Surprisingly, Noh Chang-hoon didn’t say anything.

They just tapped me on the shoulder a few times and told me to guide them if there was a base or something.

To be honest, I thought I would get criticized for a few minutes, but it was unexpected.

But looking at his expression, it seemed like he didn’t feel anything at all.

If you leave this alone, what will happen later?

So I just told him the direction of the base and followed behind him at a brisk pace.

“Well, it’s true that it was my fault… ”

“No, it’s okay. There is nothing you can do about what has already happened.”

“Ugh… ”

“Besides, I heard you were caught by Margrave. What should I do?”

“I see… ? lol… ”

“And from what you say, it seems like you can fight, right?”

“… Huh?”

“If you can’t fight, the problem gets a little more serious.”

It was like that.

Just because Kang Si-woo comes doesn’t necessarily mean things will get better.

At least to catch Margrave, someone had to get his attention.

Only then will Kang Si-woo be able to focus solely on attack.

Moreover, the Duke, who is much stronger than the average Margrave, can only be one.

Only if we attack Noh Chang-hoon and myself, will we be able to do anything.

That’s why my condition was very important.

If you’re in a situation where you can’t just do a meat shield, you’ll need to re-plan.

But honestly, I didn’t think I could do a meat shield.

Wouldn’t it be nice to feel less pain because of drugs?

So I spoke honestly.

“I can do at least a meat shield.”

“Then I’m glad. I know you’re not feeling well, but I can’t let you rest.”

“Ah, but I don’t think I can just leave this alone… ”

“… What are you going to do?”

“I can play it anyway, so let’s pick this one up. How about it?”

“… Crazy bitch.”

“No, why?!”

There was no better way than that in this situation.

There’s nothing else you can do about this poison.

Plus, you don’t have to worry about getting hurt.

It would regenerate after eating and resting for a while, but that wasn’t a big problem.

Above all, I don’t think he came all the way here without any food, right?

So, I thought something would happen if I ate that.

Noh Chang-hoon won’t help you?

Even if that was the case, it didn’t matter.

As long as I get to the base, I can heat the fire and do it all by myself.

… Ah, I think it would be a bit scary to heat a knife on fire.

“Don’t think strange things, Yeji Lee. Just by looking at it, it seems like a stupid idea.”

“No, what?”

“Nothing will happen just because you cut it out.”

“Huh, but that doesn’t mean leaving it alone is the solution, right?”

“… Grump.”

“So, let’s cut just one part properly. If it goes well, we can cut other places as well.”

“Disinfect properly.”

“Yes, I will heat it up and do it. Ah, I have to go to the right here.”

Fortunately, the building used as a base was intact.

I was wondering if Margrave might do something while he was away.

Thanks to that, all I had to do was go inside and rest.

Noh Chang-hoon looked inside the building for a moment and said it was amazing.

“You worked hard. There are a lot of things inside.”

“Right? I had a hard time gathering the right things.”

“Food… what. I guess it’s a good thing I got at least that one here.”

“No, this is a good deal. How much I suffered among insects.”

“Yes, you had a hard time. So what are you going to do?”

“I have to do it.”

“Crazy bitch.”

No matter what Noh Chang-hoon said, I was planning to give it a try.

So I lit a fire on one side, heated up the knife, and waited.

Because I didn’t think anything bad would come from trying it once.

Besides, the effects of the drug still remain.

I thought it would be better to do it when I wasn’t in pain.

And there was dark blue blood, right? If I drained that blood, my condition might have improved.

So, while checking to see if the knife was fully heated, Noh Chang-hoon said,

“ By any chance, Yeji Lee, you’re not planning on steaming it while it’s hot, are you?”

“Huh? Eh, ay… Do you think I would do that? That’s because there’s no water.”

“I brought bottled water, so I can use one.”

“Thank you.”

Yes, if you heat it up and stab it, it’s actually torture.

When I think about it again, it was a stupid thing to do.

Anyway, I gently inserted the disinfected tip of the dagger into the affected area and waited.

I’m used to the pain now, but it was still hard to see the blue-black blood flowing.

If it was just dark red blood, I would say it was dead blood, but it’s dark blue blood.

It looks like you have some kind of fatal disease.

Thanks to this, I couldn’t help but moan every time I saw blood flowing.

“Ugh… ”

“What’s the problem?”

“The blood is dark blue. It’s strange just looking at it.”

“Okay.”

“Ugh, I hope folk remedies work… ”

Fortunately, this method seemed to work.

There are times when you have a bruise and when you prick it with a needle, the accumulated blood flows out, right?

This could be said to be a similar situation.

So it was quite fun to go later.

It didn’t hurt as much as I thought, and I felt pleasure every time I saw the blood being drained.

When things got like this, Noh Chang-hoon couldn’t refute it either.

Instead, he came with a knife and helped me take out the blood.

How can I get to places I can’t reach?

Thanks to this, it became quite a funny situation for a while.

A man and a woman in their prime are groping a woman’s body in a narrow building.

If I only briefly explained the situation, everyone would misunderstand.

After a few more minutes, I was able to remove even the last trace.

Of course, just because the marks were removed didn’t mean everything was over.

Perhaps because the poison had just been removed, his physical condition was not normal.

It’s been quite a while since I couldn’t play something properly.

Noh Chang-hoon also seemed a bit surprised and his expression was not good.

So I made a joke.

“Do you really want to die?”

“I do it because I could die.”

“This is a joke.”

“It is not credible to say that while bleeding all over the body.”

“Ugh.”

“Be quiet and stay still while wrapping the bandage.”

“Yes, yes. I’ll stay still.”

Because he stayed still like that, Noh Chang-hoon moved very skillfully.

I thought they would just bandage it, but that wasn’t the case this time.

Perhaps they judged the situation to be a bit serious, so much effort was put into it.

Still, he was competent, seeing as how all the bandages were wrapped in just a few minutes.

If it were me, it would have taken a little longer.

“But you can just wrap a bandage, but you even disinfected it?”

“Why.”

“No, whatever. I thought there would be no need for disinfection at this point.”

“Even now, if you make a mistake, you’ll be hooked.”

“… Is that so?”

“And I thought it would play quickly, but that wasn’t the case.”

“That’s right.”

Noh Chang-hoon sighed heavily and took out something to eat from his bag.

Just by looking at it, it was clear that I was going to eat it, so I didn’t hesitate.

Even though I didn’t eat as much as I could, it would still be enough to prepare for the next battle.

While I was eating, Noh Chang-hoon suddenly started explaining.

Well, I wasn’t surprised because he always does that.

The content was nothing special. Since I called Kang Si-woo, I’m pretty sure he’ll be here within today.

And he even told me not to worry because there was another way to contact him.

Since that was the case, there was no need for me to say anything more.

Kang Si-woo is not like me.

If you say you’re going to get here, it’s obvious that you’ll get there without any problems.

It was clear that Noh Chang-hoon also knew this and gave a rough explanation.

So now all that was left was to wait for him to come.

“So what do we do now?”

“Do I really need to do anything?”

“No, whatever. If I had nothing else to do, I would just talk about what happened so far.”

“Try it.”

Although it was said to have happened in the meantime, this was not a topic to be discussed at length.

The Margrave came in person. Possibility of the fifth and its brothers.

Because if I only talked about these two things, there wasn’t much to talk about.

Besides, Noh Chang-hoon knows these things better than me.

Rather than adding additional explanations, it was better to leave him alone to think.

And I wasn’t wrong.

Not long after, Noh Chang-hoon opened his mouth.

He probably came to a conclusion in his head.

“First of all, like Yeji Lee said, the Maggraves in this area are no longer Maggraves.”

“Right? I told you so. There is a possibility of becoming king or queen.”

“Not to that extent. Duke… I guess that’s about it.”

“But the duke didn’t appear properly in the story.”

“I took everything into consideration, such as power balance. While planning the settings, I also wrote down Duke’s standards.”

“Really?”

“If the King and Queen are areas that cannot be explained by science, the Duke is not yet at that level.”

“You mean you can compete with him?”

“Yes.”

Well, it seemed like it could explain that superpower to some extent.

If I were to explain it scientifically, I could give a reason.

You could say that you can make plants grow as you like using ingredients that promote plant growth.

Now I can explain how to deal with bugs.

As Noh Chang-hoon said, it means that he is still at a level where he can compete.

Then there was no need to worry any further.

Kang Si-woo is coming. Join him. And together, they defeat Margrave.

The main character of the original, the author of the original, and I are together, so who can challenge us?

So this was like a victory for us. Actually, that will happen.
