Chapter 24
[Administrator: (~ ? ω?)~]
‘That’s the only reaction I get when I ask. Maybe they don’t want to tell me, or maybe there’s a reason.’
Seora, who suddenly looked into the air while tapping the keyboard, shrugged. Well, does it matter? Anyway, the important thing is that I am alive now thanks to the administrator and that I am receiving so much that my heart is full.
The curiosity of the returnee was none of her business, so she decided to just ignore it.
No, she was forced to ignore it.
“A gate has occurred in Sangam district! It’s a blue gate, but it’s probably near a broadcasting station!”
It happened that there was an announcement that a dungeon had occurred. Seora’s, who had quickly blown away her thoughts, face suddenly became pale.
“I can’t believe it’s near a broadcasting station. Even if there is a slight problem, it will cause a ruckus.”
As soon as they heard that a gate had been created, people would rush with a camera. And if there was a problem, they would bite the association. There were a lot of people who thought the association that Song Hanna led was dictatorial.
Ugh. I think my life expectancy has already decreased by 10 years.
“Sangam is the area of Team 1.”
“The section chief and the general chief are neither here, so we have to go.”
Seora’s face got worse at Gong Haeyeon’s words.
Of all things! If I knew this would happen, I would have resigned as soon as I got to work! I completely forgot because I was half out of my mind due to the conversation with Kang Sejun.
Why do I keep getting interrupted whenever I try to resign? What if I can’t quit my job?
“I’m going to eat Bacchus in advance…”
[T/N: Bacchus is anti-fatigue drug]
Seora got up from her seat with a sad face.
“No need for both of you to go. I just need one person to go with me.”
Do Junyoung came and said. The two of them opened their eyes wide.
“The director is going to go there personally? Is there any problem?”
“This dungeon will be entrusted to Kang Sejun.”
Oh, I know what’s going on. They want to try to figure out what the new L-Class Awakened’s power is.
“Only one person will be dispatched.”
“In that case.”
Seora and Haeyeon looked at each other. They had been working together for three years already, so there was no need for words. They both shouted at the same time and stretched out their hands.
“Rock, paper, scissors!”
“Rock, paper, scissors!”
In a very short moment. The joy and sorrow of two people looking at each other’s hands were mixed.
***
Seora thought.
No matter how much I think about it, I guess I have rotten luck. Or maybe I’ve used up all my luck in contracting with the administrator.
“My win rate is less than 20%.”
Sangam district where the gate popped. When she saw the cameramen and reporters lined up, she quickly became depressed. There were countless occasions when she played rock, paper, scissors with Haeyeon over the past three years, but among them, Seora rarely won.
Gong Haeyeon. Can’t you read people’s minds?
“You decided who will be dispatched with rock-paper scissors?”
She could feel Kang Sejun looking at her with pity. Seora raised her eyes towards Do Junyoung from the side where he could not see her.
You… If it weren’t for you, I’d have submitted my resignation today…! It’s all your fault!
“By the way, a lot of people have gathered. Do I have to stay near the broadcasting station like this?”
Kang Sejun looked away, pretending not to see Seora’s fierce gaze. It was uncomfortable because flashes were constantly firing.
Although he had never shown his face officially, the people were all aware because they lived by their senses.
That he was an L-class Awakened.
“If it makes you uncomfortable, you can do whatever you want. No one will be able to express their displeasure with an L-class Awakened.”
“That’s what I was going to do.”
At Do Junyoung’s words, Kang Sejun immediately snapped his fingers. Suddenly, cameras all over the place exploded with crackling, squeaking noises.
“W-What!? My camera!”
“Nooo! This is a new one too!”
“Aaaaah! I didn’t back up the memory!”
Screams mixed with weeping echoed all over the place. However, there was not a single person who frowned even though they knew who did it.
Of course. If you do that, your might get your eyes plucked out. Who would risk that?
There was no one who didn’t know the story overseas of someone whose three generations’ lives were ruined after they had accidentally touched an L-class, so everyone was careful with their eyes and mouth while screaming.
Seora only began to measure the gate when the surrounding area became quiet. To be honest, it had been a little uncomfortable, but now that the camera was gone, she felt better.
“It’s a normal dungeon. Level 3.”
“Only Kang Sejun and I will go in. Yoon Seora, please wait here.”
Do Junyoung’s face contorted at the word Level 3. As he glanced at Seora, he seemed worried that she might recall some bad memories.
Seora nodded gently because she had no reason to go in.
However, Kang Sejun’s thoughts were different from Do Junyoung’s.
“No, I think it would be better for her to come and join me rather than Director Do.”
Seora’s eyes widened, and Do Junyoung frowned openly.
“It is a dangerous place.”
Kang Sejun made an indescribable expression for a moment. Seora could read his eyes accurately.
You’re really good at acting, aren’t you?
“Did you forget my skills? If we go into the Level 3 dungeon together, the monsters will not come at us.”
‘What are you talking about? I’m sure it’s the same for me.’
Unlike Do Junyoung, Kang Sejun knows that I’m an S-class. So why is he trying to take me away with such an excuse?
‘What if I don’t want to go in?’ I couldn’t hand out my resignation letter. I lost rock, paper, and scissors. And now I’ll have to watch Kang Sejun run wild?
Oh, this is a no-no.
But the moment when Seora was about to say ‘I don’t want to go’ while trembling.
[Administrator: (??ヮ?)???!!!]
The administrator pointed to the gate with great urgency.
‘I have to go in?’
[Administrator: ((?????))]
His eyes were sparkling, and Seora gasped with excitement. T-Those eyes!
‘Is there any good items in there?’
[Administrator: (((o(*>▽<*)o))))]
Hallelujah, God. No, the administrator is the god here.
‘Thank you for letting me know! I will go get some money.’
“I’m fine, sir. I will go in.”
Seora literally smiled with a face different from how she was feeling inside. The naive Director Do, who did not realize that the heart of his subordinate was beating with greed, expressed concern.
“You don’t have to push yourself. Even if the monsters are terrified, I will have no problem in understanding Kang Sejun’s skills.”
“Sir, I’m a Hunter too. I’m always prepared for danger. And now things are different.”
Seora blinked at Sejun, who still had an indescribable expression on his face. How could it be as dangerous as it was back then when she was going to be with not just an S-class, but an L-class?
Do Junyoung quickly understood the meaning.
“I’ll be back.”
Seora took out the S-class Red Mace from her inventory and tapped her hand to wedge it. Only then Do Junyoung’s face, which was full of worries, relaxed a little.
“Then, come back safely.”
“Then, let’s go.”
“… Yes.”
As Seora smiled, Kang Sejun shook his head. Seora was grateful that he was sincere in saying that he would protect her identity, but she didn’t show it until the end.
[The Awakened ‘Yoon Seora’ has entered the Level 3 dungeon ‘Magic Stone Cave’.]
“Alright! This is it!”
And in the message that popped up as soon as she entered, Seora threw away her disguise and cheered.
Look! The feast of magic stones spread out in front of me! There are gold nuggets rolling all over the place!
“Hahahaha! I never thought I’d see this in my life!”
As she applauded with a big smile, Kang Sejun shot a look as if he were looking at a crazy person, but it was none of her business.
“I’m so glad I came in! This is so nice, seriously!”
It’s magic stones! Why would I care about how you look at me when there’s so much money?
[Administrator: (*≧?≦*)]
“That’s right! I really, really love it!”
If the administrator were in front of me, I would have even kissed it!
Ah, look at the transparent and beautiful color of the magic stones. Since they’re magic stones of a Level 3 dungeon, the price must be great.
Hyaaa. A place comparable to a diamond mine that belongs only to me!
No, wait. I’m not the only one here, right?
“Hey, Kang Sejun-ssi. Do you have a lot of money?”
“Do you want to take my money…”
“Uh-huh, what are you talking about? I’m not such a bad person. I mean, if you have a lot of money, you shouldn’t take the magic stones here.”
“I was wondering why you laughed so much. Was it because of that?”
Kang Sejun finally realized why Seora laughed after looking around.
“People outside are genuinely worried about you, but you who shamelessly deceived them…”
“In that case, what about Director Do, who is disguised as an A-class? Aren’t we the same?”
“It’s still way better than a cheating F-class.”
“Anyway, we lied to each other. So let’s call it even.”
Seora took out her gloves, put the mace in her inventory, and took out a pickaxe instead. She was ready for mining.
“I heard you’re a Fire Mage? Don’t ruin the magic stones, so wait here while I dig. Or kill the monsters carefully so their remains don’t splatter.”
“I can control my firepower. Even if I can’t, I can use magic that’s not dangerous.”
“Huh? You can use other attributes? Oh, I guess L-class is different.”
With the exception of very few Mages, usually, only one attribute could be used per person. However, Kang Sejun seemed to be able to use more than one attribute.
“Then take good care of yourself. I will be busy digging for ore.”
“Do you remember that you came here to see my power?”
“Ah, I can just look at it while digging for ore. Or, I can dig it all up and you can show me when there’s more space.”
Anyway, for now, the magic stones come first!
Seora left behind Kang Sejun, who was puzzled, and started digging for the magic stones right next to her. Bang, bang, bang! The loud sound of the pickaxe was very pleasant.
Behind Seora, Kang Sejun once again made an indescribable expression.
The 6th round of life started with his fifth regression.
Somehow, he had an ominous premonition that this time, he would be involved with this crazy woman many times.
T/N: A bit of change from Chapter 21. Crack Dungeon is changed into a rift dungeon.
“Normal dungeons that were generated the most, a Dungeon Break where monsters could escape from the gate, rift dungeons where the space itself became a dungeon, and finally, the Labyrinth Dungeon that was still in the unknown.”
