Chapter 13

Choi Jihyeok caught all kinds of monsters popping up from all directions.

It seemed difficult because he was still an F-class Hunter, but after going to the gym every morning and running laps around the neighborhood, he seemed to be managing.

It was a bit gross, but Choi Jihyeok was slicing through his enemies fairly reliably.

"We can't use potions, so don't get hurt because I can't do anything."

"No, how can I catch them without getting hurt!?"

"Fine then, if you get hurt just die."

The time was running out faster than I thought. If the other Awakeners complete the quest, it will be a disaster.

"How do you expect me to not get hurt, damn it!?"

It was quite difficult to walk around the dungeon without encountering anyone.

Choi Jihyeok bitched and moaned, but in the end, was able to fight unscathed. Then he came next to me to look at my phone and asked,

"How much have we gathered?"

"Now I've got exactly 1,000 won."

When I proudly showed him my cell phone, Choi Jihyeok suddenly took my cell phone away and started to buy things on his own.

"Ah, what are you doing!?"

Then, in an instant, clothes fell on top of me, and I struggled to catch the falling items.

"Put it on."

Despite his own bruises, Choi Jihyeok roughly wrapped a cloak around me along with other additional accessories that had fallen off.

I was dumbfounded.

"No, you have to buy a potion. Why did you get these-"

"Don't you know? If you get bitten by a monster, you'll die instantly."

"But how can you spend all our money on me!?"

I almost cried when I saw my balance on the top of my phone. Ahh, I had just saved 1,000 won and now we can only afford to eat bread again.

"It's a defensive item that can even protect from an A-class blow."

"Ah, yes. Thank you. Now let's have our round of bread. Wow."

"Why're you complaining?"

"Oh, that can't be."

I glared at Choi Jihyeok once and looked at the map he had bought before screaming.

"I have to get in there."

I pointed to a small star on the map.

Choi Jihyeok frowned for a moment and examined the map in more detail.

"We can't go round the back, so we'll enter at the side."

"Okay. If something comes up from behind, I'll stab its eyes with a knife!"

"... just tell me if that happens."

I held Choi Jihyeok's old sword and made a fuss, and he snatched the sword away from me with cold eyes.

"Ah, why are you stealing it?!"

"Can't you just stay still and be safe?"

Choi Jihyeok was a bit protective of me.

No, he was obviously overprotective. Well, I knew he was doing it with a good heart, so I didn't have anything to say... but it was true it felt a bit unfair.
