Chapter 924 – 924.Yggdrasil (7)
As soon as we gathered in the morning, the first to speak was Min Ha-yeon.
“Hello. “Luckily you came out today.”
The person Min Ha-yeon greeted was Namgung Yuha.
Namgung Yuha closed her eyes and responded verbally with an apology.
“Sorry. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday…”
As soon as morning came, I went straight to Namgung Yuha, and she offered me a place to eat.
I was worried that he might reject me again today, but fortunately, he gladly accepted the invitation today.
Well, considering I accepted it willingly…
“I’m not saying anything. Do not worry too much. However… ‘Are you sure you’re okay?’
“If you’re tired, you can rest more.”
As Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom said, Namgung Yuha’s condition did not look very good.
At first, I thought it was similar to yesterday, but now I see that I feel more tired than yesterday.
Like Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom, I opened my mouth with concern.
“If you’re tired, you can rest. “You must have been tired because of me yesterday.”
“?”
“??”
At my words, everyone started glaring at me with a lot of question marks above their heads, as if waiting for an explanation.
Just looking at him, he seemed to think that I had done something strange with Namgung Yuha yesterday.
I said with a sigh.
“If it was that difficult for me while taking the class, it must have been much more difficult for Namgung Yuha, who taught me. “I’m sorry I didn’t notice.”
“Ah…”
Only then was everyone able to resolve the misunderstanding.
‘No matter how much I reveal the woman, it’s been a few days since we met…’
[…]
[…]
Why are you guys quiet?
Although I felt uncomfortable with the silence of the two people, I did not show it on my face.
└Guardian of the gay-like dick: haha. An icon of distrust.
“…”
The reactions are truly polar opposites.
After hearing what I said, Namgung Yuha smiled bitterly and bowed her head.
“I think it’s because I couldn’t get used to the environment here. “I’m sorry for bothering you.”
“Just in case, don’t overdo it. We have to stay here for a while anyway, and we are also adjusting.”
“Yes. Thank you for your concern.”
Thanks to Min Ha-yeon’s active participation, Namgung Yu-ha’s expression was able to improve significantly.
In times like these, I could see that it was important for women to talk to each other.
After confirming that the mood had changed, I got to the point.
“Did you find out anything about the boss dungeon in the middle of winter?”
Midwinter heard my question…
“You can ask your sisters… “Oh?”
He looked at me and turned around and refused to answer.
But I wasn’t one to quietly back down just because I refused.
“Say it. “Because I want to hear it for myself.”
“Okay… Yo. This.”
I wanted to tell him that if he was going to say something like that at the end of every sentence, he should speak informally, but I couldn’t say that because Hanbom was next to me.
Midwinter began to explain with an angry look on his face.
“I was trying to find out too… “There was nothing to know.”
At first, I thought he might have thought about me half-heartedly, but after listening to Midwinter’s explanation, I was able to immediately put that thought aside.
“As I continued to investigate, the higher-ups heard my story and came directly to me and told me not to investigate further.”
“…”
The upper part that Midwinter was talking about did not mean Izanka.
“The royal family came and spoke directly.”
“No way, it’s a threat… ?”
When Hanbom asked with a worried expression, Midwinter smiled and shook her head.
“No. He is a person who is close to me. “It wasn’t a threat; rather, he told me to be careful, saying that if I tried to find out any more, I could be in trouble.”
“Did you ask why you shouldn’t find out?”
“No. “They said they couldn’t tell me that either.”
“…”
This is confirmed.
Umbra hides information about the boss dungeon not only from each resident but also from the entire country.
It’s like a folk religion that outsiders shouldn’t know about.
“It’s a pain in the ass.”
Everyone nodded their heads as if they agreed with my opinion.
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th floor.
Except for the first floor, these four floors had common characteristics.
It was the fact that one country controlled one layer.
2nd floor, Neo Niflheim.
3rd floor, Letitia, the city of pleasure.
4th floor, Umbra.
5th floor, Arbos, the kingdom of elves.
And the characteristic of those countries was that the authority of each level was controlled by the power of one person.
Gravedigger, Wedlock, Stella…
And the fact that all the residents on the 4th floor are working together to keep their mouths shut… It meant that there was a high possibility that it was the will of the person in charge of this place.
Midwinter saw us sinking and cautiously opened her mouth.
“If you need that much information, should I ask the leader?”
“Didn’t you already ask Izanka?”
“Not Captain Izanka, leader. “The leader I’m talking about is someone else.”
“?”
Midwinter shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
“There is a popular leader among summoners called Ardia Leader.”
As soon as he heard Midwinter’s words, the first person to react was none other than Namgung Yuha.
“Ardia…”
“Do you know someone?”
“Yes. “He is the person who led me and Izanka and served as the leader.”
“Ah…”
The person who formed a party with Namgung Yuha from the 0th floor, defeated Shockbee, and fearlessly attacked Cerberus?
Midwinter smiled awkwardly and said to Namgung Yuha.
“Well, Captain Izanka and the leader talked about my sister a lot. Her grandmother too.”
“Ardia and Grandma Melissa… “I’ll have to visit sometime soon when I have time.”
At this point, I started to become curious as well.
Even if I wasn’t really curious about the person called Grandma, I was really curious about the woman named Ardia.
‘Doesn’t the fact that she was the leader at that time mean that even this Janka recognized her?’
Moreover, seeing as she was called by the title of leader, it was more likely that she was a superior than this Janka.
She is the woman who caught Shock Rain and attacked Cerberus… I was genuinely curious what she looked like.
Whether it’s good or bad…
“I’ll ask you as soon as I get to work today. These days, the manager is depressed again, so I don’t know if we’ll be able to have a conversation.”
“Ah… “I guess you haven’t gotten over it yet.”
Namgung Yuha nodded as if she already knew, and Min Ha-yeon tilted her head and asked.
“Depression?”
“Huh. Leader Ardia, there is no problem at all when fighting. “When I rest like this, I get depressed because old trauma comes to mind.”
It’s depression for monsters… She was an unpredictable woman.
‘I wonder what kind of woman she really is.’
But that question couldn’t be answered right now.
“It’s hard for me to meet Leader Ardia easily. Just know that it might take her a while. No, we might not be able to meet today.”
“Okay.”
This is how the midwinter report came to an end.
“Then should I go around and look for information today?”
At this point, we could roughly realize that no matter how hard we wandered around, there would be no harvest.
However, you can’t just sit around and relax.
It was a moment of contemplation, unable to make such a special plan.
“Oh my! “You are here!”
“?”
A loud voice that sounds like metal is being caught.
It was a familiar voice, as if I had heard it somewhere before.
As soon as I turned my head and identified the owner of the voice, the voice came out reflexively.
“Ludwig?”
A goblin with green skin.
In addition, unlike its appearance, it is a luxurious outfit with flowing booties.
It was a goblin that looked just like Ludwig.
But as soon as the goblin heard me, she giggled and shook her head.
“As soon as we first met, you treated me as equal to that ugly person. “That’s too much.”
“Oh, sorry.”
Hehe! It’s okay! First, let me introduce myself.”
The goblin chuckled, lifting her palms up.
“I am Roy, the second son of the Wedlock family. “For your information, the ugly guy you mentioned is my younger brother.”
“Haha…”
They said he looked a lot alike, and he was Ludwig’s older brother.
No, to begin with, all goblins look similar…
After Roy’s introduction, he looked at me and opened his mouth.
“I should have come to see you as soon as I came up, but I was late because it was the busiest time of the year.”
“Are you okay.”
I was grateful that you came to visit me even now.
I was frustrated because I had no way to find information.
“It looks like you’ve already finished your meal… “How about enjoying some dessert and chatting at our mansion?”
At the mention of dessert, Min Ha-yeon’s group’s eyes began to sparkle.
Some of them even included midwinter.
Midwinter began to secretly get lucky with Hanbom next to him.
“Sister, can I come with you?”
“What? “Don’t you have to go to work?”
“Oh, I guess it might be a little late…”
That’s strange… From what I’ve seen, I don’t think it’s too late…
But there was no one here who could inquire about such things.
Hanbom chuckled and shrugged her shoulders.
“You can’t ask me that.”
“…”
Midwinter chewed her lips, sighed, then looked at me and opened her mouth.
“Excuse me… “Can I come with you?”
Midwinter’s attitude was both funny and understandable.
Even if these basic meals were provided free of charge, it was actually difficult to eat snacks on the battlefield.
It seemed like he didn’t want to miss the opportunity to melt his mouth with luxurious food for the first time in a long time.
‘… ‘Would you like to teach me this later?’
I smiled to myself and asked Roy.
“Can I come with you?”
..
..
Roy readily accepted my request, and our group was ushered into the reception room as soon as we arrived at the mansion.
As soon as Roy arrived at the reception room, he immediately apologized.
“I wanted to provide you with a carriage and show you around politely, but the current situation is not good, so I apologize for causing you this inconvenience.”
As Roy said, we walked to the mansion.
But there was no particular reason to be dissatisfied.
In the first place, since I came to the 4th floor, I have never seen a horse, let alone a carriage.
“No. “Rather, thank you for inviting me.”
While Roy and I were exchanging greetings filled with her pretense, Hangyeoul was being interrogated by Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom next to her.
“Is it really okay to leave out?”
“If there is any problem, we will take care of it separately.”
“Are you okay. Anyway, the building is currently being restored, so there is no place for me to stay. And it’s not because of what you eat!”
“I didn’t come here for the food… Look in the mirror. “Your face is full of gluttony now.”
“I said no!!”
As I listened to the comic, snacks prepared by Roy began to be placed on the table.
Even though we ate a little while ago…
“And…”
My mouth was watering and I couldn’t take my eyes off the various desserts.
Roy clapped his hands, pleased with our appearance.
Clap, clap!
“Now, stop worrying about me and eat as much as you want!”
As soon as they heard those words, Min Ha-yeon and her group started stretching out their hands like octopus feet.
‘… ‘It’s scary.’
I smiled to myself and carefully looked at Namgung Yuha who was sitting next to me.
Namgung Yuha’s eyes were clearly closed, but her face was facing the table.
I smiled inwardly at the sight of Namgung Yuha like that and cautiously opened my mouth.
“Please eat without paying attention.”
“Tsk… “It’s okay.”
I offered Namgung Yuha food several times, but Namgung Yuha refused, maintaining her dignity until the end.
‘… ‘Let’s take care of it later.’
That’s what I thought, and in the end I couldn’t recommend it any more.
I left the sight of the women indulging in snacks and began to look at Roy.
As soon as Roy saw me, he grabbed both of her hands and rubbed them together, opening her mouth.
“Okay then, shall we talk while the others enjoy their dessert?”
“Yes, of course.”
“For your information, I only received a telegram from my father asking for full support, but I have not yet heard the exact circumstances. “Please tell me what you want.”
“Then let me quickly get to the point. “The request I received from Mr. Wedlock is to clear the boss dungeon.”
Hehe, boss dungeon… “I was wondering if it was possible, but it was like that.”
Roy chuckled, but his eyebrows furrowed.
It feels like a very uncomfortable story is about to come out… ?
And unfortunately, that uncomfortable story…
“Unfortunately, it seems difficult to get there right now.”
It has become a reality.
