Chapter 59: 56

Chapter 56

The price of the items didn’t seem unreasonable because they were all sparkling. But it was all free! She was worried about Limbo’s maintenance, but now she was worried about becoming horse poor. Meanwhile, Sevis, who saw the Evi*n bottled water, grumbled for a moment that the horse bastard was awfully picky even though he didn’t die from drinking barley tea made with boiled tap water.

After organizing the packages, Sylvia took a quick shower and sat down on the sofa to read the message from Luca.

———————————————

[Wow! Sylvia, I’m really disappointed. Shouldn’t we meet to talk about something so important? I can’t believe you’re asking that through a letter. You don’t want to see my face? That can’t be true, but…! What are you doing this weekend? I’ll buy you something delicious. Shall we meet?]

———————————————

Luca’s letter was a typical request for a date. But Sylvia, already aware that he was the president of the pyramid business and the boss of the thugs who received the toll a while ago, did not see the letter as purely as it was.

“He’s asking for a date? Will I die from poisoning once again when drinking tea? Or he could be saying he’s going to buy me something delicious, and when I come to my senses, I’m being dragged into human trafficking. I can’t meet Luca recklessly until I find a way to get rid of the poison.’

She had to be careful because she was only going to vomit blood and die in the end if she tried to seduce him. However, if the target character approached her first but she continued to refuse brutally, there was no way to rule out the possibility that the target route would be destroyed. She picked up a pen and wrote down her reply.

———————————————

[I’m really busy this weekend and next week. Can we meet on the day of the Coming-of-Age Festival? The festival lasts for a long time, so I think we’ll have time to meet then.]

———————————————

As she tied the letter to the leg of the sparrow that sounded like a dove, it staggered, and soon began to fly away powerlessly. It was natural, since she could not feed the carrier pigeon anything other than dried corn because she was in poverty.

When Sylvia, who had gone outside to fly the carrier pigeon, came back inside, Sevis tilted his head and looked at her.

“Who are you communicating with?”

“Well, I’ve decided to quit the temple part-time now. You know, the jade floors sale… I worked at last time? I was contacted by the president of that business because he said he would introduce me to another job.”

“What? How are you communicating with him…”

Sevis’ expression hardened at the mention of the jade floors’ business president, but Sylvia didn’t notice because she was stretching.

“I ran into him on the road to the temple a while ago. He told me he would introduce me to a good job on the day of the Coming-of-Age Festival.”

“Ah… You ran into him by chance? He’s incredibly tenacious. By the way, Miss Sylvia, did you quit the temple part-time?”

“Yeah. That… I was thinking of doing it only for one month or so, so I’m going to quit now and figure something else out.”

‘So Miss Sylvia doesn’t have to meet with Mr. Noel anymore?’

Sevis was filled with excitement for some reason, and the corners of his mouth went up.

He felt it the last time they met, and he didn’t like the somehow lewd way he looked at Sylvia. It was nice that he bought them clothes, but that was all. As expected, Sevis didn’t really like Noel. He nodded, unconsciously grinning.

“That’s right, well thought. The temple part-time doesn’t give you a fortune. I think we should find another job. We’re not going to dungeons as often as I thought… We can’t be kicked out before you save the world.”

Sylvia’s face turned uneasy when he mentioned the dungeons. Noel asked her to go alone with him to raid the forgotten temple next week, but did she really have to lie to Sevis, who is living with her in the same house to help her? She thought it would be better to be honest.

‘It’s not just one or two days. I’ll be gone for several days, so it’s better to tell the truth. It would be better than getting caught and our relationship becoming awkward.’

“Speaking of dungeons, I think I’m going to raid a dungeon with Mr. Noel next week.”

“With Mr. Noel?”

Sevis’ face darkened again at the words that came out of Sylvia’s mouth. He thought it was a good thing because they didn’t have to meet anymore, but they were going to raid a dungeon together? What was this nonsense?

“Yeah, there is one place that Noel knows, and it must have been occupied by contaminated monsters.”

“It must be a big dungeon, right?”

“Yeah, I think it’s going to take three or four days.”

Three or four days. A cry came from a corner of Sevis’ brain, thinking that he couldn’t see the man and woman together for three or four days even if he died. That could never happen!

Sevis looked at Sylvia with eyes burning with jealousy without realizing it.

“I… I also have to go with you.”

“Ah, about that… we were going just the two of us.”

Sevis rolled his eyes around for a moment at Sylvia’s words, then looked coldly at her and opened his mouth.

“… What if you go just the two of you and there are more monsters than you think? Wouldn’t it be nice to have one more person?”

“That’s true…”

Sylvia’s face darkened. He was right, but she was greedy to go alone with Noel.

‘That’s true, but… Mr. Noel said he wanted to go alone. We should go the two of us and do this and that… without him noticing anything naughty…’

As she hesitated, Sevis quickly continued.

“I can shapeshift when we’re in danger, so it would be better if I came along. What if you two go together and the monsters are stronger than you think? Death is closer than we think. It is better not to talk about such insecurity. Let’s go together.”

“What? … I-I see. Now that you mention it, you are right, Sevis.”

Sylvia’s eyes widened in surprise as she listened to Sevis. She couldn’t think that it would be dangerous because she was blinded by naughty things, but it was right when she heard it.

‘I see. Now that he mentions it, it’s true. There is no answer if the two of us go there and face an untimely death at the hands of a monster. We could be beaten to death, or, in the worst-case scenario, we could die while being ripped apart. It’s painful just thinking about it. Even if I can live again, it’s better not to experience such pain as much as possible… Sevis is right. Mr. Noel will also understand right away if I explain it properly. We’ll go with Sevis next week.”

Sylvia nodded and agreed with Sevis.

“That’s right, I get it. Then come with us next week, Sevis.”

“Yes! I understand.”

Sylvia felt relieved when Sevis smiled brightly at her.

“It was good of me not to lie. What if we really got into trouble…’

Sylvia let out a sigh of relief inwardly, but as she was cleaning the boxes on the floor with a more relaxed expression, Sevis spoke to her.

“You know we’re going to the coastal dungeon tomorrow, right? It’s a mudflat dungeon so shovels, boots… I already prepared what we need. But Miss Sylvia, what did you do? I think you have gotten a little more energized. I think you can now raid the mudflat dungeons without difficulty, so hurry up and spread the mat and rest.”

Sylvia studied his expression for a moment. She had become more energized because she had attacked Noel. Since Sevis had no way of knowing, Sylvia relaxed her expression and smiled broadly.

“Alright! Let’s rest so we can raid the dungeon!”

The next day, Limbo, Sylvia, and Sevis left the house with the picnic bag with infinite storage. It was getting hotter and more humid as the middle of summer approached, so they didn’t forget to wear brim hats.

Although Sevis called it a horse bastard, he also bought a brimmed hat for Limbo at the market. Fortunately, the brim hat with strings was just right for Limbo’s horse head.

“Sevis, you’re not shapeshifting today, are you?”

Sevis pouted at her words, glaring at Limbo.

“If I keep shapeshifting in front of that arrogant horse bastard, maybe it will think we are at the same level. It needs some military discipline. I’ll just restrain myself today.”

“Pfft, alright. You have to get along with Limbo quickly…”

At Sylvia’s words, Limbo and Sevis had a staring contest for a while, and then both snorted and turned their heads.

She didn’t know when they would get along, but time would solve it.

Arriving at the beach and changing into the boots and rubber clothes that were inside the picnic bag, the two were troubled because of Limbo. They couldn’t take a horse to the mudflat. If they did something wrong, there was a risk that Limbo would fall into the mudflat.

“The mudflat dungeon is right around the corner, so we’ll just have to tie Limbo up here on the rocks and quickly raid it.”

She was anxious, but she had no choice but to tie Limbo to a rock. Sylvia then took a shovel and went into the mudflat in front of her. Upon entering the dungeon, a message announcing the dungeon’s entrance appeared in front of her eyes.

[Coastal Mudflat Dungeon]

She was wondering why it was called a mudflat dungeon, and she literally had to dig up the monsters that were hidden in the mudflat and attack them… It was the best dungeon in terms of annoyance.

‘Never in my life I thought I would be raiding a dungeon while digging up mudflats. At times like this, I really want to click the mouse in front of the monitor.’
