First Home Clan

[Key to the Great Demon’s Seal] (!)

I took it out.

The Key pulsed.

It throbbed like a heart.

I opened the information window of the exclamation mark.

[Key to the Great Demon’s Seal]

[Discovers the Dream Great Devil.]

[The Dream Great Devil is a relatively free-roaming Great Devil, and the Dream Great Devil is the Dream World itself.]

[It possesses invincible power limited to the Dream World, but conversely, its power over reality is the weakest among the Great Devils.]

[Using the Key can temporarily summon the Dream Great Devil into reality.]

That’s what it said.

In summary, using the Key means that [Dream] can be summoned into reality and weakened.

[Dream] has the weakest power in reality among the Great Devils.

“….”

“What does it say?”

“It says it allows you to summon the Great Devil into reality and start a raid.”

“Nice.”

“Is it a good thing?”

[Dream] may be weakened in reality, but for someone who was trembling in fear of the Great Devil to say this.

“You can’t fight it in Dreams, but you have a chance in reality. Considering that level 100 is the upper limit, did it look like level 100 to you?”

“….”

Level 100.

Well.

“I’d have to meet a level 100 to know.”

“I guess so?”

To anticipate the strength of level 100, I don’t even know the actual strength of level 80 yet.

Chris and Hong Joo-ah’s levels are 81, but their strength seemed more like the strength of their Awakened Ability.

“Still, you’re not going to not use the Key, are you? I guess the reason why it didn’t react during the Bronze Golem Dungeon but reacted this time is because there’s a reason.”

“Reason?”

“For example, the minimum conditions to catch it have been met. It’s not just about level. If you look at the system, levels are only applied to the Hero. Maybe the system recognizes the Hero’s actual strength like a Monster, not just by level.”

So, it compares it to [Dream] and estimates whether it can be caught, and then activates the Key.

That’s Cappuccino’s analysis.

“Well, it’s mostly speculation. It’s up to you to decide whether to fight or not.”

“….”

I roll the Key between my fingers.

Decision or whatever.

Of course, I’ll do it.

But now is rest time.

I don’t know about myself, but Chris and Hong Joo-ah might be tired.

There probably weren’t any Monsters like [Dream] in reality either.

Judging from their reactions, this was probably the first time they had seen a stronger enemy than themselves, including in reality.

“Not you?”

“Me…”

More than that.

“…You.”

“Yeah.”

Cappuccino nodded before Amel could finish speaking.

“I can read your thoughts regardless of the ring. It would take too long to explain the principle. Just think that’s how it is!”

“Then…”

‘Does that mean I can say this?’

‘Of course. Thanks to your hard work, I didn’t lose my power.’

I lost, but there were gains.

I put my hand on her green hair.

“You’re a good girl.”

“Hehe, you can praise me more.”

I stroked her head.

“But do you know what’s even better?”

“Good thing?”

“Win.”

‘(Ta-da.)’

Witch Win appeared.

Her body was semi-transparent.

It was a familiar face.

“Win?”

‘(Yeah, it’s me. Witch Win, who killed you twice. I thought we’d see each other again someday, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon?)’

It was Win.

Was it floor 25?

The one I froze to death there.

Win waved her hand as if she was glad to see me.

“I can see what you see and hear what you hear now. Conversely, I can see and hear what you see and hear, so the information window is now visible to me too.”

“Ooh.”

“Of course, I can’t bring it up myself.”

“Still, it means you’ve been upgraded.”

I rubbed Cappuccino’s head a little harder.

She tensed her neck and paused.

“I feel a little bad that I’m the only one who benefited. Chris and Jua didn’t get anything, did they? Should we do it again if I ask?”

“Hmm…”

Chris and Hong Joo-ah were collapsed on the nearby floor. Even if I wanted to ask, I had to wake them up first.

I could guess without asking.

‘More than that…’

It’s not good to keep them lying on the street.

Cappuccino read my mind.

“Let’s go back to the accommodation first.”

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

Amel carried Chris.

Cappuccino carried Hong Joo-ah.

Each of them carried the other according to their size and left the Alley.

As we left the Alley,

[Key to the Great Demon’s Seal]

Lost its light.

When I went back to the Alley,

[Key to the Great Demon’s Seal] (!)

“….”

It seems that it can only be used in the Alley where the Alley Dungeon appeared.

Amel, who returned to the accommodation, moved rooms and rented an entire 8-person room.

Amel, Cappuccino, Chris, Hong Joo-ah. And Caramel, Nanos, and Lilietta, who were waiting at the accommodation, were all moved to the 8-person room.

After moving, I entrusted the care of the four to Cappuccino and Caramel.

I left the room.

‘(Hehehe.)’

Win followed.

She used the principle of [Dream World] that connects Dreams and Dreams, but I didn’t know the detailed theory.

Win spun around and around against gravity, making me dizzy.

It felt a little awkward.

I knew that Win had been by Cappuccino’s side all along, but she was almost non-existent, so I didn’t know how to treat her now.

‘(I’ve wanted to talk to you ever since you defeated me.)’

‘(Even when I was sealed in the Demon King Stone, I expected to be your accessory and be with you, but I never imagined I’d be in a pet ring?)’

‘(It’s not that I dislike Cappuccino. It was an opportunity to learn more about Dream Magic, but I still wanted to be with you.)’

‘(The way you never gave up and defeated your enemies was the Hero herself.)’

‘(If you only keep genius Witches like me by your side, you can take off with the power of Magic on your back. Magicians are definitely at a disadvantage in combat, but Magic isn’t weak! You’ve experienced what happens if you have enough time to use Magic, right?)’

…I have.

I almost died from it on [Floor 25].

No, I died.

‘(The biggest weakness of Magic is casting, but if I become your accessory, that weakness is as good as gone. You use your body, and I use my head.)’

‘(Hehehe, I’m already looking forward to it.)’

‘(From now on, it’s the heyday of you and me!)’

Win kept talking non-stop.

Whether I paid attention or not.

She chattered without calming down her excitement, and I felt like I knew why Cappuccino didn’t mention Win as much as possible.

Listening to her, I naturally let it go in one ear.

‘First of all.’

‘(Yeah, yeah. What is it?)’

‘Can you shut up?’

‘(Heeing. You say the same thing as Cappuccino.)’

Well, that’s right.

Anyway.

“Wow… did you see that?”

“Was there a woman like that?”

“I think she came recently?”

“Look at her chest.”

“Her face is more…”

It’s been a while.

I recently benefited from the robe that Mew gave me as a gift, but I forgot to take it off during the nuclear explosion.

I couldn’t put the robe away in time and was fissioned.

The clothes I brought from Gospel were used up in the past battles.

The clothes I’m currently wearing are a shirt and pants. Tang So-hye recommended and bought them because they fit my body quite well.

Thanks to that, my waist and chest are emphasized, so I was going to avoid wearing them as much as possible, but I had no choice but to wear them if I didn’t have any clothes.

I’ll buy clothes while I’m out, but will I remember properly when I come back?

I don’t have a hobby of buying clothes, so I’ll probably forget again later.

Anyway,

Amel’s appearance was noticeable.

Her chest was the first thing that caught their attention,

Then her body was the second.

Her face was the third.

Each time people’s gazes went from the first to the third, the feeling in their eyes became heavier.

“Excuse me.”

“….”

I pretended not to notice.

‘(She’s attracting attention just by walking.)’

Win giggled.

‘(I feel good when I see people looking up to me. Even though it’s not directed at me, I’m monopolizing you, whom others envy, right now? Right?)’

‘….’

‘(You’re pretty. I always thought that being someone else’s possession was something I had to endure, but I never imagined it would be such a happy thing.)’

‘….’

Win hugged Amel from behind and wrapped her arms tightly around her neck.

‘(I think it’s a waste to hide this beauty.)’

Then Win saw something and smiled.

“Stop right there!”

“….”

A man stood in front of me.

How many times has this happened since the game started?

I’m sick of it.

Should I kill him?

But there were too many eyes on us right now.

If there were no eyes…

‘(That’s going to be difficult? He’s just a Native. You don’t kill Natives, do you?)’

“….”

The other person was wearing fancy clothes.

There weren’t many NPCs who wore those kinds of clothes.

A Noble.

The Noble man stood proudly with his hands on his hips.

Two knights, who seemed to be escorts, followed and found the Noble man.

“Young Master! I told you not to wander around alone!”

“Am I following you? You should follow me well.”

While the Noble man was chattering and scolding the knights, I turned to the side.

But the Noble man followed and blocked my way.

His face was flushed,

“I fell in love at first sight!”

“….”

“Become my bride!”

“….”

‘(Kuhuhu!)’

Win burst out laughing.

‘(Fell! In love! At first sight! Become! My bride! Hahaha!! I never thought there would be someone who actually said those words! I guess people are born with good looks. Only very pretty girls like in novels can hear those words.)’

‘It’s not something to laugh about? If you’ve heard everything from Cappuccino’s side, you know my situation, right?’

‘(You used to be a man? But you’re a woman now. If you go back to your original form when you return to your original world, enjoy being a woman now.)’

‘I’m heterosexual.’

‘(You’re a woman, he’s a man. Heterosexual, right?)’

‘….’

‘(Haha. I’m just kidding. Personally, I like it better if you like women! There are many yuri Witches. I’m more attracted to women than men too.)’

‘…That’s not what I meant.’

My head is starting to hurt.

Cappuccino has been hugging this kind of person all along?

I’ll have to get her something delicious when we get back.

Win, who read my mind,

‘(That’s too much.)’

She pretends to make a sad face and mixes in a playful laugh.

Then the knight whispered to the Noble man.

“Young Master, it seems that she is hesitating because she doesn’t know who you are.”

She’s not hesitating.

She’s just embarrassed.

“Ah! Was that it!”

The Noble man flinched.

He introduced himself proudly, as if he finally understood.

Self-introduction.

Is listening to these things one by one a habit or a personality trait?

Amel couldn’t bring herself to break the manners.

Even if the other person broke the manners.

“If I may introduce myself, I am Bertle Ferbla, the heir to the Ferbla County. Among the Heroes, I am the largest shareholder of the Martial Arts Alliance and provide enormous support to other Clans. Even the Clans bow their heads when they see me.”

He was full of vigor.

It was a bluff.

Natives might bow their heads, but Summoned Heroes wouldn’t.

Still,

Martial Arts Alliance?

Clans?

“What about First Home?”

I don’t want to cause trouble for Chris.

The Noble man’s eyes sparkled.

“Are you affiliated with them? Then I’ll invest right away! How much do you need? I have a lot of money.”

“….”

Did I make a mistake?

I corrected myself.

“I don’t need it. Propose to someone who is at your level. Don’t propose to me.”

“You’re worthy of being my bride!”

I shook my head.

“The opposite.”

“Who dares to oppose my words!”

“What makes you think you can match me?”

The Noble man was about to say something, but his lips shriveled.

Amel’s expression contorted as if she saw something disgusting.

“Martial Arts Alliance Daeju? Heir to the County? Don’t talk to me with those pathetic titles. I thought you were going to say something, but it was a waste of time. If you block my way again, I’ll kill you.”

“….”

The Noble man shut his mouth tightly.

“Move.”

“….”

He reluctantly moved aside.

But the knight blocked my way.

“To the Young Master…”

I kicked him.

I told you not to block me!

I planted my foot in the knight’s abdomen, who was blocking me. The knight bounced up like a bouncy ball and swept the floor.

He’s not dead, is he?

I didn’t really intend to kill anyone who wasn’t a Hero.

I left Dwarfneer and met Jang Yu-ha of the First Home Clan.
