Magic Bullet Shooter (385)
“Cow! Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The kid pointed below, then at himself, and finally at Blaugrun.
〈Leeha is the owner. Next is me. We are soulmates! You are last!〉
That was, so to speak, ‘ordering the ranks.’
[Kwikkyuk, kyukkyuk!]
Blaugrun did not stay still.
He took turns pointing out Lee Ha and himself several times, and then he stretched out his little arm towards the kid! and stretched out.
〈Leeha and I are partners! You’re just a pet!”
And Lee Ha was looking at that with a bewildered expression.
“It’s been a while since I summoned someone without an opponent to fight, so this is the result...”
Both the kid and Blaugrunn boom, chirp, boom! I don’t know if I should laugh or cry when I see him shaking his head while doing this.
‘Should I say I’m glad the two of you didn’t hit and fight?’
Convincing himself about what would happen if he spewed out a fireball or if Blaugrun unleashed his lightning-type breath, Iha again cut off the meat of another harpy’s leg.
What is the best way to break up a fight?
“Eight! If we fight, neither of us will get meat? No matter what, we are all one family, so let’s get along!”
[Kyuu, kyuuu....] “Kyuuong!”
“Alright kid, there are 3 minutes left until you are de-summoned, so eat first! Don’t worry, I’ll leave Mr. Blaugrun’s share as well.”
“Cow.” [Kyukki!]
“This is why I don’t know when I’ll eat my share.”
Lee Ha shook his head and worked hard to take care of his ‘family’.

“Have you heard from the hero’s descendants yet?”
“There was... but the participation rate is not high yet. Above all, there are many people who live with their ears closed, so it is not easy to spread the news, so if things continue like this, how many more people will gather...” “It would be easier to
deal with the pieces of the devil if they are there, but if they are not there, there is nothing we can do. Even at this very moment, Les is probably wandering around the New World in search of Gibrid and Pyroth-Kokri...”
The Pope let out a deep breath.
That frustration was also shared by Fernand.
In my heart, I wanted to officially launch and set sail for the New World Expedition today, but the reality was that the walls were high.
‘There isn’t enough time to gather the descendants of the heroes of the Second Human and Demon War. They have already reached a certain level and are blocking all whispers and focusing only on leveling up... but they can’t afford to take a few weeks or even months. It would be better to take those who have Plus Alpha skills or items beyond their simple level, but if that is not possible – the answer is to make up the strongest people.’
Descendants of heroes are not found in all occupations. And it’s a user.
Some people may have just been lucky enough to become descendants of heroes, while others may have already quit Middle Earth.
Even if they remain, unless they spend almost all of their time in Middle Earth as shown below, there is a possibility that they will turn out to be uncooperative if you force them to participate in the New World expedition.
Fernand also knew that, so the grace period could not continue.
Therefore, the next best option was to elect elite members!
This is the very agenda proposed by Fernand, approved by the Pope, and delivered in an official letter to each country.
“Then, is the status of support for selecting expedition members okay?”
“Yes, Your Holiness. A large number of top-level foreigners from each country are participating. An agreement on the division of work for each country’s expedition to the New World has almost been reached, so we will be able to launch it soon.”
“What did you say would happen?”
“Kraben provides ships and navigation, Phubiel provides navigation and material support, Minis provides materials and resources for the construction of a pioneer base, and Shazrasian provides support for the construction of a pioneer base and relay mana tower.”
This was the result of Fernand meeting with the kings of each country.
Since he himself had the title of ‘Pioneer King’ and the name of the Pope was added, an agreement was able to be reached quickly.
Nevertheless, Fernand, who was in charge of the negotiations directly, was not very satisfied.
‘There is a great cause to kill the devil’s pieces, but in the end, it is clear what each country wants. Things that have been coming to me since the early days of Middle Earth -‘
〈New Territory and More Resources〉
” ! All human men—”
“Eight, don’t bother.”
Tukwaaaaang――――――!
Iha sighed as he leisurely killed a newly created harpy.
As I was looting miscellaneous items from the corpse and opening the bag, an item caught my eye.
‘Tsk, I’ll have to solve this first.’
―Gijeong!
-Uh, tongue, bro! were you still doing it?
-of course. Hehe, but what did you do to come so late? Since it took more than a day to play Middle Earth, that means more than 5 hours have passed in real life...?
As soon as Lee Ha broke up with Ki-jeong, Nara, and Bo-bae, he logged onto Middle Earth.
We parted ways in the afternoon, logged on immediately, and have been handling City Gaza’s business and hunting ever since.
‘But Ki-jeong didn’t log in to Middle Earth until after 11pm, and now he’s done it...?’
Lee Ha deserved a sinister smile.
―Hmm, what are you doing? What are you doing? I didn’t do anything.
―Bobae is not online yet... You clearly went with Bobae. You must have done something.
―W-What kind of interrogative tone are you talking about? I didn’t do anything. Just-
-just?
-I had a drink...
-Suul~? So are you drinking Middle Earth now?
―I had a glass of beer, a glass of beer. We didn’t meet up for drinks, we just wanted to talk some more.
―Hehe, what did you say?
―What are you talking about? We just talked about various things...
―Sigh~ Sik. What did you say? Say it quickly. Did you hold hands?
The corners of Iha’s mouth naturally rose as he whispered. Is there anything more enjoyable than listening to other people’s stories about relationships or romance?
―Hey, brother! It’s not like I’m a kid, just hold my hand.
-Oh oh? oh?! then? Then what did you do? no way? next? hug? kiss?
-What kind of hug is a hug? It was just, well, it was like that. just.
-what?! What did you do!
The more Kijeong equivocated, the more his curiosity grew.
‘What, you guy! He boasted that he was an expert in dating, but it couldn’t have been something – really.’
Meanwhile, various thoughts were passing through Iha’s head.
It felt like words like ‘I’m jealous’ and ‘Me too...’ were floating around like speech bubbles, growing rapidly as well as wondering what I had done.
-That’s just- Ah, what should I say. After having a drink, I just-
-just?
-so so.
-Hey-! What kind of tank is so good at hit and run? Even if you were an assassin, you would have done well.
[Pfft!?]
“Oh, I’m sorry. I suddenly got angry.”
When Iha suddenly stepped on the ground, Blaugrun tilted his head.
Ki-jeong was lifting and lowering his voice with just a whisper.
-Tsk tsk, I’ll tell you later. Ah, the guild members were asking about recruiting expedition members to the New World.
-Oh right. Are you going to apply?
-then! I have to participate at least to raise the name of the guild. Brother, how do you deal with this?
The following had already been hinted to byeolcho executives, including Kijeong. However, it was at the level of a warning that something like this would happen.
According to the accurate information currently received through Ju and Fernand, there was not much of an advantage to Ki-jeong.
