City of Backstreet Nymphs

88 – 088 – A new family! # 4

088 – A new family! # 4

“No. He said he could take anyone, but this guy is a bit—”

Dawn.

Lee Jin-ah, who was loading the truck, frowned.

“Why are you looking at that Illinois with those eyes… ? That Illinois, too, has an interest in what is called a ‘crack’… ! It’s about doing together… !”

It was because Illinois started insisting on going with them to the rift.

But I thought, wouldn’t it be okay?

According to Lee Jin-ah, the “Dragon’s Nest” We are heading to this time does not have monsters or ferocious vegetation, she said.

There is no such thing as ‘absolute’ in the world, but if you say that they will take Kwangkung, Angang, and Kungkung, their combat power is already overflowing.

Illinois There’s only one person left after I’ve taken care of him enough.

Of course, Illinois exclaimed confidently.

“That Illinois doesn’t need any help… ! All nymphs must have the strength to protect their bodies… ! All nymphs who failed to do so are dead… !”

Indeed, he was full of passion.

We had no choice but to start with Illinois.

Food Duck-.

Just then, I thought I heard a loud flapping sound from somewhere, and then a large owl, Callinois, landed in the truck’s bed.

This meant one thing.

From noble mtl dot com

“Calinois. Are you going too?”

Have you ever wanted to ride in the back of a truck?

The problem was that Kyeongkong got angry at the boarding of the Kalinois.

– Kleureung… !

There was something called compatibility between the animals that became my family.

For example, whenever Kungkong and Kwangkwang met each other, they clashed and fought relentlessly as if trying to test each other’s strength.

It’s been a bit quiet lately, but just a while ago, you were fighting?

So it was difficult to take him along.

It’s been fine lately though.

However, the relationship between Kyeongkeongi and Kalinoi, the tiger owl, was not so good that they couldn’t get along. Because the tiger owl, Callinois, is a fearsome apex predator!

It was a being located higher in the food chain than the chief dog squirrel, Kengkongi!

You could call it a natural enemy.

“A squirrel and a tiger owl cannot be together… ! If Kyeongkongi evolves into a more powerful Chimmunk, the story will be different again… !”

It was said that it was impossible to take Kungkongi and Kalinoi together until the Kungkeongi evolved.

What should I do?

There is no other guy that can project as stable firepower as Kyeongkong.

But the Kalinois was already firmly entrenched in the truck’s bed and seemed unwilling to disembark or fly elsewhere.

I had no choice but to set the kongkong down.

“Oinoya. I’m taking good care of her.”

“I know… ! Just believe in this Oinoi… ! More than that, it’s too early, so this oi-noi needs to get some more sleep… !”

It’s four o’clock in the morning.

It was still early to wake up.

Burrr -.

Finally, Jinah Lee’s truck started.

# # #

The crack we are heading to, 「Dragon’s Nest」Is located in the mountains of Gangwon-do.

Local talent with cool streams.

Toward the place where the mountains meander, I continued to climb.

“Hey. Jinah Lee. How long do I have to climb the mountain? I don’t think it’s a place that doesn’t show up on the map here. Is there really a rift here?”

“Right. We are almost there.”

“Muhh, that Illinois is a mountain nymph… ! When you come to the mountain, your power will over-well. ! It’s all about comming quickly… ! Everyone is saying it’s too late… !”

Illinois was said to be a mountain nymph born in the mountains.

Unlike Oinoi, who gained more energy in the forest, Illinois gained more energy in the mountains.

Illinois, who had been climbing the mountain for a long time, discovered something.

“Ah… ! Looking for this… ! It means that there is something like an abandoned temple here… ! I mean, it’s very old… ! It looks like it’s full of germs… !”

An Abandoned Temple?

I was looking for something, so I saw a huge rock and a building nearby that could be called a ‘sadang’.

Inside, there were things like old and dirty Buddha statues sitting cross-legged, small dolls, and amulets attached.

Something spooky.

Yuari said as if she wasn’t even out of breath despite carrying heavy equipment up a high mountain.

“It looks like a shrine created by shamans. I think it was abandoned. It looks like it shouldn’t be touched. Senior, doesn’t it look like a scene from a horror movie?”

Shut-.

It was Yuari who grabbed my arm and trembled.

Yua Li has a girlish side like her high school girl, so she seemed to feel uneasy when she saw such a terrifying sight.

To be honest, I also felt insecure.

Well, it wasn’t because it was cursed or because it looked like a scene from a horror movie, but because it was abandoned and it was buggy and dirty.

“Is it the god of this little land here… ? Serving a doll as a god is very ridiculous… ! If you are a god, you have to be at least Zeus who can command lightning… !”

Kwok-.

Illinois with a clenched fist.

Soon, Illinois began beating the discarded puppets at the shrine with their fists.

“In the name of Zeus, it is to condemn foreign gods… ! It’s Punishment… !”

Doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo-.

Buddha statues and dolls hit by Illinois’ fists were all shattered.

Flur-Shivering Yuari.

“I feel like I will be punished.”

“There is no god stronger than Zeus… ! The gods of this Buddha statue are gods lower than Zeus, so they can’t do any harm to that Illinois… !”

It was a very strange story.

I heard from Illinois that Zeus was so powerful that even if all the gods in the world joined forces to attack him, he was so powerful that he couldn’t defeat him.

Is it really so?

I tried imagining the battle between the gods of the Buddha statue and Zeus, the god of lightning, but it didn’t come out well.

Anyway.

We continued climbing the mountain and finally found a place we could call an abandoned ‘building’. The peeling paint is a pattern that can only be seen in the military.

Lee Jin-ah said.

“This building was managed by a nearby engineering unit. It was abandoned when the unit was disbanded. The cracks seem to open every morning. You know Gang Flower, right? They found it and commissioned it to me.”

Indeed.

Did the gangs also find cracks and start to privatize them?

Shut-.

I opened the rusty iron door and entered.

Then, I saw a blue portal open inside the building.

It was just the right size for the entrance to a C-class rift.

“Then enter.”

# # #

When naming rifts, I also added numbers according to their size, such as ‘T-234’.

There was a time when I intuitively attached a name like 「Dragon’s Nest」.

Class C crack 「Dragon’s Nest」 Was literally like a dragon’s nest.

Inside the building, dragons were carved here and there.

“It’s all about looking at that… ! There are a lot of gold coins… ! With this, you should be able to play 10 mechanical snails… !”

Charlereureu-.

Illinois brightens its face while seeing gold coins overflowing here and there.

Both Yuari and I were greatly surprised.

“Isn’t it a complete treasure field?”

“Can I take it?”

Shut-.

Yuari picking up gold coins.

However, Lee Jin-ah shook her head.

“The moment I took it out of the crack, it turned into soil and disappeared. Of all the things in here, the only things you can take are flowers. I also came to pick up those flowers.”

That’s right.

Among the things in the rift, there were a lot of things that couldn’t get out of the rift. How can you not keep so many treasures right in front of you?

It’s literally a piece of cake, isn’t it?

Shut-.

Soon, chessboard-shaped scaffolding appeared in front of us.

“There are a lot of traps from here. As long as you follow me wherever I step, you won’t get hurt. If you step on the wrong step, the thorns attached to that ceiling will launch and become skewers.”

It’s a place full of traps instead of monsters.

We followed Jinah Lee through the traps that had already been destroyed.

After walking for a long time, I saw sculptures of short men with shaggy beards.

“This is an alien piece… ! Now that I see it, it is clear that this place is the site of a temple of an alien species… ! That Illinois can tell… ! It’s like an abandoned shrine… ! It is the site of an abandoned temple… !”

Illinois rated this place as a temple.

What kind of god was this temple?

It was good.

“Calinois. Are you following me well?”

Shut-.

I looked back.

It was kind of funny that the big owl, Kalinoi, was often-following me.

I fed him beef and he listens well.

Pot-.

We broke through the traps for a long time and descended deeper into the basement of this building.

And I was surprised.

Flowers.

A lot of flowers were blooming in front of us.

A flower garden located underground?

On the incredibly high ceiling, luminous stones shimmered against the deep blue background like stars were shining, and artificial winds blew softly from somewhere.

Absolutely beautiful scenery.

Soon, Illinois also admired it.

“It’s a pretty nice scenery… ! These are flowers that remind us of our homeland… ! I mean, it’s very gorgeous… ! Even the stones embedded in the ceiling are like stars in the sky… !”

It was a wonderful scenery in many ways.

I said looking at the flowers with five red leaves.

“Lee Jin-ah. Is that flower you are looking for?”

“No. I’m looking for my way to the next room. This is the last room in the rift. There must be a device somewhere to move from this room to the next, but I couldn’t find it.”

“Really?”

“If you find the next room, you might be able to find the core of this rift. Then you might be able to go out with those huge gold coins or something.”

It made sense.

Lee Jin-ah soon added her words.

“By the way, I don’t like to smell flowers carefully. Because it is not an ordinary flower. That flower has a special effect so you can’t lie. That’s why we named it “Flower of Truth.”

A flower that makes it impossible to lie.

Yuari trembled when she thought there were all the star flowers.

“Ariya, what’s wrong?”

“Me. I already smelled the flowers! I intuitively feel that there is no poison! I wonder if this flower will be a hint to move on to the next room! Also, I love flowers!”

Belt-.

Ahri even talked about things I didn’t ask.

It felt like I was fed some kind of confession.

Ahri’s naive girlish sensibility caused an accident.

“It’s okay. Ari, you don’t lie.”

Flur-Shivering Yuari.

The guy covered his mouth and shouted.

“I lied too!”

Ari tells a lot of lies?

What lies are you talking about?

“Arya, did you lie to me too?”

Parr-.

Yua Li trembled and convulsed her body as if fighting her own inner self.

The power of the palm of her hand that covered her mouth grew stronger.

Finally Ari closed her eyes and said.

“… You’re lying that you ordered a pizza yesterday and shared it with her friend! In fact, I ate an entire pizza by myself! I was going to go on a diet! When she started exercising again, she was hungry… !”

Belt-.

Ari eating a whole pizza by himself.

Shut-.

Soon, Lee Jin-ah put her hand on my shoulder.

“Hey, Haildo. Don’t ask stupid questions Everyone has secrets they want to hide.”

That was right.

Still, I felt a little relieved.

“I wondered if it would be okay because Ari always ate like bird feed in front of me, but I’m glad. It is good for people to eat well. It’s proof that you’re healthy.”

Ari turned her face red and she fidgeted like she didn’t know what to do.

Ah-wah-wah-ah and shook her head.

“Senior, I’m so shy right now… ! But at the same time, I also feel a strange sensation… ! This flower seems to make my senses sharper… ! Over there… !”

Shut-.

Yua Li pointed her hand at something of hers.

There was nothing there, but soon the ghost spider stomping slowly made its appearance.

ㅁHooong… ?

“Wow.”

Did Ahri just now perfectly detect the thump who was hiding in the flower garden?

This was really quite surprising!

This 「Flower of Truth」 Is an item tailored to Ahri’s constitution that increases her power as a person with sensory abilities!

It was then.

Cried Illinois.

“Everyone is looking at this place… ! That Illinois must have found its way to the next room… !”
