Chapter 55

“I since you said pack swimsuit just thought would swim. And lake visible so because of that...”

Hyung Yeongseong spat machine gun with a fully excited appearance. As it was knowing he likes hot springs so inwardly expecting.

But seeing liking much more than my expectation the thought of bringing well came.

From the place installed tent near the lake roughly 15 minutes.

We finally could arrive at the huge basin where steam rose thickly.

“No, this wide?”

Whether surprised at a much more huge scale than expected hyung Yeongseong shouted like a scream and ran.

“Hyung, go together!”

I held the slimes in arms and ran along.

Around steam continuously rose but not to the extent hindering sight so not uncomfortable.

“Wow, just nature as is. If decorating well jackpot.”

Toward hyung Yeongseong saying so I grinned.

“Hyung, here the terrain containing hot spring water several places right?”

“Yeah. Right.”

“Hyung not awakener so won’t see, know explanation window of the terrain here appears?”

“What?!”

Hyung Yeongseong who was touching the hot spring water was startled and turned to me and shouted.

“Is that true?”

“I’ll read from the hot spring hyung is touching.”

I put down the slimes and approached the hot spring closely and read the explanation window.

[Hot spring of mind and body stability]

Tension relaxes and body’s fatigue releases.

Stress effectively resolves.

During bathing immune state to mental debuffs.

No specific numbers but certain effects written. Moreover not big help but debuff immunity effect also attached.

“...Roughly such effects.”

“In high grade dungeons occasionally hear there are structures or terrains giving buffs but never thought I’d actually see! What on earth is this place?”

Hmm, the fact here is the seven deadly sins’ dungeon hide as much as possible.

Whether curiosity activated fitting research director hyung Yeongseong immersed in thought I urged.

“Hyung, for now enter the hot spring? Ah! Or shall we see other hot springs’ effects too?”

“...What sound? Now your words not uniformly same hot spring but all here have each different efficacy?”

“Yes.”

“Ha! Hahaha!”

Whether dumbfounded hyung Yeongseong who burst into big laughter soon shouted with gleaming eyes.

“Let’s look around all!”

“Do so.”

Soon wandered the wide hot spring area and examined each efficacy. Could examine ones passed last time too, overlapping effects and many amazing too.

[Hot spring of mind and body stability]

[Hot spring of skin beauty]

[Hot spring of vitality]

[Hot spring of disease immunity]

[Hot spring of mana recovery]

Hot springs were many but roughly divided into five kinds.

And every time saying efficacy hyung Yeongseong spouted admiration and touched water and even drank.

“...What taste?”

“Umm, water taste?”

We among several hot springs entered the hot spring of mind and body stability first. The water temperature was slightly hot degree, soaking the body fully soon a languid energy spread.

“Kuu.”

“Huh.”

No separate paradise on earth.

If there is a utopia where immortals play around here.

Thick steams created their own charm and entrusting the body to the hot spring and tilting the head back looking at the sky stars seemed to pour.

“Here one drink of alcohol just! Then...”

Hyung Yeongseong made the gesture of breaking alcohol and made a happy expression.

Saying alcohol suddenly I also became interested.

‘Not that liking alcohol but...’

Ultimately the raw material making alcohol is grain.

If making alcohol with materials of crops I made what taste would it be? Even me not liking alcohol curiosity arose to the extent.

‘Later if leeway try once.’

Alcohol unlike other cooking seemed to require much time. Roughly knew, probably the method of fermenting grain and distilling that.

Later investigate and study a bit more. Many kinds of alcohol so wine or distilled liquor etc many things can try.

“Hyung, later if time shall we try making alcohol once too?”

“Oh? Ooh? That’s a good thought! Wow, the alcohol you make will become an item again? Curious about effect and taste too?”

Hyung Yeongseong who came out of the water saying cool the body a bit soon spread the wings of imagination alone.

“Sweet potato and rice soju, rice nuruk makgeolli, barley whiskey, corn bourbon whiskey, grape wine...”

“Oh, know a bit?”

“Of course! Gyuseong, rather since became like this want to leave making alcohol to me?”

“Oh, good. As it was thought time and body insufficient, if hyung does instead for me thankful.”

Cooking Jaeseong, and alcohol hyung Yeongseong.

I just fully focus on crop cultivation.

At the feeling of progressing step by step the mood improved.

“Fixed Siyoung’s poison too, time many so study properly and challenge once.”

“Yep.”

We with towels on heads watching the slimes floating on the hot spring united.

In the meantime somewhere presence was felt.

“Oh, Siyoung came.”

“Here!”

When I waved my hand sister-in-law and Ara were visible. But not only those two.

“Eeng? What is that?”

“Brought.”

Beside Ara the star bear following waddling was visible. And Prey was sitting on that.

-Great Lord! We came! Ohohohot!

“Became close in the meantime? Said war?”

-Huhut! We the winners of war decided to forgive the star bear generously. Me sitting on the head is the winner’s right!

Hyung Yeongseong seeing the star bear and Prey for the first time again came out of the hot spring and approached with an expression curiosity as a researcher activated.

“Wow, such a place? How did Mr. Gyuseong find out such places?”

“Luck was good.”

Ara ran trotting and spread arms to me.

At the appearance of acting spoiled asking to hug quickly holding Ara was startled.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Wet!”

“Because entered the hot spring.”

“I enter too!”

Putting Ara down again including Mark Two the slimes slightly dipped feet in the hot spring floating.

‘Not hot?’

Suddenly such thought but excessive worry.

Ara soon like in the lake jumped into the hot spring with a plop! and floated like the slimes.

“Warm~.”

Seeing the grinning loosened expression quite to liking. Unlike my worry thinking might be hot seemed appropriate.

-Krung?

The star bear who was following Ara closely tilted head and looked at the water.

Slightly dipped one foot then soon slowly entered.

-Kang?

Click! Click!

Sister-in-law orderly triggered the flash and took the star bear and Ara.

“Honey also enter quickly. Water good.”

“Yes, wait a moment.”

Sister-in-law who was carefully examining the photos also soon put Prey on the shoulder and approached. Then both eyes widened and turned to me.

“Mr. Gyuseong! This...”

“Jackpot right? Seems perfect for recuperation.”

“No. Never thought the hot spring would have effect.”

Sister-in-law entered the hot spring and went beside hyung Yeongseong. Hyung Yeongseong asked with eyes full of expectation.

“How? Good? Wow, such a place in the dungeon really jackpot not?”

“Haa. Let me rest a bit. Don’t talk.”

“...Ung.”

Peaceful time flowed.

Relatively only hyung Yeongseong went in and out of the hot spring the rest as is soaked bodies and spent each time.

The appearance of Ara floating together with the slimes.

The star bear whether mood good closed eyes and stayed quietly held in sister-in-law’s arms.

Sister-in-law like me a little while ago tilted head back and was looking at the sky.

Before I knew it Prey who approached me lay on my shoulder and hummed.

-Heung~ Heuheung~♪

Prey’s dreamy voice rang sweetly, but lowly to the extent not hindering contemplation.

Sings better than expected.

Like that spending time for a while hyung Yeongseong and sister-in-law went to confirm other hot springs too.

I remaining in the seat kneaded Ara and the slimes and enjoyed the hot spring more.

“Refreshing a, a, a, a, a.”

When I patted the back Ara dragged words long and found fun. Soon kneading the shoulder grinned and said.

“Good. Paradise.”

“Paradise? Where learned such words again.”

“Choi Yeongseong said.”

At Ara’s reaction laughter came out I kneaded the remaining guys hard too.

“You guys suffer a lot. Of course for you farm work is playing.”

Playing is also hard, yes.

Kneading the slimes suffering playing Ara kneaded my shoulder.

Eeh, Ara. Hurts...?

But couldn’t show and smiled awkwardly.

“Our Ara kneads shoulder all. Thank you?”

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong’s tone like old man.”

“...”

Is that for you to say.

* * *

Finished the hot spring and returned and did barbecue.

Grilled the meats the hyung Yeongseong couple bought in advance and grilled the vegetables I harvested together and did a grand meal.

We who filled the stomach firmly sat on chairs for a moment looking at the bonfire and exchanged stories then returned to the tent and slept.

Like that finishing the satisfactory camping we last set the alarm and got up and sightseed the appearance of the World Tree visible far away.

Hwaaak!

Previously too close didn’t know but not shining at once but the feeling of gradually dyeing with light.

Looking at the huge tree changing color like domino unknown emotion surged.

“...”

Looking at the gorgeous yet beautiful World Tree’s appearance the hyung Yeongseong couple silently quietly showed tears.

But through the two hands holding each other seemed able to understand the emotion the two would be feeling to some extent.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong.”

Ara whispered to me as if not wanting to hinder appreciation.

“Why?”

“Why are Choi Yeongseong and Kim Siyoung crying?”

“Hard until now but seeing that appearance received comfort. Emotions welled up.”

“Then okay?”

“Yeah. Okay. Our Ara thinking of other people too good.”

Ara whispering felt too cute.

Like that our 3rd Gluttony’s dungeon visit successfully ended.

* * *

Kang Hanul recently mood was good.

Because the matter he so longed for was achieved. Exactly Lee Gyuseong’s Ara Hongryeon Guild joining.

That’s why even the overseas business trip he disliked could depart with a willingly smiling appearance.

“Hello, Hanul nim.”

“Ooh, long time?”

Some airport in Japan.

A meeting with some awakener guild in Japan linked due to business was set.

Ara Hongryeon had collaboration not only with Japan but with prominent overseas guilds. Because guild master Han Seokjun was visiting China he came to Japan.

“Shall we eat first?”

“Good!”

Kang Hanul disliked overseas schedules, but the only thing he liked in the schedule was exactly enjoying that country’s food.

Moreover overseas guild side also doesn’t take guests anywhere so restaurants chosen with maximum sincerity fitting gourmet.

“This time discovered a very good store.”

“Oh? Yeah?”

“Crops developed with a new farming method, that taste amazing.”

“...Crops?”

The expression of Kang Hanul who fully expected stiffened.

But the Japanese side awakener rather mistook that appearance as expecting and opened his mouth.

“Korea also has its own food culture but in the aspect of raw material quality can’t catch up to Japan I assure. Moreover this time even more outstanding...”

“Hey, Nakamura.”

Kang Hanul cut the words.

Only then the Japanese awakener who grasped the atmosphere became a closed mouth and waited for Kang Hanul’s words.

“Other people will come to the restaurant too right?”

“Yes, yep! Probably arrived.”

“Let’s go quickly. I have to press the nose flat.”

Kang Hanul recalled something put in his luggage and smiled wickedly. But the Japanese awakener mistook that as because he made a slip of the tongue and blamed himself inside.

A while later arriving at the restaurant Kang Hanul could meet the Japanese guild side representative collaborating.

‘Still!’

Grade 8 awakener Ino Junichi.

An awakener ranked overall 4th in Japan with considerable influence.

Junichi who discovered Kang Hanul raised his huge body and welcomed gladly.

“Kang Hanul! My old friend!”

“Uahaha! Junichi, were you well?”

Already exchanging for over 10 years and the two matched well so relationship good.

Soon Kang Hanul sat in the seat Junichi grinned.

“Hanul! This time thinking of surprising you a lot.”

“Hm?”

“This restaurant, never came until now right? Actually I made it.”

“So that confident?”

“Hahaha! Yeah, right. Money and time overflowing so made the end of inefficiency. Know how much it costs to make the meal materials used here? If hearing surprised?”

Even at Junichi’s confident words Kang Hanul didn’t waver. Rather consistent with a smile that became thicker.

“Looking forward, Junichi.”

“Hehe. Then shall we eat right away?”

Foods were served.

Soon the related people who were together were busy bursting into admiration eating the cooking.

“No, this!”

“This taste on earth...”

“Huh, is this the taste mere lotus root can make?”

Junichi contentedly watched that appearance then examined the reaction of Kang Hanul the person most expecting.

The two pursuing gourmet were the same as rivals regarding food and cooking, such Junichi wanting to surprise the rival.

“Delicious.”

“...Is that all? No need to hold the reaction deliberately, Hanul.”

Even at Junichi’s words Kang Hanul maintained composure and ate all the remaining dishes. Every time Junichi stiffened with an expression of not understanding.

“Why stubborn that much, Hanul. Still always honest about food’s taste right.”

“Hm? I clearly said delicious?”

“No, that’s natural! But your reaction felt just so. As if ate something more delicious than that...”

Junichi who was speaking glared at Kang Hanul with a don’t tell me expression. Then Kang Hanul took out something from the luggage brought.

“Hehehe. Junichi, try eating this once.”

“What is this?”

What Kang Hanul took out was a strangely colored cherry tomato. Junichi who picked up one colorful tomato and examined asked again.

“This don’t tell me tomato?”

“Right. Try eating once.”

At Kang Hanul’s confident expression Junichi inwardly tensed. But on the other hand thinking mere cherry tomato? and ignored.

‘Tomato delicious at most...’

Like that the moment putting in the mouth and chewing.

“?!?!?!?!”

Junichi’s eyes flashed open and the spirit flew far to the universe.

But as if must know only one fact shouted.

“This tomato! On earth where did you obtain!!!”
