083. The Weight of the Shield (1)

After the party launching ceremony is over.

Lee Yoo-ri ran straight to the dormitory and buried her face in the bed.

Although she tried not to show off in front of her.

“…… Ah.”

Now that I am alone.

She clenched her teeth at the rush of her shame.

“It’s embarrassing.”

Pain—! Pan-!

Her bed moved as she kicked while lying on her stomach.

“…… If that’s what she meant by packing presents, she asked me to be specific from the beginning…….”

Two days ago,

A sudden call from Shin Se-hee.

I heard that it would be better to prepare a gift for Jin Yu-ha in advance.

Yuri Lee thought today was his birthday.

So, I wanted to wish him a happy birthday before the other party members, so I called him early in the morning.

“By the way, it wasn’t a birthday, it was just a gift exchange… ….”

Yuri Lee turned over on the bed.

“No, what… …. Actually, it wasn’t really important if it was a birthday or not.”

Because it was just to return her gratitude.

She was confident that she would never lag behind the other party members when it came to her gratitude to Jin Yu-ha.

But.

After the time to give equipment to each person is over.

The party members handed over the gifts they had prepared to Jin Yu-ha.

Shin Se-hee received a certificate of ownership of a building with Jin Yu-ha’s name on it.

Kang Do-hee has a top-of-the-line sword grooming kit.

Im Ga-eul, like herself, prepared a cake for his birthday, thinking it was his birthday.

Of course, even if Shin Se-hee boasted an exceptional scale among the dogs.

The gifts of others were also of considerable value.

The sword grooming kit that Kang Do-hee presented was a top-notch premium blah blah kit used by Geomje, the second-ranked Korean hunter.

The cake Lim Ga-eul brought was overbooked, so it was said that if you order it now, you will receive it five months later.

It was possible because her family owned the bakery.

‘…… Her sister thought she was like me, but she was a complete betrayal.’

Anyway, she gave Jin Yu-ha a plausible gift one by one.

However, she was only empty-handed.

Of course, Jin Yu-ha told her with a proud expression that she had received a gift in advance, but…….

“Why would you give such a gift… ….”

Lee Yu-ri bit her tight lips.

After thinking for a long time about what kind of gift would be good, wake up at dawn and hand-write on A4 paper.

I hurriedly stopped by the bookstore in the morning to get a coated wish ticket.

It was even a piece of paper that was crumpled in her hand after arguing with Jin Yu-ha.

Reach her hand toward the ceiling.

A geometric tattoo on the back of your hand catches your eye.

“If you spread like this every day… …. What about me…….”

Now, more than her family’s debts, the debts she had to repay to Jin Yuhe increased.

“He took care of me and my brother in Carmella’s Forest, and even saved my life……. Subspace tattoos and disaster kits are, well, even if you say they’re given as a party leader, the shields aren’t bad. This child…….”

To be honest, when Jin Yuha handed her shield to him earlier

She was exhausted from forcing her heart to reject her on the spot.

Didn’t you like the gift?

That can’t be.

It was just because of pride.

Compared to the others, she felt that she had done nothing for him.

I don’t think he knew the meaning of giving him a shield.

Since he’s in charge of the safety of the party members from now on, he must have brought good equipment.

Moreover, the shield he gave me.

It was her dream shield that brought what she always thought about into her reality.

Why did he use ‘evasion’ as his main weapon when he is a tanker who has to take the lead in blocking enemy attacks?

That is the repair cost.

In the end, it was because of money again.

When he first became a hunter and started to go around dungeons, Yu-ri, like other tankers, used a shield to block enemy attacks.

However, the money spent on repairing the messed up shield became a waste when the belt had to be tightened.

As a result, I was able to hone the skill of ‘evasion’.

A shield that recovers its durability by using the surrounding mana in such a situation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the ability to see enemies’ attacks from behind is the shield she has always dreamed of.

Haa—

Unbeknownst to me, a sigh filled with complex emotions leaked from my mouth.

“…… I’m going crazy. So how much does this crazy shield cost?”

Yuri Lee scratched her head and took out her cell phone and tapped on the search bar.

“Certainly, the name of the shield was like a cross shield…… ?”

Search for [Cross Shield] In the hunter-only shopping window.

The first shield picture.

It was shaped like a cross like the one I received as a gift.

And Lee Yu-ri widened her eyes at the feast of ‘0’ that appeared next to her.

“Crazy?”

The price is so high that one instantly curses at it.

She was so surprised that Lee Yu-ri jumped up from the spot she was lying on.

“Oh, what the hell did he give me!!!”

She wondered if the price given to Kang Do-hee and Lim Ga-eul was similar to hers, so she looked for it.

From noble mtl dot com

“Kang Do-hee’s shoes are 500… …. Autumn’s sister’s gloves are 30 million won…….”

Of course, the price of shoes goes five hundred. It was astonishing that the secondary weapon cost 3,000, but… ….

“The units are different! Why am I the only one in billions…… !”

It added one more weight to her burdened heart.

That too is a weight with a harsh name called ‘billion’.

“By the way, I… ….”

「☆Once a month Yu-Ri Free Pass☆」

Lee Yu-ri’s face flushed red as she recalled that shoddy shred of paper.

“Seriously, why did you draw the stars when you were drawing like that? You stupid noodle soup b*tch……. Just make the soup head…….”

aaa!!!

Yuri covered her face with her hands and screamed at her.

A deafening sound filled her room.

Ha…….

“It’s really a pity not to have money.”

Lee Yu-ri spat out in despair, then tut, and kicked her tongue.

“I can’t do it… ….”

At this rate, it was clear that she would not be able to sleep properly and stay up all night with her eyes open.

I still have to go into the dungeon tomorrow.

I received a shield more expensive than my body.

Until condition control fails…… ?

“Damn it.”

That was something that should never have happened.

*

[ Cadet, Yuri Lee is permitted to enter. ]

Lee Yu-ri left her room and visited the private training ground used by Velvet Academy cadets.

It was a place I visited because I thought that if I sweated all the way, I would be able to clear her head and sleep.

‘Come to think of it, the monsters I dealt with tomorrow said they use projectiles.’

The dungeon that Jin Yu-ha announced in advance was a B-class gate called Thorn Meadow.

A hedgehog-like monster that shoots thorns containing paralyzing poison from its back.

Black Hedgehog.

This is where B-class monsters appear.

“…… Until I came here, I used to catch goblins, but I really grew up a lot. Yuri Lee.”

However, she was well aware that that was not the reason for her dramatic growth in her abilities.

It must be a selection tailored to the level of the party’s dealers, Kang Do-hee and Jin Yu-ha.

I’m thinking about the monsters I’m going to face tomorrow.

An emotionless voice came out from above.

[ Do you want to record the status window? ]

“Yes.”

Lee Yu-ri nodded and called up her status window.

Name ─ Yuri Lee

Gender ─ Female (20)

Ability

Muscle ─ 30 Spirit ─ 64

Magic ─ 35 Durability ─ 55

Speed ─ 67 Charm ─ 50

Specialization ─ Shield Skill A+

Title ─ Clay Spoon (土匙)

Attribute ─ [ Will ]

Exclusive Weapon ─ Cross Shield

She honestly doesn’t think it’s a bad status window.

As a tanker, I wondered what it would be like to have more speed than durability, but

That wasn’t a low level either, because he was a tanker based on evasion in the first place.

“…… Whoa”

Finishing recording her status window, Lee Yu-ri let out a low breath.

[ Let’s start long-distance tanker training. Please select a level. ]

Unlike the dealer, the purpose of tanker training against long distances was not to defeat the enemy.

Just blocking.

It was a way to block as much as possible from the front so that the attack did not go to the rear.

“Well, first… …. LEVEL 5 by warming up.”

Yuri Lee pulled out a cross shield from the subspace.

Put it on your arm and press the click switch.

A translucent curtain unfolds.

[ LEVEL 5. Goblin Archers. 10 Animals]

Soon, ten goblins with crude bows and arrows appeared before my eyes in vivid form.

Goblins I haven’t seen in a while.

Suddenly, Yu-ri recalled the day she first met Jin Yu-ha and raised the corners of her mouth.

“…… I’m just glad these children.”

Ding—!

With the sound of a bell ringing.

Her goblins started shooting her arrows at her.

Love liquid—!

An arrow that flies in front of you.

“…… It would be more fun to train with Jin Yu-ha.”

Goblins and arrows, if there is Jin Yuha

Wouldn’t it be fun to summon more goblins and fight them?

‘Ah, a b*tch like me who gave me a free pass or something as a gift.’

It was the time when he was holding up his shield and trying to block the enemy’s arrows.

“Yes, I think so too.”

Once again, an inaudible voice came from the side.

Just like back then.

Lee Yu-ri turned her head away with her dazed expression.

“Did you call me?”

Suddenly—

He slashed the arrows flying in front of her with his sword.

“You said the same thing last time, why do you look away when I see soup and rice? Dangerously. The arrow is coming ”

Jin Yu-ha appeared next to him with the same expression as back then.
