25 – Uncomfortable

I heard the sound of rain when I got up from my bed.

She frowned for a moment at the tremendous noise, as if it was raining like a jungle.

Suddenly, I wondered if the sound of the rain would have blocked Seol-i and myself.

‘I hope so.’

If everyone heard outside, it would be quite difficult to explain.

… Did you remember too late?

Whatever. Looking at the atmosphere of the town, it didn’t seem like the sun had gone down yet.

Then, should I go hunting right now?

– Sharak.

There was a rustling sound from behind.

“Oh, are you awake?”

“Eh. Uh…”

“hahahaha.”

Ashamed of what, she inadvertently laughed at the cute figure who slightly lifted the blanket to cover her reddened face.

“That, yes…”

Once Seol-i realized that she was naked, she picked up her clothes and handed them over.

There is still heat in the room, but it will soon cool down.

“Ehehehe…Thank you brother.”

Seol-ee smiled when he accepted the clothes I gave him.

When he saw me dressed in clothes, he lowered his eyebrows sullenly.

“…You want to leave?”

“Yes, because I have work.”

“Yeah…that’s right.”

Seol-i made a sound of pain as if he didn’t like it.

In the end, they didn’t catch me.

You probably already know about the food situation in the village.

“Everyone is really useless.”

“Weren’t you close with Seonhwa Lee?”

“…Except for my sister.”

“Huh.”

Cute.

“I hate the rest.”

“Okay, don’t be too showy.”

Let’s mess up our hair a little to say something harsh.

Kyaaak— Seol-i made a cute noise and got up after a while.

“Is it okay if I don’t rest anymore?”

“My back hurts a bit…But I still want to see you off.”

“Then shall we wait a moment?”

“I’ll wear it soon!”

Somehow, while watching Seol-i getting dressed excitedly, Seol-ji turned his head slightly to feel the heat seething from his lower stomach.

… It has good replayability.

“I’m done!”

“Then let’s go.”

After completing such mental training, he opened the door─.

– Knocked up.

“Huh?”

– Knocked up.

“Seolah. I think the door is broken?”

“Uh, well… it’s because I put a spell on it!”

“Really?”

“Yes! Wait!”

Seol-i, feeling desperate, puts her hand on the door.

– Kiki.

The door really opened by itself.

“It’s amazing.”

“Ah, ahahahaha…”

Seeing Seol-i smiling as if she was shy, I felt a little alert.

Seol-i has been working hard too.

I need to work on this a bit more.

“Okay. I’ll be back.”

“Okay, see you later.”

Let’s open the door with a heart that makes us happy at the friendly greeting.

“Uh.”

… For some reason, Han Seo-yeon was waiting with her arms crossed.

Golden eyes come out in an instant and scan Seol-i behind.

“Look, did I say this?”

“…Yes, that’s right.”

“Huh.”

I have nothing to say.

She’s scratching her head embarrassingly.

Fortunately, Han Seo-yeon turned on her conversation right away.

“So, have you cleared up all the misunderstandings?”

“Somehow.”

“That… I’m sorry about yesterday. Mr. Seoyeon…”

Seol-i followed me and apologized.

If it was yesterday, it must have been a visit to the dungeon.

“It doesn’t matter. It wasn’t very threatening.”

“…I’m really sorry.”

“? Are you okay?”

“Don’t worry, that’s really good.”

“That’s…Isn’t it?”

He’s trying to defend the regressor’s low communication skills.

Han Seo-yeon untied her arms and warned Seo-yeon with me.

“From now on, don’t do ‘things like that’ anywhere other than the waiting room.”

“Um…”

“Because it makes you very vulnerable to assassination or raiding. Got it?”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

Han Seo-yeon looked at us expressionlessly as we obediently agreed.

She sighed and continued.

“…Since this side blocked the sound from the beginning. Don’t worry.”

“─! Kolok, that, go, thank you.”

Perhaps Seol-yi was taken aback by the shocking favor, he awkwardly used an honorific title after hearing about it.

Han Seo-yeon turned her eyes this way casually.

“And the Chief found you.”

“Chief?”

“Uh. Hurry up. I’ll be in town.”

“Yes.”

When I was handed a primitive umbrella made by attaching large leaves to a tree, I was a little puzzled.

Why is Haktan looking for me?

‘Is it because I was caught not hunting?’

But the chief isn’t an orc to say anything about that.

Surprised, I crossed the village and headed to the chief.

A few warriors were already gathering and talking.

… Why are Hagtoon and Shuhog there?

I see it whenever something happens.

Are you surprisingly competent?

‘That can’t be.’

If this is real, this village should have been ruined a long time ago.

Perhaps a forum for discussion was held during training.

I calmed down my frightened mind and approached them.

As expected, Haktan was the first to notice me.

“Brother!”

“It’s been a while. Brother.”

“Kuhuh, that’s right.”

Haktan smiled cheerfully and asked quietly.

“And I found it earlier. Where was it?”

“I talked to the mage on our side for a while.”

“Conversation.”

Hearing my words, Haktan’s eyebrows rose slightly.

The Dumb and Dumber duo standing behind gave me thumbs up, wondering what they were thinking.

… Unfortunately, this time, both predictions were correct.

“I see, yes. Well, that’s the time.”

Perhaps it’s hereditary, Haktan also started to smile happily, so I hurriedly turned away.

“…So, why did you call?”

“Hmm. That’s—”

The story was about rain that started falling in the morning.

The river is rapidly increasing even though the rain is not very heavy.

“The water level rises strangely fast?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm…that sounds dangerous.”

The tree fell and the monsters came.

What will happen when the river overflows?

“Do you think there is a risk of flooding?”

“…That’s what the warriors who came to check said.”

At the same time, some orcs started talking.

Perhaps the Orcs came after checking the situation.

“This is not a risk, but a confirmation.”

“The wizard said it would rain for a while.”

“In three days or so, the jungle will start to flood.”

I sighed at each incoming report.

In the end, if we leave it as it is, the flood is certain.

“But rain comes from the sky. There is nothing I can do to help.”

“Of course, I didn’t call for the rain to stop.”

“Then?”

“I’ve been watching you for a few days, and your tribe seems weaker but a little more cunning.”

… That’s right.

Compared to the Orcs, who has less cunning?

“I’m not trying to make fun of that way, rest assured, brother.”

“I never even had a doubt.”

“Kheu, that’s good. Anyway, I hope the brother’s tribe will visit the river once again.”

Hearing Haktan say that something might come to mind—I understood the situation.

‘This is the first floor test prepared by the Tower.’

This unusual increase in water level must be caused by something.

It must be that we, the climbers, have to find out and solve it.

Being smart is probably an excuse.

“Of course, I will assign warriors who know the geography as guides.”

“Chief! We’re going!”

“We know the road, too!”

… Although it can be inferred from the word ‘we’.

It was Hagtun and Shuhog who stepped out.

Haktan turns his head to me while pondering.

I could tell he was asking if it would be okay if he didn’t tell me.

What… In terms of power, it’s not as good as the elite warriors around Haktan.

I don’t know if there will be a fight, and even if we do fight, Han Seo-yeon, the cheat key itself, has entered the village now.

Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to be familiar with it rather than taking other orcs for no reason?

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Good!”

“As expected, it’s Hyeonu!”

“…Please.”

A familiar party was formed.

On the way back, Han Seo-yeon was waiting in advance.

… It was an event that happened in the first place.

“Let’s go.”

“Right?”

“Yes.”

I asked once, just in case, because the progress was so refreshing.

“It’s not a tribe… it seems like all the climbers have to come together to solve it.”

“That’s right. It’s there anyway, but it’s mana.”

“Well…that’s true.”

The answer was cold.

It’s true.

But neither Seol-i nor Han Seo-yeon seem to have high expectations from others.

Isn’t supernatural ability itself useful if it is raised to the end?

‘Come to think of it, I don’t even know other people’s abilities.’

Once the conflict is resolved, we need to know.

Because I think so.

“Can I really not take more?”

“Something might happen!”

The two orcs who didn’t know about Han Seo-yeon expressed their concern.

It was common sense, but.

Unfortunately, the number of people here is too unreasonable.

“It’s okay. They’ll only come after scouting, so if there are too many, it’s rather troublesome.”

“Hmm, there is no battle. Too bad.”

“I wanted to show you what I learned today!”

“Yes!”

… I went to learn this morning, but what the hell did I learn in the meantime?

However, knowing that it would bother her from the moment she asked such a question, she only shrugged her shoulders once.

“Let’s go to the river first.”

“Okay!”

“This way.”

That’s how we arrived at the riverside.

Unable to find anything special, we continued to climb up the river.

I found a place where a large river splits into two rivers.

From noble mtl dot com

The problem was there.

… A certain turtle was blocking the river on one side.

That’s a turtle big enough to cross a river.

It is only natural that the water level rises steeply as the massive body unifies the flow of the river that should have been divided into two.

“Huh.”

“It looks like it’s nesting and causing a flood.”

“Nest.”

Han Seo-yeon’s way of speaking was as if she was reading her lines, but she didn’t have the energy to make fun of it now.

‘If it’s a nest… Couldn’t we just drive it away with something like noise?’

“First of all, he doesn’t look very ferocious.”

“Yes. It should be easier to catch than I thought.”

“…?”

Catch that?

A monster blocking a river?

“Why are you looking like that?”

“Isn’t that kicking you out?”

“I can catch it, but why?”

Han Seo-yeon said calmly, but I wanted to run away right away.

What’s more, that monster’s entire body looks like a rock, making it difficult to damage.

How can you hurt him with magic?

I have expressed my concerns.

“It’s okay.”

Han Seo-yeon only said that.

“Because you are here.”

… I’m a little anxious.
