The Heroine Saves the World

The heroine saves the world

Episode 42

‘Do I like him?’

Jang Su-ho was so confused that his head felt like it was spinning.

After leaving the guerrilla dungeon, the conversation I had with the guild leader came to mind all at once, making me feel even more so.

Kang Han asked, looking at Na Yeo-ju, who was lying helplessly on the special room bed at the Awakening Hospital.

“Why was Na Yeo-ju the target?”

“Well… I don’t know. At that time, I could only see Na Yeo-ju….”

Jang Su-ho continued speaking while roughly wiping his face, which still bore the marks of the dungeon.

“I wanted to kill him. But it was a little different.”

“Explain in more detail.”

It was a strategy full of questions.

Jang Su-ho had difficulty confessing under Kang Han-yi’s gaze that was fixed on him.

“When I lost my mind before, I really just wanted to destroy everything, but Na Yeo-ju… Na Yeo-ju was scared. I think that’s why I rushed at her.”

“I was scared.”

Jang Su-ho nodded.

“When I become Berserker, I become a different person. But I had this feeling that my hair stood on end because of the fear that Nayeoju’s existence would erase that me.”

“I guess you could say it was an instinctive feeling of threat.”

“Yes, but Na Yeo-ju’s hand cooled my head down in an instant. So I came back to my senses……”

Jang Su-ho kept his words short.

There were things I couldn’t say out loud, especially to Kang-han.

The moment Nayeoju’s hand touched him, even though Berserker mode was turned off, he could only see Nayeoju.

It felt like the world was splitting into ‘Na Yeo-ju’ and ‘not Na Yeo-ju’, as if something was being imprinted on it.

But that’s that and this is this.

Suho took a deep breath and looked back at Yeoju.

“Isn’t there a more fun movie? Something where they just hit people and break things and stuff.”

“Huh? That’s your taste, sis. Okay. Then how about this?”

“Oh, it looks kind of fun?”

The female protagonist, who was talking to Yu-eul, yawned and said.

No matter where you looked, Suho’s ideal type was as far away as the Earth and the moon.

At that moment, the female protagonist dropped a piece of popcorn she was holding in her mouth on the floor.

“Oh, it hasn’t even been three seconds.”

Then he picked up the popcorn that had fallen on the floor and chewed it.

At that moment, Suho’s mind seemed to clear up.

And I thought.

‘Yes, you shouldn’t confuse sympathy with favor.’

Okay, okay.

Suho smiled brightly and picked up the bag of potato chips he had dropped.

While the action movie I wanted to watch played, I took a moment to reflect.

First of all, it seemed like the limit on the number of stamina potions I could drink was five bottles.

If you drink more than that, the fucking turntable will start spinning and you’ll fall into an unavoidable state of abnormality even from the outside.

This time I was lucky enough to just faint, but who knows what might happen next.

So, rather than relying on potions, let’s first collect items that increase the absolute value of my stamina.

Also, Jang Su-ho’s Berserker mode seemed to be in tune with the darkness coming from inside the gate.

This was the conclusion I reached when I compared it to the last time I was at the association training center, where I was able to control myself relatively easily even when I was angry.

‘And I think there’s something more to the Dark Purification skill.’

It was just a gut feeling.

But it was more like a strong premonition that couldn’t be completely ignored.

I pretended to watch a movie and checked my status screen.

I always focused only on the skill ‘Strengthening Body and Mind’, which is the ability to heal dark addiction.

But this time my eyes were drawn to the empty skill slot below.

The word ’empty’ meant that another skill could be placed in that spot.

Perhaps it was a premonition that, rather than simply purifying the darkness, one might gain the ability to ‘handle’ it.

‘Please don’t give me anything weird like a turntable.’

Then the system that wasn’t even called answered.

[ The system does its best to protect users. ]

‘That’s funny.’

Why is it that suddenly stunning someone without healing skills working is the best thing for me?

What if something like that happens in the middle of a battle!

At least I have someone strong enough to carry me and run away no matter what the situation.

I asked before the system could shut up again.

‘So what options are on that turntable?’

[ It varies from time to time . ]

‘Arai.’

It was my fault for expecting a proper answer from the system.

I chewed and swallowed my anger at the system along with my popcorn.

The second action movie I watched has already ended.

Before everyone went back to their rooms, I took out the words I had prepared in advance.

“Let’s feel this out properly.”

It can’t help but be frustrating.

I know what the Holy Grail is, but other people don’t.

I have no choice but to present a credible emotional report.

“Feelings? Aren’t they expensive?”

Lee Yu-chan asked while organizing the snack bags.

“Now the guild has that much money.”

“Oh, that’s right. I forgot because you were so much more miserable than us.”

“When did I ever feel depressed?”

“I saw you picking up and eating the popcorn that fell on the ground earlier.”

As expected, young eyes are different.

When did you see that again?

“Anyway, since it seems like an unusual item, I think it would be better to get it appraised in advance and decide how to store it.”

“Let’s do that.”

Kang-han immediately agreed.

He probably feels it too.

That this Holy Grail is not a simple item.

“But who do you get your appraisal from? Aren’t appraisers usually booked for several months?”

There are so many items in the world, and ordinary hunters can’t even properly check their own status screen.

So, emotional specialists with emotional skills are busy and expensive.

But I have a refinement.

“There is someone I know well.”

“Can’t I follow you too?”

Jang Su-ho suddenly said.

“no.”

“why?”

“He’s really shy. If I go with you, he might not even open the door.”

Jeong-hwa isn’t that kind of proactive person.

Anyway, the conversation won’t continue as usual.

How dare you open your mouth.

“Tch.”

Jang Su-ho stuck out his lips.

No, since when have you been following me around?

I don’t know what the effect of the keyword ‘owner’ is, but it felt like I had adopted a large dog that was biting me without me knowing.

And then, as we were having that conversation that wasn’t a conversation, the reason came to us.

“Sister, when you go to get the appraisal, can you receive this as well?”

What Lee Yu-eul held out in front of me was a jungle machete that she had picked up in a jungle dungeon and started using.

“You still have this?”

“Yes. Well, I think that’s why she became an item.”

“It became an item?”

I was so surprised that I called up Mando’s information window.

[ Jungle Mando ( A )

: A machete specialized in cutting down anything that blocks the way.

Imprint owner – Reason ]

“her.”

This is a real steal.

A weapon with characteristics that perfectly matched Lee Yu-eul’s skills and tendencies became an A-class item when it appeared outside the dungeon, and it was even engraved.

Now this weapon can only be used by someone other than Lee Yu.

I couldn’t stop the corners of my mouth from curling up, so I covered my mouth with my hand and answered.

“Okay, I’ll get my feelings tested tomorrow.”

The Guild of Justice, maybe you’re luckier than you think?

Arrived at Maestro Tower in Jamsil.

I bought a bag of candy as usual and went down to the 4th basement floor to go to the workshop Sugar.

And he opened the door and went in, shouting.

“Knock knock! I’m here!”

Then, Jeong-hwa Jeong, who had been crouching at the workbench and doing something, raised her head.

“Why are you so surprised?”

Jeong-hwa’s eyes, visible through black horn-rimmed glasses, were round.

“I was just about to contact you.”

“Huh, what does that mean?”

“The earrings I commissioned are just finished.”

I tossed the bag of candy roughly on the counter and ran to my workbench.

Then Jeong-hwa Jeong placed the earring down on the black, glossy cloth.

“Ha, crazy.”

And the moment I saw it, I couldn’t help but let out an exclamation.
