The Shadow Monarch Izuku Midoriya

Ch 30: Discovered Part 4

"Talk"

'Thought'

[System]

The "(Y/N)" kept blinking in front of his eyes.

What kind of an idiot would throw this chance away? Izuku prepared to accept the quest, but stopped instinctively and thought, 'Wait.'

There was no knowing what kind of a quest he would receive. The instinctive hesitation was followed by a feeling of caution.

They were in the most dangerous place in the world right now. Even if he had gotten used to the C-rank Dungeons, a Dungeon was a Dungeon. There was no need to ignorantly invite danger here.

On top of that, Yoo Jin was also here. It wasn't that he didn't trust the young man. But there was no need to clue him in on the System or show him a strange phenomenon that may appear when he accepted the quest. Things might get complicated if he did.

What if the quest suddenly spawned monsters?

Izuku thought, 'Well, just that would be fine. But Yoo might get hurt.'

He just had to take them down as fast as possible. But from his experience, a mere monster hunting was not the limit of the quests. For example, the 2 emergency quests he had to complete.

It was a faint possibility, probably not a realistic one, but Izuku was not about to risk it. While he was lost in thought, Yoo Jin ran up to him.

It looked like the lizardmen magician's last attack landed near the young man, his face was covered with soot and dust and Yoo said, "I just saw you disappear and reappear! You had a skill like that?"

Despite of his dirtied face, Yoo Jin's eyes were sparkling with awe. It seemed that the young man was fascinated by seeing the rare skill.

Instead of replying, Izuku took out a handkerchief from his inventory; it was one of the random items received from a daily quest.

Izuku roughly wiped Yoo Jin's face with the handkerchief.

The clean, white handkerchief quickly turned black. Izuku handed the item to Yoo Jin. The young man looked at the dirty cloth and realized what his face was like. He walked away and quietly cleaned his face.

Izuku said, "Yoo Jin."

Yoo said, "Yes, Midoriya-sama."

Izuku said, "Something came up."

Yoo Jin turned his face towards him with surprising alacrity.

Izuku said, "After finishing up here."

Yoo said, "I understand. I'll cancel the reservation on the remaining Gates."

Yoo Jin did not want to show Izuku his disappointment, but he deeply regretted the fact that they would have to give-up on the remaining 3 Gates.

To the young man who did not particularly have a source of income, the "funds" for his plan came from the allowance that he had saved up until now. Because he was acting without his father's knowledge, he could not easily access the family's money in his plan. If he cancelled the reservations, he would not be able to get the fees back. It would be money down the drain. Because of the unusual method in their Raiding, he had to spend a lot more than he had budgeted for. To think that he would be wasting the reservation fees for today... Yoo Jin's shoulders sunk.

But Izuku replied with a calm expression, "Why would you cancel it? It's so wasteful."

Yoo Jin tilted his head in confusion and said, "Hmm? If we reserve a Gate and not enter it in two days, the raiding rights are automatically forfeited, Midoriya-sama."
