172 Daddy's too strong. Episode 171.

"I'd like it here."

Kiriel and Hakase, wearing a straw hat and a towel around the back of their neck.

They had homies, shovels, and pickaxes in their hands. Also, the bluntly protruding bunny bag was full of seeds of vegetables and fruits to grow on its own.

"Hey, lizard. If I help you, you're really giving me free food, right?"

"Yes. Our dragons never lie. I'll give you as much food as I like if you only work hard and work to my liking."

Hakase recently had to supply and demand ingredients as he increased the menu of carts.

However, it occurred to me that there was no difference from other cart bars to use ingredients such as vegetables sold on the market, so I planned to grow delicious vegetables growing in the center.

"But why are there so many Jobmonsters here?"

Kiriel frowned as if he was annoying.

This is the Forest of Goblin, a class F crack in Myeongil-dong, Gangdong-gu.

Hakase nodded as if he sympathized with Kiriel.

"I need to clean up."

"Right? Then I'll do some cleaning for you. It's a special service, so be happy."

"Thank you......."

Ji-ying.

Kiriel pulled out the gung-neel from his back and pulled the bow.

The earth began to fluctuate as the mana in the body was contained in the gungnil.

When Hakase was looking at the ground that was beginning to split, he caught Kiriel's gunggnil and hung the Debuff, and the mana in the gungnil disappeared.

"You stupid bastard! Are you trying to ruin someone's farm?"

"......no, why are you cursing all at once?"

"If you use it, the ground here will be blown away!"

"Oh. That's right.

After putting the gung-nyil back on his back.

Kiriel began to beat Goblin one by one.

How powerful was Goblin's body, unable to withstand the impact, exploded as it was. Hakase's eyebrows wriggled as he watched the scene.

The land to farm was being polluted by Goblin's by-products.

"Huu.......Hold it..."

While Kiriel was cleaning up the goblins.

Hakase began work to clear the fields.

"Hey. Lizard."

"Why."

"The humans keep staring at us."

"Leave it alone."

There is no time to care about human beings.

For Hakase, there were two kinds of humans.

The first is a grateful guest who visits the cart bar.

Second, others who don't use carts.

"... ...the lizard. I've been thinking."

"Uh."

"You said it takes about a month to grow when you plant vegetables, right?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Gcom. Maybe some of the humans who come here every day can frost vegetables."

Hakase smoothed his chin.

"......unexpectedly? I can't believe you can think of that."

Then what should I do?

Hakase was in agony.

I couldn't keep this place around the clock.

Because I have to welcome guests to the cart.

"A face full of worry. Don't worry."

"Huh? Any ideas?"

"There's something good for this body."

Kiriel took something out of his arms.

It was a black pouch a little smaller than the size of a palm.

Hakase put his face toward his pocket, and tilted his head.

"What's that?"

"This is what we call, a sealed pocket. You can put any monster in this pocket if it's kneaded. And the good thing is that if you put it in your pocket, you will recover your health and recover in a week."

"What did it do?"

Moment

Kiriel unpacked his pocket.

Headless nights poured out of the pocket.

Heheheheh!

Black horses roared with Hedley's Knight.

"You, you, you bastard! What are you doing?"

"Stay still. Headless Knights listen to this body."

"What?"

Kiriel spoke to the Headless Knights with a serious look on his face.

"Protect the field. If there's anyone stealing crops, catch them and tie them to a tree over there."

The Headless Knights nodded.

Towards Hakase, who stared blankly at the Hedelis Knights.

Kiriel raised his thumb.

***

The end of the weekend, Sunday.

a dusky evening

Seol Yoon-hee was cooking in the kitchen.

Dojun was sitting on the couch in the living room and reading the newspaper.

Beep beep.

His smartphone on the table rings with a vibration.

Dojun folded down his newspaper and picked up his smartphone to identify the callers. The caller was none other than Kang Chul-soo.

"Yes, sir."

I'm sorry to call you on the weekend. I got an urgent complaint. The manager's instructions for all of us to go to work now.

"......what's going on?"

I hear a sigh over the phone.

Do you know the crack number 2 in Myeongil-dong? Goblin Forest. Hunters who were hunting there filed a complaint......... Goblin disappeared and an unidentified monster appeared. I think it's a class up phenomenon.

"Grade up......... Do you know what kind of monsters they are?"

That's the problem. It's the first time I've seen a kind of monster, and I'm in a hurry to see it again. Fortunately, there seems to be no casualties.

"That's a relief."

Yeah, but it takes you an hour to get here, right?

"No."

Well?

"See you in a little while."

Ttuk.

Dojun pressed the end of the call button.

When the call was cut off, Seol Yoon-hee, who was preparing dinner, approached and asked carefully.

"Going to work..." Do you have to?"

"He says he's got a problem."

"What about dinner? Unless you have to go right away, you should have some..."

"It's okay. We can eat after work."

Dojun changed from casual to formal and went outside.

***

"Whoo."

puff cigarette smoke from the roof

The cigarette is now up to the filter section, and Kang Chul-soo sucked one more sip and put it in the ashtray as if he was disappointed.

Thick.

Take the elevator and press the 7th floor where the office is located.

Kang closed his eyes for a moment and sighed. These days, it feels like a lot of accidents happen. I wonder if this will lead to the fall of the Earth to monsters.

Thing.

The elevator door opens when it arrives on the 7th floor.

Kang took a step forward and opened his closed eyes.

"Surprised!"

"Oh, chief."

Dojun, who was passing through the corridor, stopped for a while.

Frustrated, Kang Chul-soo pressed the power button on his smartphone once to confirm his current time.

7:20 p.m. It didn't make sense to be at City Hall at this time, considering it was 7:02 when I called Dojun.

"You... ...you were in the office?"

"I was at home. I heard it was urgent, so I ran here."

Do-joon enters the office smiling and answering.

"Oh, yeah. I ran..."

Kang Chul-soo blurring the end of a horse.

It reminds me that the distance from Dojun's house to City Hall is 10km.

"......you say?"

Check the clock again.

***

Crack control number for each crack.

The problematic crack is Myeongil-dong 002, Gangdong-gu, Seoul.

The crack, called the Goblin Forest, was the first to be explored since Dojun returned to Earth. So Dojun was a little more attached to this crack than to other cracks.

An unidentified monster with an estimated rating.….'

Strangely, the class-up phenomenon of cracks is bound to have precursor symptoms and it is normal for a class to go up to one or two levels.

For example, if the class-up phenomenon of class F cracks occurs as it is now, there should be a monster below grade D, which is one or two levels higher than that of Cobalt or Lizadman.

In addition

'Strange. No one's seen the signs.'

If there are 100 goblins.

About 102 of them are mixed with cobalt.

There were bound to be so-called precursors, such as the increasing number of such symptoms.

It's the first time for Dojun to experience the disappearance of goblins at once and then being filled with new monsters.

"Dohjun, first find out what Hunter is available right now. I'll call him, too."

steel water instructions

However, Dojun answered 'yes' briefly.

I got up from my seat and left the office. Normally, I would have waited until Hunter came.

I didn't feel very good this time. I felt like I had to go and check right now.

"Captain, I'm going to the bathroom for a moment."

"Uh. Yeah."

Myeongil-dong, Gangdong-gu, in front of the Forest Crack in Goblin.

Dojun could see Class F and Class E hunters gathered at the crack entrance.

They talked with each other with gestures that seemed incomprehensible.

As Dojun tried to get into the crack, a hunter rushed in and blocked him.

"Brother! You can't go in now. You don't know what's going on inside."

"How's the situation?"

"Well, there's a bunch of headless skeletons out there....... Oh, it's awful. Besides, he was riding a black horse that was much taller than a human. If you get one hit, you'll be heading to hell."

Do-jun touched his chin and was lost in thought.

a headless skeleton soldier Such a monster was never known to Dojun.

Is it the emergence of a new monster? a matter to be seen with one's own eyes at anyhow

"Thank you for your advice."

"Oh, hey. Brother!"

Boom boom!

Dojun loaded himself into the crack.

***

When you get into a crack.

There was a slightly different view from the map that was obtained in the past while exploring cracks.

Skull monsters riding horses were wandering around, as the Hunters testified.

However, the important thing is that they continue to hover around a certain place.

'Field?'

Dojun passed by the Headless Night.

A variety of vegetables, as they seemed to be guarding, walked toward the growing field.

But vegetables had completely different forms and colors from those on Earth.

"......this."

Dojun was seen on the first floor of the center.

I could see grass that looked just like the herb [nalanium].

I ripped off a nalanium to check it out.

Then, the Hedelis Knights, who stayed still, looked at Dojun in unison.

Serious life!

"...... that's strange."

Not about spouting flesh.

It was because the energy felt by the Headless Knights was very heterogeneous.

Headless Knights in front of you can't even catch S-hunters.

It had a unique mana that could only be felt in the central monster.

'Is it erosion?'

After erosion, the Earth's people spread to the center and start tutorials.

It reminds me of what Tusitala said.

Sreung.

in the void of nothing

An intangible sword appeared.

Thick.

Dojun grabbed the sword.

at the same time as a swing at the rushing Hedley's Knights.

Deepest darkness settled the whole crack.

The Headless Knights were wiped out without a trace.

***

The next day, dinner.

After finishing his meal, Dojun visited Hakase's cart bar.

I thought we should buy some bungeo-ppang for our children's snacks.

By the way, there was not only Hakase but also Kiriel in the cart bar.

The two laughed and chatted about what was so pleasant.

Do-joon smiled at the two, who were anxious to eat up and get along with each other.

"Welcome!"

"You look happy."

"Yes, there's a good thing."

"Really?"

Hakase said.

"I recently started farming. Starting with the nalanium, Ummeter, Eilac...…."

"Nalanum?"

"Yes. Most of them are used as herbs, but they are also used as food ingredients. The unique bitterness makes you want to eat more."

"... ...Um."

"And you son of a......... No, Kiriel summoned a monster named Headless Knight and placed him as a guard so that humans wouldn't steal it."

Kieriel was next to me.

Stealing his nose, he giggled.

".........."

Dojun was sitting in front of Hakase.

With his chin up, he tapped his finger on the cart bar table.

Hakase asked when Dojun looked like he was thinking something.

"What's the matter?"

Dojun's finger stopped while hitting the table.

"......you guys?"
