Episode 57
Although it was said to be haphazard, he swung it fairly well, as if his experience of winning first place in a youth swordsmanship competition was not a lie.
It seems like the helpers taught them, but it doesn’t seem like they are completely useless.
The moment she was thinking that while watching the guy’s swordsmanship, a fireball shot out from Yeonji’s hand and set the slime on fire.
I wonder if there was any need to use magic on the slime, but the slime died with that blow.
After clenching her fists and checking how much strength she had left, Yeonji immediately shifted her gaze elsewhere.
The direction my gaze was directed towards was a forest where monsters could easily appear.
Soon, Yeonji stretched out her feet towards that place without hesitation, and I followed her into the depths of the forest.
How much did it take to do that?
Through the senses of the aurors released around me, I felt many footsteps moving at a nearby distance.
The steps the size of a child, and the ravenous voice that passes through my ears, are goblins.
After a while, Yeonji also pricked up her ears as if she had heard the goblin’s noise and approached cautiously.
Soon after, Yeonji caught sight of three goblins making a bonfire and roasting mice.
Yeonji’s movements were cautious, as if she had caught that type of monster a few times before, and instead of using her sword, she started casting magic first.
At that moment, a fireball was shot.
The magic hit the head of a goblin that was sitting calmly, and Yeonji moved first before the others woke up in surprise.
Soon after, Yeonji slashed with her sword a goblin that had not yet fully realized the situation.
It’s shallow.
Even though she was good at using magic, it seemed like she didn’t know how to use aurors properly, so Yeonji’s sword only cut a little bit into the goblin’s chest.
Meanwhile, the other one raised its bow.
Yeonji didn’t seem to notice that fact and only focused on the goblin in front of her, and when I saw that, I had no choice but to shoot an auror at the goblin with the bow.
“Squeak!”
Then the startled goblin let go of his bow and arrow and sat down, covering his head and trembling.
And the rest of the goblins, whose heads had been burned by the fireball, were also prevented from moving with Aura, allowing Yeonji to deal with the goblins one-on-one.
‘Judging by the fact that he doesn’t pay any attention to his surroundings, he’s still a child. It was a good decision to throw the fireball at first, but it seems like this decision was just based on what I saw somewhere else.’
It looks like he hasn’t learned how to properly finish off monsters yet.
Meanwhile, Yeonji was desperately swinging her sword at a goblin.
The height difference between Yeonji and Goblin is similar.
At first, the goblin was reluctant to approach Yeonji, but soon after realizing that the opponent’s sword was a mess, he began to avoid attacks and look for opportunities.
“It won’t work.”
However, I had no intention of just letting that happen and gave off an aura to the goblin.
The goblin who was hit directly by my aura froze for a moment, and then Yeonji’s sword cut through his chest again.
“Kwiik!?”
The goblin was able to free itself only after being cut in the chest, and swung the blunt weapon at random as if angry.
Yeonji almost got hit by that, but I stopped the goblin’s movements each time.
After a while, the goblin with a pale face fell down after being struck by Yeonji’s sword.
After defeating the goblin, Yeonji was breathing heavily as if she were exhausted, and raised her sword high in the sky as if celebrating her victory.
Where did you see and learn that?
‘But right now, the priority is to build confidence. Even if I do a lot of dangerous things, I’m there.’
With that in mind, as I was releasing the goblin with the bow that I was suppressing with my Auror, I felt something in my Auror senses and immediately looked away.
Just looking at the footsteps running this way, it seemed like they were aware of the situation and were running towards me.
‘plaguy.’
Leaving behind Yeonji, who had no choice but to catch her breath and rush in to hunt down the remaining goblins, I turned to the guy who had caught my Aura senses.
Soon after arriving there, a hobgoblin with a head larger than a human appeared, damaging the grass.
“Krarak!”
The hobgoblin, who made a hostile sound as if he were the owner of the goblins that Yeonji had just encountered, swung a blunt iron weapon at me.
“Noisy.”
After saying those words, I immediately hit the hobgoblin’s head with my hand.
Then the hobgoblin’s head flew up and said goodbye to the body.
Is the level about 20? If Yeonji was dealing with him, he was a guy who could kill Yeonji unilaterally.
‘So originally, the helpers followed unconditionally.’
I followed him this time, so I guess he didn’t have to.
With that thought in mind, I returned to Yeonji.
Then, as if Yeonji had experience hunting monsters a few times, she cut off the goblin’s ear and put it in her pocket and wiped her forehead.
“I’ll put goblin ears on that bastard when he sleeps.”
You’re about to do something nasty.
I thought about going behind her and kicking her butt, but I just left her alone and continued to follow Yeonji, hiding my presence.
Yeonji, who was randomly grabbing monsters she had experience with, as if to vent her anger at me for being such a mess, eventually collapsed on the floor as if she had run out of stamina.
Yeonji took off her shoes and massaged her small feet to catch her breath. Soon, she got up and left the forest.
Still, it seemed like he was fully aware of his body’s limitations and moved accordingly.
‘Thanks to you, I now know this and that. In particular, what is this guy lacking? More than anything, I think we need to learn how to deal with Aurors first… … .’
Just as I was thinking about that, Yeonji returned to the village and stopped in front of the alley.
“come out.”
At that one word, I stopped for a moment.
I thought the kid had noticed me, but after a while, when several boys appeared in front of Yeonji, I realized that wasn’t the case.
The guys who showed up like that knelt down on one knee in front of Yeonji as if they were following some kind of master.
“Yeonji, this is today’s payment.”
“That’s enough. “Rather than that, you guys should just deal with me.”

“You mean the other person?”
The children, who were skeptical, soon became Yeonji’s swordsmanship opponents.
Yeonji started sword sparring with the boys and soon knocked them all down.
It seemed like the kids her age were no match for Yeonji, as she easily won despite putting all her stamina into hunting monsters all day.
“Yeok, of course Yeonji. There is no way for us to win. “You are ranked first in the youth swordsmanship competition.”
“Then what do you do? “Nothing will happen with this.”
Yeonji slapped the floor with an angry expression, probably because she was thinking of me.
Most children easily look down on adults.
Yeonji must have been of the same type.
“You all attack at once.”
“Uh, are you okay?”
“Are you looking at me like water now? Even considering the monsters I hunted today, a few of you are nothing!”
When Yeonji frowned at one child’s surprised words, the children hesitated and raised their model swords.
Then, as Yeon-ji said, everyone rushed in, and he used his sword skills to take down the children one by one.
Of course, because there were so many people, they were often hit by the opponent’s sword, but they tenaciously endured it and took care of all the children. I knocked it down.
Only then did Yeonji look a little refreshed, said hello to the children, and walked towards the mansion.
I, who was looking at the back, returned to the mansion before Yeonji, and soon looked for a suitable place.
“Hey, is Yeonji’s room over there?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
After confirming the location of Yeonji’s room, I found the best view from the room’s window and walked into the garden.
Then, I glanced at the window and pulled out the Star Heavenly Blade.
Then, the aura began to slowly rise from my sword, and I began to swing the sword like when I learned the way of the sword before.
Not long after, I noticed that Yeonji, who had returned to her room, had looked out the window when she heard a sound coming from the garden.
Every time I swung my sword, Yeonji’s gaze followed, and she watched my swordsmanship without even thinking about hiding herself.
‘Yes, yes, if there is a person in front of you who is much better than you, you should naturally think about taking that away from him.’
Yeonji would never be able to teach me if I tried to teach her myself.
You’ll be lucky if you don’t rebel.
But if you’re stealing, it’s a different story.
You will feel like you are taking revenge on me, and more than anything, Yeonji, who is very interested in swordsmanship as she won first place in a swordsmanship competition, will want to use that as an excuse to steal my swordsmanship even more.
This is enough for now.
After practicing my swordsmanship to some extent, I glanced toward the window and saw Yeonji quickly lowering her head and hiding.
The opportunity was planted.
If you show me this much, I’ll probably steal it again next time.
‘It may take some time, but this is all you need for now. ‘It’s fortunate that he was interested in swordsmanship.’
After checking the area where I was hiding, I wiped the sweat from my cheeks and walked inside.
“helper.”
As soon as I called, an assistant suddenly appeared next to me, and I walked down the hallway and spoke to her.
“I need to explain to you how Yeonji has grown over the past eight years.”
“Yes, as much as you want.”
I finally decided to hear how Yeonji has grown while I was away.
* * *
After hearing all about Yeonji’s growth process from the housekeeper, I looked at Yeonji, who had quickly fallen asleep due to her intense movements today.
As I expected, I had been away from home for eight years.
As a result, all the villagers living near the mansion felt sorry for Yeonji, and I became an asshole who didn’t even raise my daughter properly.
‘Based on the setting, I seem to be in the same position as the lord of this village.’
I didn’t care how other people viewed me.
The problem is rouge.
Although Yeonji seemed to be cheerful on the outside because I was away for eight years, she seemed to be suffering in her own way.
Parents are everything to a child.
All of that has been empty from Yeonji for eight years.
The rift was probably deeper than I thought, and as I expected, it seemed unlikely that Yeonji would ever acknowledge me as her father in the future.
‘As expected, it was right to take this route.’
It was already too late for me to take on the role of a parent.
In that case, I thought it would be best to serve as Yeonji’s rival and teacher.
‘From now on, I will definitely have to use the time skip function when Yeonji is sleeping or when she doesn’t have to be with me.’
This will save you as much time as possible.
The problem is that if I do this, I will end up moving in a Spartan manner.
“f*ck it, that’s enough. “You have to consider at least the next few months.”
With that in mind, I decided to focus my attention elsewhere this time.
I have yet to see what powers were given through the reward for conquering the last floor and the nomination of the constellation.
So, the intention was to check that first.
“I will receive compensation from the 29th floor.”
【Soruene’s Elixir was provided as a reward for clearing the 29th floor.】
At that moment, an elixir was held in my hand.
After touching the elixir for a moment, I checked its effects and immediately touched my chin with a sigh.
The effect of Soruene’s elixir was simple.
It is an elixir that increases your experience level while the effect lasts when you drink it.
It lasted about an hour, but it was a type of infinite potion that recovered after a day.
‘This was lucky. I never thought something like this would come out at the right time. Of course it’s useless to me.’
It is an appropriate elixir to use on Yeonji.
‘Yes, now that I think about it, there is such a thing as an elixir. There was no need to worry about elixirs or anything like that in this episode, so I didn’t worry about it.’
With that thought in mind, I looked toward Yeonji.
One way is to gain experience points by simply hunting monsters, but feeding elixirs will also have an effect on raising your stats.
‘Let’s make it as strong as possible when we raise it.’
I thought I should gather information about the elixirs on this floor from the helpers, so this time I shifted my gaze to my status window.
The power of slothful pleasure, the constellation on the 29th floor, is ‘sinful negligence’
“What is this?”
My head tilted to the side at the sight of sinful neglect.
[sinful negligence]
You can refuse any talent given to you by God once per day.
Be careful, every time you use it, sin will enter your body.
A God-given talent?
