    Chapter 37 – Guild House

    “Wow, you gathered them and came back really fast?”

    “…Huh?”

    Instead of luck, I ground my time into it, and I got annoyed by what Footwiper said.

    “Ahem… Shall we make the equipment then?”

    At my reaction, Footwiper quickly changed the subject and headed to the workshop he owned.

    Footwiper is more serious about LEORE than I thought, owning a house and workshop that are hard to get.

    As soon as I entered the workshop, I was amazed to see Footwiper taking off his Assassin outfit and putting on a blacksmith outfit.

    Anna is the chic and charismatic type, Pink Berry has the feeling of a pure library older sister, Soonchu is the popular college goddess rumored to be the prettiest in school, and Footwiper, with his mask off, has a gentle puppy-like feel.

    But he’s also tall and his body looks pretty good, like someone who used to work out. Of course, you can modify it with Character Customization, but since physical aspects can’t be changed much, it means he’s maintaining that body to some extent in reality.

    “Footwiper, do you like exercising?”

    “I used to do track and field.”

    “You used to do track and field? That’s amazing!”

    “And I even went to the Olympics as a national athlete. Of course, I didn’t win a medal.”

    “You went to the Olympics!? Wow… You’re more normal than I thought…?”

    “Wait a minute, Arangnim, what do you think of me!?”

    “Pervert?”

    “Ack.”

    Honestly, I can’t think of someone who has a nickname with Footwiper attached to my name as a normal person.

    But I was surprised. I thought he was someone who liked exercising, but to think he did track and field, became a national athlete, and even went to the Olympics.

    There’s definitely a reason why he’s number one among the Assassin class—because he has that level of physical skill in reality.

    But why is he like this?

    “I’m not a pervert…”

    “If someone who named themselves Arang’s Footwiper isn’t a pervert, then who is?”

    “I just like feet!”

    “That’s what I’m saying<i>is</i> perverted.”

    “Ah… Could it be…”

    Could it be that he didn’t realize he was a pervert? This person is weirder than I thought.

    Footwiper was talking to me, but his eyes weren’t looking at me, and he was diligently making equipment with the materials in front of him.

    “So it’s not just made with a few taps.”

    “Yes. It’s not made by pressing a button, but you have to process the materials and make the equipment like playing mini-games.”

    “Wow… It sounds annoying just hearing it.”

    “So. Among the life professions, not many people do blacksmithing. That’s why they earn a lot of gold.”

    Footwiper started working hard to make the equipment I would wear.

    I had a lot of questions, but he looked so serious that I couldn’t talk to him.

    He’s really a cool person when you look at him like this…

    Time passed, and the equipment I would wear was completed.

    Each one has an appearance that I don’t like, but that can be replaced with a costume, and right now, I thanked Footwiper for working hard to make it for me.

    “Hehe. It’s nothing! Instead, at the… Regular Meeting…”

    “Yes. Of course.”

    “Thank you!!!”

    “I’m also grateful that you made my equipment. I’ll definitely repay you.”

    “If you need to enhance or make equipment next time, please ask me! Definitely! Especially shoes!”

    “Shoes?”

    “Yes!”

    “Is there something different?”

    “Ah, would you like to take a look at the equipment I made?”

    [Echo Shoes]

    Creator: Arang’s Footwiper

    Maybe it’s because it’s the latest equipment, but the specs were definitely on a different level than dungeon equipment. The options are also quite good.

    As I read through the specs, the last words caught my eye.

    Creator: Arang’s Footwiper

    That’s why he’s doing this.

    “The creator’s name is engraved.”

    “Yes. That’s what makes me proud as a blacksmith!”

    “Thank you. I’ll come back if I need anything else next time.”

    “Yes! Please ask me anytime!”

    ==

    There’s still a lot of time left until the next season update.

    What I need to do now is to grow the guild well. First of all, what I need is a guild house that will make the guild even stronger.

    The problem is that it’s hard to get a house even in LEORE.

    The problem isn’t that it’s hard because I need a lot of money, but that there aren’t many spots.

    It’s ridiculous that it’s hard to get a house even in this game world.

    Usually, house systems in RPG games are designed so that everyone can get them easily, but LEORE was different.

    LEORE is a virtual world and emphasizes realism so much that it’s absurd that the world itself is different from reality.

    It’s just a fantasy world itself.

    So the part where you can get a house isn’t infinite, but finite. So the problem with houses isn’t gold, but the spot.

    So how can you get a house?

    If a user who owns a house doesn’t log in for a month, or if they don’t pay the taxes for having a house for two months, the house is automatically demolished and disappears.

    Then the empty house is sealed, and the seal is randomly released suddenly during a week, and people can live there.

    Originally, you could buy a house as soon as it was demolished, but there were too many people doing cash transactions with it, so they decided on this method.

    Because of that, when a house is demolished and a spot opens up, many users gather in front of the house and wait.

    In front of a house that might not open for a week, to get that house.

    And I’m also diligently going to a house that has appeared. To wait for that.

    Well, of course, it’s not like I’m waiting all week. The important thing is that this place is a house that has already passed 5 days out of a week.

    That means I can get it if I wait for only 2 days.

    On top of that, it’s a large house, so it’s perfect for use as a guild house. That’s why I went to the house with a fluttering heart, located in a large empty lot on the outskirts of the city.

    As soon as I arrived, countless people were waiting for the seal on this house to be released.

    I have to break through all those people and buy the house as soon as the seal is released.

    The number of people alone is over 30.

    I was naturally trying to enter the crowd of people when…

    “Oh!? It’s Arang!”

    One user recognized me and shouted. Starting with that shout, the people around me started looking at me.

    “Wow, so cute… Crazy!”

    I was slightly embarrassed by the people who rushed to me in an instant, but I’ve gotten used to this to some extent while playing LEORE.

    “Hello.”

    “Arangnim, did you come to buy a house too?”

    One user said to me.

    “Yes. I’m trying to get a guild house.”

    “Ah, that’s right. You made a guild this time! I applied this time too, but I failed…”

    “Ah, is that so.”

    People are taking pictures of me diligently and looking at me like they’re looking at their daughter. But even in the midst of that, I was diligently opening the house setting window and spamming the purchase button.

    I have to be careful because it can be released right now.

    But I have to talk to people as much as possible.

    Why? To make them let their guard down. If I talk to them, they’ll definitely pay less attention to buying the house, and then my chances of buying it will increase even more.

    “What are you all going to do if you buy this house?”

    “I’m just going to use it for decoration!”

    “I’m going to use it as a guild house too.”

    I smiled inwardly at the situation that suddenly turned into a fan meeting. Good, everyone, focus on me like this.

    Because I’m going to buy this house.

    While smiling and talking to people, I moved my right hand behind my back and moved it at a speed almost like a macro, pressing the purchase button, turning off the purchase unavailable button, and then going back in and pressing the purchase button again.

    It’s something I couldn’t have imagined in the past, but now my physical skill is top-notch, so I pressed the button without looking at the setting window to buy the house without any problems.

    Two hours passed, and the seal wasn’t released, so I’m starting to get bored.

    People have already lost interest in me, and everyone is just sitting anywhere and diligently pressing their fingers.

    “Arang~”

    While I was wriggling on the floor like a squid and moving my fingers diligently, I heard Soonchu’s voice.

    “It’s still not open?”

    “Yeah. Nothing has happened yet…?”

    “Arang?”

    I sensed it in an instant.

    The feeling of managing the pre-delay and post-delay when using a skill and whether the system recognizes that skill or not opened up.

    I pulled up my senses as much as possible.

    I stopped moving my fingers, put my hand on the purchase button, and waited.

    Entrusting my body to the feeling I felt, the moment the feeling of the system opening up exploded in my brain, I pressed the purchase button with a reaction of less than 0.1 seconds.

    -Tting.

    I smiled at the cheerful notification sound, not the negative alarm sound.

    “Hehehehe.”

    “Ack!? No!”

    “Ah!!! I went to the bathroom!”

    “Wow! It’s suddenly released here!? Oh, come on!”

    “I can’t miss this! Haa… I’m going crazy.”

    I smiled and showed Soonchu the so-called Gyaru Peace that I learned from Pink Berry.

    “Huh. Arang, did you succeed?”

    “Yeah. Who do you think I am! I’m the Munchkin Cat Guild Leader!”
