“…This is Hero grade equipment, right?”

I asked in surprise.

Then he whistled and said, ‘Really?’ Bora Moon says.

It’s literally ridiculous.

She was the one who proceeded with the appraisal based on common sense, so there was no way she didn’t know this.

I have a feeling that this was done on purpose.

As expected, these gloves.

This is the most precious and expensive item among the items offered as compensation.

“Hey, Bora Moon… No matter how you look at this, you have to use it…-”

“-I don’t like poetry…Seha, please write it.”

Well, it’s not like Junayong…

Why is my child throwing a tantrum all of a sudden?

We bickered for a while.

If other hunters had seen it, they probably would have laughed out loud.

Because we try to give up good things to each other.

In the end, it was me who raised the white flag.

They’re so stubborn, so what can we do?

‘Anyway, this is my first time seeing this equipment.’

At first glance, I only saw the hero level.

I couldn’t look into the detailed options.

―――――――――――――――

◉Name: Slusla.

◉Type: Gloves, Pet.

◉Grade: Hero

◉Special effects

: Permanently mental +2

: All [Affinities] you have and will gain in the future +10.

: The amount of affinity gained is doubled.

: If equipped even once, it becomes permanently attached. It cannot be equipped by someone else.

◉Inherent skills

[Slime’s Armory]

◉Detailed information

: Gloves used by the legendary Julius, the ‘contractor of all things’. As it was an item used by the original owner who was loved by all things, these ordinary gloves also became imbued with self and even the energy of life.

―――――――――――――――

“Fuuuk!”

“…Se, Mr. Seha?”

I’m so surprised that I can hear the sound.

Bora Moon hurriedly approached me and patted my back.

“Gwae, it’s okay…”

He raised his hand and smiled awkwardly.

At the same time, my mind was complicated in many ways.

Just looking at the gloves made me think, ‘Wow, what the fuck?’ It had so many amazing options that it made the sound come out.

What is especially impressive is the item labeled ‘Pet’ in the category.

In ‘Gothra’, ‘pets’ are a category that are treated as very difficult equipment and creatures.

Commonly, a weapon with an ego called ‘Ego Sword’ is also classified as a ‘pet’ by its origin.

‘It’s the kind of thing that’s very damned.’

The majority of pet equipment is more effective than its grade.

Now, just looking at this glove, I don’t think it’s a hero, but it has the performance of a Unique, which is a level above it.

‘The affinity you have, and the affinity you will gain +10?’

This is a truly insane number.

How great this is, when you acquire the Epic level skill called [Mesto’s Magnifying Glass], the increased [Vampire Affinity] value is 5.

But this just means that all types are always corrected by +10.

‘Wow, it’s Jiri…’ ‘

In addition, the [Affinity] gained in the future will also be doubled.

If it were a class where bonding with summons and adjusting stat increase were essential, the performance was such that this would have been used as a finishing touch.

[Innate skill] was also useful here.

‘Subspace system skill!’

To be more precise, it was a skill that opened a subspace where only ‘weapons’ could be stored.

There is only one number that can be entered.

Consumables such as potions or miscellaneous items could not be added.

The equipment stored in this way is switched and replaced with the ‘currently used weapon’ when the skill is activated.

As a test, I registered the [Saint’s Sword] that was on my waist.

Let’s raise the dagger and activate [Slime’s Armory], Jijijik! The equipment was replaced in an instant with a sound.

‘… Wow, Mr… ‘

Isn’t it barely a switching ability? Although you might want to.

Considering the number of strategies possible with this, it was not an ability that could be considered simple.

The opponent can suddenly change weapons and adopt a completely different strategy. What a great skill to catch off guard.

‘It even matches my growth perfectly.’

As someone who learned various ‘weapon skills’ knowingly or unknowingly through [Eyes of the Reverse Sky], there was a high probability that I would learn [derivative skills] that could only be used as dedicated weapons in the future.

Because of that, I was worried about having to carry around all kinds of equipment like .

This has alleviated some of that worry.

‘Once replaced, the cooldown is 10 minutes.’

There was no mana consumption, and the change speed was reasonable, so it seemed like it could be used in practice at this level.

The cooldown is a bit long, but where is this?

As a bonus, I don’t know why.

[Shield] was also possible.

Like Mnyangi, it can use attack types such as [push] skills, so it seems to be evaluated as a ‘weapon’.

‘but… ‘

It’s all good…

One thing bothered me.

Because the capabilities of this equipment…

It was definitely the ability of a guy I knew.

‘Kim Min Soo.’

Villain, ‘senior’ clan member of the Mine mixed clan .

Hidden among NPCs with its unique harmless appearance and quiet behavior.

A bat-like guy who continuously sends information and disrupts the situation.

As you progress through the story, you will fight him.

I don’t know exactly what he was, but he was a fighter who fought based on the volume summoning unique to the class and surprisingly good close combat.

Additionally, I kept switching weapons every few minutes and did a lot of things that irritated people…

‘I thought it was a skill, but it turned out to be an effect of the equipment.’

This made it clear.

The main story lines I knew were twisted.

Normally, these gloves would have to fall into his hands.

Then an important hypothesis crossed my mind.

‘… Could it be this incident?’

Originally, the story would have ended completely with the collapse of the dormitory.

In fact, the dungeon did not collapse, but did the villain clan, including Kim Min-soo, attack this place during the quiet period?

It was reasonably plausible.

In fact, there was a story told by a deceased person who had beaten the entire story and started the second episode.

―Everyone, that guy Minsu Kim. There was a bit of a difference in specs before and after … Didn’t you take some kind of elixir?

At the time, it was thought that the specifications had increased simply through story correction, but when looking at the cause-and-effect relationship, it was more reasonable to think that this opportunity was gained.

“Congratulations, Mr. Seha.”

“uh?”

When I was lost in thought for a moment.

I stopped thinking at the words I heard.

Bora Moon, who was watching, smiled brightly and clapped her hands.

“You were recognized by your pet, right? Because you used [Innate Skill].”

Oh, I forgot, but items in the ‘Pet’ category can only be used if you prove the owner’s qualifications.

I put it on and used it without much thought…

This means that I am now recognized as the owner.

‘… … ‘

I looked at the gloves in silence for a moment.

I have somewhat complicated feelings…

‘Rather good.’

I decided not to think about it too hard.

Since I appeared here in the first place, the future can be very different.

Now, I have decided to reduce the power of and focus on how much stronger I have become.

By the way, I feel really sorry for Moon Bo-ra…

“…Hey, Bora Moon…this is it too…”

“What are you talking about when you are already registered as the owner? Don’t worry about me.”

Moon Bo-ra smiled brightly, as if she was happy to be of help.

I was heartbroken by that smile, so I searched for what was left.

For a moment, one thing stands out.

‘huh?’

A necklace with a soft blue glow.

Strangely enough, I lifted it with a feeling of wonder as it contained a jewel that looked like coral.

‘Oh, is this really possible?’

I was convinced after seeing the cooking.

It was definitely an item I knew.

―――――――――――――――

◉Name: The Little Mermaid’s voice.

◉Type: Necklace

◉Grade: Rare

◉Special effects

: Horsepower +3.

: Affinity of ‘summoned beasts’ with ‘water’ and ‘freeze’ properties permanently +5

: Slightly more efficient horsepower efficiency becomes possible. Slightly reduces the magic power consumption of the skill.

: Increases the owner’s ‘obsession’. ‘Obsession’ targets a specific person, and as the obsession increases, the owner’s abilities increase. Obsession becomes more resistant as the owner’s mental level increases.

◉Detailed information

: A necklace with a legend about it being made using the voice of a mermaid princess who fell in love. It amplifies the owner’s power in exchange for strange aspirations.

―――――――――――――――

[The Little Mermaid’s voice].

It was a product recommended by all instructors who were raising in the community.

As you can see from the description, there was a very unique option.

It stimulates the mental desires of the wearer.

Our instructors often called this ‘jeongbyeong item’.

Oh, don’t get me wrong.

The tone is like that because it is an open culture unique to the community.

Actually, if you think about it, it was a very good item.

‘An option I can’t believe is rare.’

Not only did his magic power increase by 3, but his affinity, which was difficult to obtain, was also permanently increased by 5.

In particular, Moon Bo-ra’s ability to deal with was [Freeze], so it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have some affinity.

If you’re lucky, you might be able to make a contract with a ‘spirit’.

Originally, it was supposed to be a hero-level item, but the last option acted as a kind of demerit, so it was downgraded to rare.

‘But it depends on what you use.’

[Obsession] was the mildest desire among mental desires.

Unlike bloody options such as anger, madness, and slaughter, it simply increases the desire for something.

And Moon Bo-ra is a character famous for having a high [Spirit] score.

In other words, there was a high probability that the demerit would become a merit in reverse, raising the ability level to the level of ability, and not being affected much.

‘As long as it’s not worn full-time 24 hours a day… ‘

There was no problem at all.

Moon Bo-ra is not stupid and there is no way she would wear this all day long.

“Moon Bora.”

“Uh, yes?”

“Stand in front of the mirror over there.”

Bo-ra Moon tilts her head at my words.

I flinched at the gesture telling me to try it, and slowly walked in front of the mirror.

Just like that, I hung [The Little Mermaid’s Voice] around her neck.

A beautifully crafted blue necklace is wrapped around a pure white and slender neck.

The shimmering light, like a pearl in the sea, makes Moon Bora’s off-white color stand out even more.

“How about this? This option is just right for you.”

“……”

Bo-ra Moon looks at the necklace without saying a word.

He fiddles with it with a red face, but then starts to flinch.

He took off the necklace and placed it on my hand.

“…Moon Bora?”

“I am…”

I don’t deserve this.

*

‘… no.’

Moon Bo-ra’s first emotion.

Can not be done.

Such a beautiful thing should not be in one’s hands.

It’s not a story about the value of the item or anything like that.

Yoo Se-ha, no one else.

He walked it himself.

He chose it himself.

I’m happy…

I’m excited, but…

‘That’s why it’s even more unacceptable.’

You don’t deserve this.

She is an unscrupulous woman who doubted and tested him.

On that topic…

On the topic of not being able to pay off all of my debt…

I couldn’t even receive this kind of grace from him.

Even if it is a reward from conquering a dungeon together, it must not be allowed.

Bo-ra Moon closed her eyes tightly.

Then Yoo Se-ha’s finger approaches his forehead.

Just-!

“evil!”

“Uh huh.”

Yoo Se-ha, who threw the dakkong with a solemn expression, looks on with a scary expression.

“Again, you thought it was strange, didn’t you? You thought something like this didn’t suit someone who had doubts.”

“……”

“Why do you care? I told you, I forgive you. You don’t have to be sorry.”

“…but.”

Yoo Se-ha sighs deeply and smiles bitterly.

“Anyway, I have a lot on my mind… I know very well that it was a situation where you might have doubts in many ways. So don’t feel too guilty.”

“…Seha.”

Moon Bo-ra swallows back tears that are welling up a little.

She responded to Yoo Se-ha’s words as if crawling.

“…Are you really…forgiving me?”

“uh.”

“…Can I really trust you? You won’t hate me?”

“uh.”

Bo-ra Moon lowers her head.

Even Yoo Se-ha put on a necklace.

He smiles and raises his thumb while pretending to do so.

“Goes well.”

“…thank you.”

Yoo Se-ha.

*

like that…

Moon Bo-ra’s guilt is alleviated, and each other’s feelings become stronger to some extent.

The equipment that came as a reward is also divided among each other, etc.

That time when everything ended well.

There was one unexpected problem.

This is Moon Bora’s residence.

To be more precise, it was the distance to the temporarily assigned accommodation.

“It takes about an hour to walk from here, right?”

“Yes, it’s a hastily prepared accommodation… Even if we’re freshmen, the distance is a bit far.”

The distance between her accommodation and this place was quite long.

It wouldn’t really matter if it was daytime, but now it’s midnight.

When I looked out the window, it was drizzling rain.

It seemed a bit difficult to go back like this.

“I can’t.”

“huh?”

“There’s a cafeteria downstairs, so I’ll order some coffee there and take a quick nap.”

Moon Bo-ra was speaking indifferently, but my expression became even more distorted.

‘… … what?’

what?

As a character…

In front of the instructor…

Boldly…

“…You want to stay out?”

“…Yu, Yoo Se-ha? Pyo, your expression… looks a little scary?”

I think I will understand this right away after receiving the mirror treatment.

I thought I knew why Mnyang held my hand and told me to go to sleep.

That’s right.

This isn’t really right.

Suddenly.

I grabbed Moon Bora’s hand like lightning.

Then he spat out words as if driving a wedge into the panicked woman.

“Go to sleep.”

“…W-Neng?”

“Here today.”

Go to sleep.
