I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines

[Stats]

[Strength: 11(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Stamina: 12(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Magic power: 13(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Agility: 18(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Luck: 14(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

My body leaps forward as strength goes into my swollen calves.

The guardian knight’s body, which is equipped with magic control, is as light as a feather.

But it is not enough to catch Mijeong, who is already falling into the thorn pit.

“Stretch out your hand!”

There is nothing we can do.

I have no choice but to jump.

Immediately kick off the cliff and accelerate downward.

Then he catches up with Mijeong, grabs her hand, pulls her up and wraps her arms around her waist.

“Ugh!”

Kagagak.

When I pulled out the dagger with my left hand and threw it against the wall, I was barely able to slow down and stop.

But it was a little late.

Even though I bent my legs to avoid being pricked by the thorns as much as possible, I ended up being stabbed shallowly in my shin.

“Phew. I almost died.”

When I looked down, it was very scary.

If it had been a little later, my shin would have turned into not just a small hole, but a huge honeycomb.

Of course, even if you are stabbed once, it is dangerous due to paralyzing poison and bacterial infection, but this is a fantasy world.

If you spray a little low-level recovery medicine that is sold anywhere for a small amount of money, you will get better quickly.

“Are you hurt?”

“······Yes.”

I look at Mi-jeong, who is barely supporting herself with her arms wrapped around my neck.

It doesn’t look like it was touched by a thorn.

There are no visible wounds on the body.

You need to take special care because your body does not heal well when injured.

If I take a child with scars all over his body, my image will get weird.

I don’t want to be reported for child abuse and end up in a detention center.

“You look okay. Now let’s go up. Put me on your back.”

“······Eugene?”

Mijung nods obediently and tries to move behind me, but stops.

My eyes are focused on my shin, which is bleeding profusely.

Then he calls me in a slightly embarrassed voice.

The voice that has always been dry and husky seems to contain a little moisture.

“I told you to get on my back quickly. My arm hurts.”

“······Eujin, Eugene!”

“Oh. I’m sorry. Why do you keep calling me?”

“······Legs. Legs!”

“I know you’re hurt. So let’s go up quickly.”

Mijeong’s voice begins to tremble, and soon she buries her face in the crook of my neck and begins to sob.

No matter how much I say it’s nothing, it’s useless.

They just call my name endlessly.

I’m embarrassed.

It seems like you are worried about me.

I think she’s a b*tch who usually doesn’t have the slightest interest in me.

“······Eujin. If you die, no.”

“I won’t die.”

“······I don’t like dying. I don’t like it anymore. Not as much as Eugene…”

“Tsk.”

Mijeong buries her face in my arms and trembles as if sobbing.

This is my first time seeing it.

She looks as if she is so overcome with emotion that she cannot control it.

‘This is going to be difficult.’

I decided to think of it as an emotionless monster.

I think it will become a little more difficult in the future.

It will likely take some time for Mijeong to calm down, so I adjust my grip to a more comfortable position.

Then she turns her head and discovers something unexpected.

“Oh.”

Deep inside the thorn pit.

There is a suspicious-looking door embedded in the cliff.

A dungeon within a dungeon.

I succeeded in discovering a double dungeon that I had only heard about through rumors.

I never would have thought that it was a structure that could only be found out by falling into a trap.

You can only find it in games where you can be resurrected even if you die, but I actually could never find it.

I can’t help but laugh.

“Are you okay?”

“······Yes.”

“I’m telling you this isn’t a fatal wound. Why are you making such a fuss?”

“······What. What do you mean?”

Mijeong turns her head and pretends not to know.

It is his usual, emotionless voice and face.

Being pretentious.

“Quickly go back and get on my back. I need to go inside there and have a look.”

“······Yes.”

But thanks to Mijung, I discovered the hidden dungeon.

If the object starts to look like a human being, you should throw it away quickly…

In recognition of his contribution, I decided to take him with me a little longer.

“What is this room doing?”

The hidden dungeon we entered with Mijeong.

I’m starting to wonder if it’s actually a dungeon.

It was just a large room with no other doors or passages.

First, I spray low-level recovery medicine on the wound and then look around the room while wrapping the bandage.

This. It hurts quite a bit, but not so much that it interferes with walking.

I think it will be okay if you keep walking.

“What are you doing?”

“······.”

I felt eyes staring at me and said,

Mijeong, who was kneeling next to me and carefully examining her affected area, finally turns her head.

Normally, if she wasn’t specifically spoken to, she would just stand still.

She became strange.

Is it broken?

It is very unreasonable that even though it is a defective product, you cannot provide after-sales service or receive a refund.

“Is double dungeon the same concept as bonus compensation?”

A room with no other passages and just a treasure chest in the middle.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like the final reward room, but you have to be careful.

Because this is my first time here.

“······.”

I put my hand on the treasure chest without letting my guard down.

The ceiling may suddenly drop, a spear tip may rise from below, or a monster may pop out from inside the box.

You must not let your guard down.

Concentrate your entire body’s magic to maintain optimal condition and open the treasure chest.

“Phew.”

What appeared inside were three gourds.

It seems that the bonus room concept is correct.

There is no need to wander around wondering if this is poison or elixir.

If you use ‘Search’, you can immediately identify it.

[Selected stat buff potion (Number of possessions: 0)]

[Permanently increases desired stat by 10.]

It’s a jackpot.

There are as many as three guys who only give one at the beginning and don’t even show their nose until the end of the game.

Stats can only be raised slightly through difficult training and rare hidden items.

You’re lucky.

“Now, let’s think happily about what to post… Huh?!”

Suddenly, my legs lose all strength and my body collapses.

Before I knew it, I had fallen to the ground and was kissing the floor.

What on earth is going on?

‘Magic exhaustion!’

Crazy.

I have already gained magical power.

I’ve never thought about lack of magical power.

‘Ah. Tei’s magic stone…’

Thanks to the highest quality magic stones, magic control has become easier to use.

Thanks to that, it looks like a lot of magical power has been used up.

In the future, it seems like we will need a little more mana.

“Gulp, gulp! Gulp, gulp! Gulp, gulp! Gulp!”

“······Are you okay?”

With shaking hands due to exhaustion, I pour the entire potion into my mouth.

[The magic stat increases by 10.]

[The magic stat increases by 10.]

[The magic stat increases by 10.]

Good.

This is how it ended up going with the concept of a magic swordsman.

He’s a magic swordsman, but why can’t he only use magic that a petty thief would use?

I will learn it properly later.

Anyway, it will be like that.

“Oh. Already?’

When I returned from the dungeon and returned to the hotel, there was a note on the counter.

Now that the magic stone has been processed, please come find it.

I don’t think it’s been 10 hours yet, but it’s really fast.

I want to go find it right away, but my body is a mess right now.

I want to change my dirty clothes, take a shower, and change my bandages.

Mijung doesn’t show it, but looking at his strides, he seems quite tired.

I guess I should feed Mijeong too.

So, the first thing to do is take a breather in your room.

“Thank you for taking care of the note.”

“Draw.”

Gives a dry greeting to the innkeeper and leaves.

“······My back hurts.”

“What’s wrong with my back?”

“······Eujin. It was so rough.”

Is it because of the shock from holding the thing that fell earlier?

Mijeong walks holding her waist and frowning.

But the gaze that the innkeeper shoots at my back is extremely stinging.

Your eyes look like you’re looking at some kind of bug.

Puzzled, I climb the stairs and open the door.

“Do you want to wash first?”

“······Wash me.”

“Wash by yourself, dude. But is the water okay when you wash?”

“······Stagnant water. It’s okay. Flowing water. I’m scared.”

They say so.

I thought you were afraid of water again.

I put Mijeong into the bathroom first and took off her sweaty top.

“Status window.”

[Stats]

[Strength: 11(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Stamina: 12(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Magic power: 43(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Agility: 18(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Luck: 14(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

The magic stat is a whopping 43.

Multiply by 5 with the Guardian Knight buff is 215.

Just looking at it is so sweet that it makes my teeth rot and crumble.

Of course, it is abnormally high compared to other stats, but in fact, it is not that high.

Jil’s magic stat reaches 200 by default.

Yerina’s strength and stamina stats easily exceed 200.

If her intelligence were also displayed as a stat, I think Yulia would be around 300.

Furthermore, I remember that the stats of the Four Heavenly Kings, the final boss’s closest associates, are all over 500.

It is true that I am strong right now, but I am not saying that I am at an overwhelming level.

‘The magic power has tripled, but if you use it with care, it quickly disappears.’

Furthermore, if you use mana control at maximum output, the mana will literally leak out like water.

It is true that the magic power has increased a lot, but it is not yet at a level where you can use it comfortably, so you need to be careful.

From now on, I will have to worry about the magic power needed to obtain stat potions.

“Oh.”

I close the status window and pick up today’s newspaper.

Then a familiar face appears on the front page.

A person who is stained with hatred and affection, and now I don’t even know what kind of feelings I have.

Saint, Jill Diner.

The news is that her opponents tried to assassinate her, but the attempt ended in an attempt, and her vagina was found unharmed.

As soon as I saw it, a sigh of relief escaped me.

If Jill had died, the world would have been in a lot of disarray as the Vatican would have gone crazy.

Good.

“What is this?”

But the moment I turned the page.

I had to believe my eyes.

On page 2, a photo was posted.

-The ruined Hameln Cathedral. An explosion of unknown origin broke all the pillars and the ceiling collapsed. All assassins died on the spot.

It was a photo of a cathedral where the ceiling had fallen and met the floor.

This looks like the cathedral that I destroyed in the first round.

“What on earth…”

The pupils have no place to go and shake back and forth.

An ominous possibility comes to mind.

There is a possibility that Jill may have regained her memories from the first episode…
