Chapter 41
Kang Yoo Hyun approached me with quick steps. He already looked scary, and even walked while looking at me, so I was honestly a little scared. Kang Yoo-hyun, who came close to me, opened his mouth.
“Did you eat a lot?”
“Uh? Me?”
“…”
Kang Yoo-hyun looked at me without answering.
What? Is this bastard the type to watch others eat? I nodded my head in confusion.
“What? I eat a lot. I’m going to eat more.”
“…”
“Why don’t you eat, too?”
I couldn’t stand the awkwardness and advised him to eat. For some reason, Kang Yoo-hyun looked at me again then turned away.Phew, I sighed secretly and stared at the stir-fried noodles. It was when I picked up a lot of stir-fried noodles with chopsticks to eat another second round. Kang Yoo-hyun, who piled up something on his plate, came to the table.
As I was about to eat my stir-fried noodles, I glanced at where Kang Yoo-hyun sat. It’s because I couldn’t help being curious about what food the main character chose. And when I saw the black stuff piled up like a mountain, I opened my eyes wide.
Jajangmyeon?1 Did that bastard just pile up a lot of Jajangmyeon?
I looked at Kang Yoo-hyun sitting in his seat with bewilderment.
“Why?”
“…No, it’s nothing.”
I smiled awkwardly and turned my head again.
Well, simple is the best. Jajangmyeon is delicious, anyway. There are many more delicious dishes, but I don’t understand why he only picks and eats Jajangmyeon, but I have to respect his taste. And he might really want to eat Jajangmyeon inside the gate. Maybe I will also do the same.
After a hard rationalization, I quickly averted my gaze again. It was because I wanted to see the rare scene of the main character eating his food in person. Things were so hectic in the morning that I couldn’t see it properly.
I opened my eyes to the sides and felt like I was about to become a flat fish. But when I glanced at the direction where Kang Yoo Hyun was, I was taken aback.
“…!”
None? There’s no Jajangmyeon?
Where the hell did it go? It was there earlier. I definitely saw it.
“Why?”
“…”
Kang Yoo-hyun asked again with an indifferent face. I stared at him blankly, unable to find the words to answer.
There was Jajangmyeon before, but now it’s gone.
Confused by the Jajangmyeon that disappeared in an instant, I asked in surprise.
“You finished eating already?”
“…?”
Kang Yoo-hyun looked at me as if what was the problem. Looks like I’m the only one surprised here. Everyone was busy eating their own food. I became slightly embarrassed, so I cleared my throat and continued talking.
“Cough, um, you’re eating very… fast, uh.”
Does he have a survival instinct or something? Well, I guess he couldn’t even eat comfortably here. I looked at Kang Yoo-hyun pitifully.
Anyway, I scoop the stir-fried noodles again with the thought of finishing what I ate. Soon after, Kang Yoo-hyun, who went to the buffet again, returned and put something down in front of me.
“Eat it.”
“…?”
Is this… sweet and sour pork?2 Why is he suddenly bringing this to me? When I looked at him suspiciously, Kang Yoo-hyun spoke with a cold face.
“You have to eat a lot.”
“Oh?”
I frowned because I was dumbfounded, and the guys who were watching from both sides started saying something too.
“That’s right, Yi Jin-i, you should eat a lot.”
“Right, look at your arm that looks like it’s going to break.”
“…”
Look at these jerks getting united only at times like this.
For reference, Han Yi-jin’s body was not that skinny so they felt sorry for him. He was close to 180 cm, he was muscular, he was B-ranked, and he was extremely strong compared to ordinary people because he was an awakener.
Of course, he was still at a low level and slightly lacking in the physical strength for being an awakener. Still, I mean they don’t need to look at me with pity and sympathize with me.
Damn S-class bastards. It must be nice that you guys are tall, strong and fit. Compared to them, Han Yi-jin’s physique was embarrassing.
“Ah, I will take care of myself!”
“You have to eat evenly, Yi Jin-ah. Don’t just eat noodles.”
“…”
No, didn’t Kang Yoo-hyun also only eat Jajangmyeon since earlier?
“Hyung, say ah. Ah~”
“Fuck off!”
Yong-sik, who was lying at my feet, opened his eyes when I shouted in disgust. Yong-sik, who responded to my shout, growled at them and bared his teeth.
“Grrr…”
“Yong-sik, we’re not fighting. Calm down, good.”
I managed to calm Yong-sik who was very excited, and looked at the table. Then I took a big spoonful of sweet and sour pork.
“Alright, I’ll eat. Gonna eat it. You guys.”
When I put it in my mouth and chewed it, the crispy and thin fried texture and savory pork gravy spread out.
Mmm, delicious. It tastes so good that it melts away my displeasure at being treated like a child. I continued eating the sweet-and-sour pork as if I was possessed.
That’s how I ended up overeating. I was slightly afraid that rumors would soon circulate that a pig was being raised in the Odin Guild’s shared accommodation.
“Phew…”
I went to the meeting room, patted my stomach. This was because Park Yoon-sung said he would be holding a dungeon briefing. The meeting room was also in the shared accommodation.
How big is this place? It looked like an ordinary house on the outside, but there were many things inside like a multiplex.
In the basement here was a training area where you could do simple exercises and use your abilities to your heart’s content. And next to it, there was a games arcade and a cinema, which Eden was obsessed about. They were all state-of-the-art facilities.
And there’s a swimming pool on the roof, and I honestly don’t know why it’s there. I wonder if I can swim leisurely there. Still, I wanted to try the sauna next to it. I heard the bath water there is alkaline hot spring water.
Anyway, the first floor is a residential area with individual rooms and a dining area, and when you go up to the second floor, you will find a large meeting room. It was too spacious to be a meeting room used by only about five people.
Is that a beam projector on the ceiling? The screen in front of me was so big that I felt like I was in a movie theatre. Why on earth would there be a cinema in the basement? I thought it would be suitable to turn off the lights and watch a movie here.
Haha, I laughed and sat down. There was hot tea in front of us as if someone had prepared it in advance. It was strange that I had never seen anyone here besides us.
I glanced at both sides, and Park Yoon-sung came in at the right time. Our eyes met and he smiled as he approached.
“How’s the accommodation? How have you been?”
“It’s very good.”
I nodded and glanced at the others. To be honest, I feel like I’m living with time bombs, but the accommodation itself was excellent. It was too luxurious for a small fry villain to enjoy.
“That’s great. Please feel free to let me know if you have any inconvenience.”
“Yes…”
Park Yoon-sung walked past me and headed for the top seat. He didn’t even ask the others if they were doing well.
As I looked at him a little awkwardly, Park Yoon-sung took a look at us. And he opened his mouth looking at Eden and Kang Soo-hyun.
“The Freya Guild contacted me and they were very pleased with the additional manpower.”
“Then…?”
“From the guild’s point of view, it can be seen as excessive manpower support… but it doesn’t matter.”
Park Yoon-sung laughed and drove in the wedge.
“Let’s have all four of you enter this dungeon.”
“Yes!”
“Ha…”
Eden looked as happy as if he were going on a picnic. What if the dungeon changes into an SS-grade again? I was very worried about Kang Soo-hyun, who had a dungeon with Eden, an A-class, for the first time.
“…”
Well, it’ll be okay if we have Kang Yoo-hyun and my skills, right? Hopefully.
I nodded inwardly, recalling Kang Yoo-hyun, who became unparalleled in the Niflheim dungeon. Maybe he could beat the boss mob as easily as he did back then…
Wait, the Sæ dungeon boss mob?
When I belatedly recalled the problem, my heart immediately felt suffocated.
“The Sæ dungeon will be opened near Wangsan Port in Incheon. Because it is close to the airport, it is ranked high among the dungeon break management areas. Also, since there are not many dungeons open in the sea, the clear reward—”
I couldn’t hear Park Yoon-sung’s words as he continued his explanation. Come to think of it, I was distracted by other things and don’t remember the details of the novel.
“There are five areas here in total. The first and second areas have no peculiarities, but the third and fourth areas are a bit peculiar. This is because you enter one of the two at random. Therefore, the mid-boss you face will also be different. And if you defeat the middle boss in the third or fourth area, a boss mob will appear.”
The problem was this. In the third area, the Pearl room, the Mermaid mid-boss will appear, and in the fourth area, the Scale room, the Naga mid-boss will appear.
Normally, after the second area, one would randomly enter the third or fourth area. However, this will not be the case this time. Because the main character has to flirt with the heroine!
Only Kang Yoo-hyun and Song Yoo-bin will pass to the fourth area, while the others will enter the third area. There’s no reason why. Perhaps the author wanted to leave them alone.
With the absence of SS-class Kang Yoo-hyun and Valkyrie leader Sung Yoo-bin, it was very dangerous for the remaining personnel to deal with the middle boss.
I looked at Park Yoon-sung anxiously.
- Black-bean-sauce noodles.
- Can be beef too.
