
I held the Summoning stone in my hand.
I focused my attention.
Whoo!
Whoo!
Whoo!
Whoo!
With the strong light and vibration flowing from the summoning stone, small groups of light appeared one by one in front of me.
Poison Ants started coming out from the light.
Kiiiiiiiii!
Kiiiiiiiii!
Worker Poison Ants, which are much smaller than General Poison Ants, appeared.
They looked around for a while, and then flocked to me and looked up at me calmly.
It seemed like they were waiting for orders.
Well guys, can you help me?
Kiiii!
Kiiiiii!
The worker Poison Ants who heard me immediately dispersed and started working.
They quickly began to find Soul stones and Magic stones from the Raptor's body.
Uhuh?!
Oh, were they also summoned by Sihyeon?
Wow! look at these guys. They work incredibly fast!
The party members were amazed at the worker Poison Ants who handled the work in a flash.
Not only did they find Soul stones and Magic stones, but they also neatly separated the meat and skin of the Raptor.
The slow dismantling work proceeded several times faster.
Jin said to me in a dumbstruck voice.
Wow If it's like this, only one person is enough to clean up the mess. In addition, they don't even have labor costs, do they?
No labor costs. I just need a Summoning stone.
Can you lend me those poisonous ants? I think it'd be really convenient to take a few of them every time we go into a Rift.
Huh I don't think the rumors in the guild are exaggerated but rather underwhelming. I've never heard of anyone using Summons like this.
Shin Hyuwon and Choi Sunoh also expressed envy and surprise.
The work that I thought would take quite a while ended in a flash.
In front of the party were neatly classified Magic Stones, Soul Stones, Raptor Leather, and Meat.
The worker Poison Ants gathered before me again.
One of them came close to me.
KiKiiiii!
Huh?
Kiiiiiiiiiiii!
Ahokay. Wait a minute.
I understood what the Worker Poison Ants wanted, so I went to the party members and asked.
Hey, do you need the Raptor meat here?
Choi Sunoh answered my question.
Meat? Hmm You can sell it if you take it, but it's not that valuable. It's normal to just pack the skin.
So if you don't mind, can I give it to the Poison Ants? They seem to want to eat the meat.
I don't mind.
We've got so much help, of course, we should give it to them.
I'm fine, brother.
Me, too.
After obtaining the consent of all the members, I gave permission to the Worker Poison Ants to eat the meat.
As soon as the permission was given, the Worker Poison Ants moved busily again.
They first approached the General Poison Ants with the Raptor meat.
When the Worker Poison Ants handed over the meat, the General Poison Ants took the meat and ate them.
After that, they came to me and handed me the meat.
I'm fine. You guys eat it.
Kiiiiii?
The Worker Poison Ant tilted its head as if it didn't understand.
The other guys joined in and kept bringing me meat.
It felt a little cute when they tried to take care of me even though it wasnt forced.
It's really okay. Im fine. You guys eat to your hearts content.
Chew. Chew. Chew. Chew. Chew.
After a few rejections, the Worker Poison Ants took the meat back and started eating it by themselves.
[Poison Ant's Stats increased due to Raptor meat]
[Poison Ant's Stats increased due to Raptor meat]
Oh! There's such an effect!
The feeling of joy was conveyed by looking at the poison Ants.
And all the Poison Ants were again enveloped in a cluster of light and the Summon got lifted.
Thanks to the poison Ants, we've cleaned up the mess. Shall we get out now?
Everyone nodded with joy at Jin's words.
The party came out through the newly created exit.
The first thing we did as soon as we came out was to transfer the fainted Cho Jaeheon to the hospital by ambulance.
He regained consciousness just before he was put in the ambulance, but he just made a blank face and said nothing.
All the Soul stones acquired from the Rift were submitted to the government official.
At the same time, Jin and Choi Sunoh testified about the unsavory incident that happened inside the Rift.
At first, the public official did not seem to believe Cho Jaeheon's unexpected behavior, but he nodded to the consistent testimony of all the other party members.
I'll contact the police to check the facts first. If what you're saying is true, we will deprive Cho Jaeheon's status as an awakener.
It was the same as what Choi Sunoh said.
In addition, Jin said he would take charge of reporting it to the guild.
The party went to do the final clean-up.
Some loaded the buses with Magic stones and Raptor skins acquired from Rift, while others repaired the dirty guild equipment.
Of course, people with personal equipment checked their own equipment.
Jin taught me how to maintain the equipment and examined his equipment very carefully.
You're looking very closely. Isn't it bothersome?
Even if it's bothersome, I have to. It's something that has to do with my life. I'm sure it's the same for everyone else.
As he said, Choi Sunoh and Shin Hyuwon were also diligently checking the equipment even though they were tired.
I thought it would feel different if I had my personal equipment.
Do I have to buy my own personal gear, too? The weapons are so frustrating that I can't feel the will to fight.
It's not bad to adjust your personal gear slowly. Our guild's equipment is quite high-quality. And why don't you think about weapons after you learn reinforcement magic first?
Reinforcement magic
Do you want me to introduce you to someone who can help you in the guild?
No, that's fine.
I rejected Jin's suggestion, recalling Alfred.
The equipment maintenance time was over after a long time.
It took longer than I thought because it was my first time doing it.
As I tried to get up from my seat, I heard a groaning sound from the side.
Sehe was still wrestling with the equipment.
Sehe, can I help you?
What? Oh, no Uncle. I can do it alone.
Sehe said she could do it alone, but her face screamed for help.
I grabbed her equipment and started cleaning it.
I'm sorry, Uncle
It's okay, it's okay. It's over after this, right? Wash your hands first and wait. I'll be done in a minute.
Sehe hesitated and couldn't leave me.
After telling her a few times that I was fine, she went to wash up first.
~~
When I was in the middle of organizing the equipment I heard my cell phone ringing.
When I was thinking about what to do because my hands were dirty, Sehe, who washed her hands first, rushed to me.
Do you want me to check?
Can you just confirm who it is?
UhOkay.. I think it's a call from Seo Yerin.
Um
I was a little worried if it was an urgent phone call regarding children.
Shall I answer for you?
Then tell her to call me later if it's not urgent.
Wait a minute.
Sehe answered the phone on my behalf
It's Uncle Sihyeon's cell phone Yes, he's organizing the equipment next to me. If it's not urgent, please contact him later. . . . . Ah okay . . . . . . Uncle she says it's urgent. What should I do?
Okay Sehe, I'm sorry, but can you put it on speakerphone for a while?
As I asked, Sehe changed it to speakerphone mode.
I didnt think it would be a big deal
Yes, Yerin. Why did you call?
Contrary to my expectations, it really seemed to be a big deal!
Yerin's extremely excited voice flowed through my cell phone.
Her loud voice naturally attracted the attention of people around me.
Maybe I shouldn't have put it on speakerphone
I had a bit of regret at the louder voice than I thought.
I thought I should hang up quickly before things got any bigger.
What's the matter?
-Well, the kids finished a very difficult Lego. Isn't that amazing?
Behind her voice came the loud laughter of the children.
It was ridiculous, but on the other hand, I was relieved that the children seemed to be playing well.
Okay, I'll call you later unless it's urgent. I'm hanging up.
-Sperenza? Do you want to talk on the phone, too?
Hey! No, wait! This speakerphone.
Before I could finish my sentence, a bright and cute voice came out of my phone.
-PapaPapa.Papaaaaaaaaaa..When are you cominggggggggggg
Speranza's voice echoed through the surroundings.
Forgetting my hands were dirty, I quickly snatched the cell phone from Sehe's hand.
Uh I'll call you later.
I quickly ended the call.
There was a heavy silence around.
All of the party members could not hide the surprise on their faces.
Perhaps even if the skin of the Leader Raptor came back alive, no one would be surprised like they are now.
Hmm, hmm! I'm done organizing the equipment. Shall I go and wash up?
I tried to escape the situation by acting as if nothing serious happened.
But there seems to be no way out of this crisis!
Soon, Jin stopped me in a low voice.
UhBrother. You know we have to drive together on the way back, right?
Uh I have an emergency, can't I take a taxi alone?
Never! Don't even dream about it!
The end of a busy day's schedule seems to be a lot rougher.
