2. Awareness (2)

“Crrr..!…Uuuuu..”

“Cain!! Are you awake?”

“Kaiin!!!”

Oh my god, it’s so loud, who is that?

“Here!! Priest!!! Cain has come to his senses!!!!”

“Hueee!!!”

This is fucking crazy. It’s getting noisier and noisier. Look at the level of manners in the ICU. This is fucking shit.

“Brother Claude, calm down… First, let’s check on Cain’s condition.”

“Yes! Please!”

“Ugh…ugh!!”

By the way, it’s so frustrating. Where did you put the cast and why is there a bandage wrapped around your face?

“Okay.. Brother Cain, do you recognize me?”

Kkumbak-

“I think you can hear me, but do you know who I am?”

“H…hello?”

What the heck. That foreigner speaks Korean really well. Did he get naturalized?

“Hello? What does that mean?”

“….”

Something is strange.

I clearly remember being in a car accident, being tied up with stiff bandages and not being able to turn my head, but the ceiling that met my eyes felt like a wooden building, and there was no smell of disinfectant that is typical of emergency rooms or hospitals.

It felt like my whole body was inconvenient to move, not because I was injured, but because my whole body was wrapped in bandages like a mummy.

Titi- I can’t even hear the sound of the electrocardiogram check machine.

The foreigner who was talking to me now was wearing clothes that looked more like priest’s robes than a doctor’s gown.

and.

“Hey kid, are you losing your mind now? Cain!!”

“Hueee …

A man and a woman who seemed to be the ones who had been making loud noises on both sides of me for a while suddenly leaned their heads toward me and started talking.

The man looked incredibly large and muscular, wearing… armor?

“Uh…?”

“Hey, don’t mess around!!”

A Westerner with blond hair, blue eyes, cool, masculine features, and smooth, bronze skin that looks like he’s been tanned looks at me with tears in his eyes.

“Golden sun…?”

“What are you talking about!!! Ugh…”

I looked at the man who seemed not to understand my reaction, his mouth open and he was blankly staring, then he started to cry. Then I finally lowered my head and looked at the face of the girl who was pressed heavily into my arms.

“Cain…Hueee!!!”

I saw a girl with short pink hair.

Tears well up in her innocent puppy-like eyes as she looks at me and cries sadly… Oh.

‘Tsk… this sucker is heavy…’

Push!!!

“Coolook!”

I slowly rolled my eyes and looked at the girl’s body hanging on my body. She was small in stature, but she was crying while holding a heavy baby’s lunchbox on my stomach. I lost consciousness and started bleeding from my nose.

“”Cain!!!!””

“Excuse me, priest, what do you think that guy’s condition is right now?”

“Hmm… Well… It doesn’t seem like a symptom of madness that is eroded by the explorers who explore the middle and upper levels of the labyrinth, but rather a kind of mental confusion…”

“No, I didn’t get a quirk, I just leveled up and got a protection, so is that possible?”

“Um…”

As I regained consciousness, I heard the priest and Claude talking seriously at my bedside.

Slosh!

“Koo…”

And Sia, who was still sleeping with her large breasts on my stomach and her head buried in it, was sleeping with her drool dripping down her face.

In fact, I came to my senses right after I spilled coffee and fainted for a moment, but the memories that came to my mind made me feel so uneasy that I pretended to faint.

‘Is it a reincarnation or a revival…’

The last thing I remember was being hit by a dump truck on my way home from work, but when I regained consciousness with pain all over my body, I thought I was in the intensive care unit or the emergency room. I never thought I would recall memories from my past life.

Cain, 21 years old, has been living the life of an explorer in the Labyrinth City with his childhood friends Claude and Sia for two years.

Also, looking at the memories of Cain being born and raised, it seems like it’s not like he’s possessed, but rather he’s realized his past life or something?

‘By the way… I didn’t do anything in particular, so why?’

I was living a simple life of reading web novels before going to bed, but I had never done anything that would make me want to get a refund.

To be honest, as a reader who eats up almost everything, I’ve never written a malicious comment, but I’ve written comments expressing admiration.

It’s not perfect, but if you combine Cain’s fragmentary memories with the words of Claude and the priest talking next to him, it seems like a world with a labyrinth. I’ve read a few labyrinth stories recently and enjoyed them, but the atmosphere seems a little different.

Trying to recall Cain’s memories in detail gave me such a bad headache that I thought I’d take a nap and then think about it.

“Then, as soon as Cain’s condition improves, go to the Explorer’s Guild and try renewing your card…”

“…Yes, I understand. Thank you, Father.”

After Claude finished talking to the priest, he let out a deep sigh and sat down on the chair opposite to where Sia was sitting.

And soon after, an anxious voice came out from the chair where Claude was sitting, along with the sound of legs shaking.

“Ah.. New face today is so cute….”

It was absurd to hear Claude muttering to me, since I had a clear memory of the relatively recent events that Cain had experienced.

You little shit?

Then I felt Claude get up from his seat and grab Sia’s shoulder and shake her.

Boobies Boobies

Oh… This is amazing… The heavy, smooth lumps on my stomach are rubbing back and forth according to Claude’s hand gestures, wow…

“Sia..Sia..”

“Ugh… Hey Claude…”

“First, let’s watch over Sia so Cain can wake up, okay?”

“Huh? Claude?”

“Me? Me…Me, first of all, I have to settle the magic stones today and then I’ll take care of the cleanup that Cain was doing.”

“Ah…!”

“So Sia, I’ll only trust you?”

“Okay, leave it to me!! I’ll take good care of Cain.”

“Yeah. I said there’s no one else but our Sia!”

“Hehehe.”

Crackle!

“First, I’ll settle the magic stone and put the luggage away. Even though it’s inconvenient, Sia, stay here with Cain.”

“Okay!”

“Give the staff and luggage here too.”

Clank! Clank!

“Here!”

“Then I’ll go and come back.”

“Yeah, have a nice trip!!”

And the sound of the heavy armor moving grew distant, and silence fell upon the relief center.

“Hehehe… Cain! Claude patted your head!”

“…”

It pissed me off a little when I heard Sia’s voice bragging to me, who was pretending to faint that it was good.

‘Hey, is this Cain a fool?’

Cain, or rather I should say, just slept in the dizzy situation and waited for my body to recover quickly.

I took a deep breath and woke up to the next morning.

Sia wasn’t even awake; she was lying down on the empty bed next to me, sound asleep. Claude was sitting on the chair next to my bed, looking at me with a restless expression like a guilty puppy.

“….”

“Cain? Are you…okay now?”

“Uh. Claude.”

“ㅇ..Why?”

“Bring me the magic stone you settled on.”

“That…”

“I heard it all from Sia.”

“What!”

Of course, Sia continued to sleep without any time to talk, but it didn’t matter.

“Quickly, bring me the 90 lowest-grade magic stones I settled with yesterday?”

“That’s…”

“Surely you didn’t stop by the rice cake shop with Mr. Hawk and go to meet a new face while your childhood friend, who almost vomited blood and passed out, is lying in a hospital bed, and then you were excited to meet a new face, and then you saw that the kid was doing better than expected, so you didn’t stay up all night and enjoy yourself until the morning, right?”

Shudder!!!!

When I woke up last night, most of Cain’s memories came back to me, and as expected, I inferred Claude’s actions and yelled at him, and his face turned pale and he distorted his face as if he was pitiful.

“That…dry…thing…!”

“아, 기벽이고 지랄이고 개새끼야!!”

Bam!!!

“Eww!!! Eyes!! Eyes!!!”

“Don’t joke around, your level is high.”

“Who…your eyes can’t be trained, you crazy bastard!!!”

“Haa… So how much is left?”

“Um…”

“You didn’t use all 9 silver coins, did you?”

It is highly likely that he gave Hawk Ajay money for the rice cake while making excuses.

I didn’t expect it, but if I act too differently, Claude or Sia might think it’s strange, so for now, act like you usually do.

“That’s….”

“I told you last time, if you leave half of the party fund, I’ll understand if you take our share. Neither Siana nor Nana really spend the money on anything other than buying equipment and consumables.”

“Right?”

“So what’s left?”

“…..”

“Remaining money.”

dump!

“I’m sorry. I went to the store with Mr. Hawk to have a light drink of rum and felt good, but I really liked the new girl who came in, so I was going to end the long night, but the old man said he wanted to run too, so I got drunk and-”

Sling-

“Sorry!!!!”

When he pulls out the dagger he kept on the nightstand and glares at Claude, he apologizes by hitting his head on the ground.

“Whew… Okay. Let’s hurry up and get discharged and go to the union.”

“I…really!”

“Yeah, it’s not like you’re just letting it go, it’s like you’re putting off the time you want, so don’t get too excited.”

“Ugh!”

I left Claude lying crumpled on the floor, changed my clothes, and woke up Sia.

“Siaya.”

“Hehehe….”

Kwaaak!

“Wow!”

I pinched Sia’s cheek and saw her waking up with tears in her eyes.

Looking at the heavy treatment bag shaking since morning, my anger subsides a bit and my mood improves.

“ in? Cain??”

“I’m going to the dorm. Wake up, Sia.”

“Huh..! Claude? Huh??”

Sia was looking around with her hair disheveled and drool dripping from her mouth.

He looked back and forth between me and Claude, who were looking at him normally, and then he stroked his head and face to check his condition.

“Gyaak!!”

Hurry up!!

Then he quickly gets up and runs outside.

“Haa..let’s go.”

“Yeah…”

“Oh! Mr. Cain, you’ve come to your senses!”

The priest saw us bickering and approached us with a smile.

“Yes, thank you. Julius.”

“Can I pay the medical expenses after I first go to the accommodation and the explorer’s association?”

“No problem! Super Rookie of the Labyrinth City! Of course I understand if it’s Claude’s party!”

This is a really annoying nickname.

“Okay, see you in the afternoon.”

“May the protection of the Goddess be with you-”

“Ah!!! Aah!! Cain sa… gently!!! Eww!!”

Leaving behind Father Julius, who had come out to greet us politely, I grabbed hold of Claude’s beard and headed towards the lodgings.
