Grandpa was very excited and raised his voice, but I half-listened to him.

Why did I come to the archipelago?

The starting point was that I wanted to fuck Rasha, but even if it wasn’t for that, I would still be here. Now that the Lord Heojeop has given me a quest to resolve the regrets of the second queen, I have no choice.

Even in the process where the second queen proposed a deal to me, the influence of Heojeop Jusin was present. Because he wanted me to stand on the podium and say shit. Although it was largely my fault for many of the incidents that occurred after that, it is true that the poor master had a hand in it anyway.

…The Lord Heojeop wanted me to see that map. He wanted to find what he left behind.

Just look at the quest window popping out. It’s clear that Lord Heojeop wants me to have that treasure.

What on earth was waiting there that led me here?

Even though he likes to play pranks on me, he still acts like a god when it’s important. Seeing him putting in so much effort, the hidden piece waiting there must be quite something.

What is waiting there? I felt the corners of my mouth raise and waited for Karia and Heishan to finish their conversation.

The two people who were discussing in heated voices began to gather opinions around the time when the adventurers who had been making a fuss in the middle of the store had spread out over the alcohol.

While the employees were clearing up the commotion they had made, muttering that they should please search, Karia, who had organized various contents in her notebook, raised her voice towards me.

“Employer. Did you hear what we talked about so far?”

‘no. ‘I didn’t hear it.’

“Why should I listen to the chatter of old ladies? Of course I didn’t hear it.”

Karia, who had become accustomed to provocations with her Mesugaki skill these days, also looked as if she had been slightly scratched this time.

But I was confident even in the face of that anger. So, the explanation should have been easy for newbies to understand. Since you’re muttering words that only centipedes can understand, you’re thinking about something else.

“Then what on earth were you doing?”

I couldn’t be confident this time. It was hard to say that he was grinning while thinking about the things that the poor master had left behind.

Every man fantasizes about taking down a robber who broke into a bank, but you don’t want other people to see that, do you? It feels similar to that.

But Caria seemed too annoyed to just keep quiet, so I pointed to the curly letters in a corner of the map.

‘I interpreted this.’

“ interpreted strange, unrecognizable letters?”

“…You interpreted these letters? How?”

The saying that it was a language that was still in use even in Grandpa’s time seemed to be true, and even Caria did not know that language.

So, for the first time in a long time, I mentioned the name of Lord Heojeop. It is said that the Lord Himself gave a revelation and revealed the meaning of the writing.

Karia shook her head at the word revelation, a cheat excuse that could be convincing even if the context was ignored.

“The Lord Himself left behind a miracle. It looks like something truly amazing is waiting for you.”

That’s how I hid my stupid delusions and at the same time got the justification that I wasn’t just playing around.

‘so…’

“So, would you mind telling me the conclusion the ladies came to while chatting among themselves? It’s definitely going to be crappy, but it’ll still be useful as a reference.”

“Mmm. First, let me explain from the beginning. If you look at this map…”

I gave up trying to understand the process as Karia once again explained fluently using words only she knew.

okay. What can you do if you understand the process? In any case, you can pass the test as long as you get the correct answers.

“So I think we should search this island first.”

Am I an island? I know roughly everything about the terrain over there. In order to complete Heishan’s quest in the game, you had to search the island like crazy.

But among the regions I know, there was no region that had anything to do with the Lord Heojeop. We can’t deny the possibility that reality is different from what’s in the game, but then the number of cases would be too large.

First, let’s trust and move based on the knowledge in the game. If you fail on the first island, you can change to the next island.

Umm. So, is it right to start by searching for inaccessible areas that you think you can definitely get to but can’t?

‘Karia…’

“An old maid. Is there a map of Cebu on this shit island? Give it to me.”

After receiving guidance from Caria, I looked around the island, trying to recall my vague memories from the game.

I don’t remember the exact route, but I vaguely remember the minimap. If I remember correctly, there must have been something here and here.

okay. that’s right. I still remember people making an uproar, saying it was DLC. It’s definitely here.

After marking the map with a pen, I immediately stood up. What’s the point of wasting time? If something needs to be done, it’s better to do it quickly. I’m busy running around dungeons with the kids during the day, so let’s take care of everything at night.

It’s a pity that I have to see Arthur later, who is probably struggling with shame, but I can see him tomorrow morning.

“Shop right away? Employer?”

‘That’s what I intend to do. it can not?’

“Why. Madame. Are you tired of getting old? Well, they say that if you don’t sleep, you will have more wrinkles.”

“Is there something you can guess? good. Let’s go right away.”

My memory was blurry when I looked at the map, but when I saw the area with my own eyes, I could vaguely remember it. Surely it was okay to go like this here?

“Have you ever been to the archipelago, Lady Aln?”

Heishan was amazed to see me naturally finding my way despite the moonlight being cloudy. They say even adventurers who have stayed in this area for a long time can’t do this.

I didn’t bother to explain what was going on there. I can’t say I’ve memorized the path because I’ve passed it countless times in the game.

Should I say instead? Carl, who was next to me, smiled brightly as if my abilities were his own and told Heishan various stories.

“You have always had an excellent ability to find your way. Even the road outside. Even the path to the dungeon.”

“Wow. Really?”

“Yes. This happened when I was with the young lady in the past.”

As someone who could become a friend to the second queen with a foul temper, Heishan did not ignore Karl’s advice and listened to it.

As I walked along while laughing and listening to the story of my heroism distorted from the perspective of Heo Jeop-gyeon, the place I was aiming for suddenly came into view.

The entrance to a cave on the outskirts of the island. On the outside, it seemed like anyone could enter, but in the game, it was a place that could not be entered.

“Ah. Is it here?”

Heishan frowned as if he had been to this place before. Caria then urged her to explain.

“Do you know about this place?”

“I know. After coming to that archipelago, I searched all the suspicious places.”

“What is this cave? It looks like an ordinary cave?”

“It looks like it.”

Instead of explaining, Heishan showed what was happening with his body. When she tries to enter the cave, she is blocked by something invisible, just like in the game.

Karia tilted her head when she saw him and followed Heishan, but the result was no different. The barrier at the cave entrance was blocking everyone.

“What is it? Is this your first time seeing this format?”

“I also did some research while staying here, but I couldn’t find an answer.”

While the two people who were used to this were contemplating, Carl took out his sword.

“Let’s try to force it through.”

“…Huh? no. hey! For a moment.”

“Haaa!”

Despite Caria’s dissuasion, Carl raised his sword and unleashed sword energy containing his own color.

Quaaaang!

A sword with more power than the one that had destroyed my defenses in the previous sparring was struck at the entrance of the cave, but the barrier was strong.

Karl chewed his lip hard, as if he hadn’t expected this to happen.

“Huh. It’s solid. I don’t think it’s possible for me.”

“Karl If you can’t do it, I can’t either. Hey. Doesn’t this mean the head of the family should come in person?”

“There are two idiots from Aln. Before you say anything to your matriarch, shut up and stand back.”

The two knights quietly backed away from Caria’s threat as she grabbed their foreheads. Fools who thought that everything could be solved with force were powerless in the face of greater power.

“First of all, it seems to be related to divinity. Should I bring someone from there?”

At that moment when Karia was talking to herself non-stop and thinking about it, her grandfather spoke up.

‘why?’

‘Is this a form that your grandfather knows?’

It was clear that he was hiding something, but I didn’t delve into it. It was obvious that if I kept asking questions, I would only become more frustrated.

Instead, as I passed the others and stood in front of the cave, I placed my hand on the place where the barrier was likely to be. Then my hand passed through the air and entered the cave.

The same went for other body parts. The barrier that had refused to attack with all its might took my body for granted.

As I was repeating this back and forth because it was fascinating, Caria looked at me blankly and then opened her mouth.

“Employer. What on earth did you do?”

‘well?’

“Well? Unlike you ugly people, isn’t it okay for me to be cute?”

“You don’t know. for a moment. Let’s try some experiments.”

After that, under Caria’s leadership, I tried various tests, but all of them only solidified the fact that I was the only one who could enter the cave.

Of course, it wasn’t a big problem for me. Since it is clear that this is a place that the Lord God has prepared for me, there is no way that there will be any ordeal that cannot be overcome in this place.

“No! miss! I don’t know what’s inside there, so why would I let her go alone!”

“Why are you barking when you can’t even get over the barrier?♡ If there’s nothing you can do, just guard the entrance. Heojeonggyeon♡”

“But! But!”

While Carl, who was in tears over the factual assault, didn’t know what to do, Caria came to my side and took various items from her subspace pocket. A potion or something. A necklace of protection or something. Things like scrolls imprinted with magic.

“Your employer will probably tell you this, but I’ll tell you just in case. If you think it’s dangerous, stay away. Got it?”

‘Do not worry.’

“Puhaha. It’s so spacious. Why don’t you old maids worry about ways to kidnap their marriage partners?”

Even if Caria doesn’t warn me, I have no intention of taking too much of an adventure. Because this world is not a game and I only have one life. It’s true that I’m hungry for new content, but I’m not crazy enough to risk my life.

I reassured everyone except Karl by waving my hand, created light using sacred magic, and headed inside the cave.

How many times have I walked blindly through a cave with nothing in it? When I arrived at the end of the cave path, I found the entrance to the dungeon located there.

Unlike the entrance to the dungeon created by the evil spirit, I raised the corners of my mouth when I saw that there was not even the slightest sign of sin.

It’s a format that even I, a rotten person, have never seen before. Is this a dungeon created not by an evil god, but by a poor god himself?

Sounds fun. What are you waiting for? The moment I got excited about the new content and opened the door to the dungeon.

“Fuhahaha!”

I burst out laughing without realizing it.

I couldn’t respond to my grandfather’s worried voice. I couldn’t find a moment to speak because my ability to accept the scene unfolding before my eyes was limited.

Phew. Haha.

…

ha.

shit.

I’ve conquered this dungeon before.

I’ve been there before, not in the main part of the game, but when I was trying to conquer various mode dungeons while playing as a demon in Soul Academy.

hey.

You gave me a poor job.

Are you the owner of those damn mods?
