No, when I thought about it again, it seemed like I had gotten a little stronger.

I took a moment to estimate the weight of the baton.

It definitely seemed heavier than the last time I used it.

It was clear that he had probably gained a few more kg.

And I don’t know what the hair growth bat is talking about…

“Hmm…”

I stroked the angled part of the bat with my finger.

It was clear that if I hit it with this, I would be able to break its head more easily.

Personally, I thought this shape was okay.

It looks like a prop, so it doesn’t seem intimidating, but whatever.

If there was a little blood on it, the feeling of intimidation would quickly return, so it didn’t matter.

Gong Gong-seul saw me touching the baton, and only then did he look relieved.

He was probably worried about what would happen if I didn’t like it.

Honestly, I had no complaints. I was in no position to blame anything.

I came here without even saying that I would go there, thinking that everything was roughly made.

Even if the gift was unfinished, I planned to just move on.

But it’s a different story if you receive such a nice gift.

“Is there anything you want or order?”

“Yes? It has to be there… ”

“Then do it. I will save you if I can.”

“Uh… ”

Gong Gong Seul gave a questioning look as if he could do that.

I didn’t know what they wanted me to do, but it didn’t matter.

So, as I kept saying it was okay, Gong Gong-seul slowly took a deep breath.

He then took out something metal-like from his front pocket and began to explain.

“This is the count’s bone.”

“… Bones?”

“Yes. Some varieties eat metal and digest it in their bodies to form bones.”

“Ah, the blade of Buddha?”

“It’s roughly similar. However, the difference is that it is not calcium, but metal…”

“Ah… ”

I could roughly understand it.

I saw an explanation that there was a similar variant in the original work.

So it seemed that blacksmiths hunted such variants and obtained good quality iron.

But I didn’t know that I would already know it.

I nodded slowly and asked the question that came to mind.

“Count’s blade was white?”

“Ah, Siwoo explained that. It is said that this count changed his bones into metal during the fable process.”

“Then won’t you die?”

“Well, I guess it didn’t matter since they were zombies.”

“Ah. Then it looks like the remaining calcium was used there.”

Well, since they are zombies, it was right to be different from ordinary creatures.

That’s why there’s a huge mouth on the ship.

The same goes for tentacles coming out and dragging people away.

It is a variant called count that is clearly very different from common sense.

I said, gathering my thoughts.

“So you’re saying that we just need to roughly catch these variants?”

“Yes. Please do me a favor.”

“Okay, I’m going on a business trip anyway. I’ll grab whatever I see!”

“Thank you.”

Honestly, Gong Goseul was the person who saved my life once.

And he was also the one who gave me one meal each day.

If it was just asking me to catch one zombie, I could do it without any pressure.

But, by the way.

I said with a mischievous smile.

“When did you become friends with Siwoo?”

“… Ah.”

Gong Gong Seul’s face turned pale.

I thought it was really cute and enjoyed seeing it.

Honestly, I didn’t think something like this existed.

What can I say? There was a strong sense of elitism.

But this reaction was different, just like a girl who discovered her first love.

“Well, it’s not like there’s no possibility at all anyway. I will support you.”

“Thank you… ”

In the original work, Kang Si-woo’s wedding was grand.

But this time, it seemed like it would be several times more grand than that.

I guess swordsmanship wasn’t the only thing I learned while returning.

Honestly, no matter how many people there were, it seemed like no one would present a different opinion to Kang Si-woo.

That’s why Kang Si-woo is capable and such a cool person that even men fall in love with him.

… I think it will be okay as long as you refrain from unconsciously unleashing your magic.

That wasn’t my concern, so I decided to move on.

“So, how can’t there be text on this baton?”

“Ah, that… Do you like it?”

“Yes, MK.2. Isn’t it kind of cool?”

“The naming method is unique… Are you doing it?”

I avoided Gong Gong-seul’s gaze.

I thought the Beopbong MK.2 was a bit unique.

But I couldn’t give up on my dream, so I handed her the baton.

Fortunately, the engraving process didn’t seem to take long.

And after about 10 minutes, Gong Gong-seul came back with a baton.

I lightly swung the baton and then touched the letters engraved on the handle.

“Then it looks like it’s done, so I’ll go.”

“Are you going already?”

“Yes, well… I have to prepare for a business trip… There’s a lot to do.”

“Then I have no choice. Take care.”

Gong Goseul escorted me to the entrance of the hardware store.

I caught the name and location of the hardware store.

It seemed that if I went to Jinju, I would probably overwork the baton in one way or another.

Something worse than the battle with the count could have happened.

Now I might have to deal with a real gun.

And if the baton gets damaged like that, you’ll have to come back to this hardware store to get it fixed.

So I thought it would be a good idea to memorize the route.

Fortunately, I was able to memorize the directions easily.

There were a lot of things to remember around me, and perhaps because I walked there in person, they seemed to be imprinted in my mind quickly.

I slowly returned to campus.

After saying hello to the guard I met earlier, I also greeted the students who were changing shifts after completing their patrol.

Now, it was safe to say that no one on campus knew me.

Knowing that it was Yeji Lee just by looking at her back gave me a strange feeling.

You really feel like you’ve become a celebrity.

So when I returned to the faculty dormitory, it actually felt closer to running.

It really wasn’t a big deal, but I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t bear it.

“I’m back.”

I opened the door and entered the dorm.

Noh Chang-hoon was packing his military uniform inside.

I could tell who it was without even looking at it.

“It’s something I can use, right?”

“Yes.”

“What’s in it?”

“First of all, clothes. And about soap and shampoo.”

“Can I wash it?”

“Wash up and go. We will also provide plenty of wet tissues.”

I was planning on taking a shower anyway.

No matter how difficult the situation is, we must maintain the minimum level of hygiene.

And my goal was not to survive in Jinju.

The goal was to gather information about what was happening there.

Of course, I was going to meet people, and the most important thing was to look good.

“Well, if it were me, I would get points even if I washed less.”

“I’m proud of it, yes.”

“I’m proud of it. Let’s see.”

I squatted down next to Noh Chang-hoon.

You need to know where something is so you can take it out and use it later.

But the bag was very strange. It was extremely large and had a lot of pockets.

It looked like about four ordinary backpacks had been put together.

Noh Chang-hoon seemed to have noticed my gaze and said with a grin.

“It’s a hiking bag. This is the bag you use to climb the Himalayas or Everest.”

“Somehow… It was big.”

“Can’t carry it?”

“Can’t I carry it?”

“That can’t be possible.”

“Hmm.”

It seemed like there was more to take care of than I thought.

There was a variety of things in the bag, from various clothes to daily necessities.

It was amazing to see how every pocket was used frugally.

Thanks to this, I had a lot to memorize.

This pocket contains feminine products.

That pocket looked like it had a plastic bag in it.

As I was putting that information into my head, I asked one question.

“Changhoon, did you like traveling?”

“I tend to do this often. Riding a bicycle.”

“Bicycle?”

“There is nothing as charming as running quietly and wearing a hat.”

“Want to ride with me later?”

“Huh?”

Noh Chang-hoon looked at me as if he was surprised.

Then he chuckled and nodded.

I stayed quiet for a moment and then interrogated Noh Chang-hoon.

I felt like I needed to find out why he was looking at me in surprise and laughing.

“Well, I thought you would make a joke like that again.”

“What, I didn’t think of that. Changhoon, you… ?”

“Get teased by your friends all the time. Don’t you think about it?”

Noh Chang-hoon grumbled while organizing his bag.

Well, I said I graduated from a boys’ high school.

It seemed strange not to be teased with that name.

I slowly helped organize my bag and opened my mouth.

“Your friends… Are you alive?”

Looking at this guy’s personality, it seemed like he would get punched if he felt like he had crossed a line.

And if you throw a punch at something this big, you’ll faint.

Fortunately, Noh Chang-hoon smiled and said that everyone was alive.

“I don’t think I’m in a vegetable state.”

“The kids were strong. good. Everything has been sorted out.”

“What, there’s still a lot left?”

“We will put food and water in the empty space later.”

“Aha?”

“Choose what you want to eat.”

Noh Chang-hoon said as he took his bag to the corner of the dorm and placed it there.

And quickly added:

“But don’t say just any food.”

“Did you know how to say things like chicken or pizza?”

“I thought that might be the case.”

“It’s unfair, a little. So when can I leave?”

I jumped onto the bed.

Seeing them packing their bags by hand like that, it seemed like they would leave today or tomorrow.

But Noh Chang-hoon shook his head and opened one hand.

“5 days later.”

“En? 5 days?”

“Because you have to be away from campus for a long time, it is consideration for you to do whatever you want.”

“Ah.”

“I’ll let you two be alone for a while, so tell me if there’s anything you want to do. They said they would give me what I needed.”

“Then, Changhun. Shall we watch cartoons? You’ve been doing everything else, but you haven’t been watching cartoons much.”

Noh Chang-hoon chuckled.

“Good.”

“Okay, I’ll have to ask for it later.”

I roughly placed the baton on the bed and closed my eyes.

For now, I just wanted to sit around and not think about anything.
