After taking a break, Dojin logged into LOST and called Anemone first.
“anemone.”
Anemone, who had been sleeping inside the dojin, woke up as soon as she heard her new name.
【huh!】
Just by extending your right hand and making the will to summon, a silver wolf was summoned with a flash of light.
Anemone, who approached Dojin as soon as she was summoned, asked with slightly worried eyes.
【Are you okay? It’s hard for me to be outside.】
A question asked when he felt Dojin’s mana flowing into him as a contractor and summoner.
“Don’t worry. The mana it takes to summon you isn’t that much. You’ll feel it, won’t you?”
Due to the “Mana Delay” trait obtained from the Tower of Challenge, Dojin’s abilities related to mana, including total amount, speed, efficiency, strength, and stability, have increased significantly.
Summoning a spirit the size of an anemone might be burdensome to other magicians, but it wasn’t that much of a burden to Dojin.
Still, Anemone wrinkles her nose as if she doesn’t like being burdened even a little.
To reassure Dojin Anemone, he stroked her mane.
Her tail wagging in a steady rhythm lets her know that she’s in a good mood.
anemone
Level: 83

Stamina: 395
Spirit Power: 395
Skill: (0) [Open]
Characteristics: (2) [Open]
His hand was stroking Anemone’s nape, but his eyes were checking the status window before his eyes.
This was my first time seeing the status window of Dojindo Anemone.
After finishing the hidden quest, I was too tired to do anything.
Anemone’s status window was very simple.
A perfectly balanced spirit where the spirit power value is applied to each ability value at a 1:1 ratio.
When he was first born, he had no skills in controlling his own powers, but he had innate characteristics.
“Strong Attack”
“Increased resistance”
Just like the simple stats, the trait names are also incredibly simple.
“Strong Attack” is a trait that literally increases attack power by 1.5 times, and “Increased Resistance” is a trait that increases water defense, magic defense, attribute and status abnormality resistance in proportion to the spirit power value.
In short, Anemone is a spirit that does not know how to use special abilities, but is specialized in physical strength and tanking.
Dojin, who confirmed this, was very satisfied.
‘This is much more helpful to me.’
Dojin is a wizard.
Even though he was strong and agile as a wizard, his greatest weaknesses were ultimately his physical strength and defense.
For such a Dojin, Anemone, with her physical attack and tanking abilities, could be said to be the best sidekick.
【jin?】
Anemone tilts her head and calls out to Dojin, who is looking at the empty space strangely.
Dojin, who had removed the status window, spoke to Anemone.
“Anemone, do you want to go out and play?”
【Are you going out to play?】
Anemone reacted violently, either excited or surprised.
Dojin nodded and thought.
‘If you have a rough idea of the numbers and letters, the next step is to check it through practice.’
On this day, Dojin and Anemone, who were both excited, toured five hunting grounds.
As a result of going around those hunting grounds, throwing myself into various situations and fighting battles.
‘It’s a scam.’
Dojin was sure that he had obtained another cheat key.
* * *
Dojin took his time to embody his newfound power.
Last time, I had no choice but to adapt since my original abilities had been upgraded, but this time, things were different.
Since Dojin didn’t have the power to wield it alone, he needed to spend enough time getting used to each other as he had to work in sync with Anemone.
While going around various hunting grounds and getting in sync, Dojin and Anemone had many conversations about this and that.
Dojin got to know Anemone better, and Anemone got to know Dojin better.
Such time passed.
A week passed, ten days passed, and the fifteenth day arrived.
“uh?”
In reality, Dojin froze in the same position as he was drinking water.
“Dojin said your new video will be finished in about a week. He said to expect great results. But the state of the content team… Is it really true that the entire team works overtime and even works from home?”
“Drink this instead of water.” Dojin was taken aback by Cheon Ji-hyeon’s nonchalant remark while handing over a green juice that looked really tasteless and he didn’t know where she got it.
“What video are you talking about?”
“That. The video you filmed while doing the hidden quest this time. It’s so long that I haven’t watched it yet, but the team leader seems to really like it.”
It goes without saying that the video is long.
Playtime is almost the length of the video, but Dojin rolled around there all week.

No, that’s not the point, I never sent a video?
Dojin asked with a mixture of embarrassment as he accepted the green juice that Cheon Jihyun offered him.
“Why was that made? I never sent a video.”
Then, Cheon Ji-hyeon said with a look in her eyes, “What are you talking about?”
“I asked you last time. Can I handle this video like last time? And you told me to, so I did it like last time?”
“Is that so… me?”
“I told you something in the middle. Didn’t you just answer without listening?”
“… … .”
Even after finishing the hidden quest, Dojin lived a busy life.
The time spent outside the capsule was not long, and after completing essential tasks such as eating and sleeping, they returned to the capsule.
At that time, Cheon Ji-hyun said something, but every time, I would just reply with a vague “Do what you want, sister” and jump into the virtual reality.
Dojin, whose mind was filled with such memories like a panorama, kept his mouth shut.
Cheon Ji-hyeon looked at Do-jin with narrowed eyes.
“You didn’t even listen to what I said, did you?”
“… I heard. I just forgot for a moment.”
Dojin is drinking green juice and making excuses.
The green juice tasted more bitter today.
Feeling the bitter taste, Dojin looked into the distance.
‘I was planning to hide Anemone for the time being, but what can I do if it turns out like this…?’
No, how about I ask you to just fix the last part? It doesn’t seem to be finished yet anyway, so I guess that’s possible.
Cheon Ji-hyeon questioned Do-jin again with her eyes still narrowed as he was thinking this.
“To be honest, I don’t remember much of what I said.”
“sorry…….”
Cheon Ji-hyeon let out a small sigh as if she had known this would happen.
Seeing her like that, Dojin erased his thoughts about editing the video.
Dojin saw traces of Cheon Jihyun taking care of him every time he logged out of the game.
During the day, Cheon Ji-hyeon herself would take care of him, and when she got off work, there would be a meal prepared for Do-jin to eat.
To Dojin, Cheon Ji-hyeon was like a family member who constantly gave him the feeling that he was not alone in reality.
‘Well, I guess I was a bit harsh.’
I think it must be very disappointing for Cheon Ji-hyeon to hear all the talk about games and just let it go.
Even though I was busy getting used to my newfound powers, it was still severe.
But Cheon Ji-hyeon didn’t really care about that part.
“For some reason, he seemed to be absent-minded, eating roughly and then rushing to the capsule. Listen carefully now. The company is planning a project related to this video.”
“Project?”
What’s so great about it? Why don’t you just edit the video like you did before and upload it to your channel?
Dojin was listening to what Cheon Jihyun was saying with that thought in mind.
“Coolook, coolook!”
The green juice I was drinking ended up flowing back out.
Fortunately, I managed to avoid spitting it out in front of me thanks to my desperate efforts to suppress my cough.
But that didn’t calm my surprised heart.
“… Sister, what did you just say?”
“The content team leader was gnashing his teeth that he would produce a video of drama quality this time, and decided to upload it in 12 episodes.”
This is also surprising. Why did they upload a 12-part video on YouTube? But that wasn’t the point that surprised Dojin.
“No, next time.”
“It is absolutely certain that goods will be produced during the video upload period, and it has been confirmed that the goods will be produced in collaboration with Lael Fashion. After that, depending on the response, we will proceed with additional business and decide on the scale of the project. I have already told you all about this.”
I told you to listen and do everything. I don’t think you remember.
Dojin was speechless.
I can’t believe I was just playing a game and didn’t know anything while things grew to this scale.
‘… When I focus on one thing, I still can’t see my surroundings.’
Many aspects have changed, but since humans themselves have not changed, there are some things that remain the same.
The side effect of not being able to take care of other things due to the extraordinary concentration is the same now as it was then.
Dojin said with a bitter smile.
“But isn’t that making a big deal out of it?”
“How popular are you? You might not realize it because you’re only playing games, but it’s different for the company that always checks and calculates statistics.”
When the topic of popularity came up, Dojin felt awkward and embarrassed for no reason.
Cheon Ji-hyeon said to him,
“You listened to my words with one ear and let them go, so just accept it. If you try to tackle me here, this is what I’ll do.”
Dojin put everything down as he watched Cheon Jihyun pretending to cut his own neck with the blade of her hand.
Let’s just go back to virtual reality.
Let’s go and have a picnic with the anemones.
Of course, the picnic spot is a hunting ground.
