I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines

20 – Episode 20. Undetermined (2)

My embarrassment may not be apparent through the text.

So how embarrassed was I?

“Raise the Shatta! I know everything that’s inside!”

“Ugh… Business is closed…”

He would suddenly run to a brothel in the middle of the night and bang on the door.

The locked door opens to reveal a clerk with his hat pulled down over his face.

She rubs her eyes and looks back and forth between me and the boy next to me, or rather her girl, then tsks and clicks her tongue.

“There is no refund. You got it for free.”

“There was no mention of a girl!”

“I never said it was a boy.”

“······.”

I am speechless.

Come to think of it, I was never told or asked about my gender.

As soon as I saw it, I mistakenly thought it was a boy.

“Then, are there any other blood demons other than this one? It’s a boy.”

“He is the only blood demon. There are many male child slaves who are not blood demons. Would you like to take a look? A flawless child starts at 100 gold.”

“······.”

My bones hurt.

Anyway, even if we bring in a new slave, there is no change in the fact that we have to deal with this guy.

I’ve been sick of seeing monster corpses, but I’m still not that familiar with cleaning up human corpses.

If you are sacrificed in a dungeon, you may feel sorry for a moment, but killing someone with your own hands is another matter.

“What do you want to do? Are you going to dispose of it? There is no refund, but if you pay the cost of disposing of the body, I will take it back.”

“No, that’s enough. Let’s just take it.”

You have to spend money to throw away the slaves you have acquired.

I don’t want to do such a stupid thing.

If you think about it, there is no reason to react so strongly.

Anyway, it’s just a tool to be used to activate Guardian Knight, so what does gender have to do with it?

·····

“You wanted a boy. I didn’t know that was your preference. I should have paid more attention. I’m sorry about this. What should I do?”

“It’s not like that.”

“hehehehe. I’m sure you will. Anyway, thank you for taking our troublesome person away.”

“Troublesome?”

“Yes. It’s the first slave I caught since I got a job here. I even pulled out the fangs myself. Since it was the first slave I brought in, I forced myself to sell it, but no one bought it as time went by. The boss said tomorrow “I said if I couldn’t sell it, I would kill it and throw it away. Now that it’s selling like this, I feel at ease.”

I thought it was an ordinary story.

However, faint nasolabial folds seem to be visible around the clerk’s mouth where the makeup has come off.

He looks quite old. Is this blood demon the slave he brought in when he first got a job?

“Wait a minute. Then when was this blood demon brought into the store?”

“Hmm. It’s been a little over 10 years.”

“······.”

I turn my head and look at the pale-faced blood demon again.

A face that looks quite young.

He appears to be about 12 years old.

It’s been 10 years since he stopped growing, so his actual age is well over 20 years old.

They say he may be older than me.

“Is there a problem?”

“Nothing…”

“Then please stop by next time. Haaam.”

My bones hurt even more.

I grab the blood demon’s wrist and turn around.

Every time I glance at him, a deep sigh escapes me.

‘It’s a thing. ‘Let’s not worry about it.’

Woman + child.

This is a combination that no normal person can’t help but feel sympathy for.

I thought my emotions had become quite dull after repeating the regression 12 times, but it seems that I am not at the level of becoming a monster yet.

Should we rather be relieved?

“How old are you exactly?”

“······Forever. 13 Years old.”

You mean you’re 23 years old?

You’re older than me.

It has already become quite difficult to deal with.

Still, I decided to take comfort in the fact that I was 12 years older than my mental age.

“Okay.”

When I woke up, the sun had not yet risen.

My eyelids are heavy and fatigue still remains.

Because waking up early is ingrained in you, you wake up automatically even if you go to bed late.

Last night, I returned to the inn, washed away the blood and went to sleep.

I was embarrassed to see my naked body, so I closed my eyes and washed myself like I was washing laundry.

I laid out a blanket on the floor and showed him to sleep, and he sat down on the blanket and looked up at me.

Even after turning off the light, he just looked at me with his red eyes shining in the darkness.

It looks like the blood demon doesn’t sleep.

In the end, I left it alone and went to my room to sleep.

“I’d feel more at ease if I ran away from home overnight. Huh?”

Rattle.

The moment you open the door by turning the door handle and pulling it.

I take a step back, startled by a cold object suddenly falling on me.

“······Ugh.”

“Why are you like this?”

He was a blood demon.

It looks like he was leaning against the door all night.

But his condition is somehow unusual.

When it falls to the ground, it wiggles helplessly and makes strange noises.

Instead of the emotionless expression he had been wearing all day yesterday, a desperate expression appeared on his face.

He stretches out his trembling hand as if he is asking me for something.

“Ah. I have to give you food.”

It became difficult.

You fell asleep without giving me food yesterday.

Isn’t it okay to throw any food you want?

Hyeogwi’s digestive system stops and he cannot digest food.

Instead, what they use as an energy source is blood.

You have to drink blood to survive.

Blood selling is legal here, so fresh blood is not expensive and not difficult to obtain.

The problem is that I am worried that this guy will be dead by the time I go out to buy blood.

Is it correct to say that it is not death, but functional suspension?

“I can’t help it. Open your mouth.”

“······Ugh.”

I have no choice but to bring a dagger.

The boy must have realized that I was trying to feed him, and with all his strength, he raised his head and opened his mouth.

Zech.

When a small wound is made on the palm, dark red blood flows down the finger and into the guy’s mouth.

The guy closes his eyes and quietly catches the drop of blood and eats it.

From this angle, the inside of the mouth is clearly visible.

The place where the fangs were is empty.

I thought my teeth would be a mess since it had been 10 years, but I was a little surprised to see that they were clean and neat.

“······Gulp.”

“Have you finished drinking?”

“······Umm.”

“Hey.”

I thought he drank it all because he closed his mouth and swallowed it.

The moment I was caught off guard, he grabbed my hand and put his finger in his mouth.

It seems like it was tantalizing to drink it one drop at a time.

He grabs my arm with his cold hand and sucks my finger as if fussing.

I can’t even push it away because I feel like blood will spill if I move.

In the end, fuel supply had to continue in that state for a long time.

“Are you okay now?”

“······Power. Full.”

I ask while wrapping my hand with a bandage.

Then the guy suddenly stands up and answers with an emotionless expression.

He doesn’t shiver anymore, and he looks really fine.

“I need to buy some blood packs.”

I didn’t shed a lot of blood, but it’s still a hassle to cut myself every day.

It became necessary to buy a lot of blood packs and stock them up with cold magic.

We’ve finished supplying fuel, so we’ll have to leave right away.

“Do you remember what I said yesterday? I’m heading straight to the dungeon. Get ready to go out. Ah, don’t you have anything to prepare?”

“······Yes.”

“I need to buy some clothes. If I walk around dressed in rags, I’ll get a lot of attention.”

“······Yes.”

“But you write.”

As I was gathering my equipment, I stopped moving and looked at him.

He is still standing behind me, his red eyes shining.

It’s also awkward to keep calling someone “You” Or “Guy.”

I think it would be easier to give it a name.

“Do you have a name?”

“······I forgot.”

“I guess so. I’ll have to build a new one. What should I call it? Let’s leave it undecided for now and decide after wearing all the clothes.”

“······Undecided.”

“Okay. It’s undecided.”

“······Undecided.”

Why do you repeat the same thing?

After thinking about it carefully, I quickly look back.

I’m sure you didn’t understand the name as ‘TBC’.

“No, I’m not saying the name is undecided. It just means I haven’t decided on it yet.”

“······Undecided. Good.”

“That’s not your name.”

“······No?”

“Ha. Okay. Just do Tjung-i. It’s tacky and nice.”

I eventually gave up.

I don’t want to think too long about giving a name to a tool that will only be used briefly in the first place.

If it’s a loose name like this, you won’t feel any affection for it.

Your name will be undecided from now on.

“Hey, let’s go now.”

“······Yes.”

Well, when it’s just the two of us, I think we’ll call each other “Hey”, “You”, And “Dude” More often.

“······Eugene.”

“Why?”

“······Eugene.”

“So why are you calling me?”

“······Just.”

I told him his name and he said that sh*t from before.

I decided to ignore the voices echoing through the cave walls and focus.

Tie the rope to the stalagmite.

Now just tie one more thing and you’re done.

“······Eugene.”

“If you called me without a reason again, it’s true.”

“······Continue. Are you standing?”

“Okay. Just stand there.”

“······Water.”

“Do you want water?”

“······Get away.”

When I turn around, I see Mijeong standing in the middle of a huge cavity.

Suddenly. Pop. Pop.

Water droplets falling from the stalactites on the ceiling repeatedly hit Mijeong’s head.

I was told to stand still, but it seemed like he was completely soaked in water without even moving a single step.

“If it bothers you, just avoid it.”

“······Are you okay?”

“It’s okay. Just one stroke.”

As Mijeong sneaks out of the way, a door that looks suspicious to anyone is revealed.

That is the entrance to the dungeon we will be challenging today.

It was a dungeon a few times.

It must have been number 6 or so.

It is called the Black Star Dungeon, and it boasts the most vicious difficulty among the dungeons in the early region.

Actually, the gimmick inside that dungeon itself is not that difficult.

The problem is that to get to the dungeon entrance, you have to wander through a maze-like cave.

And the point is that you have to face life and death from the entrance.

“Is it over now?”

I leave Mijeong standing still and walk around to check once again whether the preparations are perfect.

There are dozens of holes in the cave walls that could barely fit a single person to crawl through.

And the ropes installed tightly in front of it.

No problem.

I give Mijeong a thumbs up and then go to a safe place and hide.

“Hey. Open the door.”

“······Yes.”

When I give the command, Mijeong nods her head and reaches for the door.

Now, when that door opens, mid-boss level monsters, Fenrir, will come out in droves.

This is the main culprit that helps newbies, who think they have gradually become skilled at conquering dungeons, escape from this sh*t game.

Because the conditions for Fenrir’s appearance are met only by touching the door, users must begin the battle in the middle of the cave, surrounded by monsters.

It’s such an insane level of difficulty that you can’t even touch it unless you’ve grown to the point where you can almost challenge the final boss.

The standard play is to form a party and watch each other’s backs.

The picture of users collaborating with each other aiming for the same heroine in an unreleased game is somewhat funny, but that’s it anyway.

Of course, I don’t have any friends to join a party with, but it doesn’t matter.

“······Opened.”

Dudeddude······.

The door moves slowly, making an eerie sound.

And at the same time, bloody wolf howls erupt from all directions.

“Crumbling!”

“Big!”

Dozens of huge wolves burst out from their dens at once.

The rope blocking the entrance is helplessly untied and only loosens.

Sharp claws and teeth come at Mijeong, who stands still as instructed.

But at that moment.

“Kkegaeng!”

Faba Park.

The arrows fired from the pre-installed crossbow accurately penetrate the heads of the monsters.

The firing trigger is a rope tied in front of the entrance.

It’s like they pulled the trigger themselves and put an arrow in my head.

I am well aware of Fenrir’s charging speed, having watched it for 12 episodes, so if you get the angle right, you will be successful.

“······Ugh.”

Mijeong screams with an emotionless expression that doesn’t even feel like a sincerity.

The bodies of Fenrir fall over and stop right in front of Mi-jeong.

In no time, the wolf carcasses piled up around Mijeong, so much so that only Mijeong’s face was visible.

“Are you okay?”

“······Problem. None.”

They are burdensome to catch on your own and take up a lot of time.

There are a lot of dungeons to run through today, but I can’t drain my stamina from the start.

If there is a way to solve the problem without putting in effort, take advantage of it.

That’s how I conquer dungeons.

“Then let’s go right in. Time is running out.”

“······Yes.”

I step over the wolf’s carcass and kick open the door that Mijeong had slightly pushed.

There is no time.

Let’s go quickly.
