[You have left the star cluster, ‘Nepomuk Cathedral.’]
It was a simple but definitive method. I disconnected from the star cluster so they definitely had to be separated. Of course, it was a speculation but it seemed to work.
[Chwik. It seemed like it would be very fun. It is a pity. Tsk.]
I was glad. Based on Mudur’s voice, it seemed to have worked. Phew, I felt like I lost 10 years. Next to me, Kim Sujeong spoke with a frown, “Father, Camille is asking about the orc just now.”
Looking back, Kis and Helena, who were following us, also stopped. Joseph and Drain were the same. The four of them were staring at us with dazed eyes.
Hrmm. It wasn’t possible.
I sighed and told Kim Sujeong, “Let’s continue on the journey. I’ll tell you using whispers.”
I started to tell the long story.
* * *
At the continent’s largest auction house...
A group of people came out of a place known for its live auction. Choi Mido was in the group and covered her face with both hands to hide her warm face. “Puhahaha! See, I told you before. Not a single one of them raised their hand... ack!”
Park Taehyeong’s words were interrupted by Kim Hyeonu’s kick. Kim Hyeonu approached Mido’s side and placed a hand on her shoulder. “It’s okay, something like this can happen. Don’t be discouraged, you’ll definitely sell it next time.”
“......”
Nevertheless, Mido couldn’t lower her hands. She was too ashamed. She never thought that her painting wouldn’t be bought twice in a row. She was very proud of her paintings but not today. It felt like the world she built up had collapsed. Yes, it felt like this.
“Ouch... Hey, Kim Hyeonu. Couldn’t you kick a bit gentler?”
Park Taehyeong straightened while holding his back with one hand and Eun Jeonghyeok sighed from behind him.
“Ah. This tactless brat.”
“What?”
“Stop bullying Mido.”
“Ah, me? I’m just telling the truth. Kukuk. No one raised their hand...”
There was the sound of a sword being pulled out. The sound didn’t come from the sword hanging from Kim Hyeonu’s waist. It was a bit soaked in blood so it was closer to a sound of terror. The sword’s owner, Mido, held the Bloody Butcher in her hands. She silently walked toward Park Taehyeong.
“Haha. Hey, is Mido angry? Hey. I’m sorry. Hey?”
Then she swung it. The sharp edges of the sword that narrowly missed him caused Park Taehyeong’s bangs to move. Park Taehyeong gulped.“M-Mido...?”
“Just die.” Her eyes were shining brightly with tears. Mido swung her sword at a high speed.
“Aaack! Mido! Stop! Sorry! I’m sorry! I was wrong! I won’t do it again! I’ll do anything if only you stop being angry! Midoooo!”
Mido swung the sword for around two minutes but she couldn’t hurt him. It was natural. She was a supporter while Park Taehyeong had a fighting class. There were huge differences between their strength and agility. All the executives except for herself had heroic rated classes.
Mido grumpily puffed up her cheeks like a balloon. “You will really do anything?”
“Y-Yes. What would you like? I’ll buy it for you.”
“No, it is okay not to buy anything.”
“T-Then...?”
“Come here.”
“Huh...?”
Park Taehyeong didn’t approach so Mido came to him first. Then she took out a brush and palette from her inventory.
“What are you going to do?” Park Taehyeong asked with a nervous expression and Mido replied, “I’m going to do this.”
Her hands moved quickly. Her brush was headed toward Park Taehyeong’s face. As time passed, laughter burst out from behind them. It was the laughter of Eun Jeonghyeok and Kim Hyeonu.
“Puhahaha!Kukukuk.”
“Cough.Hum.”
Park Taehyeong’s face was covered in makeup that made him look like a fool. Additionally, the words ‘dumb fool’ were written on his forehead. Since he often managed his appearance, Park Taehyeong pulled out a mirror from his inventory and stared at his face.
“W-What is this?!”
Mido turned around haughtily. “This is your punishment. You have to leave it there for three days.”
“W-What?”
“It is useless trying to erase it. This is a very durable oil paint. It is hard to erase without the Magic Power Cleaner in my hand.”
She walked away while shaking the Magic Power Cleaner in one hand. There was a lot of laughter behind them.
“Puhahaha!”
"Kukukuk. This is really amazing.”
“Hey, say kimchi~”
“Ah, you bastards!”
“Kuhahaha!”
Mido’s lips curved up. “It will sell well next time.”
The moon in the sky smiled.

[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is staring angrily at the orc.]
Fortunately, Camille and Mudur managed to reconcile. It was a slight misunderstanding and Mudur was only sleeping inside because it was cold outside. However, it seemed that the peace wouldn’t last long.
[Grruk. Hey, old man. Shouldn’t this little kid be killed?]
‘Rotten guy. Do you want to die?’
[Kuhuhu. It’s a joke. I don’t like fighting with such a little kid anyway.]
[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is making a face at Mudur.]
...These two. I thought about what happened just now and couldn’t help but have sweat flowing down my back. The situation just now had been very tense. Kim Sujeong was surprised to hear my story and so was Camille.
Just then, Joseph stopped walking. “Wait a minute. There is something in front.”
“Hmm?”
I extended my super sensitivity and glanced ahead with my improved vision. There were monkeys in front of us. What was this?
“I think the angry monkeys had become a bit fierce because the full moon has risen. Originally, they wouldn’t come out this far... Hrmm.”
I checked the level and found they were level 80-90 monsters. In any case, it was good because I needed practical training for the upcoming Colosseum battle. It was less than a week away but well, it was okay.
“Kis.”
“Huh?”
“You will protect Helena.”
“Ah, yes.”
Drain stepped back skillfully and I used the Flying Weather Dance. My feet burned brilliantly in the darkness as I used Rising Sun. Everyone except for Kim Sujeong marveled at the sight.
Joseph walked over. “I will help.”
“You don’t have to take the risk.”
“Well, it will be fine. If it is dangerous then I can use Stealth or Blinding Flash. Additionally, I’ll be pretty helpful. I’m not a death paparazzi for nothing. Haha.”
“Well, if you want.”
I turned toward Kim Sujeong. She was already fully prepared. Now she looked quite reliable.
The three of us moved slowly and I summoned Solar. Punghee revolved around me.
“Punghee, it is dangerous so why don’t you go to the Ring World?”
“Puung!”
She didn’t seem to like it. In general, sacred creatures like Punghee had their roots in the ring of worlds. She was still young and small. She was still in the Small Ring World but one day when she grew up, she would travel back and forth in the Big Ring World. Of course, this was for later.
“Then do you want to hide so there is no danger?”
“Puuuung?”
Punghee wound around my neck like a white scarf. It hadn’t been long since she was born but she already looked quite like a weasel. Well, she was a bit small compared to the original size but she was still an adult weasel. In any case, just looking at this, it seemed this place was better. Did it mean the duration in the skill description was ‘whenever she pleased’?
“Puuuung~”
Punghee was affectionate. We picked up our pace. After some time, I saw the group of ‘angry monkeys’ I had spotted earlier. I ran at high speed and flew toward the head of the monkey in the lead. The monkey’s head burst in one blow. Originally, I would’ve had to hit it several times but I had become much stronger in the meantime. The elevated knowledge stat increased the power of Rising Sun and there was nothing I couldn’t penetrate.
“Ukiikii!”
Five monkeys were killed in a row and the other monkeys rushed at me. However, the click sound that constantly came from next to me was bothering me.
Click.Click.
I turned my head and saw Joseph taking photos of the running monkeys.
“What are you doing?”
“Ah, this? I’m carving a Death Mark.”
“Death Mark?”
“Would you like to see?”
Click!
There was another click and a skull mark appeared over the heads of the running monkeys. He spoke confidently, “Now try and hit it. You will do more damage.”
“More damage?”
“Yes, this is another one of my abilities.”
Around 30 monkeys rushed in at once. I looked at them with curious eyes.
...I see.
I turned my head toward Solar. Since I’ve already summoned it, it wouldn’t be bad to give Solar a chance to play an active role.
“Solar, what was it called? Sun Explosion? Shall we try it out?”
“Understood. Hehe! Just wait!”
[The sun elemental ‘Solar’ is preparing ‘Sun Explosion!’]
Solar started to become bigger. The size was huge. Well, it was obvious since Solar had passed level 100. A short period of time passed and Solar grew to the size of an adult male. Perhaps this was Solar’s limit.
“Throw me, Master!”
“Throw?”
“Yep! Then I will go there and boooom! I will explode! Hehe.”
Solar was saying words that would be very serious if they were heard in reality. Well, it didn’t matter because this was a virtual world. Still, how do I throw something so big? It was also on the ground.
“Hmm.” I touched my beard and fell deep into thought. The distance to the monkeys was now 50 meters. They were jumping up and down while running and seemed very angry. Funny guys.
“I just have to send you over there?” I asked.
“That’s right, Master!”
“Then I have a way.”
I stepped back and opened the distance. Kim Sujeong looked at me curiously from the rear. “What are you going to do?”
“It isn’t a big deal.”
“Huh?”
“If I can’t use my hand then I have to kick it.”
At the same time, I ran and vigorously kicked Solar’s ass. There was an explosive sound and Solar flew through the air. There was a brief pause before the flying Solar started to descend. It deliberately turned in the direction of the monkeys and soon hit them.
The sound generated was great. The hot wind that surrounded us showed how strong the power was. The brilliant flames spread like it was encroaching on the surrounding scenery. I closed my eyes for a moment and after reopening them, the monkeys had disappeared without a trace. I watched the rising smoke and blazing ashes and smiled.
“These idiots are messing around.”
Then the sound of hiccups was heard from behind me.
“Hiccup!”
It was Kis and Helena.
