Episode 9
4.
I pretended not to know, but the party knew.
“who is this?”
Kim Hye-ji asked her older brother, Kim Sang-wook.
“… … stranger.”
Kim Sang-wook replied calmly.
It wasn’t like anyone wanted to know.
“therefore. Do you have someone pretending to know someone in the field that your brother knows? Is that also without my knowledge? who is this?”
“I don’t know.”
It didn’t sound like a lie.
It seems that he doesn’t think of giving a rough answer with his brow furrowed, nor does he want to think about it.
You can tell because he’s the older brother he’s seen all his life.
But I kept asking.
“Why does someone I don’t know pretend to know me and not me? Looking at it, it looks like a heel arm. Are you trying to recruit a healer?”
“… … ah.”
Only then did Kim Sang-wook think of something.
“what. What?”
“The man who saved you.”
“ah?”
Yoo Joo-yeon’s face does not remain in Kim Sang-wook’s mind.
It was also a dark night, and at that time, I could only see my sister who was dying.
But after treatment, I remember the crude wooden pickets.
It was probably similar to the one I’m hanging around my neck now.
When I woke up, my brows furrowed.
“The money-grubbing guy.”
Yoo Joo-yeon never asked for money.
From the beginning, Kim Sang-wook threw a wad of money, threw it once more, and threw it up to three times, after all.
There was only a memory distortion in his head that there was a subtle pressure from Hilpa.
“Participant in the legendary hukou incident where 1,500 pieces were ripped off?”
“It’s not ripped off.”
“I guess so. I wrote down the cigars, but it was my brother who threw 500 at a time. Be great.”
“… … .”
I turned my gaze to my sister’s sarcasm.
It wasn’t worth the money.
I just didn’t like the excuse given.
“By the way, I don’t think I have the skills to walk around like a heel arm.”
Kim Hye-ji saw the placard hanging around Yoo Ju-yeon’s neck in a moment of passing by.
“Mutations and fractures are the basics, and why do people who have E-level status abnormalities and even heal buffs talk about it?”
“There must be a reason.”
“Shall we recruit them into our party?”
“… … .”
“Until I graduate here. Shouldn’t the boss wake up?”
There is a reason Kim Sang-wook and Kim Hye-ji only go together.
Because he is strong enough to not need a healer.
Even they almost died in front of the field boss at Seoul Grand Park.
There was no shortage of dill.
“I think I’ll fix it if I have a decent healer.”
The field is not just a place where you can beat everyone with a high level and strong.
Depending on the environment of each field, the ability can be halved or more than the limit can be extracted.
In that respect, Seoul Grand Park is somewhat vulnerable to the combination of mage and tank.
“I mean seriously. Why don’t you bring me as a mercenary?”
“… … .”
At Kim Hye-ji’s words, Kim Sang-wook fell into trouble.
They had no intention of seeking new party members for their party.
It has been so far and will be so in the future.
However, the same is true of not choosing the means and methods in attacking the field.
Seeking a party member out of necessity, even for a moment, was not a taboo set by them.
It was a good plan.
“Are you coming to come?”
Except for the unexpected variables.
“… … no way. Are we? At an S-class tanker and S-class wizard party, will you refuse to give me a ride on the boss bus?”
Kim Hye-ji denied the reality.
Even if the healer is a noble. The party of the two is also formidable power.
In particular, there are almost no users sweeping the field alone at Seoul Grand Park.
In addition, the same goes for defeating the field boss monster [Poison Lizard King].
“… … .”
Confidence pierced the sky, but it was true that I felt uncomfortable because I couldn’t solve the part that I didn’t understand.
“Even if you poke at any guild, there will be a line of places that will shoot you in billions as a down payment, so why do you work hard on the street? I don’t understand with my common sense. Are you a criminal? no It wouldn’t matter if you had a few criminal records.”
The more I thought about it, the more curious I became.
“I can’t. I need to ask.”
Kim Sang-wook snatched Kim Hye-ji’s robe, which turned straight back.
“ah. why!”
“Don’t just go and sell your side dish, go hunting.”
“My brother is watching. Because this sister will take care of it.”
Silky hair flows down the stripped hood of the robe.
Skin that shines whiter in sunlight.
The features that filled the gap between them.
Yoo Joo-yeon followed with a confident step with a smile that knew better than anyone that she was pretty.
* * *
“hey!”
After leaving Seoul Grand Park, I was about to take a taxi home, but my head turned around when I heard a voice.
The voice that tickled my ear was pretty just to hear.
“Me?”
In fact, the woman who turned her head was pretty.
To the extent that Yoo Ju-yeon stands shoulder to shoulder with Lee Soo-yeon, the only pretty woman she has ever seen in her life.
Are celebrities on TV like this?
“Don’t you remember me?”
“yes.”
He nodded his head in response to the question.
I’ve never seen such a pretty woman before.
Even the pouting lips as if he didn’t like the answer made his heart pound.
“You just tried to pretend to know my brother. Please save me a few days ago.”
“… … uh?”
I remembered when he said that.
“omg.”
A woman wearing a robe that used to pass by with a man.
I didn’t even see it because I was wearing a hood.
“That arm was cut off… … !”
“yes. that’s right.”
“and!”
Admiration came out of nowhere.
At that time, I couldn’t afford to look at his face, and I couldn’t even see it properly because it was covered in blood in the first place.
It was also very dark.
But when I saw it in this bright light, it was unbelievably pretty.
Did you save this person?
“It’s nice to be able to say thank you. If it hadn’t been for me then, I might have really died.”
“no way. What is cutting… … .”
“It was like that, and I had a lot of addiction.”
“ah. is it so?”
I didn’t know you had an addiction.
Anyway, seeing Beauty smile and talk to me made me feel good for no reason.
“Are you hunting here?”
“no.”
There’s also a conversation going on there.
I don’t even think I want to go home and rest, I answer with all my heart.
“Do you have a party?”
“no.”
“Then what guild do you belong to?”
“no.”
“Great!”
Somehow, the questions weren’t what Juyeon Yoo wanted.
As you step closer with a bright smile, a sweet scent stings your nose.
Even the moment of hesitation is cute.
Although the direction of the question was strange, the anticipation was amplified.
Is spring day coming to me too!
Then, all of a sudden, I felt uncomfortable.
‘Why me?’
A crush on the benefactor who saved him?
Unfortunately, Yoo Ju-yeon does not believe in the implausible reality that can only be used in adult comics.
“We need a temporary healer for our party. If you have time, would you like to talk with me over a cup of tea? Give me your number and I’ll call you.”
“… … .”
It also had a different purpose.
It was a natural phenomenon.
Because Yoo Joo-yeon’s skills were so good that anyone would want to hire her.
Sorry, but not disappointed.
“sorry.”
“yes?”
In my mind, I wanted to have a relationship with such a beauty and skills.
However, Yoo Joo-yeon faced the reality.
It was not a matter of courage to score a goal that was difficult to score.
Yoo Joo-yeon’s level was too low to join the D-class field party.
“Because the level is low. sorry.”
life comes first
You have to live to dream of a pink future.
It’s a pity, but I politely declined and turned around before leaving any regrets.
“wait a minute!”
I heard an urgent cry, but I ignored it and got into a taxi.
Only regrets remain when you listen to it.
Will the day come when I can be with her?
I looked out the window with sad eyes and let go of my first love.
* * *
The bitterness of excitement was also for a while, and after returning home, Manji became happy again with 3 million won.
“300 a day is 9,000 a month?”
It was a miracle calculation, but it seemed that it would not be difficult to earn tens of millions of won if I went to work every day.
“It’s really safe if you just give it a good character.”
In particular, it was surprising that Heal Buff was doing better than expected.
If only I could fix this every day.
The harvest on the first day of experimenting with the newly acquired detailed characteristics was satisfactory.
I learned how to use it in practice, so I understood it, and I was thrilled when I remembered the meeting with the woman Yu Ju-yeon saved.
“Should I level up a bit?”
Most of the users who raise their magic stats anyway enter the field with low physical stats.
So, if you can’t manage the monster’s aggro, the situation with the woman a few days ago will happen.
You don’t even need to level up too much.
At least not enough to die in one hit.
In the field, at least enough to not make hunting impossible due to lack of stamina.
“How much should I raise?”
I searched the community.
-Normal magic-type traits gain stats by leveling up, but they are inconsistent with magic. natural story. That way, the efficiency of magic skills will increase and you will have mana to roll the skill one more time. However, even in an E-class field, if you hit all the magic like a game, there will be cases where you are in a dying state from a single blind fist of a monster. So what is needed is physical ability.
The way to raise the physical ability was simple.
– All permanently applied level up stats and bonus stats can be invested in magic, and body stats can be filled with items. The more money, the higher it will be. If you don’t have money, you’ll just level up and put in stat mana, spread out and join a little lower party. mana characteristics also cost a lot of money.
There was no fixed standard according to the field.
Of course, it would be nice if the physical ability was high.
Accordingly, the magic ability had to be high.
“In the end, it’s money.”
All magic-type unique attributes are treated as nobles in the field.
healer. Wizard. buffer.
As a noble, the party’s hunting speed varies greatly depending on the noble’s ability, so the value of magical ability pierces the sky.
That’s why mana is invested in stat points and relatively inexpensive physical stat items are purchased.
“… … The elemental ring looks expensive again.”
What about the closing accessories for SS-class wizards?
It gets messed up somehow.
Anyway, it came to the conclusion that money was needed even after leveling up.
“I’m going to have to go hunting while Hilpal runs hard.”
I was getting used to the skill master’s copy to some extent, so it seemed like the time had come for me to try hunting as a user.
[Tutorial Quest (4)]
▶ Try hunting monsters with the copied skills.
▶ As you level up, you can copy more skills and unlock the contents of the skill master. Let’s become a hunter who sweeps the field with the power of a skill master.
▶ Kill monsters 0 / 20
▶ Reward: 200 SP, [Skill Copy (EX)] Activation of Detailed Attribute (2)
Motivation also appeared at the same time.
“It was good.”
Excitedly, I pull out the playlists I’ve been shopping for.
Healing skills are useless for field hunting.
“I catch it myself.”
Various types of magic unfolded.
