chapter 4
004. Rice Soup Tanker Lee Yu-ri (2)
“Yes?”
Jin Yu-ha asked in an embarrassed voice.
“I don’t think you need to be a hunter, just curious why you are doing it?”
The moment he heard that, Yuri’s face hardened.
‘You said you wouldn’t need to hunt someone who came to help? What kind of bullsh*t is that?’
A b*tch called the dealer was talking nonsense to the person he urgently saved.
Lee Yoo-ri was feeling sorry for not being able to take care of Jin Yu-ha.
Lee Yu-ri gave more strength to her arm wrapped around her neck and turned around with a stroke.
“It hurts! It hurts!”
“Come here for a second. And unnie and Yuna and you too.”
Yuri Lee said with a cold face.
“Jin Yoo-ha. I’m sorry, but I thought of something to talk about between us for a moment. Can you wait here for a moment?”
“Ah, yes… …. All right.”
Lee Yu-ri asked for Jin Yu-ha’s understanding and summoned the party members from quite a distance.
*
“Go Yoon-seo. Do you have any thoughts? To the person who came to help today. Are you saying that out of the blue?”
“No. I’m just suspicious…….”
The yellow ponytail droops down.
This is our team’s dealer.
“Haa, I’m a man, so I have to pay a lot of attention. Go and apologize properly.”
Then, the late Yoon-seo shook his head. However, it seems that he is still dissatisfied with the fact that his mouth came out.
Yuuri squeezed her temples and suppressed her throbbing hair.
“What’s wrong? Say it.”
“It’s suspicious… …. Soup, aren’t you suspicious? Why do you play hunter with that face? And poor! Why are you poor with that look!? Even if you were just sitting on the street doing nothing and looking like a beggar, there would be a line of women to take you to raise you!”
Go Yoon-seo protested with regret.
“Speak quietly. You stupid b*tch I told you the circumstances yesterday because of persuasion, but are you going to advertise that we shared privacy with Jin Yu-ha?”
“…… No, still.”
“If you are curious about that, why don’t you go and ask why you are poor?”
“It’s just that I don’t understand…….”
Go Yoon-seo couldn’t let go of her doubts despite Lee Yoo-ri’s reprimand.
To be honest, Lee Yu-ri also sympathized.
Even when I checked my face after receiving my resume, I thought it was not an ordinary appearance.
But at the time I didn’t think it was a real face.
‘Of course they think they cheated with the picture, but who thinks it’s the real face… ….’
Since he is a man who likes to make up, I thought that he would have to correct it.
By the way, how was it when you actually met Jin Yoo-ha at the station a while ago?
Yuri Lee did not recognize him.
Because it was completely different from the face I saw on my resume.
I couldn’t capture even a single face in the photo, probably because I was a eunuch.
If there’s anything unexpected, it’s that the losing side is your resume?
The moment when his lips almost collided, the happening came to mind in his head, and he shook his head.
“To be honest, I don’t think Yoonseo is wrong. It is true that it is suspicious.”
“Isn’t it? Does your sister think so too!?”
Healer unnie Choi So-yeon, who was listening by the side, said in a quiet voice.
“I think being a prospective cadet at Velvet Academy is also a career scam. I heard that there are many men these days who approach hunters in this way and stick straws in them.”
“Why Hunter?”
Lee Yu-ri’s younger sister, the porter Lee Yu-na, reacted to those words.
“Hunters die quickly. When she gets married, she gets a hazard benefit, and when she dies, she gets a death benefit.”
“Hey!”
Lee Yu-ri shook her head at the party members’ absurd suspicion.
I understand.
Because clearing dungeons is no joke.
It is said to be an E-class gate, but it is a dangerous task that anyone can lose their lives if they are not careful.
A really small mistake can make one of today’s party members come back as a cold corpse tomorrow.
‘But it must be because the person you brought has a special gender and appearance.’
Normally, they wouldn’t have done this either.
But now the entire party is overly sharp.
Because of the dealer who ran away the day before.
‘I understand. But this isn’t good.’
As the team leader leading the party members, it’s time to deal with the situation with the dungeon attack coming soon.
Lee Yu-ri organized her thoughts and opened her mouth.
“You guys are saying that Mr. Jin Yu-ha’s identity is suspicious, right? Career.”
Then, the party members nodded to her.
“Then, if that is the case, to what extent will your doubts be alleviated?”
“…… For now.”
Choi So-yeon nodded slightly.
“First of all, it wouldn’t be a lie to say that Jin Yu-ha was a prospective cadet at Velvet Academy.”
“How does unnie know that…… ?”
Yuna asked.
Yuri Lee pointed at Jin Yu-ha, who was standing far away.
“Look at his clothes. We have that at our house too. A training uniform sent to you if you pass the academy.”
“My sister hid it so I’ve never seen it…… ? She told me not to come near her closet because she was cheating on nice clothes.”
“That, that… ….”
Yuri Lee’s face heated up.
Then the party members let out a kick—laughter.
Anyway, the atmosphere is a little relaxed.
Big, big—!
Lee Yuri cleared his throat awkwardly and continued talking.
“Uh, anyway!! These are the clothes the academy gives you. No matter how much the acceptance standard for male cadets is lower than that for females, they won’t let you pass just because your gender is male.”
Of course, Jin Yu-ha passed. Just because he’s a man.
“And just because her appearance is special, throw away the prejudice that she is someone who takes advantage of it. There are very few such men.”
Of course, throughout her academy life, Jin Yu-ha stuck with her female students and ate from her. Every time she goes she changes girls.
“You must have special skills. At least one serving will do.”
Of course, originally, Jin Yu-ha’s specialized grade was E, which had no horns.
After talking that far, the look of doubt slowly faded from the faces of the party members.
“And Jin Yoo-ha is better than Hye-ji.”
Finally, Lee Yoo-ri detonated the bomb.
That’s right, the dealer who escaped. ‘Hyeji’.
Then the atmosphere of the party members suddenly changed.
“… Come to think of it, Hyeji, that b*tch with a haircut. You didn’t even pay the entrance fee to that gate!? What Gukbap gave me before was said to be given later, but he didn’t give it to me!? b*tch like a dog!”
“I didn’t like her at first. I’m a dealer, but I have a lot of complaints about trying to get on the bus and healing you.”
“Me, me too, that older sister… …. I ignored her as a porter…….”
After all, nothing unites the atmosphere like Public Enemy.
As soon as the atmosphere was set, Lee Yu-ri let out a sigh of relief.
“Yes, Mr. Jin Yu-ha is the one who came to clean up Hye-ji’s poop. Even if that person serves 0.5 Servings, we are in a position to bow down.”
“Umm, that’s what I thought… …. It’s right… There is! Honestly, it might be heaven to go with Jin Yoo-ha, who is very good, rather than going with Hye-ji and that bus-chung…. ?”
Choi So-yeon and Yuna burst into laughter at Go Yoon-seo’s usual reception.
“Yes. Now let’s go introduce ourselves and get ready to go right in.”
“Okay. Team Leader!”
“Yes, manager.”
“Yes! Sister!”
* * *
Party members left me here and went to Girl’s Talk and didn’t come back for a while.
Still, there was no time to be bored.
Thanks to 《Sensation》, one of the talents that I developed yesterday, I could hear all the conversations when I focused my ears.
Gukbap paid for Nick this time as well.
A reassurance that comforts party members who are anxious about my gender and appearance, and unites them by making public enemies.
‘And the party members don’t seem to be strange.’
Basically, trust in the team leader is high, and complaints are accepted if they are satisfied.
Originally, the great sage teacher said that if five people gather, one person is trash.
That trash must have been a woman named Hyeji who escaped yesterday.
After finishing talking, the party members returned.
“I’m sorry. Mr. Yuha Jin The conversation got longer because of the person I fell for the day before.”
It is a way of speaking that is considerate of my mood.
If it’s a matter related to the previous day’s teammates, it’s a strange picture for me to be seated.
“Yes, I am fine.”
I heard everything, but I pretended not to hear and nodded my head.
“Then, I’ll just introduce the party members and leave.”
First, Lee Yuri introduced herself.
“I am Lee Yoo-ri. I am the leader of the party. My position is a tank.”
After Lee Yoo-ri’s introduction, she continued with a yellow ponytail.
“Hello! Mr. Yuha Jin! I’m a dealer and my name is Go.Yoon.Seo! Forget what I said in the beginning! I have a habit of spitting out whatever comes to my mind. Earlier, it was because Jin Yu-ha was so handsome! Sorry!”
Go Yoon-seo bowed her head at a right angle and apologized.
“It’s okay. On the contrary, thank you for looking at me favorably.”
“Kheu, good-looking people have good personalities.”
Go Yoon-seo trembled.
He seemed to have a clean personality with no regrets.
“My name is Choi So-yeon. My position is a healer.”
Next the brown-haired woman said softly and she immediately shut her mouth.
“My name is Yuri unnie’s younger sister Lee Yoo Na. Ji, I’m the porter!”
Lee Yu-ri’s younger brother?
So what about rice soup?
I am definitely interested this time.
Lee Yoo-ri This is a face I haven’t seen in her personal story, but this is precious.
I carefully checked her.
Shall we call Lee Yoo-ri the type who reduced her size and made her long hair?
“Certainly, they looked alike from up close.”
“Yes…… ?”
“Ah, I heard that she is the younger sister of team leader Lee Yu-ri, so I watched it because I was curious. I’m sorry if I offended you.”
“Oh, no… ….”
The introduction of the party members ended with Yuna, whose face turned red.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Yuha Jin. The position is a dealer and uses a sword. I interrupted abruptly today, but please take good care of me.”
Pair—!
As soon as I finished speaking, Yuri clapped her hands.
“Then, let’s start right now. It’s just about time.”
We each installed the equipment we brought.
It’s me, just wear a sword around your waist and you’re done.
Lee Yuri led us and approached the female soldier who was conducting the inspection.
“8:00 Reservation team. I’m Lee Yu-ri, the team leader.”
“Yes, Ms. Lee Yu-ri. Confirmed. The cleaning time is 10 hours. You have to come out before 6pm.”
“Yes, I understand.”
We passed the checkpoint and headed for the gate.
The gate is in the form of an oval ring that emits blue light.
It was just big enough for one person to pass through.
“I will go in first. Follow me right away.”
We nodded our heads with firm faces at Lee Yu-ri’s words.
Then she moved her feet toward the gate.
* * *
Another world spread out inside the gate.
The city buildings that were seen around were nowhere to be found, and the thicket of bushes and trees spread endlessly.
Still, did the hunters periodically visit and clear it?
There was a naturally made dirt road.
“Ao-san, no matter how many times you pass through the gate, you never get used to it.”
“…… Really.”
When the late Yoon-seo shook her head and said, Yuna also frowned and agreed with her.
“Now, be quiet. Everyone line up!”
Still, seeing what the team leader said and settled down right away, the pros were definitely pros.
As I heard the explanation on the way, Lee Yu-ri, the tank, stands at the front, and I and Ko Yoon-seo stand on either side behind him.
Healer Choi So-yeon at the back.
And in the middle of our formation, Lee Yu-na is a porter.
My role here is to protect Lee Yu-na.
‘If this goes wrong, not only Yuna, but also Gukbap will get a grudge.’
Because Yuna is Gukbap’s younger sister. She didn’t want to imagine resentment coming back if something went wrong.
‘First, then detection.’
I activated the attribute I had just checked, 《Perception》.
Keying─
As you concentrate, your five senses become more sensitive, and information floods in from all directions.
The smell of grass grows stronger, and the sound of the wind brushing the leaves is loud.
Even the heart sounds of nervous party members.
Thrilling—
I straighten the hilt
I followed Yuri Lee.
It must have been about 10 minutes.
Sureuk─
In an instant, something caught moving.
Talk. Tok.
As agreed beforehand, I tapped Lee Yuri on the shoulder and said.
“Necky in the front. I have two.”
Then, Lee Yu-ri, who narrowed her eyes and watched her, tilted her head.
“…… Where are you on the front?”
“About a hundred meters ahead. The direction is the front.”
Nike is small. And a monster that is not easy to spot because it moves through the grass wearing protective colors.
Lee Yu-ri turned her head with her bewildered eyes.
Looks like he can’t believe he’s detected Niki over a hundred meters away.
“You saw Niki a hundred meters ahead?”
“Yes. It is about ninety meters now.”
“Um… …. First off, I get it. You can go and check it anyway.”
Yuri Lee fixed her shield again and moved forward.
And soon.
“Ten meters ahead! Found two bodies of Niki! Go Yoon-seo, attack!”
Yuri Lee found Niki and shouted.
“Eh, what is it… …. Was it real?”
Go Yoon-seo looked at me with bewildered eyes as he pulled out his two-handed twin swords from his waist.
