The inside of the micro-crack that Rahee’s name was used to gain access to was in the shape of a cave.

“Let’s see, if it’s an ultra-small cave field… What was it?”

“It’s either a Lesser Imp or a Slime, you idiot.”

“Ah, that’s right. It did. Then it must be a Lesser Imp.”

“It could be slime.”

“Hey, the slime cave is something that pops up about once in a hundred times, so are you really going to come out now?”

He dismissed Rahee’s concerns.

It wasn’t long before I found it.

Strange traces left on the cave floor.

like… Traces as if something like hair gel had been accidentally dropped on the floor.

I felt it when I saw that.

The owner of this cave is not a Lesser Imp, but a Slime.

“… Damn this is hot.”

“How can you help me?”

“That’s it.”

Among the monsters that appeared in the micro-crack, slime was a rather difficult opponent.

It is used as a raw material for high-end cosmetics that are excellent at removing dead skin cells and scars, and the by-products are sold at a fairly high price, but it is very difficult to obtain them.

To kill it, you have to either destroy the core, which is the size of a 100 won coin, located somewhere inside the body, or blow it up completely with overwhelming firepower, but neither of these are easy tasks from the perspective of beginners who have just entered the industry.

That’s probably why Rahee asked me if I needed help.

Of course, I have no intention of getting help.

If it were a troll or an ogre that came out of a large crack or something like that, wouldn’t they use it in the name of slime?

“The crack I entered without thinking about it happened to be a slime cave. I wonder if I was lucky or bad… .”

“Why? Can you please take off the pochi?”

“Okay, how much does it take to do that?”

Does that mean he can’t even afford a penny to himself?

Rahee, who was standing with her hands on the wall probably because of her ankles, waved her hands with an expression of disinterest.

Anyway, this is why things called gold spoons are not allowed.

They don’t know how precious money is.

As I clicked my tongue and looked at the ceiling using the flashlight I was holding, I was finally able to find it.

The appearance of a slime secretly hiding among the stalactites hanging like icicles, waiting for someone to pass by.

“Why are there slimes always hanging from the ceiling?”

“How do I know that?”

“Isn’t it amazing when you think about it? It doesn’t even have an organ like a brain, but if you look at what it does, it’s quite efficient.”

“Oh my, there’s a Monster Doctor. There was a monster doctor. why? Why not go to graduate school and research? If you do well, you might even get a Nobel Prize?”

“You’d rather just speak evil.”

I understand that you are suddenly pulled into a crack and are angry, but there is something else you can’t say. You are telling me to go to graduate school.

It was a statement that, if heard by 8 million graduate students across the country, would have shocked them, wondering how someone could say such harsh words.

As I bickered with Rahee, I slowly narrowed the distance to my target.

Then, when the distance narrowed to a certain extent, I stepped on the wall, jumped up, and lightly swung my sword… .

Kang!

‘… ok?’

Somehow the taste was very different from what I expected.

What I expected was the feeling of slicing through a well-made pudding.

What is this… A numb feeling as if a stone had been hit.

“Ugh, I can’t even kill a single slime in one shot… So how are you going to pass the licensing test?”

“No, this guy, is something a little strange about this?”

“What can I say, I messed up and hit a rock.”

“No? Something is different.”

“But anyway, slime is slime. Ah, that’s it! Get out of the way!”

As if she wanted to show off her skills at this point, as soon as I stepped aside, Rahee pointed with her index finger at the slime hidden among the stalactites.

It was right after that that the flame was so compressed that it was shot towards the slime with such tremendous heat that it even distorted the surrounding scenery.

“Did you see it? What’s different ㅅㅡ”

“A decent show?”

“… !”

Was it a huge blow because I had to get back the words he had just poured out against me in their entirety?

Rahee made an uncharacteristically stupid expression.

That’s what I did with my eyes wide open and my mouth wide open.

No, even if that’s the case, I can’t believe I just endured that one blow.

Even though she has a weak vagina, I do understand the destructive power she can unleash in an instant.

In this case, there was only one possibility.

“… Is this really a new species?”

Yes, of course there is nothing else to it.

“Have you ever heard of the existence of a slime with that level of physical and fire resistance?”

“You’ve probably heard of it… .”

As I’ve said several times, Rahee’s father is one of the directors of the Hunter Association.

As such, Rahee had no choice but to be knowledgeable about information that had not yet been made public.

Isn’t there something called the trickle-down effect?

But if you don’t even know Rahee… .

“Then that would be correct. New species.”

And if that really is a new species that has never been discovered before… This was a huge deal.

The world beyond the crack is truly vast, and it is said that new species are often discovered when forgotten, but that has also become less common recently.

What more… The new type of slime we discovered seemed very useful.

Even considering that the opponent was a slime with a squishy body, so I swung it with a bit of force from my wrist, it had this much durability and heat resistance.

I’ll have to check the form of the by-product, but if it’s processed into something like armor, wouldn’t everyone be interested in buying it?

Did Rahee come to a similar conclusion as me?

Rahee, who was glaring at the slime hanging from the ceiling with a serious expression, sparked fire once again.

Of course, he endured this time too.

“First of all… Heat resistance seems certain.”

When I see him muttering an excuse and then looking at me, does that mean I should try hitting him again?

It seemed that way, so I quietly breathed energy into the sword.

‘It seems like cutting attacks don’t work… .’

Should I stab it this time?

Thanks to someone brightening up the surroundings, the location of the core has already been determined, so it seems possible to destroy just the core, no more, no less, if you use a method of directly striking the inside using energy.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to give it a try.

That was why I focused my energy on the tip of the sword instead of covering the entire sword like usual.

Then, I pulled my arm back as far as I could and then brought it forward, as if I was shooting a bow.

Tooung!

With a strange touch, as if he had been beating a drum, the thing hanging from the ceiling fell to the floor with a funny thud sound.

At the same time, Rahee’s eyes, who were standing next to her, grew to the size of big drops… There was no time to pay attention to that.

‘What was that just now…’ It feels quite… ‘You mean it was okay?’

I wasn’t talking about the taste of hand.

Rather than a taste… Those were the sensations I felt during the series of condensing my energy onto the tip of my sword and then throwing it at the enemy.

If I repeat it a few more times, I think I’ll get a sense of something… .

Could it be that this is the realization to overcome the wall that Jo-in spoke of?

The reason I once again started using the flashlight to shoot light here and there was because I thought that maybe that was really the case.

“… What are you doing?”

“No, I thought I’d catch a few more like this.”

like that… A sudden slime massacre show began.

*****

I suddenly had a lump sum of money.

In the first place, the reason why I suddenly decided to go for a break was not only because of the task, but also to some extent to replenish the balance that was starting to show its depletion due to half-turning my back on this life.

The 10 million won received in exchange for handing over the by-products obtained by catching the new slime to Lahee’s guild, as well as the destruction compensation that was caught in the crack, were immediately deposited into the account, and the bank account, which was converging towards zero, became swollen as if it had never been so.

“Hey.”

“Wait a minute… Why?”

“Let’s go shopping.”

“Suddenly?”

“You got some free money.”

Originally, I was going to take the kids out to eat with the compensation I received for the destruction.

Now that my wallet has grown, I feel like I can buy not only food but also gifts for my kids.

That’s why I said that… Rahee frowned slightly, probably because she had misunderstood my remarks.

“If you suddenly have a lot of money, don’t just spend it. Spend it sparingly.”

Then, he started nagging me and spewing absurd things at me.

Starting from the saying that once you spend a lot, it is difficult to get it back, to the saying that since the job of a hunter itself is an unstable one where you don’t know when you will retire, you need to get into the habit of saving a certain amount of your income in preparation for emergencies.

It stung my ears, but surprisingly it didn’t feel bad.

I don’t know if it was because of the other person’s emotions contained in the words, but that was the case.

“No, since I have money, I want to buy the kids some gifts.”

“Ah, I… again. .”

“For boys, soccer shoes and a soccer ball are enough, so it doesn’t matter, but for girls, I don’t know much.”

“So you want me to choose?”

“What… Right, right?”

Of course, Rahee may be like an old lady to kids these days, but she’s still better than me, a man.

So I cautiously asked for help, and Rahee, who seemed to think for a moment, quickly smiled and nodded.

With Rahee’s help, I packed up the things I bought and arrived at the orphanage…

“Ah, um…”

“By the way, who is the person next to you? Maybe ㅡ”

girl friend?
