episode_0010

Yuri Lee and I were sitting inside a hamburger restaurant.

A store called

Although it was a strange name that parodied the real-life hamburger.

Anyway, it was a pretty great restaurant.

I packed a hamburger set and sat down.

Yuri was eating French fries in front of me with a happy expression.

“Ehehe…hehe… this is delicious…“

“Eat slowly, if it’s not enough, I’ll order more.“

I looked at her with a happy expression.

Finally, I didn’t have to worry about losing Yuri ever again.

After safely leaving the New Year’s party, I felt relaxed and drowsy.

Just like what happened to me in the past,

I wanted to cut off Han Tae-woo’s left hand and other fingers, but

Since my goal of killing that guy was achieved, I didn’t want to see any more blood.

The security team leader’s unexpected cooperation was also of great help.

I took out my notebook and was checking my goals.

I proved my skills at the New Year’s party.

From now on, I no longer need to worry about money like debt or entrance fees.

From now on, all you had to do was meet Alice and proceed with the tutorial normally.

A [C]-class monster, Bloodhound, that appeared in Shinnonhyeon when the gate exploded.

That guy chased me, moving faster than I could imagine,

Unable to run away, I used my wits on the spot and managed to defeat Yu-ri Lee and that guy.

‘But I didn’t know that there would be a lot of trouble after that because of an error…’

I sighed unconsciously out of mixed feelings,

Then Yuri was shocked and wiped the ketchup from the corner of her mouth.

“Uh… I showed you a bit of an ugly side… I’m sorry…“

“Huh? No, no, I have something to think about for a moment.“

She blushed even to her ears and hurriedly wiped her mouth.

I wanted to admire her cute appearance, but

First, I opened the skill window and strengthened my skills to prepare for the upcoming battle.

[Solid tenacity D]

[Pretend to be dead E]

[Extra sense E]

‘This should be enough…’

In my current state, if it was a [C] class monster, I could kill it with Yuri Lee quite easily.

But if you do that for no reason and an error occurs again, it will be a big problem.

This time, after getting beaten up and pretending to be dead,

All I could do was pray that Alice would show up and things would go smoothly this time.

‘Now then… let’s try using the subspace skill.’

As I put on the gloves, the cross symbol glowed brightly.

And where I stretched out my hand, a small portal appeared.

Inside, an empty armory was visible,

You could insert objects or weapons into it.

I threw the wrapped hamburger and the flame katana into subspace.

A mechanical arm inside came over and started organizing my things neatly.

The [Loss of Awareness] skill was a skill that could be turned on and off.

Since I had nothing to write about right now, I decided to put it on hold.

‘With this one thing, you’ll be good enough to be an ace porter…’

In the beginning, my role as I followed them through numerous battlefields was miserable.

[Reduced awareness] causes you to run away without attracting the attention of enemies.

To those whose weapons or armor are broken

His role was to hand over extra equipment hidden in the [Subspace Armory].

He had to be well-spoken to be a commander, or an S-rank leader.

In reality, he was a porter himself with a tenacious life.

‘There were days like that… I miss them…’

Before reincarnating in this world, my only daily job was carrying bottled water at the distribution center.

Compared to those days, it was nothing like using up space to deliver equipment.

Tiring-!

Suddenly, my phone vibrated and a text message arrived.

I took out my smartphone and read the message on the screen.

[caution! A gate flooding incident occurred at Shinnonhyeon Station. Citizens are requested to evacuate to a safe location immediately.]

“Yuri, if you finish eating, let’s leave.“

“Yes!”

—-

After leaving the store, we walked towards Shinnonhyeon Station.

‘If I remember correctly, it was probably around here…’

Swooo!

In the middle of a huge 8-lane road

A large portal began to emerge.

Citizens evacuating nearby took out their cell phones and began filming the situation.

Without hesitation, I walked toward the emerging portal.

“What… That person must be crazy..! Don’t you have to stop it?“

“He doesn’t have a weapon…and he’s a man…!“

“I think the woman in the back is a hunter…? Then it will be okay.“

” Wow, I’m going to pick the right YouTube channel today…!”

Inside the purple portal, the maw of a vicious-sized beast protruded first.

Next, a huge wolf covered in red fur appeared.

[C] Class Monster Bloodhound.

It was exactly the same as when I encountered it that day.

The long fangs were covered in red blood,

The beast’s burning eyes were glaring at me from within its swollen fur.

Crrr…!

The blood-red wolf began to growl.

Unlike that day when I was scared, shaking my hands and feet,

I smiled and stretched out my hand into subspace.

Let’s pull out the blade of [Red Moon Muramasa] and raise it up.

Red flames flickered menacingly,

The wolf-like monster showed its teeth and began to retreat little by little.

“Yuri, do you remember the plan I told you about earlier?“

“So…you meant to wait until a hunter appears?“

“Okay, stay back just in case.“

I glared at the blood hound with a strong grip on my sword.

If I were to become a hunter in the future, I would have to cut down monsters like this until I got sick of them.

Although he is currently a level 2 awakened person, he has no experience fighting monsters directly.

Now, this moment was the perfect situation to develop my skills.

“Then… let’s go…!“

I quickly ran out, raising my katana towards the monster.

Crrr…!

bang!!!

In an instant, a huge claw swung towards me,

I raised the blade and blocked the attack.

It was a strong enough attack that I was pushed back a few steps for a moment.

If you have already mastered swordsmanship to some extent,

I was able to skillfully overcome this level of shock.

The monster’s pupils widened and he hesitated for a moment.

I didn’t miss the opportunity and grabbed the monster’s huge nose.

He struck hard with a very hard scabbard.

Just!!!

Awww~~!!!

The blood hound quickly leapt backwards, widening the distance.

Afterwards, it started rushing towards me quickly, drooling.

‘fast…!’

I ran quickly towards the bottom of the charging monster.

Just before those huge teeth bite me, I barely bend down.

It slid quickly toward the asphalt road.

Passing under the monster, I raised my sword and struck the monster’s abdomen hard.

“[Slash (斬擊)]!“

Exactly!!!!!!!

Damn!!!!

The monster flipped over and fell towards the road next to it.

I got up from the floor and sheathed my sword.

Perhaps because I practiced the skill a lot, I gained proficiency.

Thanks to this, I reached a point where my magic power was barely depleted with just one or two slashing skills.

“Phew… If this is enough, now…“

◦ at

At that moment, the monster that was rolling to the side recovered its body and

I started rushing towards Yu-ri Lee, who was watching me from afar.

It seemed like the aggro target had changed while I was briefly stunned.

‘Holy shit…!’

I started running quickly towards Yuri.

She was the best pure damage dealer in the game, but her tanking ability was the same as a piece of paper.

When I fought that monster that day, I, who had no ability, drew aggro myself.

This is because even a single claw strike from Lee Yu-ri would have been fatal to her.

“Yuri!!!!!“

I pulled out my katana and threw it at the bloodhound that was charging towards Yuri.

“Get it!!!!”

[Throwing]

Easy profit!

puck!!!!

Awww!!!

As the blade entered the monster’s neck, a wolf’s howl was heard.

Then, as the sword body began to burn red,

The fire began to spread throughout the monster’s fur.

However, the monster that was hesitant did not give up and at that moment opened its mouth and tried to devour Yu-ri.

bang!!!!

I leapt in front of the monster and blocked the hound’s teeth with my arms.

“Do…Young Master…!!“

“It’s okay…! Because it’s okay…! Please take a quick look around…!“

“Yes..! Yes!!!“

The sharp beast’s teeth began to pierce the suit’s jacket.

Just in case, the steel plywood that was custom-made and put in place in advance is

Fortunately, the monster’s fangs were unable to pierce it.

Moreover, I have developed skills that make me strong.

If only I could hold on like this…!

puck!!!!

“Ugh!!!“

In an instant, I was hit directly by the tail he swung and flew away.

Craddangtang!

For a moment, my vision became blurry, and I heard Yuri yelling something at me.

As soon as you are hit by an unexpected attack,

I felt like all the strength in my body was gone.

‘Ah… I did a good job capturing the skills…’

Unlike the time when I was hit by the youngest’s sword,

Now, thanks to my tanking skills, I was able to quickly recover my sanity.

But in order to properly get Alice here and follow the tutorial…

Here, I had no choice but to use my secret skill.

[Pretend to be dead E]

‘It’s a bit embarrassing, but… if it’s for the sake of the tutorial…’

“Ack…! This hurts so much…“

dump-

Grrrr….

The bloodhound started nudging me with its muzzle.

He sniffed, buried his nose in the back of my head, and smelled it.

Soon, he seemed to lose interest and moved further away from me.

When I raised my head, I saw Yuri Lee’s panicked face in the distance.

But I smiled and gave a thumbs up.

‘It’s going according to plan.’

Then she nodded and screamed loudly.

“Please help!!!! People are dying here!!!!!“

Let Lee Yu-ri shout loudly in the middle of the road.

At that moment, someone quickly ran behind her.

“Hehe… We can’t pass up those in need… I will personally help you!“

A figure holding a sword with long red hair fluttering.

The moment when a bloodhound ran in front of Yuri Lee.

“I will cut it down without hesitation. [One sum]!!“

She held the sword and let out a breath.

As a red mist flows out of the mouth,

Kicking off the ground, she rushed towards the bloodhound.

The moment when a sharp explosion sounded like thunder hitting the ground.

Hiss—!

With neat, uncluttered movements, she guided the flashing blade into the scabbard.

click—!

bang!!!!!!

The bloodhound’s body was cut in half and reduced to ashes.

“Hehe, did you see it? This is the power of this body.“

She cut down the bloodhound in an instant,

Before I knew it, he was crouching in front of me and holding out his hand.

Her passionate red eyes smiled at me.

I responded with a smile, held her hand, and stood up.

“I really missed you, Alice“

“Huh? Where have we met before? I think this is my first time meeting you.“

“Ah… That’s um… Oh, that’s right, I’m a huge fan of yours. I’m a big fan!“

“Really…! Is that true! I’m really happy! It’s been a week since I worked hard to protect the city… I’ve never met a fan like you!“

Well, by now her [hero activity!] SNS was still the Hako channel account.

It was only later that he became a level 5 celebrity,

For now, he is just one of the fresh-faced academy students aspiring to become a hero.

“Really… thank you Alice! Thanks to you, I survived!“

She started to blush as she swung her sword with great joy.

“Eh…ahem! There’s nothing wrong with praising me that much… but if you want, you can praise me a little more!“

“Please… let me repay you for saving me!“

I handed her a hamburger set from the store to her, who looked very happy.

Why isn’t it said that there was a custom of offering cyburgers to the Scythians in ancient times?

To Alice, who saved my life,

It was natural to offer a premium hamburger set as a tribute.

Plenty of her favorite barbecue sauce,

Even a milkshake with ground Oreos and strawberries.

A fantastic hamburger set that suits all her tastes.

It was enough to make a very good first impression with Alice.

“This…is…?! No way, that [Five Women] hamburger…! Is it okay to give this precious thing to me?“

“Okay then! If only for the sake of the hero who is always struggling! Oh, I see you’re wearing a uniform. You’re a Central Academy student, right? I also entered that school. Please continue to look after me.“

“Really…it’s going to be good…! Today is the best day! I also received a gift from a fellow classmate…!“

At that moment, another monster appeared at the gate where I thought the rampage had ended.

It was another monster with a different fur color than the bloodhound that had appeared earlier.

The problem is that the color of the monster’s fur changes every moment,

It was camouflaged like a chameleon.

It was creeping towards the glass, licking its tongue.

And in this situation, it seemed like I was the only one who noticed the existence of that monster.

Yuri was just staring at me.

Alice is also busy telling me something.

‘That… I’ve never seen it before…’

“Thank you so much..! How can I call you…! Forward..!“

I ran forward, holding the katana that was stuck in the ashes of Blood’s Hound.

“Uh..! Just wait a moment…!“

Then he glared at another huge wolf that jumped out of the gate.

Aiming precisely for the neck of the guy who was slowly walking towards the nearest Yuri…

Remembering the exact posture Alice showed earlier…

“[Ilseom (一閃)].“

Hiss—-!

Elegantly and beautifully.

Sigh—!

With just one movement, the gray wolf’s neck was cut cleanly.

Wiping the blood off the blade, I stood in front of Yuri, who had fallen to the floor.

“I told you, right? I will definitely save your life.“

“Haa…. Ugh…surprise…sorry…sorry…!“

“Hmm… I heard it’s so dangerous if you just stare at me and do something else during the battle.“

I took her hand and helped her up.

I heard Alice running quickly behind me.

“Just now…! What was that technique just now..?! Oh no!! That was definitely a hit!!! Where did you learn this? Where is the school? No way…the excommunicated disciple that the Master mentioned…ugh!“

I put my finger on her lips.

Then she looked at me with bright eyes, looking completely excited.

I nodded repeatedly and lowered my hand.

“Then… then what should I call you from now on? Please tell me your name…! My name is Alice! You will become the best prosecutor!“

“I am Han Seo-jin, and I am, um… like a wandering swordsman who was passing by.“

“Wandering swordsman…! I understand! From now on, I will call you Seojin Doryeong! Then… I will ask you to take good care of me in the future!“

I took her hand and shook it gently.

Those eyes looking at me full of passion.

In the future full of devastation, that passion eventually disappeared.

The last thing that remained was her resentment and cursing the world.

But the pure and beautiful appearance she has now is so cute,

Now that I have the ability, I definitely wanted to protect it.

“Then…! Will I be able to meet Seojin again in the future?“

“Then, let’s meet again at the academy.“

“I understand..! I must be looking forward to that day…!“

She disappeared, running somewhere while holding a bag of hamburgers.

Several crows flew after her.

Perhaps because too much time had passed, a scarlet sunset was setting over the city.

“Then, shall we go back soon, Yuri?“

“Really… Dangerous things like this are prohibited from now on.“

“Ahaha… Well, I can’t guarantee.“

So we went back home, bickering among ourselves.

With very pleasant steps.

—–

Alice sat on the edge of the rooftop and looked at the cityscape.

The cityscape illuminated by a scarlet sunset.

It was the peaceful sight of the beautiful city she had always dreamed of.

In her arms was a warm bag of hamburgers.

Alice carefully peeled off the wrapper and took a bite.

It started eating lavishly, making noises like a hamster with bulging cheeks.

“Really… the taste of hamburgers in the city is excellent…“

Filled with your favorite barbecue sauce,

The milk shake tastes like a mixture of strawberry and Oreo.

She grabbed the shake and French fries next to her and started eating them.

As she started eating, several crows sat down next to her and started pecking at her fries.

“Ahem, you guys worked hard today too! I will give you credit for finding the fallen spirit!“

“Caw!“

“Ahh! Don’t eat everything, but leave some for me! Really…well…“

Alice was eating a hamburger while looking at the sunset.

And she blushed as she touched the Academy badge on her chest.

‘Really… I guess I can meet the master if I go to the academy… There are so many things I want to ask…’

He held her hand with the brightest smile of anyone I’ve ever met.

When I think of his face, my face gets hot and my heart starts pounding.

“No… No… What am I thinking…“

She posted a picture of the food on social media, saying it was her first gift from a fan, and then looked at the sunset and got lost in thought.

His appearance using the secret art [Ilseom (一閃)], which he thought was the only one in the world to inherit it.

The series of movements seemed very familiar and used beautifully.

She wanted to see him again as soon as possible.

I thought that maybe she was the fateful companion I had been looking for.

“I want to see you again soon…“

“Caw—!“

Alice decided to walk around the city, reminiscing about her meeting with Han Seo-jin.

With the expectation that I might be able to meet him again today.

[congratulations! The bond rank with Alice has increased!]
