I Became the Villain’s Childhood Friend

* * *

The tumultuous time passed again.

One day, Cheonmari handed me a note saying that it was time to go.

The address was written on a small, square piece of paper.

When I asked where this place was, she answered.

“Nartica headquarters address.”

I waited, but the moment was not welcome.

Even though I said I wanted to do it, the moment I forgot about because I was anxious had arrived.

“Come to the entrance here by 10 a.m. tomorrow. I’ll be there first.”

It was an opportunity that would never come again.

Even though it was hard, I had to persevere.

I sighed, thought about my general fitness, and took a taxi the next day.

The destination was the outskirts of Sariwon.

It is a place where the land price is cheap and the flat land is quite good.

At the same time, guilds and companies that need to use the World Gate often are scattered.

Just as general manufacturing companies occupy quite a lot of land when including factories and play grounds.

Companies related to World Gate used to form a gigantic complex with complex facilities built around the headquarters building.

Here, a company called Nartika was also the same.

When I got off the landed taxi, the sight I saw was a mixture that seemed to be halfway between an industrial complex and a city.

There were countless huge buildings and residences for employees, and there was also a lot of infrastructure to support them.

As such, there were a lot of people walking around the company.

The small and medium guild I went to on a picnic in elementary school was less than half of this size.

It seemed that now I understood why Chunma was openly sarcastic at that time.

slowly slowly.

Looking around, I headed towards the entrance.

It’s so obvious, but the guards didn’t let me in.

I just kept repeating the words ‘This is not here, kid’, ‘Do you have an invitation?’, ‘This is a dangerous place, go back quickly’.

As I was about to call Chunmari, I felt a soft and strange feeling on my back.

As he tried to turn around, he felt a weight on his shoulders and his arms wrapped around his neck.

piggyback.

oh f*ck

“Gyaap! You crazy bastard!”

“Come on, let’s go.”

A thousand birds sneaking up on her back were carried on her back.

I screamed and tried to pull her away.

However, the thousand were stuck like chewing gum and would not come off no matter what they did.

The more I moved, the more my physical strength was consumed.

Resistance close to rodeo was ultimately frustrated.

In the end, with her back slightly bent, I caught her between her thighs and hamstrings and carried her completely.

“… … .”

There was a weak smile on the faces of the guards who intuited this scene right in front of their noses.

It was like watching children who were obsessed with playing house.

“Oh, I have to show you this.”

Chunmari took out a card from his pocket and showed it to the guards.

They looked at it, wondering what it was, and suddenly bowed their heads.

“ah! Hurry up and open the door!”

The entrance opened and I headed inside the company with her.

I was in the middle of going straight because I didn’t know the exact destination.

“That way, that way.”

He pulled my hair and pointed at a huge laboratory-like building.

However, on the other side was a gym-type building teeming with people wearing sportswear.

Thinking it was a mistake, I asked if it was over there.

They said it wasn’t a thousand, so they told me to go to a place that looked like a laboratory.

I was dubious and headed to a place that looked like a laboratory.

– Special Training Center

signage in front.

I thought it was a laboratory, but it didn’t seem like it.

Upon entering the building, another guard appeared asking for identification.

Chunmari handed over the card as before.

“… … ?”

The guards looked at me strangely, and the door opened slowly.

It was as if he was expressing sympathy for the poor guy who couldn’t even open his eyes.

To be honest, I was a bit pitiful.

A childhood friend from kindergarten gets stabbed in the back of the head, and the new friend instead has a very strange personality.

“Now to the elevator! Basement 2nd floor!”

“Yes, yes~”

Although there was a minor incident where the thousand collided with the upper part of the elevator, we were able to reach the second basement level anyway.

I continued to follow a thousand horses with bump marks on their foreheads until I reached a small gym.

“… … ? I think I’d be better off just going to the local gym.”

Exercise equipment varied.

However, since the number itself is small, it seemed difficult to accommodate many people.

Just enough to test or measure something.

Moreover, since I didn’t see anyone like an instructor, I seriously thought the local gym would be better.

“Marie, I know you’re trying to strength-train me. Are you sure you don’t have a fitness trainer?”

“A fitness trainer? Why do you need that?”

I’m going to exercise anyway.

Goosebumps broke out all over my body.

It seemed that the road to the underworld was right in front of me, and as if to announce it, a thousand horses came down from my back.

“There are workout clothes in the men’s locker room. Change into it and come.”

When I came out of the locker room after changing, I saw that the other side had also changed clothes.

Chunmari spread a mat on the hard floor and took out a book from the bookshelf in the corner.

[Raising the body of a hunter in a short period of time taught by a former Marine Corps]

The title is unusual, and the cover is even more unusual.

She laid the book open on the floor and began to follow the plank.

“This is this… … Oh, you can do it like this.”

It seemed that he was not trying to tell me the moves he was memorizing, but rather, he was going to tell me one by one after reading the book.

If this is the case, I think it would be better to just talk to the trainer or another hunter.

“what are you doing? It’s a basic stretch. Follow me too.”

Still, I couldn’t refuse someone who worked hard for me.

Following Chunmari, I did basic warm-up and stretching.

It was a bit difficult, but not to the point of being impossible.

After preparing for the start for about 30 minutes, I sat down on an exercise machine in the corner.

chest press.

A device that allows you to exercise by gently pushing the handle while seated.

Chunmari continued to hold the posture, and designated the number of pushes and the set to proceed.

“50 reps, 6 sets.”

but is this correct?

Does this feel a bit too much?

If you’re a beginner, don’t you usually do this?

I had all kinds of questions, but I had no choice but to follow her words.

Even though I didn’t like this in the first place, I was prepared to some extent.

However, when you complete a set, a lot of your stamina is depleted.

When everything was completed, the feeling that my chest and arms were going to break down exploded beyond discharge.

“Now let’s take a break and move on to the next one.”

“Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha… … .”

can i do more of this?

No matter how you look at it, it seems that now is the limit?

I felt pessimistic and listened again.

It was even more so after I was forced to finish the next exercise.

I feel like my body can’t do its job after two workouts.

However, Cheonmari did not care and directed the exercise.

“Mary… … This is the right thing to do… … ? I’m in so much pain… … .”

“That’s what exercise is all about. It hurts and it’s hard.”

However, this was a level that went beyond being painful and difficult.

It was a pain that craved the whole part, and it was too much sensation for beginners.

In the end, as the strength of the whole body was drained, further progress became impossible.

This happened 2 hours after starting the gym.

Inevitably, it was announced that further progress would be difficult.

The thousand nodded in agreement, and thanks to that, I got off the balloon.

It’s a guess, but since I’m in this condition today, I thought I’d skip tomorrow and start again around the day after tomorrow.

Otherwise, it felt like a sustainable movement would be impossible.

After that, it was the moment I was about to lie down on the floor to recover my physical strength.

The thousand horses supported me and headed somewhere.

I wasn’t going home because I didn’t change my clothes.

As I was walking down the hallway and thinking about where I was going, one word caught my eye.

– recovery room

I thought it would be over there, but unfortunately, I was headed there.

In the recovery room, there was a water tank filled with blue liquid and people in white coats who might be doctors or researchers.

I thought it would be good to say hello, so I lowered my head weakly.

Cheeky-

He fell as if he had been thrown to the floor.

I feel like my whole body doesn’t belong to me.

It was truly terrifying and hopeless.

The thousand horses picked me up and headed somewhere.

When I rolled my eyes, the direction I was heading was predicted at once.

“water tank?”

A blue water tank inside the recovery room.

A place where even fish couldn’t survive was a big threat to me.

I moved around and tried to deny it.

However, all that came back was the explanation of a thousand birds trying to reassure them.

“A water bath of the finest elixir mixture. Even if you stay here for 10 minutes, your muscles will recover, as well as any muscle pain or fatigue.”

“Oh no! What is the price of the elixir… … ! To receive something like this, our family’s financial situation… … .”

“Anyway, as long as you provide data for research, it’s free. Nartika is a company based on potion manufacturing. Don’t worry about the money and go in.”

“Still, this is too luxurious—— growl.”

Surprisingly, after about 10 minutes, the body returned to its original state.

No, it felt like a subtle upgrade rather than a return.

It was a while to laugh at the fact that the results of the health were applied right away.

The thousand horses dragged me back to the gym.

“Okay, let’s do it one more time~”

“Eh?”

It was.

Being able to move normally meant being able to exercise again.

Once again I was plagued with pain and hours of exercise.

And again, I fell into a time of exhaustion and recovery.

“Where am I? Who is this?”

“Seeing that you still have the strength to speak, you can even do leg extensions.”

Workout, recovery, workout, recovery, workout, recovery, workout, recovery, workout, recovery.

The feeling of being soaked in an elixir and being raped with a gym machine.

The feeling of not knowing whether the brain moves the body or the body moves the brain.

There is no romance, no common sense, only pain.

I thought to myself why I had to do this.

“Wow, are you in good shape? Then let’s do it just one more time.”

“this… … Am I right?”

If you usually read fantasy novels, don’t you do that to build up your body before training?

Climbing the mountain behind the neighborhood, diligently digging trees from the mountain, gulp rare growth items, holding a log, holding on, doing push-ups and running.

where did all that go

Why am I doing modern fitness?

Even the vlogs of aspiring hunters working out were not up to this level.

Most of the time, I did some bench press, looked at my phone gracefully at a cafe, flirted with a girl, and went home.

Even considering the exaggeration due to the nature of WiTube, I thought that hunters exercised roughly at that level.

Was it really all a lie?

I feel like I want to scream right now.

I really didn’t have the strength to do that.

“Kangshi, that doesn’t mean that your ancestors will listen to you through magic.”

“Ghehehe.”

ancestors… … Help me… … .
