Chapter 169

The ability Gluttony’s oyster possessing underwater breathing.

Thanks to that as soon as next day becoming me starting to collect seafoods in shallow coast together with Ara.

‘Many.’

Even in shallow place coming out this many how diverse and many resources hiding in that deep inside.

Collecting this and that randomly excited for a while Bokkeum bokkeum bokkeum.

“Huk!”

“Why, Ara? What saying?”

“Too many.”

Coming to senses before I knew it seafoods piled abundantly visible. Fine packing this degree?

“Fish!”

“A, if thinking even fish may tight.”

Always packing luggage too many so margin not more than thought. If catching only one fish no relation but since came have to catch several.

Ultimately seafood collecting up to here and casting fishing rod again following yesterday.

And this time also Ara’s fishing rod bending first without fail. Anyway seeming fishing luck following Ara.

“Eungcha!”

But this time not wrestling like yesterday and soon reeling up.

Mackerel only my forearm size.

Back blue color so calling mackerel but shape a bit different. Seeming more fins?

‘Uh, then this fish red flesh fish?’

Giant gizzard shad eaten yesterday white flesh fish.

But this guy seeming red flesh fish at a glance. White flesh white flesh way, red flesh red flesh way taste different so expecting.

“Oh, this time my turn!”

Fishing line tightly pulled.

Bite coming while preparing Ara’s gear!

Me carefully doing fishing rod to show cool appearance to Ara...

Chwak!

“Eh?”

Fishing line dragged too easily unlike fully tensed. Certain something heavy caught but dragged so easily?

Soon reeling line and identity of caught revealing.

“What, this.”

Giant crayfish.

Possessing light purple shell but size almost slime size. Roughly half armful degree.

Story of body diameter so length even larger. Large crayfish slightly over Ara’s height.

‘Crayfish? Shrimp? What call this?’

Middle of crayfish and shrimp? Pincer existing but only one.

Anyway unlike fish not particularly resisting and coming up to land. Guy flapping hard only after coming out whether coming to senses.

Tak!

And again Ara’s knuckle stepping forward.

Knuckle properly hitting and effectively fainting crayfish.

“Uwaa.”

Lifting the fainted crayfish size much more realized. Weight also considerable seeming unable to lift alone if me not awakener.

“For now sealing pincer...”

Tying not to unfold pincer.

Pincer’s size also terrifying probably if caught not seeing good appearance.

Like that packing one more loot Ara pulling fishing rod again. This time seeming guy using quite strength like gizzard shad caught yesterday.

If caught on my fishing rod me rather dragged?

Ara no less grade 4, no about now surpassing even grade 5 physical type awakener’s physical ability degree strong.

Looking at such Ara carefully using strength certainly amazing fish. Of course separate from strong strength fishing rod may break so careful large.

About 10 minutes struggle.

And Ara this time also doing coolly.

“Wow, this time what again?”

Different from yesterday caught, but giant fish similar in that bulk or size caught.

But shape quite bizarre exactly ugly shape mixed monkfish and flounder.

“Hehe.”

But rather more expecting because so.

Ugly fish delicious already proven on Earth. This guy also looking delicious at a glance!

After that Ara and me each catching one more fish and organizing luggage.

Giant crayfish 1.

Monkfish flounder 1.

Long fish looking like hairtail 1.

And giant sea bream 1.

Producing total 4 results and laughing joyfully packing.

“Delicious!”

“Eat together with family. Share with kids too.”

“Yeah!”

Suo also drooling before I knew it.

Amount little but Suo knowing what delicious before I knew it.

‘Seona liking.’

Seona unable to control if cute seeing Suo another commotion. Probably carrying camera all day saying filming daily life Ara and Suo living for a while.

Confirming minimap Mamon in goblin village. Regrettable if able to register Seona as minimap icon too.

“Shall return?”

“Going! Loot!”

-Kkyuit!

Ara pointing the direction slime village existing and shouting exactly like triumphant general victorious in war.

Suo looking at such Ara not knowing what but following for now.

Anyway these cute guys.

Brief trip but many things to do if returning. For now go out and confirm if no missed contacts in the meantime, later have to clearly grasp Suo’s ability.

By any chance not thinking thousand year polygonum becoming spirit like this and becoming familiar so may have to worry other method to resolve Prey’s curse.

But by any chance...

[Lee Suo (five elements spirit)]

Ability: Five elements circulation, vitality charge, spirit’s blessing

Among those abilities answer may exist so still early to conclude. Right now not brought incomplete elixir so unable to test ability.

‘Vitality charge roughly knowing what but the remaining two curious.’

Probably among those two clue to resolve Prey’s curse?

* * *

About 10 hours since running riding Meong meong.

Finally we able to return.

Sound sleep-.

Ara and Suo hanging dangling in my arms and sleeping. Even taking rest in the middle seeming much bored.

“Kids, arrived.”

“Uum...”

-Kkyuit!

Slimes getting off first and receiving kids’ welcome. Exactly shape of reporting diligently managed field while absent.

“Mark Two, hard.”

Kkumuri!

Resultantly no reason at all to take Mark Two but thanks to that played fun and came.

Next time have to take Dokdoki together too.

About now diligently managing Meluca flowers.

For now roughly organizing luggage and thinking of finding Seona. Like that organizing luggage one side something busily moving.

-Kkyuing.

-Heheng.

Suo surrounded by slimes and kkumuri and interrogated. And in the center Gomgomi.

-Krung.

Gomgomi fully tense at unfamiliar Suo’s appearance.

And soon spreading both arms and threatening.

-Krwang.

-Kkyuing?

But Suo looking at such Gomgomi tilting then soon curiosity arising and rather approaching and poking.

-K, krang?

-Kkyuing.

Gomgomi flustered then soon lowering both arms.

Then hugging Suo.

Th, that by any chance...

Preliminary action for suplex?!

Amazing scenery of lifting waist and slamming back... not unfolded.

-Sniff sniff. Krung.

-Kkyuing.

Just simple hug.

Before I knew it communion to that degree?

Soon the two starting to roam the village with arms around shoulders exactly like long known.

Gomgomi starting village introduction.

And Ara blankly watching that scenery with still sleepy eyes muttering.

“Gomgomi became older brother.”

“...”

Kids’ world hard to understand.

Anyway seeming well living fortunate.

Looking at Gol gol not here seeming went to Seona. Me wearing sorry expression to Meong meong who came long way and requesting one more.

“Meong meong, fine bringing Seona a bit?”

-Wal!

Meong meong shaking tail as if no problem and quickly running. Indeed high species monster stamina tremendous.

While Meong meong going to pick Seona finishing remaining luggage organization and confirming meju scattered all over the village.

‘This almost all fermented not?’

Expressed almost all but probably completed. Have to bring mother and cross verify once.

For now leaving and checking the jar and charcoal prepared in one side in advance. Already heart pounding thinking of making doenjang and soy sauce!

-Wal!

-Hihing.

Meong meong and Gol gol sending signal of arrived. Stopping examining jar and coming out Ara hugged by Seona.

“Our Ara went well?”

“Yeah! Fun! Caught many fish and caught many clams! Brought Suo too!”

“Yes? Fun. But what Suo?”

Then Suo appearing waddling led by Gomgomi’s feet exactly like called.

Plump body, cute appearance matching the word spirit.

-Kkyuing.

And unique cry too.

As expected Seona going out of mind as is.

“Yo, yo, yo, you who?”

-Kkyuing?

-Krung!

Gomgomi dragging Suo to Seona exactly like greeting. Then Suo tilting and looking up at Seona then circling around Seona.

-Kkyuing, kkyuing, kkyuing.

-Heheng.

Before I knew it one kkumuri following such Suo and circling. Thanks to that Seona’s eyes also circling.

“New family. Name Lee Suo.”

“Le, Lee Suo?”

Ultimately Seona unable to endure and grabbing the playful medicinal herb root circling around self.

-Kkyuit.

Suo making sound exactly like doll when caught.

And looking at Seona with bright eyes tightly.

-Kkyuit!

“Why only cute kids gathering around oppa. Saved country in previous life?”

“Probably so.”

Soon formally introducing Suo.

Story of thousand year polygonum planted last time evolving and becoming spirit, and story of making such spirit Suo familiar.

Seona listening to the story opening mouth with absurd expression then soon immersing in Suo and touching here and there.

-Kkyuit.

Every time Suo crying exactly like sound making doll.

“Suo my younger sibling!”

“Nice having cute younger sibling, our Ara.”

“Yeah!”

Seona naturally continuing conversation unlike flustered me. Indeed skill different.

“No particular during one day?”

“Uh. Just ordinary.”

“Still hard. Now rest comfortably.”

“Me? Resting?”

Seona tightly hugging Suo and Ara, and Gomgomi. Me nodding at the appearance full of greed.

Resting better than anyone.

“Look at kids a bit. Me briefly go out and come.”

“Where going?”

“Just intending to confirm if no contact from somewhere.”

Then Ara standing up abruptly.

“Me also going!”

“Yes? Ara also breathe outside air after a long time?”

Deciding to go out with Ara and leaving kids to Seona. Have to feed the brought seafoods a bit when returning.

Like that going up to infinite dungeon empty dungeon interior visible. No, one slime kkumuri.

Kkumuri?

Slime summoned one every day.

Me deciding to take the guy together when returning and greeting the recruit.

“Hello?”

Kkumuri!

Indeed recruit! Spirit entered!

Ara also stroking slime once and coming out.

Movement time too long so outside also evening before I knew it.

Originally time to sleep but have to confirm if no missed contacts first then sleep.

“Um!?”

Then Ara’s ears suddenly perking and looking around. Then subtle light circling in eyes.

“Ara?”

“Found!”

What found?

That moment Ara moving with a whir and snatching something in the air.

Kwadang!

“Kreuk!”

“Eh?”

What thought air person.

And Ara subduing the person self caught and shouting to me.

“Tag! Caught!”
