Cool coffee.

And Su-jin Jeong, who is eagerly stuffing a delicious sandwich into her mouth.

It’s amazing that people can eat food like that, even though it makes you worry about losing weight.

That’s right, I’m already stuffing 10 sandwiches into my mouth.

Does that all fit inside a person’s stomach?

I heard that when you watch people eating mukbang, your stomach expands a lot.

It’s just amazing.

When I saw her eating intently, I took a bite of the sandwich.

“It’s delicious.”

It’s delicious for a sandwich sold at a coffee shop.

Personally, the sandwiches my father makes suit my taste the best, so I don’t buy them anywhere else.

The sandwiches here feel like a mixture of half the sandwiches sold in the market and half the sandwiches your father makes.

I don’t know how to express this…

Anyway, it’s delicious.

“I enjoyed it…”

While I was lost in thought after taking a bite, I consumed three more sandwiches, bringing my total to 13.

I haven’t even eaten one yet.

I can’t leave it behind, right?

Let’s eat slowly.

“Do women basically eat this much?”

“Only awakened people do that. In your case, Yujun, there isn’t much difference in the amount you eat compared to the awakening message, right?”

“Hmm. It doesn’t seem like there’s much of a difference.”

In my case, I couldn’t answer because there was no change in my memory before the change in common sense.

Because I don’t know how much I ate before the change.

Still, wouldn’t it be much different from now?

Satisfaction is a physical factor, not a mental factor.

For your information, it seems that other people’s memories before the change in common sense have all been changed.

The change in common sense occurred around February, but other people’s memories of what happened before February have all changed as well.

“It’s probably because men’s magical power does not increase significantly even when awakened.”

“Aha… Is it the difference in horsepower… Then Sehee must eat a lot, right?”

“Hehe.”

“You should answer without smiling.”

“Secret.”

Sehee didn’t tell me.

The only answer was the five plastic sandwiches on the table.

He didn’t eat that much when he was with me.

Should I go home and eat more?

“Sehee. It’s okay to eat a lot without being pretentious in front of me.”

“…I heard that men don’t like to see women eating a lot?”

“Who said that?”

“I saw it on the internet.”

I saw it on the internet.

If you want to ask, you can ask me, my childhood friend and boyfriend.

“I don’t know about other people, but at least not me.”

“I see…”

“So just eat comfortably. Should I buy a sandwich?”

“No. I’ll buy it.”

Even though I ate five, I’m still hungry?

Sehee smiled brightly, got up, and headed to the counter.

After Sehee came back and finished eating.

This time we decided to have a serious conversation.

First of all, we decided to introduce ourselves first.

We know about the other person, but the other person doesn’t know anything about us, right?

It shouldn’t be like that.

You must know each other’s identities to have a refreshing conversation.

“I am Yoo Se-hee, a D-class hunter belonging to the Hwanwoong Guild.”

“This is Seong Yu-jun, an F-class hunter and supporter who also belongs to the Hwanwoong Guild.”

“This is Jeong Soo-jin, an S-class hunter who belongs to the Hwarang Guild.”

As we introduced ourselves, Sujin Jeong also introduced herself.

Since it was a self-introduction that the majority of people in Korea knew, there was no need.

“He was wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a hat to hide his appearance, so I asked him to accompany me. You know why that is, right?”

“Yes…”

Jeong Soo-jin bowed her head slightly.

It seemed like he knew what he had done wrong.

She is a member of another guild from another union.

Although it is smaller than the Hwanwoong guild, it is a member of the Hwarang guild, a huge guild called the Big 5.

The fact that such a person hides himself behind a mask, sunglasses, and a hat is something that the Hwanwoong Guild should be wary of.

Sehee tried to contact the guild headquarters right away, but after noticing that her condition was a little strange, they put the situation on hold for a while.

“If it’s okay, may I know why you were hiding?”

“Actually…”

She confessed without hesitation.

He opened his heart to those of us who bought him lots of sandwiches.

“I stopped by Seoul for a while and lost my wallet… I was waiting in line at the free exchange to get money for transportation…”

“Yes?”

“There is one thing I can exchange money for right now…”

She took a small rock out of her pocket and showed it to me.

[This is a C-class accessory, Sepilea Ring.]

[This is a top-level ring dropped by C-level or higher boss monsters. When you wear it, you can immediately fall into a deep sleep.]

[Recently, it was sold for $20,000 on the exchange.]

In other words, it was something that an insomnia patient would roll their eyes and run towards.

It’s a very meaningless item for hunter activities.

But doesn’t the fact that she has something like that mean she can’t sleep?

How are you going to sleep if you sell it now?

“Put it away for now. We will borrow the cost of the car from Hwanwoong Guild.”

“I…is this really true? Thank you!”

“But after listening to it, I find it a little strange. Since you’re an S-class hunter, shouldn’t you just call the guild and ask them to come pick you up?”

that’s right.

I also thought it was a bit strange.

There are only nine S-class hunters in Korea.

Among the Big 5 guilds, S-class hunters are so rare that some guilds do not have S-class hunters.

There are three S-class hunters in our guild…

In any case, being an S-class hunter has ridiculous power.

Even if you collect it from the gallery guild, it’s not enough, so you lose your wallet and sell your valuable items on the exchange?

Isn’t that a bit strange?

No, there is no need for that.

She is an S-class hunter, so she can earn enough money to pay for her fare by going into a suitable dungeon and mining just one magic stone.

If you just come in and out for 10 minutes, you’ll earn 100,000 won, right?

But why?

“…”

Unlike before, she kept her mouth shut.

Why can’t I speak?

Or are you not doing it?

The more you do that, the more curious you become about the reason.

“There is another reason why I can’t tell the guild members to come pick me up… I don’t think I can tell you that because it’s confidential.”

“That can’t be helped. Then what about the latter?”

“Actually, my weapon is not in a usable condition right now.”

She lifted the weapon in her hand and placed it on the table.

The condition was so serious that it was feared that it would be destroyed at any moment.

“I saw earlier that there was only 0.1% durability left.”

“Yes!? 0…0.1%!?”

Oh, should I not say this?

It seems that the person concerned does not know how much durability is left.

Well, it can’t be helped.

The durability I am aware of is simply quantified by EX-class gacha skills that determine the state of the weapon.

She hugged her weapon and buried her face.

What if it gets destroyed due to low durability?

“Uh…what should I do…!? Should I send it in for repairs right away!? It was determined that there was no place that could repair it… This is a very precious thing…”

I mentioned durability for no reason and ended up panicking.

I didn’t mean to say it carelessly either.

No, but shouldn’t the owner know how much durability his weapon has left?

Tsk.

I can’t help it.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea to make a debt to an S-class hunter.

I took out a card from the deck case.

This is a card that allows you to enter the ‘Lost Garden’ where you can obtain ‘Sacred Tree Fruit’, which can restore the durability of the series.

“If this weapon is destroyed, I will have the honor of seeing the World Tree…!!”

“Me. Sujin? There is no way to cure the durability of that weapon.”

“Well…what do you mean? Among Korea’s famous weapon makers, not a single one has found a way…!”

“Of course, that’s right. There is a separate way to restore the durability of that weapon.”

I handed out my ticket to the Lost Garden.

Sujin Jeong stuck her head out and looked at the card.

“This is…?”

“It’s an admission ticket to the Lost Garden. If you enter here, you will be able to obtain the Divine Tree Fruit, which can restore the durability of the World Tree weapon series.”

“I…really!?”

This time I woke up suddenly.

It seems incredible.

It’s not that I don’t understand having doubts.

From Jeong Soo-jin’s perspective, it would feel like the situation is being too self-serving.

Someone from the Hwanwoong guild buys you food, lends you money, and even gives you a ticket to get an item that can restore weapon durability?

Why do you get so much when you’re not a warrior on his way to defeat the devil?

“Why… do you do this to me…”

He looked at me warily.

He’s glaring at me as if it’s hard to believe right now.

It’s okay to believe it.

I’m not one to lie.

Even if you joke around a bit.

“If you don’t like it, there’s nothing we can do. Take it back…”

“Oh…no! I never said no! thank you! Thank you!”

Swish!

He snatched the card from the table and lowered his head repeatedly.

Ah, but…

I don’t have a weapon, so is it okay to send him to the Lost Garden alone?

What if I go in alone and encounter a monster?

Should we go in together?
