NOVEL NEXT chapter 359
359 – The Crazy Wolf Is Hungry
-It’s great. Really…
– I also like people who wear glasses.
– I’ve never seen someone like that in my life.
Even though I wore glasses, interest in me did not easily cool down.
‘Let’s stop… Isn’t it more fun to play among yourselves?’
At that moment, the male students who were present made comments that devalued me.
– Can’t you see there’s a lover in front of you? Come to your senses.
– Just by looking at it, you can see she had plastic surgery. I can’t believe he’s so handsome.
– You know that a lot of men have surgeries these days, right?
‘Is this another surgical drip?’
– Oh, even with a little surgery, you can get rid of squids that don’t respond well.
– I can’t stand a man being jealous.
– What do you say, pumpkin?
I think they are classmates. There was no hesitation in speaking.
Still, little by little, interest started to fade away from me, so I thought this was good enough.
From the moment people showed interest in us, Yeonhee started eating meat faster, and then she grabbed my hand.
“… Well, let’s go.”
“Already? Why eat more?”
“You don’t have much time left, so let’s go anyway.”
Considering Yeonhee’s appetite, even 10 servings would not be enough.
She said after only eating 5 servings.
I was a little puzzled because I had enough time to use the second mimicry after the first mimicry.
But I guess it was good.
If Yeonhee asks you to go out, you can just go out. What is there to think about?
“Oh my, are you going already?”
The owner looked disappointed for some reason when he saw us leave after less than 40 minutes.
I think it’s because the store has been crowded with customers since we came in.
“I’ll come again next time.”
Jerbeok-
This moment of indifferently leaving the store and walking down a quiet alley with Yeonhee.
If I invest one hour of mimicry every day, I feel like my mind will always be clear.
Yeonhee was walking down the street, and after checking that there were no people around, she parted her lips.
“I’m already nervous because I think someone is coming home tomorrow.”
“If you come and train, you will fight and stretch hard. You won’t be that nervous, right?”
“Still. It’s my first time having a friend my age come to my house.”
“······.”
Every time I hear something like this, I feel sad and can’t help but hug it.
“Wow-“
Yeonhee, who was being held by me, said that she was suffocating and asked me to calm down a little.
“Well… I won’t be able to use mimicry tomorrow?”
“Ah, tomorrow… I think I’ll use it briefly in the afternoon.”
“No way… Trying to catch the great villain again? No.”
“I have no intention of catching it. I just want to figure out what type it is first. I plan to spend some time preparing accordingly.”
“Ugh… I don’t think there’s any need to rush it.”
When I suggested adjusting the speed, Yeonhee nodded as if she felt relieved.
“No, it’s better not to do it for a while. You really have to just look. You can’t just disappear.”
“… Yes, okay. Okay.”
Although she didn’t specifically mention mental contamination, Yeonhee reacts sensitively to things related to great villains.
‘I can’t believe my status is being displayed as a message…’
This time I couldn’t hold back and asked about him.
“I can tell which summons are suffering from status ailments. But I can’t know any more information than that?”
“Oh, really?”
“It might be seen if we increase our control a little more… But I don’t think it’s there yet.”
“Hmm…”
‘That’s a good thing. Was it just because you didn’t have a good feeling?’
I didn’t want to worry anyone by sharing useless information, but I wasted a while.
However, at this time, information about Il-wol was different from what was said in Lee Yeon-hee’s mind.

– Mental corruption has reached critical levels. Dominance decreases slightly.
– The pet’s dominance has dropped below 90. The likelihood of making a risky decision slightly increases.
—-
‘…’
Lee Yeon-hee was no longer surprised by her ability level her, which was enough to put even advanced hunters at a loss, and her countless skills and characteristics of her.
However, the change highlighted in bold at the end made her sensitive.
‘I invested in dominance and managed to get it into the 90s, but then it fell again. It went up a bit again today, but it’s still at 88…’
If this happened, there was no other choice but to invest the stats gained from leveling up in dominance.
‘… This isn’t enough. We need another means to increase our dominance. Is it an artifact? Is there such a thing? But I’m the only one who has this number, so I can’t ask anyone else. Ttung and Ran also said they didn’t know…’
She was nervous.
Sometimes, Ilwol looked like grains of sand sparkling with gold.
A being that keeps slipping out of your hand even if you try to hold it tightly.
Kuuk-
“Huh?”
“······.”
She suppressed her anxiety by holding the hand of the man who smiled at her even more tightly.
Even though I couldn’t make love today because I spent all my time outside, I was just as happy to go out and date like any other couple.
In order to continue this happiness for a long time, I ultimately needed the strength to get through the chaotic world.
‘I need a mysterious summoning scroll or artifact… Or I can become strong like Yeonsu.’
The latter would not be easy no matter how much I thought about it, so obtaining a special summons seemed to be the most likely option.
The summoning scroll that obtained the castle.
It was a reward for a quest that suddenly came to mind, but I was dissatisfied with the fact that missions of that level had not been given since.
‘Why isn’t the quest given? If I encounter a big variable that causes the dungeon to collapse, like when carrying, will I get it again?’
She desperately hoped that the match with Ilseom would be such an opportunity, and she diligently matched her strides with the steps of the man next to her.
*
The next day.
We quickly cleared the Direwolf Dungeon and gathered in the front yard of the house.
Since the rune value of the thorn dropped after killing the boss monster was quite high, my colleagues were able to prepare for training in a good mood.
“Aww, isn’t the speed at which we run through the dungeon itself a speed run? We only run through one dungeon for 3 days and then jump to the next dungeon.”
“I have no choice but to follow Yeonhee’s progress diligently.”
“That said, I think you need at least some time to get used to it. There are benefits to be gained from stability. That’s a bit of a shame.”
When JooA took a short break before training, she complained about how fast our progress through the dungeon was.
At times like that, I firmly shake my head and block out her opinion.
Actually, it’s not just today that I say something like that.
Since I first met her, she has always played a role in controlling the growth of our party.
At first, she was a little frustrated with the situation, but these days, she is grateful.
This is because she feels that rushing is not the answer.
If you think about it that way, our party is a very well-balanced team.
They all have diverse tendencies and have their own desire for improvement.
There was almost no antagonism between them, and there was never a fight over material compensation.
Parties like this are very rare, and I am very grateful for them.
‘Anyway, I ended up not being able to meet Master yesterday.’
I entered the dark space last night, but Master did not appear.
Should I have made a fuss by firing off skills like the day before yesterday?
I felt like I was inconveniencing my teacher too much, so I waited quietly, but I should have been a little more stubborn.
Still, since you’re improving your secret skills, you can’t always make a fuss.
While I was lost in thought, Yeonhee stood up and clapped her hands.
“First of all, the training time is 10 minutes per person. Although I have warned ‘Alpha Rakan’ to be careful, there is always a risk of being fatally injured while avoiding. Please think of it as a real battle.”
Yeonhee was next to Rakan, petting him and informing him of precautions.
“Crrrrn-“
“Wow… I’m scared because I’m going to fight that idiot.”
The first opponent was Baek A-rin.
Since he has similar tendencies to Alpha Rakan, he is the easiest to deal with, and that is also what he wanted.
In order to focus on Rakan, Yeonhee had disarmed all other summons except Ran and Brother No. 1.
Rakan was jumping up and down in place, apparently feeling so happy that he couldn’t control the hot gaze watching him.
Brother No. 1 was just looking at that figure stupidly, as if he was jealous.
‘Hey, you guys, make sure you come to your senses and take a good look. Don’t keep getting hit by that guy.’
“Chulup…”
“Wow…”
Brother No. 1 has already challenged ‘Alpha Rakan’ and been defeated several times.
Thanks to this, the guys looked at the two who were about to face each other with passionate eyes, as if they would definitely overcome Rakan.
“Come!”
“Heungheung!”
Soon the two people disappeared, and for a while, only the sound of the wind filled the front yard.
“Huh… I can’t see it…”
It was so fast that Joo-ah and Eun-young couldn’t even see it.
Yeonhee and Hayun could barely follow their movements, and it seemed to me that I could already see the future that would happen a few minutes later.
‘Arin is far ahead in speed… But her weight is too low.’
Alpha Rakan, like Arin, was a speed type, but his defense power was also excellent.
Although it is not as strong as the ogre’s [Solid skin], It also has defensive characteristics, and its fluttering fur was especially effective in distracting attention.
‘The sense of distance is not right because of the abundant fur.’
The actual body is much deeper than the thick fur, so if you don’t get used to it, it will be difficult to make a proper attack.
“Aye!! Really!”
Arin was also going through such difficulties right now.
In particular, since she uses a weapon with a short blade, I had to dig in at once and use her speed to strike, but that didn’t work at all.
“Kuuuuu!!”
‘That bastard is excited.’
As for Rakan, there is no one more interesting than Arin.
And the same goes for Arin.
Sugeeook─!
“Ugh!”
“Kuhung!”
She fought for a while, and then both attacks struck at the same time, and Arin’s arm split lengthwise, spraying her blood into the air.
“Chuk chuk-“
“Ugh…”
As Rakan licked Arin’s blood with her tongue, her eyes were turning red.
After that, it was Rakan’s one-sided offensive.
Although Yeonhee was in control, as time went by, the tension built up as if she would bite Arin’s neck.
I raised my hand and gave a signal to Yeonhee, and Yeonhee ordered Rakan to step back.
“Kkiing…”
Rakan didn’t seem happy that the fun was halted.
However, the immediate response to Yeonhee’s instructions was quite impressive.
‘I guess they invested a lot in dominance. You have become a gentle puppy.’
