48. Persistence

They say that even if you enter a tiger’s mouth, you will survive as long as you keep your wits about you.

Roxer stiffened slightly in front of Erin’s maternal grandmother, with whom she did not have a very good relationship.

Grandmothers, by nature(?), Must be very protective of their grandchildren.

The guy who was stalking Erin before she was possessed crawled here.

‘Could it be a trap?’

I wondered if I had fallen in the middle of enemy territory.

But the atmosphere of the store is cozy.

“Oh my, our puppy, the belly skin is stuck to the waist.”

“hehehehe, I’m hungry~”

I saw Erin being held like a puppy by Erin’s grandmother, who was tired of gray hair but corrected her.

‘Isn’t it a trap?’

I wondered if I could breathe a sigh of relief.

Only Erin said her forbidden word.

“Oh my, my puppy is hungry. Is the kid behind you your friend?”

There was an unknown madness in the eyes that looked at Rokseo with his aged gray eyes.

This is the kind of sincere madness of feeding a child enough to make sure his or her stomach is full.

Hearing this, Roxer was startled and immediately lowered his head.

“Hello! I’m Roxxer, Erin’s classmate!”

“Ho… Roxerra, Roxerra…”

Then, as Erin’s grandmother stroked Erin in her arms, something about her came to mind.

‘I’m sure those grandpas and scoundrels mentioned the name Roxxer a few times….’

As it is a restaurant frequented by the rich and high-ranking executives of large guilds.

After hearing various stories being exchanged, she gazed at Roxer’s yellow hair.

“So you have a good friend, Erin?”

But lately, it has been featured a lot in articles and news, so I was interested.

He patted Erin as if he had brought such a person to her wedding hall.

“…hehehehe….”

Erin pursed her lips because she had a very complex and mysterious relationship with Roxxer.

‘Can we call them friends?’

Erin thought that it was a little unfair, but it was possible to put aside all the events that had happened in the past for saving her life.

Because there is nothing more precious than her life.

However, what Roxer said earlier was a deception strategy was slightly caught.

‘If you look at the fact that he doesn’t show any interest in me… It may be because of his relationship with Rika or something like that. A real deception operation? But why did you try to hide your power so much??

She stumbled a little, but fell upon the threshold of her doubts and lost herself in her thoughts.

‘I see what’s going on with our Erin.’

She smiled brightly at her granddaughter’s cute reaction and brought Erin and Roxer into the restaurant.

Roxer was very nervous like that.

“Oh….”

I was amazed by the neat Korean food unfolding before her eyes.

Foods that are old, but seem to have been changed to suit modern times.

“What do you think? How good is my grandmother?”

“Why are you proud of what her grandmother made?”

Erin shrugged her shoulders, feeling like she had been starving for days just by looking at her and smelling her.

However, the amount was too much.

“You’re both so skinny. You can eat this much, right?”

Erin’s grandmother brought out more food as if she was going for a double.

There must be staff serving you, but they even serve the braised ribs by hand.

‘Do I have to eat everything!?’

When Erin’s grandmother told her to stop by, Roxer expressed her gratitude and began her meal.

.

.

.

“Wow… Did you eat all of that?”

“This goes in…”

Erin was shocked to see Roxer eating all the food that was laid out.

I wonder if that much food was absorbed as soon as it entered the body.

“Erin says her friend is a great eater, she says this is dessert.”

“Thank you.”

“…Eat and then go back!?”

Erin’s grandmother was amazed to see Roxas eating like that.

‘Are you sure that your body digests and absorbs food through the shock and reaction accumulated over time? He’s got a very interesting body.’

From noble mtl dot com

I was able to see the changes caused by Rokseo’s lack of lunar retardation and manipulation of space and time taking root in his body.

Of course, I didn’t know the reason, but I clearly saw the phenomenon.

Roxer tensed at the sharp look in Erin’s grandmother’s eyes.

‘What did I do wrong? Are you sure you ate so much that you’re counting on me?’

At that moment, when it seemed impossible, Erin’s grandmother smiled.

“Does Yellow River Jiji suit your taste?”

“…Ah, yes.”

She treated Rokseo like she was her maternal grandmother.

“If everything goes well with Erin, we’ll be able to eat it all the time.”

“Ha, grandma!?”

She walked away and patted the startled Erin.

Rokseo has a bit of a past, but if you leave that aside, she wouldn’t mind marrying the daughter of a wealthy family.

‘???’

Roxer almost spit out the crystal fruit he was drinking.

“Oh, no. Erin is too precious for me to get along well. hahahahaha.”

Roxer thought it was fortunate that Rika wasn’t here and waved her hand.

“Ugh? Do you hate our poopy puppy?”

“Grandma…! Don’t tease me too much!”

Her grandmother gasped and looked slightly shocked.

Somehow, we ended the meal and had a pleasant conversation.

“Thank you, I enjoyed it. It was so delicious that I don’t know how to repay you.”

Roxer nodded his head and expressed his sincere gratitude.

While looking at Rokseo, her maternal grandmother tapped Erin’s shoulder with her elbow.

“Dog, do your best with that girl ~ Next time, you can see her with her family.”

Recognizing her Roxer’s potential, she whispered to her granddaughter as if to tease her slightly.

“Ugh…! Grandma!!!”

In the end, Erin exploded and quickly took Roxor away.

“My dog~ Are you holding your friend’s hand too?”

“…!! It wasn’t my hand, I pulled the sleeve!!”

Roxas couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of her grandmother teasing Erin until the end.

“Hey, Erin.”

Erin was startled by her voice as if she had somehow figured out the number.

Once she was out of range of her grandmother’s restaurant, she let go of Roxxer’s sleeve.

“Why? Because I already miss the taste of my grandmother’s cooking?”

First, I tried to defend Roxer’s strange words by hitting the player.

“I couldn’t believe it… Did you take me here to tame me with food? To make me get noticed in advance???”

Erin’s behavior was distorted with an expression as if she had been struck by lightning.

At those words, Erin felt as if her five organs and six parts were being distorted by her actual period.

“Who, what does someone like about a guy like you!?”

“Scary person…”

“Everyone, shut up!! No!! I just went to Grandma’s restaurant because it was the best and delicious!!!”

Erin’s grandmother watched from the rooftop of her store as the two bickered.

“Young man, it feels like I’m seeing you and me when we were younger.”

Erin’s grandmother took out her old pendant, which she always carried in her arms, from her arms.

In that photo, the ‘Hero’s Mask’ has been transformed by her husband’s power.

It contained a photo held in the hand of a young man.

###

After free time, members of the travel club gathered for a group tour.

Am I going to go to the tower with a normal hero among the Double Helix towers?

At that time, it was split in half whether to go to the tower where the heroes called dark heroes appeared.

“Rokseo! There is a place here where you can experience Yurarion’s battle!”

Jane grabs Roxer and pulls him as if to go with him.

“Stories about heroes that are just flat aren’t fun!”

Not to be outdone, Rika pulled Roxxer to the other side.

“aaah!! Let go of both of you!!!”

Thanks to this, Roxer was almost killed as if Solomon had descended.

Jane was stronger, but Rika even used her shadow to pull him.

‘I shouldn’t interfere.’

Erin was in the same group as Roxas, but she sensed that if she intervened, she would be in big trouble, so she watched in silence.

However, she gave Roxeo a look as if asking for help.

“Hey!! 30 Consecutive losses!!”

“Mr. Woo!!! Don’t call me that name!!!”

Erin had no choice but to approach with her brisk steps.

“Why don’t Jane and Rika ask Roxxer’s opinion instead of doing that…?”

However, unlike her spirited steps, she becomes a little crumpled in front of the monsters called Rika and Jane.

Seeing her puppy-like pitiful expression, Rika’s heart softened slightly.

And Roxer made a dumbfounded expression.

“You think they’ll listen to my opinion!?”

She was immediately hit on the side by Rika.

It was still so spicy that we both died after eating one dish.

“You can both go…! Did you forget that I have the ability to move through space!”

Rokseo uses her arrogance and slams Rika’s side! Got it.

This is due to her actions when Roxxer grabbed Rika’s waist, and she realized that Rika was weak to her tickling based on her twitching.

“!? Now, wait a minute…! Ugh!!”

Rika’s eyes instantly rolled over and she trembled at Roxer’s wriggling touch.

The reaction was so violent that Rokseo quickly let go of his hand.

“Ha… But why are you so proactive? Are you the one who finds everything annoying?”

Rika quickly changed her words as if nothing had happened.

I suppressed the laughter that almost made her laugh because of the tickling.

“That’s because you have the experience of a hero’s battle, right? You should try them all.”

Roxer smiled wryly at Rika and showed great motivation.

“As expected, it’s Roxeo! I want to try everything too!!!”

Then Jane, who was muscle to her brain, made the same expression as Roxxer and ignited her enthusiasm.

A speculation that puts the Academy’s combat power at 1st or 2nd place.

‘Ah, they were both like this.’

Rika judged from her sullen expression that she admired Rokseo, so she clicked her tongue at Jane who was imitating Rokseo.

Regardless, Roxer was excited.

‘Learn the fighting styles of heroes! ‘This is a chance to get more clues about how to exploit the weaknesses of the virtual realm!’

There are various types of virtual areas lined up to embody the battles fought by the heroes.

At the thought of becoming stronger, a faint smile reached my ears.
