(Should we do it to this extent?)

The meeting doubling as information delivery continued for over 4 hours.

The selected 22 people and 5 reserve personnel, plus Luna and Rafina, there were considerably many things to talk about.

“Yes. The organized information seems enough.”

The notes filled in his notebook had no lack.

Because the subjugation scene is already being drawn in his head.

(So how do you think it will be? Even if the Snow Drake comes out as level 300, it won’t be easy.)

Even by the standards of the Advance Party, a level 300 field boss is a considerably difficult opponent.

If it is a structure where re-challenges are possible multiple times, one can supplement it in stages, but this time is different.

Because they must succeed in the subjugation utilizing the first entry right given to Black Dragon.

“Rather than level, how well they follow my plan will be important. During combat, situations change every second, so corresponding immediately is the key.”

(Although I picked people who can communicate, isn’t it hard to observe and command all the attack squad members?)

“It’s fine for this attack squad. Because I will catch the big frame before entering the citadel.”

(…You express that with ‘fine’.)

Unlike ordinary games, in RP it’s difficult to even put all the attack squad members in one glance.

Furthermore, to look at the movements of dozens of Advance Party members and command them in a battlefield where a powerful boss like the Snow Drake goes wild?

The figures capable of that count on one hand.

If this subjugation ends successfully, what kind of aftermath will storm again.

Luna became sincerely curious about that.

(The briefing you proceed with before entering the citadel must be important. Still, since they are people who rolled hard, their understanding will be fast. As for Haemu… we’ll have to hope he comes on time.)

“You don’t need to worry too much about that Advance Party member called Haemu. Because I think I know what role would be good to give him.”

601st place Advance Party member Haemu.

His ability is related to mist just like his name.

Assassination lines such as stealth, disturbance, and sudden attacks, and magic such as protection and blocking.

It’s a type much more difficult and powerful than skills normally using shadows.

It’s not a hidden skill, but it was safe to see it as having similar value.

(Just how you will use that human is the most curious thing. Then do I see you tomorrow?)

“Ah, if you are okay with it, could you log in at 4 PM in the afternoon? I have a little something to tell you after receiving items from Vestige. I would be grateful if you come to the Adventurer Guild in Ifrit.”

(Good. Then I will see you at 4 PM locally. If you need anything else tell me anytime.)

“Yes, thank you.”

Click-

The conversation wrapped up with a greeting as the end.

Han-bit who stretched out his body went to the living room.

“You’re coming out now. Shall I set up a meal?”

His mother, who had come home at some point, raised her body from the room.

Han-bit who quickly approached sat his mother back down and spoke.

“I will set it up and eat it by myself. And I will make lunch tomorrow, so don’t do anything else.”

“You? You’re going to cook?”

His mother opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Although there was a time he helped with these and those preparations, he had never properly cooked.

‘It was a bit ambiguous to cook.’

After being discharged from the military he couldn’t cook at home.

Because he became busy immediately going to a company… would be a pointless excuse.

“My cooking improved a lot. I’ll make something delicious for you.”

“If you burn the pot, you know right?”

“Ah, really. Why would I burn a pot?”

“Hmm…….”

His mother squinted her eyes and predicted her son’s future.

Of course there was no reason to stop him from doing something he wanted to do.

“Got it. Try making an effort so Mom doesn’t starve for lunch.”

“Look forward to it. I’ll make words of ‘make it again’ come out.”

“Yes yes, Mr. Son. Please definitely make it like that.”

Han-bit who exchanged such jokes immediately set up a late dinner and ate.

The reason the cooking story came out was one.

Because he has to make food for the attack squad members tomorrow.

Thinking about that, he got the desire to serve his mother first.

Although the type would be completely different.

“Shall I try again.”

Han-bit, who returned to his room, sat at the desk.

Han-bit turning his gaze to his notebook started to organize detailed directions.

***

Next day’s lunch.

Han-bit who came back from grocery shopping prepared food with the vigor of doing a competition even.

The menu was mostly things his mother liked, such as japchae, seasoned bellflower root, braised short ribs, and mushroom soybean paste stew.

“…You are saying you did all this?”

His mother sitting at the neatly set dining table opened her eyes wide.

“You watched from behind the whole time. Try eating it quickly.”

Han-bit, who sat on the opposite side, gestured.

His mother making a puzzled expression scooped the stew and brought it to her mouth.

“……?”

Eyes widening once again upon feeling the taste.

His mother picked up chopsticks and quickly tasted the other foods.

Seeing that appearance Han-bit asked with a smile.

“Delicious right?”

“You, where did you learn cooking?”

Foods surprisingly delicious one by one.

It was amazing to the point of wondering if he hadn’t dreamed of being a chef.

“I learned it here and there in the military. I should eat together too.”

Han-bit who brought out an appropriate answer started the meal together.

It was a mother sending an absurd gaze, but soon moved the hand holding her spoon.

“Did you eat well?”

Han-bit who finished the meal and washing dishes asked his mother organizing the dining table.

“Of course I ate well. I could get treated to it every day.”

“I will. Excluding your working hours, breakfast and dinner…….”

“I can’t even make a joke. Trying to take away even my joy of cooking for my son?”

The joke-filled conversation continued biting the tail.

Han-bit who chatted thoroughly returned to his room again.

“3 PM is… perfectly fitting.”

Checking the time, he wore the gear and lay on the bed.

The connection screen popping up and his vision becoming clear.

The place Han-bit is standing is in front of the player cooking station in Ifrit’s shopping street.

‘The cooking is all prepared.’

Flaming Honey Fruit Punch made for the attack squad members.

10 million gold just went into ingredient costs alone, but it wasn’t a waste at all.

Because unlike the time when he only tried to obtain the inheritance, this time he has to subjugate the Snow Drake.

Ding-

At that time, an mail arrived along with an alarm sound.

The sender was Vestige’s Advance Party member Titan.

「Titan」

「I obtained all the promised items. Since I sent everything including the things obtained together please check. I also kept the acquisition video on record.」

The two Advance Party members who safely fulfilled the promise within 24 hours.

Han-bit who scanned the list sent a reply.

「Black Dragon」

「You suffered a lot. Then try proceeding slowly with the blocked episode first, and if you have questions contact me comfortably anytime.」

「Titan」

「I am already moving. If it’s as per the information you told me it will end within today, so I will continue with the next one immediately.」

He specifically inserted the word ‘comfortably’, but it didn’t hold much meaning.

Because Breaker and Titan who played all night were already full of enthusiasm.

The information on dungeons, monsters, terrain, etc. Han-bit delivered for item farming.

The two Advance Party members realized by playing directly that those detailed things didn’t diverge by a single word.

Naturally trust in the player named Black Dragon had no choice but to form.

‘Anyway their abilities are solid.’

The two people splendidly kept their promise.

It would be good to slip them a small hint as well next time.

Han-bit closing the message immediately examined the first item.

[Bell that Rings Awakening]

Rank: 6

Grade: Hero

Description: An item that can be obtained with low probability from the guardian protecting the gold bars piled up in the sea cave. It draws out the potential of party players and increases all stats by 30 percent for a short time.

Upon using it 3 times, it is completely destroyed and vanishes.

A loot that could be obtained from a monster called the Guardian of Gold Bars.

In the other world, it was an effect affecting an extremely narrow scope, but in the game it was restricted to the party.

Even if the performance itself is good, its meaning is ambiguous by attack squad standards.

However, a method to supplement this problem was held in Han-bit’s hand.

[Horn of the Soul]

Rank: 4

Grade: Unique

Description: A horn that produces sounds shaking the soul. It strengthens the abilities and mental power of living beings within a specific range.

‘It’s a relief I didn’t use it.’

The item obtained in the Dungeon – Irtelogger’s Aquarium.

Originally he intended to use it in the Ifrit episode.

Thanks to circumstances different from the past he created the best results without even using it though.

Srrk-

Han-bit immediately pulled out the second item attached to the mailbox.

[Production Cube of Chaos and Confusion]

Rank: ?

Grade: ?

Description: In chaos and confusion you shall see darkness and light.

The reward the two Advance Party members obtained from the first dungeon.

It is an unpredictable object exactly as felt from its name and description.

Should it be said that putting materials in the pitch-black cube mixes them up randomly.

Of course depending on the combination a very successful production comes out sometimes, so the potential is on the high side.

‘I will do production later, this side is an object to use in the Tower of Whirlpool and…….”

Han-bit organized his thoughts scanning the rest of the list.

Meanwhile, as the promised time approached already, he straightforwardly moved his steps to the Adventurer Guild.

“Hello?”

Luna was already waiting at the building entrance.

Rafina standing next to her is waiting with an excited expression for Han-bit to approach.

“Hello. You came together?”

“Yes. Rafina also hit it off well in the Garden and…….”

“I succeeded in contracting with Intermediate Spirits!”

As if she couldn’t hold it back, Rafina approached one step and raised her voice.

Fortunately it seemed she finished much earlier than Han-bit’s expected time.

“Congratulations. You finally crossed a big mountain.”

“Yes! All of it was possible because Black Dragon-nim took me to the Garden. Thank you so much!”

Contracting with Intermediate Spirits has quite a big meaning.

Because even if you have talent, it is something demanding a tremendously long time depending on situations.

“The skills are still not yet right?”

“The skills I think need a bit more communion. I just made the contract so…….”

Spirit skills can also be learned from spirits.

However, contrary to learning from a Spirit Summoner, there’s a strong tendency for it to be a bit simpler and focused on the element itself itself.

For Han-bit who possesses Element Awakening and Title effects, it wasn’t a technique needed right away.

“You’ll probably be able to learn it soon. Because communion and contract are the hardest territories.”

“Yes! I will try learning it quickly!”

Rafina hardening her resolve while nodding her head.

Luna who was having fun watching that conversation suddenly asked.

“More than that, did you receive the promised items well?”

“I received them earlier. Ah, the reason I asked you to meet Luna-ssi is because of this item…….”

Han-bit pulled out a red mask and handed it to her.

The ‘Mask of Frenetic Dance’ the Vestige Advance Party members brought from yet another dungeon.

Just like its name, it wasn’t an item with sane contents.

[Mask of Frenetic Dance]

Rank: 6

Grade: Unique

Description: A mask worn by a crazy ghost dancing. The player who wears the mask has weakened physical control, but is granted outstanding combat abilities. Only a female player can equip it.

The mask breaks after 1 use, and transitions into a material item.

“It’s a fascinating item.”

Luna showed interest examining the information.

She who was fingering the mask smirked and continued her words.

“Could I use this?”

“…Yes?”

Han-bit was flustered at the abruptly brought out words.

Because his original goal was to receive recommendations for users.

“The feeling of having your physical control taken away will be considerably unpleasant. Wouldn’t it be better to recommend a person in the attack squad who is appropriate to pour out firepower and rest?”

“Then it means I just don’t have to get it taken away right?”

“That’s true but…….”

When Han-bit had possessed the body of a certain female adventurer, he had experience equipping this mask.

An unpleasant sensation as if someone stuck a remote control into the brain and moved it.

Moreover, the feeling of getting hit right while knowing it was close to humiliation.

“It’s fine. Try believing me once.”

Luna showed a smile as if the reaction was fun.

The risk that physical control weakens was only an element of fun to her.

Is it because the confidence that she could overcome that and her abilities were also sufficient.

“…I understand. If a problem occurs I will immediately take action.”

Han-bit who finished the arrangement like that headed to the building behind the Adventurer Guild together with the two people.

A space like a strategy meeting room players can use.

As they arrived at the room of the promised number, faces of Advance Party members entered his eyes.

‘Haemu is not here.’

Exactly only the expected person wasn’t at their seat.

Han-bit, who had exchanged contacts through Luna during the morning, looked at them and spoke.

“Thank you for coming. Then we will begin the Snow Drake walkthrough briefing right away.”
