Episode 36. Preparation(3)
8.
Wow!
“Is this really the boss monster?”
“I think so… … .”
The two women looked curiously at the golden slime bouncing on the floor.
“You want me to catch such a cute kid?”
Hearing Dabin Hwang’s words, I approached the gold slime.
“Lee Si-woo?”
Pwp!
As I approached, it started to increase and decrease.
“Dangerous!”
Dabin Hwang’s shout was heard.
I didn’t care and approached the gold slime.
In the previous episode, I attacked this reaction because I thought it was trying to attack me.
At that time, I remembered being embarrassed when the slime fell down more easily than I thought.
I still haven’t forgotten the look in the slime’s eyes as it disappeared after my attack.
At that time, this guy was feeling regretful about not being able to become friends with someone he hadn’t seen in a long time.
So now I know. What kind of reaction is this reaction where the number increases and decreases?
This guy was happy to see us now.
“You missed human touch, right?”
What?
As I stretched out my hand, the slime started shaking left and right.
“what? “Isn’t it dangerous?”
“uh.”
I found out later that this guy was a monster that had served its master.
And now, he served as his master the man called the Seven Heroes.
“Let’s go out together.”
Wow!
At my words, the gold slime jumped up and onto my hand.
At that moment, I felt a warm energy approaching me, and when I turned to the side, I saw Selina coming next to me.
“cute.”
I was quite surprised because the distance was quite close.
“What is it? This is the first time I’ve seen a monster that follows people.”
Dabin Hwang also came up to me with a curious expression and looked at the gold slime.
Kkkkkkk?
The gold slime repeatedly expanded and shrunk in size, as if it was happy to see people after a long time.
“Do you like this?”
“I think so.”
Selina asked in response to my answer.
“By the way, Lee Si-woo. “How do you know this isn’t a boss monster?”
“I never said no.”
“what?”
“So this cute slime is really the boss monster of this gate?”
I nodded at Hwang Da-bin’s shout.
“He’s the only monster here. In other words, it is a boss monster. “There is just no hostility.”
“… Do you see anything like that?”
I nodded.
‘Well, he can even see his favorite color.’
Leaving behind Hwang Da-bin, who was mumbling like that, I looked around.
It was to find the item I wanted. During the second time, it was definitely around here.
What I was looking for here was the gauntlet that ‘the strongest’ had thrown away inside the gate.
In the second round, I defeated the slime, grabbed the gauntlet that was lying around, and exited the gate.
First of all, I had to find the gauntlet, so I glanced around.
However, there were no missing items.
‘Did I come too soon?’
The second time I visited this gate, I was in my third year.
Is it because it came two years earlier than then?
I tilted my head to see if the location of the item had changed, but the gold slime jumped out of my hand.
Pwp!
As if it knew what I wanted, the gold slime started moving towards me as if telling me to follow.
As we followed the slime, we were able to find three boxes.
“what is this.”
“compensation… “I think so.”
Even though I didn’t defeat the boss monster, I got the gate clear reward first.
9.
“Let’s open it.”
It was time to reap the rewards of all the hard work.
“We can each choose one, right?”
As I watched the two of them showing off that it was their first time entering the gate, I was the first to approach the box.
“Let’s open it first and see what comes out.”
As I said that, I reached for the middle box among the three boxes.
I feel sorry for Dabin Hwang and Selina, but I could see everything inside this box.
That’s why he moved first.
To get the item I want.
When I reached for the box, it opened by itself.
At the same time, a system message appeared.
Of course, only for me.
[‘The strongest gauntlet’ has been obtained.]
found.
“Oh, what is it?”
An item called ‘Slime Food’ came out of the box opened by Dabin Hwang, and a ‘gold coin’ came out of the box opened by Selina.
“Gold coins… … .”
Dabin Hwang looked at the gold coin that Selina had picked up with an envious expression.
“Lee Si-woo, what did you come up with?”
“me? Gloves. “I just needed it and it worked out well.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
“I’m not sure yet.”
Pwp!
At that time, Gold Slime rushed towards Dabin Hwang.
It seemed like Hwang Da-bin was coveting the item he was holding.
“What, do you want this?”
Pwp!
With those words, Hwang Da-bin opened the item called ‘Slime Food’.
There seemed to be quite a lot of ‘slime food’ that looked like fruit.
When Dabin Hwang picked up one of them and threw it to the slime, the gold slime looked ecstatic.
That moment.
[Intimacy with the boss monster ‘Gold Slime’ has reached 100.]
[You have cleared the gate.]
A system message appeared before my eyes, and soon a door leading outside appeared.
“What, was feeding it a condition for clearing the gate?”
I chuckled at Hwang Da-bin’s mumbling.
There were several ways to clear the gate.
The first is how to defeat the boss monster.
It’s the easiest way.
The second is how to satisfy the boss monster.
The owner of the gate was ultimately a boss monster that existed in the gate’s boss room, and if you satisfied the boss monster, you could clear the gate.
When this fact was discovered and the gate was reopened, there was an awakened person who was taking the boss monsters with him.
Thinking of my trainer, Kang Ha-rin, I stood in front of the door leading out.
“Well, good things are good, right?”
“What should he do?!”
I said while looking at the gold slime that had suddenly climbed onto Dabin Hwang’s shoulder.
“I have to take you with me.”
So we finished exploring the first gate.
***
“It was a success, but… … .”
A woman wearing white clothing contrasting with the darkness was holding a wine glass.
“Wu Jihan blew himself up?”
The man standing behind the woman answered the woman’s question.
“Yes, it is.”
“That is commendable… “Who interrupted you?”
“They say Yoo Da-hee was there.”
Talk. Talk.
At the man’s words, the woman began tapping her fingers on the armrests of the chair.
“Awakening… … . “Is it time to turn it over?”
“I think the new students who entered school this year need to be especially careful.”
“okay?”
After hearing the man’s report, the woman put her lips to the wine glass she was holding.
The woman, who had a sip of wine in her mouth, thought about something for a moment, then swallowed it and spoke.
“Was there a child we were raising at Awakening High School?”
“yes.”
“Then tell her. I will visit you sometime soon. “Also, tell them to make a list of useful new students.”
“all right.”
In response to the man’s answer, the woman muttered with a cold smile.
“You will pay a heavy price for messing with our children.”
As the woman murmured, the man standing behind her felt the air around him turn cold.
10.
After leaving the gate, we realized that more time had passed than we thought, so we quickly went down the mountain.
“that’s interesting.”
As Dabin Hwang said, I looked at the gold slime clinging to Dabin Hwang’s shoulder.
“I really can’t see it.”
Dabin Hwang responded to Selina’s words.
“I can feel it, but I can’t see it. “That’s amazing.”
A slime that understands people and hides itself.
“But was the slime a monster that could use invisibility?”
“Even if it looks like that, it’s a boss monster.”
Hwang Da-bin nodded at my words.
“Anyway, are we going back to school like this?”
At Selina’s words, I looked at the two.
It was definitely a long-awaited outing.
‘At times like this, chicken and beer while enjoying the fresh air outside is perfect.’
Come to think of it, I gulped when I realized that I couldn’t drink since I had returned to being a student after the reset.
Drinking alcohol was something that students were not allowed to do.
Why isn’t there something like that?
If you don’t do something, you want to do it more.
‘I don’t know if they will follow what I say… … .’
I didn’t think it would be a bad idea to bring it up once.
“Are not you hungry?”
For now, I turn my attention to food.
Dabin Hwang and Selina nodded to my question.
Well, I went hiking at lunch time, so I haven’t eaten anything until now.
I was definitely hungry.
“Then shall we go eat some chicken?”
Hwang Da-bin’s eyes sparkled when he heard the word chicken.
“I agree!”
“What about Selina?”
“I agree too, I’m hungry.”
Sigh.
I said with a repentant smile.
“The weather is cool, so should we eat outside?”
“good!”
Coincidentally, there was a river near Gakseong High School with a nice view.
“But how do you order chicken?”
Of course it’s delivery.
I called a nearby chicken restaurant and ordered two chickens, then left them behind and headed to the convenience store, pretending to go to the bathroom.
“If I buy it, they will have no choice but to drink it.”
When I arrived in front of the convenience store to buy alcohol, I took a deep breath.
Starting now was important.
Since I didn’t look young at all, I thought I could buy alcohol if I spoke well.
rattle.
‘Why are you so nervous?’
Entering the convenience store, I naturally went to the liquor section, took out three cans of beer, and headed to the checkout.
The clerk wearing a hat looked at me.
Although I was nervous on the inside, I held out three cans of beer without showing it at all on the outside.
At that moment, the clerk’s eyes seemed to sparkle.
“Please show me your ID.”
I smiled brightly at those words.
He clearly expressed his liking for the term ‘ID card check’.
Normally, older people like it when their ID is checked.
“Identification card? Haha, thank you. “At this age, I do all the ID checks.”
As I said that, I searched my pockets and looked at the clerk.
Because there was no way I had an ID.
Maybe it’s a student ID.
“Oh, ah, I’m sorry. I think I forgot and left my ID behind… … .”
After acting out my repentance, I realized something when I saw the clerk’s expression.
‘f*ck, I’m screwed.’
rattle.
It didn’t work at all.
In the end, having only bought a Coke, I returned to where Hwang Da-bin and Selina were with a dejected expression.
“uh?”
However, Dabin Hwang and Selina were not the only ones there.
I saw several men in black suits standing around the two women.
When I saw that, I started to walk hastily.
Because I was worried.
Of course, I wasn’t worried about Dabin Hwang and Selina.
I was worried about the men in black suits and quickly approached them.
“Wait, wait!”
Selina and Hwang Da-bin turned to me at my shout, and the men started glaring at me who suddenly appeared.
