Haaam-

“Well, don’t worry too much about the fact that there wasn’t much content in the book.”

Do Yu-jin said with a slight yawn in her voice.

“In the first place, I asked you to read it half for my personal boredom. Even if you don’t know it, it doesn’t really affect my actions.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Shigure nodded as if he was relieved by Do Yu-jin’s words, but his expression was slightly gloomy.

I thought it would be helpful, but in the end it didn’t really help.

It looks like a large dog with its tail hanging down.

Do Yu-jin felt a little bewildered as she watched Shigure like that.

‘No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like it would go well with a secretive job like a ninja.’

I have never seen things like technology in person so I have nothing to say, but that is what I thought from what I saw so far.

‘A ninja whose inner feelings and thoughts are all revealed through his facial expressions and actions… … ‘

Looking at this, I even thought that Shigure’s actions of wearing a mask and disguising himself as a man and creating an iron wall between himself and everyone around him were a pretty good choice.

If it hadn’t been wrapped so tightly, it would have definitely looked awkward somewhere.

Swish-

With that thought in his mind, Eugene reached into his shadow and took out a box of donuts.

Looking at that sight, Erio opened his eyes slightly wide.

“Eugene, you could do that too.”

By the way, seeing this, Erio thought that Doyujin had opened some kind of subspace through the shadow, but this was her misunderstanding.

In fact, it was simply opening a door leading to the property realm.

In short, instead of opening the refrigerator door to get a refrigerated donut, you opened the door to the Siberian plains.

Someone who doesn’t know anything might tilt their head and wonder if what Do Yu-jin just did wasn’t more amazing.

But if someone who knows the truth heard this story, they would click their tongue and say it was a waste of magic and labor.

Opening a door connecting to the property realm?

It sounds grandiose, but it’s actually simple enough that even beginners can do it if they have the tools.

Of course, sending only a part of the body to the attribute realm with only one medium, like Do Yu-jin did just now, without any preparation, was somewhat difficult.

But that’s exactly why it was a waste.

If you use subspace, there is no need to go through all that trouble.

‘It’s not even the only problem.’

Do Yu-jin said that when she had previously entered the shadows, she felt a certain flow filling the space, wrapping around her body as if it had a will.

It wasn’t just a matter of feeling or a feeling, but because of that, when he stored things in the attribute world, the stored items disappeared somewhere without a trace.

And this is the decisive reason why even the most skilled people cannot use the attribute world as a warehouse for their own subspace.

‘Well, since I have an overflowing talent for the dark attribute, opening doors isn’t that bothersome, and the darkness listens to me well, so it doesn’t really matter.’

By the way, this is also the reason why Do Yu-jin can take things out with just one hand.

If he put his hand in and stayed still, the flow that filled the space would read Do Yu-jin’s mind and hand him the thing he wanted while waving.

Yum yum-

When Do Yu-jin was eating the donut she had just taken out, Erio was looking at her as if he found it strange.

“What, you didn’t even know that?”

Yuna, who had been quiet, smiled and said.

“You sloppy lightning, you don’t know anything about your sloppy dad?”

Snap-!

A tiny blood vessel popped out on Erio’s forehead as he heard Yuna’s words.

At the same time, her hair rose slightly as if it had been struck by static electricity.

Whatever.

“Is that obvious? Even if we’re close, we’re just friends at best? We’re not the same family as me, right~?”

No, rather, that’s why Yuna smiled even more, raising the corners of her lips and revealing her fangs.

“Huh? That’s about the level of a sloppy lightning, huh~?”

While Yuna was busy teasing Erio with one hand on her mouth.

“Oh my, didn’t I tell you not to do that?”

A low voice stopped Yuna.

The moment Yuna quickly turned her head after hearing him, Do Yu-jin, who was behind her, grabbed her soft cheek faster than she could.

Zuuuk-

Without hesitation, I stretched it out to both sides.

“Miyaat!”

“Phuhut!”

Watching Yuna scream in excruciating pain, Erio slightly raised the corners of his lips and poked Yuna’s side with his finger as if taking revenge for what happened earlier.

A tiny gesture that seems too exaggerated to even call it a knock.

But every time Yuna was stabbed by Erio’s hand, she felt a stinging sensation as if she was hit by static electricity, and she had to tremble all over her body.

Shigure, who had been staring at the sight with a puzzled look for a moment, belatedly noticed the golden lightning surrounding Erio’s finger.

‘Are those two on bad terms?’

Shigure thought so without realizing it, but after taking a moment to look closely, it didn’t seem to be the case.

‘They may seem friendly, but they fight and bicker, and they may seem like they have no relationship, but they seem to be connected by some strange string.’

If I had to explain that relationship, how would I say it… …

Bad friend?

‘No, rather, is it family?’

Thump thump-

“Profit, you sloppy lightning!”

“What do you want me to do?”

“Haa, that’s what I told you not to fight.”

Well, even though they were a family, it wasn’t a typical family. It was more like a family where a stay-at-home dad took care of his two daughters.

Phew-

Do Yu-jin, who had barely managed to stop the two, sat up and said.

“Now that I’ve heard everything you were curious about, I’m going to rest a bit in preparation for dinner. You guys, you guys, rest on your own in the meantime.”

“Huh? Is it okay if I don’t prepare anything separately? Or maybe training or something… … ”

Could it be because I suddenly heard news a little while ago that I would be entering a dungeon?

Shigure said with eyes filled with a hint of anxiety.

“Well, I did all the basic preparations yesterday. But since I’m going into the dungeon for the first time in a while, I thought I’d at least do some weapon maintenance… … ”

Do Yu-jin said, swinging both arms lightly.

“I slept strangely last night, so my body feels strangely heavy, so I’m just going to sleep.”

Shudder-!

At those words, the two who had been glancing at each other flinched and trembled.

Do Yu-jin couldn’t see it because her back was turned.

Gyaut-?

It was clear to Shigure’s eyes.

“Uh… …You slept wrong?”

“Yeah, maybe it’s because of the mosquitoes.”

Do Yu-jin said, lightly scratching the slightly swollen area with her hand.

“Really?”

Shigure glanced at the slightly swollen marks on both sides of Doyujin’s neck for a moment, then turned his gaze away.

Then, in that brief moment, the two people’s reactions seemed to have become a little more intense.

Looking at that sight, Shigure pondered for a moment about what to do, then quickly came to a conclusion.

‘First of all… …I guess it would be right to help you?’

If I continue to hang out with Do Yu-jin in the future, I will inevitably end up doing things with those two more often.

So I thought it would be a good idea to use this opportunity to raise my favorability rating a little.

“Then, is there anything you want me to order you around?”

“Hmm? Oh, there is one.”

Doyujin hesitated for a moment before speaking after Shigure changed the subject.

“Can you ask your dad to do some light sparring?”

“Daily training?”

“Yeah, by the way, the opponent is him.”

When Do Yu-jin pointed at herself, Yuna tilted her head.

“Um… …I’ll ask, but honestly, I’m not sure if he’ll do it. My dad’s a bit of a free spirit.”

“It’s okay, if you have a conscience, you’ll do it.”

Shigure nodded without realizing it after hearing Do Yu-jin’s words.

Certainly, something like that had happened with Do Yu-jin a little while ago, and she had even said something to him that he didn’t understand, but it didn’t seem like she would refuse a request to spar.

‘But don’t you both think of me as a burden?’

Shigure got up from his seat, grumbling quietly to himself.

“Oh, and tell your father that I won’t let him get hurt even once.”

“Okay. I’ll make sure to tell you.”

While they were talking like that and Shigure was burning with the will to get revenge, Yuna, who heard Doyujin’s words, was delighted for a moment and then snuck closer to Erio and whispered in his ear.

“You sloppy lightning, you shouldn’t mess with my sloppy dad when I’m not around?”

“I hate it.”

Yuna was annoyed by the firm answer and let out a strange noise.

Erio made a proud expression without showing it because he was satisfied with Yuna’s reaction.

“Then let’s go.”

“Hey! Remember it well! Don’t forget it!”

As the two people disappeared, the room was naturally left with only the two of them.

The first one to speak was Do Yu-jin.

“Sorry, my daughter is spoiled.”

“It’s okay.”

Erio looked straight at Doyujin and said.

“If it’s Eugene, he’ll do that much for me.”

Anyway, he knows me too well.

As Do Yu-jin grumbled inwardly, Erio opened his mouth slightly.

“Should I give you a lap pillow?”

“No, it’s okay… … ”

“Shall I do it?”

“… … Yeah.”

When Do Yu-jin nodded, unable to bear the pressure, Erio tapped his thigh as if telling her to lay her head down there.

As I laid my head there, a soft sensation was transmitted through the back of my head.

“Good night.”

Erio said this while lightly smoothing Doyujin’s bangs with his fingertips, just like he usually did.

Do Yu-jin closed her eyes without realizing it.

Swish-

When I opened my eyes again, the sky had already become early evening with a slight sunset tint.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yeah, thanks.”

It wasn’t an empty promise.

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to sleep without nightmares, so I feel really good.

“Okay, then shall we go?”

Do Yu-jin said as she stood up from her seat.

The purpose of this trip was to go and conquer the dungeon.
