I’m Not a Regressor Chapter 231

I am not a returner Episode 231

A hero for small things (1)

“…What?”

Ohjin frowned after hearing the scream.

I heard the scream itself, but I didn’t frown.

‘It sounds like a child’s voice?’

Ojin turned to step on the thunderbolt and fired the wire shooter in the direction from which the scream was heard.

Shuuuuuk!

Ojin is shot quickly through the wind.

It took only about ten seconds to reach the place where the scream was heard.

“Aaaah! Help me! Kekkek. “Oh, my throat hurts from screaming so much.”

There was a girl squatting in the cave and squealing.

I guess he’s about 10 years old now.

It was a girl with unique hair with green bridges.

“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! “Wow!”

A monster standing 10 meters in front of the girl and growling.

The monster, which was howling fiercely, bared its vicious teeth and rushed at the girl.

“Kuhuhuhung!”

Puzzle!

But even for a moment.

The green necklace around the monster’s neck radiated light, and the monster struggled and retreated.

“lol. It’s going up, right? Catch me! Catch me~!”

The girl lashed out, sticking her tongue out at the monster that couldn’t approach.

“….”

Oh Jin laughed, feeling like he was watching a crude skit.

‘Is this what safety measures are for the general public?’

The monster’s eyes turned red and it tried to repeatedly attack the girl, but each time the necklace reacted and made the monster fall.

“Oh, Mr. Ajo! It’s here! Here! “There are good citizens being threatened by scary monsters!”

The girl who discovered Ojin waved her hands with a bright smile.

When I first heard that there was a mission to rescue ordinary people, I had no idea how it would proceed, but now I feel like I understand.

“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Did the monster also discover misdiagnosis?

Fiercely shining red eyes turned to Ojin.

The monster kicked the ground with its leopard-like legs and rushed towards Ojin at terrifying speed.

As a competition to select the Seven Stars, it was a monster that seemed powerful enough to be rarely seen.

“Changrye.”

He was not Oh Jin’s opponent.

Let’s go!

A blue thunderbolt spread out like a fan and struck the monster.

“Kuheuung!”

A monster writhing in agony.

He lowered his body to avoid the arms swinging wildly and quickly thrust out the folding knife he had pulled from his waist.

Catch it!

In the blink of an eye, the knife transformed into the shape of a spear, piercing the monster’s neck and digging into its skull.

-Tiring!

[A blue-level monster was taken care of.]

[30 points were obtained.]

A blue message window did not appear in the empty air like a system window.

The voice that came out was a silver bracelet worn on the wrist.

When I lowered my head and looked at the bracelet, the number that had been 0 had changed to 5.

“Wow! “You’re sending this away in one fell swoop!”

The girl laughed and clapped her hands.

Ojin asked as he approached the girl.

“Since when have you been here?”

“ah! Uncle, deduct points! “It’s an emotion!”

why not.

“Here, you should have started by asking if I was hurt anywhere!”

“….”

I clearly saw with my own eyes that the monster couldn’t even touch the girl because of the necklace around its neck, so there was no way he was hurt anywhere.

‘That’s how they grade it.’

It’s definitely what the girl said.

If this was about rescuing real ordinary people, not prepared actors, it would have been right to ask about safety first.

“sorry. “Are you hurt anywhere?”

“lol. Since you apologized quickly, I’ll assume no points were deducted. yes! As you can see, there are no injuries!”

The girl stood up vigorously and dusted off the dust from her knees.

Now, if you take this girl safely to the safety zone, you will be able to earn points.

‘The plan went a bit wrong.’

Originally, I was going to go to the underwater terrain and monopolize the monsters to accumulate points.

Now that things were like this, it seemed like the priority would be to move while looking for the safety zone.

“It matches your brain, right?”

“It’s true for Noerang, but not for you.”

“I’m a huge fan of you!”

This damn kid.

“What is your name?”

“Oh, my name is ‘Ordinary Person No. 2’!”

That’s a very inhumane name.

“lol. They said I couldn’t give out their name due to regulations. Um… But it’s a bit too much to call me ordinary person No. 2, so please call me ‘Io’!”

Io smiled brightly and raised his hand.

Oh Jin chuckled and nodded.

“Let’s move for now.”

The moment I tried to move to find the safety zone.

“oh! Uncle, deduct points! Points will be deducted again!”

No, why again?

“There is such a delicate girl, so you should hold her hand and go! “What should I do if I go alone?”

“If you hold hands, it will be difficult to move in an emergency when a monster attacks. “It’s safer to stick close and move.”

Let’s come up with an appropriate counterargument.

“…uh?”

Io opens his eyes wide and scratches his head.

“After hearing this, it seems true. Hmm. “I’ll pretend there was no deduction!”

“Our examiner’s standards are very strict.”

“lol. “The rules say you have to grade well.”

Io scratches his head as if he is embarrassed.

‘It’s not a compliment, it’s a sarcasm.’

Ojin chuckled and went down the mountain path with Io.

“Do you know where the safety zone is?”

“We don’t know that either! But if you get closer, what about that map? “I heard it shows up for things like that!”

Ojin looked down at the silver bracelet on his wrist.

First of all, there were still no signs on the map except Ojin himself.

‘I have no choice but to wander around aimlessly.’

While I was thinking like that and taking steps.

Sssssssseu!

The sound of the bushes shaking was heard.

“mister?”

“quiet.”

I activated my canis by placing my index finger to my lips.

The smell of a wild animal felt through the nose.

‘The number is one.’

The location is.

‘under!’

Quaaaang!

A pile of dirt rose up, revealing a monster moving at high speed through the ground.

Its overall appearance was similar to that of a shark, but instead of fins, it had four limbs with vicious claws.

‘blue.’

Ojin checked the necklace hanging around the shark monster’s neck and grabbed the spear.

“Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

The shark monster let out a ferocious cry and pounded the ground with both legs.

The ground shook like waves, and sharp pieces of stone flew out.

At the tip of the stone fragment that shot out like a buckshot, bluish magical energy was formed.

‘Is there even a monster that can control magical power?’

Most monsters possessed magical power itself, but it was not common to see the type of monster that mixed magic power into its attacks like an awakened person uses stigmata.

“I prepared very carefully.”

Let’s go!

The blue thunderbolt spread widely and bounced off the falling stone fragments.

“Encephalitis.”

A blue flame burning fiercely on the blade of a spear.

Ojin roughly hit the head of the charging shark monster.

Kaang!

A spear that bounces out with a loud metallic sound.

A shock was felt all the way through the window.

“It’s surprisingly hard.”

Ojin frowned and looked at the shark monster.

Even though he had thrown the window away, his body was staggering as if the impact was not enough.

‘If your skin is hard.’

He looked at the monster and raised the corners of his mouth.

“charge.”

Squeeze!

Blue thunderbolts gathered at the tip of the spear.

After completing three overlaps, Ojin quietly waited for the shark monster to come to its senses.

Considering the monster’s general pattern, there was a set action to take after being hit on the head like that.

The shark monster came to its senses from shock and glared fiercely at Ojin.

and.

“Kaaaaaa!!”

“Okay, open your mouth wide.”

Roar after groggy.

Ojin, who did not miss the most frequent pattern regardless of the type of monster, threw the spear in his hand into the monster’s mouth.

“Discharge.”

“Kweeeeeee!”

The shark monster collapsed with black smoke billowing from its mouth due to a thunderbolt exploding inside its body.

-Tiring!

[A green-grade monster has been dealt with.]

[5 points have been obtained.]

“Is it five times different from a green-grade monster?”

It was definitely a monster with power that was different from that of the green level.

“Wow! Aren’t you a high-ranking awakened man? “I said that the blue one is a difficult monster to deal with even for high-ranking awakened people!”

Io, who was hiding behind a tree in the distance, clapped her hands and let out an exclamation.

I was a little worried that I might get hit by a blind piece of stone, but fortunately there seemed to be no problem.

“for a moment.”

After activating the Stigmata of the Canis Hound and confirming that there were no other monsters around, Ojin looked back at Io and asked.

“But isn’t this too dangerous for a child like you to do?”

It is said that there are minimal safety measures in place.

It was literally just the ‘minimum’.

If Ojin had not been able to throw away all the stone fragments, he might have been injured.

“that’s right. So you pledge to those regulations? When writing something like this, it was also written that even if an accident occurs and someone gets hurt or dies, the council cannot be held responsible.”

“…what?”

Oh Jin distorted his expression harshly.

To have a child of about 10 years old write such a pledge?

‘Has the Congress gone crazy?’

No matter how crazy the world is, isn’t this a bit much?

“lol. Don’t worry though! Even if I’m in danger, you’ll save me, right?”

“What didn’t your parents say?”

“no.”

Io smiled brightly and continued speaking.

“I heard that Mom and Dad left me on a long trip a long time ago.”

“….”

Ojin looked at Io with a stiff expression.

She burst into laughter as she looked at Ojin who was frozen.

“Hi-Hi! “Your face is funny!”

Io continued, playfully poking Ojin’s side.

“Don’t look so scared. “But the teachers and children at the daycare center are all very kind to me!”

“…okay?”

Ojin, who had only bad memories of the orphanage, looked at Io with a worried expression.

“So you applied for this job yourself?”

“yes! “I saw it posted and went to see it myself!”

“Why do you have to do something so dangerous….”

“Because they pay a lot of money!”

“….”

Although it was an extremely simple reason.

It was also a reason that made more sense than any other reason.

“If you just hide quietly for 6 hours, the kids at our orphanage and the teacher can all eat delicious food! “What could be so good?”

I felt a bitter taste in my mouth as I saw Io speaking with shining eyes.

“…Weren’t you scared?”

Even though I know it’s a stupid question.

Ohjin asked, looking down at Io, who was smiling brightly.

“Hmm. I was scared at first. “It’s okay now.”

Io shrugged his shoulders with a bright smile.

“It’s much scarier to have to eat nothing but tasteless oatmeal every day than something like this!”

It wasn’t difficult to imagine what the orphanage’s finances would be like in a crazy world where monsters run amok.

Everyone is busy with their own lives, so who would donate to an orphanage?

You may have lived a difficult life where it was difficult to eat even one meal a day.

“….”

Oh Jin felt a bittersweet feeling as if his heart was being cut and looked down at Io, who was smiling brightly.

Why?

Io’s bright smile reminded me of Ha-eun when she was young.

“…let’s go.”

“yes!”

There was no time to wallow in unnecessary sentimentality.

Oh Jin found the safety zone and started moving again.
