Regression Of The Dating Sim Player - CH 37
“Where the hell are you hurt?” Ye-Hyeon asked.
“You’re all cold-hearted.” Ye-Hyeon continued.
“No, we are not.” the rest of the hunter replied.
“Here, I got hurt here.” Yoon Seung-Jae jumped and pointed to the back of his hand.
When he looked closely, the back of Yoon Seung-Jae’s hand was only swollen red; like it was only lightly bumped while swinging his sword. He was relieved. He was worried the injury was going to be severe.
“Yoon Seung-Jae?” Ye-Hyeon asked.
“Hyung, It hurts. Hurry up.” Yoon Seung-Jae whined. He acted like a baby.
Ye-Hyeon burst out laughing and said, “It’s better if you put saliva on it.”
“You should kiss it better.”
“Oh my gosh. What are you saying??”
“Will you do it for me?”
Yoon Seung-Jae smiled broadly and put his hand into Ye-Hyeon’s mouth.
He didn’t even think about getting angry at Yoon Seung-Jae’s childish behavior.
Ye-Hyeon grabbed Yoon Seung-Jae’s wrist and pulled it down to heal.
He was going to test whether the amount of mana consumption varies depending on the severity of the wound or the amount of times he can use the skill without consuming a potion during an expedition.
Thanks to mana potion in his inventory, he does not need to worry about being unable to heal, at least for now.
“Do you know how surprised I was when you got hurt,” Yoon Seung-Jae asked?
“Did you.” Ye-Hyeon replied.
Yoon Seung-Jae was in a good mood even though Ye-Hyeon was grumbling.
[System] The intimacy of ‘Target 4: Yoon Seung-Jae’ has increased by 1 point.
[system] You got 10 points for intimacy.
‘I don’t know how to feel,’ Ye-Hyeon thought.
Ye-Hyeon pursed his mouth and pressed Yoon Seung-Jae’s head with his hands.
Yoon Seung-Jae complained again that he was hurt, but he didn’t listen.
While Ye-Hyeon was taking revenge on Yoon Seung-Jae, Shin Do-Gyeom collected all the arrows and approached Kwon Joo-ho. He seemed hostile.
Ye-Hyeon stopped playing with Yoon Seung-Jae and looked at Shin Do-Gyeom worriedly.
“You catch the guys that the Tanker is holding on to. I can take care of the backside.” Shin Do-Gyeom states. His tone was sharp and direct. The tone left no room for arguments.
He then looked at the Grave Dog’s body, which was laid out with its neck cut open.
“..It’s dangerous,” Kwon Joo-Ho calmly responded.
In contrast to Shin Do-Gyeom’s voice, Kwon Joo-Ho’s voice (the first time Ye-Hyeon heard it), was deep and tickled his ears.
“Dangerous or not, I’ll take care of myself. I’m not who you’re supposed to protect. Don’t be mistaken.” Shin Do-Gyeom responded as he took a step closer to Kwon Joo-Ho, while smirking.
Luckily,Kwon Joo-Ho didn’t respond to the aggression and he backed down.
If one of the two had been more experienced, they would have been more compromising; but because they were both equal, they tend to butt heads frequently.
“What’s wrong with him?”
Yoon Seung-Jae reacted uninterestedly, but Ye-Hyeon was worried. He needed to stop them from fighting. If this conflict continues, it will become a worse problem someday.
While Ye-Hyeon hesitated, Baek Hae-Won suddenly stepped between the two.
“Come on, calm down.”
Baek Hae-Won lightly touched them with his hands and tried to reduce the tense atmosphere.
“Shall we move over there and talk about it? The smell of blood here is terrible.”
He tried to move them, but couldn’t.
“Everyone did well considering it was their first time.”
Baek Hae-Won, who stopped far away, opened his mouth and tried to praise them, but No one was happy because it was obviously an empty praise.
Baek Hae-Won looked at Yoon Seung-Jae with a sweet smile that seemed like honey would drip down despite the cold reaction.
“Seung-Jae, your ability is supposed to strengthen the shield, right? You should refrain from going back to the monster until provocation occurs. If you disappear from view, the Agro will bounce to another place like before. When you can’t avoid it, you have to make a loud noise to attract their attention. The tank without the provocation skill should compensate by acting loudly.”
“Yes, but I threw the monster well in the end.” Yoon Seung-Jae replied bravely.
His sparkling eyes were cute.
Ye-Hyeon’s pursed mouth loosened.
“Do-Gyeom, it’s a good posture to maintain an aggressive attitude without being afraid. But when the formation is disturbed, the priority is to keep your distance from the monster. The advantage of your bow is that you can attack from a long distance. Make sure you step back and be safe.”
“It’s okay to avoid confronting monsters who are close to you,” Baek Hae-Won said firmly, glancing at Shin Do-Gyeom’s thigh dagger.
Since it was Shin Do-Gyeom, not anyone else, the arrow would not have missed no matter how close or far the target is; but if the arrow had missed, Shin Do-Gyeom would have intended to take out his dagger and fight.
Ye-Hyeon hesitated, recalling Shin Do-Gyeom’s fighting style.
Certainly, the situation earlier was close even in retrospect.
Now, Shin Do-Gyeom is slower than Shin Do-Gyeom Ye-Hyeon knows.
If it was the Shin Do-Gyeom that Ye-Hyeon knew, he would have blown the monster’s head before Kwon Joo-ho could cut it.
“Lastly, Kwon Joo-Ho responded quickly to an unexpected situation. But you don’t have to deal with all the monsters alone. We’re a party. You weren’t aware of Do-Gyeom’s attack until the arrow came, right? Monsters that can be dealt with a single attack must be entrusted to the long-range damage dealer. It’s good to distribute Monster Agro, which was driven by Seung-Jae, in moderation.”
Baek Hae-Won’s advice was neat, clear and detailed.
The brutal atmosphere has eased quite a bit.
Ye-Hyeon had no choice but to admit it. It is fortunate that Baek Hae-Won is their mentor.
It was a naive and stupid of him to be confident that there would be no problem by taking those three together.
Ye-Hyeon could leak information about gates or monsters, but he could not give proper feedback on battles like Baek Hae-Won.
Without Baek Hae-Won, he would have entered the dungeon with other hunters, and the atmosphere would be worse and they would be ridiculed by other hunters due to their poor teamwork.
It would probably be out of control!
The mere thought made him sick and tired.
Ye-Hyeon’s face turned white.
The party made slow but steady progress.
Shin Do-Gyeom and Kwon Joo-Ho continued their cold war, but fortunately, Baek Hae-Won’s advice greatly helped. They were much better than before.
The Grave Dogs were fast and even though they suffered minor injuries, they were easily dispatched. The dogs did not pose any threat. Sometimes, however, Baek Hae-Won had to get rid of some of the dogs before the battle.
“Gaaaaah!” Baek Hae-Won screamed as he casted his spells.
“Wow…” Ye-Hyeon muttered as he stared at the burning flame with rapt attention.
The heat pierced his skin even though he was far away.
Flame wizards were very common. Ye-Hyeon encountered all kinds of flame magic, but Baek Hae-Won’s skills were different in terms of basic power.It seemed to melt the whole space.
There was not a single piece left where the bright red flame was extinguished.
No matter how low the level the Grave Dog was, it was not easy to burn it with the most firepower.
Isn’t he only Class-A?
It can’t be.
It was when Kwon Joo-ho handled the last monster.
“Watch out for the tunnel behind you!”
Baek Hae-Won shouted, then a grave dog attacked Shin Do-Gyeom.
Baek Hae-Won lifted the staff high and stopped casting when he saw Yoon Seung-Jae blocking it with a shield.
Ye-Hyeon approached Yoon Seung-Jae to see if he was hurt because he thought the battle was over.
[System] The intimacy of ‘Target 3: Shin Do-Gyeom’ has decreased by 2 points.
‘What? Did you just aim at me, Shin Do-Gyeom? When I thought it was quiet for a while, the intimacy dropped by two points.’
Ye-Hyeon, who confirmed the -36 points written in the target window, laughed in amazement
After the party, Shin Do-Gyeom seemed particularly sensitive.It seemed like he didn’t mind being around strangers, but after he and Kwon Joo-Ho started to quarrel, Shin Do-Gyeom was like a walking time bomb.
Even though Ye-Hyeon is with Shin Do-Gyeom, the intimacy was dropping, so he was frustrated.
