When ingested, all five elements resistance and affinity slightly rise.

When ingested, all health-related stats rise.

When ingested, currently possessed random debuff released.

When ingested, all currently possessed illnesses weaken.

When body strengthening ability holder ingests, ability level up.

Feast of effects stuck densely.

Just reading the explanation took quite time.

‘Polygonum...’

By any chance to obtain in such place. Memory of clearing the quest submitting mana-bearing polygonum after meeting slime vividly remembered.

Anyway seeming I have connection with polygonum.

“Gulp.”

Before I knew it Ara beside me looking at the polygonum and drooling. Appearance tightly clenching the Tiger King’s full body armor I handed.

“How? Gift liking!”

“Too excessive.”

“Heuuu. Saying again absolutely not excessive gift. Rather regrettable unable to give more! Anyway I have to go around dungeons myself and obtain items worth giving you.”

“A, no no need to...”

Both too valuable gifts. Tremendous items degree unable to even price.

Moreover no matter how precious item if I unable to use meaning none, but these two items both ones I can use.

‘Legend grade equipment item, moreover this polygonum perhaps...’

As it was awakening quest of submitting directly cultivated elixir so have to try cultivating this polygonum once.

Of course cultivating thousand-year polygonum won’t come out thousand-year polygonum. Just polygonum will come out.

Nevertheless if succeeding cultivation using this absolute not seeming ordinary polygonum will come out. Anyway, mana-bearing thousand-year polygonum!

“Me too!”

“Want to look?”

“Yeah!”

Appearance drooling continuously looking dangerous but Ara not thoughtless kid.

Handing the wooden box Ara carefully received and shining both eyes and admiring.

“Uwaa!”

“Ara recognizes precious well.”

“Delicious smell!”

Delicious smell? Feeling refreshing and deep grass scent but not thinking delicious.

Well, if Ara says so then so.

Like that looking at the received gift and continuously only admiring then suddenly thinking too distracted and looking around.

Content.

Whether my worry unnecessary Ryu Wangjin including Ryu Cheon and Yu Bihong, the three watching me and Ara with satisfied expression.

“Reaction delicious.”

Yu Bihong who met gaze playfully saying.

Whether looked too materialistic awkwardly smiling.

“Liking so we also very mood good. By any chance no thought of staying more and going?”

“Um... Sorry have urgent business.”

“No thought of making troublesome. If worrying come play again next time.”

“A, then without refusing will come play again next time.”

Returning now able to receive the World Tree’s dew. Of course Prey and Alfheims will collect the dew on own but just in case wanting to be together at that spot too.

Anyway even at my refusal Ryu Wangjin and Ryu Cheon wearing satisfied smile. Especially Ryu Cheon half regret half joy expression, seeming sensing the time parting with Ara approaching.

“If guild master also has matter of visiting Korea next time please tell me necessarily.”

“Good!”

Continuing warm atmosphere the gift opening ended. Ryu Wangjin saying has schedule now and unable to see off the way returning to Korea sorry and standing from seat.

“See again next, Son Ohgon friend!”

“Yeah! Will see again, Ara!”

Now not even caring calling Son Ohgong wrong and parting so. And we receiving Ryu Cheon and Yu Bihong’s send-off and returning to the airport.

“When returning fine boarding our side’s private plane.”

“Thank you. Will gladly accept the favor.”

Time a bit remaining until takeoff so entering the plane and briefly chatting. I with Yu Bihong, Ara pairing with Ryu Cheon and conversing.

“Mr. Gyuseong’s items actually showing tremendous effect. And anyway seeming me and miss will visit Korea often.”

“Oh, yes?”

“Better efficiency going directly and eating than delivering items to China. Busy in its way but planned visiting Korea becoming 1st priority.”

“Seeming making busy people come and go too much?”

“No, no. No need for Mr. Gyuseong to feel sorry or burden. Rather worried if visiting too often and bothering for no reason.”

Conversing with Yu Bihong for a while suddenly Ryu Cheon butting in.

“Mr. Gyuseong.”

“Yes, Miss Ryu Cheon.”

“By any chance fine putting clothes on Ara now?”

Clothes? What clothes?

Tilting head Ara holding out the tiger pajamas, no Tiger King’s full body armor holding.

“Want to try wearing now!”

“A! That clothes meaning the clothes?”

To me feeling more legend grade item than clothes so briefly confused.

As it was curious though.

How much stronger if Ara who is already like munchkin even now wears that legend grade item?

Of course Ara and Ryu Cheon seeming more interested in appearance than the item’s effect.

“Yeah. Let’s try wearing once. Have to show to the people who gifted.”

“Ooh!”

Ara dancing and expressing joy. Then Ryu Cheon visible hesitating whether to hug Ara with trembling hands.

Putting on clothes simple. No need to change clothes separately just putting the tiger pajamas, no Tiger King’s full body armor on that fine.

Current equipment’s size size fitting adult male so Ara’s body lightly entered!

Zuuk!

And the moment Ara entering the clothes the Tiger King’s full body armor slowly reducing size then before I knew it fitted exactly.

“Wow, amazing.”

Appearance tilting head but indeed item is item. Of course more amazing things everywhere but somehow looking at size becoming small in front of eyes feeling strange.

“How!”

“Ooh, suits well! Fits much better than thought!”

Ara doing the unique pose of putting hands on waist estimate and proudly raising head. Wearing tiger pajamas and doing so unable to be cuter than this.

Click! Click!

Ryu Cheon looking at such Ara without even words just taking photos and videos in ecstasy. That appearance subtly overlapping with Seona and slightly scared.

“Suits well.”

“Looking where!”

Ara raising tiptoe to look at the mirror in the plane. Not full body mirror but mirror installed at adult upper body estimate so struggling appearance but cuteness wanting to tease for no reason.

“Eucha!”

“Ooh!”

Lifting such Ara’s torso then Ara seeming wearing cute tiger pajamas reflected. Plus appearance pressing the tiger head hood.

“Ooo! Dignified! Cool!”

“...Dignity?”

No matter looking just kid of cute tiger pajamas. But to Ara the tiger’s appearance seeming dignified and cool reflected.

“Liking!”

“Glad liking. Even to me suits too well.”

“Will wear when going out! Showing my dignity to everyone!”

The dignity Ara thinks... perhaps silencing the opponent with cuteness?

Ara escaping my grip floundering then soon sitting on the seat calmly with solemn serious expression. Subtly arrogance felt.

“I dignified.”

“Cute.”

While me and Yu Bihong looking with absurd face, only Ryu Cheon alone repeating cute words.

Like that ending Ara’s tiger pajamas commotion time to leave. Ryu Cheon and Yu Bihong waving hands and seeing us off beside the plane.

“See again aaa! Have to well aaa!”

Unable to hear yet Ara diligently chattering against the window. Greeting for a while then soon disappearing from sight Ara who became solemn serious mode again crossing arms and sitting on the seat. Even now posing not late, Ara?

“Fun?”

“Um, fun.”

“Next if time come play again.”

“Good! No, good aa.”

At the words of coming again Ara who shouted excitedly lowering voice with effort and answering. That appearance too cute wanting to rub those soft glutinous rice cake like cheeks but barely able to protect Ara’s dignity.

‘Huu, barely endured.’

* * *

As soon as returning decided to visit the guild first.

Deputy team leader Lee Haesol who came to pick up at the airport in advance visible.

“Busy yet sorry.”

“No. Just in time time free.”

Deputy team leader Lee Haesol seeming taking care of me more after the previous orphanage event, honestly unable to know the reason.

Person hard to grasp at all with sly expression and unreadable half-closed eyes yet made me look back if I did something wrong for no reason.

“How the trip? Anyway short period of 1 night 2 days seeming unable to enjoy all and come.”

“Fun. Convenience seen a lot degree sorry.”

“Glad enjoyed fun. Taking care that much in the world Machonru indeed Mr. Gyuseong amazing.”

“Haha. No. Lucky.”

Chatting warmly before I knew it arrived at the guild. Until then Ara wearing tiger pajamas and maintaining solemn serious mode quickly getting off the car.

Somehow Ara’s appearance looking urgent why doing so? thinking then soon able to know the reason.

“Hyung Kang Hanul, Jeong Soyeon Soyeon. Where.”

Seeming wanting to show own dignified appearance soon. Lee Haesol type with not big reaction so seeming not satisfied.

“Two currently outside. Team 1 leader external meeting matter, team 2 leader dungeon.”

“Huk!”

At Lee Haesol’s cold words Ara whose solemn serious mode broke astonished. Then soon shoulders drooping.

“Not there...”

“Ara, went abroad so have to go greet grandma, grandpa and Seona too.”

“Oh! Going to main house!”

“Yeah. Go and greet well returned.”

“Ooo! Good!”

Sulky Ara soon recovering energy.

Looking at that appearance Lee Haesol looking at me with expression containing admiration.

“Mr. Lee Gyuseong expert.”

“Yes?”

“Skilled at handling Ara.”

I scratching head and laughing past Lee Haesol’s words. Not that I do well but Ara not picky so easily able to cope.

Putting a bit of commotion behind and meeting guild master Han Seokjun. Guild master also diligently confirming documents but as soon as seeing me stopping work.

“Busy yet don’t know if disturbed.”

“No. Just in time all ended. How Machonru?”

“Quite fun. Many amazing things.”

Then Ara casually stepping forward and pretending nothing and showing off own appearance. And considerate guild master Han Seokjun immediately biting the bait.

“Oh, Miss Ara obtained new clothes? Suits extremely well.”

“Heheum.”

“Dignified appearance. Very cool.”

“Indeed so! Saw very well!”

I looking at Han Seokjun with surprised eyes. How able to immediately think of such comment looking at that appearance? The admiration Lee Haesol did looking at me earlier this emotion!?

“Clothes gifted from Machonru?”

“Right. Very liking gift.”

“Um, Machonru saw Miss Ara’s dignified appearance and chose proper gift. I also have to work harder.”

“Heheum! Fine. Han Seokjun always treats me well so overlooking.”

“Thank you, Miss Ara. Will treat better from now on.”

Listening to Han Seokjun and Ara’s conversation I without knowing throwing question.

“Guild master, by any chance married?”

“Yes? Yes, right.”

“A, then by any chance children too...”

“Have 1 son 1 daughter under. Shall arrange meeting together with Miss Ara next time?”

Nodding at the naturally continuing conversation. Then suddenly thinking committed rudeness and flustered the moment Han Seokjun bursting laughter.

“This, this. Until now seeming I treated too only business-like. From now on often private conversation too.”

“A, that, I, sorry something. Seeming knew nothing about guild master.”

“No. I didn’t say. Now knew so please take care from now on too.”

Looking at the flower handsome man showing gentle smile curious who took this gentleman on earth. If children also inherited Han Seokjun’s appearance all cute and pretty.

“A, guild master. Story went sideways but had something to report.”

“Yes, please speak.”

“The clothes Ara wearing now, actually legend grade equipment.”

“A! Legend grade equipment.”

The face of Han Seokjun who was answering smiling stopped as is. At that appearance as is, appearance even breathing stopped I also stopped breath together.

“...Legend grade, equipment?”

Finally moved Han Seokjun’s both eyes fluctuating like sea meeting storm.
