I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 73

Kidney bean portrait (4)

Watching something grow requires patience.

At least when planting kidney bean seeds at school. Do you think that if you plant a seed, it will sprout right away? no. 10 minutes, 20 minutes. day. Two days. one week. Only after a certain amount of time has passed can you see the sprouts.

I know this because I once planted kidney beans when I was young.

What do you think a 10-year-old will do after planting kidney beans? Of course, I check every morning to see if it has sprouted.

I am repeatedly disappointed when I look at the flower pots that show no signs of green. For a ten-year-old child, after enduring a long period of hardship, he can finally see the sprouts. The wait continues until buds grow, leaves emerge, and flowers bloom.

You will know by the time the kidney bean pods grow.

The fact that growing something is hard work. That it takes a lot of time.

Kidney beans alone require such a long time, so what about other things? fish? puppy?

What if it’s a person?

Sometimes I don’t know how he raised me. Even though I thought about it, I wasn’t an easy child to raise. It must have been very difficult for a man who couldn’t properly take care of a flower pot that he received as a gift.

I can’t believe I managed to survive under someone like that for twenty years without dying. Great job, me.

In any case, unlike plants, which only need to be exposed to sunlight and provided with water and ventilation, humans have a lot of things to worry about. Of course, the patience required is also greater.

So, I also have to be patient and raise it. Don’t be impatient, and don’t be quick to judge just because you’re stupid.

If you have enough affection, time, and effort, one day you will become a person who knows how to do your part.

Let’s hold on and endure.

“Because I am the leader.”

Strange.

What on earth happened that caused them to degenerate?

It was nice when I checked the strategy guide and gave each person a compliment sticker. To be honest, there were some people who shouldn’t have received it, but they gave it to them as a sign of support.

Can’t you at least pretend to care about my consideration? Don’t talk nonsense like this.

I slowly scanned the classroom. quiet.

therefore… These guys.

“That is the judgment of a captain. “What do other people think?”

Be careful not to let your voice stand out.

okay. These guys… It’s like an amoeba. Just by breathing well and writhing, you can see that you are doing your job.

I see Kang Tae-woo at the back of the classroom flinching.

… Was it evident in your voice? I didn’t mean to scare you.

“Do you all agree with Oh Hyun-wook’s judgment?”

I looked at the strategy guide the kids had written. There were some comments here and there that made me think this was a strategy, but nothing was that stupid. The guide without a designated attack group was fine, but as soon as they told me to try the strategy on my own, this is what happened.

Did I overestimate my kids?

Or is it just Oh Hyun-wook’s problem?

“Hyunwook is the strongest among us… “You’ll get out of it just fine.”

Even Han Eun-young, whom I trusted, says something stupid.

I guess I overestimated the kids.

I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.

“Oh Hyun-wook. stand up.”

This mentality needs to be corrected in advance. If symptoms become severe, it cannot be cured.

It would be better if it was just something stupid that came out. This can be resolved with a high probability if you fill your head.

But Oh Hyun-wook’s self-sacrificing remarks?

There is no answer to this.

At least, it wouldn’t have been possible if Oh Hyun-wook had said that he could sleep confidently and that he would kill all the goblins and return.

Even if it’s the same nonsense, the intention of the statement changes if you are confident. Usually, these cases are divided into two types.

one. There was nothing in my head, so I just let out whatever I could.

two. I have confidence that I can attack with such a strategy.

The second best example is at this school. A person who ignorantly pushes through a dungeon using the most unusual methods because his or her own power is so strong.

Hong Seok-young.

Just look at the Siren’s Nest. How absurd she was when she heard the detailed story from Kim Chae-min later.

As a way to deal with sirens, they simply sealed their hearing. I took Kim Chae-min with me with the idea that if there is no place to step, you can make one. Even the attack team was hastily assembled, having only worked with Hong Seok-young once or twice.

But what is the result?

Although there was a public deception behind it, the attack was successful without any serious casualties.

okay. If you’re going to talk nonsense, you just need to have the skills to back it up.

If you don’t have the skills, you should at least raise your voice. In a dungeon where anything can happen, sometimes the impossible happens. A hunter who followed as a porter gains enlightenment and conquers an S-class dungeon.

hmm.

It’s a lie.

However, it is not true that there are people who succeed in impossible operations and miraculously return. There were also people who crawled into the dungeon that everyone had dissuaded from entering, but ended up actually trying to conquer it.

A person’s words have a greater impact on him than anyone else. There are many cases where it really happens.

So, even if I don’t like it, I end up giving more work to hunters who have loud voices and are confident.

Rather than someone who says there’s nothing they can do if it doesn’t work out.

“Are you willing to sacrifice yourself to save others? “You thought so, right?”

Eventually, the emotion comes out in the voice.

It’s obvious what the piglet is thinking. I have to become a better person than the guy who sacrificed others to conquer the dungeon.

So let me sacrifice my body!

“You know what? “Whether you sacrifice others or yourself, treating people’s lives like flies is the same.”

No, why can’t you think about conquering dungeons in a regular way? I’m teaching you! From the basics! Steadily! How to conquer a dungeon!!

Oh Hyun-wook gritted his teeth. He seemed to be straining his jaw.

That chin reminded me of a man who had taken care of me in the past at my uncle’s request. Before I fell into alcoholism. Before I gained a lot of weight. Not a pig, but a talented young man who was attracting attention as a promising successor to Hong Seok-young.

A man who did good things that didn’t fit his personality because he didn’t want to fall to the same level as a guy he didn’t like.

I remember what my uncle told me.

‘You can become a much cooler person.’

Perhaps those words were a hint from the path that Oh Hyun-wook found in the future.

It hurts my pride to think that the enlightenment that the little pig gained may have come back to me… .

To think it goes back to the piglet. what.

I don’t feel bad.

“Completeing a dungeon doesn’t end with failure.”

I lost the strength in my voice.

“If I fail to conquer it, will the dungeon disappear? no. “The gate only blocks monsters from entering and exiting, not hunters from entering and exiting.”

A gate that was blocked allows monsters to enter. That’s Dungeon Break.

“As long as you live, you can always try again.”

“… … .”

“I don’t know if it’s an A-level dungeon or an S-level dungeon. Are you spending your life just to get out of the goblin dungeon? “Don’t even think about entering the dungeon with that kind of skill.”

If we talk more, we’ll end up repeating the same story.

“… In that situation earlier, find a route that will allow everyone to get out of the dungeon without leaving anyone behind. As many as you. seven.”

Yoo Hye-eun is excluded. Kim Chae-min with her younger brother. Even if I take more dungeon strategy classes, it won’t be of much help.

I gestured to Kang Tae-woo.

“Student Taewoo is following me. I’ll look at you separately today. maybe… .”

I looked at Oh Hyun-wook, who was still standing tall, and the children who were just looking at their desks with their heads down.

“For the time being, you will have to take classes alone with me.”

[Oh Hyun-wook – S grade]

[Main Armament – ​​Bare Hand Fighting]

[Master of Guild Memorial]

[Chairman of Hunter Bereaved Family Council]

[Memorial Foundation Chairman]

[Hunter Academy Steering Committee Chairman]

Looking at Oh Hyun-wook’s profile saved at the management office, it is difficult to recall the pig’s face. The list of donations and sponsorships comes to mind first rather than the dungeons I conquered.

Below Piglet’s social contribution activities, there is a list of dungeons he conquered while working as a hunter. A few major strategy dungeons are listed, and then.

[…] [156 cases including dungeons]

This is a significantly smaller number compared to the 709 dungeons that Yoo Ji-eun conquered. Yoo Ji-eun worked like a cow, but even considering that, her reputation is suspiciously small compared to Oh Hyun-wook’s reputation.

That’s natural. Oh Hyun-wook’s specialty was not dungeon raiding.

Increase information viewing level. Since it was only used by the head of the department and me, no other procedures were required. Just by changing the search conditions, hidden documents are revealed.

A document full of censorship.

Oh Hyun-wook mainly handled matters related to illegal awakeners rather than dungeon raids. Most of them were closely related to state secrets or were expunged due to various diplomatic issues.

You can watch things without censorship, but… Is it really necessary? Anyway, this Oh Hyun-wook is no longer there. To raise a piglet to this point now… It would be better to leave it as a cute little pig. At least I can temper my sanity, which is so weak that I can’t even drink alcohol. Get rid of all the unnecessary spirit.

“then… .”

There is almost no sound heard in the classroom. She listened for a moment and then stopped. Remember. Time and effort.

I also grew kidney beans, but you can grow these too. Didn’t you raise me too? What makes me worse than you?

“Why are you here again?”

“lol.”

Yoo Ji-eun laughed brightly.

“Since I’m here today, can’t I listen to it with him? “What you do is not fun.”

Yoo Ji-eun pointed to Kang Tae-woo. It’s not him, it’s my brother. Kang Tae-woo glanced at Yoo Ji-eun and stayed still.

If you watch it like this once or twice, it won’t end. I was trying to tell her sister to go back… It fixed her thinking.

Anyway, while Hong Seok-young was hospitalized, I made him take a few theory classes. In the first place, vague knowledge is the most dangerous.

I saw Yoo Ji-eun. Cheeks with no fat left. Round eyes. A bright smiling mouth. … Also, aren’t you being tempted by nonsense about using magic power to remove waste?

I was planning on teaching Kang Tae-woo about basic safety rules anyway. It would be good for Yoo Ji-eun to know too. The sooner you know about this, the better.

When I didn’t say anything, Yoo Ji-eun quietly sat down with her buttocks pressed together. Meanwhile, I could feel the cold wind as if Da-seon had done something to the parasol. Ji Yu-geon, who couldn’t tell if she was a barista or a hunter, brought her two cups of coffee and a smoothie with a paper name tag attached to her chest.

The sky is clear. It is summer weather without a single cloud. The sun sets a lot later. Normally, classes last until the sun sets.

I opened my mouth as I estimated how much time was left until sunset.

“What do you think is the most important thing a hunter should think about?”

Kang Tae-woo rolled his eyes, and Yoo Ji-eun pretended to be worried before answering.

“fight?”

“It’s not something you have to do best, but something you have to consider important.”

“… uh. hmm.”

Yoo Ji-eun groaned and closed her mouth.

“It’s your life.”

“… … .”

“Always struggle to survive.”

I gulped down my coffee.

“Even if you risk your life to conquer the dungeon, no one will notice.”
