79 – There are no bad dogs in the world.

Ugh!

A strange feeling when passing through a gate that I feel after a long time.

When I entered the gate,

Everyone was doing their best to show off what they saw when they first entered the gate.

“…With.”

“…I just closed and opened my eyes for a moment.”

Whoop!!!

Under a steep cliff,

A stone mountain full of fog-like clouds.

The temperature is different from the beach you’ve been to before.

“Huh…”

“How is it? What’s the gate to come in after a long time?”

“… Not very good.”

“hahahaha… Shall we look around first?”

Even if you look around,

There are only mountains and clouds around.

“…? Verdine-nim. Is there anything around?”

“Um… Did you say Elena?”

“Ah.. Yes!”

Chuck.

Verdine opened her mouth as she moved her gaze down the cliff with a gentle smile.

“The surroundings I’m talking about. I mean down here.”

“…Yes?”

Without time to surprise everyone, including Elena.

Chack!

I immediately took out a small dagger from her chest and cut her palm.

“Then shall we go?”

“Wait.. What is that..!!”

Mulkyong!

The blood magic that spewed out from Verdine’s palm,

In an instant, they wrapped everyone in round beads.

-Quaguaguagua!!

The ball of blood rolled forward in that state,

I started plummeting down the cliff.

-Kyaaa!!!

‘You don’t have good taste.’

There must have been a way to get down safely enough,

It must be because she wants to see the reaction of Selina and her children.

By the way.

‘…Actually, I missed you a little too.’

I looked around with a feeling of half anticipation and half worry.

Bell, who is tightly wrapped in Morhan’s form, with his eyes tightly closed,

Morhan stares down with calm eyes while holding such a bell.

With my free hand, I was holding the handle of the halberd behind my back.

It seems that they are thinking of ways to offset the impact of falling in case of emergency.

“Oh…”

I wonder if Verdine was also seeing the same scene as me,

A small exclamation flows out.

And as for Elena and Selina…

“Kyaaa”

I could tell without looking.

Anis-sama, who is looking at Elena, who has fallen into a panic, with her cold eyes.

The figure of Selina scratching her palm with her teeth clenched together and her eyes narrowed forcibly.

“… I didn’t expect it to be this great.”

Verdine laughed in embarrassment and spread her blood orbs in liquid form.

-Charleureuk!

As the orbs that turned into liquid touch the floor, they absorb a large shock and explode at the same time.

Puong!

It vaporizes in an instant and returns to Verdine’s palm.

“Arrived!”

“…”

“Huh…”

There was no one to answer Verdine’s bright signal of arrival.

Morhan, who is just calming the weeping Bell,

There was only Selina striding towards Verdine with her hatchet eyes open.

“…What?”

“…Let’s talk for a minute, Mr. Verdine.”

Right after that, Selina dragged Verdine and disappeared somewhere behind her.

“…”

I spoke to the distraught Elena.

I think she was very surprised to see her face turn white…

“Are you okay?”

“…Does it always have to move like this when entering the gate?”

“Um… Wouldn’t it?”

“I… She who entered the guild may have lost her confidence a bit…”

… Wrong.

She was already in a state of jjuguri.

As she began to shake her head and grasp her surroundings,

Verdine and Selina were walking towards us with an embarrassed expression.

Verdine, who arrived before her eyes, hurriedly lowered her head.

“Sorry! I was kidding…!”

She was, of course, a fool who made her fall from a cliff with only a playfulness, but

Deputy guild master of a famous guild even if it rots.

Elena and Morhan smiled shyly and readily accepted Verdine’s apology.

“…Can’t you do that next time?”

Nodding.

Selina walks out into the Stone Mountains with her disapproving look on her face.

“Ehh. Let’s start searching quickly. We don’t have time yet…”

“So to save time…”

“Noisy!”

By the way…

‘This is the first terrain like this.’

A mountain made entirely of stone.

In spite of falling so far,

From noble mtl dot com

If you look around, you can see something dark below, and it seems that it is still quite high up in the air.

“Hmm… It’s a mountain made of cliffs… The wind blows so hard that it would be better to name this terrain ‘Valley of the Wind’!”

“…Wasn’t there a set field for the gate?”

“Originally, no one knows what is beyond the gate. Nothing has been confirmed.”

“However, at the academy, each field has its own method of dealing with monsters…”

“That’s just the result of sending big data according to the terrain,”

Verdine is right.

Just as the parts of animals that develop are determined in their way of life,

The monsters that live according to the terrain also have developed similar body parts.

For that reason, the law of destruction is similar, so we are just equating it.

If you look closely, each gate has a slightly different shape and habit.

‘Well… Actually learning about the advanced course of the gate started from the 2nd year, so,’

No wonder Selina, a first grader, and her children don’t know.

“… Then. How do you know what kind of monsters appear?”

At the same time as Elena’s question.

Dude.

The footsteps of Verdine, who was walking in the lead, stopped abruptly.

“… Mr. Verdine?”

At the same time as Selina expresses her doubts.

Greuk…

A sound like rocks being dragged came from somewhere.

A mountain of stone.

The sound of rocks being pulled.

It’s easy to infer if you’ve given hints up to this point.

“Back..!”

The rocks that were embedded next to the road we had just passed,

-Geug geug !!

Each one was being led by itself and was transforming into something of a gigantic shape.

“Golem!”

The moment everyone urgently prepares for battle..!

Quaang!!!

“… Huh?”

The rocks that were gathering in the nearest place exploded.

Then…

Quaang!! Quaang!! Quaang!!!

The road we passed explodes in series, shattering the gathering rocks.

In an instant, all the golems in sight exploded before they could show themselves.

While everyone is dumbfounded,

I breathed mana into his eyes and looked around.

‘…Wow.’

The red mana that is constantly leaking out from the small scar on Verdine’s palm,

It was entangled in the place we passed.

It looks as if hundreds of red threads have been scattered.

‘You just laid it all out while walking…? So sophisticated?’

Belle’s eyes widened when she belatedly turned her head and confirmed the tragedy on the way back.

Verdine opened her mouth with a hearty smile.

“…Aren’t you here to play today? Don’t worry, just follow me.”

“Suddenly, you look very reassured..!”

“Suddenly…”

“…Because he was originally an excellent person. Then, let’s quickly look back before the sun goes down.”

With Verdine at the head,

I started exploring the inside of the gate.

Either Morhan or Elena, who were very nervous at first,

As Verdine continued to slay the monster before it appeared, she calmed down and began to observe the surrounding scenery.

The wind blows above the clouds in an unrealistic landscape of nature.

Except that this is inside the gate and monsters appear,

It may be a suitable place for a trip.

A few hours passed and the boss monster was also defeated.

“… Nothing so special.”

“What. How many things can I do in Stone Mountain?”

Anyway, picking up stones and throwing them down the cliff?

‘But I’m not a kid, no one has done that…’

-Poof!

A little further away,

Belle throws a stone the size of her fist down the cliff and watches with her twinkling eyes how far it falls.

“…”

I have nothing to say.

“… Shall we go back soon?”

“I see. Now go back and prepare for lunch…”

It was then.

-…Beep…

I heard something like a bird barking somewhere.

“… Just now.”

“Shh.”

Verdine closed her eyes, alerting her senses.

– Chuck.

She pointed somewhere with her finger.

The place Verdine’s finger was pointing at was a place where several stones were clumped together some distance away.

“…Is it a bird?”

“Do birds live in places this high?”

“Well. You’ll know when you go.”

But it could also be a dangerous monster.

“… Let me check first.”

So Verdine jumped up on the stone to check the suspicious object first.

By the way.

-…?

Verdine’s head tilts and bends.

“Mr. Verdine!! What is it?!”

-… That! Wait for a sec!!

I was lost in thought for a while among the piles of stones piled high.

-Sueuk.

Soon after, he bent down and began to lift something.

“… What is that?”

“I can’t see well because it’s far away…?”

Verdine easily jumped off the rock and showed me what was in her arms.

“Look. What the hell is that…”

“… Beep?”

Beep?

Pong!

Something hiding between Verdine’s coat peeked out his head.

The size of a puppy, big eyes,

The teeth are still visible through the round snout, as if they haven’t finished growing yet.

And finally…

A fluttering little wing rising from the wing bone.

“…This.”

“Wow! Cute!”

Looking at their appearance, they look like high-level monsters like Drakes and Wyverns,

Because it’s still a baby, I don’t know exactly what kind of monster it is.

The situation in which a child of a monster was found inside the gate.

“… Wait. Isn’t there a mother around?”

“No. At least there weren’t any creatures around here. Be careful though…”

At that time. As he struggled inside his overcoat,

In an instant, Verdine missed him and dropped him to the floor.

“…Beep!!”

Somehow, he seems to be wary of us.

By the way.

“… Legs.”

On the leg of the guy who came out of the coat,

It was studded with black shimmering crystal fragments.

A guy with a limp and black blood.

Come to think of it,

Monsters basically have red eyes, but this guy doesn’t have that.

The time when everyone is hesitating on what to do.

Selina gulped her saliva and walked over to him.

“..Keying!!”

To the guy who puts his legs forward and poses as a threat,

As if Selina wasn’t scared, she strode forward.

“…Selina!”

“It’s still a baby anyway. If it’s dangerous, I’ll take care of it.”

As Selina suddenly approached,

The guy tried to run away, but he was caught by Selina.

Aww!

“… Wait a minute! The wound on your leg is opening..!”

Selina stretches out her hand to pull out the crystal shards from her leg.

-Ugh!!

Black energy began to flow explosively from the fragment.

“… Selina!”

“It’s ok… Kuh!”

Selina, exposed to the black aura, sits down with a frown on her face.

She eventually hugs him again and tries to watch the situation…

“… I think I can.”

This time, Elena came closer to Selina.

-… Mr. Anise.

I quietly called Anise’s name and raised her strength.

Roaring!!!

Then, the flame of purification rose from Elena’s fingertips,

I burned the black crystal shards.

Soon.

Clang!

The crystal shattered,

It vaporized into the air and began to disappear.

“…That’s it.”

“Yes. It is the power of the fairy.”

“Thank you. Then…”

After lightly pouring the potion from Bell’s bag on his leg,

After a few bandages, he stopped limping.

Rather, do you know who the person who healed you is?

He approached the party and started rubbing his head.

“… That’s it!”

Looking at the happy faces of Selina and Elena,

Verdine let out a sigh.

“It’s good, but…”

“How are you going to handle it?”

“I don’t think it’s necessary to exterminate it, but I feel I have no choice but to leave it here.”

“…Wait a minute. If I leave it here and get attacked again…!”

“It can’t be helped. No matter what kind of monster the child is, it doesn’t change that it’s dangerous.”

“.. You mean it’s okay as long as it’s not dangerous?”

“Selina…”

No matter how young the appearance is,

Monsters are monsters.

Here’s Selina breaking her stubbornness…

It was then.

“Listen carefully.

If you don’t want to be here, you must prove that you are not in danger.”

Selina grabbed him by the armpit and said,

I started trying to talk.

“…?”

Suddenly?

But it was not the first time seeing Verdine,

He grabbed her head and let out a big sigh.

“… Here we go again.”

“Again?”

“…Since she was a child, Selina has never been a fan of animals.

She couldn’t have animals in her house because of her strict family, but she was so stubborn… “

Verdine opened her mouth as she approached Selina with her pitiful eyes.

“Selina. I understand your feelings, but here…”

“Sit down!”

“Beep!”

…Huh?

Selina’s Sit! A guy who sits quietly with her hands together.

All at once, an expression of bewilderment appeared on her face.

And the fun party between Selina and the guy didn’t end there.

“Back!”

“Beep! Beep!”

Twirling.

“Wait!”

“Beep!”

-…

By the time everyone’s faces start to change from bewilderment to surprise.

Selina tried her last trick with a final blow.

“Bread!”

“Beep… Iik!!”

As Selina shaped her gun with her fingers and fired,

The guy grabbed him by the chest with realistic acting and collapsed.

“…”

For a while.

Only silence filled the gate.
