Do you know how high Mt. Baekdu is?

It’s a whopping 2744m.

Of course, compared to Mt. Fuji, which is over 3,000 meters high, it doesn’t seem to have faded, but the fact that it is higher than any other mountain on the Korean Peninsula has not changed.

Why are you telling me that story now?

Well… I just want to let you know that the mountain I have to climb is that high.

To be honest, if I were an outdoor person who enjoys exercising and has good athletic ability, I might be able to climb a mountain like this with ease, but I’m not that type of person.

Of course, I was doing light exercise consistently to grow as a glamorous person, so I wasn’t an indoor person at all… But that doesn’t mean I could climb a mountain over 2,000 meters high with my weak body.

Because the course our group had to take was not a typical hiking trail.

In fact, it was at the level of advancing by pioneering a rough terrain with no path.

Of course, that’s what mystery is, but it’s common to find it in places where there are few people.

The same thing happened to the Unicorn Elk.

No. Even so, do we really have to live in such a steep and shabby place?

Not an elk, but a mountain goat or something?

“Haa. Haa.”

Perhaps because he was concerned about me breathing heavily, Suho slowly slowed down his brisk footsteps, moved behind me, placed his hand on my back, and began to slowly push me, adding strength to me.

“Thank you, Suho. But aren’t you having a hard time too?”

“It’s okay, sis.”

“Phew. Then, I’ll lean on you just a little.”

Here, as the older sister, it’s right to set an example for Suho… but if you try to show off your pride when you’re so exhausted and get in trouble, it’ll only be more of a nuisance.

Although he was pushing me with only a little strength, it felt like a big help and I told him how grateful I was.

“Suho. Thanks to you, I have strength. Thank you.”

“I’m glad it helped.”

“Yeah. Hehe.”

By the way, it seems like Hinamori-san doesn’t get tired.

You’re walking alone in front of there.

Watching it perfectly balance on its two feet on a steep terrain that could hardly be called a path, one could almost doubt whether it was a person or a mountain goat.

The guardian guy was also quite surprised by her amazing movements, and was letting out a small exclamation behind her.

“Wow… . That’s really amazing.”

“Huh… . Okay.”

Why am I so weak, even though we are both elders? Is that woman using blood magic?

Since he was able to perform magical magic that warmed up the human body, it would be quite possible for him to strengthen his own body or motor skills.

… Even if that were true, it wouldn’t change the fact that she was running around the mountainside as if it were her own home, using her own abilities.

As I continued to walk, barely following her footsteps, I was able to look up and see Hinamori-san, who had been hurrying along, suddenly stop.

“What’s going on?”

Both Suho and I tilted our heads in confusion at her behavior and approached Hinamori. She glanced at me and Suho with a blank expression, then said something pleasant while listening.

“Arrived. I can feel the unicorn elk harvest in this area.”

“Really!?”

“Yes. More precisely, I should say that I can smell the target’s blood.”

“Uh… Hinamori-san, can you tell the difference between people by the smell of their blood?”

“It’s an elder’s privilege. Maybe someday you can do it too.”

“I see… right?”

Even if you say so, I don’t think it’ll be possible… .

Anyway, there’s a kid living around here named Unicorn Elk.

As I climbed the arduous mountain path without rest, I forgot how tired I was and eagerly rolled up my sleeves to find my target.

The target is an animal belonging to the other world.

It definitely has a mystical or something similar vibe to it.

Personally, I think I’m pretty good at that kind of mystery exploration, so I thought I’d be able to find the guy right away.

Even with me was the experienced vampire, Hinamori-san.

She said that she was very interested in me and Suho and was taking us as research subjects.

You wouldn’t want to waste time in a place like this.

“Let’s speed it up a little bit.”

“Mr. Sky, please investigate the northeastern area with Mr. Suho.”

“Yes. Then, Hinamori-san… .”

“I will go towards the northwest.”

“Yes, let’s do that.”

As she said, we scattered and began searching the mountain path.

Just in case, I asked Hinamori how dangerous the Unicorn Elk was, but she only gave me a strange answer.

“I think you’ll be okay. … You’re a being that fits the image of a unicorn that people often think of.”

“Uh… So, you’re saying it’s not dangerous?”

“Yes.”

#10

Let’s skip the boring exploration and start with the story of how we encountered that terrible hybrid called the Unicorn Elk.

The Unicorn Elk was a creature worthy of its name.

When you think of elk, you think of the huge size and wide, large antlers that exist.

…the only problem is that it only has one horn.

If you say an ectomorph, isn’t it normal for a sharp, spiral-shaped cone to rise up?

It’s so weird because the deer has a single horn.

“Sister… . It’s bigger than I thought… . Isn’t it dangerous? ”

surely….

If you get hit by a guy like that, you’ll die instantly.

What on earth did Hinamori-san see that made her boast that I wouldn’t get hurt by that monster?

Wiggle.

“Ouch! It just moved!!”

The unicorn elk turned its large head toward us.

We made eye contact!

Aren’t you going to charge in like this and trample on me!?

My fragile body would turn into a blood clot in an instant?

Thud thud. The guy is walking towards me.

A large animal taller than me… no, it was as tall as a monster’s shoulders. And the shadow cast by its gigantic body was quite frightening.

“How on earth can you… get horns? Against such a monster.”

If it was the weird guy who infiltrated that school, I could at least try to pick a fight based on abstract rules.

These physical problems were a pain in the ass for me.

In short, he was saying that they were natural enemies.

Nevertheless, just letting things happen wasn’t my style.

I hurriedly took out tools from my bag that could be used to fight the guy.

The guardian tried to stand in front of me, as if he was guarding me, saying that he would somehow watch over me, but that seemed to only irritate him more. Unlike his usual calm demeanor, he now growled as if he were a carnivorous dinosaur and shook his huge horn threateningly.

What the heck is this crazy kid.

Why are you yelling at our guardian?

I quickly grabbed Suho and hid him behind me, and then he slowly started walking again with a calm expression on his face.

…Huh?

I push Suho forward again.

The bastard growls.

This time I try hiding Suho behind me.

The guy makes a calm face.

This kid…?

Was it a female bird?

Wait… What is the unicorn folklore… .

You said you liked pure virgins.

ah….

This crazy kid. He’s acting like this because I’m a virgin?

Only then did I understand why Hinamori had boasted that I would be fine.

… Oh. Now that I think about it, it feels bad.

That woman. Of course she thought I was a virgin.

My boyfriend was completely convinced that I was a single man who had never dated before.

‘I will not forgive you, Elder…’

The elders all have bad personalities.

It’s clear that his stature and personality are proportional.

With that determination, I looked at that crazy monster who lusted after a virgin while being a beast.

Do you like virgins that much?

This chewy.

Then give me your horn.

The naughty unicorn bastard who revealed the virginity definitely felt like he recognized me as a harmless creature.

No. Beyond that, it felt like I was developing feelings for him.

He’s the one who first rubs his big head on me, spins around, tilts his neck, and taps me.

I guess I was just showing my affection and teasing, but honestly… it was just disgusting for such a large beast to do such a thing.

“What the… . Why are you doing that.”

“Who, sister.”

Purrr!

Oh my. Even if Suho just talks to you, you’re being annoying?

Where are you on the topic of beasts? Do you think you’re all a monster?

We are the famous vampires.

Well… Even though I said that, I didn’t have the power to do anything to him right now, so I had no choice but to ask the guardian to call Hinamori instead.

I have no choice but to play with this female beast until Hinamori-san comes.

… But what if Hinamori isn’t a virgin?

Phew!

“Eww! Don’t stick your tongue out!! It stinks!”

Just stay still, please!

I sighed and took the unicorn elk’s head.

The difference in strength was so great that, although it was just a joke to him, I felt like I was sparring with a UFC champion in jiu-jitsu.

How much time has passed like that?

The guy sniffed my scent for a long time, then suddenly lowered his head and showed me his horns.

“??”

I wondered why it was showing off its horns, so I tapped it and shook it… and then all of a sudden! The horns suddenly fell off!!

Oh my gosh!! Are you freaking out because you pulled out your horn?

I hastily raised my alert level, ready to go on the defensive at any moment, but the thing, as if it didn’t care that its horn was pulled off, snorted once and disappeared somewhere.

“What is it…?”

“The unicorn elk was pleased with your play. As a reward, he gave you horns.”

As I was tilting my head in confusion at the incomprehensible situation, I heard Hinamori’s voice behind me.

If I play with you, you’ll give me horns?

Instead, the condition is that you must be a virgin… .

What a strange guy.

Is that why he’s a monster?

Anyway, this is how you get the unicorn elk horn…!
