I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game - Chapter 06
“Jin Yuha… fighting the goblins?”
Lee Yoo-ri raised one eyebrow and expressed her doubts.
“Ah, I‘m not saying I won’t detect anymore. I plan to continue reporting the appearance of Snakes. But, on top of that, I want to help wipe out the goblins.”
“Urn… .. You don’t have to…..”
“As you know, a Characteristics is an ability that don’t consumes mana, isn‘t it? To be honest, up until now it is as if I had been out for a walk.”
That was sincere.
The only thing I used while coming here was my hears and legs.
The ears tells you the location of snakes,
For the feet to walk all the way here.
Yuna, the porter, looked more tired than me, the dealer.
Walking in sweat with a bag the size of her body
Even when I tried to share some of it, I was rejected saying, “This is my job!”
“Jin Yuha. First of all, let me tell you so that there is no misunderstanding. The reason I’m hesitating right now isn’t because I don’t trust you.”
Lee Yoo-ri chose her words with a um —then she opened her mouth again.
“First of all, Choi So-yeon, Go Yoon-seo unni and I have been working together as a team for quite some time. And before Jin Yuha came, the dealers had been together for a long time.”
“I noticed, I was watching the team leader from behind. Continue.”
“…. You said you were watching us. Continue”
“Yes, there are moments when there is an empty space in the middle of the battle. Especially when the team leader hits the goblin with a shield and passes it to the dealer. At that time, maybe it would have been the turn of the dealer who had run away the day before….. It was usually at that time that Go Yoon-seo got hurt.”
Then, Lee Yoo-ri ‘s mouth opened in surprise.
“How did you notice all that?”
“I told you what I have seen with my eyes, I think it’s normal.”
“No, I don’t think those eyes are normal… ….”
“I will not disturb the party.”
I cut her off and said strongly.
“So, give me one chance.”
When her eyes met mine, Lee Yoo-ri averted her gaze.
“Are all the male cadets at Velvet Academy like this… .. Ha, really. He bewitches people.”
Lee Yoo-ri , who was muttering to herself in her small voice, let out her wide sigh and nodded her head slowly.
“Yes, you already said that… .. All right Instead, it’s ‘Only on the way back”. “At that time, monsters rarely appears, so we can afford to accept even a little mistake.”
“…… Yes? Way back? Are we going back now?”
When I asked in bewilderment, Lee Yoo-ri tilted her head as if I was asking for something obvious.
“Because we came. Shouldn’t we go back?”
“Ah.”
This was different from the game again.
Clearing dungeons in the game is only about moving forward, not going back the way you came.
Just defeat the boss and the [STAGE CLEAR] message will appear and you‘re done.
‘… Uhm, but I don‘t know what will happen in this real game world.”
“Yes?”
“Ah, for now, I will accept Jin Yuha‘s participation in the battle. However, other than that, there are some things that are needed to be agreed upon with the party members.”
While doing so, Lee Yoo-ri opened the plastic container that she had been messing around until now.
There was a delicious mixture of red pepper paste and various side dishes.
She had a small smile on her face.
But she quickly recovered her face, and then she spoke again in a businesslike voice.
“Then Jin Yuha. I‘m sorry, but can you go and finish your meal now and tell the party members? I’ll finish eating soon too.”
“Yes, I understand.”
I left behind Lee Yu-ri, who had started eating.
And after I finished my meal, I summoned the party members.
“Huh? Gukbap talked to you? Why?”
“Yes, there is something else.”
“Maybe it’s because Yuha oppa is trying to take care of you?”
“Yuha… brother!? You bastard! when did you become so close by yourself!”
“Ah, ah, it hurts!”
I waited for a while watching Go Yoon-seo and Yuna’s joking talk, and soon Lee Yoo-ri returned.
Then, everyone’s eyes turned to her.
“First of all, today’s clearing goal has been achieved. Even though there were uncomfortable situations like this and that, everyone did a good job.”
Lee Yoo-ri opened her mouth with a pleased voice.
At that word, clap clap clap- a small applause broke out.
“By the way, we have more time left than we thought. So we now have to make a choice.”
A word she suddenly uttered out of nowhere.
Time is running out.
What does this mean?
The Carmella Forest route we entered today was originally a 10-hour round-trip route.
It took abouts 4 hours one way, so the goal was to rest at this base camp and return.
By the way, today I arrived at the base camp in 3 hours and 30 minutes thanks to my use of Characteristic and not caring about snakes.
In other words, the 10-hour round trip was reduced to 7 hours.
It was an astonishing achievement considering that one position of dealer was empty.
“…… Wow, crazy. Somehow, today’s meal time was early! Aren’t you crazy? Jin Yuha, what the hell are you!”
Go Yoon-seo said so teasingly! I thanked her and she scratched her arm in embarrassment.
I laughed out loud when I saw that. Now I’m slowly getting used to it
“Hmm, hmm.”
Lee Yoo-ri cleared her throat and drew her attention again.
“Now I am satisfied here and it is good to go back early. The sweeping will be over soon. It is also a way to go home and rest”
“By the way… .. If that happens, three hours will be gone.”
Choi So-yeon said while touching her lips.
“Yes, sister. so we need an agreement. Shall we end the sweeping here? or will we move toward the unexplored route, the ‘unknown’?”
Unknown.
Basically, exploring an unexplored route is accompanied by risks
Under normal circumstances, it is normal not to try.
We had already used up a lot of stamina to come here, but since it was unfamiliar, few people wanted to do it by force.
Because the party usually didn’t have enough time or space to do that in the first place.
However, there is plenty of time left to recover our stamina.
It was also a very attractive option if there was still time to invest in exploration.
“The unknown, the unknown. .. Gukbap-ah, if you pioneer an unknown route, will you give me more performance bonuses?”
Go Yoon-seo, who was thinking with her arms folded, asked Lee Yoo-ri.
“Yes, I will.”
“It’s hard decision—to be honest. …. The pace is faster than usual, so it’s not difficult, isn’t it? But what worries me..There are hardly any monsters on the way back anyway, right?”
“Yes, and on the way back, Mr. Jin Yu-ha also decided to participate in the goblin eradication.”
“Eh, really? Jin Yuha?”
The late Yoon-seo turned her head and looked at me with her eyes wide open. I nodded and replied.
“Yes, attributes don’t consume mana, so I haven’t used much stamina until now. So I asked the team leader separately.”
“Well, if you step in as a second, I will be reassured. .. This is an opportunity that doesn’t happens every day. Let’s go! Unknown hurrah!”
The excited Yoon-seo raised her arms and shouted.
Then, she expressed her affirmation to see if Choi Min-yeon, who had been thinking hard about it, thought it was also worth doing.
Yuna, who was tidying up her bag that was already full, made an empty space in her bag, saying, ‘I can take even more like this!’.
They saw me willing to go to battle and accepted it without saying anything.
Now, it seemed that they trusted me even if I was a man.
I felt pretty happy that I was recognized as a party member.
“How is it Jin Yuha?”
Lee Yoo-ri asked me this time.
“I’m fine too. As I said, I have a lot of stamina left”
When all the party members agreed to the unknown exploration, Lee Yoo-ri nodded her head calmly.
“Okay. so, We have decided to explore the unknown route for the rest of the time. Then, everyone, from now on take enough rest and replenish your stamina.”
And after we recovered some of the party member’s stamina through rest.
Lee Yoo-ri raised her shield and shouted.
“Everyone, line up! Let‘s start exploring the unknown route!”
“I’m sorry for Yuha, but I think you’ll have to play the same role as before while we explore the unknown route.”
Lee Yoo-ri said as she held up her shield and moved forward.
“Yes, it is fine. It is better to reduce the variables in unexplored areas.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
“By the way, I don’t see any goblins. I don’t even sense Snakes.”
It’s already been 30 minutes since I raised my senses and we started to advance on the unknown route.
Except for the two goblins we found at the beginning, we couldn’t even meet a single monster.
Even those two ran away straight into the woods as soon as they saw us.
After that
The scenery of the green forest just continued.
The heartbeat and footsteps of the party members were nervous in this unfamiliar place.
Only the sound of leaves rustling in the wind filled the silence.
“This is too quiet.‘
“Kuh, if this happens for the rest of the way, even exploring the unknown will be easy and we can eat up the rewards, then isn’t today a lucky day?”
At that time, Go Yoon-seo broke the silence and spoke.
‘Ku, did you need to set up a flag like that?’
From a little while ago, I had an unpleasant feeling that something was tickling in my head.
I didn’t have any specific symptoms, so it wasn’t because of the senses.
‘It’s just an unfamiliar place, and everyone is nervous, so maybe I’m just feeling the same way.‘
Then suddenly, ‘Oh, wait a minute. Isn’t this….. Isn’t this intuition?’
The random traits I got from the three ‘character recommendation letters’
(Sensing) , (Opening Eyes) , (Intuition)
There were three of them.
Among them, Sensing is the ability to recognize the monster in a 100m radius in advance,
(Opening Eyes) is an ability that allows you to see as if it was daytime even when the surrounding are dark.
And the last (Intuition) .
‘A feature that warns you before the boss monsters appear in the game.’
Even now that Velvets has become a reality, it is unknown whether intuition will be the same as the game.
I don’t know yet how it works, unlike the way it warned me that the boss is going to appear on the screen with a text.
Maybe it’s just an exaggeration.
However, it could not be ignored.
Now everyone is tired because of the excessive tension.
There is not enough preparation, personal, or physical strength to deal with the boss monster.
I thought it would be the right thing to do this time.
Talk. Tok. Tok.
I tapped on the shoulder of Lee Yoo-ri , who was walking ahead.
“Jin Yuha?”
Just like that, the moment she turned her head towards me.
Jerbeok—
‘f*ck.’
From far away, a red goblin caught my eye.
The moment I saw him, my intuition set off an alarm.
At the same time,
Monsters began to get caught in the detection net in every direction.
Let’s open our eyes and tock a look around.
At some point.
We were surrounded by goblins with all sorts of weapons.
Let me look around with a distant face.
Yoo-ri slowly turned her head.
Lee Yoo-ri looked around at the monsters surrounding them with a bewildered face.
Soon, she hardened her face.
And.
Suuuu—
She took a deep breath.
“…… All of You-—-!’
She fixed her shield more tightly and gripped it.
“Retreaaat!!!”
With a loud roar, she ordered everyone to retreat
While ordering her comrades to retreat,
She is
She ran forward alone.
