News that a trustworthy helper named Solas Korylenko has been added to this attack on King Gordias.

Hearing that news from Lund made me feel very happy.

Suddenly, I caught sight of Silas next to me.

“…Buuuck!”

I released the momentary feeling of exhilaration by scraping my stomach against Sheila’s soft belly.

Sheila’s eyes became rounder than usual after being suddenly let down.

“Chris Ugh!”

Even though I was able to successfully punch Silas, she just shouted my name and gently pushed me with her front paw.

In addition, it felt good to have soft meatballs on the front paws instead of sharp claws that would have been pulled out immediately if it were another cat.

“Okay, Sheila, I’m sorry.”

However, I apologized appropriately for the incessant movement of the front paws.

“Oh, wait a minute, Chris was playing with Sheila.”

Meanwhile, Sylvia, who was talking to Ilseong on my terminal, said that and headed to another room to communicate smoothly.

As I was watching TV with Sheila in the living room, various news came out.

The first news occurred at the local council in eastern Maguspol.

“Oh!”

The appearance of a politician on the screen was truly unique.

He is a bit taller than me and has the head of a bulldog.

Considering that the beasts were treated poorly in Maguspol, it was as if a dragon had come out of a stream.

‘He also happens to be a dog beast.’

“It’s ugly!”

“That’s because it’s a bulldog.”

As I looked at the following content, the appearance of the parliament building and the situation at the time began to appear.

It appears that an argument broke out while lawmakers were discussing a bill.

In particular, there seemed to be an exchange of words between the high-ranking people in Maguspol, the so-called city nobles, who inherited power and wealth from generation to generation, and Councilor Balbes.

“For someone with a background in dog fighting to be fussy!”

A blond-haired, somewhat dark-skinned representative who didn’t look that old said as he looked down at Rep. Valves.

‘Wow, there is no other golden sun.’

I wondered if there was someone who looked like that and became a member of the National Assembly. However, this was not the real world, but Magusfall in the Dream City worldview, so I decided to do it.

“What, you! Did you say everything?!”

Then, Balves’ fellow lawmakers protested.

“….”

However, in the meantime, Rep. Balves approached him with his small body and said a word.

“The difference between you and me is that my family begins with me, but your family ends with your generation.”

“What?!!!!”

Representative Valves said that and returned to his seat.

‘They say he’s from a dog fighting background, and he’s good at arguing.’

The Geumtaeyang guy tried to rush at Balbes after hearing the warning, but the lawmakers around him belatedly stopped him, preventing further trouble from happening.

I said while petting Scylla.

“Sila, Ilseong also had a background in dog fighting, right?”

My memory was a bit vague.

Of course, Silas nodded and said that Ilseong had a background in dog fighting, just as I said.

We’ve often seen people who used to fight dogs become problem solvers, but to the point where they even become politicians…

I wondered if he had sold out his own family. It was that difficult in this city.

“…Aren’t there any politicians who were cat moms’ cats?”

When I said that while looking at Silas, she tilted her head.

“How about Silas? Do you want to be a politician or something?”

“For me, being with my mom and Chris is enough!”

“Of course, it’s amazing!”

The cat that gave the most exemplary answer needs to be hugged and petted sincerely to understand it!

***

While I was stroking my hair like that, another news came on TV.

“Uh….”

Because this news was about content, I covered Silas’s eyes with both hands.

“Oh, I want to see it too! Let’s see!”

“Uh-huh, no.”

Although Silas looked older than me when she did her handwriting, she was still a child who needed care.

Maguspol’s media doesn’t even grow mosaics.

The TV screen shown immediately afterward clearly showed the damage around the site where the sky whale crashed.

“What is it? Is it a sky whale?”

Lund, who looked like a wolf, came next to Scylla and me with an indifferent expression.

“Uh, I guess I ended up crashing into a building.”

“It’s not uncommon.”

“…Huh?”

Certainly, as far as I know, it is rare for a sky whale to fall.

No matter how curious the sky whale is, it knows what will happen if it gets closer to the ground than necessary.

“What do you mean?”

“It’s literally true. Didn’t something like that happen a few years ago?”

“….”

As expected, I couldn’t keep up with Lund’s sense of time. Maybe it was because she was already over 100 years old.

If something happened every few years, it was a common occurrence for Lund.

“Hee Iik!”

Meanwhile, Sheila seemed to have escaped my hand and was watching the TV screen.

I quickly returned to the area covered by my hands as I saw the terrible sight of a person being crushed to death and blood splattering around.

“Ugh, Scylla! I told you not to look!”

“Hiiing.”

Anyway, there was one important part of this fall of the Sky Whale.

The location of Devils Park where the whale fell is near the Sasau Quarry.

It was difficult if there was a causal relationship between the appearance of King Gordian and the fall of the Sky Whale.

‘I clearly remember it as having nothing to do with it…’

There was nothing to say about the parts that unfolded differently from the original game.

Still, isn’t it too much to give King Gordius a gimmick related to the sky whale?

Quests related to King Gordius appear after a certain period of time, and if you leave the quest unattended, the power of the boss, King Gordius, becomes stronger.

That’s why it was notorious among Dream City users.

It doesn’t end there. King Gordius is the boss of the Death Touch style.

What I mean is that even in the Dream City game, players and allies who are repeatedly attacked by King Gordius turn into gold and die without any mercy.

In the case of companions, if they defeat King Gordius, the golden state is released… but the player had none of that.

Thanks to this, users who rode the close combat build were very angry.

‘I was the type to wake up with an akimbo pistol, but… well, I guess the writer doesn’t have that much conscience.’

“Ah.”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

While I was deep in thought, Lund suddenly opened his mouth.

***

“It looks like Solas is coming this way.”

“Huh? Really?!”

Come to think of it, Lund and Solas were very close.

Although the representatives of the anti-lidocaine forces were friends with each other, the two men were especially close friends.

One is a vampire and the other is an elf, so both have granny memes.

Well, the conflict between 2nd place and Lund is also being called a ‘fight for hegemony between father and daughter in the Senior Citizens’ Party,’ so I wonder if there’s anyone who doesn’t feel treated poorly.

“But why are you suddenly here? Are other people coming too?”

“No, Solas is the only one coming.”

The other two said they wouldn’t help us conquer King Gordius this time, so I guess it’s only natural.

“Tskcha.”

I got up and headed to the window.

“…?”

What kind of coincidence was this? A speedboat suddenly appeared and was approaching this way.

Meanwhile, bounty hunters could be seen fighting among themselves far away from Sylvia’s bar and house.

“…Lund?!”

“I guess it’s already here.”

Lund had a nonchalant expression.

“No, but isn’t this too fast?”

“I guess he said it when he came nearby.”

“Oh, is that so?”

That makes sense. That’s the reaction of Lund, who has known Solas for a long time.

While watching the speedboat approaching, Sylvia also came out to the living room.

“…What is that again?”

“Well, why… There’s the Serotonin Science CEO that I met last time.”

“Ah, you mean him.”

Come to think of it, didn’t Solas say he would help us with our work?

I immediately told Sylvia about it.

Relations with the Ildong office were also normalized, and the situation was that Lund and Solas were helping with this matter.

“…Things are turning out better than I expected.”

“Right?”

Seeing Silvia nodding her head at my words… I thought she would agree with the plan to conquer King Gordius.

Yes, in a sense, this is a meeting with Solas!

“Then I think it would be better to go down right away?”

“Uh, is that so?”

The moment I turned my head to hear Lund’s opinion.

Someone knocked on the door. When I looked towards the window, the speedboat that was coming towards me had already disappeared.

“What, have you already come up from the bar?”

I said that and headed toward the front door.

Before we knew it, Lund, who looked like a wolf carrying Silas on his back, followed us, and Silvia followed us.

Meanwhile, someone outside knocked again.

“Wait a minute! Wait a minute!”

I opened the door with a clunk, and as expected, Solas was waiting in a calm manner for the door to open.

“Hello?”

“Hello!”

When Solas asked, tilting his head slightly to the side, I answered straight away.

‘Yes, this is Solas.’

Flowing blonde hair and pointed ears sticking up as if to reveal their presence.

Eyes that give a comfortable feeling rather than overwhelming people.

When we first met, he had the same cold gaze towards me as Lund, but now he seemed to have become gentler.

Perhaps it was the influence of Lund hearing about me?

“Solas, welcome.”

“It’s been a while since I saw you like that.”

Unlike Solas, it was a strange feeling to see Lund welcoming her with a similar indifferent expression as when they first met.

Of course, this seemed familiar to Solas, so she bent down and approached the wolf-like Lund and stroked his head.

“Don’t do it.”

“Hehehe.”

Lund’s reaction wasn’t much different from mine.

Nevertheless, Solas laughed it off as if he was in a good mood.

“Mr. Solas, this is my second time seeing you.”

“Ah.”

Meanwhile, Sylvia, who was behind us, also said hello to her.

The greetings of the two people had a decidedly more business-like feel compared to the previous greetings.

***

“If possible, I would have treated you at a bar.”

“Oh, it’s okay.”

Afterwards, Solas clearly stated the purpose of his visit: that he had come to see Lund.

When Solas came out like that, Sylvia had no choice but to let him into the house.

I changed into my bat form and joined Scylla’s side.

Meanwhile, Solas looked at me and Scylla riding on Lund’s back in a friendly manner and smiled brightly as if it was cute.

“What is that smile?”

“Oh, it’s nothing~”

It seemed that Lundman, the person in question, did not know what was going on on his back.

We started watching TV in the living room while Sylvia prepared tea for Solas.

“I’m tired of the news!”

“Huh? Still, there is no channel more interesting than news, right?”

“That’s Chris’ idea!”

“No? Is it true?”

Somehow, even though a guest came, I ended up behaving like normal with Sheila.

“Ah, that’s…”

The moment I was trying to make an excuse to Solas and Lund.

Sheila took advantage of that moment and ran away with the square remote control in my hand.

“Yaaah!”

What suddenly happened made me violent and I forgot to make excuses and started chasing Scylla.

‘Ah, that’s so bad!’

Even as I chased Scylla, I could clearly see what Solas would think of me.

“Looking at you like this, you look like a kid.”

“It’s not like a kid, it’s a real kid.”

Lund nodded and sympathized with Solas’ honest sentiments.

“Lund, I’m glad you’re doing better than I thought.”

“…Does it look like that?”

Lund looked at Solas in disbelief.

Solas nodded, enjoying seeing Lund like that.

“If William and Alfred hadn’t refused to help me this time, I would have refused.”

“Yes, I guess so. Thank you for that.”

Lund knew Solas well, and Solas knew Lund well.

“I decided to help anyway, but there is something I need you to know.”

“…?”

Solas spoke as if it were something the others did not know about.

“It looks like lidocaine has moved toward procaine.”

It was something that was never mentioned on TV news or anything like that.

Lund was curious about what Solas had to say, but did not press him.

“Did your uncles suffer?”

“Stavracius is dead, and Gorgo’s fate is unknown.”

The two people mentioned in Solas’ mouth were the younger brothers of Mikhail Langabes, the second ranked solver in Maguspol.

Stavrakius was the second son of the Langabes brothers, and Gorgo was the third son.

“Who is the youngest uncle?”

“There hasn’t been any news about that yet. There will be some movement soon.”

When Sheila and I returned to the living room, we were already talking about another topic.

Of course, the fact that they both reached the same conclusion did not change.

There is no room for laziness in this matter related to the Sasau Quarry.
