Chapter 30

The measuring device was in a tattered state.

On the signboard where numbers should be displayed unknown alphabets were mixed messily instead of numbers.

“What’s this?!”

Then a familiar voice came from behind.

It was hyung Yeongseong who arrived before I knew it.

“Ah, director Choi Yeongseong.”

“Suddenly excuse me, guild master. Just in time hearing the news that Gyuseong is here I was waiting a bit in the observation room...”

Hyung Yeongseong’s gaze headed to Ara.

Ara not knowing the ripple of the thing she caused now just had a refreshed expression like a person who loosened the body refreshingly.

“Director, this shouldn’t be told to the surroundings.”

“Understood. By the way is that child an awakener?”

Han Seokjun made a troubled expression and looked at me. Meeting gazes I scratched my head and said.

“My familiar.”

“...Familiar? What’s that?”

“Not a person.”

At my words hyung Yeongseong’s face as if receiving a shock was a sight.

“It’s a monster.”

* * *

Coming out of the measurement room we entered a room like a conference room again.

Ara who moved her body to her heart’s content and even used breath was neatly eating the tomatoes and carrots I packed.

“Really don’t know human affairs. To think a familiar would appear to you Gyuseong.”

“Right.”

Strictly speaking there were more than 10 familiars in the dungeon but I saved words.

“Mr. Gyuseong.”

“Yes, guild master.”

“Data was extracted by computer. The power of that breath.”

At Han Seokjun’s words I nodded with a tense expression.

“Surprisingly a number exceeding a grade 8 awakener’s ultimate technique came out. Actually just by simple numbers it’s so and even an actual grade 8 awakener seems difficult to create such results.”

“Hehehe.”

Without knowing an empty laugh came out.

Casually turning my head and looking at Ara diligently inhaling food, Ara who felt the gaze smiled brightly and looked at me.

‘...Does breath also grow?’

With the ability of gluttony Ara is continuously growing.

Even now this strong if becoming stronger than this I was living with a ridiculously strong slime.

“Of course looking at the preparation time and the immediacy of the attack separately from the power it’s a skill that monsters or awakeners of a certain level can mostly avoid.”

“I... see.”

“But if only conditions are met, that is if only it can hit probably it would be the strongest skill domestically in the Republic of Korea.”

At the words harder to believe the more heard Ara looked different anew. Well one of those famous seven deadly sins if weak it would rather be strange.

Only because of the too cute appearance and actions I temporarily couldn’t realize the fact that Ara is a seven deadly sin.

‘The seven deadly sins revealed until now also only three. Including Ara now four.’

The bosses of grade 9 dungeons that exist only 3 even throughout the world were seven deadly sins. And our Ara was equivalent to such guys.

Rather compared to such guys there was a feeling of still weak.

But if continuously growing through gluttony while eating the crops I grew?

Burst!

“Is the test over?”

Kang Hanul entered the conference room then seeing the vegetables Ara was eating his eyes turned.

“Oh! Younger brother Gyuseong’s crops! Does Ara eat things like this every day! Envious!”

“Delicious! Want to eat together?”

“Cute and even kind! Uahaha! I’ll take one bite!”

Kang Hanul seemed not particularly curious about the test results.

Well, just looking at Ara’s appearance no one would be curious.

“Gyuseong, what will you do?”

Watching Kang Hanul and Ara diligently eating I fell into thought for a moment. But whatever Ara is nothing would change.

“By any chance is there something you can advise? Honestly I’m living very satisfied even now. No big greed and just living like this seems happy.”

Farming with the slimes and conveying joy to the surroundings with the harvests. While at it taking care of the family and spending happy daily life with Ara was all of my dream.

Previously there was ambition of my own but through the hardships of the past 3 years I ultimately realized what is precious.

“Huhu.”

Han Seokjun suddenly smiled watching such my appearance. Wondering why such a reaction he opened his mouth.

“I’ve felt since last time but Mr. Gyuseong seems frugal as expected. And I feel that point very attractive.”

“Th... thank you?”

Praise right?

While I was tilting my head Han Seokjun still with a smile continued words.

“How about entering the Ara Hongryeon Guild?”

“Guild?”

“If something happens you can receive protection through the guild’s fence. Since worldly affairs are things you don’t know how they will turn out.”

“If joining the guild wouldn’t obligations or responsibilities be given? I prefer free things...”

“It’s my favor.”

“Yes?”

“Just putting the name on the guild list is fine. Obligation as an awakener like dungeon subjugation? I will absolutely not force on Mr. Gyuseong.”

So now the guild is saying they’ll give unilateral help? Without even demanding compensation?

Where is such a deal in the world?

“Th...”

“You can live just like now. Just joining the guild and living like a ghost is fine.”

“But then as a guild there would be no gain at all right?”

“Through my favor I can buy Mr. Gyuseong’s favor.”

“Yes?”

“Buying Mr. Gyuseong’s favor. For us that’s the biggest gain.”

Hyung Yeongseong who was watching the conversation beside, and Kang Hanul who was chewing little carrots together with Ara grinned.

“Don’t try to understand. The guild master is originally this kind of person.”

“Hehe! Hyung Seokjun does actions that move the heart well. The appearance is not manly at all though. Hahaha!”

Unbelievable deal content.

Han Seokjun as if understanding such me smiled and stood up from the spot.

“No need to decide right away. Refusing is also fine. Please think and tell comfortably.”

“Yes...”

“Then I’ll leave the seat first as work is piled up. Stay comfortably and go. Team leader Hanul will take charge of guiding Mr. Gyuseong.”

Han Seokjun who created gentle waves in my heart like that left the conference room.

‘Dungeon purchase is purchase but gradually space expansion items seem needed.’

To hyung Hanul I gave the surplus harvests that remained a bit and hyung Yeongseong received the fruit and vegetable juice and left.

Like that all goals of this outing ended and watching Ara eating ice cream I felt the necessity of a bag.

Crop production was ultimately a matter that would be resolved someday. But due to the location where the dungeon is transportation was ambiguous.

Ultimately I had to move directly but this time coming out together with Ara packing a lot of luggage I could realize the inconvenience.

‘Later when Jaeseong opens a restaurant, or when supplying to Ara Hongryeon Guild around then it will unconditionally be needed.’

But space expansion backpacks or items their price was tremendous. Excluding items directly related to life they belonged to the most expensive axis.

“Uh? Mr. Gyuseong?”

Immersed in thought for a long time coming out of the Ara Hongryeon building and walking in the direction where the subway station is someone’s voice calling me was heard.

“Ah! Awakener Jeong Soyeon!”

Whether having gone out briefly Jeong Soyeon walking toward the guild side was visible.

Lick- Lick-

“Uh? That child...?”

Jeong Soyeon who discovered Ara eating ice cream asked with gaze stolen.

“Uh... th, niece?”

“Wow, the niece is really cute.”

If inside the guild building I would have just answered familiar but of all things outside so I roughly made up.

Ara looked at such Jeong Soyeon then while licking her tongue and eating ice cream suddenly shouted.

“Pretty person!”

“Uh, uh? Thank you. For saying pretty.”

At the sudden words Jeong Soyeon was flustered then soon smiled bashfully. Then Ara also grinned and approached trotting.

“Do you know Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong?”

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong? Ah, I know Mr. Gyuseong.”

“Then a good person! Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong’s friends were all good!”

Not knowing why such a conclusion comes out but toward Jeong Soyeon who would feel something strange at Ara’s unique tone I tried to turn the words.

“Are you going to the guild?”

“Yes. I briefly stopped by my parents’ house and came.”

“Parents’ house?”

Jeong Soyeon’s parents’ house?

Did she go see her parents?

“Seems you rested after a long time.”

“Just briefly stopped by. Recently because busy I couldn’t go often.”

Hearing Jeong Soyeon’s words suddenly our parents came to mind. Did the younger siblings return well? Have they tried the sweet potatoes by now?

“The hat is really pretty. The clothes are cute too.”

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong bought it! Ah! This is ice cream! This too Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong bought! If you want to eat I can yield one bite!”

While thinking of parents and briefly looking aside the two’s conversation started again. But Jeong Soyeon’s eyes were somehow strange.

As if seeing Seona’s eyes who discovered Ara...

‘A feeling of barely enduring wanting to hug.’

Jeong Soyeon completely squatted in place and matched gazes with Ara and started chatting.

The conversation scene of the two cute and pretty people created an atmosphere that becomes heartwarming just by watching.

“Ah! Sorry, Mr. Gyuseong. Ara was too cute so I talked too mindlessly.”

“No. It’s fine. Ara seems to like it too.”

“Did Mr. Gyuseong have business at our guild?”

Casually the gaze heading toward my backpack was as if examining if there were remaining vegetables or fruits. Just in time because there was a bit remaining that I packed to feed Ara while moving I took off the bag and took out one roasted sweet potato.

“No that...”

Whether embarrassed that the gaze was caught Jeong Soyeon slightly reddened her face and lowered her eyes. Still seeing she doesn’t refuse it seemed my expectation was right.

“These are sweet potatoes newly harvested this time. Please try eating once.”

“Ah... thank you.”

Seeming embarrassed yet an expression full of expectation. Ara who was eating ice cream also blankly looked at the sweet potato. How concentrated she was she didn’t even notice the ice cream melting and flowing on the hand.

“Shall I give Ara one too?”

“Yeah!”

Wiping the ice cream stuck on Ara’s hand I took out one more sweet potato. Actually I also wanted to eat but because only one sweet potato remained now I endured forcibly.

...There are still some left in the dungeon so endure.

“Mattang! Mattang!”

Ara who sang calling it mattang looking at the roasted sweet potato soon bit with the skin. Jeong Soyeon was in a state of holding it in hand whether trying to take the roasted sweet potato and eat, and seeing Ara’s appearance of eating swallowing saliva was visible.

In the bitten mark the golden appearance was revealed.

And the scent of the roasted sweet potato that still hadn’t disappeared subtly spread to the surroundings.

“Uuuuum!”

Ara held her cheeks and made a happy expression.

Then Jeong Soyeon ultimately unable to endure stealthily peeled the sweet potato’s skin.

“Aa!”

Looking at the shining sweet potato she was slightly flustered then soon as if trying to hide the light hurriedly put the sweet potato in her mouth.

And.

“Um?!”

Jeong Soyeon whose two eyes opened wide blankly looked at me with an expression of not believing the fact that what she ate was sweet potato.

“Delicious right?”

Regrettable that I couldn’t bring it because I ate all the sweet potato mattang!
