The Novel's Extra (101-200)

Chapter 152 - Three Years (6)

2029, April 3rd.

In Chameleon Troupe's secret hideout located in England's Bristol Channel, I was fully relaxed and reading a newspaper on the couch. Next to me, Boss was playing a game.

[English Royal Court guild partners with mercenary groups....]

[English Channel's high-intermediate rank monster, Megalodon, has been defeated by English Royal Court guild's Team 1. Rachel, the guild's youngest team leader, shows her exceptional skills...]

[Princess Rachel appointed as the Royal Court guild's youngest vice leader.]

[Trust in England at an all-time low.]

Currently, popularity of England's leadership was steadily going downhill. Ordinary newspapers and even the Violet Times predicted a grim future for the country.

"Hm..."

Looking at the headline, I sighed and put down the newspaper. The news I was hoping to see was nowhere to be found.

The news about 'entrance tickets' should be popping up soon. How much longer was I supposed to wait?

"Knng~"

Feeling a bit sore, I stood up and stretched. Then, I looked around Chameleon Troupe's hideout which was about 65% complete.

A lot had changed in the past 3 years. In a way, it was quite dramatic.

To be honest, I was proud of the changes I brought.

The dome ceiling above had crystal chandeliers and gem-like lights beautifully hanging down. The red, vintage-style walls were full of art Boss brought back from her secret stash.

It wasn't just the interior I was proud about. The hideout had many convenient facilities.

The goblin coffee shop in the corner of the lobby provided highest-grade coffee, and many of my magical furniture pieces were also placed around the hideout.

In the center... what was that again?

A ginormous mana crystal that was almost as big as Cheok Jungyeong's thigh was purifying the air inside the cave.

For the record, that almond-shaped crystal was something I took from Boss' secret vault. I remembered Boss throwing a tantrum about not wanting to keep it. She reluctantly agreed when I threatened that I wouldn't comb her hair ever again.

However, that was still only the tip of the iceberg. What I just described was only the hideout's lobby.

Outside the lobby, there was a hot spring, a shooting range, a training room, a library, a game room, a cafeteria, etc...

"Kuhaha—!"

The door to the lobby suddenly shot open, and a giant stormed in. Boss, who was playing a game on the couch, looked up with a frown.

"It's crazy out there, Boss!"

"...Did something happen outside?"

"Oh, Newbie! You're here too?"

Cheok Jungyeong smiled brightly as he held something up. It was a sea monster twice the size of his body.

"Monsters underwater are going crazy!"

"...Gyeong, what is that."

"A sea monster. This blind bastard kept bumping into me, so I hooked it up. It's a blue ocean fish."

Blue ocean fish. It was a delicious species of fish that was classified as a fish rather than a monster.

Hearing these three words, Boss smacked her lips. Then, she glanced up at me.
