Chapter 771

Matan’s Shooter 771

“Phew... Understood. So, what should I do? I have something to say, can I wait here for a bit?”

“Oh no, uh, well, I was thinking of coming to find you and talking to you later. How does that sound?”

Karelin’s twisted expression began to regain its calm once again. One of the truly frightening reasons about him was this.

It wasn’t just his frightening appearance, but the fact that his usual innocent personality and his ‘twisted personality when angry’ were completely different.

‘Karelin, like Nara, works for the Shazrarsian palace, well, not the government, but relatively well-analyzed for those who work for the community.’

It was even said that one might see King Kong if he got angry. As he didn’t want to cause any trouble here, he tried to pacify him as gently as possible.

“Understood. Then I will wait for you to find me at the Remlin Palace.”

“Re-Remlin Palace...! I’ll inform you immediately.”

Upon hearing the reply below, Karelin’s innocent face returned, and he smiled.

“Alright, please take care. I’ll be waiting for you in a bit.”

Then, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared with a return scroll.

Watching him vanish from his spot, he let out a sigh.

“Phew... It’s a different kind of pressure compared to Igor. Giants seem to be somewhat different.”

『Myongmyong!』

“Hm?”

“Well, Jin Gonggong’s not like that. I’ll get scolded for saying this. Should we go now? Let’s go, Jellypong, this way!”

『Myong!』

Shwaaaaah-!

Jellypong clung to Leeha’s body once again. However, it was no longer in the form of a ‘vest’.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

“It’s all squishy and damp now! It feels like a neck brace hugging my neck,”

Leeha thought as Jellypong clung around his neck, more like a neck protector than a vest.

As Jellypong changed its form, resembling more of a winter scarf, Leeha reached for his hat that had flown off his head.

“Hmm, should I sew it back on or do I need to find a new one.”

Though it was a rare item that only dropped from the Harpy field boss, the area where it appeared was unpopular, and Leeha wasn’t even sure how many times he would have to farm to get it.

Feeling a bit disappointed, Leeha stashed the hat in his bag and hopped on the back of Koma.

“Let’s go, little buddy! Towards that building, one o’clock!”

“Kyuuuung!”

Kugukuguk, kugukuguk, kugukuguk-!

Feeling like riding on a large eye patch made of fur, Leeha aimed at the third point he had sniped, the abandoned building, and moved towards it.

The place still emitted a white light.

“Alright then... Koma, you can go back now. You did well.”

“Kyuung!”

Leeha patted Koma’s fur and sent it off with a pat on the back. Koma disappeared with a satisfied expression. After adjusting his clothes and taking a deep breath, Leeha finally opened the door of the abandoned building.

Creek!

With the sound of the rusty latch, Leeha walked into the building. Though slightly nervous, his steps were that of someone eligible to clear the quest, filled with confidence.

“Hello there!”

“This is... unsettling.”

At that moment, a holographic window appeared before him.

『I took action. I had no choice but to-2.』

“I feel like the blood flowing within you reminds me of myself. I only want to speak because of who you are. All I desire is one thing. I want to help our still oppressed brothers and sisters to break free from discrimination... that’s all I ask. Since I cannot leave this place, would you please meet with the supreme authority of Krabavi on my behalf and deliver this message? If he promises and fulfills it, I will disappear from here immediately.”

Past mistakes continue to haunt the present. As the combined federation of the former Krabavi and Paldrin nations, deeply rooted in the Shazrashian region, grapples with eradicating racial discrimination and ensuring it, the way forward becomes apparent.

Content: Human rights charter for all minority factions under Shazrashian affiliation.

Reward: “I acted. I had no choice but to-3.”

Condition for Failure: Rejected by the Shazrashian Federation government.

Penalty for Failure: “Revived White Reaper”

– Do you accept?

“What- What’s this? A letter?”

Leeha had to read the quest window several times.

“Rights... No, that’s not it. Oh, back in high school – although it was a long time ago(?), I could vaguely remember. 『Document on Rights Described in Legal Grammar』! Oh, that’s what it was. Yeah, then the meaning is-”

It seemed that this quest’s main content would be to draft a document ensuring rights for all minority races, including Paldrinians, without discrimination.

And the method for that?

Considering the nature of Middle Earth where hints and answers are always found within the problems, there was only one obvious solution. It was to meet the highest authority, the current president, get their promise, have it approved in the federal government, and then proclaimed by the president. Leeha quickly grasped the gist of the quest.

However, understanding didn’t solve everything. The problem lingered on. Usually, if a quest fails, it’s over. The quest disappears, or in extreme cases, the course of the quest itself changes.

“Yeah, even the quest right before this was like that. Just doing one task before this quest... 『Revived White Reaper』 was canceled, and there was a penalty for failing to return the quest route to its original state! But now – what’s this?”

The failure condition is when the Shazrashian Federation rejects this matter. That was a very real possibility, so I had to negotiate diligently with the federal government to prevent such an outcome.

But what if I fail? The quest doesn’t just disappear?

“Instead of disappearing, it’s...”

It’s another quest. A quest where you follow the route of success if you succeed and the route of failure if you fail?

At least, it was a form that Leeha had never seen before while in Middle Earth.

Whether I succeed or fail, I must face this quest and destiny together.

“Um, well... I’m not sure if I can do this so easily-”

『You lack confidence.』

“I lack confidence. I can’t have confidence in everything, you know.”

Leeha’s expression darkened sharply after hearing that response. However, he was smiling.

“Well, of course, even if I lack confidence, I can’t just not do the work, right? Upholding the rights of minority races in the Shazrashian Federation, including Paldrinians...”

Leeha still didn’t have a clear idea of how to negotiate or what negotiations to make. However, he knew from the start that this was related to 『discrimination』.

‘Phew! Simply showing off skills won’t end the second job advancement. Initially, what was needed for the second job advancement was skill and keyword. Only those who can solve both problems will become a Middle Earth ascender. So, there’s no escaping it, might as well do it.’

“I’ll give it a try.”

Leeha pressed the accept button. Even stronger light poured out from Leeha’s body.
