chapter 8
8 – The second summon failed, but it’s cute.
As Yeon-hee started to speak, Jo Ki-man bent his upper body forward and showed the utmost interest.
“Some slime fell from the branch.”
“Did the slime just fall off the branch?”
“Oh, yes. I was startled when I suddenly heard a sound from behind, but I took it down immediately.”
“Hmm… That’s right.”
‘Oh, Yeonhee Nice! I don’t know why you’re lying, but it’s a neat answer.’
Jo Ki-man still looked around at Lee Yeon-hee and made a suspicious expression, but when Kang Kang-soo tapped him hard on the shoulder, he cleared his throat and stood up.
After that, only conversations about the terms of the guild contract and future activities between Kang Kang-soo and Lee Yeon-hee went back and forth.
Starting with my opinion that the guild highly appreciated Yeon-hee’s potential, they asked why she would go around the dungeon alone, or subtly encouraged her to join the guild right away.
Jo Ki-man sneaked up on me and scanned my body here and there. And when Yeon-hee headed to the refrigerator for Kang-su, who politely asked for water, she started fiddling with the bones here and there.
‘Oh! Where the bastard touches!’
I’ve never really felt anything like this in my life, but this bastard was acting like a human born to piss me off.
“Sueup- That’s strange… The abilities are the same. Maybe it’s a singularity…”
‘Did you use the search? An ability that can only be used once a week on a skeleton soldier?’
I really wanted it to be decent, but it turned out rather well.
Jogi’s unique skill [Search] Is the ability to grasp the growth potential of strength, agility, stamina, and magical power when in contact with a person or a monster, as well as the ability to know the current stats of those four.
‘Of course it must be similar. The Skeleton Soldier needs to grow a bit to be there.’
Anyway, after the search, his expression became much more comfortable, so he seemed to have decided that he didn’t have to worry too much. After that, they talked for another ten minutes or so, and they quickly left the room.
“Then let’s fight Yeonhee. I’ll call you right after graduation, so if your phone number changes, I’ll call you, okay?”
“Yes, yes- uh, sister, go in…”
“What are you shy about? Yeon-hee is so cute-“
Seeing the two of them talking before I knew it, old memories came to my mind.
‘Even before, Yeon-su took care of Yeon-hee a lot.
“See you later, Ms. Yeonhee. Then.”
“Yes, go in, CEO…”
Even the snake eyes disappeared, and Yeon-hee carefully closed the door.
Click-
As soon as the door closed, I slithered to the ground.
“Puhaa~ I almost choked to death.”
Ugh, my legs are loose-
“Sunwol, can you come and help me up? hehehe.”
Yeon-hee stretched out her arms to the sky and urged her, saying, ‘Oh, hurry up!
‘Lee Yeon-hee is spoiled by her summons… I really can’t get used to it…’
Dadak- Dok- Dadak
I moved at her command, took her by the arm, and slowly raised her up.
‘What kind of sweat…’
It must have been quite difficult being with them. Her body was soaked with cold sweat, and she took deep breaths and evened out her breath.
“From March, I also started working in the white knight guild… Is this really something that can happen, Sunwol?”
‘Considering your ability, it’s not something to be thrilled with.’
I don’t know how he presented the conditions, but he must have shown a vision worthy of Yeon-hee’s temptation. And the White Knights Guild is one of the top 3 guilds in Korea no matter what anyone says.
‘Isn’t that the privilege of a returner? I don’t know what Yeon-hee thinks, but I know what she wants.’
It was said that entering the white knight guild was a set procedure. The fortunate thing is that even when I scrape together the memories of my previous life, there were not many cases where only Lee Yeon-hee and Jo Ki entered the dungeon together. I know that even those few times were all a few months after I joined as a guide.
‘In the end, the reports of the guild members who will be going around the dungeon with Yeon-hee from March should not have anything different from Jo Ki-man’s memories…’
For example, if something like a skeleton soldier spitting out acid was reported, it might become a soldier of interest again.
‘I have to be careful…’
However, no matter how careful you are, you will only delay the timing, and if you see that you will eventually be caught, the only way to do it is to increase your strength as soon as possible.
“If my mother had heard of it, she would have been very happy…”
‘Are you crying? Oops… I’m a woman who cries, it’s rat poison.’
It was like that in my lifetime, and it still is, but it was really hard to see a woman cry. Seeing Yeon-hee whimper as her eyes got moist, she pondered for a moment before raising her arm.
Yeon-hee, who stopped sobbing for a moment when I suddenly lifted her arms, let me shake her arms around as if she were doing a skin job.
“Puhuhhh- Sunwol-ah, why are you suddenly like that? Kyahahahahaha!”
‘This much for the person who saved my life…’
The last look in her eyes as she saved me in the dungeon break and eventually lost her life to the orc corps commander was still in my eyes.
I hoped that Yeon-hee would be happy in this life.
Me too if possible.
I waved my arms, hoping so earnestly.
“Pukkeukkeuk- hee-hee- Ah, I really love January and the moon!”
The effect was amazing.
After laughing for a while, she suddenly closed her mouth and put her finger on her lips saying she shouldn’t be loud.
“I don’t know what the next door might say… Shh, shh.”
Well… Wouldn’t it be nice to send a sign like that to me who can’t even speak?
“mmm- Ah, thanks to you, I laughed a lot. hehehe-“
······.
“Can the child summoned this time see the two of them dancing together when the Skeleton Soldier comes out?”
‘Hmm? Summons?’
“Hey- look, it’s a gray summon scroll I got while leveling up. How is it? I summoned Ilwol with this too!”
On the palm she held out, was a thick scroll made of gray parchment, an item she had never seen before.
‘Was it a structure where you get a summons when you level up? It wasn’t just by chanting a spell.’
Among her memories of information, she had never heard the word summons.
‘You kept it a secret from others. Why?’
Whatever the reason, it was encouraging to have information that was not disclosed to others.
“Hey- if you take a little bit of brown candle wax or something here, it’ll have strange letters written all over it, right?”
Parala Rock-
The rolled up scroll was unfolded, and as she said, it was written in an unknown language.
‘What are all these letters…’
“There’s no need to panic, Sunwol. If you read a few of these golden lines, you can summon them.”
‘I can’t see those shiny letters…?’
Just in case, I put my hand on the scroll, and the summoning scroll information was briefly displayed.
Ancient Gray Summon Scroll
– A book of summoning created by the first summoner to summon summoned beasts from the other world.
– Occasionally, he summons a lesser summoned beast.
‘Isn’t Yeonhee the first summoner…?’
It was a simple explanation, but there was something eye-catching, like a thorn stuck in the neck.
‘Lesser Summoned…’
Skeleton Soldiers will undoubtedly be classified as the lowest level summoned beasts. If so, it means that summons of a higher grade than me may come out. Although it seems like a low probability.
‘How long has it been since I’ve been pushed back? I can’t do this…’
She started reading her scroll, smiling broadly, whether or not she knew what I was thinking.
······?···
A familiar sound that I have heard once.
The spell that lifted me up from pitch-black darkness is being memorized again.
‘Isn’t the next one called out to be of human origin like me or something like that?’
I looked at her with anticipation of her being her.
By the time the spell reached its end, I was feeling the tension several times more than when I was fighting in a dungeon.
Woo woo woo woo-
Finally, a gray portal the size of my height opened, and she said puzzled.
“Huh? It’s not the door this time, is it?”
Looking at Yeonhee’s reaction, it seemed that the summoning was proceeding in a different way from mine. Now she also looked in the direction I was looking, staring at the shimmering portal.
After a while, a silhouette swayed from the gray portal, and the silhouette was the shape of a beast walking on four legs.
‘Look at the long claws. For some reason, it seems to be stronger than me…’
Soon, a huge shadow filled the one-room room and disappeared with the portal, leaving behind a small figure.
It is.
King!!
“·······?”
‘·······?’
It was a short puppy with fluffy fur as white as snow.
‘Ha- It’s ruined…’
The dog is the main character of the dog eating grass. The so-called land dog was chosen as the second summoned beast. It didn’t happen that my writing would fall, but rather a more serious situation happened.
‘A completely useless guy has come out.’
Unlike me, who felt a bit despondent, Yeon-hee walked away with her hands trembling and suddenly hugged the little puppy.
“Ahhhhh so cute! Yiying…”
– Wow! King! Panting-
