Chapter 69

What is this crazy bastard talking about...

I frowned at Eden. Huh? Do what? A kiss? Was that something you said to another guy? Even if it's just a joke, isn't that a bit too much? I looked at Eden with a dumbfounded expression and asked.

"Are you crazy?"

"No?"

Eden put on a shameless face while widening his eyes. Then, he tapped my cheek twice with his finger.

"Hurry up."

"Fuck it."

Even though I swore, Eden didn't budge at all. If anything, my swearing only made him feel better. I got goosebumps. I pushed his white cheeks that were getting closer with my hands and shouted.

"Hey, why are you being so disgusting, seriously!"

"What do you mean disgusting? I'm hurt.”

Eden, who was pretending to cry, looked at me coyly.

"You've gone further with Kang Yoo-hyun."

"What, what?"

"You kissed him... Eup."

"Shut up!"

I covered Eden’s mouth as he proudly revealed my dark past in the middle of the Freya Guild members. Then, I cautiously whispered in a low voice, as if growling.

"Hey, that happened a long time ago. Why bring it up now?"

"Eueueup..."

"And that was because of a skill!"

In the dire situation of facing an SS-rank boss monster in the Alfheim Dungeon, I had no choice but to apply my auxiliary skill on Kang Yoo-hyun. However, I didn't think we could defeat the Draugr King with just normal skinship, so I initiated intense skinship with Kang Yoo-hyun first.

That incident had become a dark history for me. I had sworn to myself that from now on, no matter what happens, I would never do anything more than a handshake.

But seriously? A kiss? Just because I kissed Kang Yoo-hyun, I also have to kiss him? What kind of messed up thinking is this?

"You didn't even hold hands with me..."

"..."

I was speechless when I saw Eden express his disappointment.

This guy is really saying something that gives me chills. Frowning, I looked at him, and Eden came closer, grinning mischievously.

"Okay? So, please kiss me."

"Ugh, seriously."Visjt novelbin(.)com for new updates

"Give me a kiss!"

"Ah, get away from me!"

I shouted while pushing the whining Eden away, and Yong-sik, who was fidgeting at my feet, whimpered and cried out.

"Kyaaa!"

I quickly picked up Yong-sik and threatened Eden.

"If you keep doing that, I'll ask him to bite you."

"Hing, that's mean."

"..."

Why does this bastard always act so disgusting? In the original story, he was a bit mischievous, but it wasn't to this extent. I started to wonder if I did something wrong.

"Alright, I get it. I'm kidding, just kidding."

Eden said that, waved his hand while looking at me. Why is he making such an unpleasant joke? Sighing inwardly, I opened my mouth.

"What do you really want?"

"Yggdrasil's essence?"

"Aah!"

"Ahh!"

I screamed, startled by the voice next to me, and the person who talked to me also screamed in surprise. I looked at him and caught my breath.

"Hu—hunter Hae Song-ha."

"Woo, I'm sorry. W—were you surprised?"

"..."

I think he was much more surprised than I was...

Hae Song-ha had a pale face as he looked at me. His summon, Lati, puffed up her fur and grunting.

"No, I'm sorry I overreacted, haha..."

"No, I'm more..."

"..."

After apologising to each other wholeheartedly, we finally spoke again.

"Oh, by the way, do you know about the Yggdrasil’s Essence?"

"I just heard you mutter about it..."

"Ah, I see."

I nodded and glanced at Hae Song-ha. Lati, hanging on his shoulder, flared her nostrils at me and Yong-sik. Seeing that, I asked Hae Song-ha.

"I was wondering, does Yggdrasil's Essence have any effect on a summoned beast?"

"The Yggdrasil's essence?"

"Yes."

"Hmm...” Hae Song-ha groaned as he thought about it.

The Yggdrasil’s Essence. It was mentioned in the novel, but it's never explained exactly what it does. It might have been revealed towards the ending, but up to the middle part that I read, there was no information as to why boss monsters dropped it. But perhaps it wasn't revealed in the novel because it affected the summoned beast, and the protagonist, Kang Yoo-hyun, wasn't very interested in his summoned beast.

“Kkyau?”

“...”

I saw Yong-sik tilted his head and gently stroked him with my finger. Still, I'm better than that insensitive bastard, right? However, the current Yong-sik wouldn't recognize me in the original work, so it's useless to ask him.

“I'm not entirely sure. I don't know what effect Yggdrasil's Essence has on a summon beast.”

“Ah... I see.”

“But I think I can understand why Yong-sik stays in that form.”

“...!”

My eyes widened as I looked at Hae Song-ha's cheerful face. Did he, as a veteran summoner, know anything about it? I looked at him expectantly and asked.

"What is that?"

Hae Song-ha raised a finger and said—

"Maybe he wants to be spoiled by Hunter Han Yi-jin?"

"...Yes?"

"If he was in his adult form, Hunter Han Yi-jin probably wouldn't adore him."

"..."

I laughed and looked at Hae Song-ha with a dumbfounded expression. No way, is that the reason he's been in his baby dragon form ever since he hatched?

"Kkyaau!"

“...”

I had a feeling that might be the case.



T/N: Didn't expect Yong-sik could be that smart ????????
