Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game

087. Thorn Meadow (3)

[ ‘Joo Tae-hee’ =＞ Name changed to ‘Joo Tae-rin’. ]

─ Just quietly attack and leave. Then, I will just turn a blind eye to it like I do now.

Joo Tae-rin was unable to say a word due to Shin Se-hee’s provocation and had no choice but to enter the dungeon with her mouth shut.

That’s right… ….

“Captain, I don’t think this is right… …. “This happened because we were caught by Cheon-hwa at a trading site before.”

That’s right.

Previously, they traded illegal by-products at the gate.

A gate with no electronic devices running was the perfect environment for such secret transactions to take place.

You can make overwhelming profits with just one transaction rather than hunting monsters day and night, so it would be foolish not to do so.

However, the problem is that the scene was discovered by Shin Se-hee.

Even though the transaction was not an ordinary transaction, it was enough to be treated as a serious crime because it was powdered Laplace flower, which is the raw material for drugs.

Cheonhwa took this as a weakness and thoroughly pressured Zhou Taerin and his party members.

‘…… ‘At that time, I should have dealt with Cheonhwa.’

But, Shin in her background. And because her own abilities were at a level that could not be ignored,

Until now, they had been paying attention and only going through low-level dungeons.

“But, if we do something to them and get caught… …. That’s not going to explode…… !”

The dealer, who had been tormented by Shin Se-hee and felt her fear, spoke in a frightened voice.

Ju Taerin was not unaware of that anxiety.

‘As expected, Shin Se-hee should have been dealt with somehow at the scene…….’

But it is too late to regret it now.

“I knew for sure today.”

Zhou Tae-lin stiffened her expression and opened her mouth.

“…… “No matter how much we bow down, that b*tch has no intention of letting us go.”

“So, let’s all die together…” … ?”

“Is there anyone who really knows about your Shinga?”

In order to uncover Shin Se-hee’s own weaknesses, she personally conducted research for quite a long time.

“Don’t you think it’s strange?”

Ju Taerin’s reasoning was as follows.

Shin Se-hee, who was desperate to prove herself, suddenly took a step back and offered to take over the management of a party.

She even succeeded in recruiting Kang Do-hee.

Did Cheon-hwa reject a golden opportunity to enhance her own reputation?

This is obviously strange.

“The test was given by the shrine.”

“…… Test?”

“Yes, Shin Se-hee is in a competitive relationship with Shin Su-yeon, the first child of the Shin family. However, as everyone knows, Shin Se-hee can never defeat Shin Su-yeon by force.”

Then the party members nodded.

Even if Shin Se-hee was called a promising next-generation hunter, it did not mean that she would surpass Shin Su-yeon, the current S-class hunter.

Just because she is the daughter of a famous hunter family is enough to be recognized by those around her.

“That’s why I tried to appeal in a different direction, rather than through force.”

“…… Ah. Now, wait a minute, then who is the man in charge of the party this time?”

“It’s probably the son of a wealthy person. “A man with awakened but mediocre abilities.”

“Then what made that man the party leader was… ….”

“Yes, the Shinga made a deal in exchange for money on the condition that the man would become a hero. Shinga people pretend to be clean, but in reality, they are worse than us.”

A light of realization appeared in the eyes of the party members.

At least there was no one here who could object to the fact that Shinga was worse than their guild, Darkness.

Suddenly, the dealer shouted with a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Now, wait a minute, boss! Then you can’t touch it anymore! “I’m touching Shinga, not Shin Sehee!”

“When did we say we would touch each other?”

Saying that, she took out a bottle with green liquid flowing from her arms.

She tried to start illegal trading again while Chunhwa was at her academy.

She received it from the customer as a trial product.

‘Single fragrance’

It was a medicine that tempted monsters and made them lose their will to fight.

Of course, there was a downside to being able to come to one’s senses quickly even with the slightest stimulation, but there were no problems now.

The dealer opened her eyes wide.

“That’s what the customer gave me this time…” … !?”

“Yes, this is used to lure monsters into attacking them. And we can just go back and attack our route while they’re fighting. “After all, it’s common to run out of time during a strategy, isn’t it?”

Joo Taerin smiled bitterly.

“And the Shin family will directly hold Shin Se-hee responsible for the failure of this dungeon run.”

Chiek─

Ju Taerin opened the incense burner and lit the wick sprouting from the mouth of the bottle.

After─

Let’s turn off the lights.

Light green-colored smoke slowly began to spread in all directions.

“Special, wind magic. “Spread it out as widely as possible.”

“Uh, yes.”

According to her command, the wizard standing behind chanted wind magic.

Then a light breeze rose, and smoke began to spread in all directions.

And then some time passed.

Wud-duk─

Then suddenly─

A rumbling sound was heard from the ground, from the road next to the route.

It was the sound of black hedgehogs smelling a single scent and heading to the source of the scent.

Ju Taerin looked at the approaching horde of monsters with cold eyes.

A black hedgehog, perhaps the closest one, came right in front of us.

The guy seemed to have lost his aggression, his red eyes had lost their shine and were hazy.

“After all, they said it was a pilot product… …. The performance is solid. Then let’s go like this! “At a slightly faster pace.”

Taerin Joo led the party members and began tracing the route taken by Jin Yuha.

*

As they walked out, burning single incense, the black hedgehogs followed them one by one like zombies.

“Is this all Kang Do-hee’s work?” … ?”

Facing the first traces of her left behind by the Utopia Party, Zhu Tae-lin could not help but harden her face.

The corpses of Black Hedgehogs with their bodies ripped open were strewn here and there.

And there was dried dark red on the ground, as if blood had seeped out.

Among them, Taerin Joo, who was looking closely at the dried blood on the floor, let out a laugh.

“Ha, I see. It looks like it wasn’t just chaff. No, in this case, it is true that she is the chaff, but she wanted to show that she is contributing.”

“Captain, what does that mean?”

“I found out why Cheonhwa chose this place as the first clearing ground.”

“What?”

“That party leader has sensing as an attribute.”

“…… Detect!?”

Joo Tae-lin nodded her head.

“First of all, among the Black Hedgehogs, the ones above have all exploded and died one by one.”

“…… Uh, yeah.”

“These are all Kang Do-hee’s works.”

Joo Taerin frowned at the rough and wild traces.

“And this.”

She then pointed to the blood stains on the floor.

“If you look here, there is a hole where you inserted a sword.”

The party members narrowed their eyes and looked at the traces. Then, traces of something being deeply inserted were seen.

“That means Jin Yu-ha only captured the Black Hedgehog that was in ambush. “While being thoroughly protected from behind.”

“Ah… ….”

When faced with evidence supporting her claims, the anxious faces of the party members straightened.

Still, in Shin Se-hee’s interview, she said that party leader Jin Yu-ha was stronger than Kang Do-hee, so she couldn’t help but be concerned about that.

“In other words, it is Kang Do-hee who is responsible for the actual offensive power. “There’s nothing much to see except for the detection of Jin Yu-ha.”

“hehehe, then you can really give Cheonhwa a blow…? … !?”

She added to her words as if the dealer, who had been anxious just a moment ago, was looking forward to it.

“Yes, the Shin family is cold-hearted even if they are blood relatives. “I don’t know, but I don’t think Shin Se-hee will be punished lightly.”

Rumbling─

It’s already been a few hours since I’ve been running with the scent of being single.

Now there were nearly a hundred black hedgehogs following them.

I feel a lot of pressure on my back.

Ju Taerin’s eyes vibrated.

‘…… ‘We’ve already progressed this far?’

We’ve been running without a single battle, but Jin Yu-ha’s party still hasn’t even seen a snout.

Only the corpses of monsters with their magic stones and thorns removed indicate that they passed through this place.

‘If it stays like this… …. It’s not good…….’

Originally, I planned to throw these monsters at Jin Yu-ha’s party and have them head to the original route as quickly as possible.

Because I had to avoid suspicion.

If it goes beyond this point, it becomes difficult to establish an alibi.

But that doesn’t mean we can stop here now.

Cold sweat broke out on Joo Taerin’s back because he didn’t know when the scent for the unmarried people would run out.

“Um, captain, captain?”

“Huh?”

“It’s strange here. It’s definitely a route we’ve taken before, so why is it so unfamiliar…… ?”

Joo Tae-rin looked around her as the dealer spoke in confusion.

And when she realized that she was in a completely unfamiliar place, her face hardened.

“…… “Did they take the wrong route?”

She said that without even realizing it.

“No, the road is right?”

Suddenly, someone’s voice interrupted her self-talk.

“…… !?”

Let’s turn our heads.

A little far away.

A man was standing there smiling, as if he had been waiting.

“Welcome. “Is this your first time seeing the unknown?”
