Chapter 301
About 2 hours and 30 minutes passed.
We arrived safely on Jeju Island.
Going across tens of thousands of monsters, I was worried that something might happen.
Fortunately, that didn’t happen.
‘It’s a shame because the monster I rode was a Behemoth.’
If it wasn’t for Behemoth, the ruler of the sea, we wouldn’t have been able to pass through the abyss so easily.
If it wasn’t for Behemoth’s overwhelming charisma and intimidation, someone would have quarreled with him.
Starting from the injury of one of the two, new monsters that smelled blood began to invade, and a series of battles must have unfolded.
If so, maybe we… … .
‘Let’s not think.’
Just imagining it is terrifying.
“hey.”
Then Therun tugged at my sleeve.
“I’m sorry. Can I stay here for a few days?”
there’s something unsettling about it
“It doesn’t matter, but… … . Didn’t you say you were going back right away?”
Originally, I said I would go back right away and focus on research.
What was the sudden change of heart?
“I feel like I want to go back. that… … .”
Therun glanced in the direction of the sea. I feel the emotion of fear in the pupils that tremble finely.
‘It’s scary to cross the abyss again.’
While riding the Behemoth, we were exposed to the stale blood of tens of thousands of monsters.
Even if Terun couldn’t directly sense the presence or mana of the monsters around him, he couldn’t help but feel the energy and feel nothing.
To go back to the abyss in that state now is too cruel.
“All right. Then I’ll let you stay here.”
Terun’s expression instantly brightened at my answer.
It’s a very happy expression.
“Instead, the rented house is not spacious, so I can’t give you a separate room for the lab. The sleeping room will also be a bit cramped. Please understand.”
“of course. I’m not that ignorant of a person. It’s enough just to prepare my room. Research, well, you can just coordinate the trivial things that can be done in my room.”
Therun muttered this and that to himself and began to coordinate future schedules.
‘… … How long do you want to stay?’
From what I’ve heard, I think I’ll stay for a week even if I can’t.
Were you that scared?
I protected it with magic to some extent, and the Behemoth seemed to feel Terun’s trembling, and offset the sense of intimidation.
It wouldn’t have been that scary
‘Are you sensitive to the atmosphere of the monsters around you as much as you were born with a tamer’s bloodline?’
It doesn’t seem like he trained as a mage separately, but the Tamer’s bloodline must remain intact.
He is also controlling the Behemoth, and his talent as a tamer could be said to be first class.
That’s why I think it might be that he accepted the presence of the monsters in the abyss with a sharp attitude.
“Are you going to keep Behemoth waiting around here?”
“uh. I told you to play around on your own. I told you not to go to the southern part of Jeju Island, so you won’t get caught on radar.”
“You can perfectly carry out even such a comprehensive command.”
“Isn’t that great?”
When other tamers hear it, they say things that would make them fall by the back of their necks.
“Then you don’t have to worry about the Behemoth for now.”
“uh. don’t worry about that In fact, I was hiding on the southern sea side for three years, but no one knew, right?”
“… … Have you been hiding in the South Sea for three years?”
“They say if you want to hide a tree, hide it in the forest. There is no better place to hide than the waters of the abyss.”
Certainly, there’s no better place than the Abyssal Sea to hide a monster the size of a Behemoth.
“Then I really don’t have to worry.”
I said that and held out my hand to Terun.
Therun tilted his head slightly.
“You want me to catch it?”
“yes.”
“… … Even with my physique, am I older than you?”
Even so, it’s an expression that hurts a little bit of self-esteem.
I think you’re misunderstanding something.
“I am not treating you like a child.”
“We might get lost, so why don’t we go hand in hand?”
“Why are you lost? On this lonely country road.”
“It is, but… … .”
Therun looked up at me with eyes that seemed to say, ‘Then why are you asking me to hold your hand?’
“It’s a bit far to the destination. If we don’t use magic to get there, we might not arrive until sunset today.”
“Ah, so my hand… … .”
Therun nodded with a look that seemed to say, ‘Was it for such a simple reason?’
“Also, I didn’t think I heard from Charles that I was going to be a guide… … oh.”
He stopped talking and kept his mouth shut with a puzzled expression.

“You’ve been long.”
“… … .”
I didn’t know that.
Certainly, then, such a suspicion is warranted.
“It’s not long. I get a little confused about the direction, and there are times when I think about something else and can’t find the house. Gilchi is not really.”
It was an unconvincing excuse.
“yes. understand. I must have misunderstood.”
It’s a serious road that surpasses my expectations. I get it very well.
“It’s the expression that no one understands!”
“It can’t be. 100% understood.”
“no. No one could understand you just sit there sit down and listen to me Then you will know.”
Therun gesticulated frantically and began to make excuses.
“look. You get tired from doing research, don’t you know there are times like that?”
“Yes.”
“At that time, imagine going to a convenience store. Wouldn’t it be possible for anyone to get lost in the streets at that time? It’s not because I’m on the road, it’s because I’m tired… … .”
“Ah, yes. okay.”
Getting lost in a convenience store near your house. You have gone beyond what I could have imagined.
I get it very well.
In the future, I should avoid making plans that require me to go somewhere alone.
I’ll be lost for nothing
“No… … .”
“Okay, so let’s hold hands first. Let’s move on before it’s too late.”
“It’s not too late to move after clearing up this misunderstanding. So, listen to me first.”
Terun still has a disgruntled expression on his face. It seems that he has no intention of voluntarily holding my hand.
Then there is nothing you can do
“Excuse me.”
I immediately grabbed Terun’s hand and pulled it straight.
And he took me into his arms.
“Cow, they only hold hands!”
“Coming to think of it, I think this will be faster.”
Rather than holding hands and running with double magic.
It’s much more efficient to just hug like this, strengthening my body and running.
“Then I will go.”
“Hey, wait a minute. No matter how much this posture is, it’s too burdensome… … Kyaaaagh!”
Therun immediately kicked the ground before he could say anything more.
A rapidly changing landscape.
Therun screamed as if startled by the sudden speed.
“Yayayayaya! Too, too fast! And too high!”
“Did you have a fear of heights?”
“No, it’s not a fear of heights… … Wow! What, cobwebs? You didn’t bump into a spider, did you?”
“hmm. He’s afraid of bugs too.”
He has many weaknesses.
Oddly, it reminded me of Adela.
Adela seems to have invested all her abilities in magic alone.
And Terun, who seems to have invested all his abilities in research alone.
Are all geniuses the same?
With that thought in mind, I sped up a little more.
“Faster, higher, faster, higher!”
It’s a secret that Terun’s scream, which increases as much as the speed increases, is a bit interesting, so it’s a secret that I increased the speed more than necessary.
* * *
After that.
We arrived at the accommodation after about 40 minutes of sprinting.
Upon arriving at the inn, Terun collapsed as if fainting.
It seems that the fear of heights is really severe.
At most, it was raised only to the height of the 5th or 6th floor of an apartment building.
How can it spread like this with just that?
There were times when I raised the altitude more than necessary because the reaction was so good. It seems that the spirit has gone out of there.
no. But even that wasn’t even the height of the 10th floor of the building.
If it’s enough to faint… … How did you get on the plane?
It’s a mystery.
“Then get some rest. I’m going to look around for a while.”
I lay the fainting Terun on the side of the room.
I went straight out of the house.
Then, he summoned Miho using ‘Factio’.
As soon as Miho was summoned, he was placed in my arms.
“Did you have a good rest?”
As if Miho was in a good mood in the world, she cried, saying “Mii~”.
“Have you had a good rest?”
Seeing that the hair on the side of her head is slightly pressed down, it seems that she was sleeping without knowing the real world.
Like that, he buried his face in my chest and acted like a charm for about 3 minutes.
He immediately raised his head and began to look around.
“Does the scenery look good?”
A secluded atmosphere unique to the countryside and green trees filling the surroundings in moderation.
Miho was looking at the scenery of the countryside, which created an atmosphere that could not be felt in the city, with longing eyes.
It seems to be reminiscent of the days of the Bytenor Empire.
No, would it be more accurate to say that he was thinking of Master through the Bytenor Empire?
“I will see you again soon.”
After finding the Book of Danteroa, we will surely meet again.
“Then let’s go.”
Miho nodded with a determined look on her face, then moved out of my arms and took a seat in front of me.
Then he started to walk slowly as if to follow him.
I slowly followed Miho.
About 10 minutes passed like that. We arrived at the beginning of Hallasan Mountain.
“It’s also in Hallasan.”
I expected it, but Danteroa’s book seems to be sleeping somewhere in Halla Mountain.
“Umm~ After all, it’s really good to travel to Jeju Island, right? Isn’t that right, honey?”
Then a woman’s voice was heard from a distance.
I immediately hugged Miho and hid myself.
“haha. I hope it’s good.”
Two men and women who appeared soon after.
Looking at the clothes, looking at the expression, the traveler seemed clear.
‘As expected, it seems difficult to use the main hiking trail.’
Although there are abyssal waters, Mana and Jeju Island are still tourist islands that attract countless tourists.
Immediately after the abyss was created, not only tourists, but also Jeju Islanders fled to the inland.
After that, it was learned that the waters of the abyss did not have any effect on Jeju Island, and gradually regained its role as a tourist island.
Of course, many people are also camped on Mt. Halla, a popular tourist attraction in Jeju Island.
From my point of view, as I have to search for Mt. Halla with Miho, it can be said that it is a very troublesome situation.
‘It’s okay since I’m changing my face with Face Change, but Miho stands out too much.’
With my current skills, it’s impossible to change Miho’s appearance.
Do I have to walk around in stealth all the time?
No, if you do that, Miho’s free search will be impossible, and it will interfere with the search in many ways.
My sanity isn’t infinite, so it’s hard to stay hidden for more than 30 minutes.
Should I search for the dawn at all?
‘It’s also a problem that there are too many people… … .’
It was when I was so deeply troubled.
Miho licked my cheek.
When I lowered my gaze, Miho’s eyes met.
It was an eye trying to convey something to me.
“Is there a way?”
That’s enough to lie down and eat rice cakes.
Miho’s eyes said that.
