I Became the Villain’s Childhood Friend

26 – [1] Behind the scenes

#026

* * *

There was one ruin.

A very old and dilapidated refuge built thousands of years ago.

It was not destined to become an isolated place like it is now.

However, at some point, the times changed rapidly, and the shelter was changed as a result of not being able to read it.

Of course, it wasn’t completely forgotten.

A nearby elven village was aware of the existence of these ruins.

However, the unfortunate thing was that the original purpose was unknown.

To them, the ruins were only traces of the old world and fragments of mystery.

A strange place, and a dangerous place.

In fact, that was a normal reaction too.

Since it is such a deep and old place, it was not possible to know what dangers there would be, and the testimonies of people who came and went supported this.

Occasionally immature children came in and out, but they only added to the danger by losing their lives in unfortunate accidents or barely getting out.

That’s why the Far North Elves living in the village tried to ban entry to the ruins.

That was until one day, humans belonging to the ‘government’ brought a vehicle that was used only in the far south from the north, where there was nothing but blocks of ice.

“Hey little friend! I’m thinking of laying the track this way, but if there is a chief or a chief, could you call me?”

“I am the chief… … Wait what kid? Hey, how many thousand are you?

Unexpectedly, those who came from another world were fluent in the language of the elves in the Far North.

It was very suspicious, but there were not only humans in the mount.

Members of other tribes were riding as well and they brought some news.

At the northern end, there was a council of elders where the most influential elders gathered, and a decision was made to join the new government.

A new government that succeeds the government that collapsed at the end of the distant past.

It was very difficult that the subject was the government of another world.

It wasn’t strange when they turned the knife towards them.

But the government promised safety.

He even talked about guaranteeing equal rights and supplying food, which was a chronic problem, according to negotiations with the elders.

It was important to eat and live in other worlds other than Earth.

Especially if it is a place where self-sufficiency is difficult, such as the northern end.

It was too good a condition to refuse.

In the end, I had no choice but to accept it.

So the government’s support came into the village, and it lost its old look in every way.

Houses built of wood have disappeared and houses made of bricks and insulation have been built.

The muddy dirt road was removed and a dirt road with anti-slip magic appeared.

The simple station that looked like a bus stop has changed to a train station where you can avoid the wind.

“Why do I smell Gangwon-do and Hamgyeong-do in an unfamiliar place?”

Some protested that it seemed to have been copied and pasted from a rural area on the Korean Peninsula, and that it should be decorated in a more distinctive way.

However, it was not accepted because there was too little time and budget to preserve and coexist culture.

“Here, chief. I heard that there is an old ruin behind the village here.”

Still, he did not let go of the culture at all.

Instead of common large-scale civil engineering projects, relatively small-scale projects were started.

“Yes, there is one. Why?”

“I’m thinking of reusing it as a local tourist attraction, is that okay?”

“Yes?”

As is often the case with this government, it was pushing budgets in the wrong places.

It was right to oppose it, but the villagers agreed to the news that they would change the Aemul complex.

It was because the ruins that people come to visit were much better than the labyrinth where 5 people go and 4 people disappear or 2 people go and 3 people come out.

The ruins were reborn after the efforts of hunters with military status and hunters from public corporations.

It was changed from a dangerous ruin to a museum where history and relics were organized.

Naturally, the deserted village was crowded with people, and the appearance of the village changed even more rapidly.

It was the moment when I realized that there is nothing as sweet as capital, and it was the moment when my quality of life improved.

But one day something happened, and that atmosphere took a turn for the worse.

“Everyone, grab your equipment and move quickly!”

“Hunter… … ? Did something happen just now?”

“Yes, there have been reports that a hidden room and gate have been found on the lowest level of the ruins.”

A gate was found in a hidden room.

Everyone was evacuated, and hunters were put in at the request of the ‘Hunter Committee’, which was once called the ‘Hunter Association’.

I should have been embarrassed, but I wasn’t embarrassed.

Because it was a gate we had seen so many times, everyone was relieved and enjoyed their daily lives as usual.

Then it was a moment.

“Everyone pitch a tent and quickly lay down the food! Hunters, prepare to enter!”

“… … ? Who are you over there?”

“The Korean government, it came from the Dimensional Order Department.”

People who give off a very intimidating atmosphere.

Central government bureaucrats and hunters came in droves.

Soon after, a number of students rushed down from the mountain, and the seriousness of the work was guessed.

It was clear that something was tightly screwed up.

Without that, there would be no way people who wouldn’t normally have anything to do would come like this.

“Dimensional Order? A central administrative agency in charge of hunters and gates? this… … What the hell is going on?”

“The dungeon gate attack failed. In the midst of that, there are students who have failed to evacuate.”

“Oh my gosh.”

Attack failure, increased gate risk, precarious ruins, and isolated students.

Because of this, as soon as the news arrived, the central government came out directly.

The central government hastily started digging up the ruins.

The will was full, but the structure was sluggish because the ruins were so deep.

Even though the embargo was lifted, the case was even reported as an article, and public opinion expanded little by little, but it was still the same.

It was said that there was no progress, only drilling through the ground.

By the time 50 hours had passed, not everyone was holding out much hope.

It was because a long time had passed for the student to endure alone.

According to the person who escaped as if he were running away, he was the only hunter who survived.

It is impossible for those trapped below to seek help from the Hunters.

Drinking water is available, but food is absolutely lacking.

Even if you hold on, there is no possibility of getting it out in time.

Even a snow storm came during the rescue, and it came to the point of having to temporarily evacuate.

Just in case, I checked the biological reaction with magic before withdrawing, but there was no trace of a person anywhere on the upper floor.

or died a while ago

in the middle and lower tiers.

There was no hope for anything.

In fact, it was realistic to see that only the corpse remained.

The situation had reached this far, and the families of the missing persons were on the verge of going crazy.

In the end, it even came to the point that the rescue operation was to be carried out directly.

In an impatient situation, it was decided that more manpower would be put into the rescue.

Of course, it was after the snow storm stopped due to safety and efficiency issues.

It was the morning of the next day when the deadline approached.

A piece of news was delivered to the families of the missing people who stayed up all night nervous.

“I heard that the kids went down to the lowest floor, beat the boss, broke through the gate, escaped on their own, crossed the mountain, and walked to the station?”

“???”

what kind of nonsense is this

It was a list of impossible words, and it was a series of actions that made people doubt their ears.

However, when I heard the news that he was transferred to the hospital and went to visit him, the nonsense became the truth.

I don’t know how it happened, but I really survived.

Of course, as much as they went through extreme environments, the physical condition of the two was quite bad.

“That Sian… … ?”

“I want to get a good night’s sleep, but I’d appreciate it if you give me some painkillers.”

After a little conversation, I was able to get on the operating table.

After the operation, I fell asleep in the hospital room.

It was futile, but unlike numerous concerns, everything ended smoothly and safely.

Both Kangxian and Chunmari could be said to be fortunate.

“… … .”

“… … .”

However, the family was a little dumbfounded.

I was worried all the time, but I couldn’t come back alive on my own, so I looked mentally fine.

Unsurprisingly, people outside of my family also felt some of that.

Representatively, there were community users.

＜Still, I hope the surgery goes well ㅇㅇ＞[8]

＜Surgery results are out!＞[34]

＜Breaking News＞ Surgery completed… … Give me some more painkillers so I can get a good night’s sleep… … .＞[48]

＜Now, if you are a hunter who is being pushed back by the 1st graders, let it go hahahaha

＜I’m an elf who’s over 200 years old, but if I can’t even catch a C-class boss, I’ll be damned lol＞[21]

＜You defeated a C-class boss in an isolated place, climbed over a mountain in a bloody state, and walked to the train station, but your talent is at the bottom?＞[25]

(Manager) ＜Writings that cross the line are still subject to renewal.＞[21]

＜What does an A-class hunter, a goblin, do without acting at times like this?＞[41]

＜I just got into a fight with a lich, but how did you get the lich head with just two people???＞[44]

maybe, maybe.

In fact, it was a little different from my family.
