episode_0020

I was dragged into the sea from head to toe by the horned naked man who had grabbed me.

Although the man was unconscious due to the wound on his neck and my attack on his weakness, he did not let go of my neck.

If left like this, I would sink and die in the sea, and this man, who could freely move around in this sea, would recover and come back up to sink the ship.

Even if I were to incapacitate him by ejaculating with insight into his weakness, I could not kill this man.

Even when my body was in good condition, it was not easy to inflict wounds on this man with my dagger. It would be even harder in the deep sea.

I should have exercised more. I regretted mocking my mom when she bought a kettlebell to exercise at home.

I looked at the dagger in my hand.

If I don’t kill this man, Rihanna and Peter will die too, right? If I hadn’t met them, they would have lived happily, having fun and having sex. I felt a little sorry.

This person named Hazel, who borrowed my body, also ended up dying as a virgin because of me.

In Korea, chastity was considered a positive element, but here, it’s a world of debauchery. It would be just a subject of ridicule, but I feel sorry.

Moreover, if I die here in the vast sea, Hazel’s family and friends wouldn’t even know that I’m dead, right?

Come to think of it, during the time I’m here, has our mom reported me missing? It’s been a week, so she must have reported me missing, right?

Reasons not to die kept coming to mind. To achieve that, I had to kill this man no matter what. I felt a boiling rage deep inside me.

[I have confirmed your unwavering resolve. Insight into weaknesses is strengthened. Lv1 -> Lv2]

A message appeared in front of my eyes and then disappeared.

And an icon of a dagger appeared near the man’s neck, which he was holding onto with one arm.

Oh? This is really a cheat ability, isn’t it?

In a moment when my consciousness was fading, I squeezed out my last strength and stabbed the man’s neck with the dagger.

Bang-

Splash, splash, splash-

It felt like lying under the warm sun.

Is this heaven? Or did I die and come to meet a goddess? If I could meet a god, I hope it’s a god of retribution. Stab me in the neck with a dagger.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch… Ouch!”

In the midst of the warm feeling, as my consciousness was about to blur again, something pinched my buttocks tightly, and I snapped back to my senses and quickly got up.

A crab was pinching my buttocks. I grabbed it and threw it into the sea.

It was not heaven here, but rather a tropical resort-like atmosphere.

A transparent sea where coral reefs and tropical fish could be seen, an unpolluted white sandy beach, warm sunlight, and palm trees along the coast.

And an SD octopus was hanging on my left arm.

“Ahhhh!”

I tried to grab the octopus’s head like I did with the crab.

“Squirt! Squirt!!”

But this little guy had the advantage of having many legs, so it didn’t fall off my arm. It was also elastic. Its head stretched out as I pulled.

>ω< "Squiiirt!"

I gave up trying to remove it and observed it closely. It was clearly the divine creature that the horned man was trying to save.

Could this be the offspring of the octopus monster? Will it become like that octopus monster that attacked the ship when it grows up?

I took the octopus creature and sat under the shade of a palm tree. And I organized my thoughts.

.

.

Of course, it would be my Inner Self who would do the organizing.

"Inner Self. Are you alive?"

[No. I used too much power in a short period of time. And I don't like being called Inner Self.]

"Byungryun. Tell me what you know."

[…Call me Inner Self.]

The summary of Myungseong was as follows.

The man said that if stabbed by my sword, he would be considered dead. I lost consciousness as the grass slipped from his hand, and Myungseong, who was dependent on me, went into standby mode as well.

It was said that 3 days had passed since then.

[User, you keep misunderstanding me, I’m not a personal secretary. It’s unreasonable to have a conversation like this in the first place.]

[Anyway, you figure out the situation yourself, I won’t be able to use my abilities for a while. I used up all my strength controlling minds during the battle, so I can only prevent hypnotic attacks.]

[Sigh… it’s not like that. It’s just that what you did at that time is so unreasonable. A woman from South Korea who didn’t even know how to fight, let alone war, killed hundreds of people in this world as a first-class adventurer who couldn’t even scratch an enemy. Who do you think deserves the credit for that? Your shield must have been down at that time, so try to remember. Your whole body trembling, tears streaming down your face? And then what? My durability is lacking? My durability is lacking???]

…What’s wrong with you, kid? Why did the seizure button suddenly get pressed? I quickly closed the status window.

Hmm, that’s right. I recalled what happened at that time. Chasing after a man who had killed dozens of armed crew members on the deck, attacking his body, stimulating his genitals, stabbing his throat with a knife, self-harming my thigh without hesitation… and while sinking more than 10 meters deep, thrusting a knife into a person’s spine and ‘killing him.’

Ugh…

My hands were really trembling. Did I really do that? It felt like I was watching a movie, it didn’t feel real.

I apologized to Myungseong without letting him hear.

I couldn’t bring myself to apologize directly, it was against my last bit of pride! Besides, when I think about the humiliation I suffered at the convent because of that prankster Jung Byeong-ryeon, ugh… let’s just forget about it.

Anyway, it’s been 3 days.

Thinking about it made me incredibly thirsty. Looking around, it seemed like this was a large tropical island, but there didn’t seem to be any fresh water to drink. There were palm fruits, but it would be difficult to pick them with bare hands, and splitting them to drink the juice would be even harder, right?

“It’s a shame the dagger is missing.”

“Kkuu! Kku!”

At that moment, the SD octopus hanging on my arm shouted something and then went down to the floor.

“Kkuuu… Bleh!”

The octopus vomited something. It was my dagger.

“Kkuu! Kku!”

How did it swallow a dagger bigger than its head? Was the divine beast actually an inventory? No, more importantly, does it understand what I’m saying?

“Did you bring me here?”

“Kku! Kku!”

The octopus nodded its head.

“Is the ship okay?”

.

.

Through a game of twenty questions with the octopus, I was able to roughly understand the situation.

After the man and I fell into the sea, the octopus monster was defeated by Rihanna, Peter, and the awakened combatants.

The ship was quite damaged, but it wasn’t sinking. The octopus said it was hiding, afraid of being captured and killed, but when it found me, it took me as a hostage and fled here with all its might.

…Hostage?

“Nuna. You’re a hostage now. You have to treat me well, right?”

“Kku! Kku!”

Nuna nodded vigorously.

“Can you climb that tree and pick the fruit? I need to eat that to stay healthy as a hostage.”

“Kkuu?”

Nuna looked up at the tree, nodding its head vigorously.

“Kku! Kku!”

It seemed as easy as eating cake. Climbing the tree quickly, it swallowed three palm fruits the size of my face that had opened on the tree and came back down.

And just like when I spat out the dagger earlier, I spat out three times the amount of palm fruits.

No way, how is this even possible?

I marveled at Mu-na’s inventory ability and brought the dagger to the palm fruit.

…But maybe I shouldn’t do it after all?

“Mu-na, hold the dagger like this. Yeah, yeah. Now, strike here.”

“Kuuaaa…. Ku!”

Mu-na gathered strength and struck down with the dagger.

It felt more like holding the dagger against a cutting board rather than gripping it with tentacles.

The palm fruit was smashed. Fortunately, there seemed to be a peel inside, so the disaster of juice flowing everywhere was avoided.

I made holes in the peel with my nails and drank the contents with a gurgling sound. Ugh. It’s not as refreshing as in the movies. It’s too lukewarm. But after three days of dehydration, it went in endlessly.

I obtained an exceptional inventory and a… no, a hostage taker.

I cleared my throat and decided to explore the surroundings. If it’s not a deserted island, maybe I can get some help?

The place I was pushed into was like a bay, so I decided to leave the bay along the beach for observation.

There were rocks near the bay’s boundary, and as I crossed them, I heard people talking.

It seems this isn’t a deserted island. I let out a sigh of relief and ran towards the source of the voices.

“So, this place isn’t under the kingdom’s influence. If you want help here, you have to pay a price.”

“I am from the Medici family, a merchant. If you help me, I will repay you in the name of my family.”

“Your words really don’t get through, huh? Hey. Goods are the rule here. Promissory notes won’t work.”

Two men and a woman were arguing. Both men were shorter than the woman, which was unique. Oh? Who is that woman?

I approached them.

The men were touching the woman’s chest and buttocks.

“Ugh. Don’t make advances in this situation. I appreciate it, but I’m tired, so if you can provide a place to rest, I would be grateful.”

“So, give it a try once. If you let me go, I’ll give you food and a place to sleep for the night.”

“What on earth are you talking about?!”

The woman said with a serious expression. Wait, isn’t she the captain of the ship? I heard the ship was safe, so why is she here?

“You’ll provide food and a place to sleep, and even let me go? Are you angels?”

The captain was extremely excited.

“Ah… But is that okay? I’m… still a v-v-virgin, so you’re going to let me go to sleep with you? Can we change the subject?”

The men and I were shocked.
