Episode 125:
When the doll stood up and spread both arms and took a blocking stance, Eundam Yoo lightly raised one hand.
“all right. okay. I won’t pry. But can you take me with you? “I also like attacking bosses.”
“That…”
I tried to refuse somehow, but Yoo Eun-dam spoke to me again in a gentle manner.
“Noona, Moa, noona. Please take me to the dungeon too. Yes?”
“Ha ha ha….”
I smiled awkwardly, breaking into a cold sweat.
stop. If you push it further, you have no choice but to lie in a staccato manner or spew out gibberish truths.
“Is it because you still feel distant from me? That’s right, sister, I keep talking, so please speak comfortably. We will continue to know each other from now on. And I think I’ve known you for a while. “I feel a little sad that you keep trying to stay away from me.”
– Fox cub.
Seo Ji-han, who was next to me, muttered in a voice that was barely audible.
But unlike him, I felt a little weak-hearted.
Perhaps because they are similar in age, I keep seeing Yoo Eun-dam overlap with Seung-ju.
It might be like the fate of someone who has a younger sibling.
“Is that so?”
It’s still a bit awkward, but I tried to explain it the way Yoo Eundam wanted.
Yu Eundam’s face brightened.
Well, it’s not as difficult as I thought.
Of course, Yoo Eundam is young and I’ve seen him be clumsy a lot, so I feel like he’s a bit easier than other people.
“Wow, I’m so happy because you treat me comfortably, it’s like you’re my real sister. “I don’t have a real family, so I always wanted someone close to me.”
“That’s right…”
Suddenly, Yoo Eun-dam felt very sorry.
He was at the age where he was playing games in the PC room with Seung-ju, but he had been going through dungeons since he was young and was stabbed in the back by a guild member he had trusted….
“Sister Eun-dam- “Can you please call me just once?”
Yoo Eun-dam smiled brightly and opened his mouth again.
– This bastard doesn’t know what to do. He really materialized…
Seo Ji-han raised his hand to stop him from growling lowly.
Why are you acting so sad?
“Eun-dam. If you call me like this from now on, “Isn’t it okay?”
Yoo Eun-dam, who opened his eyes wide for a moment, smiled as if he was about to melt and glanced at the Seo Ji-han doll for a moment. Since you care about
children so much, you notice them. Seo Ji-han, I told you to cherish your younger brother.
“Yes, please keep calling me that.”
As I was happily watching Yoo Eun-dam, whose spirit suddenly revived, I felt eyes on
me from the side. Seo Ji-han, who was shaking so hard that straws fell, was looking at me.
– Why. Why is it like that? Why?
“What is it?”
– I am still Seo Ji-han…
“Ah…”
That was it.
However, I had no idea that Seo Ji-han would care so much about his title.
No matter what title you call each other or how you speak to each other, the temperature of your relationship does not change.
But Seo Ji-han seemed to have different thoughts.
– Please call me Jihan too. Please feel free to talk to me too. huh?
yes? That’s not quite right.
No matter how much you say it,
it still feels a bit burdensome.
As I avoided my gaze, Seo Ji-han began to grow more and more sullen.
Before any unnecessary misunderstandings deepened, I decided to calm him down gently.
“I don’t think that’s right. As I said before, unlike Eundam, Seo Ji-han is older than me…”
The straw fluttered again.
Eundam Yoo burst out laughing at my words, then laughed and lightly lifted the straw doll. “ That’s right
. You’re older. Ah.”
Let’s stop talking in a way that adds to misunderstandings, right? Mr. Seo Ji-han, more and more straws are falling.
But Yoo Eun-dam spoke without hesitation, as if he had prepared his comment in advance.
“It’s true that you are older. What’s wrong? It’s not like my sister says my brother is old, or that he’ll be 30 tomorrow, or that he can’t play with me because the number in front of him is 3. Also, it’s not like my sister calls him Mr. Ah.
Every time Yoo Eun-dam said a word, Seo Ji-han’s head bent lower and lower to 160 degrees, 140 degrees, and 120 degrees. Even though I couldn’t
see his expression, I was amazed at the gloom that was clearly felt. Eun-dam,
stop. Yoo Eun-dam, stop
! “Eundam, wait a minute?”
While I was stopping Yoo Eun-dam, Ban Seo-hu, who had been quiet the whole time, quietly spoke to Ban Seo-jin.
“Are you always like that?”
“No, it doesn’t happen often.”
Those siblings are completely out of character.
In the end, the situation ended with Seo Ji-han mocking himself, saying, ‘I’m old.’
– I’m fine.
Are you really, Seo Ji-han?
Are you really okay?
A person who is about to die right now is deceived. You’re making an expression on your face that makes you think you’re lying.
Are you sure you’re being possessed by Eundam because he stabbed you with words?
“Mr. Seo Ji-han, I really didn’t mean that…”
– It’s okay. I have to collect it. It’s all true, but whatever.
Because Seo Ji-han was emphasizing that it was really okay, I couldn’t bring up the topic anymore.
Leaving him alone, Yoo Eun-dam, with a refreshed face, smiled brightly and opened his mouth.
“Now, let me tell you about our achievements. It’s not like we were playing around while my sister was catching Jirgis. “We have recruited quite a few hunters to join our side.”
“yes?”
“Don’t you remember? “A few days ago, Seohoo and I said we would gather together hunters we know.”
Of course I remembered it.
But the reason I was surprised wasn’t because I had forgotten that fact.
“You recruited the hunters?”
“yes. why?”
“Was there anyone following you?”
At my words, Yoo Eundam suddenly closed his mouth. Instead, Seohu Ban, who had been silent, opened his mouth heavily.
“What do you mean?”
Oh, that’s not it.
I instantly realized I had made a mistake.
In fact, they said they would try to persuade other hunters, but deep down they had little expectations.
Because from what I’ve seen so far, they aren’t the most trustworthy people, and if it were me, I wouldn’t really want to follow them…
Ah, anyway.
I had forgotten, but these two people were the guild leaders of a large guild.
Until I saw their unique side, I thought they were great too.
okay! These two were great people!
“yes? No, after all, they are people who previously led a large guild, so they seem to have leadership skills…”
I said half-true and half-excuse, but fortunately, Seohu Ban didn’t ask any more questions. Although
he looked at me with very persistent eyes as if I was putting pressure on him.
“Haha, you said that . “Even if you do, it’s not a large number. They are people I knew in the past when I was doing small-scale raids, and somehow we got connected.”
Fortunately, Yoo Eun-dam rescued me from that suffocating gaze with a cheerful tone.
“We used to run raids together before the three major guilds were created. I didn’t completely believe what they said, but they are people who hate the Daehan guild anyway.”
“There are quite a few people who dislike the Daehan Guild. No, there are.”
I said I could speak easily, but I’m still not used to it.
I could feel Seo Ji-han looking at me earnestly.
Even if he looked at me like that, I couldn’t call him Ji-han….
“I guess it’s a lot? It’s just because I can’t speak. “There are quite a few hunters from the Daehan Guild who dislike the upper echelons of the Daehan Guild because they are too high-handed.”
“Are the people who joined this group also people with a grudge against the guild’s attitude toward them?”
“That’s part of it, and I don’t like the fact that hunters have become like employees of the Daehan Group.”
Eundam Yoo scraped the whipped cream on the plate with a fork and answered in a calm tone,
“No matter how outstanding your abilities are, it’s annoying to have to look at them. You suddenly entered the hunter game and took over the entire hunter industry.”
“Hmm. To use an analogy, it’s like a feeling of rejection towards large companies that have taken over the market that startups were growing well.”
“It’s similar. The guild was running well before, but suddenly there was no permission to attack dungeons and the hunters were transferring to a large guild…” “It’s really
similar.”
Well, there used to be a lot of small guilds like that, but these days they are hard to find.
After the three major guilds were officially launched, no one was interested in what happened to those guilds, so they were just forgotten in the back of history. “
But what happened to those people? “Did you find it? Have you always known it?”
So, where did you find the people everyone had forgotten about?
If you hadn’t known each other before, it would have been quite difficult to find them.
But Yoo Eun-dam’s answer was simple.
“At the anti-Korean Guild rally.”
Eundam Yoo grinned, saying, “It was easy to find them because they were shouting through a loudspeaker all day. That’s
right.
After hearing that story, I understood why Eundam Yoo didn’t bring them to this lakeside or ask them to stay in my dungeon. A
strong friendship. It was not a relationship made of emotional solidarity.
There would be many people who would immediately turn away if the Daehan Guild granted their demands. Perhaps there were already spies from the Daehan Guild mixed in. Since this is a completely
unreliable group, they were far away from the really important base. They had built a base there.
“Hmm. Then maybe their purpose is a little different from ours.”
“That’s true. Still, I decided to cooperate because I thought it would be beneficial to drag Seohu and me into the opposing guild camp. In addition, since our language is real, if we save the citizens, we will also gain public opinion support.”
If Ban Seo-hoo and Yoo Eun-dam, who are both well-known, help them, it will be a great help in whatever they do.
“They want to involve each other.”
“The interests are just right. Don’t worry too much about it. It’s like insurance in case my sister doesn’t finish closing the dungeon anyway.”
It’s insurance. I
nodded with a mixed feeling. Eun-dam Yoo tapped the plate with his fork and shook his head briefly. “No, don’t make
that ‘because I’m not trustworthy’ look on your face. Don’t overdo it. You don’t have to do everything on your own. “Even if we can’t do it, we’re making plans for the future. That’s what we talked about that day, right?”
For the first time, I felt like Yoo Eun-dam was not just my younger brother.
I felt like my eyes were red with emotion.
“I know you work day and night to collect the ingredients for the potions that are being supplied to us. You collect them without a break while conquering the boss dungeon. “I know that you are strong, but if you fall, Jihan will kill you.”
The amount of potions that Kim Young-gil creates is so enormous that even if I sell them all to everyone who searches for potions through the market in my spare time, I still have a lot left over.
I have been supplying some of the remaining amount to two people.
They know of the existence of my skill. Since you don’t know, you must have mistaken me for gathering ingredients for a broken back potion. I
already told you that I can only make it with the ingredients I gathered, so now I can’t pretend that I made it by buying ingredients from the market. I have no choice but to let them misunderstand. “Okay
. “Don’t push yourself too hard.”
Ban Seo-jin, who had been quiet the whole time, also helped Eun-dam Yoo.
He said he was going through a dungeon and taking some time to gather in the evening.
