Lee Hyun exited from his capsule and sat idly while feeling a huge sense of loss.
“Now I don’t have access till 24 hours have passed.”
He had used Acid Breath to take down as much Chaos Warriors as he could. But even if he was able to do a breath attack, he doesn’t know the full extent of damage it dealt.
In addition, he was resurrected as a Dragon but with skills only that of a Beginner level!
His Flight skill, Dragon’s Roar, and Acid Breath were at Beginner level 4, level 6, and level 3 respectively.
He could not afford prolonging the battle against the Chaos Warriors for his health rapidly declined so he resorted to use one huge breath attack.
“Anyway, it was quite difficult.”
Lee Hyun stood up and started cleaning.
If he had turned on his television, he would have seen the contents of his quest playing in full swing but he was only interested in watching the news and the show ‘Unveiling Versailles Continent’.
Watching television other than that is only a waste of electricity!
“Now that I’m done with housecleaning, it’s time to do some sweeping and polishing.”
Washing the bed sheets, cleaning the refrigerator, maintaining the chicken coop, there were many things that he still needed to be done.
The season was now in autumn with plenty of fallen leaves accumulating.
“Autumn sure comes by so fast.”
Lee Hyun had always been very sensitive and sharp to dry and bleak winds.
“I’ll need to start soaking kimchis soon.”
Before winter arrives, it is important to start preparing kimchis!
Just as he was about to do more maintenance in the house, he was suddenly interrupted.
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong
Somebody was incessantly pressing the doorbell at the front door.
No Peddlers.
No Religious Solicitors.
The doorbell looks like it’s about to break.
I’m going to charge whoever presses and breaks it.
That person had definitely seen the warning sign but still continues to persist in pressing the doorbell.
Lee Hyun went to open the front door and was surprised to see Seoyoon there. It seems that she hurriedly came to his house as beads of sweat were forming in her forehead.
When she had first visited, she had taken the chickens but now it seems she wants a rabbit when he had asked for an exchange for Tori.
“Hello, how long has it been? Come on, step inside.”
Lee Hyun greeted her like a close friend and invited her inside the house. He then gave her a cup of naengnokcha (T/N: cold green tea).
“Nowadays, the weather is starting to get cold and I should be serving others hot green tea but for now, this should help cool you down.”
“…….”
“Shall I bring some honey?”
Seoyoon had a very worried look on her face and showed little interest for the green tea.
‘Although I died… Why did he gladly welcome me?’
When Seoyoon had died, she immediately came out of the capsule.
Earlier, KMC Media had contacted her regarding the part of her appearance at the core of the quest. But of course, she did not do any direct negotiations but instead left it to the lawyer in charge of her.
Normally, they don’t need the consent of a person to air their appearance but since this was a quest concerning Lee Hyun, they needed her consent for the show.
Afterwards, they came to an agreement to limit her appearance to only where she had a mask on her face and had her thin leather clothes covered with her armor.
She had then enquired KMC Media about the situation in Las Phalanx.
Geumini had died while Weed experienced death twice.
Seoyoon by then had been far more concerned on how to console the grief-stricken Lee Hyun than to care about the drop in her level and skill proficiency.
But Lee Hyun just welcomed her when she had arrived.
“Don’t want to drink green tea? Oh, how rude of me. I haven’t served any fruit.”
Normally, Lee Hyun would display a completely different behaviour.
But in Royal Road, Seoyoon lost her life fighting against Kubichya. Her valiant efforts led to the successful hunting of the Chaos Daejeonsa.
Naturally, he was thankful but as he turns around his head, he quickly began to formulate a scheme for the item distribution.
‘I’ll feign ignorance for the time being.’
As he was peeling an apple, Lee Hyun was drooling over the idea of gaining more items.
Not even a shred of guilt as he began to scheme!
“Ah, damn it, he was broke. How can he not drop many items when he died?”
He carefully peels the apple as he speaks in guile.
Even if she were to watch the broadcast, she still wouldn’t be able to know what items he had acquired. It was because Kubichya died while he was inside Weed’s mouth.
‘Is it too much if I say only one item came out? But it was a boss…. it was also a monster related to a quest, she might doubt my claims later.’
Lee Hyun then spoke in a small voice.
“Still, it wasn’t all that bad. What came out were 5 equipment items, or was it 3? Ah, it was 4. Anyway, that’s what he dropped when he died.”
He originally got 5 items but thought of reducing it somewhat by 2. However, if there were only 3 items to split up, one person will only get one item.
Eventually, he compromised with 4 items so it can be divided by 2 while looking less suspicious.
“I think Kubichya was wearing very good equipments. But frankly, I think that it is unlikely that we will be able to wear those equipments.”
As Lee Hyun continued to speak, he was also feeling frustrated. It was because he wasn’t able to check the items that he had acquired.
‘In order to divide them, I needed to properly determine their value first.’
In Versailles Continent’s time, they had approximately spent a few months of hardships together. In the course of their adventure, Seoyoon had contributed a lot so anymore deceit would be unfair to the effort she had displayed.
After all, it is only common sense to divide the items equal to the contributions.
However, one item was removed so she only gets 2 items where 3 items would have been a proper reward!
‘Good. It seems she has no complaints.’
Seoyoon covered her mouth with the tea cup and gently smiled in relief. Her natural smile was like from a different dimension compared to Lee Hyun’s rotten smile.
When Lee Hyun created the Freya Statue, he had imagined the beautiful Seoyoon smiling.
And right now, in front of his eyes, her smile exuded such a charm that he can’t help but feel attracted to her!
But Lee Hyun could not even look at her straight in the eye.
It was not because he haphazardly lied about the items he acquired from Kubichya but because of her expression, the look in her eyes contained a sign of deep affection.
‘This is getting awkward.’
Lee Hyun then tried changing the topic.
“I’m going to return to cleaning… would you like to help?”
Not even entertaining her but instead gave a proposal to clean the house. Nevertheless, Seoyoon just nodded.
“Let’s sweep the yard first. There are so many leaves collecting.”
While sweeping the yard, Seoyoon was being playful unlike her usual self.
She even tried to sneak some piles of leaves to Lee Hyun’s area!
