Chapter Index

    The large teeth in his grasp trembled.

    It was a monster’s tooth that I grabbed in shock from the attack that flew right in front of my nose right after the space jump.

    I finally found the location where the unidentified rescue signal was sent, and almost got punched in the face.

    – What the heck…!

    An eerie sound came from his tightly clenched hands.

    Eventually, the prosthetic limb and teeth rubbed together, sending sparks flying.

    The force applied to the hand is quite strong.

    Lee Ha-yul furrowed his brows as he sprayed water.

    ‘What tier is it? The highest tier of 5… No, considering the dungeon adjustments, it’s probably a 4th tier chin-up…?’

    The body resembled a lizard.

    Long tail and elongated snout.

    Scales as thick as armor and thorns sticking out like pressure points on their surface.

    ‘The unique ability is in the detection series. It is rare for a monster to be born with the detection series.’

    However, it is not a unique ability that directly affects battle.

    In the end, it is simply an entity with an outstanding body.

    – Th, th …

    But monsters are threatening in their own right.

    So, it’s a good rule of thumb to avoid wrestling with monsters if possible… but I can’t follow that rule right now because of the things behind me.

    – Woof woof!

    I grabbed my lower jaw, which kept trying to slip out, with my other hand and pulled up my magical power.

    The magical power that had been waiting circulated through the circuit.

    The body was activated by the precisely performed rigid body technique.

    – Kkuddeuk…!

    He clenched his fists and resisted with a loud noise.

    The monster screamed as fingers dug into its teeth and jaws.

    Her hair blew in the strong wind.

    At the same time as the monster’s cry of pain was evident, a sign of magical power appeared right in front of my nose.

    Magical power surged from the throat inside the gaping mouth.

    It was a crude, monster-like magical radiation.

    He also flapped his wings in response. The rays of attribute shot from the five-colored wings…

    “How dare you say that…!”

    …Before the shot was fired, Lee Ji-yeon ran towards him with fire in her eyes.

    As a side effect of the space jump, my head and stomach still felt dizzy, but my body moved well once I entered the combat situation.

    Lee Ji-yeon took a short leap and pulled one arm back.

    A body strengthening exercise using Taesan and Kangche’s techniques. A cracking sound echoed through the tightly clenched fist.

    Immediately after, the rock formed by the fist forms a thick armor, and is covered with brown-colored steel.

    Then, as if he had discussed it beforehand, Lee Ha-yool let go of both hands and pulled his body back.

    At the same time, Lee Ji-yeon brought down the fist she had been pulling behind her back.

    – Kwaaang!

    The fist that fell, tearing through the air, hit the bridge of his nose.

    The head, which had been gaping open, closed and fell to the ground, unable to even scream.

    – Phew!

    The head on the floor shook.

    The magical power radiating from within the mouth exploded.

    Black smoke poured out through the snout.

    Lee Ji-yeon landed lightly and didn’t stop there, but kicked the ground.

    He lowered his posture and waved his hands across the floor.

    In the hand that had brushed the ground, there was a hammer woven from rock.

    A large, extra-large bucket that fit into a long handle rushed in, scraping the floor.

    – Kwaaang!

    The head, barely raised, was hit hard by a hammer.

    Likewise, the monster rolled on the floor without even being able to scream as it was hit by a hammer full of energy.

    It’s a chance to push.

    Since you hit his head repeatedly and damaged him, he must be out of his mind.

    Let’s just charge ahead and ride the momentum.

    “Hoo… !”

    That thought crossed her mind for a moment, but Lee Ji-yeon quickly shook it off and kicked the ground.

    Backwards, not forwards.

    I stood in front of Lee Ha-yool and took a good look at his posture.

    [?]

    Lee Ha-yool, who was preparing to assist, tilted his head as he thought Lee Ji-yeon would push straight ahead.

    [Senior, just now you were just pushing forward…]

    “No, I think it’s right to step down for now because there’s not enough information. And I have to protect my juniors first.”

    [… That’s not something I don’t like to hear, but um… uh… thank you]

    “Don’t mention it.”

    The confrontation continued thanks to Lee Ji-yeon’s return.

    Even lizard-like monsters are on guard, scratching their wounds.

    The monsters that had gathered around were being driven away by the spirits and ghosts that Lee Ji-yeon and I spat out.

    “More than that, is the reason you kidnapped me again this late at night because of those kids?”

    [… Yes, I’m sorry for doing it without saying anything]

    “You’ve realized it… Let’s talk about it when we get back to base.”

    Lee Ji-yeon, who was stretching her body, glanced over Lee Ha-yool’s shoulder.

    Hei Ha-yul also turned his head in the direction his gaze was directed.

    ‘…a fairy.’

    At that sight, Lee Ha-yool’s expression became even more mysterious.

    Fairies huddled together in the back.

    The hair wasn’t white, but each was different, and at most, it was only as big as Lee Ha-yul’s palm.

    The five-colored wings spread behind their backs clearly distinguished the races.

    When I first arrived, I was caught up in a chaos of monsters and being chased.

    So, I cast a defensive spell to ensure safety first, and then I pulled everyone into one place with my mind and kept an eye on them.

    [omg]

    [omg]

    [Heck]

    The fairies who had been blankly staring at Lee Ha-yul without understanding the situation flinched at the sudden gaze.

    [wings…]

    [half dozen?]

    [It’s so shiny…]

    … To be exact, I flinched greatly when I saw Lee Ha-yool’s face.

    Lee Ha-yul made a strange expression at the fairies’ actions, who were panting and reacting excitedly.

    There are many scars carved into the body.

    It looks like a wound I just got from being chased by monsters.

    And they are using leaves that should be returned to the earth as nutrients as soon as possible as clothing…

    It was a gloomy appearance in many ways.

    – Hold on

    [Wow?]

    I poked the cheek of the yellow-haired fairy at the front with my index finger.

    A small halo of light seeped into the fairy’s body from her fingertips.

    Simple healing magic. Minor wounds and such gradually disappeared.

    The fairy’s eyes, which had been blank, widened in surprise.

    The corners of Lee Ha-yool’s mouth twitched at the rather cute reaction.

    [Please wait a moment]

    […! yes!]

    The fairy smiled and nodded her head.

    “… ? What did you just say… No, let’s sort out the situation first?”

    [yes]

    I nodded to Lee Ji-yeon’s words.

    The lizard monster was still keeping its guard up and glaring this way.

    Did he decide that he still had a chance of winning by not running away? Or did he just not find the right time to run away?

    Whatever it was, there was no need to let it go.

    He’s a guy who’s like a chin-up bar, but he’s also a 4th-tier guy.

    You have to kill them and use them as commanders to gain proficiency.

    “Can I grab that?”

    So, when I was about to raise the purification stick and prepare for the magic.

    Lee Ji-yeon, who was glaring at the lizard monster with a somewhat unpleasant expression, nodded her head and spoke.

    “I also want to train and personally subdue them. Can you help me out if possible?”

    [Yes, of course]

    [As much as you want]

    [Please leave the assistance to me]

    “Thank you.”

    Lee Ha-yool nodded obediently at Lee Ji-yeon’s request and gave the order.

    – Woohoo…

    Junghwa, who had been robbed of another chance to be active, let out a gloomy cry.

    .

    .

    .

    Lee Ji-yeon literally crushed the lizard monster.

    With a double defense of rock armor and steel, he blocks all damage and approaches fiercely.

    The moment they reached the street, they unleashed all kinds of attacks, including beating, hitting, grabbing, and crushing.

    The monster was startled by the body being crushed in an instant and tried to move away, but once Lee Ji-yeon gained some distance, she did not let him go easily.

    The scene that was particularly impressive was when Lee Ji-yeon grabbed the tail and threw it in all directions.

    Although the instantaneous output was lower than that of Gyeophwa, it was a sight that seemed to show the status of Taesan, which was superior to Gyeophwa in terms of physical strength and other aspects.

    In the end, the monster was slaughtered to the point where it was difficult to even use its corpse as a commander.

    Even though it was a chin-up, it was a monster of only about 4th rank, and I couldn’t help but admire the way it was defeated so overwhelmingly.

    It was so crude and terrifying that the fairies watching the fight hugged each other and trembled.

    Anyway, other than that, I could deal with various monsters with spirits and shamans.

    But it was impossible to organize everything.

    There was no time to deal with the monsters that kept coming in like a beehive.

    So I was organizing things appropriately, and when I saw an opening, I teleported out.

    – Slurp…

    “You just teleported me again without saying a word? My heart sank, and the soup I just ate almost came back up instead.”

    – Bueeh…

    [sorry…]

    And Lee Ji-yeon, who had returned to the base, immediately sat me on her thighs and grabbed my cheeks with both hands.

    The hands that had just been tearing, ripping, and smashing scales that were much harder than iron were now mercilessly stretching my cheeks.

    Fortunately, it didn’t take much force.

    At best, they just throw tantrums and make light fuss.

    Not only was Lee Ji-yeon tired from the recent battle, but it also meant that she had no intention of bothering me in the first place.

    “… Of course, it was an urgent situation, so I can’t just argue about it.”

    Lee Ji-yeon let out a deep sigh, as if confirming my prediction.

    Then he stared down at me, his eyes looking like they were looking at a mischievous child, and I felt very uneasy.

    [Gueeek]

    … But it is also true that this time he teleported without any warning.

    In the end, since it was my fault, I didn’t complain and just quietly turned the slap in the face.

    – Paaan…

    […hmm]

    As I was doing that, I could feel many eyes tapping my body.

    I suddenly felt a little ashamed and jumped out of Lee Ji-yeon’s arms.

    “Oops.”

    Ignoring the pitiful sounds coming from behind, I trudged forward and stood in front of the fairies.

    The fairies were different from their shabby appearance from before.

    The leaves are returned to the ground, and instead, they are wearing the cloth clothes I just made for them.

    And then, they all gathered together on camping chairs, bathed in the warm light of a fever magic tool.

    I smiled and bent my knees at the rather adorable sight.

    I adjusted my gaze to the eye level to accommodate the fairies who were looking up.

    “Hmm, a fairy… right?”

    Lee Ji-yeon, who had already calmed down her regrets, approached me from behind as I crouched down.

    He turned his head to Lee Ji-yeon, who was calmly observing the fairies, and asked.

    [Isn’t she a fairy?]

    “Yes… Now that I look closely, it’s clear. They’re exactly like the regular fairies I saw in the forbidden zone.”

    It is already a known fact that several fairies reside on the grounds of the Taesan family.

    This is what Lee Ji-yeon said, who has seen fairies in real life several times, unlike me, so it must be true.

    I also have an intuitive feeling that these children are fairies.

    He shrugged and turned his head.

    I greeted him again with the softest expression possible.

    [hi?]

    [Oh, hello…!]

    A heavy and stiff greeting returned to the light greeting.

    It’s not that the fairies were nervous… but they were staring at me with their eyes sparkling.

    To be honest, it was a burdensome gaze.

    I smiled and shrugged.

    [You don’t have to be so nervous. And now you can say it out loud.]

    “Oh, right.”

    “Loa idiot.”

    “This is it.”

    [Hmm… You’re Roa, right? The kid who asked me for help, right?]

    “Oh, yeah, yeah… That’s right. I asked for help. Ah! But that wasn’t my intention, somehow… ”

    [Hey, stop talking.]

    [See, I’m trying too]

    The yellow-haired fairy, Loa, continued to speak haltingly.

    Was it because it was stuffy? The black-haired fairy… was it Kali? The girl was nagging at me with her voice.

    But since transmission through magic can be eavesdropped on, that nagging echoed in my head too.

    [My name is Lee Ha-yul. Nice to meet you.]

    “Yes… !”

    Rio replied brightly with a bright smile.

    “Your Majesty the King!”

    [Right, that’s right…]

    …wait for a sec.

    [What did you just say?]

    “… Huh?”

    [What did I say?]

    My question made Rio tilt his head.

    “Is this King Lee Ha-yul…?”

    My expression became blank at the unchanged answer.

    Do fairies speak a different language?

    I had such reasonable doubts, but the translation of the power of coordination clearly meant king.

    king.

    Head of state.

    Looking at me?

    “Why are you like that?”

    At my absurd reaction, Rio tilted his head as if he found himself more puzzled.

    Are you really unaware of the problem?

    It was even more absurd because it seemed so true.

    “… Were you royalty?”

    [Are you kidding?]

    “… Ah!”

    Lee Ji-yeon, who was standing behind me, also looked down at me with trembling eyes.

    When I responded in disbelief, Rio, who had been rolling his eyes, suddenly let out an exclamation and pointed his finger at Lee Ji-yeon.

    “And your Majesty!”

    […huh?]

    “… Yes?”

    Not only I, but even Lee Ji-yeon froze at the even more absurd remark than the king’s.
