How to Get on the Main Character’s Flower Path

“I want to get back out the gate.”

Choi Soojung looked back with an expressionless expression.

“Mmhm, Something seems strange.”

Sorry, but that won’t do.

This is the Golden Goblin event that occurred, though.

“Junior, you thought you knew my situation? That’s how much your brain doesn’t spin?”

“I know. Your lineage, your past. That’s why I dragged you to this dungeon.”

“Aha. Can I see that as meaning that you want to die here?”

The wind swirled in Choi Soojung’s hands. Oh my, how scared I am.

“W-Wait! Rather than fighting each other, wouldn’t it be better to go out and improve our posture now?” 

“We can’t go out. It’s that kind of event.”

The wind in Choi Soojung’s hand condensed even stronger. But that wind won’t be able to shoot towards me.

“If you kill me now, Kang Nahyun and you will both die here.”

“What?”

“This is the Temple of the Beast. A place where the tower’s beasts come for trials.”

I said in a happy voice. I couldn’t help but be happy.

Because,

“But I know the strategy.”

Because I’m the one who has the upper hand in negotiations.

“There is a reason why Senior must return alive, right?”

Choi Soojung frowned even more, but eventually released the wind that had been gathering in her hands. It’s as expected.

“…So, what can I do?”

Kang Nahyun asked in fear. Well, I felt a little sorry for her because she was just caught up in the conflict.

Still, this girl is essential to breaking the maze.

I didn’t bother to stop the corners of my lips from rising.

“Conquer the maze.”

Now, it’s time for an exciting treasure hunt game.

“I’ll start with a briefing. Sit down, Senior.”

Kang Nahyun quickly ran towards me, and Choi Soojung walked behind her, glaring at me. The staring gaze is extremely stinging.

She can’t hurt me now anyway, so there’s no need to worry. After leaving the maze, I can just throw some bait and trade again.

I took out the chalk and wrote on the stone floor.

‘Maze’, ‘Trap’, ‘Letter’, ‘Clairvoyance’.

“First of all, do you see that door over there? If you go through that door, the maze begins. Once you enter, it’s one of two things. Either die or get out alive.”

I grinned.

“You can’t come back out through that door.”

Kang Nahyun began to tremble again. As expected, she looks like a puppy.

“Anyway… There are all kinds of traps in the maze, and hints are written near these traps in letters written by beastmen. A hint to avoid the trap.”

I confidently pointed at myself.

“And I can interpret the letters.”

I felt Kang Nahyun looking at me with bright eyes. My shoulders shrugged. This is the dignity of a Korean game master!

“So we can avoid all the traps.”

“Right. As long as we avoid the traps and continue along the path, the exit will appear.”

“Why do we need clairvoyance?”

“The letters are written in a location that only beastmen can read. Written so high that you can only see it by flying, or it’s written very small, so clairvoyance is essential to check the details.”

What a shitty position I was in in the game, it was literally a hidden object hunt.

Well, for now…

“I see…”

There won’t be any problem because this fellow is here. It’s also convenient in many ways.

“Right. I will use the vision sharing skill I gained while leveling up to share your vision with Nahyun and understand the situation.”

“Got it!”

It’s about how they believe in me, how gentle it is, and how I came up with such good words to use. I’m lucky.

“Then the briefing is over. Just in case, I’ll check the equipment before leaving!”

Just in case, I gave the two several potions and prepared the equipment.

So we headed into the maze in a nervous mood.

“In the next hallway, on the right.”

“Left.”

“Straight.”

I guided the group and packed up all the treasures in the maze.

I plan on keeping some of them separate rather than changing them. There are a few things that trigger events.

Especially this bead and the balance.

After finding all the treasures, we headed toward the exit. When we went to the exit, I saw a bone beast altar, just like the one I saw in the game.

Floating in the center of the altar was the ‘Key of the Beastmen’ made of bone.

If you take it normally, this key is just an item that gives a beastman a chance to be recognized, but the story is different if you take those who have inherited the beastman’s bloodline to the altar and generate the ‘successor’ event.

“Senior, please go and grab the key.”

“Hm? Me?”

“Yes. Senior has to be the one to get it.”

Although Choi Soojung glared at me, she moved as she was told. When Choi Soojung grabbed the key, letters began to be engraved on it.

I grinned without realizing it.

That key is a very precious key that allows you to open the door to the tower from anywhere.

After receiving the key that Choi Soojung threw, our party came out of the gate.

When we came outside, the sun was already starting to appear.

***

I recalled Kang Nahyun who was half asleep by the time we arrived at the dormitory  as I told her that I would report the gate, so I would come a little late.

When I came to school after finishing paying and reporting to the gate, I saw an army of students looking at me, as if the rumor had already spread.

Yeah, that would be amazing. How can two people from Class F and a cat mixed beastwoman clear a gate, even if it’s a static one?

Besides, I am ‘Na Yuhan’. The fact that Na Yuhan is a commander with low qualifications is publicly known within the awakened society.

But even if they don’t want to believe it, they will have no choice but to believe it when they see the empty gate. Well, actually, Kang Nahyun and Choi Soojung took care of everything, but other people don’t know.

With this, their evaluation of me will go up.

That’s how we change things little by little.

I sat down in my seat amid welcoming gazes, organizing the plan in my head.

When Kang Nahyun comes, I’ll have to settle the bill.

Kang Nahyun trusts me a lot, but the things I will do in the future can’t be solved by trust alone.

I need to buy loyalty with money.

***

“I’m talking about the settlement I mentioned earlier.”

“Ah, yeah!”

“I made a lot of money by processing all the monster by-products and treasures we got from the dungeon. A total of 3 billion.”

“Yeah. But isn’t that Yuhan’s?”

I tell the naive Kang Nahyun that she gets money too. suddenly.

“That means I handle the by-products. Settlement must be done properly.”

She will feel grateful for this unexpected situation.

Then she will work harder to make money next time. People become more sincere when they know that something is beneficial to them.

“So, we are going to split 1 billion each. Can you tell me your account?”

And if Kang Nahyun is a sincere person, she will definitely use this money for self-improvement.

Since she will buy the equipment I should have bought for her, I can also save resources while receiving her gratitude.

Let’s encourage her to do so.

“I think you should buy some weapons orㅡ”

At that time, Kang Nahyun said something unexpected.

“I’m going to donate.”

“…Donation?”

What does this mean again?

I told Kang Nahyun.

“That’s great, but isn’t now the time to work on self-improvement?”

“It’s a place I owe a lot to.”

But Kang Nahyun seemed to have already made up her mind. This is unexpected.

“…Well, okay. It’s your freedom to spend your money.”

I can’t help it. This is money that has already been agreed upon.

When I answered that, Kang Nahyun suddenly started crying. Is that orphanage really that important to her?

Kang Nahyun laughed while crying.

“Yuhan, thanks.”

…Well, it looks like I succeeded in gaining loyalty in the end, so there’s no problem, isn’t there?
