“Si, I think time is up. I’m here… .”

I tried to keep a calm expression, but I tried. The way they looked at me wasn’t very nice.

Ha-yeon Moon, Seo-ah Chae, and Ji-hee Yang were relatively good, though. Soyo and the director had eyes that seemed to be looking at a creature that could not be understood.

“That’s right. Ah, I slept soundly.”

Although I didn’t sleep well. Still, Ojiri, whose complexion had improved, smiled brightly. As if showing off. He pulls the hand around my waist closer to his body.

… Note that. Let me explain my current state. There were several speckled marks left on the nape of his neck, and his legs were shaking due to lack of strength. I don’t know, but it must have smelled pretty bad.

The door to the room where Oji and I were just a moment ago was wide open. There was a strong smell that couldn’t go away without ventilation.

“I’m really sorry. We’ll do the cleaning… .”

“No. Jihee said… It’s not even a thing.”

“Still, it’s what our clan members did.”

Looking at Yang Ji-hee, who is struggling. Somehow, I wondered if that was something I should do.

Because I decided to stop pretending for now. I kept my mouth shut and maintained a defensive silence.

The director, who was making a very subtle expression, scratched his cheek.

“Anyway. Are your thighs okay?”

“Ah, yes. I kept lying down and it doesn’t feel so awkward anymore… .”

“Ah, you were lying down the whole time… .”

Somehow, it seemed like his gaze towards me had become more subtle. I responded by keeping my mouth shut and slightly turning my gaze to the side.

“I need to see if there is any problem. Would you like to take it out here?”

The director raised his hand and waved it gently in front of his thigh.

“It will be mixed with Park Jeong-woo’s magical power, so you can place your hand on the tattoo and think of its shape in your head.”

“Ah. Yes, I will try.”

I moved my hand and moved it onto my right thigh. I felt a strange rebound force, as if I was holding a magnet with different poles.

I closed and opened my sweaty hands a couple of times. Let’s just say it’s a weapon I can think of. Because there were only throwing daggers or small swords. I remembered the shape of a dagger that I was familiar with.

“Oh… ?”

I could feel the temperature in my palm. When I looked down, I saw a bright blue dagger in my tight hand.

The center of gravity and shape were similar to store-made items. The blade was actually sharper, so it was similar to the ideal weapon.

The director let out a short laugh as he looked at me with my eyes wide open.

“You can change the shape near the tattoo.”

As she said. With my hand holding the dagger on my thigh, I thought of various shapes. Long batons, small swords, etc. The mass of magic changed its shape according to my thoughts.

“Yes. Like that.”

“Ah, thank you… .”

When I tried it myself, I was immediately struck by how precious this item was. of course. Although there is a condition that it must be as long as my magic power allows. Having a sidearm that can be drawn at any time was much more reliable than I thought.

“You will need some practice to handle it properly. You remember the principle, right?”

“Roughly speaking.”

Rather than having a function in itself, it was said to be an item that extremely aids in manipulating magical power.

After all, it is an entity created with my magic power. I remembered the director’s words that the more familiar you are with magical power, the more things you can do.

“Yes. Oh, starting today, I need to practice using magical power… .”

Ever since I heard that it became necessary to practice using magic power. Ha-yeon Moon looked quite happy.

Actually, compared to the help I get from other people. The help she could receive was quite limited.

Chae Seo-ah’s method of using her body itself. Only throwing. Yang Ji-hee supported her overall life, but Moon Ha-yeon had relatively little to do.

but. It was conceivable that when it came to manipulating magical power, there would be no one better than her as a magician.

Because I couldn’t say anything to someone who was happy that I could be of help. I smiled awkwardly and nodded.

“Please help me practice a lot, Hayeon.”

“Yes, yes! Of course!”

If it had a tail, it would have been swinging violently from side to side. Ha-yeon Moon spoke.

“… Hey.”

Looking at me smiling and nodding. Ojik spoke in a low voice.

He unwrapped the hand from around my waist and poked my ribs with his elbow.

“Ugh… .”

With his hands wrapped around his sides, he moved one step to the side and looked up at Ojik.

What didn’t I like so much? Oji was looking down at me with his beautiful eyebrows slightly folded.

“Is it good?”

“Yes? No, that’s good. They said they would help me… .”

“I did that earlier. How many minutes have you been laughing like that?”

“Then shall I cry…? ?’

With a popping sound. Ojiri raised her hand to her eyes and let out a deep sigh.

“Fuck, you slut… . I go first.”

As if he was clearly showing his dissatisfaction. Ojiro walked to the door of the tattoo shop, making the sound of pounding footsteps.

I could only stare at her blankly. Even if you try to accept my anger. Shouldn’t we at least know the reason?

What disturbs me a little more. Except for Soyo, the other clan members are looking at me with pity, not me. It was the door that closed with a loud clanging sound.

“What… . You’ll get used to it soon.”

“Ugh. I guess I should invite everyone to the group chat room… .”

“Write. Shh. I will listen.”

Something else. I felt like I was hearing something I didn’t really want to know. Even if I look at them with my eyes wide open. no one answered

“… Ugh, that’s it.”

Soyo looked at the expressions of my clan members and me and muttered softly.

I closed my eyes tightly and turned my head away.

“It’s a mess… . There is no one sane… .”

These were the words of a person 6 years older than me who thought of himself as my childhood friend.

“… You can become rich just by selling love amulets, right?”

The tattoo shop director muttered, covering his mouth. I had no choice but to turn my head again and ignore her words. I can’t bear it. I didn’t have the confidence to manage my facial expressions.

The biggest advantage of magic weapons was that they could change the trajectory of a flying dagger.

After all, it is an item made purely from my magical power. Take Moon Ha-yeon’s words, “There’s nothing that won’t work,” as a clue. It was the result of a week of desperate efforts.

Of course, there were drawbacks. Without elaborate techniques. As it was a movement performed by pouring in magical energy, the consumption of magical energy was extreme each time it was used.

So the compromise solution chosen was wire.

Tying magically woven wire to an ordinary dagger and throwing it. As the relative volume is small, the consumption of horsepower is also low. Orbital control could also be performed a couple of times in succession.

I gained confidence. Even if you can’t do tricks like turning the dagger’s path at the right angle. A wire that can be removed or retrieved at any desired time is a much more convenient item than I thought.

“So, everything should have worked out well… .”

… The location for the week-long expedition was a C-class gate. There was a feeling that we had raised the level somewhat hastily, but we were confident enough.

In the first place. Since it was managed by the guild, there was little chance of something as strange as before happening again.

However, there was just one thing that was overlooked.

“How did things get to this point…? .”

“Hey, shut up! Don’t talk, just throw the knife, I’ll lose my strength!”

“It’s hard, quickly, sort it out… .”

Bright sunlight shining down. A space between a forest and a field, with a sparse amount of low trees.

On both sides, Ha-yeon Moon and Ji-hee Yang were desperately running.

Beautiful women around that age are sweating. The sight of him desperately running without even paying attention to the shaking of his chest seemed to be quite in demand. At least I didn’t have the energy to care about it right now.

Just like on my first expedition, I was riding on Ojik’s back. Even the way he looked behind him and threw the dagger was the same.

“Oh, go, don’t go~.”

“Shut up and run fast.”

Far away. Normally, the tanker and the Chae sisters, who were supposed to be dragging the aggro, were seen running in a hurry.

However, the image was not very clear. Part of it was because the overgrown trees were blocking the view, but more than that it was the group of people standing between us and them.

Purr, puh-hi-hing!!

word. okay. That is. With pure white fur and large brown eyes. A herd of horses that anyone would have recognized as beautiful horses was coming towards them.

How many, maybe ten? They all have blood vessels in their eyes. Whether you hit a tree or fall. Zombies were running straight towards us like berserkers.

“Who made a reservation here!!”

“Hehe, Jo, I tried to do it while I was dozing off and it stopped… .”

“You wait and see when I leave!”

Another unusual point: All of those horses were muscular. If you get hit over there, you’re a hunter and you’re screwed. Wouldn’t it be dented like a bicycle frame that gets hit in traffic?

no. Which one would be closer to a donut?

That’s right. All of those horses had large golden horns on their horses.

“Ah, fuck, this is so fucking unfair! If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have done it!”

Who would hear Ojiri’s shameful screams that rang out in the quiet forest?

A noble virgin insect created by nature. The unicorns. The rest of the party, except Chae Seo-ah and Chae Yoo, are filled with anger towards non-maidens. In other words, they were chasing us, including me.
