Episode 170. Scenario Gate (4)
“Then, as promised, I’ll show you the way!”
As soon as we got up the damn fairy spoke.
In fact, there is a secret forest in this kingdom that only the citizens can access, and perhaps the exit we are looking for is beyond that forest.
Because ‘they’ also appeared through the forest.
“them?”
When the raider asked a question, the fairy responded.
“They are giants.”
The fairy trembled as if she had emotions.
“They’re bad guys. Giants love to eat fairies. And their hides are so tough! The light we use doesn’t penetrate them at all.”
The light mentioned here must refer to the magic missile we saw earlier. It’s the technique that pierced Seon Woo-yeon’s abdomen.
“Oh my, giants are bad? Hey! For Christ’s sake, you guys do the same thing! You eat us and hurt us, and then you have the audacity to say something like that?”
But at this time.
One analyst shouted in a voice of disbelief, unable to contain his anger, and the fairy blinked her almond-shaped eyes wildly upon hearing this.
“Fairies and giants are the same? What we’re doing is a joke… … .”
“shut up!”
“Don’t you guys? Isn’t there a rule against hurting your friend when you lose in a game?”
“Even if there is, it’ll end with just a pat on the back or something! Anyway, this crazy… … !”
“Tea, hold on. It might not be good to touch the fairy too much.”
The fairy still didn’t seem to understand what the analyst was saying until he was restrained by another raider.
“The culture is different? Is it different?”
however…….
“Then I’m sorry.”
Soon after, the fairy began to offer us sweet apples. We were momentarily surprised when we heard this.
“I didn’t know customers hated this kind of thing.”
“Uh, uh… … .?”
“If you didn’t like it, I won’t do it again. Really.”
The fairy now bowed her head with a sad and gloomy expression, and the Awakened ones looked at each other with bewildered faces.
I didn’t know the monsters in the dungeon would come out with this attitude…
“I’ll lead you into the forest now. It’s a little far!”
A little later.
The wingless fairy showed unexpected behavior throughout her journey into the forest.
“By the way, aren’t you thirsty? I have some fruit. It’s sweet. I’ll give it to you.”
Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t your feet sore?
Because he cared about the well-being of the guests who followed him and showed them all kinds of kindness.
“Hmm.”
The analyst, who had been very angry just a moment ago, soon began to hesitate and speak.
“If I’m not mistaken… … the fairies that live here seem to be quite friendly, unlike other dungeon creatures.”
First of all, I agree with this part.
“Excuse me, excuse me. Fairy… sir? I have a question. Can I ask you something?”
“sure.”
“Do you guys know what a gate is? You’re a resident here.”
But that’s where it all ends.
The analyst tried to extract some information from the fairy, who seemed to have a strong academic inclination, but as expected, the locals here knew nothing about themselves other than their backgrounds.
“I don’t know.”
Every time I hear stories from outside the kingdom, I just repeat the same sentences.
I knew this would happen the moment I noticed the identity of this dungeon, so I didn’t bother saying useless things to the other person.
“You guys are so talkative. That’s why I like it.”
p*rn.
The wingless fairy raised her voice as if it was amused to see the raiders keep asking questions.
Finally, the forest of problems it spoke of came into view.
“Uh, this is… … .”
“Do you know this place?”
“It’s the place we stopped by on the first day. It was blocked by something like a barrier, so we couldn’t go inside.”
I looked ahead while listening to what Seonwooyeon was saying.
A mysterious boundary surrounded by thick magic. It certainly seems difficult to break through by normal means.
“You need fairy dust to get through here! I can give you some.”
But then.
A fairy floating at a high altitude came near and paused for a moment.
You should prepare the powder or something quickly. Why are you suddenly standing far away and taking a break?
“Uhm. But… … .”
It was around the time when we were wondering.
The wingless fairy finally managed to speak after a long silence.
“I told you where the road is as promised, but I guess you still have to go in here, right?”
“what?”
“As I said before, this is a forest where giants live. Giants are really scary. I’m worried about you all.”

Chuuk.
The fairy stretched out her body, expressing something akin to sadness.
But even after hearing such words, we cannot stop our investigation. Our home exists right outside that forest.
“Okay, just take that powder out.”
I’d like to get off work before I get tired.
I teased my opponent, thinking I could get out of this gate quickly. Then, I got an answer from the fairy.
“That’s solid.”
Somehow, his eyes seem to have become a bit brighter.
“Aren’t you afraid of giants?”
width.
Before we could answer, the fairy gently took his lovely hand and continued speaking.
“You seem brave. Okay. Then I will also be brave and do my best to guide you to the edge of the forest.”
“okay.”
“Instead, I have a suggestion.”
“what?”
“If you have the power, I would like you to take down the blue giant living inside here. You don’t have to do it.”
“… .”
“But if you do, I will be very happy and will definitely give you a favor.”
It’s a new proposal.
The C-class hunter at the back was furious and said that he should never accept a favor from a fairy like that again.
I decide to quietly carry out this errand.
“Killing a giant? Do you know what that means… ?”
“Aren’t you saying that if it’s a monster that eats fairies, it’s stronger than these?”
“Oh my God, then what do you want us to do… … .”
Contrary to their worries, the fairies’ natural enemies were indeed quite formidable beings.
It’s a bit embarrassing to say this when we were just struggling with tag. Anyway, this was the soul of the great wizard.
You can gauge the magical power of the creatures living within the forest without even entering it.
‘It’s about Class D. And the residents even gave orders to punish it.’
A value exactly one level higher than the fairy’s normal level.
Since I didn’t have to be afraid of the unknown if I knew the enemy’s level in advance, I used a cheap trick to win.
“If the giant is stronger than expected, then I will go hunting it myself. So, don’t worry anymore.”
Struggling to maintain a S-class image!
He said shamelessly, “Don’t be afraid, I have a top-class hunter.”
Then, all the survivors are moved.
“oh.”
“Hunter… … .”
If you fool people this easily, it feels like you’re doing something bad with innocent people.
“hmm.”
Fortunately, the discomfort didn’t last long.
After a while, we took our first steps, covered in white powder given by the wingless fairy.
At the entrance of the forest, this kind of scene unfolded.
“This, this, this. Could it be…?”
Wrinkled plate mail.
Broken cane.
And many more besides.
“It was the giant’s doing. He must have just left his inedible clothes here!”
We soon discovered a pile of magical tools believed to belong to the Hunter.
Seonwooyeon examined the items and quickly determined the situation.
“This is the equipment of the missing treasure hunter team.”
It seems that the advance party was completely annihilated in this section.
‘What the heck? It’s all so damaged that it’s unusable.’
I was licking my lips after confirming that there was nothing to salvage from the relics, when Seon Woo-yeon spoke in a small voice next to me.
“Mr. Kiryeo.”
“yes.”
“Isn’t it strange?”
“What kind of point?”
“The fact that the treasure hunter team entered this forest means that they were guided by the only fairy in the kingdom who knows the way.”
But why did Apa say he had never met the Treasure Hunter Team?
Seon Woo-yeon realized the contradiction and tensed up his body. However, even after hearing those words, I just calmly changed my supporting posture.
“Well, maybe that fairy hit the back of the head of the hunter team that went ahead.”
If it were a normal gate, they might do something like that to elicit fear, but the criteria here are a bit special.
‘The scenario type would probably avoid the death of the prey… … ?’
It’s probably just a minor error.
I shrugged and changed the subject. It wasn’t a question I could know the answer to right away anyway.
“By the way, are you feeling better? If you’re feeling better, try walking on your own.”
“Oh, yes.”
We cleared the trail of the advance party and continued the investigation.
It means that the whole body was chasing a white fairy and searching for the exit.
‘I wonder what planet that fairy originally lived on?’
Of course, as the guide had warned us in advance, we only went a few steps before we encountered that ‘giant’.
“uh?”
“Is that a giant?”
“Yes. It’s a giant!”
The fairy’s natural enemy had a form that was far from majestic, befitting its low rank.
A rough, square shape, as if made of clay.
At most, they are only a head taller than Earthlings, and their volume is so small that they feel small.
“It’s so so big! Isn’t it scary?”
Even to the fairies, it looks like a huge beast, but whatever.
“Mr. Seonwooyeon.”
“yes?”
Sneak.
I gestured with my chin in the direction of the giant.
“Please hold me.”
“yes?”
“I can tell now that I’ve met you in person. It’s a D-class monster. Can you see it clearly, Analyst?”
Then, the person with the emotional skill mixed in among the survivors nods his head.
The forest monsters that were so scary were actually just low-level monsters!
Swoosh, swoosh!
Seonwooyeon heard our words and activated her awakening ability. As she used her power to easily cut down the giant’s body, cheers erupted from behind.
“be weak!”
“That’s right. It’s a weak monster!”
“Well, of course it has to be like that since this is EX-class… …!”
The atmosphere brightened in an instant.
First of all, the strategy itself has a bright future, but there are still issues that need to be resolved, so I can’t just laugh about it.
“Hunter Seonwooyeon, I’m sorry, but can you take care of the giants for me in the future?”
To hide the fake ranks, we had to reduce unnecessary actions.
Of course, if I use [Hydra], I can deal with monsters like that, but it’s too strange for an S-class to rely solely on the power of poison.
If the reaction of “Why bother?” builds up and builds up, it will eventually develop into suspicion.
‘Now let’s tease this Earthling. Well, let’s just say that we want to check if he’s using the skills we taught him properly… ‘
I wanted to leave the giant hunting to the B-class hunter next to me. But the response I got was surprising.
“Ah… Is that the reason?”
“yes?”
“I told you before. Mr. Kiryeo, your awakening ability is dangerous to use in a place where there are people.”
Whisper whisper.
Soon after, Seonwooyeon whispered something so that no one could hear.
“But there are definitely a lot of people here who are close to being unawakened, so you should be careful.”
“hmm.”
“Because if exposed to S-class magical power, some people might just faint.”
She nodded as if making a promise while saying this.
“Anyway, I understand what you mean, Hunter. From now on, I will take the lead.”
uh?
I haven’t even done anything yet… … and you already understood everything… … ?
For a moment, I felt fortunate, but that feeling soon subsided.
Suddenly, I thought to myself, how much have I been threatening you all this time that now you’ve reached a point where misunderstandings will just roll in on their own even if you just sit still.
‘I can’t even remember when the lie that Seonwooyeon is believing now was said.’
I took a moment to reflect on my life-long skepticism.
