153. Jury (4)

After stopping by Zion’s shop and getting plenty of Kungdi Pang Pang and samples, and even getting a nice service from Mila at the next shop with her forked tongue, I returned to my lodgings to soothe my complicated feelings.

And after dinner, he briefly stopped Sia from taking off her clothes in the room and called the group to the room.

I briefly talked about Roy’s situation and meeting Julie.

“Ju…Jury? Is she pretty?”

“What, how much?”

“Oh…!”

“If you keep pushing, you’ll get hit hard?”

“Well… I still miss you.”

Claude’s fuss and.

“Jury! Did Jury really come to the city?”

“Sister’s friend?”

“Yeah!”

Lauren’s expression brightens at Sia’s question.

“Oh my, Lauren’s friend? Then she must be an elf?”

“But why didn’t you come right away…”

“You said you used to live in the city, so there must be some circumstances.”

“I see!”

Except for me and Claude, the women who didn’t know about the rumors about Julie were happy to see her, thinking she was simply Lauren’s childhood friend.

“Um…”

And Roy, who looked slightly nervous at the news.

“There won’t be a big problem for Roy and his family either. Since Tanya and I haven’t talked about why we quit or what we’re going to do after quitting, I’ll just give up and follow their whereabouts.”

“Then maybe it would be best to go back into the labyrinth..?”

“That method is a bit hard to rewrite.”

“Why?”

Tanya must have felt uneasy like Roy.

Tanya, who was sitting next to Sia and Lauren, is now sitting next to me and Roy, looking at me.

“Before we started exploring, I told you not to stop by your house and join us, but to meet us right in front of the tier transfer hall. It’s still unlikely that you’ll find your lodgings here.”

“Ah…”

“At that time, 5 out of 7 of us had our statuses raised, so people around us were surprised, and it was a little bit difficult, but… there are few people who remember the details of what happened in the class transfer hall where so many people came and went.”

“Since I came straight from there to the accommodations here, it will be hard to figure out the route.”

“That’s right.”

That was why I met Roy and Tanya at the square where the level transfer hall was and went straight to explore.

Although he was sensitive to information, if it reached Roy’s ears, who was just working at the top, it meant that the pursuit was faster than expected, so I needed to assume that they were right in front of me and make it difficult for them to find their path.

Fortunately, according to Heukhyung’s information, he was still in the process of asking around, so if he didn’t get the location of the lodging, he would probably just keep hanging around the lodging for a while and then give up.

“Brother Roy, how much money do you have saved for living expenses?”

“Uh…”

Roy rolled his eyes at my question.

“2 gold 50 silver or so?”

“Really?”

“After we found a house, Tanya found a job right away, and after I found a job, I barely spent the money I had at the time.”

“Oh…”

If I remember correctly, it cost 8 gold to buy a prosthetic limb and a house out of 12 gold, and he gave me close to 2 gold as a thank you, so I didn’t spend the remaining money and even had more money saved up.

“Then, let’s stay here for a while and eat in the room.”

“Um…”

Roy seems troubled by my words.

“Accommodation here is cheap. Even if you rent a double room for a month, it will be a little less than 8 silver. Since breakfast is included, if you include the rest of the food expenses, it will be around 30 silver?”

“Really?”

Roy’s face lit up because I didn’t know the exact cost of accommodation since I had paid for Roy and Tanya’s accommodation yesterday.

“When I was mentoring him before, the place he stayed at was so cheap. Usually, the room rate is cheap and the food is expensive, so that’s about it.”

“I see.”

He seemed a little embarrassed, thinking about the cost of lodging at the fancy hotel where Robin and Tanya had stripped Roy in the past.

Roy’s face relaxed upon hearing the cheap price of Uncle Frank’s lodging, and Tanya, who had been earning her own money, smiled at the cheaper-than-expected lodging price and looked at Roy.

“Honey, I have some silver saved up as an emergency fund just in case. Let’s use that first.”

“Tanya?”

Roy is surprised by Tanya’s confession.

“Tan-!”

Clang-!

Tanya, who sometimes gives me back tips(?) and keeps the remaining money, carefully opens her pockets and shows me the money.

“This…this is…!”

“It’s not much, but I’ve been saving up to buy what my child needs and give Roy a gift~”

Although she had given more to him, Roy, who did not know the truth, had only been nagging Tanya to spend money on gifts, but he was moved to see her become more energetic.

“Tanya….”

“Roy….”

Even Lauren and I, who knew the truth, were a little taken aback by Tanya’s all-out acting that gave off the aura of a good wife and wise mother.

Certainly… this is what drives Roy crazy, other than sex and nights out, in order to manipulate him more perfectly.

Tanya… scary kid…!

It was a fucking piece of shit that I thought I should have tamed a long time ago, in my previous life.

“Then, since I have a route for information, let’s look into it little by little, and let’s not leave the dorm until your family members calm down. Should we think about the next exploration?”

“Oh! Okay, Cain, are you going in right away?”

“Me too. S…status!!”

Thanks to Sia’s daily blessings to her colleagues, everyone’s abnormal obsession with exploring has disappeared.

However, Claude, who had always wanted to improve, welcomed the next exploration, and Lauren also began to actively talk about the exploration with the intention of raising her own status.

“First of all, why isn’t Lauren’s status increasing?”

“Um…. Well? Is there any reason?”

“I don’t know!”

“Me…Why am I like that too…”

Claude, Sia, and Lauren look completely clueless.

“By any chance….”

People’s eyes were fixed on Roy, who carefully opened his mouth.

“Roy hyung?”

“Ah, this is just an assumption….”

Roy, slightly embarrassed by the people’s gaze, mumbles and cannot continue speaking.

Although Roy is not a combatant, he has become more intimate with his comrades through this exploration, and he sometimes shares his opinions, even though he is not aware of it.

“Brother, it’s okay, talk comfortably.”

“That’s right, bro!”

“Roy Oppa!”

“That’s right, Roy, don’t worry.”

“Because I’m smart~”

Everyone looks at Roy and cheers him on, so he gains courage and speaks his mind.

“Lauren….your body is incredibly strong, isn’t it?”

“Lauren, call me Roy.”

Lauren, who has been actively encouraging people to talk freely since she started talking comfortably to people.

Roy continues speaking with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Ah… Oh, Lauren’s physical abilities are so much better than those of a normal human… That Cain, I explained the status to you last time.”

“Oh? Yeah, that’s right.”

“Is it like the status is given weight to the original physical ability? Anyway, I think Lauren’s original physical performance is so high that it’s especially hard for the status to grow given weight.”

“Oh…that sounds plausible?”

Roy’s words seem to make some sense.

Jangseongjong is not only elves, but other than elves, few people have seen him in the city.

Even Lauren has trained for such an ignorantly long time that her body has become inhuman, so Roy’s guess is probably correct.

Everyone cheers and cheers Roy on with an “Oh!” at my affirmative nod.

“Haha…”

Roy felt embarrassed by his colleagues’ reactions, and I looked around and spoke.

“Then, Lauren, let’s go to the labyrinth with the goal of leveling up and obtaining one more blessing rather than increasing her status.”

“Really?”

“I’ve already confirmed that you’re doing more than one person’s share, so let’s get one more guardian and challenge the 3rd level to reduce any possible variables.”

“3rd layer…!!”

Claude’s eyes sparkle at the mention of the three tiers.

“Oh, and when you challenge the 3rd floor, you’ll bring a new companion.”

“Colleague? Who?”

“Really? New colleague?”

“Who?”

Even Sia looked at me with sparkling eyes at the mention of my new colleague.

“Wizard.”

“Magic…! Whoa!!”

Sia’s eyes sparkled more than when she first saw Lauren.

“Wizard…! Are you from the Magic Tower?”

Lauren also had a curious expression on her face.

And Claude.

“Are you a woman?”

It was a consistent female bird.

“I’ll introduce it after Lauren’s level goes up, so everyone get ready for the next labyrinth.”

“Then, are you going in right away?”

“No, let’s go for about 2 weeks this time, leaving on the 10th.”

It’s tough to go on a full-scale exploration trip for almost three weeks every time, and since I’ve returned this time, I’ve spent more time playing than taking care of myself, so I need to start training again.

Everyone nodded as if they understood my explanation.

“Roy and Tanya, don’t leave the dorms after today, okay?”

“Okay, I got it.”

“Okay, I understand~”

The reason we set the date back 9 days rather than searching tightly was also to allow Julie to come to Lauren.

Then I should sneak a peek and ask Roy and Tanya to look after him.

After finishing the meeting, the colleagues each headed to their rooms, took off their clothes to have sex with Sia, and the two of them cuddled up on the bed.

“There’s Cain…”

“Huh?”

Malkang-!

Sia’s breasts, which always make me feel happy, are pressed against my upper body as she looks up at me.

“Wizard~ Are you a girl?”

Creak-!

I feel like Sia’s intuition is getting better and better these days.

I felt a slight chill at the feeling of strength entering her slender fingers as she held the book.
