163 Part 2
We went out of the gate and found familiar faces among a desolate background. I was relieved to see that everyone was all right. Soyoung Kang was still unconscious in Riette’s arms, and Velare was on her owner’s shoulder.
“Seokwon Choi is dead.”
Everyone looked at in surprise, and it was only natural when I had disappeared with a monster that nearly killed everyone and returned to report its death.
“Of course, I didn’t kill it, and while I cannot be specific, I had borrowed soone’s skills.”
Noah and Taewon Song looked relieved, and while the latter seed suspicious, he seed to believe after seeing Yoohyun and coming out of the dungeon. On the other hand, Riette seed sorry and then suddenly spoke to .
“Darling, be kind to your brother.”
Why in the world is she saying that?
“You should act better to Noah.”
“You don’t know because you weren’t-”
“Hunter Riette.”
Yoohyun stepped forward and stopped her in mid-sentence.
“Don’t say such nonsense.”
“I’m taking your side, you know.”
Why is she taking my brother’s side? I did not know, but it was better than her being on another side. Did she find him interesting? I wanted to say sothing, as she really would be a bad influence.
“I also think that Mr. Yoojin...”
Noah mumbled but quieted down when Yoohyun glared at him, and even Taewon Song was staring at him. What did he do...?
“Don’t pay attention to them.
They’re overreacting because they don’t know us.”
I had been surprised to see Yoohyun cry in a long ti, but Riette and Taewon Song were acting too strangely for my taste.
“I’m tired.”
“Oh?”
“I want to go ho.”
“Then let’s. Chief Song, please have these.”
I gave him the other mory marbles.
“They are mories of those who had been involved in the fog and will be automatically absorbed by its owner. I think yours is included there, and Mr. Noah, you should check also.”
They took their mories back, and they had been quite trivial. I left Taewon Song to take care of the ss, and since this had been quite an incident, I thought he would try to make us stay at once. However, he only nodded and told Yoohyun, who was an important witness, to co by tomorrow.
I took Velare back and ca back to the breeding facilities with Noah’s help, and I welcod it. I almost fell asleep in the shower, and we both imdiately passed out when we got to bed.

“He was useless to the end.”
Luga Peya’s disappointed voice rang the foggy bath, and he rubbed his chin with a long and soft tentacle. It had not been difficult to persuade that S class human to give himself over, but Luga Peya had not thought that there would be so being that could defeat one of his race.
“I thought he would ask for help, but he slipped away.”
He had tied down that man with the traces of the Crescent Moon since he was certain that the man had been chosen by the depraved in this life. So, he thought that they would not be able to intervene if the man could not move.
“Is the caretaker their choice? Why?”
Peya tilted his fifth tentacle. While caretakers were rare, there had been a number of them over ti and worlds. The depraved had never paid much attention to the caretakers all these tis.
Actually, they had thought caretakers an obstacle, as useful S classes tend to act strangely due to them. It had been common to murder caretakers before managing the world before.
While the S classes had been unnaturally sad, they had returned to their original state after a while. Even if caretakers had raised them, they were radically different, and affection was limited between them.
Therefore, Luga Peya thought this ti would be the sa. While the caretaker having Diarma’s skill was unexpected, it was presud that Hyunjae Sung had given it to him.
Hyunjae Sung was taking care of the caretaker with the magic stone, but he had taken an SSS class of the sea race to the dungeon and finished him off. While Luga Peya could not know what had happened inside, the depraved must have intervened.
So, the depraved had chosen the caretaker in this world.
“It’s not quite right.”
It was interesting, and Peya called his teati friend by pretending to call soone on an object that looked like a smartphone.
“Hey, Chatterbox.”
[What’s up? King.]
“I’m called jellyfish here.”
[Haven’t you been called that wherever there was one?]
“That’s not the important thing. Help.”
[Why? You said you would do just as much as you could.]
“There’s sothing special here. I feel that this ti is real.”
[You say that too much. Also, the newbie in that world is botherso because she’s talented, and I’m at a disadvantage.]
“Then, find one thing.”
[One thing?]
“The human corpse that the white bird took.”
That was what the caretaker cared the most about.
[The white bird? It won’t be easy.]
“Since the bird went into hiding, it’s stored sowhere. Probably where the snowing tree is.”
[It’s too wide and will take ti.]
“I’ll reward you well, so please do it as quickly as possible. Humans die too easily.”
Luga Peya was curious why the white bird had taken the corpse, and he cut the connection.
