Things went much easier than I expected.

Surprisingly, it was just as Soyi had said.

‘Even if I stay still, there will be a chance to be alone together, right?’

When I asked out of curiosity the reason, Soyi smiled and gave me a vague answer, saying it was a woman’s intuition.

If I had asked in detail, Soyi probably would have given a clearer answer, but I thought there must be a reason for not telling her, so I didn’t ask in detail.

The important thing is that things are going well as Soyi said.

I never thought Eunjeong would make a suggestion herself.

I got scolded for holding back my happiness.

Eunjeong and I decided to take charge of the pharmacy.

The reason was simple.

The food team in charge of food decided to go to the shopping mall.

It is said that the shopping mall has been taken over by monsters that have flocked there since the last time we were there.

Should I say that I am self-employed?

I felt a little bitter and relieved at the same time.

Anyway, if the monster was the opponent, not only Soyi but also Jaehoon could fight stably, so the two of them decided to take charge.

And on the contrary, it seemed that the pharmacy was probably occupied by people who were incarnations of one constellation.

The pharmacy seemed to be getting quite a bit of attention at the moment.

“It might be difficult for Jaehoon because he might end up fighting with someone.”

“…Jaehoon is so kind.”

Eun-jeong said with a bitter smile at my words.

We arrived near the pharmacy.

Then suddenly several messages poured in.

[The owner of the snake staff is angry and asks you to punish the robbers who have taken over the pharmacy.]

[The Goddess of Justice is looking at you with joy and wants justice to be served on the evildoers who have taken over the pharmacy.]

[The owner of the arena promises support if you win the battle.]

[…]

My vision was almost obscured by the messages sent by the constellations.

I had to block the messages for a while.

It seemed like a place that was already attracting quite a bit of attention.

‘It’s a pharmacy.’

I searched my mind.

But it never came to mind.

If it received this much attention in the beginning, it would definitely have been mentioned in the original work.

Why don’t I remember it?

Just in case, I set it up so that I can take out the jungle sword from my inventory at any time.

Eunjeong pursed her lips as if she was worried at the attention of the many constellations that appeared before her eyes.

“What on earth is happening inside the pharmacy…”

“…”

This time, I couldn’t give you the right answer.

Instead, I smiled at Eun-jeong and said,

“Don’t worry. You have an older brother.”

I said slyly.

Surprisingly, after saying it a few times, I wasn’t that embarrassed even if I said it of my own volition.

On the contrary, I began to feel that the confidence in introducing myself as my older brother was not a bad thing.

I also thought I knew why some men called me their older brother.

“Oppa, I feel it.”

Eunjeong chuckled and laughed.

Before, he had a really disgusted expression.

Now he was reacting as if it was fun.

He even called me oppa.

I warmed up a bit beforehand.

Whatever is happening, deal with it quickly.

Also, I need to raise Eunjeong’s likeability rating.

The two of us, relaxed, confidently entered the pharmacy.

Although it was called a pharmacy, it was different from an ordinary neighborhood pharmacy.

A downtown area with a large shopping mall.

It was a pharmacy that occupied the entire first floor of a large building, enough to rank among such places.

Moreover, the entire second to eighth floors of this large building were a hospital.

Otolaryngology, ophthalmology, dentistry, plastic surgery, orthopedics, etc.

As it is a pharmacy that prescribes all medications for these many hospitals, its size and scale were beyond imagination.

As I said, there are only 4 counters.

It seemed like two counters were used for reception, one for payment, and one for handing out medicine.

Of course, it seemed like it was being used in a completely different way now.

“Medicine, please give me some blood pressure medicine. My husband…”

“My child has a headacheㅡ”

“I too…cough…I have a cold…”

When I opened the door, I saw about three people.

We weren’t the only ones looking for medicine.

Several passengers were approaching the counter and begging.

However, no matter how much I looked, the man sitting at the counter seemed far from a pharmacist.

Tattoos on arms, white short sleeves and bad posture.

“A, they’re here again.”

Then the man slowly walked out from the counter.

The man came out scratching his head in annoyance and there was a frighteningly sharp sashimi knife in his left hand.

“Is the door broken? Even if I lock it, it keeps coming in…huh?”

The man raised his knife and his eyes widened as he noticed us just coming in.

Then he pointed at one of us with a knife.

He was pointing at Eunjeong next to me.

The man grinned.

“Hey, you go to the side, and my brother will take care of you later. Do you need medicine?”

In an instant, Eun-jeong’s expression became grim.

“Oppa, damn it.”

“…”

Everyone looked taken aback by the cool swearing, and I was relieved and holding back laughter.

Well then.

Do you know how much I pushed him to listen to me?

Where.

“…You fucking bitch.”

Suddenly, the man looked at the coughing man next to him.

His eyes were sparkling with life, and his actions were sudden.

Deep.

“Kaaak!”

As if to vent his anger, he plunged his knife deep into the waist of the man who was coughing.

Then Eunjeong’s eyes shook.

Eunjeong’s body was shaking with anger, fear, and embarrassment.

This must be your first time seeing a sight like this.

“…”

Without saying a word, I secretly took out the ring from my inventory and put it on my hand.

I used my heel on the man who fell, grabbed his waist, and screamed.

At least you won’t die.

And he wrapped his arms around Eunjeong’s shoulders.

“Calm down, it’s okay. I am there.”

“Whoa…Whoa… Yes, yes. Oppa…”

As the constellations were paying attention, I tried not to use healing or inventory, but looking at the situation, it seemed inevitable that I would get the constellations’ attention anyway.

After hearing the screams of the fallen man, several more men wearing gas masks came out from inside the pharmacy.

Not everyone was a pharmacist.

Seeing that each person was holding a kitchen knife in their hand, it seemed like I could roughly guess whose side they were on.

By the way, it’s a gas mask.

Maybe…

‘It must have been here around this time.’

If I’m correct, these guys were really annoying towards the middle.

Even now, they are receiving quite a lot of skills and the protection of the constellation.

It was understandable that it received attention from many constellations.

“Kids, kill everyone except that bitch.”

“Yes.”

The people who were begging for medicine must have lost strength in their legs because of those ugly words.

It sat down on the floor and crawled towards me, towards the entrance.

And I approached them in the opposite direction.

Eun-jeong said in a trembling voice.

“Oh, brother… don’t go.”

“…Do you trust me?”

Eunjeong hesitated and then nodded heavily.

“…I guess you have some pride?”

The man holding the sashimi knife said so.

I frowned.

“Wow, why are you so hateful?”

“…”

“A person who will die soon keeps his mouth open.”

When I said something cool, his expression hardened.

And soon the guy’s face turned red.

“…When will this bastard use a knife.”

If there was one lesson I learned from being half-possessed by this villain, it was that sometimes speaking in a refreshing way is good for my mental health.

The guy whose face was red at my words suddenly became embarrassed when he saw the jungle sword in my hand.

The same was true for the guy’s subordinates next to him.

My subordinates saw the sword and raised their kitchen knives to subdue me, but…

Whick!

I just quickly turned my body and swung my sword.

He swung the sword so fast that the sound of it cutting through the air almost sounded like a whistle.

The sword, which was red with all its inner strength, cut through the guys cleanly without any obstruction.

It didn’t matter what skills they had or what kind of protection they received.

At least that was the case for me.

I swung the sword in the air once again to remove the blood.

It was a merciful death compared to what they had done.

But I am more than this.

I didn’t want to waste even a moment of time on these guys.

Because it’s annoying for no reason.

I went inside the pharmacy.

When I opened the place labeled “dispensary,” an unpleasant smell came out.

I pushed out the poison with my inner energy to prevent it from entering my body.

Several men wearing gas masks turned to look at me.

With a frightened expression.

“E. I’m making it. It took a long time to separate this…”

“…?”

“Hiik… Don’t be angry…”

Do they really think of me as their colleague now?

…I guess it’s because of the size.

What an angry face.

It’s a basic facial expression.

“I came out to rescue you.”

“Jeong, really…?”

The men looked at me as if they were afraid.

In particular, I looked at the ugly jungle map and my face for a long time.

But in the end, they decided to follow my instructions and slowly walked out one or two at a time.

And then I screamed when I saw the guys lying down with their bodies cut in half.

At first I screamed in surprise, but the sound that came out later.

It was a sound of cheering.

“Looks good!”

“You crazy bastards!”

Unless there is a certain amount of accumulation, it is not easy to react that way when you see a corpse.

It seemed like he was quite hated.

Someone even kicked the corpse.

but.

Everyone who came out of the dispensary now had sharp stab wounds on their shoulders or arms.

Even without looking, I could tell who had made the wound.

“…Who are these people?”

Eunjeong came to her senses and asked me a question.

“Huh? Ah…drug offender?”

“…It was not our will.”

The men bowed their heads at my words.
