Everyone is Young Except for Me

Chapter 69

I was flustered when I was suddenly confronted by the banshee. It was because she came through the wall without my knowledge. Fortunately, Prometheus saved me.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ has an ominous feeling.]

If it wasn’t for that message, my neck probably would’ve been pierced by the sharp nails. The banshee looked down at me with a devilish smile, mouth wide open. I felt cold sweat flowing down my back. Damn, I couldn’t fight here. Mido was already struggling while surrounded by monsters and it was clear that she wouldn’t last long. Somehow, I had to do something.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ recommends to run away first and come back.]

“Yes, this is the only way.” I knew it as well. The problem was whether Mido could hold on long enough. After a moment of contemplation, I made a decision.

Then Mido shouted at me, “Grandfather!”

“Don’t worry! Even if I die, I’ll be resurrected in the village!”

I lured the banshee to a place with no people. I left the party and went straight into activating the Flying Weather Dance.

[You have left the party.]

It was to avoid being caught. In the case of a party, the experience would be shared. I blocked off all the reasons that could make a person feel suspicious. The banshee in front of me waved her sharp nails and five sharp ice awls cut through the air, scratching the rocks. Small bits of ice bounced in all directions but I wasn’t focused on that right now.

[You can’t deal physical damage to ghost-type monsters.]

[In exchange, the sun damage will be inflicted two times.]

Physical damage wasn’t possible? Mido almost got into trouble. The banshee that was hit by me swayed. She seemed pained as she frowned slightly. She had low defense compared to orcs but her attack power was as good as orcs. It took me a long time to deal with her. She was a monster, not a human, but she was a good opponent.

The banshee collapsed with a scream. I quickly picked up the items that had fallen.

[The Final Farewell Stone has been acquired.]

[The Bitter Grief Ice has been acquired.]

[Sarah’s Letter has been acquired.]

“A letter? Why did this drop?”

[Sarah’s Letter (Quest Item)]

[Rating: Normal

Sarah’s letter to a man called Aren.

“I will forever remember the always shining angel was my joy.”]

It was a quest item. Ah, right, now wasn’t the time. I hurried toward Mido. Then Prometheus spoke up.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is telling you to wear a mask.]

“I forgot.”

I hadn’t used it for a while and had forgotten. I couldn’t reveal my identity. It might’ve been different if it was only Mido but she was currently broadcasting. I wore my mask and used Wings of False Image.

[The Wings of False Image has been used.]

[All user information has been obscured.]

I hadn’t known this would be so useful when I acquired it from the Fire Dragons. I felt it was very fortunate.

Prometheus spoke again. [The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is telling you to eat the Helium Slime Core.]

“Helium slime?”

It was one of the things that Mido had given me. It was an item I roughly looked over but why did he want me to eat this? I checked the information window.

[Helium Slime’s Core]

[Rating: Normal

The essence of the helium slime obtained from the Kobold Mine. A key ingredient in a potion that can permanently change the voice. If you eat it, your voice will randomly change for an hour.]

Ah, I hadn’t read the last line. Prometheus probably told me to eat it because of this last line. I swallowed the Helium Slime’s Core straight away.

[The Helium Slime’s Core has been consumed.]

[Your voice will randomly change for one hour.]

“Ah, ah.” Fortunately, a young man’s voice came out. Was it approximately 40 years old? Of course, it wasn’t my voice.

“I’m going to have to run.”

Shortly thereafter, I saw Mido in danger. Fortunately, she hadn’t died yet. I looked at her health and it was only a matter of time before she died. I pulled a thread and transformed my clothes into a suit. “Bad guys. Who would dare to touch Mido?”

[The sun skill, Sun Road has been used!]

[The sun energy is at 50 points.]

[Movement speed is doubled for 15 seconds.]

[Your footsteps are filled with flames as you walk along the sun’s path.]

There was a familiar explosion and I crossed through the group of monsters with tremendous speed. The colossus, gremlins, twin skulls, etc. They couldn’t avoid the disaster that was like a sudden traffic accident.

“Kuaaaack—!”

“Clack clack clack.”

“Gruruk!”

Their arms and legs melted every time they touched the pillars of fire. The high-temperature flames turned everything to ashes. It burned all things and erased everything. Finally, the time of Sun Road was over and I stood in front of Mido, gasping. Then I applied for a party.

[A party has been formed.]

[Lv.???. ‘?????’ / Lv 151 ‘Mido’]

“Are you okay?” Perhaps it was because my voice was younger but I subconsciously spoke in a younger manner. It was possible to use the word ‘rejuvenated.’

“Ah, yes! Aren’t you the Wolf Mask from the news?”

“Correct.”

In fact, it had already been revealed. Meanwhile, the viewers watching her broadcast were in an uproar the moment we formed the party.

-Wow, amazing. In just a moment?

-Crazy. Wiping out a group of over level 100 monsters in one shot?

-Isn’t this Wolf Mask from the news?

-100% right.

-Freaking awesome.

-I need to change my underwear.

-Hey, let’s go together.

-Me too.

[Wolf Mask Super Awesome has gifted you 2000 Star Candy.]

[Hero Wolf Mask has gifted you 1000 Star Candy.]

[One Shot One Kill has gifted you 1000 Star Candy.]

The broadcast was already in pandemonium. They just seemed to have no idea about what happened.

-By the way, why did Wolf Mask suddenly come here?

-Right. Why did he suddenly form a party and save her? What is his relationship with our goddess?

-Perhaps he is her boyfriend? Then from today, I’m Wolf Mask’s anti-fan.

-I think this will be in the news tomorrow.

...Bad guys.

I shifted my gaze and looked at Mido. She looked up at me with eyes that shone like a lantern. “Thank you for saving me!”

“You’re welcome.”

“Ah, excuse me...”

“...?”

Mido scratched her cheek and asked in a curious manner, “Can I ask why you suddenly formed a party?”

“......”

I was speechless for a moment. In fact, there was no reason for it. The moment I saw her, I instinctively felt that I needed to invite her to a party. This was a scary habit. I racked my mind thinking about what to say. After a moment of silence, I answered, “A friend called me over.”

“Friend? Who are you talking about?”

-Friend? What friend?

-What is this situation?

-He must be lying.

“Your grandfather is my friend. Ah, I don’t mean I’m the same age. We just became friends in the game.”

“Huh???” Mido looked shocked. It was the same with the viewers.

-Crazy. Grandfather and Wolf Mask are friends?

-The class of our goddess’ grandfather’s friend;;;

-But where is Grandfather? ??

Mido remembered and hurriedly sent a whisper. Damn, it was to me.

-Mido: Grandfather. Where are you?

-Jackson: Uh, I died and resurrected in the village.

-Mido: Are you friends with Wolf Mask???

-Jackson: Ahh, yes. I stumbled upon him by chance. He is younger than me but he is a very good friend of justice.

-Mido: Amazing! Why didn't you tell me?

-Jackson: He doesn’t want to be discovered by the media.

What was I saying right now...? In any case, I spoke whatever came to mind. I was pretending to be friends with Wolf Mask and felt a strange pleasure.

-Mido: Then why did you suddenly call him over?

-Jackson: I thought you were in danger and called for some help. He was passing by.

-Mido: I see. I understand. I’ll go to Windia soon.

-Jackson: Ah, no! Keep hunting there. I’ll be busy anyway because I have a separate matter to handle.

-Mido: Really? Um, I understand. I’ll contact you when I log out! I think I need to do some broadcasting with this person.

-Jackson: Yes, have fun.

Phew, it wasn’t easy. My heart seemed like it was going to burst.

Mido spoke to me carefully, “Excuse me... would you like to hunt together?”

I nodded. “Good.”

It was the beginning of a collaboration between a chef and a painter.

* * *

The A.S.L community was buzzing.

The reason was due to the post about ‘Wolf Mask.’ Someone who claimed to be a journalist wrote about the evil deeds of Wolf Mask. It was similar to a hot pan.

-Wow, Wolf Mask has no humanity.

-How funny ?? Is he Spider-Man?

-If this is true, his personality doesn’t seem very good.

-I think the same. He stopped the cameras the other day.

-I like it because it is manly. It is very hot.

-That is just your opinion.

-However, wouldn’t it be their fault as well?

-We won’t know from listening to one side.

-I’m curious about what he looks like under the mask. Is he really ugly?

There were many comments and stories but public opinion was mainly driven toward the side that Masked Wolf did something wrong.

-No matter what, he shouldn’t act like this.

-I agree. It’s a bit harsh.

-Honestly, it is too much to tie them to a cliff.

-He isn’t human.

Then someone commented...

-Right now, the creator ‘Mido’ is hunting live in the Abandoned Mines with Wolf Mask.

-Mido? Who is that?

-She’s a recently popular creator whose class is a painter. She is from the Icarus Guild.

-If it is true then I’m going to watch now.

-Okay. Gazua!

-Go see Wolf Mask, gazua!

Naturally, they flocked to Mido's broadcast. They didn’t know that this broadcast would be the beginning of a legend.
