ED: Cheerycheri
I stared at Kang Yoo-hyun, just barely holding myself back from shouting at him.
My head throbbed. So now, the problem is just…
“Huh, what… Did you guys just fight each other?”
“Kkuu…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
A dragon and three humans looked at each other in response to my question.
That’s a very very good job.
I clicked my tongue and snapped.
“Are you kidding me, you crazy bastards!?” As I shouted, Kang Soo-hyun, who was behind me, shrugged his shoulders and said—
“No, everyone was quiet at first. But then, Yong-sik woke up…”
“…”
“He made a scene when he found out hyung wasn’t there. He went wild and started emitting poisonous breath. I was shocked and put up a barrier, and Yoo-hyun hyung, who was sitting still, summoned a magic sword…”
Ah… So the original culprit was Yong-sik?
As I lowered my head and looked at Yong-sik, Yong-sik, whose eyes were drooping, looked at me pitifully.
There’s no use looking at me like that. I have to give him a harsh scolding in this situation…!
“Kkyuu…”
I have to scold him…!
“Kkyuuu…”
“…”
I finally sighed when I saw Yong-sik’s drooping eyes.
Yeah, that’s right. It’s all my fault. Leaving Yong-sik alone is a sin, I have sinned!
“Ha… I’m sorry as your dad.”
“Kkyuu, kkyuuu.”
In the end, Park Yoon-sung, who had just said goodbye, came running here. He quickly glanced around the devastated accommodation with a smile on his face.
“Even though it was temporary, it’s not easy for an S-class dragon to break through a cage made of special alloy, especially for one that is quite young.”
“I’m… sorry.”
I bowed my head as I held Yong-sik. I don’t know how many times I’ve caused trouble for the Odin Guild. As I lowered my head further with complicated feelings, Park Yoon-sung’s refreshing voice entered my ears.
“You don’t need to worry about the accommodation, as it will be fixed immediately if I summon someone with restoration skills. However…”
Park Yoon-sung’s gaze fixed itself on Yong-sik in my arms. Yong-sik, who felt the gaze, growled quietly.
“I think you need to train him properly until he grows up. It’ll be a problem if he’s always like this.”
“Ha, yes…”
“Among those with summoning abilities, there are some who are excellent at training summoned monsters. It would be better to have one of those people teach you how to take care of Yong-sik.”
“Really…?”
Is that person Kang Hyung Wook the summoner? Anyway, Park Yoon-sung recommended him, so I think I can trust him. Of course, if Yong-sik is left as he is right now, I don’t know what kind of accident he may cause, and it could cause trouble to lots of people in many ways even if he stays in the accommodation or goes outside.
I nodded as I swiftly made my decision.
“Please take good care of us.”
A summoner trainer. I wonder what kind of person he is? I hope he is a good person like Park Yoon-sung. Maybe I’m also a bit too weak against Yong-sik. I shouldn’t have raised him like that.
As I sighed inwardly, Park Yoon-sung smiled at me as if telling me not to worry. He then continued to talk in a relaxed tone.
“Since I’m here, I’ll make an announcement to everyone as well. The next dungeon raid has been decided.” Park Yoon-sung said and looked at us.
“…!”
It has already been decided. That’s fast.
It was the first dungeon I would enter as a mercenary for the Odin Guild. When I showed a bit of my nervousness, Park Yoon-sung looked at Kang Yoo-hyun and me.
“The dungeon we’re clearing this time is the Sæ dungeon of the Freya Guild. I want you two to participate as representatives of the Odin Guild.”
“Huh? Freya Guild?”
Isn’t that the guild with the Valkyrie combat unit? The unit that has Sung Yoo-bin as one of its leaders?
Besides, the Sæ dungeon must be located in the sea. A certain episode of the novel came to mind.
Come to think of it, this upcoming dungeon raid is when that place would become chaotic because of the dungeon’s abnormality.
I glanced at Kang Yoo-hyun who was standing there silently. It was the place where Kang Yoo-hyun and Sung Yoo-bin had a so-called “affectionate” encounter.
Those two, who started off on the wrong foot, were trapped in the dungeon anomaly and isolated alone together. Kang Yoo-hyun, who felt inwardly indebted to Sung Yoon-jae’s younger sister, Sung Yoo-bin, expressed his true and complicated feelings.
Sung Yoo-bin, whose misunderstanding was resolved, started to like Kang Yoo-hyun, and their relationship started getting closer as the story progressed.
In any case, the Sæ dungeon incident was an important plot point that became a stepping stone for Kang Yoo-hyun and Sung Yoo-bin’s relationship. I can’t just pass up this big event.
Okay, I’ll take this opportunity to push Kang Yoo-hyun and Sung Yoo-bin together, hard. How lucky I will be to be able to witness the main character and the heroine flirting with each other from a front row seat.
As I kept my mouth shut, the two people, whose names had not been called, opened their mouths discontentedly.
“What about me?”
“What about me?”
Eden and Kang Soo-hyun, whose mouths started spouting complaints like those of young children excluded from a field trip, stared at Park Yoon-sung.
No, what’s so good about going to a dungeon? It’s a hundred times better to rest at the accommodation. As I shook my head because I couldn’t understand them, Park Yoon-sung muttered in an awkward tone.
“The Freya Guild only requested support from you two, but…”
“Wouldn’t it be more helpful if I went too?”
“Hmm…”
“I heard that navigating the dungeon is quite complicated.”
Park Yoon-sung looked troubled by Kang Soo-hyun’s words. Moreover, Eden, who had been sitting still, also stood up.
“Where Han Yi-jin goes, I’ll go too.”
“What? Hey, you stay still.”
Does he think this dungeon is worth giving his life for? That dungeon is so dangerous and he still wants to go?
You’re not going to Gangnam to sightsee with your friend, you’re going to a deadly dungeon.
I panicked and rebuked Eden, but he didn’t seem to listen to me. I was frustrated and tried to open my mouth again, but Park Yoon-sung was faster.
“Let’s talk to the Freya Guild.”
“No, wait a minute, Eden…!”
“After signing a contract, when forming a team to raid a dungeon, the ways of which we can use each person and the guild members’ own intentions come first.”
“…”
I couldn’t say anything to Park Yoon-sung, who spoke firmly. Eden was not a child who was one or two years old, and there was no reason I could use to stop him from going.
“Yi Jin-ah, were you going to leave me?”
“Haa, suit yourself, okay.”
When I turned my head away slightly irritated, Eden reached out his hand and clung to my shoulder.
“Are you worried about me?”
“Don’t fuck with me.”
“Ayyy.”
Looking at Eden, who rubbed his face on my shoulder like a puppy, with fed up eyes, something flew out and stuck itself into the ground next to Eden’s feet.
“Huk…!”
What landed precisely at Eden’s feet was an ominous magic sword emitting black light.
“Get away from him.” Kang Yoo-hyun, who spoke in a hideous voice, approached us intimidatingly.
Then Yong-sik, who saw Kang Yoo-hyun, showed his teeth and growled.
“Grrr, kreung!”
“Haa…”
At this rate, things would go awry again in no time. I sighed and shouted.
“Stop fighting, you guys!”
If I’m trained by a summoner trainer, shouldn’t these brute bastards also be trained together?
As I was pressing my palm to my throbbing head, an awakener with the ability to restore the accommodation came running through the door, panting and sweating.
Classical music was quietly playing in the spacious room. The room with Gothic-style furniture, antique decorations, and famous mediaeval paintings, looked like a well-decorated art museum.
There were transparent crystals and white crystals everywhere, from which a strange cold energy flowed out and covered the room. But within that chilly atmosphere, a man hummed casually.
“Hmm, hmm, hmm~”
The husky voice continued to hum along with the accompaniment of classical music. There was an unusual white bathtub in the middle of the large room, where the man hummed while taking a bubble bath.
Translucent blue water droplets slid between the man’s slender fingers. The rich white foam made from the bath salt stuck to his hands. The man kept humming happily while washing himself in the cold water.
Knock, knock.
Light knocks reverberated through the room. The man’s movements suddenly stopped. Translucent drops of water flowed down his forehead. His blue eyes shone sharply through his long wet hair. Immediately the man’s mouth curled into a long upward arc.
“Come on in.”
When his words of permission were granted, someone opened the door and entered. The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the room.
“…Master.”
“…”
The man’s gaze lowered. The person who entered the room was kneeling in front of the bathtub, his head lowered. He caught a glimpse of a white, neat face through the jet black hair.
“Raise your head.
“…”
The man’s words that were said in a low voice caused the person who entered the room to raise his head. He had thick dark eyebrows and glassy pitch-black eyes. His refined face gave off an impression of weakness at first glance, but his expressionless features and sharp eyes made chills run down the spines of those who saw them.
It was the Loki Guild’s S-class hunter, Baek Si Hoo who was kneeling before the man. The blue-eyed man who was carefully observing his beautiful and indifferent face immediately smiled in satisfaction.
“Your face is healing well.”
“Thank you…”
Baek Si Hoo came to visit him with his face half melted. Three A-class healers and several awakeners with detoxification skills were mobilized to treat Baek Si Hoo. It was a number of high class awakeners that could only be wielded and dispatched by someone with great wealth and power.
The man’s lips moved slowly.
“You have to be careful.”
“…”
“Because I especially like your face.”
A sexy vibe flowed out from the man’s smiling face. His androgynous appearance looked more beautiful than most women’s.
The beautiful man was Raisu. The guildmaster of the Laufey Guild, the subject of countless rumors and speculation. He reached out his foamy fingers and traced Baek Si Hoo’s cheek with them.
“Ah, you can get hurt elsewhere. Because when you die, I’ll only keep your face.”
“…”
Baek Si Hoo looked at Raisu with a puzzled expression. Raisu burst into laughter at his serious gaze.
“Haha, I was just kidding. I’m scared.”
“Understood…”
It wasn’t a joke at all, but it was normal for Raisu to say such a mean thing. Baek Si Hoo nodded slightly and showed him his face. There was bubbling foam left all over his face by the fingers that traced it.
“You said, it was a newly hatched dragon that made you like that?”
There was a bit of anticipation in Raisu’s voice.
