There are some corrections at the end of the previous episode. Please check!

As a bonus, I’ll show you a cute 20 million won illustration.

One

Monsters are graded according to their ‘strength’, which makes them difficult to deal with, but ‘how much damage they inflict’ is also included in the grade evaluation.

In the past, the grade 2 ‘Sandworm’ that destroyed my store was truly a disaster.

An ignorant monster that crawls on the ground, chews concrete, and accumulates the remaining nutrients to grow.

But in the end, this is a guy I’ve dealt with once.

Let’s say that half a year has passed and that guy’s air attack begins once again, and I—

“Bwaaeaeaeaeak! I’m not going out! I can never leave!”

“President, didn’t you hear the broadcast?! It’s level 1! The city is on the verge of destruction!

Even if this monster is quiet now, if it starts moving in earnest, sinkholes will form around you! Then everything is useless─”

“I know! I’m still not going out! How can I rebuild my store and leave it like this?”

“You can’t be stubborn. If you live, you can do more business!”

“I hate it, I hate it! Never leave!

No matter how hard the staff pulls, I hold on to the wall.

Even though he was spouting off famous remarks just now, he has degenerated into an adult.

I couldn’t help it.

Because when this business ends, I will be ruined.

If the building collapses like this, they will end up on deep-sea fishing boats full of debt.

I invested so much money just to get water, but to have even my third business go to waste, it feels like a death sentence.

This was my third business, which I managed to set up by squeezing out debt, so I didn’t take out monster insurance this time either.

In fact, even if you take out insurance, you will not be able to receive proper money in such a large-scale case where the entire city is encroached upon, as the insurance company is on the way to failure.

At that time, the ‘Sandworm’ was running through half of the G area and escaped under heavy fire from the S-classes that arrived late. If it had become much stronger, it would not have been able to even save the massage bed.

It is literally despair itself from the perspective of a single citizen.

“Now, you are nice. Boss.”

“Keuheuk… !”

I tried to stay in the store until the end, but it was wasting so much time that even Karen gave up her stubbornness for fear of missing the golden time.

“Ah!”

When I came out dejected, I was already greeted by Hanbyeol, wearing an apron.

The customer seemed to have run away long ago and was shaking alone.

“Jiwoo… .”

“Sister Hanbyeol… .”

“We’re screwed.”

“(nod)!”

All emotions were shared by powerless small business owners just by exchanging glances.

As the two sit together while Karen looks out of the way, the final apocalyptic atmosphere of accepting disaster is created.

at that time,

“Ha, ha… Arrived.”

“… … ! Juri!”

B-class ‘tomboy’ Kwak Joo-ri

When my name was called, I wiped my sweat as if I had rushed over.

The piercings in my ears sparkled as I shook my head.

“What’s going on, you’re here at a time like this… .”

“That’s because I’m a hero, so I came to stop it.”

“Makdani, against a level 1?!”

Grade B blocks Grade 1.

When Juri is shocked by the idea of hitting a rock with an egg, she grumbles grumpily.

“Ah, it’s still B level, but it was recently reviewed and will soon be promoted to A level!?

At least the store should be protected. Since this is Jiwoo’s store, I will protect it at all costs until the end… .”

Her cheeks turn red as if she was embarrassed by the last line, ‘I will protect you.’

At this point, he realizes that Juri was worried and came to help him.

When an emergency situation occurred where the city was on the verge of disappearing, he came running to me, probably because he remembered me, with whom I had built up a close relationship.

“Juri… … .”

“Oh, don’t say anything! Because I’m embarrassed.”

I was so happy that I was touched by the wonderful attitude of a hero.

Those lines brought back my lost spirit.

“No. Juri, let’s evacuate together.”

“Giving up the store?”

“The store is important, but the other person is first class, and buying comes first.

If you’re an adult, you should know how to stop feeling regretful.”

“… … You’re holding my arm too tightly for something like that?”

Oops, I stopped watching… .

But as we talked, more people started coming in.

“Master, we have come to your rescue urgently.”

“Mr. Radia!”

Other B- and C-class heroes, including Mr. Radia.

Familiar customers who had used my store somehow flocked to my store.

even,

“Hello Jiwoo♥”

“Hayoung sister!”

Ha-young Son, the first-generation hero legend ‘Iron Stake’.

“Haha, this is an untimely emergency.”

“Mr. Seohan!”

Even Mr. Seohan, ranked 1st in S class.

Heroes flocked in as if everyone was on standby.

Perhaps they gathered after receiving a call from the association, and a hero solidarity was formed on the spot.

“Everyone is so fast… So, the Hero Association gathered together for the E Area!?”

I admire the unity of heroes.

However, the gathered heroes each make their own sounds.

-Of course!

-uh… … Not like that! hmm!

-No, honestly, it would be difficult if Jiwoo’s store disappeared… .

-No, I came to repay the Master’s favor.

-I need to get a lot of energy from Jiwoo again♥

-Well~ How should I explain this?

In places where people gather together, a lot of noise comes out.

I feel like a scary remark passed me by in the middle of the conversation, but I am grateful for the willingness to help since I am on fire.

Various urgently formed regiments, ranging from C to S.

Of course, there were two leaders who would lead this union.

Past S rank Hayoung and current S rank 1st Seohan.

The two people seem to be aware of each other’s presence and immediately start a meeting.

“Hmm… I knew it would be dangerous because it was level 1, but wouldn’t the situation be over if I got to level 1 in S level?”

“This is Mr. Seductress, Mr. Seductress.

But unfortunately, this is an alter ego. There are so many restrictions that even if we fight, I don’t think I can be of much help.”

“? Then the main body can run right away, right? What on earth are the other S-classes doing?”

“Well, the main building is in an emergency right now… .”

“Wow, everyone is missing… They say the city is collapsing. Is there ever a time more urgent than now?”

“Hahaha.”

It’s unfortunate, but Mr. Seohan must have self-immolated.

Somehow, today I felt like I lost strength from the sound of laughter.

Anyway, in this case, the leader who would lead the eradication method was Senior Son Ha-young.

Although he retired a long time ago, when a crisis arises, he stands in front of his juniors as if he is willing to step up.

“Okay then, even though I retired a long time ago, I will lead the field. Everyone has no complaints, right?”

-Of course, if the ‘temptress’ steps forward!

-If you’re with ‘temptress’, level 1 won’t be a problem, right?!

-Wow! There is a chance! Let us protect Area E!

-Oooo- Let’s protect it!

An emergency hero alliance formed to boost morale due to the enormous presence of the legendary Son Ha-young.

Kugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu.

“Wooo!!!”

We all raised our hands together, and just then an enemy jumped out in front of us.

The appearance of a grade 1 monster, a ‘sandworm with a hugely enlarged mouth’, was revealed.

The opponent reminds me of a huge building rising into the sky.

When it roared stiffly toward the sky, it even blocked the sun that was trying to reach midheaven.

Its size is completely incomparable to before, and it opens its mouth wide towards the sky, showing off its massive size.

In addition to the menacing howl, I wonder what on earth it was picking up and eating, and just looking at its hard shell that doesn’t seem to have anything stuck in it, I’m already dizzy.

-… … .

The heroes who had been shouting until just now had become dejected.

When the normal thought of how to deal with such a monster crossed my mind, no one but Hayoung came forward.

“Afterwards, I feel rewarded for carrying it in my arms every day♡”

thud! thud! thud!

As he shook his long flowing hair from side to side, nine huge piles fell as if they were being driven into the concrete.

The growing hair slowly wraps around the round handle of the stake, fastens it tightly, and rises into the sky.

Using an iron stake as a support, the hair is stretched straight up, then the five stakes excluding the four stakes fixed to the floor are spread out like wings.

Finally, he opens his red eyes and smiles.

“1st grade prey, it must be fun for the first time in a while!”

I never thought I would actually see it.

The hero name ‘Iron Stake’ was given to him because he used a weapon made from the skin of a special grade monster, ‘Seed’, in the past.

Sister Hayoung, who splendidly spread out nine iron stakes with her hair, looked like a nine-tailed fox with nine tails.

“Cooo!!!”

The sandworm seems to be aware of this huge presence, as it rushes in, smashing the surrounding buildings like crackers.

It’s a murder tank that I wonder how I can stop, but if it passes by, I die.

Kaaaang!

“Uhhh♡”

However, Hayoung did it with ease.

To prevent his past reputation from fading, he stopped the rampaging Grade 1 Sandworm by driving a stake into the huge mouth of that ignorant man.

“It is called the five elements of piles with different properties,”

Coo coo coo… !

The huge mouth is sealed, but the inertia seems to be unable to handle the remaining ignorant power, and the rooted iron stake is pushed back a little.

Nevertheless, they never allowed access to the store.

“Hmm~ As expected, the rumors are not exaggerated. At this time, I should be willing to help.”

Mr. Seohan, the alter ego, picked up the fan! As I open it, a small drizzle falls from the sky.

Very small dark clouds made the skin surface soggy,

Kwazijic!

“Quooo!!!”

Lightning striking brilliantly from the sky.

The drizzle seems to have been an underpinning to increase efficiency by increasing conductivity. As if it were natural, I summoned lightning as an alter ego.

-Wow…

The ability of S-class monsters to hunt down movie-like monsters.

This affects the morale of other heroes.

-good!

-Let us fight too!

Each hero responds in their own way against a huge first-class opponent.

I only used my fists, but perhaps my speed was what helped me climb up the building, grab my gun, and search for the sandworm’s eyes.

Other than that, everyone stuck under their respective sandworms and blocked them like a tug of war.

“Inhale!”

Kang!

‘Wow?!’

In particular, Mr. Radia used his great sword to block the sandworm every time it violently shook its body.

I heard it was definitely C-rank, but I was amazed as to where such strong power came from.

“Sex, sex… Endless images of sex with the master!”

Well, I guess I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear it.

Anyway, everyone’s efforts came together in an instant.

We all stopped the sandworms together. This level 1 monster that was trying to destroy the city was sealed away helplessly.

However, the opponent only stopped the riot.

“Qu… I can’t take the position.

Even if it makes a mess, it would be easy if it were just hunting… !”

Ha-yeong said in the encyclopedia that she is much stronger against humanoids.

It may be overwhelming to deal with a large monster and worry about damage around you, so the best thing to do is just block its movements.

“Queee!”

If things continued like this, it was clear that they would be pushed aside by the monster with a lot of physical strength.

We all worked hard together, but simply sealing the rampage was not enough to win the match.

Strong firepower is needed to win the game without taking any damage.

A moment when overwhelming strength is needed.

“… … Why are so many people gathered around Jiwoo before I come?”

“Lin!”

A ‘pole-free’ Byeok-rin who cannot be controlled even by the association.

My childhood friend and humanity’s ultimate weapon was looking down from the top of the building, wearing a cheongsam with a red dragon ascending to heaven.
