Chapter 96: Returning Hero
Baiant iant monster—fell, diced into such sinal shape The rock-like re Hawa nodded mindlessly as she watched Chi-Woo clap his hands clean
In the beginning of their tiether in the sanctuary, Hawa had doubted at times whether Chi-Woo was really a hero Noever, all her suspicions and doubts were gone, and she attributed Chi-Woo’s aardness in close-quarter combat to the fact that he wasn’t a warrior; there was no doubt he had in spades all the other necessary skills in battle froic mind
‘One or two of them… I can deal with just fine, but it’ll be difficult for ht while looking at the giant monster he had destroyed He nohy Ru Ah Chi-Woo had gotten stronger, he wouldn’t survive if he was surrounded by dozens of these h he had been worried that the fortresswith monsters, it seeiant ht Those that had fallen off the cliff with him last time must have died, or there could be some other reason he wasn’t aware of now Whatever it was, it was o” After finishi+ng off the giant uidance again Chi-Woo’s guess that the number of monsters at the Evalaya mountain had decreased was soon proven correct, and hemonster that screeched ‘Biip, Biiip!’ loudly as soon as it saa and Chi-Woo But unlike before, they didn’t get surrounded by herds of nored the lone rew frustrated and caet its neck severed by Chi-Woo Peace returned to the ain
The fortress they arrived at wasn’t that different from the last fortress they went to There were hardly any civilian areas, but were instead filled with defense e rooround Just in case, Chi-Woo searched every nook and cranny of the fortress, but didn’t find e, they were able to look through it by sunset, but Chi-Woo’s hands were still e to replace the rags he’d been wearing as clothes
‘Should we return…?’ Chi-Woo s he had just wasted his time when Hawa suddenly said that she found food Chi-Woo followed Hawa to the area skeptically, but when he saw hidden food supplies inside the walls, his mouth dropped open
“How did you find it?”
“Even the guardian of Saleination,” Hawa spoke as if finding these supplies wasn’t a big deal even though she had been working hard to look for theht, where would I hide my food supplies if I were hiet a clue from what that princess boasted about”
Chi-Woo reuardian of Sale Thus, he asked curiously, “What was the clue?”
“Do you want to know?”
“Yup”
“I will tell you if you grant htest change of expression Chi-Woo set her revenge
“I will ask Eshnunna later then,” Chi-Woo responded coolly, and Hawa turned her head while clicking her tongue
“By the way…there’s quite a good a at the sacks of food that filled up one part of the wall No wonder the inside of the room looked small compared to the exterior “We probably won’t be able to take everything, right?”
“Probably” Hawa hung her head, and Chi-Woo nodded Then the ball that had been sitting on his shoulders shook its entire body
“What the fuck?!” So surprised by the sudden presence he felt on his shoulder, Chi-Woo accidentally cursed He hadn’t sensed this presence with synesthesia or his ESP ‘What is it?’ After cal that was still twisting its body all around
First of all, the thing was quite ss that he soht in the streets Not only was its size similar, but it also looked like a bun save for the semi-transparent, watery insides
“…What are you?”
“Pyu” Not even a ‘Kyu’, but ‘Pyu’ It was a little cute when it chirped like that
“What is that?” Hawa asked
“I don’t know It looks like a slime, but…is there a slime like this?”
Hawa narrowed her eyes and observed the slime closely
‘Do you knohat it is?’ Chi-Woo was about to ask Mi jumped down from his shoulder “Byu!”
It bounced to the pile of food supplies
“Ba—ump” It widened itsand puzzling sight, as the bun-sized thing had soer than it was Chi-Woo stared at it blankly, but when it sed another sack, he hastily tried to stop it
“Nonono! Hey, hey! No! You can’t eat that!” Chi-Woo grabbed the bun and lifted it up to shake it so that it would throw the sacks back out
“Blu—rp” Ba dropped on Chi-Woo’s nose with a thud, and Chi-Woo opened his ain The sacks the bun had eaten were dropping out of it now
‘How…did this guy…?’ Chi-Woo wondered as the bun repeatedly sed the sacks and spat it back out again
“…A bag?” Hawa said while tilting her head
“You think it’s a bag?”
“Yes, I think it’s trying to show us that it can take these sacks”
Then so came out of this bun’s body, which soon took the shape of a hand giving a thumbs-up After a three-second pause, Chi-Woo let out a deep breath and asked, “Is that perhaps…you?”
“Byu,” the bun replied It was hard to tell what it was saying, but it seeher
“I see It is you! It’s you!” The bun bounced up and down in agreement “Hah! So you decided to come out!”
Hawa looked back and forth between Chi-Woo and the uesses Not knowing that Chi-Woo had conals, Hawa couldn’t guess the identity of this jelly bun
After their reunion greeting, Chi-Woo waited until the bun finished storing all the sacks inside itself It surprised hier than its size one after another He almost wanted to cut it open with a scalpel to see what there was After his new ‘bag’ had stored all the food supplies, Chi-Woo went down the Evalaya
“Okay, so tell me what e in heart?”
“Byu, byubyu, byubyubyubyu”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Byu…byu, byubyubyu byu”
“I see But to tell you the truth, I don’t really knohat you are saying”
“…”
“Anyways, I think you have ht decision You should live your own life noithout thinking about your purpose” Chi-Woo laughed and gazed at the bun on his shoulders and asked, “So, are you going to be with ?”
“Byu! Byubyubyu byubyubyu… Byubyu?”
“Well, there will be no probleain some time later Let me see” Chi-Woo licked his lips “I can’t just call you, ‘you’, and since you decided to start anehy don’t we make a new name for you…?”
The steamed bun looked expectantly at Chi-Woo Chi-Woo conteainst his left palood idea “Oh yeah What about we just use the sound you make and call you pyupyu? How about it, pyupyu? Don’t you like how cute your name is?”
Slap! Chi-Woo’s face turned to the side The steamed bun had created a hand and slapped Chi-Woo as soon as it heard its new narily yelled, “What the heck? Why did you slap rily yelled back at him, “Pyu!”
