Chapter 334 – Chapter 334 Yggdrasil (3-42)
I called Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom to the room separately and explained what had happened.
Of course, I left out the story about Lucien.
It was because saying that would really bother me.
I explained to the two that I checked outside the village just in case, and found a monster by chance and caught it.
Hearing my words, Min Ha-yeon smiled and opened her mouth.
“Birds listen to daytime words, and mice listen to nighttime words.”
“Is it a coincidence? It’s like a proverbial situation.”
In fact, it may be different from what I intended here, but it was not wrong at all.
The fact that you have to pay attention not only during the day but also at night was a story that worked here as well.
I definitely got a hint, and I solved it, but it wasn’t as comfortable as it was.
“It also means to be wary of the surroundings in all four seasons.”
A world where you never know what will happen day or night and under all circumstances.
A world where there is no law that says it is not safe during the day and quiet at night.
The first floor was the place where I could personally realize that.
While sympathizing with Min Ha-yeon’s words, Han Bom opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.
“By the way, why did he make that face?”
“Ah… Midsummer?”
“Yes.”
When I said to find the certificate and leave immediately tomorrow, Midsummer’s face was filled with despair.
I could see why.
“Maybe it’s because the return point changes?”
“Ah… Didn’t you say that the older sister and the uncle also changed after coming up?”
Han Bom had only experienced regression, so she hadn’t experienced a change in the point of return.
In fact, the reason we gathered in my room today was not just to talk about what happened earlier.
On the subject of progress.
“… Shall we proceed to the next floor?”
They were gathered to talk about whether or not to proceed to the next floor.
Hanbom, including myself, could not easily answer Min Ha-yeon’s words.
Actually, I was able to shout ‘Let’s go!’ Coolly from the inside, but showing it like that was just an act of shaving my image that I had built up so far.
Have to be persuaded
I had to make a justification for the two of them to go.
I said to the two who showed hesitation.
“I think it’s good to go.”
As Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom focused their attention on me, I continued to speak.
“If you go to the next floor, there might come a situation where you are really fixed on that part, and unluckily you only return to midsummer.”
“….”
“But if we return here again… You’re not going to suffer alone, Mr. Hanbom.”
“Ah….”
Min Ha-yeon nodded her head right away at my words, and Han Bom looked at me in bewilderment.
“I-I’m fine….”
“It’s okay… I don’t know if it was once or twice, but it was difficult because I went through it many times.”
“….”
Regression is good, but it’s a different story if you’re being forcibly dragged instead of intentionally regressing.
Especially if the memories of the people you want keep resetting….
And the end of the story is finished.
“Let’s move forward.”
At my words, the two women nodded and looked determined.
Until now, I had been anxious, but in the end, that anxiety didn’t go away just because it stayed.
The regression itself was something I could control, but the two of them had no idea.
“If you say that you should take a little more time, but instead, until spring is swept along with us… Eventually, we all lose our memories.”
“Yes… I hate that too.”
After convincing the two of them, I decided to proceed as quickly as possible.
“… Who will do it today?”
“Since unnie did it yesterday, can’t I do it today?”
“….”
My lower abdomen is happy, but it was a night where I wondered if I would be happy someday.
..
..
As soon as we woke up in the morning, we started preparing to enter the dungeon.
Even if I had the key, I had to stop at the central village and then re-enter the dungeon, so I started preparing after considering the long process.
However, there was one thing to consider here.
That’s right….
“Now please stop! The orange warning is gone now!”
“What… Even so….”
It was a question about the midsummer bondage.
The orange warning jewel on Midsummer’s head had disappeared before I knew it.
It was obviously an attempted case, and if the orange mark had disappeared, there seemed to be no reason to tie it up.
However, this part had to be completely followed by the opinions of the women.
Because they were anxious in the first place, so they came up with the idea to arrest them.
After thinking about it for a while, the trio coordinated their opinions separately and came to us to tell us the results.
“First of all, I think it would be better to proceed in a way that is not restrained this time.”
“Whoa….”
Han Yeo-reum let out a sigh of relief after hearing the results the three women spoke.
If the trio had allowed it, there would be no reason for me to come forward and forcefully tie it up.
The trio seemed to have decided that it was better for her to move quickly than dragging herself through midsummer.
I simply gave the order while watching Midsummer.
“Hey, don’t do anything stupid in the dungeon and follow us closely, okay?”
“Huh….”
That guy’s nostrils….
It was until today that the midsummer could be perfectly controlled.
The contract will expire at noon tomorrow, and according to the contract, I have to hand over the jewels I have to Midsummer.
I smiled viciously as I looked at the jewels in my inventory.
‘Heh… I’ll hand you the real treasure.’
As I was laughing at my inventory, someone tapped me on the back from behind.
It was Park Seon-hee who wanted something and turned around to check it.
“We are all ready.”
“Yes, if you wait, we will tell you as soon as we are ready.”
Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom were checking the inventory while talking to each other.
The dungeon itself shouldn’t have been a big problem, but since they’re girls who like meticulous things, it seemed like it took a long time to check without making any mistakes.
While Min Ha-yeon and Han-bom were laughing like that, Park Seon-hee grumbled and opened her mouth.
“The treatment is too different?”
“Yes?”
“Please take care of me too. I’m working hard….”
Park Seon-hee expresses herself in the singular number of ‘I’, not ‘we’, and at this moment she draws a line with the trio.
But apart from that, I didn’t know that Park Sun-hee would suddenly appear like this.
Haha…. It’s because I often teamed up with those two by chance, I think all of you are the same colleagues.”
“Huh…. You discriminate so blatantly. I’m sorry.”
Park Seon-hee put on a sullen expression and she began to stimulate the flirtation in my heart.
“Sorry. I’ll be careful.”
Park Seon-hee is also a woman….
She thought that one day she would hit Park Sun-hee first.
In fact, the trio had a history of tempting me once before she returned.
However, this episode was quiet because there was no time to approach me, perhaps because of a combination of various events.
“If you’re so sorry, can I ask you something?”
“Yes, please.”
“Can you buy me an expensive meal when I arrive safely on the next floor?”
It was the best way Park Sun-hee could do.
‘Still, he’s not as threatening as before.’
[Perhaps it’s because you think it’s impossible.]
‘Personally, I was fine at that time as well.’
In the previous episode, Park Seon-hee approached Min Ha-yeon with a threatening comment that she would tell Min Ha-yeon while she was with Han Bom.
In fact, words are threats, but in the end, it was one of the situations that I really liked in that it seduced me.
It was a part where we could see how bold her character, Park Sun-hee, was.
‘I didn’t pay attention to this episode because I was busy, but I think it’s better to pay attention to it, right?’
[Women who are dependent will be helpful to Suho in any case.]
‘Ah! Then how about that?’
[… ?]
I told Armonia what I thought, and Armonia seemed to be thinking for a while, but she answered not long after.
[I think it’s okay.]
‘Aren’t there any restrictions on the number of people?’
[There is no such thing. However, once a contract is signed, it cannot be canceled.]
‘It’s not like we have to do something anyway.’
[That’s right.]
‘Great….’
As soon as I finished the conversation with Armonia, I spoke to Park Seon-hee.
“Yes, I promise. I’ll buy you something expensive.”
“Ohh. I will expect.”
Looking at Park Seon-hee smiling brightly at me, I made a suggestion to her.
“Park Seon-hee.”
“Yes.”
“Do you know that I am from the outside world?”
..
..
After that, not only Park Sun-hee. I told the same story to Son Hye-eun and Park Jin-hee.
“Somehow… Suho was really strong.”
“Well, I thought it might be because she shoots a bow better than Min Ha-yeon, and uses a lot of strange abilities on top of that.”
“Then why are you suddenly telling me this story?”
The reason I suddenly told this story to three people was simple.
“You can go somewhere other than here, just like me.”
“That… Is that right?”
“If you don’t mind, I’m talking about belonging where I belong.”
I led the story similar to when I seduced Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom.
First of all, they are women whose skills and mindset have been verified.
I thought it would be easier to manage if I put those women under the NTL Corporation.
The trio turned their heads to look at each other and nodded.
“We thank you.”
“Come to think of it, I was forcibly brought here as well, but there is no law against going to the world that Suho passed through.”
Reminding them that there was no harm was a factor that quickly persuaded them.
It was after making simple employee ID cards for them.
Son Hye-eun pressed her body closely to me, and she began to talk as if humming.
“I’m sorry for always asking for help.”
Haha, it’s okay. I have been helped every time.”
“Whoops… I don’t know what the next floor is like, but please give me some time later. I’ll shoot you a meal.”
Haha… Thank you.”
“Me too….”
If there was something I felt while going around with these three people, it was the fact that the way they approached me was the same even after going through a regression.
Park Seon-hee approaches recklessly first, then Son Hye-eun is stimulated to move, and Park Jin-hee approaches timidly after that.
Even if it seems repetitive, as a result, it seems that a person does not change, seeing that she moves according to her own instincts.
‘I can understand why the regressor is a bitch.’
[However, it seems that you are in a more dangerous situation if you do not measure the variable accurately.]
‘Like midsummer?’
I laughed inwardly as I said so.
Midsummer was so simple that he had no idea that the regressor was other than himself.
In addition, even if there is a variable, it shows that the cause of the variable is not even identified.
Regression is an absolute ability, but it was the result of being given the ability to someone who was too mediocre.
When the work of the trio was finished, Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom came from afar to where I was and said.
“We are ready. Are the three of you ready?”
“Yes, I’m done.”
“Okay then, let’s start soon.”
Looking at the morning sun, I started heading towards the entrance to the underground guardian.
All the way, Min Ha-yeon clung to me and poked her in the side, and Han Bom was laughing while watching me.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance to the underground guardian, Hanbom looked up at the sky and began to make a gloomy expression.
“Huh… I will miss the sun again.”
Hanbom was making a more anxious expression, probably because he couldn’t adapt to a particularly humid place.
Seeing her midsummer, Min Ha-yeon began to comfort her.
“It will be over in a little while. You can do it.”
“Yes.”
In this way, the two showed encouragement and strengthened their family love.
And the guy who stands alone floating in this atmosphere.
‘Midsummer… Why are you in your real state?’
Even though he wasn’t bound, he kept looking at me with a really anxious expression.
I wondered why he was so anxious even though the contract was concluded tomorrow.
‘It would be impossible to cross the floor this time anyway, right?’
[No matter how fast you go, it is considered impossible because you have to go through the central village. Midsummer will commit suicide before climbing the floor.]
‘Under… It’s really a waste.’
This round was a round that gave satisfactory results to the extent that it was thought to have been carried out perfectly.
That meant that it was the episode with the worst results for Midsummer.
Midsummer and I were a perfect symmetrical point.
An existence that naturally flows into a minus when one side becomes a plus.
While exchanging dirty glances with Midsummer, Midsummer suddenly approached me and opened his mouth.
“Hey, you know it ends tomorrow, right?”
“Know.”
“Can’t you give me the dungeon entry now? The contract won’t stay anyway. I’ll just keep it.”
My goal for midsummer is the jewelry I have for photography.
If I command you, you will not see midsummer even if you have the jewel.
I thought about it for a while and then handed over the jewel to Han Yeo-reum and said.
“Great.”
“Gee, are you really giving it to me?”
“I keep my promise.”
I said that and handed a pile of jewels to Midsummer.
Han Yeo-reum received the jewel I gave her and suddenly started to laugh.
“Heh heh….”
“What the hell is that bastard’s jewel…. As I said before, until the end of the contract, it does not belong to you.”
“Okay. Got it.”
Midsummer feels good, so I felt my mood go down.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have extended the period….’
[That was the best. Midsummer won’t be able to get the information he wants anyway, so there won’t be a problem.]
‘I want to see Midsummer’s expression while looking at the contents of the jewel.’
I secretly smiled and told the other members while watching Han Yeoreum look happy.
“Now, let’s go in.”
Everyone, including Midsummer, nodded in response to my words.
And we all entered the dungeon together.
As soon as we entered, a brilliant light began to surround us as we were transported into the dungeon.
And at some point, I felt the light go out.
“Okay then let’s go…. What? Where are you?”
It was clearly an underground waterway.
However, the inside of the dungeon was different from the dungeon I remembered well.
Obviously, when I first entered, I remembered it as a straight passage with the back blocked off, but now this place was an empty lot with open spaces on all sides.
I wasn’t the only one showing a puzzled look.
“Where are you?”
“Seonhee, was it like this when you entered the village on the right?”
“Oh no! Back then, it was just a straight tunnel with a block in the back.”
Until now, entering the dungeon had been a way to automatically move to a place with a tunnel behind it when entering an underground waterway.
But now, this place was an empty lot covered with dark spaces to the extent that it was impossible to know where to go.
All I could say was that it was an underground aqueduct because all the voices echoed.
While everyone was panicking, light suddenly began to radiate from the center of the clearing.
Shoot aaaaa!
“What, what?”
While everyone was panicking, the green light gradually faded, and in the center of the clearing was a giant green jewel the size of a man.
Even though it is a jewel with a fascinating charm, everyone started to fall away from it.
As I gradually increased the distance, a number suddenly appeared on top of the jewel.
24:00:00
While everyone was looking at the number on the jewel with a bewildered expression, I muttered quietly.
“Timer?”
It was the moment to say so.
23:59:57
It is certainly. It was a timer.
And the moment the timer started, a strange sound began to be heard from afar.
Keeh eh…. Kiek!
Obviously, I didn’t know what the situation was.
But one thing was certain.
“Everyone get ready! Something is coming!”
Now we have monsters… It was also the fact that not one or two monsters were approaching.
