“So I want to ask you a favor.”

Nora, who explained the background sufficiently, began to speak the main point.

“Hey, have you already stolen Rosalind and Abel’s skills without knowing how?”

“Ugh.”

Jain scratched his head. It was a de facto affirmation. However, what followed was not a rebuke.

“Good job.”

“Yes?”

“If you get a chance, can you take the rest of them too?”

Jain, who was perplexed for a moment, soon realized Nora’s intentions. The oracle of Seongmok did not designate a specific person as the person who would prevent an impending invasion. He pointed to ‘the one who has the skill’. In other words, it meant that Jain and Elaine, who shared that skill with the ‘Bond’ skill, could also be the target of the oracle.

I think it is better to rely on Zain than to rely on the Star Seekers, who have not grown as much as expected because of the demons and their original personality. Nora must have been thinking like that.

In other words, Nora was indirectly requesting Jain to protect this land. Jain was silent for a moment, then said.

“What’s the price?”

“In return, um, I’ll give you anything I can give you.”

Nora answered as if nervously, and interlocked her hands. With her pink hair braided and flowing through her ears, she was beautiful even though she was exhausted from heavy work. Jain, who had been contemplating looking at her face for a moment, said:

“Then, in return, open the Secret Forest.”

“Secret forest?”

Secret Forest is a forest on the outskirts of Rotern, and it was a dungeon like a challenge that was unlocked only after clearing it. It was set as a place infested with demons and demons sealed by the Holy Tree of Rotern.

“The Magul, why… ”

“There is a reason you must go in.”

Jain said clearly. The reason was clear.

‘Sword Demon Soya. To summon that demon hunter, there is no other answer in this city.’

sword devil cow A woman with long black hair wearing oriental clothes and dragging a long katana.

She was the modern heir to the one-man tradition for hunting demons.

In the original story, it was an NPC that entered the battle at random. When he was in danger while fighting a high-level demon, he suddenly broke in and helped the main character and disappeared.

The unique skill she possessed was the ‘single-handled brother’ that made Gramhilt able to some extent even for non-heroes.

The one-armed brother had the power to use all swords to the limit. In return, the skill constantly demanded the blood of the devil. In addition, it constantly corroded the body and mind of its master, and eventually turned even the master into a demon called ‘Sword Demon’.

Before becoming a swordsman, a sect that enlists students to kill the master and continues a one-man tradition. That was the haunted gate.

‘So it would be better for each other to take it now.’

Jain was confident that he would not lose to the punishment of the danaksuseon. If anything, I could change it to another magic by creating magic. When it was all over, I could have removed this terrible penalty and returned it to Soya. So, the first priority was to summon the sword demon and steal the skill.

‘But there are limited ways to break in that woman.’

In the original, the method of intruding Soya was simple. Satisfying the conditions and hunting high-ranking demons, they were supposed to break in someday. The problem was that there were no high-ranking demons in Rotern. Except in one place, the Secret Forest.

“then… ”

Nora, who had set out to do anything, fell into deep sorrow when she heard a request to open the secret forest. If the demon escaped from the Secret Forest, it was obvious that it would inflict as much damage to Rotern as Amthuseus’s runaway. If it did, it wouldn’t end with one Nora giving up her head. It wasn’t an easy decision.

“Can you afford it?”

“Accidents will not happen. I guarantee it.”

“Something else, isn’t it?”

“Aren’t you supposed to do anything?”

Nora eventually succumbed to Jain’s tough attitude. With a sigh, Nora nodded her head.

“I get it. I’ll pass it on to the forest keeper. Open the forest.”

“thank you.”

The first paving stone for summoning the swordsman was laid neatly. Jain smiled and pulled something out of his pocket. A necklace with emerald hanging on it, it was a summoning talisman obtained by catching an Archdaemon among the Four Heavenly Kings the other day. An amulet that allows Jain to break through space and appear if the wearer is in danger.

“Whatever you say instead, please accept it.”

Nora seemed to be one of the most important NPCs in this Jinmahuang scenario. And, the most important NPC in the original work was always exposed to the risk of sudden death. I was relieved to hand this over.

“What is this?”

“It’s a gift. I definitely wear it.”

Nora hesitated and put the amulet around her neck. Jain had already lifted the soundproof barrier and got up from his seat. As Nora touched the talisman’s jade, she gave a small thank-you note.

“This is my first time receiving a gift from a man. Thank you.”

“It was nothing.”

The secret meeting between the two ended with this.

*

Herena’s cafe was closed because it was a holiday.

In the corner, Karin and Jain were caring for Amduk together.

‘Isn’t it okay to do what Master said?’

When Amduk was presented and asked for help honestly, Jain hung out with Karin since the morning of the holiday without saying anything. The two had been together for several hours, repeating taking care of Amduk, who begs him to play like a kitten. Zain was scratching Amduk’s lower jaw, which had soft white fur like a cushion, with his index finger. His side face was so gentle, it was hard to imagine that he was a Jain who always frowned and used abusive language.

‘I think the atmosphere is good enough.’

Karin, who swallowed her saliva and looked at her, straightened her voice and brought out the lines she had prepared.

“So good?”

“Not at all.”

“Hey, lie. Anyway, if it’s that good. Let me give you a special name. Thank you.”

This was the most gentle invitation that Karin could pull out. Luina, who secretly watched the scene with the Amduk doll, tapped her forehead. It was because he thought that Jain might be angry with his cheeky tone. However, surprisingly, Jain answered without any reaction.

“name?”

And I started thinking without saying a word. Karin’s face filled with anticipation. Jain pondered for a moment, then grabbed Amduk’s arms and asked.

“Is this guy a female?”

“yes.”

“Wang Malsoon… Soon-deok Yeom… Kim Chun-ja… ”

Jain mumbled several names. His naming sense was a bit destructive. Jain, who had been reciting those names for a long time, came to a conclusion.

“How about Chun-ja?”

“Chunja? What do you mean?”

“In our hometown language, it means the child of spring.”

It wasn’t wrong. Amduk, who suddenly became a Chunja, resisted desperately. He barked, “King, king,” and twisted his body to get out of Jain’s hand and cling to Karin’s arms. However, Amduk’s cry could not be heard in Karin’s ears.

‘Go, hometown.’

He already knew, indirectly, how important hometown was to Jain. If you give him a name with those words, he will feel a great sense of responsibility. Karin had already fallen in love with that thought. Embracing Amduk, Karin quickly nodded.

“Chunja. That’s a good name for what you came up with.”

“Is that so? I’m glad.”

“yes! Your name is Chunja from today!”

“Keeing… ”

Karin raised Chun-ja and smiled broadly. Seeing that smile, Chun-ja immediately drooped as if resigned and started licking Karin’s cheeks. Jain looked at him, smiled as if he was satisfied, and turned around.

“Then I have work to do. I will go up.”

“yes?”

“I’ll be sitting at my desk in my room, so if you have any problems, call me right away.”

And without waiting for an answer, I climbed up the stairs whistling. Karin, who stared blankly at the scene, immediately grabbed Chun-ja and ran towards the table where Luina was hiding.

“Master! I did as Master said and it worked really well!”

“right?”

In response to Karin’s reaction, Louisa opened her chest as if saying hello. In fact, Ruina was more happy than Karin. It was because he wondered whether the knowledge he had learned only from books would work.

‘After all, the wisdom of the seonsyeons works!’

And then, Louisa began to get excited. She was clearly a beginner in dating. Excited by some success, she soon began to enter the worst state a beginner could enter. It had entered the so-called ‘peak of folly’, in a state in which only confidence was bloated compared to ability. Runaway Ruina confidently announced the progress of the next plan.

“Then tell me your next plan! Call him to the warehouse in the backyard!”

“yes!”

However, Karin, who was completely fascinated by Ruina, did not notice it. And just as he said, he called Jain and walked into the dark backyard warehouse.

“Why the warehouse all of a sudden?”

“I have something to find. you are tall I can get things out of my reach.”

Turning around, Karin looked around the warehouse. There didn’t seem to be anything unusual in the warehouse. what’s the plan As I was pondering in my mind, the plan began.

bang!

“ok?”

With a loud noise, the door to the warehouse was closed. Jain felt a faint trace of magical power in the movement of the door.

‘Is it a trap?’

Jain walked towards the door with his face hardened. And confirmed. As if woven by a great magician, the door was locked with an elaborate, useless magic trick.

“What, what?”

“Stuck. I put a barrier so that someone with nothing to do can get out of this warehouse until certain conditions are met.”

If you want to force dispel, you could do it. However, there was a chance that part of the warehouse would be destroyed. Then Helena will be very angry. Jain patted his chin and pondered. Karin, with her face hardened, asked with her arms crossed.

“What is that condition?”

“The conditions for breaking the barrier are, so.”

Zain pondered for a moment. It was because he was not sure of the interpretation himself. As such, the conditions were absurd.

“I will kiss you.”

“yes?”

“You say you can’t leave the room until you kiss me?”

“What, what, what, what?”

Master! Karin screamed inwardly. Karin’s face was so red that it could be seen clearly even in the dark.

“Let’s say thank you with a wedding invitation!”

On the other hand, Luina, who had hit this barrier, was lying on a branch overlooking the warehouse, yawning droopingly.
