Chapter 10: Is this difficult?

——- WaHeon Gallery ——–

Title) WaHeon Reality Mode new route just dropped lol

Man, I was just watching this newbie streamer Haerang’s broadcast

And a completely new route I’ve never seen before appeared lololol

From the tutorial, she picked the greatsword, which no one uses in Reality Mode, and then took down both Domagirius.

Then, as soon as she arrived at the base, Dante appeared lololol

This is already absurd, but then the streamer b*stard immediately hits Dante with a rude surprise attack, asking how he can see without eyes lololol

She said she’s a WaHeon newbie

Indeed, great things are done by newbies

(Image of Domagirius giving a thumbs up)

-: The rude surprise attack is hilarious lol.

-: That was a route branch?

-: Isn’t it fake?

-: No no, I saw it too, it’s real.

-: Wait, there was a new route left?

-: Isn’t it a Reality Mode exclusive route?

-: Hahahaha, that seems right.

-: In the first place, two Domagirius don’t even appear if it’s not Reality Mode lol.

-: Then we won’t be able to see it lol.

-: Was it even possible to catch Domagirius during the tutorial?

-: FR, that’s creepy. She caught Domagirius right from the start in Reality Mode? Isn’t running away the standard?

-: Yeah, that’s standard, she’s the weird one.

-: And Dante’s appearance timing is usually much later, isn’t it?

-: He does appear mid-game sometimes. Though he just says a word or two and disappears.

-: I’m resetting right now and trying that again.

-: Can I watch that on stream?

-: Yeah, she’s streaming now.

-: Here’s the link (Link)

-: (Emote of a woman showering flowers and saying thank you)

-: (Emote of a woman showering flowers and saying thank you) Hurry up and go watch.

Changing the in-game time from night to morning was easy.

Just lie down on the bed, and it’s done.

After adjusting the time like that, I was heading to the blacksmith with Reina.

Just then.

-Is this Haerang’s room, the one who pioneered a new route?

-Hae-hi!

-Great things are done by newbies!!

-What are you doing now?

-Wow, Ppatppat-i 2.

From the middle of the stream, the number of viewers rapidly increased, and the chat window scrolled frantically.

Just as I was thinking, ‘Where did all these people come from this time?’—

I remembered the chat from earlier saying the gallery was in an uproar.

‘It seems they came from over there.’

I gave a light wave, greeting the new viewers.

“Paah. A lot of you are suddenly joining? There was a chat earlier saying the gallery was going crazy, did you perhaps come from there?”

-Yes, that’s right.

-Yeah yeah yeah, I came from there too.

-I heard a new route came out, so I came because I was curious!

-But did you really catch two Domagirius?

“Domagirius?”

-Talking about the Domagirius.

‘I wondered what they were talking about, but it was them, huh.’

It seemed they were calling them “Doma” by taking the first two syllables for convenience.

“Ah, those lizard fellows? Yes, that’s right.”

-That’s really insane…

-FR, how did you do it?

[Capybara-nim has donated 1,000 won.]
[Could you perhaps tell us how you caught those Domagirius fellows?]

“Capybara-nim, thank you for the 1,000 won donation. How did I catch them? You just have to dodge all their attacks and hit them hard when you attack.”

-No, I mean, how did you do that? Hahahahaha.

-Dodge and hit, noted…

-What is this, the Bob Ross of gaming? Lol.

-It’s that easy, huh?

-But she’s right though lol.

-Gonna go try it right now.

-He’ll be back soon.

-FR lol.

[Capybara-nim has donated 10,000 won.]
[Can’t you be a bit more specific?]

Specific.

‘There’s nothing more to explain, that’s all there is to it… What should I do?’

They were even donating money, so I couldn’t just not explain.

Eventually, I started explaining slowly, with the feeling of teaching a complete newbie.

“Ah, Capybara-nim, thank you for the 10,000 won donation. Then I’ll explain slowly from the beginning. The Domagirius, I mean, the Doma fellows, if you look closely, they’re monsters based on lizards, right?”

-Yeah.

-Yep!!

-Right, they look like enlarged lizards.

“Creatures like that have somewhat limited movements, you know? At best, they bite with their mouths or hit with their tails. Or they just bump into you using their size?”

-It’s like that in Baby Mode too.

-The pattern itself is easy.

-Sometimes they vomit, but that’s a gimmick.

“Ah, there was a gimmick like that? I didn’t know. Anyway, so if you look closely at their feet, you can predict how they’re planning to move, right? You just have to dodge based on that.”

‘This should be enough explanation, right?’

Satisfied with my explanation, I couldn’t help but nod.

No matter how I thought about it, it was a completely newbie-friendly explanation.

-?

-??

-Hahahahaha, no, you can tell just by looking at that?

-Ah, I see!

-Not other motions, but just by their feet? Is that possible?

-Sh*t, it’s not like the old third-person view, how do you even figure that out in first-person? Lol.

-FR lol.

-Ah, this is Haerang-sensei’s 500-point vision!! Just accept it!!

-What’s this 500 points thing again?

-Sigh, this is why new guys are (shakes head).

-Welcome, newbie!!

-It’s only been two days, though lol.

-Go watch again from yesterday’s broadcast.

-What is it, really, tell me.

-You wouldn’t believe it even if I told you, just go watch.

-FR lol.

Even after hearing my explanation, reactions of disbelief continued.

‘Is this difficult?’

Just as I was about to open my mouth, thinking I might have to explain in more detail—

“Newbie, we’re here.”

Reina’s voice from ahead made me swallow my words.

“I’ll explain the rest later.”

-Yep.

-Okay.

-Understood.

After briefly explaining the situation to the viewers, I turned my head.

Before my eyes, a blacksmith shop, sprawling expansively around a giant furnace, unfolded with a wave of heat.

Even though I hadn’t entered yet, the intense heat washed over my face.

Clang!

“Hold that properly!!”

Clang!

“You old geezer!! Your hands are idle right now!!! Move quickly!!”

Inside, the sound of hammers striking iron and shouting voices mingled, spreading like an echo.

The only operating blacksmith in the 1st Outpost.

It was said that all sorts of materials collected by Hunters were reborn as weapons here.

-Kya, this place is always so romantic.

-A space for manly men.

“Shall we go in?”

I nodded at Reina’s question.

“Yes.”

Following her into the blacksmith shop.

Fwoosh-

I felt a heat even more intense than before.

I couldn’t help but squint slightly at the heat.

“Oh, Reina! Long time no see!!”

With a hearty voice, muscular, bearded men began to appear from all directions.

“What?! Reina’s back?”

“Where, where?”

“Good iron?! Did you bring it?!”

“Booze!!”

Seeing that, Reina placed a hand on her forehead.

“Long time no see. I brought everything you need, so please, one at a time. My ears hurt…”

“What did you say?!!”

“Can’t hear you!!! Louder!!!”

“I brought everything you need, so please, one at a time!!!”

Startled for a moment by Reina’s loud voice, they soon began to laugh heartily.

“Your personality hasn’t changed!! Reina!!”

“Yeah, this is Reina!!”

Before I knew it, Reina was surrounded by shirtless men.

Just as I was about to consider whether I should help her out, she calmly began to take something out of her bag.

“Uncle Pil, here’s your alcohol. It’s from the North, so drink it sparingly. The iron Uncle Baek asked for, I asked them to send it to the workshop this morning, so it’ll arrive soon. And Uncle Jack-“

Is this what social life is like?

Sighing, yet delivering what each person needed, her demeanor seemed to show how well she had blended in here.

She looked somewhat like a dependable senior.

-I never knew Ppatppat-i 2 was so good at socializing.

-Ppatppat-i2_Surrounded_by_Men.avi

-Ooh yeah.

-Will the two guys above please hold their breath for just 10 minutes?

“So, who’s that friend behind Reina?”

“Ah.”

At the words of the man called Pil, I was finally able to bring up the reason we came here.

“She’s our newbie. By any chance, where’s Uncle Tom?”

“Tom? That fellow should be making weapons inside right now. Why are you looking for him?”

“We need to get a weapon made.”

“Huh, what weapon?”

Pil asked, looking puzzled at Reina’s words.

Reina calmly explained to him.

“Our newbie needs a weapon.”

“Your newbie? Isn’t she a new guild receptionist?”

“Well, yes, but…”

Reina scratched her head and dragged her words for a moment.

She seemed to be contemplating how to phrase it.

“Our newbie just received a scouting offer from Grandpa Dante to become a Hunter. She needs a weapon for the test.”

“This frail-looking friend got an offer from Old Man Dante?!”

Pil and the other blacksmiths looked at me with intrigued eyes.

-Ooh, that’s intimidating.

-Their gazes are surprisingly sticky lol.

They slowly walked towards me.

Seeing them approach shirtless, I couldn’t help but take a slight step back.

“Hey, stay still!!”

“If she received a scouting offer from Old Man Dante, she must be pretty amazing, right?”

“Yeah, what kind of weapon do you need? Dual blades? Bow? Longsword? Just say the word!!”

The chat window started going wild, much like the situation with Reina earlier.

-Ooh yeah ooh yeah ooh yeah.

–Is it okay to broadcast this?

-Save the streamer!!

The gazes of the men, their eyes sparkling as they got closer and closer, felt more threatening than any monster.

Even more so with their scalps glistening from sweat.

Thinking it wouldn’t end at this rate,

I hurriedly stated the weapon I needed.

“A greatsword.”

“A greatsword?!”

They looked surprised at my answer.

“With that body?!”

“Not dual blades? Really, a greatsword?”

“You must have misspoken!!”

[King of Greatswords-nim has donated 1,000 won.]
[You know the greatsword. That thing is freaking. fun.]

-Actually, if we were those guys, we would have reacted the same way.

-FR lol.

-Actually, almost no one uses a greatsword in Reality Mode.

-Can’t use it, actually lol.

At their disbelieving attitude, I kindly repeated myself.

“No, it’s a greatsword.”

They all looked like they had something more to say.

Just as the man called Jack was about to open his mouth—

“Step back a bit. Stop bothering our newbie!!”

Reina intervened, separating us.

“Ahem, my apologies.”

“Ahem…”

“We just got excited hearing Old Man Dante scouted her.”

They coughed awkwardly and turned their heads away.

Reina sighed as if she was used to this.

“Haaah, really… It’s fine. Just hurry up and make the weapon. Anyway, Uncle Tom is busy right now, right? You guys seem a bit free. So you guys make it.”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

“Do you have the materials?”

At their question, Reina glanced at me.

It seemed she was signaling me to take out the materials.

At that, I took out the Domagirius materials from the bag I was carrying.

“Here you go.”

“Hoh, Domagirius materials, I see.”

“The condition is pretty good, isn’t it?”

“Exactly. At this rate, it looks like they handled them without much of a fight.”

“This, there’s a reason Old Man Dante scouted her!!”

“Her skills are outstanding!!”

When I handed over the materials, their eyes lit up as they began to examine them.

Soon, the three of them gathered and whispered for a moment.

“Then come around lunchtime!!”

“A greatsword, you said, right? Just trust us!!!”

“It’s been a while since we’ve had materials this good… I’m all fired up!!!!”

-Fired up?

-Three fired-up men… hmm…

-This is suspicious.

After telling them I understood, Reina and I left the blacksmith shop, and she spoke apologetically.

“Sorry, those guys are really overzealous. When a Hunter who can use their weapons well appears, they always make a fuss like that.”

“You seem close?”

Reina smiled faintly at my question.

A slight snaggletooth peeked out from between her smile.

“Well, I’ve known them since I was little. They’re like family.”

Stretching lightly, she looked at me.

“Well then, since they said to come around lunchtime, shall we eat first?”

This time, I smiled at her words.

“Sounds good. I wanted to try it anyway.”

“Then let’s go!”

I slowly followed behind her as she hummed.

-Give me some too!!!

-Boo, streamer, don’t eat alone!!

Food cooked by cats.

I was a little excited.
