Became a childhood friend of the middle boss (24)
“Cooperation?”
“Yes, cooperation.”
Short hair swaying as if grazing over the shoulders.
His facial features suggest that he is of mixed race, and his eyes are as blue as the lake that spreads around him.
Do-si-eun, who had not lost her elegant beauty even though she must have fought a fierce battle, asked curiously.
Well, it was natural for people to be puzzled because I intervened in the middle of the battle and suddenly suggested cooperation.
‘by the way… Is it because he’s fourteen? There is a youthful side to you.’
In the case of Do-eun Do-eun, who appears in the game, she showed charisma by responding calmly to any situation without showing any emotional agitation.
Perhaps because she is older than Kang Han-byeol, she is portrayed as cool-headed and mature.
However, Do-si-eun, who tilted her head at my words, felt somewhat distant from that atmosphere.
It felt quite refreshing.
anyway.
“It’s okay to talk here, but should we go somewhere else and talk?”
“… Okay, let’s do it.”
I immediately shrugged my shoulders and pointed to the edge of the lake with my chin.
It was above the water where the leader and his subordinates were active.
They said they had defeated the guys nearby, but their numbers had been replenished as they had been reduced, and they were creeping up on us while we were talking.
I was in no condition to talk.
So we decided to continue talking after leaving the place.
[You have encountered a monster.]
[Manual(Rank. 01) x 6]
Monsters that are slightly shorter than me.
The subordinates who looked like children blocked the road.
“Move.”
“I’ll take care of those guys over there.”
But when Do-si-eun and I joined forces, we were no match for him.
We just shook them off, got out of the lake, and climbed onto the grass.
Then their pursuit stopped.
“They won’t come out of the water, so we can talk comfortably now.”
“Tell me. “Cooperation?”
“Literally.”
“… .”
“If my sister and I just join forces, wouldn’t we be able to take down the leader? You know because your sister fought too. “It’s difficult to deal with the leader alone.”
“… .”
“So, let’s take it down together.”
I sat down on the grass.
Then he invited her to sit next to him.
But she did not respond to the invitation and just stared down at me.
Soon she opened her mouth.
“It’s hard for me to deal with it alone. But even if I cooperate with you, nothing will change.”
“Because of the people around the leader? “Are you going to stop them from approaching the leader?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Dosi-eun nodded.
There was no way I didn’t know what she was worried about.
This was a problem I also had in mind.
‘The two of us aren’t enough.’
Anyway, just the two of us.
“You don’t have to worry because I said it all with my thoughts in mind.”
“what?”
I looked behind her.
Then she felt my eyes on me and turned around.
In the midst of dealing with his subordinates, our relatives were coming to where we were.
People like me who had been just watching the situation showed up one by one.
Either way, they looked tired.
“I’m not saying we should cooperate among ourselves. “Let’s all cooperate together.”
“then… .”
“I will leave the role of dealing with the leader’s subordinates to those people.”
“… .”
“We only have to deal with the leader.”
I shook the dirt off my butt and stood up.
Now it’s time to convince them.
I talked to them as they came up to the grass.
“Brothers and sisters.”
“Ah, Gyeonwoo. I saw you fighting with Si-eun earlier… .”
“Why don’t you cooperate with us?”
“what?”
Relatives with puzzled expressions.

Eventually, when they heard my suggestion, they wrinkled their faces as if they were displeased.
“Why us? “What are you?”
“… .”
Yeah, I knew it would come out like this.
* * *
At that time, on the cliff.
People who participated in the evaluation were gradually reaching the lake.
By that time, most of the screen where the family members were watching had changed to the lake where the leader was.
“Everyone is struggling.”
Someone groaned.
Several people watching the screen nodded in agreement.
“Even if the leader has been weakened, isn’t it too early for the children to deal with him?”
“The kids have little experience fighting on the surface, and more than anything, it would be difficult to approach the leader with so many monsters around.”
The same goes for Dosi-eun.
She reached the lake first and searched for various ways to somehow approach the leader.
However, no great results were achieved, and it was only a temporary mixing of leaders and weapons.
But what about others?
They were unable to approach the leader, and all they could do was deal with subordinate monsters and occasionally provide help to Dosi-eun.
It was natural for the family members to say that the level of difficulty was high.
Furthermore.
“It looks like the kids are very tired. “It must have taken quite a bit of stamina to go through the jungle and get to the lake.”
“Since Si-eun is also paralyzed, the condition of the other children must be dire.”
“If you try to deal with the leader in that state, the situation is bound to turn out like that… .”
All participants were exhausted from the first forced march at the gate.
The faces of the children on the screen showed fatigue that could not be hidden, and the sounds of them breathing heavily could be heard.
[Gasp, gasp… !]
[Mr., stop coming out, just… .]
[…] Phew!]
In the end, some participants slipped on the scaffolding or lost concentration and fell into the water while walking on the surface.
[…] .]
Morale was falling.
Those who reached the lake did not participate in the battle at any point and just watched the situation from afar.
Let’s go through that situation.
“Matriarch.”
“… .”
People who were watching the evaluation match throughout had no choice but to give a mantra to Do Yeik.
“The kids don’t seem to be in a good condition, so why not lower the level of difficulty?”
Do Ye-ik’s eldest son, Do-jun.
Among the direct descendants of the current head of the family, Do Ye-ik, he is considered the most likely to be the next head of the family, and has stepped forward as the representative.
“It’s not that children are weak. However, I would like to say that it would be better to improve the situation by considering the physical condition of the children.”
“That’s right, matriarch.”
“I think so too.”
In order not to offend, Do-jun spoke in a polite tone.
Then other people also joined in.
“hmm… .”
Do Yeik sighed briefly.
He, like everyone else, couldn’t help but have similar thoughts.
‘Was it too much for those kids…? .’
Grandchildren under the age of seventeen.
Considering their age, it could be said that they had already shown sufficient skill.
So I wasn’t disappointed.
It was just a shame that I couldn’t bear it.
‘It was said that Seo Jeong-jin took on a disciple.’
A hunter who did not come from a famous family, but rose to the top solely through his own strength and dominated an era.
Tugui, Seo Jeong-jin.
The world thinks that Seo Jeong-jin, who is crazy about fighting, cannot reach the level of the current heads of the ten families such as Do Ye-ik, but he did not think so.
In all likelihood, you will be ahead of him when it comes to handling a sword.
However, it was different in ‘battle’.
I couldn’t make any guesses.
‘That guy is a monster.’
Because he did not have the talent to be called a genius in any field, he was able to train himself regardless of the field, ironically and ironically.
Therefore, he was not limited to weapons and used all kinds of weapons, and not only that, he showed ability to cross all types of combat and production.
Even if no field reached the pinnacle, a being who reached a certain level in all fields could be said to be a fighting spirit.
This was the reason why Do Yeik could not easily guarantee his superiority in a battle in which he had to fight with all he had achieved, rather than a single victory.
so that.
‘If there is a disciple that that monster has, it must be a monster that can surpass him.’
While Do Ye-ik was quite curious about Seo Jeong-jin’s disciple, he could not help but be wary.
What if the student’s talent and Seo Jeong-jin’s effort and persistence could be exquisitely combined?
“… .”
A hero who will truly lead an era will be born.
A hero who will surpass the power of the ten families.
I had no idea whether a new system of order would then be established in this country.
It was a situation that the famous houses that had already solidified their position did not want.
Of course, more than worrying about that… .
‘I never want to see my grandchildren lose to that bastard’s student.’
In fact, that thought went even further.
Do Ye-ik had a strong competitive spirit, similar to Seo Jeong-jin.
In that sense.
His grandchildren and Seo Jeong-jin’s students could be said to be an extension of the competitive spirit between him and Seo Jeong-jin.
As a result, Do Yeik was driven by a competitive spirit and planned this evaluation match.
“Matriarch, please reconsider.”
“… “It would be better that way.”
But I felt like I was overly ambitious.
Do Yeik scolded himself as he watched his grandchildren struggling.
In the end, he ordered the hunters to change the policy by lowering the difficulty of the evaluation match.
It was then.
“for a moment.”
Do Yeik reversed his decision.
His eyes were focused on the screen showing the outskirts of the lake.
“… .”
Before we knew it, all the participants had gathered at the lake.
At the center was Do Gyeon-woo.
[Stick to me.]
Do Gyeon-woo’s confident voice.
Do Gyeon-woo was showing a face that clearly contrasted with the participants who had faces filled with defeat.
That face filled most of the screen shot from the participants’ perspective.
“her… .”
Do Yeik sighed after seeing several identical screens.
Soon the sigh gave way to laughter.
The corners of his mouth drew an arc.
“It looks like the kids are planning to do something, so let’s judge by that.”
It’s because I’m so confident.
Do Ye-ik decided to check on Do Gyeon-woo, who had a confident face.
* * *
“If it’s Si-eun, well, I can admit it. Because I have the skills to receive it and fight. But Do Gyeon-woo, you haven’t shown us anything. Why should we help? “What do you believe in?”
“I agree with everyone working together. I think I should do the same. “But cooperating with you to approach the leader is a bit much.”
“How can someone so young be so picky? “Did you think we would see each other again just because you beat Do Seung-woo?”
“I did watch it again. But you can’t try to match us with that.”
“Is this completely ignored?”
“… .”
Relatives who are the same age or younger than me just watch quietly.
My relative, who was older than me, openly expressed his anger.
‘Tell each person one by one, frantically… .’
I clicked my tongue inwardly.
They were understandably dissatisfied when I, who had been ridiculed and called Rabbit in my family, proposed cooperation.
It was somewhat expected.
Therefore, I was able to calmly accept the situation without losing my composure.
Of course, a solution was also prepared.
‘I would like to tell you not to fight with words, but to settle the matter with the sword, but I can’t.’
I immediately checked the status window of my relatives, and they were exhausted to begin with.
If I wanted to, it wasn’t difficult to challenge them to a sparring match and beat them.
However, I couldn’t waste my time and energy by sparring with them one by one to make them understand.
00:52:34
There was not much time left.
So I decided to convince them of something other than sparring.
“Then who will fight if I don’t fight the leader?”
“You don’t have to worry about that, we can decide… .”
“Can you fight? “With that body?”
“what?”
“Is there any strength left to fight after receiving it? “Is the paralysis gone now?”
“… .”
My relatives, who had been angry just a moment ago, couldn’t say anything and fell silent.
Those who arrived late, too, are well aware that they are overwhelmed.
“Look, there isn’t one.”
“… .”
“That’s why I ask you to cooperate with me.”
Soon I laid down the cards that could persuade them on the floor.
It was Parkit Ape’s pocket.
I poured out the entire contents for them to see.
clattering.
“… .”
The fruit of vitality, the fruit of energy, and the root of the mud spirit plant emerged.
I said to my relatives who were staring at them.
“I don’t ask for help for free. If you cooperate with me, I will hand these over to you. “Honestly, won’t everyone be disappointed?”
“… .”
“If only I had stamina, if I had mana, and if I didn’t get paralyzed, I could do better than I am now.”
“… .”
“You wouldn’t think so. is not it?”
I didn’t miss the rolling eyes of my relatives.
I got caught.
My words hit the nail on the head.
I decided to keep talking.
“So, let’s eat this to regain our strength and show the adults who are watching us that we’re not embarrassed. There’s not much time left, so you’re just going to end it by showing your ugly side like this?” Poof!
“… uh?”
I immediately threw the fruit of vitality at the person nearby.
The person reflexively grabbed it and then looked embarrassed.
“Eat, if you want to fight.”
“… .”
I urged a decision.
Then, after showing hesitation, he quickly put the fruit of vitality in his mouth.
Crunchy.
The sound of biting into a fruit was heard.
The sound spread in silence and shook people’s hearts.
I kept throwing fruit at them to make them more impatient.
People received fruit.
“Stick with me.”
“… .”
“Please cooperate.”
That was the end.
Crunchy.
Relatives who had been criticizing me just a moment ago began to turn to my side.
Soon, I handed the root to Do-si-eun, who was quietly observing the situation.
“You eat too, sister. “It won’t be hard to fight because the paralysis won’t go away.”
“… thank you.”
It seemed like Do-eun was now ready to cooperate with me.
She chewed the root.
Then, as if it tasted bitter, I frowned slightly.
She swallowed quickly.
‘With this, the paralysis is gone.’
I confirmed that the paralysis was gone and closed Dosi-eun’s status window.
Meanwhile, my relatives who had reached the lake also decided to go with the flow and cooperate with me.
“Is this the fruit of energy?”
“I want to break the paralysis… .”
“thanks. “I will eat well.”
“Do Gyeon-woo, you… .”
“Are you alive?”
Among them was Do Seung-woo.
I almost didn’t recognize his face because he was covered in mud all over his body.
“so? “Will you cooperate too?”
“… shit.”
His condition was not very good.
In the end, he had no choice but to cooperate.
It’s good to have a lot of words to use.
I willingly gave up my roots.
“Now, pay attention. “Now let me explain the operation.”
“… .”
Maybe it’s because I got paid for it.
They obeyed me obediently.
I explained step by step the strategy to attack the leader.
“And Si-eun’s older sister.”
“huh.”
“My older sister keeps the leader’s left side in check. “I will keep the right side in check instead.”
“Okay, I will do that.”
“It’s on the left. “Don’t forget.”
I asked Do-eun separately.
Then she seemed to agree, then expressed doubt.
“But does it have to be on the left?”
Dosi-eun asks, blinking her blue eyes.
I responded as if it was obvious.
“That’s because my sister is stronger than me.”
“huh?”
“Relatively speaking, the left side will require more effort than the right side. So, I’m asking you to use your strength instead.”
“Oh, yes… I see.”
“You can do it, right? “I’ll take care of you.”
“… .”
The leader’s left arm was cut off.
As a result, the defense for my left arm was inevitably inadequate.
That’s why I keep the right side in check, and she keeps the left side in check.
It was an extremely reasonable decision.
Anyway, so.
[You have encountered a monster.]
[Receipt (Rank. 03, Boss) x 1]
[Manual(Rank. 01) x 17]
The battle to conquer the leader has begun.
