Chapter 41
The heroine saves the world
Episode 41
What are you all thinking so seriously about?
In particular, Kang Han’s face became frozen like a jangseung standing at the entrance to the village.
“So, what items came out?”
People leave behind their names when they die, and monsters leave behind items when they die.
Fortunately, Kang Han, who was impressed by my efforts to lighten the tense atmosphere, showed me something from the subspace.
The Holy Grail, slightly larger than a fist, looked unusual even to the naked eye.
[ Relics of the Fallen Temple ( C )
: ??? The last remaining relic of the temple. It contains the wishes of the priests who guarded the temple. ]
As expected, my prediction was correct.
This shouldn’t be sold.
You should keep it somewhere in the guild building for later, or tell Kang-han to put it in the subspace and carry it around.
“But isn’t it a little strange?”
Lee Yu-chan looked at the Holy Grail carefully and said.
“Normally, if you catch an alligator, even if it’s a boss mob, its hide, bones, and claws will fall off. Why is this left behind?”
“I see?”
Jang Su-ho also tilted his head.
And Han Ji-seong gave the answer.
“I guess the Crocodile King ate this and became strong.”
“It definitely wasn’t a D-class power.”
Lee Eul nodded after experiencing it herself.
As I watched the guild members figure out the correct answer on their own without me having to explain it in a roundabout way or pretend not to know, I wondered if this was how parents felt.
Of course, there were some who went off on a tangent.
“Then if we split this and eat it, can we wash it too?”
“Do you know what this is? Split it and eat it! This kid is going to make a mess of the house!”
Are you crazy?
How do your thoughts come out so brightly?
What kind of holy relic is this!
“Is the Holy Grail an eel? Should I cut it up and share it? Should I just say that the tail is mine?”
“No, I’m just saying. Why do you only do this to me!”
Jang Su-ho protested as if it was unfair, but all that came out of my mouth was a clicking sound.
“This is really too much.”
He even pouts and runs out of the hospital room.
“What, why is he like that?”
This level of bickering was a regular occurrence.
But why such a reaction?
I think it has something to do with the keyword ‘master’.
“Oh, it’s the back alley.”
I figured it out when the system told me to do a favor if I wanted to purify the dark.
What kind of apocalypse is this so hard to prevent?
No, it’s true that it’s difficult to prevent the end.
Anyway, there was too much to do.
“First, get discharged from the hospital.”
As I was saying that, I just took one foot off the bed.
Seo Yu-baek appeared like a ghost and said.
“Where are you going?”
It’s not scary, but it’s scary.
“No, I’m fine.”
I tried to rebel a little.
“Go back to bed. Rest.”
“Yes.”
Now I can’t even leave the hospital on my own.
It’s my fate.
* * *
Kang-han lay on the bed and looked up at the dark ceiling of the room.
I was on my way back to the guild after barely keeping Na Yeo-ju, who was trying to leave the hospital without telling the doctor, hospitalized for one more night.
Sigh.
“Baekyoung.”
A small white snake nestled near the nape of his neck, seeking warmth.
Kang-han’s long, rough fingers stroked Baek-young’s soft body out of habit.
The inside of the guild building was quiet, as all the other guild members seemed to be asleep as well.
The only sounds that Kang-ha could hear through his sensitive hearing right now were the sound of Cheonggyecheon flowing in the distance, the chatter of drunkards he didn’t know, and Baek-young’s thin breathing right next to his ear.
“Phew.”
He exhaled deeply.
When was the last time I felt so relaxed in this room?
I couldn’t even remember properly.
The unexplained impatience that always rang in my head was silent tonight.
‘Finally, I did it.’
It was the first time since the guild collapsed due to the 5th dungeon break.
It is a guild-like achievement that has been made in the name of the Guild of Justice.
Kang-han slowly closed his eyes.
And I looked back on the situation in the guerrilla dungeon.
When I first entered the gate, I didn’t completely trust Jang Su-ho.
I’m sorry to say this, but Suho, who entered Berserker mode, was too strong and too cruel.
That was also the reason why he allowed Yang Hwa-yeon, the leader of another guild, to accompany him.
Although he was confident that he could subdue Jang Su-ho, who had lost his mind due to madness, he did not have the confidence to protect all the other guild members in the process.
‘I never imagined that there would be someone who could control that longevity.’
Berserker, whose eyes were bloodshot red, regained his senses when Nayeoju touched him.
If the countless guilds and hunters who had treated Jang Su-ho like an animal rather than a human had seen that sight, they would not have been able to believe their eyes.
“What on earth is it?”
Although I acknowledged her as a colleague, she was still a woman with a big question mark following her.
What Na Yeo-ju said was right.
At least among the people currently living in South Korea, there was no one who did not owe a debt to the Justice Guild.
But there was no one like Na Yeo-ju who risked everything to repay that debt.
Most of them shook their heads and left after a few attempts, and some even tried to take away the few things left in the Justice Guild.
But Kang-han didn’t feel wronged by him or try to fight him.
‘Responsibility for the 5th dungeon break.’
Many people were injured and killed.
Many people lost their homes.
And the responsibility for this lay with the Guild of Justice.
So Kang-han endured silently and waited.
The Justice Guild has a chance to stand up and take responsibility for its past sins and apologize.
And then the female protagonist appeared.
“I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. I’m going to bring the Guild of Justice back to the top. That way, I’ll get my money back a hundredfold, a thousandfold.”
After she joined, the Justice Guild felt like it was riding a tiger.
It was rough, chaotic, but clearly going upwards as Nayeoju had promised.
Kang Han chuckled as he remembered the face of the woman who had just tried to leave the hospital, saying, “I have a ton of work to do.”
Bite.
At that moment, Baek-young, who was thought to be sleeping quietly, cutely bit Kang-han’s earlobe.
I don’t know what it means, but I guess it’s just a joke.
Kang Han said, stroking Baek Young’s small head.
“I think I can trust you this time, Baek Young.”
Pyoro-rong-
A small speech bubble appeared above his head as he lay there, along with a cheerful sound that Kang couldn’t hear.
《 ♥ 13 》
Only Baek Young looked up at it with clear eyes, and after confirming Kang Han’s face, which was still smiling comfortably, he fell asleep again.
* * *
“Oh my, home is the best.”
After being discharged from the hospital, the first place I went was the training grounds in the basement of the guild.
I’ve been lying here for so long that I find it more comfortable than my room.
But today the training room was empty.
Instead, the area around the central sofa was noisy.
Because we gathered to celebrate my discharge from the hospital.
“I like Pep X Cola!”
“Ah, I can’t have a meal with Pep X.”
“What are you talking about, you only drink Zero.”
The twins were fighting as usual.
“Brother Jisung, don’t you feel refreshed after exercising?”
“……okay.”
Han Ji-seong, who was dragged around by the sports fanatic Jang Su-ho, is tired.
“…….”
Today, Kang Han, who doesn’t know what he’s thinking, is stroking Baek Yeong-man, who is wrapped around his wrist like a bracelet.
“Familiarity is the best.”
It’s a bit surprising that I’ve become comfortable with this mess.
“Sister, what movie should I play?”
“Play whatever you want to watch.”
“Hey, it’s my sister’s discharge party. I have to see what she wants to see!”
Lee Yu-eul, who was half a head taller than me, acted cute while hitting me.
“Oh, that one. That one looks fun. It’s number one today. Let’s see that one, that one.”
I said, pointing to a movie that was randomly appearing on the screen.
“Oh, a romantic comedy. I wanted to see that too.”
Lee Yu-eul started playing the movie, saying, “We are connected after all.”
Overall, it was just an okay movie to watch.
For some reason, the male protagonist is cursed to turn into a wolf-like beast when the full moon rises.
And then one full moon night, the female protagonist, who accidentally wanders into the male protagonist’s mansion, discovers that she has the power to turn him into a human again.
The rest was obvious.
The story is about a male protagonist who initially refuses to marry her, saying he might hurt her, but after a series of events, he eventually gives in to his instinctive attraction and the two fall in love.
“Do people like this kind of thing these days?”
Since ancient times, movies have been about beating things up and destroying things, right?
Thinking like that, I felt like I would rather sleep.
Pyoro-rong-
I heard a voice that seemed to be getting more favorable from somewhere, and I opened my slowly closing eyes.
Who are you! Who are you!
And then I discovered a speech bubble above Jang Su-ho’s head.
《 ♥ 24 : Master 》
For some reason, Jang Su-ho, whose earlobes were red, was staring at the screen with his mouth wide open.
Why is he like that?
The bag of potato chips eventually fell out of the hand of the guy who was watching the kissing scene between the two main characters with wide eyes.
And then I heard someone mumbling something.
“No… I don’t think so… Are we, are we?”
