Chapter 99

“Came soon.”

Waiting a bit outside the dungeon father and Seona came.

But somehow father’s appearance unusual.

“Father?”

“Um?”

“Why packed fishing equipment?”

“While at it.”

Every time visiting enjoying fishing and going, in my view the side called while at it rather the mine seeming.

“But father, heard the explanation why Seona called?”

“Yeah. Heard. For now go and see.”

“A, by any chance can confirm first taking Ara and going with Seona three?”

“Understood.”

Father bluntly nodded then held the fishing bag and headed to the dungeon.

“Why us first go? Oppa?”

“Someone knowing decided to come. Not expert this side but quite amazing hyung.”

“Amazing hyung?”

“Ara Hongryeon research department head.”

“Eeng?!”

Seona with much knowledge of awakener side well knew the meaning the position of Ara Hongryeon research department head possesses.

Widened face ridiculous, younger sister.

“I such amazing person. Know? Usually do well a bit.”

“What saying.”

Diligently composing expression and holding Ara and leading. But from that back appearance expectation of meeting Ara Hongryeon research department head visible.

Taking the three and entering together up to Gluttony’s dungeon.

Soon me alone returning again Ara shouted.

“See later! Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong!”

“Eeng.”

Looking at Ara waving hands held in Seona’s arms came out again. Hyung Yeongseong also coming soon so have to go out to greet in advance.

Trudge trudge-

While descending felt suddenly curious how much the price of this mountain. Completely buying the mountain with my dungeon and making private land...

‘Have to find out the price once. Probably not for sale but...’

The original dungeon’s owner the owner of this mountain right.

Separately contacting also not bad seeming.

Thinking this and that and coming down the mountain and waiting for hyung Yeongseong not long arrived. But beside him sister-in-law also together.

“A, sister-in-law also came.”

“Long time, Mr. Gyuseong.”

Lowering head greeting the gladly greeting sister-in-law Siyoung and examining hyung Yeongseong taking something out from the trunk struggling.

“What, hyung?”

“Said you discovered a mine seeming so brought some equipment.”

“A, if such would have brought Bokkeum...”

No but no space expansion artifact? Why carrying that whole a person with much money.

“That no. This equipment a bit sensitive so have to carry directly like this.”

“A.”

I don’t know well so if hyung Yeongseong says so such right. By the way didn’t know sister-in-law also coming Seona’s surprised appearance vivid.

“That what. Heard from guild master quite many requests to you?”

“Not many just as usual. As it was intending to ask advice from hyung related to that too.”

“Yes? For now enter.”

Sister-in-law watching playfully beside ultimately lifted the equipment. Compared to hyung struggling the appearance of lifting lightly indeed grade 8 awakener.

“Long time!”

“Come play occasionally.”

“Still fine? You also heard? Can come play occasionally said.”

“Courtesy words, honey.”

“Eeng? Courtesy words?”

Still well matching couple.

Listening to the two’s bickering soon entered inside the dungeon. Taking the couple greeting the slimes once each as is headed to Gluttony.

“...Unadaptable scenery.”

“Haa, already healing.”

Long time visit both stopped for a moment and enjoyed the air. Then far away something diligently running visible.

“Uh, uh?”

“Flame wolf!”

“A, those guys also my familiars.”

“What?!”

Leaving the surprised two behind stroked the mane of the run Meong meong madly. Then Gol gol who was hiding body in the air suddenly popped out.

“Yeah, yeah.”

“...Even ghost horse?”

“Definitely seduced with food.”

Didn’t particularly resolve the two’s misunderstanding. And half right words too. These guys extremely like my crops.

‘Meong meong ended up semi-forced vegetarian though.’

Anyway put the two on Gol gol and I rode on Meong meong’s back. Then immediately started running toward the side where the mine is.

“Yaho!”

“Uueo.”

Sceneries quickly passing.

Sister-in-law seeming properly enjoying and hyung Yeongseong holding Gol gol and barely enduring.

Because ran quite fast we could arrive at the rock mountain where the mine discovered not even 1 hour. Thanks to that hyung Yeongseong seeming exhausted though.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong came!”

Arriving the party waiting for us there. Ara gladly waving hands then soon discovering hyung Yeongseong and making a mischievous smile.

“Hehe. Came?”

“A, Ara. Long time? Ha, haha.”

Unlike hyung Yeongseong awkwardly greeting sister-in-law quickly ran and hugged Ara. Then greeted our father and Seona.

“Hello? Meeting Mr. Gyuseong’s father and younger sister like this really glad! I am Kim Siyoung.”

“Ki, Kim Siyoung? Don’t tell me empress Kim Siyoung?!”

Seona’s jaw opening as if falling.

And father who heard Seona’s words also eyes widening and unable to receive greeting.

“Kim Siyoung? That Kim Siyoung who appeared on TV?”

Anyway sister-in-law a famous awakener to the extent rare people not knowing so father seeming knowing.

“Right, father. Here former Ara Hongryeon research department head Choi Yeongseong, and wife Kim Siyoung sister-in-law.”

“A, a, hello.”

Seona lowering waist bowing yet half raising head and looking at me. Exactly an unfair expression as if why not saying in advance.

I also didn’t know sister-in-law coming.

“...Nice to meet, Lee Hyeonu the father of Gyuseong.”

“Choi Yeongseong. Received much favor from the son.”

“Favor?”

“A, our wife body hurt but the son treated.”

Hyung Yeongseong even while saying looked at me with a face of ‘by any chance not said?’. Of course I not going around saying what I did so just shrugged shoulders.

“Really excellent son! I no less suffered 10 years and today tomorrow but now like this...”

Sister-in-law holding Ara and spinning round and round. Ara just quietly entrusting body.

“Became fine!”

“Our oppa did such admirable matter? Recently heard the news of recovering but that thanks to our oppa...”

At Seona’s surprised question I did one cough.

“Kr hmm. Now know, younger sister. This older brother’s greatness.”

“...”

Tried to say in joke style but Seona face shock not fading. And as if driving a wedge into that shock sister-in-law added words.

“Not only me but a while ago Iron Blood Guild’s awakener Baek Seunghyeon also treated. Really amazing, Mr. Gyuseong.”

“Ir, Iron Blood...”

Seona still unbelievable face but soon father who was quietly listening to the story patted my shoulder.

“Did well.”

“Yes.”

Mere one word but somehow mood strange.

Actually recently busily active yet never particularly felt myself amazing but when father said somehow realized.

‘I, doing well.’

Recognition of not others but father evoked some strange sentiment. An emotion never felt even when those amazing awakeners praised me or expressed thanks.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong amazing! Helping many good people!”

“Yeah, right. Indeed our Ara knows best about dad? Mr. Gyuseong fortunate. Having such cute daughter.”

“Dad? Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong? Dad!”

Ara smiling hehe and spreading both arms to me visible. I naturally approached and received Ara from sister-in-law.

“From now let’s help many people, Ara.”

“Yeah.”

Stroked Ara’s head once and recalled the purpose of coming here. Too many homework to be immersed in sentiment.

That very important homework lives of precious people hang.

“Here the place estimated as that mine. Seona, showed father first?”

“Uh.”

At my words hyung Yeongseong took out the device sister-in-law brought and immediately confirmed something. Then making a strange expression said to me.

“This a bit peculiar.”

“What?”

“This equipment an item able to confirm minerals located around. Exactly component display appears. I mostly looking at that component display can immediately grasp what mineral, this first seeing indicator.”

Amazing elite hyung Yeongseong also first seeing amazing. Well here a place unidentified plants or monsters continuously discovered so natural.

“Then the mineral discovered here might be first discovery?”

“High probability so.”

“A, as it was packed one debris seeming jewel raw stone. This.”

I handed the small debris Dokdok and Prey took out. The raw stone shining with still mysterious color sufficiently beautiful even without processing.

“Ooh.”

Sister-in-law watching beside flowed admiration, father first seeing also looking at the raw stone with a curious expression.

“Um, certainly a mineral never seen until now. Such color and characteristic.”

“This, faint but mana felt?”

Sister-in-law casually stretched hand and snatched the raw stone then said.

“Mana?”

“Yeah. Honey, mana detection item also not?”

“E, exists. Wait a moment!”

Suddenly hyung Yeongseong seeming excited searched the box containing equipment. Wondering if such amazing matter and tilting head Seona muttered with a speechless voice.

“World... mineral containing mana? Such thing exists?”

“Why? That so surprising matter?”

“Of course!!”

Aigo, startled. Why shouting.

For me mineral containing mana degree seeming possible.

No, in the situation items coming out from dungeon mineral with mana flowing possible not?

“...Until now cases of mineral containing mana only magic stones. But this clearly different nature from magic stone. Of course might be a kind of magic stone but have to confirm that.”

Listening to hyung Yeongseong’s additional explanation I scratched head. At such my action Seona spoke gently.

“If that not magic stone yet mana flowing tremendous discovery. Think of making awakeners’ equipment with that mineral!”

“Uh? Those words then sound of can make items with that?”

“A bit different. Even if making something with that no item characteristics or effects. Instead awakener directly using the mana contained in the mineral can greatly improve defense ability?”

...Found something much more amazing than my thought?

Like that briefly hyung Yeongseong confirming the raw stone I gave then soon sighed.

“For now not magic stone certain seeming. More detailed nature hard to grasp here. Have to take to the laboratory.”

“Oh, positive talk right?”

“Yeah. As your younger sister just said if only can make this into awakeners’ protection equipment can boast tremendous defense power. Have to confirm but almost certain.”

“Ooh!”

Wow, really this jackpot?

A feeling of the burden about the dungeon of stinginess a bit subsiding. The problem how much that raw stone buried the key.

“Hoo, never thought discovering such. This an item that will cause fuss in the industry or academic society.”

“Said many others inside too curious how much the buried amount of that raw stone.”

“...What?”

“Yes? No, curious how much that raw stone.”

“No, before that.”

“Many others too...”

Suddenly the atmosphere chilly.

Why? What? Why so?

“This not the end?”

“Yes? Yes.”

“Crazy. Here really crazy place.”

“Why, why?”

“Usually the fact such item discovered clearly related to the mana flowing in this mine. But other minerals too? High possibility not ordinary like this raw stone words.”

No then really...

Discovered a bonanza?!
