– Volume 5 Episode 13

13. New Family (1)

[Enter the dungeon ‘Underground Tunnel – Area 5’.]

As I had heard from the Royal Knights in advance, there was no light in Area 5.

There was an impression that the glowing moss was decreasing from the 4th area, but it did not exist at all in the 5th area.

This was one of the reasons the Royal Knights could not clear Area 5.

From Area 5, it was necessary for the player to reveal his/her own sight.

He could illuminate his vision with magic such as lights and torches, but the visibility was shorter than when the glowing moss grew.

In such a situation, he could not withstand the attacks of vampires who became stronger and more clever than the previous districts as much as he thought.

“light.”

At the tip of Luna’s wand, a sphere of light slightly smaller than a human’s head rose and illuminated the surroundings.

“Oh, wait a minute.”

And when everyone was about to drink the dew of truth, Hoya stopped them.

What Hoya then did was to summon Hieros.

“Hello.”

“Hieros, I’ll ask you what I said yesterday.”

“okay!”

As Hieros swung Moanthaltium horizontally, particles of light fell on people’s heads, and a system message occurred to the guild members of the Royal Knights.

[The Spirit King of the Spirit, Hieros, grants you a light of grace.][Immunity to all status ailments is granted.]

After clearing Area 4 yesterday, Hoya summoned Hieros and asked if it was possible to prevent multiple people from getting ailments at once.

And Hieros answered it in the affirmative.

However, due to the number of people, it is said that it is only possible to do it for an hour a day.

He said he could keep a little longer if he swarm, but he didn’t want to swarm Hieros.

Hoya explained the surprise to the Royal Knights and went back to the dungeon with them.

The current visibility is about half that of shining moss, a distance just right for a surprise attack, but Hoya was taking the lead.

“there is.”

Everyone stopped on the spot at Hoya’s words, and Hoya continued while looking at the map Bane had handed him.

Not all of the 5th area was drawn, but the area where it is now was properly drawn on the map.

“It’s like I’m navigating this way from this corner to see it disappear and reappear.”

Hoya directed his gaze back on the map to the other side of the passage where darkness had not fallen.

His eyes shone blue and red dots that were twinkling in the dark.

As the name suggests, it was originally a skill to attack the opponent’s weakness as the name suggests, but Hoya was using it to search.

It consumes a lot of MP as long as you keep it, but if you drink a potion from time to time, you can use other skills at the same time without too much trouble.Although there was a problem with visibility, the worries of surprise were resolved, so Hoya and the Royal Knights began to attack the dungeon at a fast pace, and they were able to clear Area 5 in about 3 hours.

“Ugh…, it’s finally cleared! Just thinking about the dew of truth that has sprung up in Area 5 so far…!”

“Gangnam, that’s a sensitive issue for everyone, so please don’t say more.”

“Ah Okay…….”

After clearing the dungeon, Luna gave a sting to Gangnam Fire Fist, who was pouring out her sweat, and Luna approached Hoya as if she remembered something.

“Hoya-sama, I have to say this now, but was that Badu? Can’t I summon him?”

“Yes?”

“That’s why, because of the status quo, you can’t summon it. Then, can’t it be summoned for 1 hour while Hieros applies a buff?”

At Luna’s words, Hoya wanted to say goodbye.

Summoning Badu will allow you to attack the dungeon faster, and Badu also has experience points.

But, forgot that, Hoya vowed to summon Badu from the dungeon next time thanks to Luna.

“Thanks for letting me know. I forgot.”

“Thank you. Having Badu also helps electricity, so it’s for us!”

Hoya, who smiled at Luna’s answer, apologized to the Royal Knights and logged out first.

Today was a day with an important appointment that will determine his future.

* * *

“Then, I’ll start the briefing of the operation first, crew.”

“Ah yes.”

In a dark room where the light was blocked by blinds, all the lights were turned off, the only thing that was emitting light was the beam projector hanging from the ceiling.

In front of the screen illuminated by the beam projector’s light, Baek Jae-gun was wearing a suit and wearing sunglasses, setting the mood.

“It’s not, ‘Oh, yes.’ ‘Okay, Captain!’ Or ‘Yes, stand!’ Everything!”

“… First, walk the blinds and turn on the lights, right?”

“Then you can’t see the projector’s image properly! We’re briefing on an important operation right now, Daewon!”

“……”

All that comes out of the projector is white?

Where there is an important operation. Ho-young got up from her chair without saying a word, went to the window, and rolled up the blinds.

Then, the red sunset light came in through the window and colored the room red.

Baek Jae-gun, who decided that it would be unreasonable to continue the situation play when Ho-young walked through the blinds, accepted the reality, approached the wall and pressed the light switch to completely illuminate the room.

“Hoyoung-ah, if you respond so lukewarmly, this man is very sad… Can you please take a little more?”

“I’ll accept it later. Do you think you’ll continue to be my uncle from now on?”

“Ah…, ha ha ha ha.”

At Ho-young’s words, Baek Jae-geon scratched his head as if embarrassed.

Today was the day Baek Jae-gun finally decided to officially propose to Lee Ye-sook.

He wasn’t just trying to put on a strange situational play to relax his clothes and relax, but there was a reason.

“Are you going to change clothes first?”

“Huh? Is it strange? Doesn’t it suit you?”

As Baek Jae-geun was embarrassed by Ho-young’s words and turned his head to look at himself, Ho-young shook his head to the side.

“No, it suits them very well. But they give me so much strength that anyone who sees them is saying, ‘I’m proposing today.'”

“Ah…, ha ha ha ha ha…”

“As usual, I go to the movies lightly, but who wears a jacket and a vest and even a handkerchief?”

“…Sorry, I didn’t think of that.”

“Just wear it as usual. Wash off the wax on your hair quickly.”

Baek Jae-geon went into the bathroom at Ho-young’s words, removed excess wax from his hair, and put on the clothes he usually wore when meeting with Lee Ye-sook.

Hoyoung nodded at Baek Jae-gun’s appearance.

Now anyone can see it, it just looks like a normal date person.

He wouldn’t even think that he would propose.

Even though the other party already knew it.

“Is there anything that I forgot and didn’t bring?”

“Of course! I brought my wallet, cell phone, and even Cheong Shim Hwan just in case!”

“…a ring?”

“That’s of course in the inside pocket of your suit… ah!”

Baek Jae-geon, who had been waving his hands in the air in front of his chest, hurriedly went back to his room, pulled the ring out of his suit, smiled awkwardly and made up for the mistake.

It seemed like he was still very nervous.

Ho-young came close to Baek Jae-gun and grabbed his two hands tightly.

“Mister.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t be so nervous. Everything will be fine.”

“Who, who said when did you get nervous?”

“Yeah, I’ll pretend you’re not nervous. …I want you to be home when I wake up in the morning. Yes?”

“Hoyoung-ah…”

“And you have to listen to Daddy too, right? Fighting!”

“Yeah, fighting!”

As Ho-young smiled brightly, Baek Jae-gun also smiled accordingly.

“Then, do your best today. I’ll go.”

“Huh? Aren’t you going with me?”

“Why are you following me on a date with you and your mom?”

“That…, can’t we just watch from afar? I’m so nervous…”

“It’s not even possible. Besides, I already have a contract. I can’t go with you.”

The reason I came to Jaegun’s house today was purely because Hoyoung asked to meet him briefly before the scheduled appointment time.

Now it was time for Hoyoung to go because of his appointment.”That’s right…”

“Take it easy, take it easy. Mom won’t turn down your proposal to me. I’ll guarantee it as her son.”

“……okay!”

Baek Jae-geon, who was given courage by Ho-young, went straight to the meeting place with Lee Ye-sook.

It arrived 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, but Ye-Sook Lee had already arrived.

“I’m sorry, Ye-sook. I made you wait.”

“No. I came out early. What. Ummm…, I have too much time left until the movie time. Would you like to go to a cafe?”

“Is that so?”

Lee Ye-sook, who checked her time on her wrist watch, took Baek Jae-geon’s hand and led her to her cafe.

After spending time at the cafe, the two headed to the movie theater in time for the show, and the two arrived at the cinema, bought popcorn and cola, and went into the theater using the tickets they had reserved in advance.

It was a weekday evening, but the movie the two of them were about to see was almost finished, so there weren’t many audiences.

Today’s movie is a crime thriller in which the body of the person the protagonist killed appears again in front of him.

It was not a very good choice as a movie to watch before the proposal, but it was an inevitable choice because most of the movies I saw while meeting Lee Ye-suk were thrillers, action, and horror.

Suddenly, watching a romance movie that I wasn’t interested in was like saying, ‘I’m going to do something today.’

The movie has now come to an end.

Baek Jae-gun was so full of thoughts about the proposal to proceed after the movie was over that he had no idea how the movie’s story had progressed.

As she glanced at Lee Ye-sook sitting next to her, she could not take her eyes off her movie, holding her already consumed cup of Coke with both hands.

I was very curious to see how that face would change if she proposed to herself.

After a while, the movie ended and the credits went up and the lights in the theater turned on.

As they were leaving the cinema one by one, only Baek Jae-Gun did not get up.

“Jaegun, aren’t you going?”

“Yeah? Oh, wait! Hold on!”

In order to make the prepared proposal, it was necessary to go out last among the guests.

You must not leave now.

Then everything you have prepared will go in vain.

As Ye-sook Lee tilted her head at her behavior, Jae-gun Baek, who confirmed that all her guests had left, moved with her.

Then the credits went up and the sweet piano sound came through the speakers that had been turned off.

Baek Jae-gun’s heart began to pound at the sound of the piano.

What he prepared was a movie theater proposal.

While searching for various methods, he found a company called ‘My Wedding’ that rents a movie theater and helps with proposals, and he immediately consulted with the company.

As I usually enjoy watching movies, I thought that this way, I could impress you in an instant without getting caught up to the last minute.

Baek Jae-gun’s gaze turned to the screen.

‘at Las……! ……Huh?’

As originally planned, as the music played, a video created in collaboration with My Wedding had to be played on the screen of the theater.

However, the image projected on the screen now was not the one he had prepared.
