Chapter 370: Lucky Day (1)

“I mean… it’s nothing that. As I said, I…”

“…”

“…”

No one had been saying anything to her.

The sight of Cho Hyejin, who had been making excuses alone throughout the journey to the royal castle, looked sad.

Her behavior to ignore her perfect pureness actually seemed a little sad in some way.

It would be better if I walked around pretending to be okay, but it was also hard for me to show a reaction because she had been begging like that.

Of course, I understood her sentiment. It must be difficult to withstand the eyes of the Elune Knights, who looked at her with respect.

There weren’t talking to me, but I could hear them talking to each other.

‘She is a great human.’

‘Perfect pureness. She seems to be a respectable human.’

‘To be chosen by a unicorn…’

There were murmurings like that. There was no way that Cho Hyejin could not hear what I could.

“Ha… haha. I didn’t know why this had happened, but I think I’ve been pretty l-lucky. It’s really peculiar. When I was on E-Earth, I was very popular.”

‘That’s a lie.’

Of course, it could be said that she was pretty enough, but I was sure there would not have been a man who approached Cho Hyejin first.

“It must be clear that this unicorn is mistaken. Yes. It must be.”

However, the title didn’t lie.

[Title: Perfect, Pure Virgin]

I was curious as to how someone could get the title of ‘perfect.’

Cho Hyejin’s life, except for Kim Hyunsung, seemed to have been without close encounters with the opposite sex.

When I thought about it, she even looked a little pitiful.

What was worse was that the insensitive Kim Hyunsung didn’t even know he had something going on with Cho Hyejin. With her hair turned white, the image of Cho Hyejin sitting on the unicorn immediately came to mind.

‘Poor dear…’

Of course, it was not just me who felt that for her.

Park Deokgu, who was called to be a love doctor, quietly talked to me as if he noticed why Cho Hyejin was acting like that.

In fact, I didn’t know if his advice would help, but if Cho Hyejin wanted to escape from the perfect pureness, she had to grab a straw.

“Hey, it’s not something to be ashamed of.”

“…”

“Of course, it’s a little slower than others, but one day you’ll be able to find someone that fits you. There’s someone out there for everyone.”

“So I… I’m saying it’s nothing like that many times.”

“If you need a consultation, tell me anytime. I am confident to help you with both sides. It’s the same with Hyung-nim. Isn’t it? Hyung-nim?”

“Of course. That’s what friends are for.”

“It’s not what you all think. I am just like everyone else… yes. Just like everyone else. Normally…”

“You don’t have to make such excuses. Hyejin doesn’t have a problem. This is something everyone can experience. For now, I can confidently say that accepting is the first. If you keep avoiding it, it will become really difficult to date. This is also an extension of the relationship between people… It’s a bad habit to whip too much to yourself. Absolutely.”

‘Is this bastard really…? He’s more serious than I thought.’

“I can tell just by looking at you. Really. Lowering your standards could be a way… Oh, and more than anything else, Hyejin has been really busy. Naturally, you didn’t have time.”

“Yes… I certainly didn’t have much time.”

Considering that she had always been attached to Kim Hyunsung, she was never running out of time.

“It’s hard to do anything right now, but if you talk when you have the time, I think I’ll be able to coach you appropriately. Hyung-nim will help. Isn’t that right?”

Actually, I didn’t know what kind of coaching to do, but I nodded, for now.

When I thought of the unicorn following Cho Hyejin, I knew I had to stay favorable for now. I still wanted to use it as a catalyst.

If Kim Hyunsung really got in a relationship with her, the unicorn may one day go away.

‘That absolutely can’t happen.’

I felt sorry for my friend, but I hope that she could spend the next 7-10 years alone – that was, until I could take everything from the unicorn.

“It’s not that Deokgu is correct… Still, it would be nice to hear about it from you. Kiyoung’s story, too…”

“Well, well thought.”

“You really thought well.”

I sincerely wanted to cheer, but I couldn’t do that. Although I was a little bit upset, today could be said to be a lucky day anyway.

‘It feels like I just got it…’

Of course, I didn’t get a unicorn.

‘It’s for a guild member… so it’s like mine.’

Yours was mine. Mine was mine.

No matter what I thought about it, it was a situation that would make me yell.

The horned horse didn’t seem to have reached that point, but that didn’t matter.

The Bomb of the Light potion was the first thing I had gotten after changing classes.

Assuming that two or three potions could be developed in the future, and if I thought that the potions’ performance would also be comparable to that of the Bomb of Light, I could consider that I had gained the power suitable for a class of semi-mythic grade.

I remembered the time I had spent spearing due to the lack of magic power. I realized once again that I had really chosen the right path.

Of course, it was not just me who felt happy.

For the members of the expedition, this expedition was no different from great success.

First, there was the body of Salit.

It was an object that could not be processed for me, but there was one more production worker beside me in the Blue Guild.

‘Yoo Ahyoung.’

Its outer shell was strong enough to withstand the attacks of Kim Hyunsung or Jung Hayan.

Of course, it was affected by magic power and the Twisted Pond, so it was judged upward, but even so, it didn’t mean that the outer shell, which was initially hard, was going anywhere.

In addition to being able to arm Park Deokgu and Yoo Ahyoung fully, it was also possible to process weapons with the guy’s bones.

Not to mention my treatment, which was the greatest achievement, I also gained complete trust from the allies.

The only damage was the two Elune Knights who had died.

It hurts, but if I tried thinking about the death of a guy who I wasn’t close to, I could safely say it was a sacrifice for a noble cause.

‘Yes. Absolutely.’

It was not just that.

I didn’t know if it was because they had overworked themselves while I was in the dungeon, but I could see that they were growing, little by little.

Yoo Ahyoung, Han Sora, and Kim Chang-ryul had benefitted a lot in terms of growth, but the existing Blue Guild members were no different.

Ahn Ki-mo, who was okay, became a little more okay, and in Kim Ye-ri’s case, who could be called a talent bug, jumped over the wall once more.

‘It’s needless to say about Cho Hyejin.’

Even if left alone, Sun Hee-young would be fine growing alone, and Park Deokgu’s spec-up was already scheduled.

Kim Hyunsung…

[Checking the status window and talent levels of the player Kim Hyunsung.]

[Overall: Don’t backstab him. Really, don’t backstab him. If you really do it, I die, and you die. I’ve warned. Never backstab him.]

‘Phew… It’s reassuring.’

It was noticeable how he had grown even more while I hadn’t seen him.

‘When did his class change?’

I remember that his existing class was definitely a legendary grade.

It seemed that there was a certain achievement when I saw that he got a unique legendary grade when I didn’t check it for a while. The original heroic-grade Sword Expert had disappeared, and there were four legendary-grade attributes.

Considering that an average player couldn’t even have a single legendary trait, it was all worth applauding.

What about the stats?

Needless to say, his agility at 104, stamina at 101, and other stats were never low.

‘Isn’t the seal unlocked yet?’

It seemed that the mythic sword called Durendal had not yet been used with full potential.

That sword was good enough.

Kim Hyunsung’s status window itself was very simple, as he was aiming for a pure swordsman class in the first place. He was strong enough, without any complications whatsoever.

If I were to think of the swordsmanship that could be judged by his experience or the system, it was safe to assume that he had more than the status window clearly displayed.

Perhaps he would be able to face Salit alone.

Of course, the stats needed to grow more.

‘Because there could be something like the Altanus Benignore buff…’

I had thought about whether Cha Hee-ra was stronger than Kim Hyunsung, but as he grew to this point, I started to wonder if he might be a match to Cha Hee-ra when she had lowered her intelligence to the maximum.

I wasn’t interested in gossip like who was stronger, but I had to nod to the fact that the most reassuring people were allies here, anyway.

It was a perfect expedition in many ways. When I slightly turned my head, I saw Kim Hyunsung, who had returned to his original gender.

‘Ah… That’s over.’

It was a dangerous idea, but strangely, I felt that it was unfortunate.

“You are finally back.”

“Congratulations, Oppa.”

“Thank you, Ye-ri.”

“Congratulations, Guild Master.”

“Thank you, Hyejin.”

I gained a lot, and lost little.

It felt like it was a lucky day.

I felt unknown anxiety with the good luck, but the outside would not have been a mess after only ten days, and a few days had already passed.

It was already overwhelming just to think about how to deliver this good news. It was then that the Ranger, who had first run out from far away, had come in a hurry.

“Wait a moment.”

‘Shit.’

As always, sad feelings had never been wrong.

‘Something must’ve had happened.’

It wasn’t supposed to be a ranger, but those who celebrated the expedition’s return were supposed to meet us.

The face of the elf running alone was distorted with pain no matter how I was to see it.

He did not appear to be injured, but it seemed that he had continued to run without rest. It meant that there was news that needed to be delivered as quickly as possible.

I prayed that it would not be a big deal, but I had to realize that my hopes were falling apart as he got closer and closer.

“That… Did anything happen? Why, all of a sudden?”

After all, bad things happened on lucky days.

“What’s going on?”

Elios opened his mouth.

It caught my eyes that the messenger, who had been gasping for a long time, breathed wildly and opened his mouth.

“Phew… War. It’s a war.”

“Fuck.”

The curse had popped out without my knowledge.
