Episode 160
Sophia liked observation.
But what’s more fun than observation is classifying objects based on what you know.
Adela’s expression, which always seems insensitive, actually has a level of emotion.
Step 1 first.
Eyebrows moving slightly.
If Adela’s eyebrows moved up even a little, that meant she was in a very good mood.
Conversely, lower your eyebrows?
‘…That means there’s something going against your heart.’
Today’s Adela had eyebrows pointing upwards. It’s a very-very-subtle difference, but the tips of her lips were raised slightly.
‘That’s a sign that I’m in a great mood!’
But that wasn’t Adela’s biggest signal.
Long white fingers holding a teacup. What Sofia paid attention to was Adela’s little finger.
‘…He’s even holding up his little finger today!’
Adela’s raising her little finger as she lifted her teacup was the superlative sign of good mood.
What was it that made Adela so happy?
smart smart
Then someone knocked on the room’s door. Sofia opens the door to check on the guests.
“oh! You are Sophia.”
Short Sofia raised her head towards the source of the sound. Standing in front of me was a tall man with silver hair like Adela.
Italian legend.
silver wind. Aden Ortensia.
“hi. little girl. Haha, are you a member of our Adela party?”
“Ah, Dennim!”
Sophia’s eyes, reflected through the glasses, widened. To be able to face one of the hunters who are called the legend of the tower.
It was a great honor for a student who hadn’t even been on active duty yet.
“Oh I guess you know me?”
“Ah Aden Ortensia. Born in Milan on March 1, 1965. Although he was called the silver-haired paladin at the beginning of his career. Attacking the 40th floor of the tower and acquiring the nickname Silver Wind… Constellation is…” Let
Sophia spit out a stream of information without even breathing, her eyes shining. Aden, perhaps embarrassed, touched the back of his head and laughed.
“I didn’t know you knew that in detail… I’ve heard a lot about you too. That’s Leon, right?”
“The party leader. my story? And my name is Sophia…”
“…I see.”
Arden looked shy.
‘…party leader.’
Hey, how could he mistake himself, who is less than 160 with brown hair, with Leon, who is over 180 with blonde hair? In the first place, Leon is a man and he is a woman.
‘really. You didn’t say a word about us.’
I know you don’t seem interested, but that’s it. Sophia was shocked, but nodded.
“Then inside…. By the way, the temperature in the room is 22 degrees. Humidity is maintained at 50%. If you feel uncomfortable…”
“No! no! Thank you. That is enough.”
Aden smiled and walked over to Adela.
“Adela. It’s been a while.”
Arden and Adela sat down at the table facing each other.
“…okay.”
It was all because of this that Adela seemed unusually happy. Sophia took out a notebook from her seat in the corner.
For Sophia, who likes to observe, there was no better subject than this.
A meeting between the legendary hunter Aden and the best prospect Adela!
‘…But not in public, here! Just… one grandfather and granddaughter!’
What will Aden show to her granddaughter? Will the legendary Hunter show the appearance of a normal and caring grandfather in front of his granddaughter?
‘What I’m curious about most of all. Lady Adela!’
Arden is Adela’s only family.
Could it be that he will show his weakness for the first time by talking about the recent difficulties?
‘Recently, the battle has been crowded. It was hard.’
Even if Adela makes her first weak appearance. Sophia was ready to understand.
However, Sophia’s expectations were shattered by Adela’s words.
“…Sophia? Please stay out for a while.”
“yes?! but! It’s a historic moment when the two of you open up your feelings ahead of the match!?”
Adela said no more.
I looked at Sophia. Let our eyes meet. Adela involuntarily moved her eyebrows down slightly.
“Ah… I see.”
Sophia’s voice filled with sadness. Adela is a mysterious girl whose feelings cannot be discerned even by Sophia, who likes to observe. For Sophia, who likes to observe, there has never been a better opportunity.
Swoop. trudge.
But as expected, Adela was scared, so Sophia walked away obediently.
‘Sorry. What do you want to talk about?’
* * *
“Haha! What a fun kid.”
Sophia leaves and Aden laughs.
Adela raised her teacup again and took a sip. Adela raised her teacup, her little finger still raised.
“…Is it the story of Castellana Cave that you visited today?”
“That’s the point. It seems you’ve heard the rumors too. Of course, externally, it seems to have been announced as an artifact excavation…”
Adela also saw an announcement from the Italian Association recruiting hunters to go to Castellana Cave.
Of course, the target is at least 6th grade.
It was an unusual move even if it expanded the scale not only to Italy but to the whole world.
“Listen carefully. This is a story that only a very few hunters know.”
widely!
Aden snapped his fingers and made a sound, and silvery mana blew coolly in all directions. It was a technique that blocked sound with high-density mana.
Of course, it wasn’t a characteristic, it was just a simple move of mana.
It was an extravagant technique to use for ordinary hunters’ conversations, but it was not difficult for Aden, who was called a legend.
“The reason hunters gather in Castellana Cave is because of the raid.”
raid.
The act of gathering dozens of hunters to attack a dungeon or catch a boss.
Like the King’s Aura that appeared in England, bosses of level 7 or higher are attacked by government units.
“…then. To Castellana Cave.”
“In addition, the one that appears this time is not an ordinary boss.”
Aden smiled at Adela, who seemed interested. After being defeated by Shin Yoo-seong, Adela was buried in the thought of wanting to become stronger.
In such a situation, the creation of a raid party was a topic that Adela would definitely be interested in.
The boss of this raid is ‘named’ even among the 7th grade.
“The King of Red Dragon. Sardonyx.”
All bosses with the name of the Demon King species start at the minimum combat power level 6. However, even if they are of the same species, there is a difference in class.
Ranked 72nd in the Demon Realm. 6th grade boss.
Demon King Andromalius.
and.
Rank 1 in the Demon Realm. 8th level boss.
Demon King Amon.
The difference in combat power between the two could not even be measured.
“…Sardonyx.”
Adela put down the teacup.
An ordinary dragon is only a level 6 boss, but Sardonyx is not an ordinary dragon. The leader of the Red Clan from another dimension.
It was a load of red dragons.
The most threatening opponent among the ‘masters of mana’, who are said to be compatible with hunters.
“Adela. Don’t you want to see the level 7 boss’s strategy yourself?”
Aden laughed and said…
It was a good opportunity just to watch if it was a 7th level boss attack, but Adela was lost in thought. To Adela, as much as she becomes stronger. There was an opponent who wanted to be strong.
best skill.
And it was an opponent who wanted to face everything in the best condition.
“Then… can I ask for one more seat?”
At Adela’s unexpected suggestion, Aden simply smiled.

Weekend at Gaon Academy.
Lee Si-woo looked around the room and talked to Shin Yoo-seong.
“The real Yooseong. Weekends are also the best. right?”
Delicious food made by Sumire.
Amy shows off where she learned to perform tricks and tricks and carries food. Spending time with the party members like this felt like the tiredness of the stay was relieved.
Happiness beyond measure for Shin Yoo-seong.
“Wow, I did a lot… you all ate neatly.”
Almost 10 servings of food were all sold out. Sumire made a proud expression when she saw Shin Yoo-sung emptying all the food.
“That Yooseong… what kind of food did you like the most?”
Sumire pricked up her ears like a rabbit and listened to the answer.
A question posed by the desire to receive compliments and the desire to serve Shin Yoo-seong’s chosen food one more time.
Shin Yoo-seong thought for a moment, then answered honestly.
“entire. Everything was really delicious.”
To Sumire, the answer was happiness itself.
“yes? All of me?”
Let’s hold back the tail of the mouth that slowly rises. Yooseong Shin put a wedge in there.
“Whatever Sumire cooks is always delicious.”
“And Ka Karaage too?”
“huh.”
“Well then! …Does it taste better than delivery chicken?”
Sumire asked with her eyes shining if that bothered her. Shin Yoosung nodded instead of opening his mouth.
Added to that, a pleasant laugh
Hwaaa-
When Sumire was truly enjoying happiness and joy, someone naturally opened the door to the insolvency room.
“What is this?”
The owner of the voice is Kim Eun-ah.
As time passed, Lorelai’s skill was released, so Kim Eun-ah was back to her original body.
“uh! Eun-ah!?”
“When did you come back? I thought you couldn’t come today.”
“omg! Eunah!”
Sumire. Amy. Siwoo Lee.
Each of them greeted Eun-ah Kim with their own reaction, but when she looked around, Eun-ah Kim’s expression was somewhat fat.
“What, can’t wait for that. except for me I ate them all.”
No one knew that Kim Eun-ah, who was young, would return. Sumire hurriedly sat her down on the chair before Eun-ah Kim got upset.
“I! Lots of ingredients! I even thought of a special menu for Eunah!”
“…a person I didn’t even know was coming. Leave it alone. I can just take something out of the fridge and eat it.”
Kim Eun-ah exclaimed and shyly avoided her head. Sumire rubbed Kim Eun-ah’s shoulders to ease her mood.
“Ah~ don’t do that! It’s a really delicious special menu, right?”
“…Well then. Did you bring it?”
Now, Sumire has mastered how to deal with Kim Eun-ah.
‘For Eun-ah. Special menu…’
Yoosung Shin looked at the two and smiled.
