Monster Hunter (8)

Echo and Vision’s attitudes weren’t going to change no matter what I said, so I decided to ignore them.

Even if Echo and Vision are awkward, it’s okay because I have Reina, Emma, and our guild members.

This subjugation also ended without any problems in one try, and after saying goodbye to everyone, I went straight to Monster Hunter.

One week.

I caught almost all the common monsters in a week.

Now it’s time to catch the Elder Dragon monsters, not just the common ones.

In Monster Hunter, Elder Dragons are monsters that haven’t been studied in detail yet and haven’t been classified, but their powers are so special and powerful that they’re called disasters.

In other words, they have a different level of strength than common monsters.

I’m wearing proper equipment now, and I’ve made a very large and cool greatsword as my weapon.

The farming isn’t completely finished yet, but that farming now has to be done with Elder Dragons.

I looked up information about Monster Hunter before going to bed in the evening.

Instead of looking for accurate strategies, I looked for what to do before catching an Elder Dragon.

Everyone said that the difficulty increases rapidly from Elder Dragons onwards, so it would be very difficult for a solo player to take aggro alone.

Honestly, I confidently went in thinking, “How hard could it be?”… but something’s weird.

The monster is too big again.

I’ve noticed this while hunting common monsters so far, but the monsters are strangely large.

Even when playing with Jindaru, Jindaru said that the monsters were much bigger than usual whenever he came to my server.

I naturally thought, “The monsters are a bit big because they’re new to me.”

But after occasionally entering Jindaru’s server and going back and forth between my server and Jindaru’s server several times, I came to a conclusion.

The monsters on my server are much bigger than the monsters on other people’s servers.

,I vaguely remember something.”

,Remember something? What do you remember?”

,The monsters on your server are unusually big compared to other servers right now, right?”

,That’s right. That’s what’s so strange.”

,There was a rumor in Monsa that the size of the monsters is adjusted to some extent by grasping the physical stats of the server leader.”

,Ah, really? There was something like that?”

,It’s just a rumor. A rumor. It’s not an accurate fact. Everyone was just expecting that to be the case. But…”

Jindaru scanned me up and down.

,Looking at your physique, it seems like that rumor might be true…”

,Even if I have top-notch physique, there must have been people with as much physique as me, right?”

I know that my physique is better than others, but even so, I don’t think I’m the best among the people who play Monster Hunter.

,You’re saying with your own mouth that you’re top-notch.”

,That’s a fact.”

Jindaru looks at me as if he’s dumbfounded, but I nonchalantly tapped Jindaru’s shoulder and said.

,So, did you gather the people?”

,Yeah. I gathered trustworthy guys.”

,Really? Tell them to come quickly.”

,Okay, okay.”

The monster we’re catching today is the Legiana, which was a representative monster in the old Monster Hunter.

As I said earlier, while looking for traces of Elder Dragons to try it alone, I saw traces of Legiana at a glance and looked for Legiana until I found it.

But like the Deviljho last time, I called Jindaru like this because I thought I absolutely couldn’t do it alone as soon as I saw it.

I naturally thought it would be okay if Jindaru and I caught it together, so I went to see Legiana together, and Jindaru immediately said he would bring his friends.

,Hello~”

,Greetings!”

Two hunters brought by Jindaru’s pick came into the camp, greeting us happily.

Me – Greatsword

Jindaru – Long Sword

Hunter 1 – Heavy Bowgun

Hunter 2 – Bow

This is the combination that was decided.

The funny thing is that everyone except me was using female character customization.

I, a woman, am using male character customization, and the men are using female character customization…

Huh? Is this normal?

==

We followed the traces of Legiana again and found Legiana.

Each of Legiana’s thorns is about the same size as my character customization in LeoRe.

The thought of it bursting out and attacking every time makes my blood run cold.

I think it will be scary and difficult, but overcoming that and catching a huge and strong monster is also the fun of playing Monster Hunter.

We all cheered and rushed to subjugate Legiana.

At first, the subjugation proceeded without any problems.

The problem arose after about 10 minutes.

Monster Hunter has no means of harming allies.

But it can make them feel uncomfortable.

That is, you receive a very small flinch from your allies’ attacks.

That small flinch breaks the combo or makes you stop for a moment when you move, making you feel unpleasant.

Usually, in the old days, people would bring skills that nullified small flinches.

But right now, I haven’t farmed enough to get those skills.

,This… it feels like they’re intentionally targeting me?”

The bow’s attacks and the heavy bowgun’s attacks hit me periodically.

The small flinches in between feel like they’re poking at my temper.

Jindaru said he brought his longtime gaming friends, but those bastards were all weirdos.

I didn’t expect them to interfere with me this much, even though they came through Jindaru’s introduction.

[Looking for Wingless Chicken, Broadcast ㄱ]

(Author’s broadcast link)

I’ve known Jindaru for a long time, and I’m going to invite him this time and turn on the broadcast.

We’re going to catch Legiana now, and we’re going to broadcast the torment of Wingless Chicken.

[Comments]

Wow, Jindaru was wrapping it up so tightly, I was feeling like shit, but this is awesome.

ㄴLOL ㅋㅋㅋㅋ We have to beat the shit out of the bastard who’s harassing our Arang.

ㄴLet’s make him quit Monsa ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Please don’t do this. This is crossing the line.

ㄴThis is?

ㄴAre you a T?

[Everyone, do it moderately]

Even if Wingless Chicken is a nickname that targets Arang, you shouldn’t be cursing this much just because of that.

Do you think Arang wants that?

Arang would definitely tell you not to do that.

[Comments]

Are you not a PD? Didn’t you see the post Arang wrote on the fan cafe? She said she’s angry because of Wingless Chicken.

ㄴThat doesn’t give you the right to criticize someone to this extent;

ㄴIs this bastard not a PD?

ㄴWhat’s a PD?

ㄴArms and legs

ㄴOoh

ㄴNot LI?

ㄴPD sounds better

We have to purge him. What can Arang do without a PD?

ㄴYou crazy bastard, don’t talk about our Arang like that

ㄴDid I say anything wrong?

ㄴHa… hopeless guy.

Scenes of Wingless Chicken being continuously flinched by the bow and heavy bowgun’s attacks and not being able to dodge Legiana’s attacks well and rolling on the floor were broadcast raw.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-So funny

-But why is Legiana so big?

-Probably a gold crown?

-Take the punishment for targeting Arang, you stupid bastard

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is he rolling on the floor all day?

,Ah, sorry. *Pfft*.”

When Wingless Chicken retreated to recover health, he intentionally tripped Wingless Chicken’s leg.

Wingless Chicken fell helplessly to the floor due to the unexpected blatant interference.

Wingless Chicken glared at the person who tripped him and went back to catch Legiana.

==

After subjugating Legiana, I stuck the greatsword into the ground and glared at the two hunters who came through Jindaru.

,Good job– Chicken-ah?”

As Jindaru was about to speak, I raised my hand to stop him.

,Hey.”

,Yes?”

,What the hell are you doing?”

,What did we do?”

,Ha? *Hoo*… these guys are really crazy. Why are you harassing me this much?”

,I really don’t know what you’re talking about?”

,Intentionally attacking from behind to cause flinching, and intentionally tripping me when I was backing away earlier.”

Jindaru, who was listening next to me, was furious at my words.

,What!? Hey, did you guys really do that!?”

,Hey. What are you talking about? Of course not.”

,Really?”

,Hey, do you believe that guy? You’ve known us for years, haven’t you?”

,You…”

Their attitudes seemed hopeless.

,Hey, just say it like a man. Why the hell are you doing this?”

I switched back to my old way of speaking and cursed at their actions of trying to move on to the political maneuvering that I hate the most.

I wanted to live as a clean and pure Arang while living as Arang, but those guys are bringing out the old me.

,We didn’t have any intention? It can happen while playing the game. Why are you reacting so sensitively? Don’t tell me you have paranoia?”

I was dumbfounded by their expressions and actions that clearly showed that they were maliciously plotting against me.

Jindaru doesn’t know what to do with the current situation.

This is inevitable.

From Jindaru’s point of view, they’re friends he’s been gaming with for years, and I’m someone he’s met less than a week ago.

But it’s clear that those bastards are intentionally harassing me.

,This is annoying…”

,If you were uncomfortable, I’m sorry~”

,Ha…”
