episode_0027

The forest was cold in January. In weather like this, it’s best to read a book at home, but I logged in a long time ago.

The arrows flew in this direction, pierced the magic barrier, and fell with all their strength.

Do Yoo-geon asked as he was just looking at it blankly.

“Aren’t you going to catch it?”

When I glanced toward the goblins, I saw five archers shooting arrows at their bows. The arrow flew again, but it was blocked by the magic barrier and fell down. Clap clap clap.

“I’ll catch you.”

I should catch it, but it’s colder than that right now. I wore thick clothes, pulled up my scarf over my mouth, and covered my ears with a hat, but it was cold. To be exact, the body is warm, but the area around the eyes that are exposed to the outside is cold and painful.

When I touched the area around my eyes with my hand, I felt numb. want to go home. I don’t know what kind of trouble it is to hang out with Do Yoo-geon.

Using magic is closer to mental labor than physical labor, so I don’t feel greatly intimidated by the cold, but strangely enough, I just don’t like using magic. I just hate having to think about anything.

No, isn’t this a bit much?

Do Yu-geon bent his knees to bring them to eye level and looked intently at his face.

what.

“Don’t rush me.”

“I haven’t said anything yet.”

“anyway.”

I used my magic power to press down on the guy’s forehead and push it away. The guy was confused and then straightened his posture.

The arrow flew again. This time, I restored the magic barrier because I felt like it would break if left unattended. The arrows that hit fell to the floor.

I have to catch it. It would be better to catch it quickly and rest while eating a packed lunch in the preparation room. That’s right. That would really be better.

I pulled out a bunch of magic power from the grimoire placed on my head. I roughly compressed it and threw it at the goblins. The goblin shot an arrow to shoot down the magic, but it was avoided with some skill. There was an explosion. The goblins who had gathered in formation flew away.

The wind picked up in the aftermath of the explosion. Ugh, it’s cold. I compressed it for no reason and threw it away. One goblin that wasn’t dead stumbled and tried to get up, so I finished it off with a blast of magic.

“Let’s eat in the preparation room. It’s too cold to catch more.”

Do Yu-geon seemed to be trying to say something, but he didn’t listen and immediately logged out and then logged in and went to the preparation room. The temperature felt not warm, but not cold either.

I guess I’ll finally buy it now. I lowered the scarf that was pulled up to my mouth and took off my hat. While I was straightening my hair, Do Yoo-geon came.

“Is it that cold that you left without listening to the answer?”

“It’s cold, so you’re not cold? I guess you’re not cold.”

As I was looking at him, Do Yu-geon avoided my gaze and spread the mat on the floor. what. Did he look angry? It’s not that bad.

Sometimes, I don’t think anything of it, but the reactions of those around me are strange. Why are they doing that? Is it because you are usually pretty, cute, and attractive?

Umm. I’m not sure. You have to be a third party to know this.

I sat comfortably on the mat. Do Yu-geon arranged the lunch box and sat in front.

Today’s lunch box menu is a set of Vienna sausages and vegetables. I sprinkled the dressing on the salad, stabbed the lettuce, and ate it. The sauce is delicious. After all, my grandfather knows how to properly hire a cook.

When I looked at Do Yu-geon, he wasn’t eating and was just staring at his lunch box. What are you doing? I watched it for a while, but it stayed the same. What is it really?

Umm.

“You don’t like salad?”

I asked, but in all the time we’ve been together, I’ve never heard of someone not being able to eat salad. There was a salad on the lunch box menu just 6 days ago. You can eat it, but if you don’t like it, you probably won’t like it.

Do Yu-geon flinched and cleared his throat.

“No, no. Rather, ah! Have you seen the Exploration League’s offline meeting schedule?”

“Offline? Was this post posted today?”

“Uh, in the morning.”

“I didn’t visit the site today.”

“Then I don’t know.”

He explained that the Exploration League is preparing to hold an offline meeting. It’s only been 3 months since we had an offline meeting, so what are we doing?

“This time, someone reached level 25.”

The party’s experience distribution is divided into contribution distribution and personnel distribution. Person distribution allows you to receive experience points even if you do not hunt when other party members hunt. Do Yu-geon and his party are using a personnel distribution system.

It is said that a wealthy unemployed person took advantage of this by hiring 8 parties and conducting highly efficient hunting for 3 hours per party, receiving experience points for 24 hours. Moreover, before the gun ban, I went up to level 25 this time, or something like that.

“But when I hit level 25, a problem arose.”

They say that leveling up stopped when you reached level 25. An unemployed man with a lot of money thought about the fact that no matter what he did, the price wouldn’t go up. Should I go to the next room?

The preparation room has five doors. Each door is numbered in order: 1, 25, 50, 75, and 100. The current hunting location for all explorers is inside the door marked 1.

If you can’t level up in a level 1 room, wouldn’t it be okay to move to a level 25 room? Even if you try to open the door to the level 25 room, it won’t open, but what happens after you reach level 25?

The unemployed took action and the door responded.

“Preparing update.”

This means that an unemployed person with a lot of money lost his money. This story heated up the Exploration League bulletin board for a while, and then an important speculation emerged.

If it’s true that the system focuses on the number 25, wouldn’t what happened at level 1 evolve and happen at level 25 as well?

Just as a slime suddenly appeared in the middle of the city at level 1, wouldn’t it be possible for a goblin to suddenly appear in the middle of the city with a sword at level 25?

To put it mildly, it’s a goblin, and what if an acid slime appears and melts the pillars of the building?

This speculation has been discussed since the beginning of the fantasy phenomenon, but this time it was different from previous discussions in that it added credibility.

But that’s the case.

“What does that have to do with offline meetings?”

“You don’t know what. It’s very important. What should explorers do if such a situation occurs!”

Do Yu-geon raised his hands exaggeratedly. What does this mean?

“What does an explorer do then?”

“hunt!”

“You know, the police. I heard their armed forces have changed these days.”

Do Yu-gun made a sullen expression.

“Miss Cha Ha-neul, there is no romance. Romance.”

“It’s just reality.”

“Then let’s go to a meeting to protect my fantasy.”

“It’s not that bad. It’s even worse because the weather is cold. I just enjoy fantasy while playing games.”

I picked up the salad and ate it.

“Don’t do that, let’s go.”

“It’s not that bad. If you’re going to go, go alone.”

Do Yu-geon looked intently at his lunch box and said.

“Then I have no choice but to take special measures.”

What action? As I was looking at him in confusion, he picked up a Vienna sausage with chopsticks and pointed it towards me.

“Ego.”

… … ?

What, what?

Do Yu-geon cried out as if urging him to do so.

I felt my face getting hot. What are you doing to shame people? I’m glad it’s just the two of us right now. If only there were other people here, ugh… … .

I feel ashamed just thinking about it.

“Eat quickly. My arm hurts.”

“…Don’t lie. It can’t hurt.”

“Because they don’t eat, my heart hurts and my arms hurt.”

Ahhh, what is this again? Is this a fool?

He used his magic power to steal Do Yu-geon’s chopsticks and Vienna sausages. I put the sausage back where it was and put the chopsticks on top of the lunch box.

Then he said something.

“What are you doing?”

“Special measures. We will take this until Ms. Cha Ha-neul agrees to participate in the meeting.”

When Do Yu-geon tried to lift his chopsticks again, he used his magic power to press down on them so that he could not lift them.

“Do you think I’ll be the only one embarrassed if I do this?”

Even though his face was red.

“It’s embarrassing, but it doesn’t mean you can’t do it. It’s worth a try.”

Don’t show confidence like that.

The guy struggled to lift his chopsticks, gave up, and said,

“But if it’s like this, I won’t be able to eat.”

“Then don’t do it.”

“That won’t work.”

“Then don’t eat it.”

“It’s too much.”

I glared at him.

“I’m hungry.”

ah.

really.

“Okay, okay. Let’s go offline.”

“Aja! You win!”

Do Yu-geon held a ceremony. Very handsome.

Then I finished eating my lunch box.

“But I’m glad. The wizard war skills have disappeared, so there’s no need to be wary of revealing the skill window when you go to a meeting.”

They also lie and lie.

After filling our bellies, we tidied up our mats. I guess I’ll have to go hunting again. Do Yu-geon took the lead and headed to the level 1 room.

Now that I think about it, it would be better to say this.

“Do Yu-geon.”

“Uh, tell me.”

“I’ve said it several times before.”

“If I said it before, wouldn’t it be better not to say it?”

“Because repeated learning is important. Anyway, as I said several times before, it’s inevitable that he likes me because I’m attractive.”

“You’re overly self-conscious.”

It may or may not be so.

“The human mind has no limits, so mistakes can be made. However, no matter what the mistake is, from the perspective of the one who suffers….”

Because it would be unpleasant.

“I don’t have to say anything more, you know?”

“It’s called hyper-self-consciousness.”

* * *

I sat in my school chair and read the paper on my desk.

Career planning and life planning.

It’s homework. In a few days, we will be on vacation after the first year, and now we are finally getting something like this.

I tried to finish it quickly during break time, but it was slow. That’s because I usually didn’t think about this. That’s because he is a middle school student now.

It feels like I was asked to predict the future 10 years after graduating from middle school, high school, and college, and describe a job that would be suitable for investment. I would like to tell them that they should get it right.

ah. What should I write in the occupation column?

Clearly, right after becoming aware of my past life, I had the will to live by actively using my past life, working hard on self-development, and making progressive plans. I don’t know how it ended up like this.

The moment you realized that even if you didn’t do anything, you wouldn’t have to worry about food, clothing, or shelter for the rest of your life?

The realization that in your past life you lived without passion or anything, just by inertia, and that your current life will be the same?

Rather, what do you really write in the occupation column?

“What are you doing, my lady?”

Yumina came and looked into it.

“Job? Job is blocked first? Strange.”

“what?”

“You can just write down anything, such as owner or CEO. As long as you have a group to inherit, it’s easy to write down your life plan as well.”

“That’s a bit….”

If I write something like that and submit it, it’s obvious that my grandfather or father will see it.

“What did you write? Are you also a judge?”

“No. I really hate judges.”

Your father is a judge.

“Really? Then a prosecutor or a lawyer?”

“I hate the legal profession.”

Do you have any dreams of being from a legal family and hating it?

“then?”

Yumina showed the paper she was holding in her hand. Nothing is written.

“I tried to refer to what my lady wrote, but there’s nothing to refer to.”

I’m so sorry.
