During the tender age of (Part 1)
Yeon Woo eventually became eight years old.
There was a kindergarten near his house, and he was the age at which he was carrying a backpack to go to school.
“And listen to what you’re told. And tell me everything that happens. When other kids bully you tell me or a teacher about it.”
“Yes, Mother.”
Yeon Woo answered her honestly before leaving the house, but he didn’t expect much to happen in his elementary school life.
“I have to do the little things such as nose bleeding and playing while attending school …… I want to grow up faster.”
His mental age was that of an 11 year old.
At best, there won’t be any spoiled kids in his elementary school.
When you explore a dungeon something like this isn’t nerve wracking.
Living in alternate worlds he enjoys a double life, and has built up a variety of experiences.
There was a big deal in his elementary school, as expected.
He engaged in the entrance ceremony and met his friends, who were like docile sheep seen in the Marca continent.
“I never had to study much so this should be nice.”
His actual age was similar to his other cla.s.smates, but his life experience was varied so it was easy to follow the elementary school cla.s.sroom.
If he wanted to he could read everyone’s thoughts, but he did not feel the need to bother so far.
“Hey Yeon Woo, let’s play! ”
“You’re annoying.”
The girls in cla.s.s were overly friendly to Yeon Woo.
“I want that it’s mine. ”
Pettiness was also commonplace.
When a fight was about to occur, Yeon Woo would walk over to smooth things over. The children were fighting over a broken toy.
“At this point be patient and take your time. Well, I’m a little more disappointed watching things getting broken, so if you have problems in life put aside your differences. ”
[I see that Yeon Woo is a decent kid.]
[He’s only a child, but already he is caring for the other students.]
Also the cla.s.smates and teachers both increased their a.s.sessment of him.
“I have a long life ahead of me and I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future. ”
Yeon Woo was leisurely sipping his strawberry milk as he walked from elementary school.
———————————————————————————————————————————————–
Jess was 4 years old.
He has been regularly spending time in the continent, and has adapted brilliantly.
Jess also gained much miscellaneous knowledge and experiences.
“I heard there is a wizard who lived in the province of Göteborg.”
“Yes, he was well known, and his skills were very impressive.”
“There are rumors he researched forms of unique magic, but they’re probably unreliable.”
Jess was told by Rendall and Herz not to talk about the family business. he also couldn’t play with the children of the commoners nearby.
He didn’t even get toys, Herz only summoned some water spirits to play with him.
[The young man is such a bully.]
[Such a mean child!]
Water Spirits are very weak in general, so the force they can exert on their own in the world is very small, but they were put up with because they can not go against the will of their summoner.
“The rumors have been saying that the last place near the home of the wizard is looks good, so we have to try. Fortunately that place is not far from here. ”
A few days later, the party made a determination that it was well worth it to visit Göteborg province.
Bringing along a child can be a huge burden on a dungeon exploration trip, depending on the age.
“It sounds like we have a magical reaction in the vicinity…..”
The party searched from the home town in the nearby mountains and swept the area until they found the hidden entrance to the wizards dungeon in a secluded area.
“Let’s finish this early, I want to go home.”
“We’ll get through this quickly.”
The dungeon was hidden in a cave, so they brought a torch to light the way.
Even without the town or anything nearby except monsters, some wizards prefer the hard terrain to install large study areas in such a quiet place.
Wizards are aware of ghouls or intruders, so they cleverly hide their entrances with magic.
The more experienced robbers knew how to penetrate the hidden areas using magic or psychological methods to find the treasure!
“There are many pitfalls, and many small cave monsters everywhere. ”
“Maybe the wizard was more cunning than you think?”
“Preferably that’s not the case.”
“Maybe this wizard was confident about his skills. When he died, he might not have cared who came later. ”
Ghouls were walking slowly around inside the cave.
After dismantling a few pitfalls, including magical traps they didn’t hurry, and took their time.
When one is in a hurry they should prepare for an accident.
Jess couldn’t even come in handy, so he ate a meal in the dungeon.
As Jess explored the underground dungeon he became acquainted with most of the bats and insects.
He was able to read the thoughts of any animal including insects and small worms, that had differences in their intelligence.
[Let’s go, come forward, come along.]
[So tired]
[I’m hungry and scared]
[Where am I? I’m lost.]
Different from the poisonous centipedes, the large rats thoughts were a little more complicated.
[Around 4,000 dogs including their children. The ants of the region is increasing too …….]
[Where there any remaining cheese shavings? Because humans leave food I eat very well.]
“This is a little boring, but when I grow up I’ll be able to help out.”
Until the final stage of the dungeon raid he did not keep up with them at times.
Dangerous traps and the powerful monsters, signaled they were close to the end.
Riga put him in a safe place to wait in the Holy Shield(a magical sanctuary).
In most cases, his parents came back no later than 30 minutes.
Jess thought the sandwiches he chewed were very good.
Riga made some very tasty sandwiches for him.
“The taste of bacon is awesome.”
Rendall, Riga, Herz, and Ned stood in had streams of water pouring down into the small room they were trapped in.
“I got to say………to die in a place like this.”
“I’m sorry everyone. It was my mistake for not paying attention. ”
Dwarf Ned apologized to everyone.
Ned could not find the trap, because of the plate of food he was holding while drinking a beer.
Even though they were experienced robbers this was a serious crisis.
“I’m fine. But if something happens to Jess….. ”
Riga wept, thinking thinking of her son Jess.
Children left alone in a cave. Even if he remembered the road they took, they did not fully release all the traps.
While looking for his parents in the cave he could starve to death.
“My poor baby, what do we do about Jess. Honey … ”
When she thought about her baby that will die lying exhausted from hunger, Riga’s tears kept flowing.
When Holy Shield is released, he could be caught by other animals and eaten in the caves or seen in the eyes of the monsters.
Jess a little bored and began to focus his attention on his parents, who had their thoughts floating around.
[Oh Jess, what will I do….]
[My life is over. This is not a proper way to die, I wish I could see your eyes once more Jess.]
[I’m so sorry. Everything is my responsibility. If I survive this time …… sob sob on the honor of the dwarves I’ll never drink another beer.]
“This is what happens when you are not vigilant.”
At least that parents are worried about him, but Jess was still rather nervous.
“You have to watch out for your children carefully anything can happen to them. ”
The children that grow up without parents know a great deal of suffering.
Children without parents have no power in the continent of Marca, and are often sold into slavery.
“How did they fall into such an obvious trap? I can save them in time though. ”
Jess walked while concentrating on reading the thoughts of Dwarf Ned.
He was greatly regretting not finding the trap, and kept thinking of his mistake in his head repeatedly.
The trap release devices were often found in hidden crevices.
Fortunately, the device had been installed on the bottom which made it easier for a child to reach.
Jess hanged on the lever until it fell down.
Clack, clack, clack!
Over the sound of the gears turning the door opened and a flood of water rushed over the floor.
People were writhing all over the floor.
“What the…… Jess? How did you get here? ”
Jess gave a small sigh. It was a formidable task to look innocent.
[Jess. Jess. Oh my baby……]
[O G.o.d. We almost lost our a.s.ses to get this stuff.]
[I’m alive! I almost died. Once I get out of this place I’m gonna drink a bunch of beer.]
