Episode 217

Not long after granting Roan his second life.

“Here are the mobile phones and cards for the familiars you mentioned before.”

President Baek handed over five sets of mobile phones and cards.

“Thank you.”

“Card payment details will be sent to you, Hunter.”

“Oh. That’s good.”

“There’s a parental control feature, isn’t there? We can apply that too if you want.”

I don’t really know since I’ve never raised kids.

Location tracking is possible and you can check app usage.

Some apps can be locked from my mobile phone.

“It’s fine. The familiars aren’t children.”

Geez.

Do they manage kids’ phones like that these days?

What a scary era.

Back in my day, we got etiquette lessons from older guys at PC cafes and arcades.

“That sounds like a story from my childhood. How old are you, Hunter?”

“My family home was near a traditional market.”

“Ah.”

The familiars were delighted to receive their mobile phones.

“This is the mobile phone, the very essence of human civilization!”

“I’ll master how to use it in no time.”

“Oh! Finally Schne has a mobile phone too!”

【Hmm. This machine is worth studying as well.】

“Amazing. Machine.”

The familiars each examined their mobile phones in their own way.

Among them, Zaugg stood out the most.

“Please follow me back.”

“Huh?”

“I’ve followed you on StarStar, great lord.”

Wait.

I only created a StarStar account and never even logged in?

More than that.

How long has it been since I gave you the phone and you’re already following me?

“I know how to use it roughly.”

Hehehe.

That Zaugg.

I knew he was good at fiddling around with the tablet.

But this adaptation is way too fast.

“Oh right. There’s something I need to discuss with you.”

“Will this be a long conversation?”

“Yes. GGG has made a proposal.”

“Then let’s move locations.”

The studio apartment was cramped enough as it is.

With five familiars fiddling with their mobile phones, the room felt like it would burst.

Should I reconsider moving again?

Back then I had many things to worry about and many expenses, so I asked to postpone it for a while.

Now I’m earning a lot of money, so I should seriously consider it.

“Do you guys want to come along?”

“I need time to adapt to this new civilization.”

“Have a safe trip, Master!”

“Schne will teach them well.”

“Master. Later. See.”

【Kukuku. This old man has much to study, so I’ll stay here.】

How unusual.

They were always busy following me around, saying they had to escort me.

They seem quite happy to have personal mobile phones.

If I’d known this, I should have given them as gifts earlier.

“I’ll be back.”

I waved my hand and followed President Baek outside.

I’m curious about what proposal GGG made.

* * *

Footsteps fading away.

Sir Isra slowly parted his lips.

“We’re quite far from our Lord now.”

“Just in case, I’ll set up a barrier.”

[Unique Technique – Eclipse]

[Wind Cutter X 3]

[Dark Veil]

[Modified Technique – Defend]

Spreading air widely and fixing it to defense magic.

It prevented conversation sounds from leaking out.

Ingrid carefully checked the magic, then let out a short laugh.

“The girl is perfect as always.”

“Aren’t you embarrassed calling yourself ‘girl’ with your own mouth?”

“A chivalry otaku shouldn’t be saying that.”

“What?! Are you insulting chivalry!”

“There, there you go again. What if our great lord returns while you two are fighting?”

“Hmm. The thief speaks correctly.”

“Even a broken clock is right twice a day.”

The two familiars who had been growling turned their heads away sharply.

Zaugg squeezed between them and clapped his hands.

“Now it’s time to discuss important matters.”

“Thief. Words. Right.”

Roan, who still had the habit of speaking only five words, agreed in clumsy speech.

【Hmm. To think the day would come when this old man seeks guidance from a thief.】

The familiars with a spoonful of seriousness on their faces.

Zaugg, the only one with a cheerful expression, raised his hand high.

“Everyone press the power button first.”

The gazes directed at Zaugg’s fingertip shifted to the mobile phones each of them held.

The serious task to be done while Min-ho was away.

That was learning how to use mobile phones.

“Hmm. The screen went dark.”

“That’s because you double-tapped there.”

“Thief. This won’t work.”

“How did you press the power button!”

“Call. Dead.”

That’s wroooong! What if you press emergency call!”

A chaotic mobile phone adaptation story.

Though they had reached the pinnacle in their respective fields during their lifetimes.

Unfortunately.

He was slow at learning anything outside his interests.

More precisely, I should say he had difficulty accepting new knowledge.

However.

“You just need to press this screen here.”

“Hmm. I think I’m starting to understand.”

“Hohoho. Don’t underestimate the girl’s learning ability.”

“Roughly. Got it.”

Top instructor Zaugg implemented eye-level education.

He succeeded in cramming mobile phone usage methods into the brains of the strongest beings whose minds had grown rigid!

“Sob sob. Schne is truly amazing.”

“Gal! Stop being dramatic.”

“You should be grateful for the opportunity to teach us.”

【Even a thief has his uses.】

The familiars who had actually learned how to use mobile phones had no intention of acknowledging his efforts.

“If you lords had tried to self-study, you wouldn’t have been able to use it even after several days.”

“Shh. That’s not what’s important.”

Sir Isra placed his index finger to his lips and even let out a subtle killing intent.

Zaugg immediately backed down.

“What’s important is the reason we mastered mobile phone usage, isn’t it?”

“Hmm. That’s true.”

At the two familiars’ reaction, Meigers let out a short sigh.

【This old one knows nothing though?】

“We once pursued those who oppressed our Lord in the past.”

Chinese secret organizations that had taken root throughout Seoul.

He briefly explained how the familiars led by Isra had stepped forward to eliminate them.

【Hmm. Such a thing happened.】

“The problem is that our activities were exposed in the process.”

Not to mention CCTV.

The activities of Isra, Ingrid, and Zaugg had been posted on SNS in real time.

Since handsome men and beautiful women rivaling celebrities were traveling together.

It would have been stranger if they hadn’t attracted people’s attention.

“We are our Lord’s swords.”

“Wasn’t the first sword Iron Head?”

“That’s right. However, there’s no need to have only one sword, is there?”

“Oh. You’re saying you’ll acknowledge the mage?”

“Mage. I have never doubted your skill and loyalty.”

At Sir Isra’s words, Ingrid beamed with joy.

“Hoho. I like those words.”

“Our main principle is to protect our Lord.”

The mobile phone in his hand moved left and right.

Adapting to this world too.

In the end, it was all for Min-ho’s sake.

“If we become familiar with this world, it will be easier to assist our Lord.”

“Don’t be so rigid. Let’s enjoy ourselves while adapting, just as Master said.”

“I didn’t say not to enjoy it. However, maintain a sense of duty.”

“Yes, yes.”

Ingrid shrugged her shoulders lightly.

“As expected of someone with a knight background, so incredibly rigid.”

“How about learning how to conceal your presence like Schne?”

“I can do it, but it would be difficult for the mage.”

“Sharing talents is the same thing, isn’t it?”

“Then seek teaching from the thief, mage.”

“Ugh.”

“Is that the extent of your loyalty?”

“Fine. I’ll do it. I will.”

Ordinary undead cannot learn.

Unless they’re beings like Death Knights or Liches who have formed souls, or those born with spirits from the beginning.

However.

The Revived Ones were different.

Because they possessed the dual attributes of the living and undead.

It was possible for them to learn and develop abilities.

Just like how Sir Isra had succeeded in stealth movement by mimicking Zaugg’s steps.

“We share our Lord’s talents. So the mage should be able to do it too.”

“Tch. My workload increased.”

“Also, the elder will need to analyze the structure of modern devices for us.”

【Are you giving orders to this old one?】

“It’s work for our Lord’s sake. It shouldn’t be bad for you either, should it?”

【Heh heh. That’s not wrong.】

Adapting to this world.

And furthermore, becoming Min-ho’s strength was the familiars’ goal.

【Great witch. Could you help this old one whenever you have time?】

“If it’s for Master’s sake.”

【Heh heh. Of course it is. Analyzing the structure of the Death Domain and enhancing its functions will be of help to Master.】

Those who were taken in by Min-ho.

Those who gained a second life.

Though they had each reached the pinnacle in their respective fields during their lifetimes.

The familiars’ loyalty toward Min-ho was stronger than that pride.

“Thief, you should learn swordsmanship too.”

“You mean Schne?”

“Who else here is a thief besides you?”

“Ambushes are more familiar to me than direct confrontation.”

“If you learn the principles of the sword, even that will improve.”

“Hiiiek.”

Teaching and learning each other’s abilities.

Constantly researching and honing their skills.

“It’s what we must do as familiars.”

Sir Isra declared.

* * *

I entered a cafe near my house and took a seat.

“Isn’t that the Guui-dong Necromancer?”

“Look at that flawless skin.”

“He looks more handsome than what I saw on the internet.”

“He probably won’t give us his contact info, right?”

They spoke quietly, but I heard everything.

Having senses that became too sharp thanks to the Heavenly Martial Body was also troublesome.

Taking a seat inside the cafe.

I tried applying mana as Sir Isra and Ingrid had taught me.

Thinking about spreading it wide.

If I trap the air inside…

Whooom!

A barrier so faint you wouldn’t notice it unless you looked carefully wrapped around us.

“Is that magic?”

“It’s a little trick using aura.”

“I’m no Hunter, but using aura for tricks seems like nonsense to begin with.”

Ack.

Come to think of it, Sir Isra used to talk like this too.

I should change the subject.

“They won’t be able to hear our conversation from outside.”

“Then I can speak comfortably.”

“What kind of proposal did GGG make?”

“A raid request.”

A Gate, you mean.

“GGG must have tons of Hunters. Why specifically me?”

“From what I heard, there’s good reason for it.”

An A-rank Gate that appeared not far from LA.

At first, they thought it was an ordinary rift and sent Hunters in.

But then.

Not long after the Hunters entered, it turned into a closed-type Gate.

A few hours later, the Gate that had turned red returned to normal.

“Everyone who entered must have died.”

“GGG is making the same assumption.”

“Still, the justification for my participation seems weak.”

“The William Faction apparently pushed for it strongly.”

“William?”

“There are two factions in GGG Guild. Think of it as the opposing line to Executive Sophia.”

But why did they propose a raid to me?

“Since they gave you a Tower of Chaos entry ticket, the justification is that the guild should request help in return.”

“This William fellow seems to want to embarrass the opposing faction.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s go then. Whatever.”

A Gate with no information?

Big deal.

I’ll raid it for them.

Might as well give that William bastard who tried to screw me over a finger too.
