And so, dealing with the Ground Puppies, we were finally able to arrive at Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station.
"The people of this station seem to have moved in a hurry. There might be daily necessities left."
"Dokja-ssi, we only have one station left anyway. How about we just go and rest?"
"No.... Who knows? No one knows if we'll be able to rest once we get there, right?"
Startled.
At the implication they might have to fight people again, the party members began to waver, and soon Lee Hyunsung spoke.
"I'll go look for any usable supplies."
"Please do."
"Ah.. Um, then..."
"......"
"What? Dokja-ssi, are you coming too?"
"No, go ahead."
"If it's personal maintenance time, I'll go to the restroom too!"
"I want to go too."
"Then I'll keep watch here, so everyone do what you need to do."
At my words, Jung Heewon, Yoo Sangah, Lee Gilyoung, and Lee Hyunsung headed for the restroom. Kim Dokja, who had been watching them head to the restroom, soon approached me and spoke.
"I have some business on the surface, I'll be right back. Please explain well to the party members."
"I'll do that."
At my answer, Kim Dokja nodded and immediately headed toward the surface.
"Hmm, shall I do some maintenance then? Status Window."

"Should I raise my overall stats a bit first?"
[Strength LV7 -> Strength LV10]
[Stamina LV7 -> Stamina LV10]
[Agility LV7 -> Agility LV10]
[Magic Power LV7 -> Magic Power LV10]
[A total of 3600 coins have been consumed.]
Current Coins Held: 98,348
'Remaining coins are 98,000... In that case, it shouldn't matter if I do a few Gacha pulls, right?'
I immediately used the Gacha.
[The Gacha has been updated.]
[The Legend of Zelda, Dragon Ball, and Fairy Tail have been added to the Gacha series.]
Soon, I spun the Gacha with the newly added series.
[5000 coins have been paid.]
[The attribute 'Man of Heavenly Fortune' is activated.]
[Due to the effect of Heavenly Fortune, the probability of getting good items from the Gacha increases.]
[The draw has concluded.]

[Type-Moon—Noble Phantasm: Rule Breaker]
[MapleStory—Skill: Dispel LV 1]
[Date A Live—Skill: Zadkiel LV 1]
[Type-Moon—Conceptual Armament: Origin Round]
"!!!!!"
I was astonished looking at the list I obtained from this draw.
A thermos bottle of Century Soup, Regal Whale Meat with the poison sac removed, plus a One-Star Dragon Ball, MapleStory's Bishop's Dispel and Caster's Rule Breaker, and on top of that, Yoshino's Angel, Zadkiel.
Besides those, the Sephira Fragment and Continuous Fire... are ambiguous, and the Origin Round, perhaps because it's a Conceptual Armament (like that card form in FGO) or because the worldview is different, causes the target's magic power to temporarily run wild, preventing them from using magic properly, but it can be used again once the cooldown is over.
'Wow... This is amazing, isn't it?'
Laughing happily to myself, I waited for the party members to return. Shortly after, Kim Dokja returned carrying a Buddhist monk's straw mat and prayer beads.
"So… you're saying this is a relic of a great man, a tremendous item? This straw mat rag?"
Jung Heewon, who had received and put on the clothes from Kim Dokja, said that.
"They are good items, even if they look like this. Because they are relics of a great man."
"A great man?"
"Do you know of Samyeongdang?"
[A Constellation wearing a straw mat pauses at Incarnation 'Kim Dokja's' actions.]
Then Jung Heewon asked with a foolish face.
"Who's that?"
[A Constellation wearing a straw mat is flabbergasted at character 'Jung Heewon'.]
"Ah! I know him!"
At that moment, Yoo Sangah raised her hand and spoke.
"I remember studying for the Korean History certificate! He was a monk from the mid-Joseon period, right?"
"Yes, that's correct."
"During the Imjin War, he fought the Japanese army to protect the Korean peninsula...… The Nowonpyeong and Uguandong battles!"
[A Constellation wearing a straw mat is moved by Incarnation 'Yoo Sangah'.]
"Anyway, these items are imbued with his power."
"Really?"
Jung Heewon immediately checked the item information and spoke in surprise.
"What, it's real!"
Then Lee Hyunsung asked Kim Dokja.
"But Dokja-ssi, how did you know about and obtain this?"
"Just, on a whim, I paid my respects at Samyeongdang's statue, and then this fell from the sky."
Kim Dokja closed his eyes as if imagining something and raised one hand in a gesture reminiscent of prayer.
[A very few Constellations admire Incarnation 'Kim Dokja's' shamelessness.]
"Huh? That can't be......."
Certainly, it was such an absurd story no matter how you thought about it. As Jung Heewon made a sour, disgusted expression, Kim Dokja put on an intentionally solemn tone and continued speaking while looking at the party members.
"In my opinion.... I think these might be items sent by Samyeongdang for Korea."
"Ah...…."
The party members' 'Ah' held many meanings.
"Perhaps, like during the Imjin War, he passed on his relics to save the country this time as well. After all, present-day Korea is also going through a national crisis."
[A Constellation wearing a straw mat is touched by Incarnation 'Kim Dokja's' eloquence.]
It is always during times of national crisis that swindlers thrive. Just like Kim Dokja right in front of me.
"In a world like this, it wouldn't be strange for such a thing to happen. Maybe Samyeongdang is also one of the 'Constellations.' Right?"
Surprisingly, Yoo Sangah was the first to show signs of acceptance. Perhaps she took the lead, worried that Kim Dokja might be embarrassed.
The funny thing was, as soon as Yoo Sangah agreed, the simple-minded Lee Hyunsung immediately accepted it as well.
"As expected of Samyeongdang…."
As if his patriotism was stirred anew, Lee Hyunsung's nose turned red, and soon he made an expression as if he was about to shed a tear at any moment.
Lee Gilyoung also seemed curious, and the only one glaring at Kim Dokja as if it was nonsense was Jung Heewon alone.
[A Constellation wearing a straw mat reveals his modifier.]
[The Constellation, 'Bald Militia Leader' forgives Incarnation 'Kim Dokja's' sin.]
At Samyeongdang's message, Kim Dokja looked at the sky with an expression that said, 'We good now?'.
"Samyeongdang, you said? I feel kind of sorry. I should have studied harder too."
Jung Heewon muttered as an afterthought, 'I should remember that name,' and scanned the straw mat of Samyeongdang she was wearing.
[The Constellation, 'Bald Militia Leader' watches the situation contentedly.]
[You have received a 100 coin sponsorship.]
To such a Jung Heewon, Kim Dokja said jokingly.
"Then why don't you go pay your respects too."
But that joke... Jung Heewon ended up doing it, and afterwards, Jung Heewon, who returned addicted, cured her addiction by eating Ground Puppy meat.
"Dokja-ssi, was it like that when you went there originally? Someone had smashed everything. It wasn't you, was it?"
"......."
Kim Dokja, perhaps sensing something from Jung Heewon's words, remained silent.
"...Dokja-ssi?"
Then Kim Dokja, who had been consistently silent, looked at the darkness far away and spoke.
"More importantly, let's get ready. It'll be Chungmuro soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a scenario window appeared.
[A new sub-scenario has arrived!]
"Everyone, step back."
