[Dun.man.chu]
Academy Dungeon Day 2.
Maybe it was because of the forced march last night, but I was so tired.
I won’t be concerned about grades.
Eunha reached an agreement with the party members and decided to sleep until late at night.
“—Let the person who wakes up first get up, and the person who sleeps better sleep later.”
“I’ll sleep a little longer.”
“Wait a minute. Then what are you planning to do as a sentry? You’re not saying we’re going to take turns standing there for three hours until the morning sentry, right?”
“Sentry? Why stand like that? Don’t do that. Even if you don’t do that, you can tell whether a monster is approaching us or not.”
“But even so, there could be an emergency. What if the person whose presence we don’t sense….”
“Then you can stand guard alone. Thank you. Good luck. I’ll go back to sleep.”
“…….”
“So, why don’t you come here and sleep with me one more time?”
The dungeon, which exists on a different line from the existing world, was like an institution that created monsters in itself.
So, as long as I was in the dungeon area, I couldn’t let go of the tension from the monster threat even for a moment.
If you made a mistake, you could have closed your eyes and woke up to find monsters everywhere.
Nevertheless, Eunha remained calm.
The hot spring area here is an area where the dungeon’s power does not reach much, so monsters usually do not try to approach it.
Not all areas of the dungeon were colored the same color.
Although it may be a slight difference.
If you look closely at the dungeon area, you can find some dark areas and some lighter areas.
The hot spring area where the galaxy is currently based was the lightest red color among the areas on the third underground level.
Depending on the area you are stepping into, the buffs that the dungeon gives to monsters also change.
Except in rare cases, there was little chance that a monster would enter an area that would weaken itself.
Even if something unexpected happens─.
─Don’t I know when a monster tries to get close?
Eunha believed in her own skills.
So I decided to go to sleep.
As if Seona wasn’t too worried, she opened her mouth wide, yawned, and laid down on the pavement.
The person with an uncomfortable face was Kaede Hoshimiya, who had just finished guarding and was trying to wake up the party members.
Kaede stood outside the tent with a sullen expression on her face.
He looked worried.
“Come here.”
“…….”
“I’m sure you’re tired from yesterday’s forced march. Let’s sleep a little more and wake up later and have lunch?”
With sleepy eyes.
Eunha got out of her sleeping bag and tapped the spot on her right side with her hand.
Since there was an empty seat next to me, it meant taking a breather.
“…I can’t help it. Move a little further to the side.”
“It’s cramped for me too. Seona, please move a little more to the side.”
“Can’t you just stand guard, Eunha? You and Kaede can spend it alone.”
“you….”
Finally, Kaede entered the tent, pretending to be reluctant.
The three people turned into wasps and fell into sleep.
Some time passed.
“What are you talking about…?”
They soon detected several signs approaching the hot spring area.
There was no sign of a monster.
It looked like the students taking the final evaluation had come down to the third basement level.
Who came?
It came sooner than I thought.
Eunha tossed and turned.
The sounds of students talking were getting closer and closer.
When he finally woke up, he decided to go outside and check on the students.
The other two people seemed to feel the same way and woke up, looking sleepy.
“Wait. Arrange your hair and open it. And Eunha, you have goosebumps in your eyes.”
“Okay. Take your time.”
The three people roughly checked their whereabouts.
Eventually, the three people who got themselves in order left the tent, starting with Eunha.
By then, the students were well within sight.
Soon, Eunha found a familiar face among them.
“Huh? Yoo Do-jun?”
“What? I was wondering who came first, and it was you, Eunha? Well, you’re the only one who would come here first. How have you been? By the way… are you three using the same tent?”
“Well, what’s wrong? What a waste it would be to use two tents for the three of us. But you came surprisingly quickly?”
Yoo Do-jun and the students who follow him.
Eunha was surprised to see them coming down to the third basement level.

——————
This is because the time the students reached the 3rd basement level was significantly faster than the time they expected.
I was thinking that people would start arriving around lunchtime at the earliest… .
Did you notice his doubts?
Yoo Do-jun shrugged his shoulders.
“Is it because I decided to quickly go down and go to the hot springs? I was lucky and didn’t encounter many monsters, and even if I did encounter them occasionally, I was able to escape easily because I was dealing with another party.”
“Oh yeah?”
Yu Do-jun’s explanation.
Eunha nodded.
If so, it was understandable why he arrived at the 3rd basement level so quickly.
Meanwhile, Yoo Do-jun had the party members set up a tent nearby.
“I heard the academy hot springs are so good? I was feeling uneasy because I couldn’t shower properly. Would you like to go in and out of the hot springs and have lunch together? You’ll go in too, right?”
“Okay, let’s do it.”
It was slowly approaching lunch.
All sleep must have run away.
He accepted Yoo Do-jun’s offer.
“Oh right.” “huh?”
At that time, Yoo Do-jun places a heavy bag on the floor.
Eunha tilted her head when she saw him suddenly starting to unpack.
Then, when he saw the item he took out, he smiled broadly.
“I brought a lot of eggs, right? Fortunately, a few of them didn’t break. Do you want to make some hot spring eggs with these?”
☆
There is nothing more delicious than eating an egg in a hot spring.
The only thing that is disappointing is that there is no sikhye.
Fortunately, there was salt.
“Yum.”
“I thought you were going to die to come down with a real egg? Still, it was worth the effort.”
“Good job. You brought a lot.”
Eunha ate an entire egg and rummaged in the water.
The net was caught.
I took an egg out of the net and peeled it.
Dojun also quickly finished one egg and chose a new egg.
“So, are you planning to take a leisurely rest here?”
“I must have saved up a lot of points, so I don’t want to be too concerned about my grades.”
“What do grades have to do with you? There’s probably no one in the industry anymore who doesn’t know your skills. Hey, then can I join your party?”
“To our party?” “uh.”
Yoo Do-jun washes his face with hot spring water.
Then he lifted his bangs and leaned his back against the stone.
“The kids who care about grades can form a party among themselves and tell them to attack the dungeon, and the kids who want to stay can just stay here. Or, I can just join your party.”
“Well, figure it out.”
It would be nice to have more colleagues.
Other than the hot springs, there was nothing else to enjoy in the dungeon.
It was impossible to stay in the hot springs all day.
Eunha did not bother to stop Yoo Do-jun from joining her party.
“Ah, but from what I saw earlier, it looked like the three of you were using the tent. Is it really okay?”
“What’s going on?” “I’m glad nothing happened. I don’t know what Hayang would have thought if she had seen that scene earlier. Well, what does that matter?” “…….”
“Hagi Knight. It’s ridiculous to sleep separately between men and women in a dungeon. That’s a luxury in a dungeon, a luxury. Isn’t it?” “…yes.”
Yoo Do-jun is giggling.
Eunha felt like she was being stabbed for no reason.
He cleared his throat with difficulty.
“That’s good. If you’re going to stay here, I can sleep in the same tent as you starting tonight.”
“Well, that’s okay. If you like it, you can sleep there. I don’t care. Do whatever you want.”
Afterwards, Eunha had a casual chat with Yoo Do-jun.
I heard that we all decided to have lunch together once we got out of the hot springs.
The two of them ate eggs regardless of whether they had lunch or not.
Seona said she was preparing lunch, so I’ll have to wait a little longer before I leave.
Meanwhile, lunch was decided to be prepared by the loser after playing rock, paper, scissors.
At Eunha’s party, Seo-na was put in charge of duty.
Eunha heard Jin Seo-na’s voice receding from the women’s bathhouse and decided to soak in the bath a little longer.
“…Are you holding up surprisingly well?”
“what?” “Isn’t it hot?” “What’s hot about this?” “It’s really amazing….”
Quite a bit of time has passed since I entered the hot springs.
Before we knew it, all of Yoo Do-jun’s party members were outside.
After Yoo Do-jun came out of the hot spring, he just sat down on a stone.
In contrast, Eunha was still soaking in the water.
Yoo Do-jun stuck out his tongue, and Eun-ha raised her sassy nose.
“Eat another egg.”
“I’m sick of it. I’m going to have lunch later. You too, stop eating now.” “Eat just one more.”
I have to get up now.
That was when Eunha thought so.
There was a murmur outside.
“Huh? I heard the kids came down again?”
“Who is it?”
More signs than before were caught in his detection net.
And some of them were approaching the men’s bathhouse.
After a while, the person who opened the door filled with water vapor came in—.
“—You guys are really good at selling….”
It was Kim Geon-woong, a direct descendant of KK Group.
He took off his cloudy glasses, narrowed his eyes and smiled bitterly.
In response, the galaxy─.
“—Would you like some eggs?”
“Where did you get something like this?”
“There’s salt here too.”
“Thank you. I will eat well.”
“Don’t forget to clean up everything there after you eat.” “…what?”
“Oh, if you rummage around in the water there, you’ll find more eggs, so share them with your party members.”
I guess I just had to eat lunch.
I threw my half-shelled egg at him.
Kim Geon-woong was dumbfounded.
☆
To be honest.
Eunha did not know in detail what kind of person Kim Geon-woong, a direct descendant of KK Group, was.
Even if I remembered Kim Gun-woong before his return, my impression of him was very weak.
That can’t be helped.
As a player, there are limits to what I can know about people from conglomerates.
Moreover, other people’s impressions were very strong.
Choi Jeong-hoon and Choi Ga-in of the Galaxy Group had no doubt.
Hong Jin-woo of Dangun Group also did the same.
Sirius Group’s Han Seo-yeon had a temperamental temperament and was known for frequently being hysterical to her subordinates.
Aside from her management skills.
This is Yoo Do-jun from Youngone Group… . There’s no need to say anything about this.
How was Dawn Group? Although they were not as vicious as the Choi family, their immediate descendants also had many troubles.
Moreover, the Dawn Group showed contempt for the fairy by forming an alliance with the Dangun Group.
Since Fine Group was neutral, it can be said that it did not cause much harm.
It’s Alice Group… .
In her previous life, there were no direct descendants of Eunha’s age in Alice Group.
The only thing is that Jeong Seok-hoon, who became the chairman of Alice Group, actively manufactured potions to help players kill monsters.
Other than that, the performance of groups ranked in the top 10 in the business world was not that notable.
Moreover, even in my previous life—.
─Because KK Group was a group that competed with Donghae Group for 9th and 10th place every year.
It was a daunting situation just to keep each other in check.
In my previous life, the influence of the KK group was not as great as that of other groups.
That’s how uninterested Eunha was.
However, I only remembered that the KK Group, along with other groups in its previous life, was in a position to put pressure on the fairy Ha Baek-ryeon.
Compared to the direct descendants of other groups… . It was quite late that Kim Kun-woong became the chairman of KK Group… .
Kim Gun-woong also had several accidents.
However, it was nothing compared to the evil committed by other groups.
So, if I had to give an evaluation of Kim Gun-woong─.
─Just a typical authoritarian?
If you think highly of it… . Should I call it a minor copy of Choi Jeong-hoon?
Jeonghoon Choi’s deteriorated version.
However, Eunha was able to say with certainty that Kim Gun-woong would never grow into the great man that Choi Jung-hoon was.
In any case, Kim Gun-woong’s existence did not mean much to Eunha.
Unlike before my return, in this life I am concerned about the situation where KK Group is higher than Donghae Group… .
Because it has nothing to do with Kim Gun-woong, who will take office as chairman at a fairly late date.
However, when the opportunity comes, he steps on it appropriately to prevent people from going against him.
Sometimes we even cooperate to a certain extent.
A being that simply exists.
So Eunha talked to him without hesitation after taking a bath.
“…I brought everything.”
“It’s necessary to conquer the dungeon.” “I’m going to need a lot.”
In front of Kim Gun-woong’s tent.
The three people, Noh Eun-ha, Kim Gun-woong, and Yu Do-jun, drank coffee and exchanged information about dungeon strategies.
Then, Kim Geon-woong frowned when he saw students playing a board game on one side.
Eunha, who brought the board game, calmly accepted it.
“So? You’re not leaving here anytime soon?”
“I don’t know how long it will be, but I have no intention of rushing into the dungeon.”
Even up to the third year of secondary academy.
Whenever Kim Gun-woong had the opportunity, he would often visit Eunha and encourage her to become his exclusive subordinate.
But I entered the high school academy.
When Eunha earned the nickname <Kwaedonamma>, Kim Gun-woong reacted as if he was giving up on trying to recruit Eunha.
And then recently─.
“—I’d like to say that you should go raid the dungeon with us… but if you do that, I don’t know what Sirius or Alice will say. So, you’re staying here, right?”
After Kim Gun-woong found out about Noh Eun-ha’s two-legged love affair, he tried to keep his hands off her.
To him, the galaxy has become something he can never reach.
That’s why he didn’t tell Eunha to come under his wing like he used to.
“Well, if you don’t plan on attacking, it’s fine for us. It looks like Jeongha and Mok Minho’s party haven’t arrived yet, so we can go first and take first place.”
“Huh? Let’s go already?”
“While the other kids haven’t arrived yet, we need to move forward as much as possible and widen the gap in advance.”
The time Kim Gun-woong spent in the hot spring area was not very long.
However, after finishing his errand, he immediately tried to resume his exploration of the dungeon.
Eunha looked puzzled at Kim Geon-woong, who suddenly ordered her to pack up the tent and prepare to leave.
“Hey, just leave me alone.”
The faces of Kim Gun-woong’s party members showed signs of exhaustion.
Some party members looked dissatisfied with the orders he gave.
Even though I know that.
Kim Gun-woong’s attitude was stubborn.
Meanwhile, there was one familiar face among them.
“Why are you there?”
“…You didn’t let me into the party.”
“…Is that so? I don’t know because I didn’t make the party.”
There was also Icheon-seo.
He also looked tired.
Eunha patted his shoulder as he made a face saying it was too much.
“Today, we will go down to the 4th basement floor and rest there. Let’s do our best a little longer.”
Eventually, the students had no choice but to pack their bags and leave their regrets behind.
They leave the hot spring area.
Eunha looked at them in bewilderment as they left after barely eating.
“Geonwoong is not that type of kid….”
“You have to take care of the condition of the party members… Besides, you are not running the party, but rather forming a solidarity that unites several parties.
Especially when it comes to operating… . “It’s the worst.”
Seona, who was also a direct descendant of KK Pharmaceuticals, knew Kim Geon-woong somewhat well.
So she cast a concerned gaze on those who were exhausted.
Meanwhile, Kaede, who was by her side, did not seem to like the way he was running the party.
It was then.
“─I can understand Kim Gun-woong’s feelings a little.”
As if Yoo Do-jun was no big deal.
He said as he finished drinking his coffee.
Then he opened his mouth in a casual tone.
“Considering Gunwoong’s current position, it’s not something you can’t understand.” “Where to wear it?”
“Yes, the location. The location of the academy.”
Eunha asked back.
Yoo Do-jun added.
The eyes of the three people turned to him.
“When we entered the middle school academy, factional fighting was in full swing at the academy. At that time, there were five groups of direct descendants attending the academy: Youngwon, Alice, Galaxy, KK, and Dangun.”
“””…….”””
Yoo Do-jun raised one hand.
He held out his hand with his fingers pointed towards the three people.
“But look?” “””…….”””
“Eunha, you and I got along well. Thanks to that, me and Hayang got along well too. In a way, you could say this is like joining hands with Alice and Youngwon, right?”
Yoo Do-jun put two fingers together.
He continued.
“But Hong Jin-woo of Dangun Group suddenly died?”
Yoo Do-jun folded one finger.
Now the five factions were divided into three.
“And then Choi Ga-in ended up dying last year?”
Yoo Do-jun folds one more finger.
There were five factions, but now only two remain.
“The Warring States Period, which was made up of five factions, now only has two remaining. But one side, we, have so much influence that it overwhelms the other?”
“””…….”””
“Think about last year’s year-end party. How much did our name value in the academy go up after Choi Ga-in died? Everyone at the academy was anxious to attend the party hosted by Hayang.”
In silence.
Eunha confirmed Yoo Do-jun’s words.
Looking back, at some point the academy began to revolve around myself and my friends.
The war of nerves between groups disappeared.
Now, the students attending the academy bowed their heads in front of the names Sirius, Eternal, and Alice Group.
The students were trying to somehow form a connection with Noh Eun-ha’s division.
“From Geonwoong’s perspective, he can’t help but feel impatient. The reason the group’s direct line members usually enter the academy is to get players who are loyal to the group on their side in advance, but in this case, all the academy students ended up coming to us.” “””…….”””
“Besides, Eunha, you got engaged to Han Seohyun and started dating Hayang, so the alliance between Sirius and Alice has become even stronger.”
For Kim Gun-woong, there would have been only one way to turn this situation around.
You have to make a contribution somehow.
He must win the favor of students with achievements that can overshadow those of Noh Eun-ha.
So he is trying to turn the situation around by using Jongpyeong as an opportunity.
“That’s what she was thinking. I had no idea….”
Eunha was reminded of Kim Geon-woong’s hard work.
It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.
So he stared blankly at the spot where Kim Gun-woong had left.
☆
The evening of the second day of the Academy Dungeon.
As academy students arrive at the hot spring area one after another─.
“—I missed you so much!”
“You came later than the other parties. Did something happen?” “I ended up going down a side street because of Blue Oppa… hehe.”
Miss Jeong’s party has arrived.
Eunha smiled bitterly as she hugged Jeong Ha, who immediately ran towards her as soon as she found her.
The child is covered in sweat.
It looks like you went through a lot of trouble.
“Are you hungry? I brought some eggs for you, so take them when you go into the bathhouse later.”
“Wow, really?”
“Okay. You know you shouldn’t tell anyone about this, right? There aren’t many eggs, so just eat them among yourselves.” “Yes! I’ll eat well!”
Eunha looked down at Jeongha, who raised her head in her arms.
He reached out and wiped the dirt from her cheek.
Then she laughed brightly, wondering what was so good about it.
Soon she opened her mouth.
“─So you missed me?”
“…….”
The answer is yes.
This is the answer.
He belatedly realized that what he was doing was not what he was saying, and tried to escape from his embrace or not.
“ah….”
“Do you really have to say that?”
“…Once more.”
“Why? You said it was messy earlier?” “I’ll take a shower first…!”
lightly.
Noh Eun-ha kisses her lips.
The two didn’t care whether anyone else saw or not.
“I’ll just kill those guys right away…! Hurry, someone will put a bamboo spear on me!”
“Okay, okay. Subin, let’s go take a bath with me right away. Bingu is setting up the tent until we come out.”
Naturally, the students reportedly booed.
