Episode 59
A quiet tent where only silence flows.
Kim Eun-ah was gradually waking up from an unknown feeling of frustration. But still a hazy mind.
‘…Yes?’
I tried to turn over, but I couldn’t. Someone was hugging Kim Eun-ah from behind.
‘What is this?’
Kim Eun-ah’s face turned pale.
‘No way… Poetry Shin Yooseong! W Also! I knew it would be like this!’
As the thought reached that point, Kim Eun-a’s body gradually stiffened.
‘What should I do!? But is this intentional? Isn’t that a mistake!? Do you have a habit of hugging someone when you sleep!?’
On the other hand, Kim Eun-ah is going through a huge internal conflict in her head. Someone approached from behind and put their lips to Kim Eun-ah’s ear.
Stand up!
Sensation of standing hairs all over the body.
Kim Eun-ah, who was blushing at the action that could hardly be considered a mistake, clenched her fists in anger.
‘Really, really… I’m going to kill you…’
This is something that even my brother’s benefactor can never tolerate. The moment Kim Eun-ah was about to shake off her arms and scream.
I heard someone’s faint muttering in my ear.
“Huh… Black! Mmmmmmmm… My Karaage is more delicious…”
The identity of the voice was Sumire.
Sumire even munched Kim Eun-ah’s ears like food.
“no! Is this crazy…”
Kim Eun-ah got up from her seat and blushed.
“hey! Aren’t you sleeping well!?”
Enraged, Kim Eun-ah rolled Sumire with her foot.
“…Huh.”
Sumire made a sound of air escaping and moved farther away to the corner of the tent. Kim Eun-ah wipes Sumire’s saliva from her ear with a handkerchief she took out of her pocket.
“Ah! Dirty real…”
After grumbling for a while, Eunah Kim glared at Sumire, who was stuck in the corner, and sighed. In the end, Kim Eun-ah, as if she was nervous, threw the blanket over Sumire.
Whoops.
Kim Eun-ah unzipped the tent and came out. The forest at dawn had a strangely distinctive smell. A breath of fresh air.
Kim Eun-ah straightened her back and looked out into the distance in the forest.
‘…the sun will rise in a little while.’
As a rule of thumb, the remaining time is 1 to 2 hours.
‘…Shouldn’t Shin Yoo-seong catch Yeow-ryong anyway?’
Thinking so, Kim Eun-ah’s expression was not good. He shouted that he was strong and that his electrical characteristics were the best in Korea, but it was not helpful in this situation.
compatibility of properties.
There was nothing I could do about it because it was an opponent with no electricity. However, Kim Eun-ah felt like she was running away with an excuse.
‘But I can’t help it. The electricity doesn’t go through…’
Kim Eun-ah, who is in trouble with her impression hardened. Then the zipper of the tent came down.
Whoops.
Shin Yoo-seong walks out of the tent knowing when he is ready.
“Aya. You woke up so early?”
“You are.”
“Now it’s time to prepare the trap.”
“traps?”
Kim Eun-ah showed interest in the trap story she heard for the first time. Shin Yoo-seong smiled slightly and took out the glue and tools he had collected yesterday from his pocket.
“It’s made by slowly grinding this herb with a stone.”
The herbs that Shin Yoo-seong brought out were astrological herbs and styrus.
Zuug! Swoop!
When the viscous herb was ground with a stone, a sticky liquid came out, and when Styrus was ground together, the liquid turned grayish.
“What is this?”
“When morning comes, the water dragon comes out of the lake and lies down on the biggest rock.”
“I roughly heard what you said…”
Kim Eun-ah seemed to recall what Shin Yoo-seong said in the portal zone.
“What would happen if I put this juice on the rock?”
The grayish ooze was similar in color to rock and seemed sticky. Kim Eun-a thought, Hmmm, and then looked closely at the essence.
“…It’s that big, will it work?”
“When the water of the scales touches, the adhesion of the viscous herb becomes stronger. And the larger the volume, the larger the area.”
Shin Yoo-seong’s detailed explanation made Kim Eun-ah’s expression darken. Kim Eun-ah looked straight at Shin Yoo-seong’s face.
“…you are amazing.”
Pure admiration, not sarcasm.
Shin Yuseong was born with F-class characteristics, but he devoted himself to training in Mt.
Proof of this is that he always does his best by preparing traps even when catching shoal dragons.
Kim Eun-ah had a bitter taste.
‘…I think about it. They’re all right.’
Like someone’s gossip.
‘I was just lucky.’
beautiful appearance.
A family with a great background.
A characteristic whose potential is counted in one hand.
Come to think of it, Kim Eun-ah did not achieve anything on her own.
‘…Even against monsters, they blame it on their compatibility. …stupid.’
back.
Kim Eun-ah bit her lip.
‘As expected, I…’
Kim Eun-ah looked at Shin Yoo-seong, who was grinding herbs. Shin Yoo-seong worked hard even in the worst situation, and even though he was lucky, he only blamed something. Maybe that’s why she couldn’t save her brother.
“…hey.”
Kim Eun-ah, who was deeply troubled, called Shin Yoo-seong. When Shin Yoo-seong turned her head, Kim Eun-ah opened her mouth with a serious face.
“It’s kind of like… It might be a strange request…”
Sumire just came out and rubbed her eyes as she approached.
“Aww… I woke up too…”
Kim Eun-ah stopped talking after checking Sumire’s approach. Yoosung Shin looked up at Eunah Kim.
“Is it Eun?”
“There are some. I will tell you.”
Kim Eun-ah seems to want to talk when the two of them are alone. Reluctantly, Shin Yoo-seong stood up with a sample bottle containing the essence. Then he walked over to the rock and opened the sample canister.
Swoop.
Shiny oil is applied to a large rock by soaking the leaves in the juice.
“Now before the sun rises. Let’s all hide ourselves.”
Shin Yoo-seong, who installed the trap, is not satisfied, so let’s weave grass and bring it. Kim Eun-ah asked with a puzzled face.
“Hiding? But what is it?”
“You have to wear camouflage to hide. Shall we all apply mud on our heads first?”
Shin Yoo-seong answered Kim Eun-ah’s question as if it were natural.
“yes yes?! Is it mud?”
“Are you kidding me?”
Sumire swallowed a gulp and Kim Eun-ah looked at her eyes. However, Shin Yoo-seong was sincere.
Even when dealing with monsters weaker than himself, he mobilizes all means and is fully prepared. That was Shin Yoosung’s method.
* * *
The sun rising in the sky.
Yoosung Shin. Eunah Kim. Sumire. The party of three was crouching in the quiet forest like predators seeking their prey.
Kim Eun-ah, with grass woven into her hair, was already crying.
‘Is it going this far?’
Of course, Kim Eun-ah avoided applying mud because she was stubborn, but the three of them had already assimilated into the natural grass.
time passing by.
Even Kim Eun-ah was feeling drowsy in the warmer weather when she heard a distant sound.
cooong! thud!
With the sound of huge footsteps, the shoal dragon walked out onto land.
“Kreung… Kaaaaaa!”
Then, looking up at the sky, an unidentified roar.
Good food!
Birds frightened by the sound flew all from the trees. The Lord of Mount Everline. owner of the lake. Yeowryong approached the rock with a confident step, like many names attached to him.
dump!
“…Kreung?”
and lay down But that was a mistake. What is applied to the rock is the essence of the viscous herb. As the ooze clung to it, the yewryong struggled to get off the rock.
cooong!
A shallow dragon that lost its balance and fell off a rock. Seeing an opportunity, Sumire shouted loudly towards the forest.
“Mr. Death Knight!”
“It’s the master’s order… attack everyone!”
rumble!
A Death Knight riding a Skeleton Horse and various Skeleton Soldiers ran towards the Shyulryong.
Whiririk!
A Skeleton Soldier who casts a net to block the Shyul Dragon. Enraged, the yewryong swung its huge forepaw.
Kwaaaaang!!
The Skeleton Soldiers who get shattered by Yeowryong’s forepaws and are quickly reverse summoned. After all, the skeletons were just bait to pass the time.
Kim Eun-ah and Shin Yoo-seong looking at each other.
When our eyes met, Kim Eun-ah nodded and smiled.
“thanks.”
After that, Kim Eun-ah ran towards Yeo Wool-ryong. On the other hand, Shin Yoo-seong stands still. It was all because of the promise we made earlier.
[…Hey Yooseong. Can we catch the water dragon by ourselves?]
[Yes, yes!? Without Shin Yoo-seong… Uh Eun-ah and me?]
Kim Eun-ah also knew that her request was unreasonable. Dangerous actual combat, not sparring. If it was the standard, you had to use the strength of Shin Yoo-seong to succeed in the attack as quickly as possible.
However, Kim Eun-ah’s eyes are more serious than ever. For Kim Eun-ah, the current attempt was an important challenge.
Blame it and make excuses.
If you give up because the given situation is unfavorable, nothing will change. Kim Eun-ah has already avoided too many situations.
Because I’m afraid of being used.
Because I’m afraid of being betrayed.
Because she was afraid of losing someone who gave her heart like her brother. Kim Eun-ah has avoided meeting people.
There is no parting without meeting.
There is no pain without joy.
So I ran away with various excuses and hit a wall in my heart. However, Kim Eun-ah came to know Shin Yoo-seong.
‘…I.’
If you don’t try, nothing happens. It doesn’t change either. It just stays still. It just waits for it to rot like stagnant water.
Kim Eun-ah did not want to be like that.
Kim Eun-ah already knew someone who ran away on her own because she could not overcome the expectations of those around her.
‘…No matter how much damage. Nothing can be solved.’
What Kim Eun-ah needs right now is nothing else but courage. It was the courage to challenge and change oneself. Shin Yoo-seong smiled at Kim Eun-ah, who made a promise.
“As expected, Eun-ah, are you strong?”
Shin Yoo-seong knew it the moment he saw Kim Eun-ah’s eyes. Also, his feelings were not wrong. Kim Eun-ah was a ‘hunter with excellent potential’ like the story of Kwon Wang.
Great!
“Koooooo-!”
The yewryong raises its head to the sky and begins howling.
Damn! Paperweight!
Kim Eun-ah clapped her hands and covered her body with electricity, then answered Shin Yoo-seong with a confident smile.
“of course. Who am I?”
Tadak!
With those words, Kim Eun-ah ran out. Dealing with compatible monsters is a serious problem that cannot guarantee safety. However, Shin Yoo-seong stood upright and quietly watched the attack.
Shin Yoo-seong believed in the party members, and
Kim Eun-ah wanted to change herself more than ever. So the efficiency of the attack was not important.
