“Is this Heirin?”

The whole view of Heirin begins to look earthy.

Also, it looks very similar to the one in the game.

Heirinseong, a Japanese-style castle, is located in the center, and a city with commercial districts spreads out around it.

Anyway, seeing the city that I had seen in a different dimension actually spread out in front of me was quite exciting.

“What is it, your eyes are twinkling… After all, you have a pretty child-like corner, don’t you?”

“I am 15 years old this year. I don’t think I’m old enough to be treated as a child.”

“Jjasik… This older sister is in her thirties this year, and I still see nothing but blood in my eyes.”

Saying so, it is Kate pinching my cheek.

Considering Bing’s previous age, I was also close to 30 years old.

If you add up the age you’ve lived since being possessed… It’s to the point where the flamboyant Kate feels cute.

After arguing with her like that, I arrived at the entrance of the castle wall before I knew it.

The appearance of the guards guarding the wall was, of course, very different from the northern one.

“Mr. Kate and her escort? You have been confirmed.”

The northern part wore full plate armor full of fur,

Here in eastern Heirin, the guards wore samurai armor.

Differences in stats such as speed and stamina would of course be implemented.

“Haha! Damn it, I’m going to lose my eyes If you want to go sightseeing, come to a foreign trade association. Because I know all about things to see.”

“Because I have to go to that ordeal… Please stop promoting the company, Mr. Kate.”

“What, are you coming now and drawing a line?”

She said that and put a headlock on me again.

Of course, I could have solved it if I had to, but I just thought it was a sign of intimacy and stayed still.

… It was never the fault of her breasts touching her face. never.

‘How did they become so close?’

It must have been a minor role in the game without even an illustration.

I became quite attached to him, perhaps because of his amiable personality or because we passed the ordeal of death together.

If it was inside the game, it would have been impossible.

Being so lost in her thoughts, Kate let out a stern voice.

“I’ll take care of the bounty, so come and get it. Surely?”

“thank you. But I have to go to the ordeal right away.”

“What is it, don’t you enjoy sightseeing?”

“I told you I wasn’t here to play.”

There’s nothing wrong with being close, but there were not just one or two difficulties.

First of all, I had to return to the north after receiving the hidden piece from the ordeal as soon as possible.

If anything happens to Arlott while I’m gone… It’s a landscape you can’t even imagine.

That’s why you should avoid wasting more time with Kate.

‘Looks like it’s time to leave… ‘

Remuneration for the escort was received as an advance payment.

Now that the escort mission has been completed, there is virtually no reason to be with her anymore.

Originally, there was additional money to be paid upon completion of the mission, but money was not what was urgent right now.

Rather, as an apology for leaving without a word, I hoped she would accept it.

So, I quietly use my skills next to her, who spreads information about the bratty East…

He left the carriage and hid in the shadows of the crowd.

Realizing too late that I was gone, she stopped the carriage and looked around, but it was all pointless.

This is because the center of the city, where commercial districts developed, was more crowded than expected.

“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh… ”

Heirin Castle, which was modeled after Osaka Castle, has a terrifyingly high mountain behind it.

At the top of the mountain, where the clouds hang, a temple is faintly visible.

It is a temple and ordealer that tests human limits through trials.

“Ugh… Ugh… ”

The stairs of the ordeal, which is majestic just by looking at it, lead from the bottom of the mountain, blocking the novices with a kind of first ordeal.

Well, only its performance is acknowledged.

The near-infinite stairs really worked for me as a huge ordeal.

“Heh uh uh… uh… uh…”

Still, after hours of desperate struggle with the stairs, I stood at the entrance of the ordeal.

There were many times when I really wanted to give up in the middle…

‘I’m Eralmam. I’m Eralma I’m Eralma I’m Eralma I’m Eralma I’m Eral Mom.’

patience… Instead, I was able to climb up with Eral Mamja engraved in my heart.

It was only possible because of his endless love for Arlot and his self-brainwashing.

What’s so hard about going up those stairs?

I thought so too at first.

However, that guy, the guy I stepped on was far from an ordinary staircase.

‘… Why doesn’t the scenery change as if it stopped in the middle?’

Maybe halfway up, I felt like I was going round and round in the same spot.

It didn’t feel like it, it really was.

My legs worked hard toward the next step, but my position still didn’t change.

It was a strange phenomenon.

Of course, it also rose steadily because it rose steadily.

In the game, there was nothing like taking the main character away, but it’s probably like a barrier.

Knock- Knock- Knock-

A huge door almost as high as the second floor of an apartment building.

I barely managed to catch my breath and knocked hard on the metal doorknob.

When no one came, he sent me a message every 10 seconds, and I heard someone pretending to be there.

“What kind of guy are you?”

The one who opened the door and appeared was a monk.

Obviously, the clothes and hair were of a monk, but the impression was so stern that one could think that he was far from being benevolent.

Even I, who had been trained by the stern face of the Grand Duke of the North, was slightly frightened.

Still, I had come this far, but I couldn’t back down, so I decided to gather my courage.

“I have come to be tried.”

Saying that, he politely put his hands together and bowed his head.

The themes of the ordeal are ‘trial’ and ‘courtesy’.

If you keep these two things in mind, you won’t be kicked out of the ordeal at least-

“No work. Than no, how the hell did you get here? Right now, the ordeal will strictly forbid civilians from entering.”

What else does this mean?

I came here because I climbed the stairs hard…

Even at the beginning of the stairs leading to the ordeal, there was no guidance written.

In a word, I was unhappy.

“I have not received any guidance. I only came because they said I could be tried.”

“anyway… It looks like you’ve got something wrong, but we don’t accept new trials for a year. Go back.”

“Teacher, no Master. please let me in… ”

Despite the pitiful clinging using the fifteen-year-old’s body,

The thug in front… No, the bad guy tried to close the door as it was.

I couldn’t go back, so I blew my body right away and got my foot caught in the crack in the door.

As far as leaving this place without any income, I wanted to avoid it somehow.

“Oh, don’t you take this off? Do you think they will accept this?”

“please… We have to go through trials here and go back.”

“Hey, come back in a year?”

“There is a dying person in our house. One o’clock is urgent. please let me in… !”

The old man seemed to be annoyed, and his words were getting shorter and shorter.

I wanted to be annoyed by this guy who endured all kinds of trials in the history of trials, but…

In any case, even if I died, I couldn’t go down naked.

Stairs are also stairs, but Arlott will still be waiting for me.

Throwing away all other game knowledge and reason, I tried to persuade him by relying on my emotions.

“… I’d rather kill me, if it goes on like this, I… !”

“under… I’m really sure this-”

Just when the unbearable Dingjung was about to use his fist, a solemn voice was heard from beyond the temple.

“Choji, stop it.”

“Lord, chief monk!”

The thug’s movements stopped with the old man’s voice.

The owner of the voice was the abbot of the next ordeal

‘… It’s to the point of being alive.’

He was almost skeletal with wrinkles all over his body.

Even though he was well over 300 years old, he looked so frail.

Even in the game, it was described as looking very old, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.

“Sir, you are welcome. Isn’t that some kind of rogue bastard, begging you to let him in?”

“Let them in.”

“Yes… ? But now, civilians are prohibited from entering… ”

“There is no turnover. Since it’s late, please guide Ahae to the lodging.”

“… Yes, monk.”

The thug seemed to have a lot of complaints, but he lowered his head, as if he couldn’t disobey the governor’s words.

Afterwards, with his guidance, we arrived at a small inn at the back of the ordeal.

He put me in an empty room and brought me a monk’s robe from somewhere and handed it to me.

The room felt like a cramped kosiwon, but I was strangely relieved by the structure similar to the room in the north.

“Put it on. It will be yours from now on.”

“Thank you, monk.”

“… Call me Choji. You will see it often as middle and high school students.”

It seems that the thug’s name is Choji.

Regeneration means civilians who came to undergo trials in this ordeal.

Among those civilians, those who had a will and took refuge became jung (衆).

I don’t know what kind of realization this guy who easily punches civilians has learned…

Choji seems to be doing well.

“It’s late at night, so go to bed right away.”

“Yes, Mr. Choji.”

Despite my respectful greeting, he leaves the room without a word as if he is uncomfortable.

I didn’t even have time to care about it, I changed my clothes appropriately and went to sleep.

From tomorrow, I had to pass the ordeal at high speed.

‘The goal is to get the hidden piece before the trial of flames or something is over.’

I engrave my goal back into my heart and immediately fell asleep.
