"Dokja Hyuuuung!"
"…Oops."
-Flop.
A child jumped out from the giant mantis and instantly hugged Kim Dokja.
It was hard to believe that this boy, who seemed somewhat gloomy and hesitant with headphones around his neck, had made this giant mantis submit.
If that is the case, that boy….
"You, what is your name?"
"…Who are you, Hyung?"
"Kang Yuhyeon. And you?"
"…Lee Gilyoung. But why?"
"No, just wondered if you tamed those things."
"…You mean Titano? Yes, I tamed it. What about it?"
"Just thought it was amazing."
"…!!"
Starting from the giant mantis, the insects spread around, and even the insects existing farther from here all felt connected to that boy, and as expected, it was true.
Lee Gilyoung…, this boy also seems to have outstanding talent like Shin Yoosung. Using insects unhelpful in combat for scouting purposes also seems like a good judgment.
"You, have no intention of traveling with me?"
"…O, Oppa? What do you mean…."
"I don't."
"…A pity."
I thought he would have quite good synergy with Shin Yoosung.
Well, can't be helped.
"…Mm? Why do you suddenly have that expression again?"
"Ah, nothing. Oppa. Haha. Hahaha…."
Shin Yoosung laughing awkwardly.
Looking at such Shin Yoosung, I could only tilt my head as if I couldn't understand.
[The Constellation, 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband', slams the desk in frustration at the stifling development.]
[The Constellation, 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon', sneers at you once.]
[The Constellation, 'Secretive Plotter', looks at you with a profound expression.]
[The Constellation, 'Demonic Judge of Fire', feels frustrated looking at you.]
…Why are those guys like that again.
Deeply settled night.
Kim Dokja and Han Sooyoung went to sleep early saying they were tired, Yoo Sangah and Lycaon went scouting to check if the surroundings were safe, and as always, Han Donghoon went for internet activities, and Kang Yuhyeon went to collect Coins.
And the youngest among the party members, Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung….
"Don't act up. You bug-like bastard."
"…What?"
Were burning hostility towards each other where others couldn't see.
"What's with the sudden quarrel, you mutt-like thing?"
"When Oppa talked to you, you answered rudely back then."
"Whether I answer rudely or not, what does it matter to you? I'm not interested in that Hyung anyway."
"…This bug-like bastard doesn't know his place and dares to…."
-Gogogogo…!!
"…Want to try it?"
-Kiruk—!!
As Shin Yoosung revealed killing intent, fidgeted with the dagger in her bosom, and drew up her Magic Power, Lee Gilyoung swallowed his saliva sweating coldly and called Titano, who was sitting still looking at the night sky.
In the midst of the situation escalating to the point where one might think they would really fight to the death.
"Fine, fine. Do you avoid sh*t because you're scared? You avoid it because it's dirty."
Lee Gilyoung raised his hand first and clicked his tongue.
"Seeing your level, I know now. How much that Hyung lacks an eye for people."
"…What?"
"Compared to Dokja Hyung, it's obvious he's really pathetic. Otherwise, would he carry a kid like you around?"
"Sorry, but compared to that mister, my Oppa is much more amazing?"
"Are you done talking?"
But Lee Gilyoung is still a child.
Feeling proud that he handled it maturely was brief; since Shin Yoosung touched what should absolutely not be touched for him, Lee Gilyoung revealed killing intent on his face no less than Shin Yoosung and continued speaking.
"Dokja Hyung is incredibly strong, you know? He was strong enough to catch a fire-breathing dragon alone?"
"Sorry, but the person whom such a mister doesn't know what to do with, gets flustered around, and has to walk on eggshells around is my Oppa."
"You don't know how smart Dokja Hyung is, right? That's all calculated behavior. That Hyung is being played by Dokja Hyung without knowing anything, you know?"
"Even so, he's within Oppa's palm anyway. Oppa thinks of things that mister couldn't even think of and sometimes leaves him dumbfounded?"
The fight of a scale that seemed like it might destroy this entire area turned into a childish 'My Hyung (Oppa) is more amazing' fight at some point.
Titano, watching that quietly, tilted its head, then yawned and returned to its place to gaze at the stars beautifully spread in the night sky.
"My Oppa is more amazing!"
"No, my Hyung is more awesome?"
"You. Is there anything that mister did for you? He made all my stats 60 and evolved my skill and attribute?"
"So what? My Hyung gave me this hammer? Do you know what this is? It's Mjolnir, Mjolnir. You know Thor, right?"
"My Oppa is none other than the King of Curses. That mister can't use invisible slashes or anything like that, right?"
"My Hyung is the King of a World without a King. Did your Hyung, ever break that huge throne? My Hyung broke it?"
"Eek…!! My Oppa is—!!"
"My Hyung is—!!"
An atmosphere so intense that it was admirable they didn't throw punches first.
Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung, existing in that overheated atmosphere, didn't notice.
"…What are they doing?"
"…How should I know."
That Kim Dokja and Kang Yuhyeon were watching that scene silently.
"What on earth are those two doing not sleeping at this late night."
"Yaaaawn…, indeed…."
Kang Yuhyeon, who returned hurriedly due to the intense Magic Power felt suddenly, and Kim Dokja, who woke up with drowsy eyes due to the loud noise caused by Shin Yoosung and Lee Gilyoung fighting, looked at the two as if absurd.
However, perhaps because they were quite focused, maybe they didn't feel this gaze, they didn't show any sign of turning their eyes to where Kim Dokja and Kang Yuhyeon were.
"It's late. I should go to sleep."
"…Don't we have to stop that? It looks like it's going to be really big trouble soon."
"If left alone, they'll figure it out."
"Hmm…, is that so?"
Like that, Kim Dokja and Kang Yuhyeon stared blankly at that place for a while, then headed to their sleeping places.
As a side note, Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung stopped only after being scolded greatly by Yoo Sangah who returned from scouting, or something like that.
['Sub Scenario - Survival Activity' has ended.]
A system message heard while loosening up the body here and there.
A Sub Scenario that was long if you call it long and short if you call it short.
Around the time I was admiring considerably that such time had already passed.
"Hey, can't you admit it yet? I said Dokja Hyung is more amazing?"
"Admit my foot. You admit it, my Yuhyeon Oppa is more amazing."
"…."
It was truly admirable that these two were still doing this even after two days had passed.
But that was brief.
-Zzzzt, zzzzzzt—!!
At the familiar spark sound heard soon after, I had no choice but to harden my face.
[You have waited a long time, everyone. Was the survival activity in the meantime enjoyable? Finally, the fifth Main Scenario you have been waiting for begins. There were some schedule changes due to setbacks…, yes, well. Still, it will be an interesting scenario as much as you expected.]
Another Dokkaebi existing beside the red Dokkaebi during the Disaster of Questions scenario.
That Dokkaebi looked down at us from the sky, scanned us once, and continued speaking as if displeased.
[You have already dealt with four of the five Disasters. Your contribution, I acknowledge it sufficiently. But you see, compared to the last Disaster that will come soon, the remaining four are nothing more than child's play.]
The Dokkaebi uttering words similar to what I heard from Kim Dokja.
At those words, I recalled the time of the Disaster of Questions.
Although I didn't defeat him exerting strength desperately, the Disaster of Questions was still quite tough to catch.
But saying subjugating such a Disaster is merely child's play like playing house.
I couldn't quite predict what the Disaster of Floods, that is, Shin Yoosung's future coming here soon, would be like.
[Depending on the success of this scenario, all the work you have done so far might be in vain, and everything might end.]
I could feel that the citizens around were greatly agitated without concentrating.
Seeing that, I ground my teeth.
Even if they run away like that, everyone will die anyway when the Disaster of Floods arrives soon.
[However, fortunately, there are those who pity you.]
Along with the Dokkaebi's words, golden sparks spread around, and a familiar message seen somewhere appeared before my eyes.
[Then, from now on, we will start the second
Along with the sound of the Dokkaebi snapping his fingers—Snap-!, stars beginning to shine colorfully despite it being daytime.
At that sight, I stared blankly up at the sky without realizing it.
-Please select your Sponsor.
-The selected Sponsor will become your reliable supporter.
A message not much different from what I saw in the subway.
There was only one difference, but that difference was quite significant.
Prisoner of the Golden Headband
Abyssal Black Flame Dragon
Secretive Plotter
Demonic Judge of Fire

"…Why are there so many."
Frowning, I continued to scroll down and look at the list of Constellations who wanted to be my Sponsor.
At that moment, a single incomprehensible question rising small in my head.
A few Constellations who kept sponsoring and sending messages, and Constellations who clearly show evil alignment, let's say it's because of my actions.
But this 'Demonic Judge of Fire' who kept tackling my moves, and Scribe of Heaven, Savior of Corruption, Master of the Ark, etc. Why do these Constellations showing somewhat good alignment want to be my Sponsor?
[Several Fable-grade Constellations sponsor you, telling you to become their Incarnation.]
[Several Historical Figure-grade Constellations whistle and sponsor you, telling you to become their Incarnation.]
[You have received a total of 52,000 Coins in sponsorship.]
Well, honestly, whatever.
[Not much time left until the end of
[A majority of Constellations are anxious.]
My choice is only one.
[
[A significant number of Constellations are enraged, saying they cannot understand!]
Since I can roughly guess what kind of guys Constellations are, no way I would take a Sponsor.
Thanks for the Coins. Idiots.
