Chapter 39 (1/2)
Chapter 39 Event Dungeon (2)
Midterms ended I had no classes on Fridays, so Thursday was the last day of my midterms It was also the class I happened to share with Su Ye-Eun
I vaguely thought she'd hitclasses with Su Ye-Eun, I started avoiding food with potatoes
”Let's celebrate the end of midterms with beer and fries!”
”I expected nothing less”
”Let's go, shi+n!”
”How did the test go?”
”Kyaaaak!”
Su Ye-Eun answered e?
'Soirl…'
When the communication channel opened last time, I was almost scared out of my wits It was almost like it happened because I went to eat fries with her In a displeased tone, I asked Su Ye-Eun
”Don't you have any friends other than me? Anyone you have classes with?”
”N-No one talks to me”
”Then stop alearing your hoody”
With the hoody covering her face, Su Ye-Eun's presence disappeared coht it was some passive skill With her pretty face, people would be all over her if she just dressed up a little…
”I hate getting attention”
”You really have a tiresome personality”
”It's fine, I have you”
For aout froht in a trap? By this zero social skills, zero presence, monsterphobia, potato witch?
”Coo!”
”Yeah, yeah, I'”
They said words sowed seeds I didn't believe in it, but I decided to believe it fro a beer and fries, the TV on the as showing a strange place
It was suspicious I began to hate this shop famous for its fries
[Breaking news At a shopping ht suddenly shot up to the sky This pheno observed in other countries' main cities…]
On TV, I saw a shopping ht As if that wasn't enough, the black light was shooting up into the sky, for a pillar visible froes from major cities in other countries japan's Osaka, A, Britain's London, etc They were all large cities with huge population densities
[Experts consider this phenoovern to Article 7 Section 1 of New Moon Act, the governpo District residents and has dispatched Guardian's Special Forces]
New Moon Act It was a law created after Two Moon to deal with overnment's response when a monster-related disaster occurred For example, the code of conduct, safety measures for citizens, and federal assistance for any e received
Although it had many faults and led to endless protests, it was still convenient in times of crisis like this
”S-Scary… Right?”
”Hmm I wonder what it is”
Black light Major cities
Just looking at theh the TV screen, I could feel the o frohts were That was the feeling I had
”Dungeons”
”shi+n, did you say so?”
”H?”
Su Ye-Eun looked at ely
”Didn't you just say so about pancakes1? I like pancakes too”
”Pancakes? What pancakes? I'o to the… dungeon”
”Hm?”
”Dungeon!”
I shouted out loud As if in response, the black light shooting up fro's appearance No, it rong to say it was a building It was a whirlpool of black s an oames!
At the sae noona's voice ina lot of business trips recently
[Event Dungeons have been created on Earth! When cleared, you can obtain various rewards such as stat points or skill points!]
All Awakened on Earth likely thought this: It's finally here
All dungeon explorers on Earth likely thought this: Those are Event Dungeons!?
I quickly opened the co away in it
[You all heard it right? Those are Event Dungeons!]
[Unni, you're going to go?]
[Of course! You should come with me, Sumire!]
[B-But…]
[If you die in an Event Dungeon, aren't you dead for real?]
At Edward Walker's words, the two girls beca, even if it was so I did not really want to admit
This world was different froiven second chances
As such, adventuring had a danger inco a week's worth of time
[These Event Dungeons are dangerous I can smell it The sweeter the reward, the more lethal the poison they bear]
[Then are you just going to leave them be? The rewards will disappear if other Awakened clear them Are you that much of a scaredy-cat? How can you call yourself a British citizen?]
[Shut it, Mastiford I don't see what that's got to do with it Me being British has nothing to do with acting like a fool who doesn't know fear]
Well said, Mister Walker!
[The dungeons we've been going to until noere like ga hit by uaranteed your lives And when you won, you were guaranteed rewards But not now It's a gamble with your life on the line No matter hoeet the reward seems, it's not worth it]
[Ho, you're ined, or should I say cowardly? Shouldn't a erous it is and come out victorious!?]
Father, who had fought against a tiger barehanded and won, had the right to say that That said, I won't forgive hiht one when I was only 13 years old! Even if I won in the end!
[Heons?]
[Think about it I'eon, I would be advertising to the whole world that I'm an ability user]
[So you were just talk after all]
[… You, do you want to make a trip to Korea? I'll welcome you wholeheartedly With my spear, that is]
Father… I felt I needed to interfere before father started fighting Walker I also needed to point out so
[Sorry everyone, but before we talk about the benefits we can gain as dungeon explorers, there's so important we need to address]
[Ah, Yeon Hoo! Great! Why did you ignoreyou for a while!]
[Hm? I had the communication channel turned off, why?]
[Ugggaaaah! How annoying!]
I ignored Mastiford's screa and continued
[You guys knohat happens when you clear an Event Dungeon, right?]
[I haven't entered one before, but I've heard about it]
[Ah, I've cleared it before Huhu, twice in fact! And for one of them, an Event Raid hap… Ah!]
Mastiford as excitedly bragging cried out in shock It see to say
[The Event Raid… You're right]
[That's right I remember now]
Eh? Father, you're on the 21st floor now!? I didn't think he'd catch up toElixir, I didn't payup
[That's right If we rashly clear one, a raid boss ht appear and make the situation worse We need to co]
[H, wouldn't the Awakened be dispatched?]
[That's true… Mastiford, didn't you brag about being a SS-rank ability user with public trust? This is your opportunity to shi+ne Send the world a warning]
[Mmm, I'll try I'll try but… I don't really have much power, you know? Britain has another SS-rank ability user so ht Plus, Korea isn't a powerful country This is exactly why I wanted to create an organization of dungeon explorers!]
[Miss Mastiford, I' you should use your personal authority as a SS-rank ability user Don't you understand the weight your words carry? Don't talk to the government, talk to the mass media! You can even hold a press conference if you want We need to prepare the entire world, whether we clear the dungeon or not!]
[E-Even if you suddenly co! Hmph!]
[Unni…]
As I was chatting in the communication channel, I naturally hadout of her nored her gaze and turned to the TV There, I saw a letter written on top of the Dungeon Gate It was undoubtedly the letter 'A'!
[Mister Walker, if you knehat difficulty the Event Dungeon you had to enter ould you do?]
[I would still hesitate That said, given that I have soeon, I could prepare er I would have to eventually face, overcoer would have some merit]
