NOVEL NEXT chapter 22
22 – The cat you ordered is here
‘Umm, why is my heart so uncomfortable?’
In front of the door where Ji-hoon and Han So-young entered.
For a long time, Hyena stood around as if uneasy.
I know that this doesn’t make any sense.
Because only two people can enter the maze.
But thinking that Ji-hoon and that woman are alone, something is-
‘……annoying.’
There’s just something I don’t like about that fact.
Of course, I know that Ji-hoon came out because he thought of himself.
‘As expected, I don’t like her.’
From the beginning, Han So-young blatantly pushed Jin-woo.

Keep talking and acting cute.
A fox thing that women often say!
Fortunately, Jihoon didn’t seem interested.
Just looking at Hyena made her annoyed.
‘There are a lot of other guys, but it’s clear that he’s trying to play with the innocent Ji-hoon!’
The Ji-hoon he knows is a single mother who has never met a woman.
Of course, there will be no love knowledge at all.
So, as a childhood friend, you have to protect yourself.
Absolutely not because of personal feelings!
‘Ugh! But Ji-hoon took the woman and went into the maze!’
What would that fire fox woman do to Jihoon?
I am so worried that I can’t stay still.
if something happens inside.
I will never stand still
“……If I had been strong, Jihoon wouldn’t have made that choice.”
Hyena let out a deep sigh.
Soon after, he began to walk anxiously in front of the door again.

“Hey hey! help me! go away! I hate it!”
Han So-yeong screamed at the sight of wild dogs approaching.
Me and Han So-young continued to advance through ‘The Labyrinth of the Beast’.
The more you do, the more beasts appear in front of you.
But the battle didn’t happen like before.
“Oohhhhh!”
“Keep it!”
A mighty roar that I let out.
Even the wildly roaring beasts.
With one skill, he ran away before fighting.
＜Skill Information＞
▶Skill Name: Roar
▶Rating: E
▶Level: 1
▶mana Consumption: None
▶Skill effect
: Let out a powerful roar. Lowers the morale of weak opponents.
‘This is more useful than I thought.’
A new skill obtained from the bear you just defeated.
Although the grade itself is as low as E.
Just being able to drive away the beasts is enough to be effective.
Most of all, it consumes zero (0) magic power.
It means that once you use it, there is no harm.
“Ugh, I think my ears are going to bleed.”
“I can tolerate that much.”
The only downside is that it’s noisy.
that wasn’t my job
“……What is your true identity?”
Han So-young, who was walking through the maze together, asked.
“I am a survivor just like you.”
“You didn’t ask for that!”
“Then what?”
“To knock down a bear. A normal human is impossible, right?”
“Because the world isn’t normal in the first place.”
It’s not just a story about apocalypse and destruction.
This is definitely a fictional world.
Any character can grow as long as they have a chance.
“And what are you surprised about when you also have a skill like ‘Charm’?”
“……For me, it’s just an effect I got from my job choice.”
Is it similar to Hyena’s ‘Best Driver’?
It seems to be heavily influenced by a person’s original specialty.
I get a sense of what kind of life I would have lived.
‘Perhaps Han So-young appeared in the original work?’
What happened to her when she met Yuri in the original story?
Well, it’s something I’ll never know.
“Come to think of it, why was your fascination useless?”
“Because it didn’t happen that way.”
“What, what?!”
In fact, objectively, Han So-young is also pretty.
Yuri and Hyena are so in love, right?
“Because I have a good look too? Didn’t you see the older brothers doing helllele?”
“It must be because of the fascination.”
“It has been like that since long ago.”
Was my pride hurt?
Han So-young suddenly started talking.
“If you wear revealing clothes and show some thighs, everyone can’t take their eyes off of it. If you smile and hold my hand, it will come over on its own.”
“… … .”
“Can’t you see that a woman survived among men? It’s all because I’m doing well.”
“I am not interested.”
Seriously, it was good.
I want to see the pure Hyena and the subtly blue Yurina soon.
“……How is it when there is no one at the moment? This older sister can do nice things that your girlfriend wouldn’t.”
I stopped.
Han So-young’s eyes twinkled.
“Oh, but you’re a man, so you’re interested in this, right? Of course it’s not free-“
“Shut up.”
I gripped the baseball bat tightly with both hands.
Immediately, a feeling of pressure spread through the skin.
“Kurrr!”
slowly.
But the sound of footsteps approaching.
It was a huge white tiger.
However, its size was larger than that of quite a few compact cars.
[The boss of ‘Labyrinth of the Beast’, ‘White Tiger’ has appeared!]
Huge paws and gleaming teeth.
Above all, even the blue eyes that radiate intense power.
At a glance, it was felt that it was different from the beast so far.
“Kheuuuong!”
Such a white tiger roars.
I even heard the illusion that the air trembled at the huge sound.
“Ahhh… … .”
Han So-yeong, who was standing behind her, trembled.
As I wet my legs again.
‘That woman urinates whenever she sees a beast.’
Well, I get it anyway.
The message had been popping up loudly since earlier.
[Boss monster emits intense life force!]
[The trait ‘Metafiction’ resists living!]
It was different from the mental attack the boss had sprayed the other day.
It’s not a skill, it’s a living that comes out of existence itself.
An effect so powerful that ‘metafiction’ reacted with just that.
It was already more correct to call it a ‘beast’ rather than a ‘beast’.
‘Can I win?’
Of course, the ‘Mos Zombie’ I fought before was stronger.
At that time, I only took it down with an expedient method using the sword of glass.
If you fight at the front.
To be honest, there is no chance of winning.
“Whoa.”
If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought Yuri.
I picked up my baseball bat and stepped forward.
and that moment.
‘Baekho’, who was glaring at me, also moved.
[With the effect of the item ‘Yellow Cat Shoes’, intimacy with cats increases!]
[‘Baekho’ feels close to you!]
what else is this
Boss monsters feel intimacy?
Come to think of it, ‘Yellow Cat Shoes’ had that kind of effect.
Increased intimacy with cats.
‘But it’s also effective against tigers and boss monsters?’
I raised my head and looked at ‘Baekho’.
Come to think of it, he’s just watching us.
It wasn’t really attacking.
It was in contrast to the bear’s claws swinging recklessly earlier.
“Ummm, can we not fight?”
“Cheung!”
Baekho cried softly.
As if to answer yes to my words.
I drooped my baseball bat.
Then he slowly approached Baekho and stretched out his hand.
“Hee!”
Han So-young, thinking that I would be eaten, closed her eyes tightly.
But what she thought did not happen.
“Hey, hey. Tickle. Because it tickles me.”
“Keeing.”
Charm! Charm!
The white tiger licked my cheek.
It’s so big that it can be dangerous just by itself.
The guy kindly adjusted the power.
“Looking at you like this, you look pretty good. Would you like to be friends with me?”
“Cheung!”
“Then please guide me through this maze. My friends are waiting outside.”
“Kheung!”
Baekho cried loudly and rubbed his cheek against me again.
The fluffy hair was quite soft.
“……What is that?”
Han So-young stared blankly at it.
****
After meeting Baekho.
Breaking through the maze has become much easier.
Maybe it’s because it’s a boss monster?
When the white tiger appeared, other beasts did not attack at all.
“Kuong!”
Baekho even gave me a ride on his back.
I never thought I would ride on the back of a tiger in my lifetime.
It feels like a childhood dream has come true.
‘It’s fluffy and comfortable.’
Thanks to that, I was able to break through the maze very comfortably.
Wouldn’t this be the most comfortable boss fight?
“Why, why don’t you give me a ride?”
At that time, Han So-yeong, who was running hard next to her, shouted.
At first, she also tried to ride on the back.
“Kreur!”
“Hee!”
Baekho growled, so I couldn’t.
“They hate the smell.”
“Ugh!”
Han So-young’s face turned red.
It was also true that grown women kept peeing.
“Well, then you can just ask for a ride!”
“Because I am not the owner, but a friend.”
This relationship is obviously only because Baekho likes me.
It’s not that I dominate or anything like that.
You can’t force yourself to do something you don’t like.
“Thanks to him, I was able to get through without a fight. Just quietly follow me.”
How far did you travel on the backhoe?
We finally reached the end of the maze.
[‘Beast’s Labyrinth’ has been cleared!]
[You can move on to the next room!]
[The beast maze will automatically disappear.]
as soon as the message pops up.
The maze began to collapse.
The floor goes off all over the place.
Stone dust also falls from the ceiling.
It must have been that the labyrinth would disappear on its own after clearing it.
“Cheung!”
The white tiger, the monster in the maze.
The body glowed and disappeared.
“…Did you guide me even though you knew this would happen?”
“Kahuh~”
Baekho rubbed his face at me again.
I stroked my fluffy chin with my hand.
Although it was a short encounter, the opponent was a monster.
At the same time, it was also a special experience.
“…I was able to come this far thanks to you. thanks.”
“Cheung!”
at the end of that answer.
The white tiger completely turned into particles and disappeared.
In the first place, the monster seems to disappear once the maze is cleared.
Although it is unavoidable.
Still, it was just as disappointing.
‘I hope we can meet again someday.’
The prestige, the actions you do.
It didn’t look like an ordinary monster.
If you continue to survive in this novel, wouldn’t you be able to see it someday?
“Then we can escape quickly.”
Took.
Suddenly I felt a force pushing against me.
Maybe it’s because I was slightly sentimental after sending Baekho?
Unprepared, I was falling into a collapsed pit.
“sorry. I know you’re a great person.”
I saw Han So-yeong in my field of vision.
She had a cold expression on her face as she pushed me.
“I’m not interested in men who don’t listen to me.”
Since when did you intend to betray?
It didn’t matter.
The important thing is that you can’t be beaten like this.
I reflexively ran my hand through her long hair.
“Ah! for a moment! Get your hair pulled… Ah.”
Her struggling body also floated in the air.
I smiled at Han So-young, who had a shocked expression on her face.
“If you want to die, you must die together.”
Just like that, the two of us fell into the pit.
