Part 2 Chapter.1 While on honeymoon,

“Aaaah!”

Rurin writes the Oman Award. To be honest, I have the same sentiment as Lurin. The aftertaste was so bad that I wanted to scream.

Surely this isn’t the only food here? Anxiety creeps in. If so, it means that these rubber-flavored mushrooms should be eaten as food.

Looking at Lulin, whose face looked as if the sky had collapsed, I pointed to another oak barrel.

“are you okay. “There is still hope.”

“uh? Oh oh!”

Let’s see.

I opened the lid, hoping that this oak barrel contained completely different ingredients. And without hesitation, I threw it down on the floor.

Rumble.

The mushrooms that were filling the oak barrel are pouring out. Fortunately, the type of mushroom was completely different.

If the previous one looked like a button mushroom, this one looked similar to a reishi mushroom.

A distinctly different appearance.

So I picked it up with the expectation that the taste would be noticeably different. What’s interesting is that although it looks similar to the reishi mushroom, the color is completely different.

A thin red line was drawn on a white background.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a poisonous mushroom?

No? Do you think poisonous mushrooms are delicious?

“Lurin, I’ll eat it first this time. wait. Eh?”

While looking at the mushrooms, he turned his gaze to Rurin and said, but it was already too late.

Lulin was already stuffing his mouth full of mushrooms.

Were you that hungry? It’s like an indomitable hunger that doesn’t care about failure.

This is Lulin’s obsession with food.

“Kwaaaaaak!”

But the result is the worst.

The same thing from before just repeats itself.

No, Lulin reacted more violently than before and started running around. I just spit it out and didn’t jump around like that.

To what extent is it like that?

I looked at the mushroom in my hand again. I thought I had to taste it first, so I took a small piece and put it in my mouth.

Hmm?

As soon as I savored the taste, no need to savor it, as soon as I put it in, a strong sour taste began to rise.

It looks like a mushroom but is actually a fruit?

It feels like the strong sour taste of unripe fruit. Even after eating just a little, a strong sour taste lingered throughout my body to the point where I couldn’t straighten my face.

It feels 10 times more sour than a lemon. A sour taste that makes you irritated.

“It’s annoying!”

“okay. me too.”

Even if you eat just a little bit, it’s okay, but it’s Lulin that you put in one bite.

There was income in the sense that there was food to eat, but it didn’t feel like I had found the answer to my food problem until it tasted like this.

There are no more oak barrels.

All that appears to be club-shaped metal weapons used by monsters. And there was an unidentifiable white cotton ball.

Since I couldn’t identify it, I passed it for now. Since I had searched everything, I returned to the crossroads from earlier. There was no other option as there was no passageway from one side to the other.

A crossroads where we stand again.

Since the right side is blocked by what looks like a monster’s room, was the right answer in the end the left one?

As expected, there were no other options here either, so I started walking along the left path.

Lulin’s mouth was still numb, so she couldn’t speak properly and was trudging along with a lethargic gait.

To keep what I said earlier, he walked in front of me with his shoulders slumped.

The path on the left did not reveal a huge space like before; it was just a straight passage.

The only thing I can hear is the footsteps of Lurin and I in the passage.

Just a few minutes.

This time, it didn’t take long for a change to appear. A strong light began to appear before my eyes.

Perhaps because of this, Rurin, who was ahead, stopped and I also stopped.

“It looks like there’s something different in front of here? “Be careful, Lurin.”

“I think so. “Stay behind me!”

“Just in case, hold my hand first.”

“i get it!”

Lulin held my hand and we walked towards the light.

What appeared at the end was a monster.

The space was wider than before. It was quite a large space. It felt like I was in the middle of a construction site.

What was even more surprising was that the small monsters that filled the space were all looking at us who had suddenly appeared.

It’s not just one or two. The units were completely different.

“What are these again?”

Lurin was taken aback, perhaps annoyed by the large number of people, and I frowned.

Moreover, there are not only small monsters. The large monster I faced earlier was also there.

Of course, the number of large monsters was overwhelmingly small. About 10?

The same loud roar as before hits my ears.

At the same time, Lurin’s mood worsened again. Looking at Lulin’s expression, it was obvious what the screams meant.

These guys are as aggressive as anyone can tell.

However, the small monsters that made up the vast majority of this space were different. It doesn’t scream or rush at us, it just looks at us.

The ones that are running towards you are large monsters.

He came running stomping away holding a metal club. Every time that happened, the small monsters that were doing something were seen shaking in surprise.

When I say that the charging monsters are carnivores, it somehow feels like I’m looking at herbivores.

“you. “Kill them!”

Lulin asked with an angry expression. I think the same thing over there. Because it looks like it’s going to tear the intruder to pieces.

After nodding, Lulin immediately used his breath.

Quaaaaang-!

The monster that was running exploded into flames.

The second monster stopped in surprise and fell victim to the breath again.

Lulin was already using his breath freely. Using only the necessary amount, the monster exploded.

Meanwhile, the white monsters that were the most numerous here, about as tall as my waist and with big eyes, seemed somehow cute when I just looked at them, they were still looking in this direction.

There seemed to be no intention to fight at all.

Just looking at the sight, it looked like giant monsters were taking care of smaller monsters.

The small monsters were digging the ground as if they were doing something.

What they were holding in their hands was none other than mushrooms.

mushroom.

Yes, that tasteless mushroom I saw earlier.

“you! There are a lot of numbers. Annoying.”

“I know. Cheer up. “Honey!”

“Hihi, as your wife, I give you strength. “I have to protect my husband.”

Lulin nodded and used his breath again. Thanks to Lurin, who began to exert himself, other monsters immediately exploded. Rurin ran her hand through her hair in front of me.

Crack.

He shook off his hands that had something on them and made a triumphant expression. It turns.

Did you get any dust on it?

I wanted to ask that, but I held back because there were more urgent matters than that. I quickly gave him a back hug from behind.

Of course, this is not a romantic back hug.

It’s a back hug to stop Rurin’s next move.

This is because Lurin tried to attack even small monsters, seeing them as the same monsters.

To Lulin, monsters are just monsters.

“Wait a minute, stop, Lurin. Until there.”

“What is it? Why are you hugging me so suddenly? I’m fighting… “It doesn’t matter!”

“Look Carefully. They’re a different kind. Looks innocent. Like our Rare’s Lulun.”

“cucumber?”

Lulin, who had no interest in distinguishing between monsters, only then began to look closely at the small monsters.

Lurin is basically a guy who doesn’t observe things other than food and me.

“You guys look weak.”

“Yes, aside from his weakness, he doesn’t seem to have any particularly aggressive intentions. “I guess we can talk?”

“Ugh?”

conversation. In other words, Rurin looked annoyed when asked to interpret.

Meanwhile, once all the large monsters were eliminated, the small monsters soon began to fall to the ground. Everyone.

He wasn’t just lying down, he was lying face down and shaking. It looks like it is very scared, with its white fur trembling.

I thought that these people were probably being treated like slaves by the monsters they had defeated.

They were probably forced to dig up mushrooms, which seem to be the staple food of the monsters here.

“Hoo. “I recognize this body.”

Lurin gave a satisfied smile to the prone monster.

“No, it’s similar, but… .”

It was clear that Lulin’s breath was that scary. Anyway, I went closer to the guys lying down with Lurin for a conversation.

If you can talk, you may be able to get information about this place. They seem to be monsters that live here, so they must know detailed information.

Lurin suddenly stopped in front of me and said.

“you! “You are weak here, so be careful.”

“No, but one or two monsters are okay.”

Even without magic, I was wallowing in the monster war zone. You can take on one or two in hand-to-hand combat.

“One or two?”

“huh.”

“The original you were okay with hundreds of millions of monsters.”

“Well, that’s true.”

“So you have to be careful! I can never forgive you for getting hurt. “Because that’s the thing I hate most in the world.”

Lulin shook his head with a serious face and started laughing.

Then he spread his arms in front of me.

Want a hug in this situation?

I’m still not hugged first.

First of all, I hugged Lulin with open arms. Pretend you can’t win.

Then he wrapped his arms around my back and immediately opened his mouth.

“You can walk now. I am the shield. Huhi.”

“Eh?”

“This body can block most attacks even without mana.”

They say that’s possible because the dragon’s skin was changed to human form.

“That… Thank you. Those monsters are so… … .”

“Can not be done!”

Lulin shouted with resolute determination.

I had no choice, so I walked forward toward the delicate monsters while holding Lurin in my arms.

They were still prone and began to flinch and tremble as Lulin and I approached.

Just by looking at this, you can tell at a glance that they are a race that is far from fighting.

“Now that’s enough, Lurin, go away and talk to me.”

“With a low-level monster like that?”

“huh.”

“right. I don’t want to fall. It’s hard because I’m hungry… … .”

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! Don’t do that! Tickle!”

“do. “Honey.”

When I tickled his waist, he twisted his body and barely fell off. Thanks to that, he turned his anger towards the wrong little monsters and started glaring at them.

“You guys!”

“Kuuuuuuuuukun!”

“uh?”

Lurin shouted, then uttered a word with an absurd expression and looked at me.

“what?”

So I asked, and Rurin started translating.

“I said thank you for helping me. But when did we help these guys?”

Lulin is right. To be honest, I never helped.

Because we just exploded the monster that attacked us. If the action was described as help, it would mean that the small monsters were being forced to work like slaves.

Now that I think about it, I thought that that place was a place that the guys who run the small monsters used to take turns resting.

And the white cotton ball I saw in that circular space earlier was the corpse of this little monster.

Huh.

They say that they manipulate them and kill them at will. Large monsters are not only warlike, but are also tyrant-like monsters.
