“When did I tell you to use it?”

“If it’s really dangerous, spray it on someone else. I remember.”

Even though she was complaining, Yang Ji-hee was only stubborn.

“It’s dangerous if it becomes known that you have something like this. Park Jeong-woo, you know that the hunter industry is not that clean, right?”

“I know. I don’t use it carelessly.”

Moon Ha-yeon, standing next to her, must have been a little bored, even yawning in half-leaning anticipation of the long staff.

Just before departure for the expedition. The reason why I’ve been listening to God’s instructions for so long. It was a single plastic bottle tied to the side.

The lid of the transparent plastic bottle without a label was closed so tightly that it seemed excessive. The inside is filled with a grayish-white translucent liquid.

“And what did I say again?”

“Shake before writing. If you ask where it came from, don’t answer. Right?”

“Hehe. You remember it well.”

Yang Ji-hee stroked my head as if she was proud of me, but I wasn’t very proud. Yesterday, I listened to it all day long, but if I couldn’t remember that, I’d be a monkey and not a human.

What is the identity of the gray-white liquid? It was water diluted with my semen. Did you say 1 in 50? It is said that the proportions were precisely balanced.

When seeding was originally triggered, it came into contact with user Park Jeong-woo’s semen. All statuses will increase by two levels for one week. While it appears.

It is said that if a liquid diluted to this level touches it, a message will appear without any explanation, saying that all statuses will increase by one level for 2 hours.

therefore. This means that it temporarily increases all your stats, and there is no need to drink it during battle, and there are no side effects. It was like an ending potion.

Of course, there is an expiration date. More than anything. No matter how dangerous the situation was, I felt like I would have to live with the guilt for the rest of my life if I spread this to others. At least I didn’t want to write it.

Still, there is no harm in being prepared. Because ingredients are ingredients, the more I thought about it, the more distraught I became. I let out a long sigh.

“Gwae, are you okay, Jeongwoo? Well, if I’m not feeling well, should I stay a little longer?”

“No. Even if I go now, it might be too late. Let’s go quickly.”

There were about 3 hours left until the 12 o’clock appointment time. I had to go to Gangwon-do. It was much better to arrive early than late.

“Hayeon, please be careful too. I wonder if anything special will happen at the D-class gate… .”

“Well, something like last time might happen. I will take good care of Jeongwoo. lol… .”

The only person accompanying this expedition was Ha-yeon Moon. This is because the reinforcements Jindowon requested were one clan member, including me.

After briefly reminiscing about the fierce rock-paper-scissors battle that had taken place the night before, I tightened the belt with the main daggers inserted into various parts of my body once more and slightly bowed my head.

“Then I’ll come back soon. See you in the evening.”

“Hehe. Have a nice trip.”

Yang Ji-hee spoke with a regretful expression. It was half her fault that the rock-paper-scissors competition the day before had gone so long. I was almost thankful that he didn’t insist that I would follow him even now.

The short road leading to the parked car. Ha-yeon Moon came closer to the side and quietly crossed her arms.

“Oh, it’s just the two of us today. It’s Jeongwoo… .”

I shouldn’t say that’s what I’m most worried about. In fact, neither Chae Seo nor Yang Ji-hee were there today. Her control was entirely mine.

I swallow my dry saliva. I slowly patted her forearm as if to comfort her.

“I will let you do a lot when you come back. Please bear with me just for the duration of the expedition. You know, right?”

“Ugh… Ha, well, it’s dangerous… .”

Although it seems like it’s going on and on. I knew that wasn’t the case.

Still, to some extent, it felt like I was learning how to hold on to her reins. I crossed my arms even more tightly and patted the back of her hand.

“It’s true. Promise.”

Ha-yeon Moon lowered her head and said, “Hehe, hehe.” It lets out a soft, dark laugh.

Although it felt like I had sold off my night time and my back health for the sake of the expedition. When you see that this doesn’t feel so unfair. I felt like I was quite affected too.

Even when we got into the car, she held my hand tightly. The warmth flowing through my palm was quite nice, though. More than anything, I didn’t want to go against my intentions. I didn’t remove my hand.

… It’s so difficult to go on an expedition comfortably. shit.

*

The entrance to the undead dungeon was in a closed underground shopping mall. It was quite wide, but I was able to get my bearings without a map.

“Aaagh!”

“You’re so cool, you’re so smart, Jin Do-won!!”

… You can tell just by listening to it for a moment. All you had to do was follow the epicenter of the truly extra-like voice of praise.

“Ah. This way!”

The gate was, oddly enough, located in the middle of an underground shopping mall. It was a moment to see the blue gate reaching the ceiling. I waved Jin Do-won’s hand lightly.

As they said it was not an expedition with many people participating. The number of people gathered did not exceed ten at most. If you add me and Moon Ha-yeon, there would be about twelve.

of course. Being surrounded by seven people didn’t seem to be very comfortable either. You can see him struggling to get through the crowd of people following him and somehow trying to come this way.

“You came on time.”

“The road was a bit blocked on the way… .”

“Oh my god, you spoke respectfully!”

“Zenjaang! It’s cool hey hey!”

I couldn’t figure out where there was anything to be excited about in the conversation we just had. As the surroundings became even more noisy, I kept quiet for a moment.

“Why are these people like that… ?”

I don’t know. Do you guys understand?

It seems like Moon Ha-yeon can’t get used to this atmosphere at all. He crossed his arms tighter and spoke quietly.

Jin Do-won was looking blankly at me and Moon Ha-yeon. I could sense deep confusion as my gaze wandered here and there.

“This is my clan member. My name is Ha-yeon Moon. Is there any problem? ?”

“Ah. no. It’s just that it’s been a long time since a woman stopped talking to me.”

If someone who doesn’t know about his skills heard about it, like I did before. It was a statement that could have raised suspicions of serious excessive self-consciousness.

But I could understand it easily. If you had that kind of skill, this kind of reaction might be even more surprising.

Of course, Ha-yeon Moon didn’t know that. They folded their arms deeply and talked quietly.

“Hey, Jeongwoo. That person seems a bit strange… .”

A bitter smile came out. I wanted to say that this time too, it wasn’t what you wanted to say. I suppressed the urge and spoke to Jin Do-won.

“Probably because of my skills.”

“Oh, by the way, your intelligence will also increase… .”

+2 from sowing and -3 from the protagonist’s aura. The sum is -1. At least when it comes to intelligence, the difference wasn’t that big.

Unlike stats like strength and agility, which are easy to distinguish based on the baseline. In terms of intelligence, there were often times when there was not much of a difference between stages.

In the first place, it is unclear by what standard the intelligence stat is determined and what effect it has. It was a status shrouded in the thickest veil.

I glanced at Moon Ha-yeon. In the first place, I didn’t know what this woman’s basic status was. The more I think about it, the more meaningless it seems. I lightly shrugged my shoulders and brushed off my doubts.

“Anyway, we’re leaving in 5 minutes, so get ready and wait.”

Jin Do-won greeted me neatly. I went back to where the expedition members were.

It seemed quite familiar to him explaining things over and over again to the expedition members who had to say the same thing over and over again to understand. I guess those are all tips.

“Well, then, I’ll go to the bathroom for a moment. I can’t go anywhere… ?”

Ha-yeon Moon uncrosses her arms and smiles. He held my hand tightly and fiddled with it, then let go. As I walked the short distance to the bathroom, I looked back several times.

From experience, I knew that if I didn’t watch her go at a time like this, she would come back like a boomerang later. I smiled mechanically and looked at him.

Life in this world is not easy. Being a clan leader, my main job is a squeeze. To please clan members.

Of course, it wasn’t said that Ha-yeon Moon suddenly turned violent. Just squeeze it out longer than usual. I just asked if it was okay more often.

She goes into the bathroom. I was buried in random thoughts, and only then could I hear footsteps approaching right behind me.

“Hey… .”

It was a voice I didn’t recognize. In front of me when I look back. There was a woman standing less than two spans away.

It was the woman I saw at the entrance to the Hunter Management Bureau earlier. Twisting her short pink hair behind her ear, Yeoji spoke carefully and with quite a bit of hesitation.

“Could it be him, Park Jeong-woo… ?”

“Uh… Yes, that’s correct?”

The woman’s expression brightened. She came closer. He holds my limp hand tightly.

“Ah!”

The force was so strong that I involuntarily screamed. Even though I grimaced under the pressure that felt like my hand was going to break, she didn’t care. He was smiling with a bright expression.

“That’s right, Jeongwoo! Don’t you remember me?”

“Who are you?”

I was so embarrassed that I was going crazy. I was slowly getting used to the idea of someone missing a screw in their head. My instincts were warning me that this woman had tastes in a different direction.

As the woman jumps in place, her large breasts bounce. The woman who let go of her hand suddenly spread her arms wide and hugged me.

“Evil!!”

I feel like my shoulders will be crushed. But more than that pain. I quickly turned my eyes and looked toward the bathroom.

Fortunately, Ha-yeon Moon has not appeared yet. The woman fell and was smiling brightly while holding my shoulder tightly.

“Lie, you really don’t remember?”

Do you have the ability to remember? I’ve never met you.

The cherry blossom-colored hair may have been dyed, so even if that were the case. If you have these characteristic pink eyes and breasts, you won’t be able to forget them.

Because I was beyond embarrassed and scared, I shook my head violently.

“We went to the same middle school! Jeongwoo!”

Although the woman spoke with a good voice. My embarrassment gradually deepened.

That’s right, because I graduated from Boys’ Middle School and Boys’ High School.
