I put the information windows aside for a moment.

There was a lot I wanted to check, but the first thing I had to do was talk to the Holder who had fought on my behalf.

After hunting the giant wolf.

A woman standing still with a short sword in her hand.

I cautiously spoke to her.

“Excuse me…”

“Wait.”

Before I could say anything, she cut me off with a short reply.

“Please wait a moment.”

With that polite remark…

She ran forward.

And then I understood why she had asked me to ‘wait a moment’.

Awooo-?!

Awooo, awooo-!!

The Gray Wolves, still caught in the [Power Break], unable to escape.

They were almost dead, but if left alone, they could pose a threat at any time.

She thoroughly eliminated all potential threats.

It was easy for a Holder as skilled as her, who could assassinate a giant wolf in 10 seconds, to deal with injured monsters.

She began hunting methodically, climbing up the rocky mountain…

Only after she had killed all the monsters did she return.

Now it was safe enough even if we didn’t exit the dungeon.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

And then she stood in front of us and spoke.

White uniform and white hair down to her waist.

A cold atmosphere as if covered in snow.

Beautiful looks blooming like a flower within it.

When I saw her appearance directly.

Only then could I understand the whole situation.

“Holder Yoo Eun-seol….”

“You know me.”

Of course.

Who wouldn’t know?

The only S-grade assassin Holder in Korea, Yoo Eun-seol.

She was a character who was quite prominently featured in the original work, and after coming to this world, she was so famous that I had seen her face several times in articles and newspapers.

A woman who has reached the pinnacle of assassins.

A Holder who has reached the top alone without a clan.

If a Holder active in Korea didn’t know her, they would be no different from a spy.

“Wow, wow… It’s Holder Yoo Eun-seol….”

Kim Chae-eun, admiring from behind me.

Just looking at her reaction, you can tell.

Yoo Eun-seol responded to our admiration without any change in expression.

“You don’t seem to have any external injuries… Do you have any internal injuries from the wolves’ attack? Feel free to tell me if you need potions.”

I don’t know why she appeared here.

I don’t know how she saved us…

What’s important is that the battle is over and there are things that need to be done afterwards.

I bowed my head and replied,

“Fortunately, the battle ended before we were injured. Thank you for your help, Holder Yoo Eun-seol.”

“Yes, yes! I’m not hurt either-“

As I bowed my head in thanks, Kim Chae-eun also bowed and replied.

Yoo Eun-seol accepted it with a wave of her hand.

“First of all, I’m sorry for following you into this dungeon without the consent of the original discoverers. It looked dangerous seeing a 2-person party trying to conquer the dungeon so I came in.”

Yoo Eun-seol lightly apologized.

In fact, dungeon discovery and conquest are related to ownership issues, so it can be awkward if a third party who did not participate in discovery enters.

This is even regulated within the association, but that’s only under normal circumstances, rescue in crisis situations like just now is an exception.

“It was a dangerous situation. If it wasn’t for Holder Yoo Eun-seol, it would have been difficult to escape. Thank you again.”

I thanked her as politely as possible.

Then Kim Chae-eun’s eyes widened behind me.

Is this your first time seeing such formal manners?

It was awkward at first but now I’m used to it.

After living as an intern clan member for almost a month, I’ve become quite accustomed to the etiquette of being a Holder,

Yoo Eun-eeol also received my polite greeting and said,

“As you both know, I am Yoo Eun-seol, an independent S-grade Holder. May I ask where you two are from?”

Kim Chae-eun’s eyes sparkled as she answered first,

“Hello, Holder Yoo Eun-seol! I am Kim Chae-eun, a C-grade Holder and student at Seoul Holder Academy-!”

Kim Chae-eun had been promoted to C-grade after passing an association review over two weeks before this dungeon conquest,

Thanks to that, she was able to enter Seoraksan Field without being restricted by its grade.

I followed suit,

“I am also a student at the academy and C-grade Holder Do Jae-hyun. It’s truly an honor to meet you, Holder Yoo Eun-seol.”

Except for a few polite words, it was a neat introduction without any flaws,

“Academy… you say?”

But Yoo Eun-seol’s expression was strange, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Is there a problem…”

Was there some trouble with the academy?

I couldn’t think of anything when I tried to remember.

Rather, she had little to do with the academy, and if there was a problem, it was with the <Villain> clan.

“No, not at all.”

Yoo Eun-seol, who shook her head as if it was nothing, soon asked us again.

“Would it be okay to conquer the dungeon together? There are some things I want to ask you while we’re together. I will give up all rights related to dungeon ownership, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

It’s a radical proposal.

An S-grade Holder, and the only assassin in Korea.

The opportunity to conquer a dungeon with Yoo Eun-seol, who has such a title.

This is not an opportunity that comes easily.

Normally, we would have given up on conquering today and come back tomorrow with renewed strength… but with an S-grade Holder, we could conquer within an hour.

Moreover, unlike in the original work, a sudden pack of wolves and a giant wolf appeared, causing a hitch in our full-scale conquest.

In such a situation, an S-grade Holder joining the party is a strong ally in itself.

‘She even gives up ownership….’

We don’t have the power to conquer this dungeon right now.

If we exit the dungeon as we are and Yoo Eun-seol conquers the dungeon alone, the ownership will probably go straight to Yoo Eun-seol.

But she’s giving all that up.

There was no reason to refuse.
