Episode 386
The monster who lives in the mountains is always sensitive because he walks in a forest full of dangers. It was to the point of reacting with a perked ear to the chirping of birds as well as human body odor and presence.
“It’s good to use natural objects in a place like this! You hide yourself with something like a branch or leaf.”
Shin Yoo-seong gave twigs and leaves as Kim Eun-ah’s strategy, and carefully decorated the shelter as if a mother bird made a nest.
“Aya! Sitting here on the fluffy leaves. Make sure I have bugs all over!”
Young Shin Yoo-seong seemed very happy to have a friend of the same age.
“Babu. What kind of play are you playing? What are the fluffy leaves…”
Shin Yoo-sung’s attitude made Kim Eun-ah feel good even though she was shy. How good would it be if Shin Yoo-seong in reality showed interest in himself?
“Where did Eun-ah learn these things?”
Kim Eun-ah really liked how Shin Yoo-seong fully focused on herself after leaving her mission and paid attention to even the smallest actions.
“Ugh, how much you usually pay for me now, how much Joeulka ….”
Kim Eun -a shook her forehead with a short finger and shook her head like an adult.
“Eh, the usual me?”
“…Do you know how indifferent an adult can be to you? I’ve never heard of people being taken care of like they’re on the roadside and how pretty they are…”
Anyway, the current situation is all just fragments of memories, so when Kim Eun-ah expressed the sadness she had endured so far, Shin Yoo-seong approached.
And suddenly, Kim Eun-ah’s bangs were lifted with the palm of her hand, and her eyes met with clear eyes.
Kim Eun-ah was stunned at the situation she had been experiencing for the first time in her life, but Shin Yoo-seong muttered casually with an innocent face.
“It’s strange… Eun-ah is this pretty.”
Eunah Kim thought.
Actually, this guy’s memory came back, but maybe he’s acting? Otherwise, how could he use the innocence of a child as a weapon to attack so mercilessly?
“You’re saying Mo Mo!”
Judging by the blushing Kim Eun-ah’s ears, Shin Yoo-seong’s attack was a fatal blow. At this point, Kim Eun-ah also needed to think. In fact, isn’t Shin Yoo-seong’s sincere heart right now?
Wouldn’t it be nice if Shin Yoo-seong had gotten used to the life of Mt. Musin and had become distant from society or women?
“…Where is that pretty?”
“huh? Eunah has pretty eyes, pretty mouth, pretty nose, and pretty ears!”
As if Shin Yoo-seong had waited, he earnestly praised Kim Eun-ah. The destructive power of honest compliments with an innocent face was no joke.
“…okay?”
If Eunah Kim had a tail like velvet, wouldn’t it be wagging it gently by now?
“Are there any more?”
“My hair is flowing and it smells nice…
” “Babu. It should be scent, not smell! and?”
“Hmm, it’s cute.”
“…how much?”
“very!”
By now, if Kim Eun-ah had a tail, she might shake it so vigorously that it would create wind like a fan.
“I won’t stand a single friend who is prettier than Eun-ah!”
“Really?”
Nod!
When young Shin Yoo-seong nodded without hesitation, Kim Eun-ah held out her pinky finger as if this was an opportunity.
“…You shouldn’t say anything else when you grow up later? Am I the best for you?”
“huh! Eun-ah is the best!”
Shin Yoo-seong nods no matter what he says, and Kim Eun-ah, who even accepts expressions of affection she has never received before.
Tuk-tuk-
It’s like a children’s house play, but it has a lot of meaning. Kim Eun-ah felt like she had a glimpse of what Shin Yoo-seong would have thought of herself if she hadn’t been cut off from society at Musin Mountain.
“Take care of your eyes looking at you…. Yuseong, you sit here!”
Kim Eun-ah, who smiled with satisfaction, yielded the soft leaf seat to Shin Yoo-seong.
“Hey, Eun-ah, is this a good seat?”
“Fine. These are the raspberries I just picked, but I’m resting quietly while eating these.”
Young Shin Yoo-seong unintentionally trained Kim Eun-ah with a baptism of compliments instead of carrots. All that was left was to lie on the leaves and take a good rest while eating raspberries.
“It’s soft… Eunah. Raspberries are also sweet and delicious… haam.”
1 min. 3 minutes. 5 minutes.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but Shin Yuseong fell asleep and had no memory after that.
The moment when I just remember the taste of sweet raspberries and my mouth was watering.
“Hey Yoosung, wake up. I’m here!”
Shin Yoo-seong rubbed his eyes at the urgent voice of Eun-ah Kim and got up.
“Ughhh? sorry. Eunah. I’m asleep…”
“That’s a bar because it’s great!”
Dark blue fur like the rippling waves of the sea, and demonic red eyes. Seeing Blue Bear, Kim Eun-ah carefully whispered to Shin Yoo-seong.
“Yooseong, do you know why the blue bear’s fur is blue?”
“Yes? I don’t know…”
“…Originally, blue is a color that animals living in the mountains don’t usually have. The color blue is more conspicuous, so prey run away from it.”
Nevertheless, the fact that the blue bear’s dark blue fur was maintained suggested several meanings.
“…The fact that the blue fur was maintained means that even if the prey found the blue bear first, it would not be able to escape.”
Kim Eun-ah explained so earnestly even while her pronunciation was leaking. Shin Yoo-seong, who had not been able to grasp the situation because he was not awake, regained consciousness at the fishy smell of blood.
“That’s…”
Blue Bear was dragging a huge deer that was well over 3 meters in his mouth and dragging it along the floor. It was about twice the size of an ordinary deer, proof that it was a monster.
“It’s a pitched deer. Because it resembles the characteristics of a rhinoceros beetle, it is also called a Hercules deer.”
As Kim Eun-ah said, the deer’s head had a hard upper like a helmet.
“The helmeted deer is a carnivorous deer that kills its prey by headbutting with its hard head and huge weight! Of course, I was classified as a dangerous monster…”
Kim Eun-ah searched for her memory to recall what she had learned at Gaon. The helmeted deer is just one of the many monsters Kim Eun-ah studied, but there was a memorable fact.
“…The risk classification is level 3. It’s like a blue bear.”
“Aya. That ride is…”
“That blue bear is a stronger variant than the same species. Looking at the same 3rd grade as food, it is stronger than 3rd grade…”
Now, Kim Eun-ah is not an ordinary 5-year-old. Because he has memories of being 17 years old, he has excellent knowledge that other children do not have.
“Yooseong is just as good as you. Of course, it’s my fault for not recognizing the other person…”
“Eh Eun-ah. Even at the moment when Kim
Eun-ah looked at the blue bear and analyzed it seriously, Shin Yoo-seong kept her eyes wide open, only looking at the pretty little lady in a dress sitting next to her.
“… Hey, why are you staring at me so casually?”
Kim Eun-ah, who thought it strange, questioned her with her eyes narrowed, but Shin Yoo-seong, who was already young, was completely immersed in Kim Eun-ah’s charm.
“Eun-ah isn’t just pretty. Smart and trustworthy. I… I really like Eun-ah.”
Maybe it’s because you’ve never met someone who’s been nice to you? How much does this little Yooseong like people?
If the real Shin Yoo-sung was the problem, the young Shin Yoo-seong was the type to fall in love too quickly.
“Ah, okay… Focus on Blue Bear now.”
“huh!”
“You have a skill that can attack Blue Bear? A skill that uses mana is better.”
In my mind, it would be nice to be able to use even the Pokryongam Cracking Ground like Shin Yooseong in reality, but I couldn’t expect such a skill from a 5-year-old who had just entered Musin Mountain.
“I am the regime! Or… a torso head-butt?”
“hey! Babu! What is a torso hit! would that work? When I wasn’t there, what did you trust and attack Blue Bear?”
“…No, Eunah. My torso headbutt is really strong. Master taught me!”
As she said with a serious face that she would use the body headbutt against the huge blue bear, Kim Eun-ah naturally let out a sigh.
‘And then you keep your mouth shut to believe me…’
No matter how cute it is, if you allow this, Shin Yoo-seong will follow the helmet deer with a single blow from Blue Bear’s huge front paw.
“Babu. Blue Bear is a powerful monster. They ate all the predators in the area. There is no reason to fight head-on!”
When Kim Eun-ah, who is relatively smart, started training like an older sister, Shin Yoo-seong nodded her head obediently like a younger brother who listened.
“huh! I understand!”
“At times like this, you have to use the opponent’s power. Let Blue Bear’s strong power actually harm you!”
“aha!”
“Of course, in order to do that, you have to get ahead of Blue Bear. If you’re slower than Blue Bear, you’ll catch up.”
Kim Eun-ah pondered for a long time to come up with a good idea to beat Blue Bear. Shin Yoo-seong alone cannot defeat Blue Bear.
Defeating Blue Bear now is the future, and the only variable is Kim Eun-ah herself.
“Yoosung.”
The answer was close by.
Why did Shin Ha-yoon even make an altar, scattering his colleagues and making Shin Yoo-seong come alone?
What was Shin Ha-yoon afraid of despite possessing such strong Morgan’s power? What is the power that Shin Yuseong and himself have?
“Why, like an idiot, didn’t you remember this operation before?”
Young Kim Eun-ah’s electricity does no harm to Blue Bear. The power of young Shin Yoo-seong is no match for a level 3 monster.
If the two fight separately, they will just follow the helmet deer.
‘but.’
What if Kim Eun-ah’s biography and Shin Yoo-seong’s power were combined?
“I get it.”
Making a decision, Kim Eun-ah smiled and muttered. Then, with a very serious face, he stretched out his hand and said:
“…Yooseong-ah! Pick me up!”
* * *
Blue Bear was dragging the helmeted deer to the cave that was its hideout.
He had a darker color and stronger physical abilities. Variants that transcend so-called species limits.
It was a predator that devastated the surrounding area wherever it went. It was unimaginable that other animals or monsters would attack him.
“Grrrr…”
But the human kid who saw the blue bear yesterday stood proudly in front of him again.
He even had another human girl on his back this time.
“Grrrrr…”
Blue Bear couldn’t hold back the saliva flowing from his mouth. Human meat with mana was the ultimate product that any monster coveted.
However, such a person becomes a Hunter.
Some humans are reborn as powerful beings that Blue Bear, a third-class monster, can never defeat.
But because of that, the blue bear’s instinct was screaming even more.
This is your last chance to eat humans with mana.
Tadak! Tadadak!
Blue Bear salivated from his mouth and started charging at Shin Yoo-seong at great speed. But this time, there was a variable that was different from yesterday.
“Are you ready? Yoosung?”
On Shin Yoo-seong’s back is Kim Eun-ah, who has electric characteristics. After all, the movement of a creature is just a signal sent by the brain.
In other words, if you can interpret the signal, you can run faster and inject mana to strengthen it.
“Let’s go, Yoosung! run!”
Pajijik-!
Kim Eun-ah injected electricity into Shin Yoo-seong’s body. In order to make up for the lack of strength so that she can run faster with her still short legs, all of Kim Eun-ah’s mana was injected into her body.
Shin Yoo-seong, who was injected with electricity, started running like a bullet even with Kim Eun-ah on his back.
Tadadadak-!
Even Blue Bear, famous for its speed in Mt. Musin, could not catch up with Yuseong Shin.
“purr-!”
Blue Bear was greedy not to miss Yoosung Shin. Including the girl on the back, there were two humans who would become hunters. If he ate meat with that much mana, he could be upgraded to a 4th grade monster.
For Blue Bear, this is an opportunity that will never come again!
Dig-!
The blue bear rushed through the bushes that obscured the view. The moment I passed the tree at high speed. In front of Blue Bear’s eyes, he saw an open sky that he had never seen before.
“Greung-?”
But now it was too late to notice the strangeness. Shin Yoo-seong was behind Blue Bear, and Kim Eun-ah, who injected electricity into his back.
“Yoosung!”
“huh!”
Musinsan’s predator.
Blue Bear was caught by a 5-year-old child. But it’s too early to ignore it. The child’s hand couldn’t penetrate hard hide, but it was able to push away the bear that had lost its balance. Even this place was a cliff several hundred meters high.
“——!”
Feeling threatened, Blue Bear roared with his ears ripped apart. The frightened prey was determined to step back, but Kim Eun-ah and Shin Yoo-seong were clearly glaring at the blue bear.
“Body slap-!”
“huh-!”
Shin Yoo-seong threw himself at the blue bear with incredible strength that even a child could not believe.
thud!
The heavy impact shakes the blue bear’s huge body. This was a blow that couldn’t kill a blue bear. If given a few seconds, I could have torn the kid right in front of me.
But killing Blue Bear wasn’t the shock of a torso.
“That gwong-!”
The leaning predator fell. It would have been nice if it could fly, but the blue bear was not a bird.
Quaang-!
A heavy vibration was felt, enough to shake Mt. Musin.
