I Can See the Comments on the Doomed Novel - Chapter 121

121 – Quirky Night

From noble mtl dot com

“What do you think?”

Eunbyeol asked while watching the bonfire burning.

We spread out the sleeping bags we had prepared in front of him and settled down.

I brought a tent, but I don’t think you’ll need to use it.

The temperature here is not very chilly even at night, but rather close to the warm side.

I ate the delicious crops the rabbit gave me, so I’m full.

‘What is so comfortable?’

It really is a nice world to live in.

If the players hadn’t invaded, it would have been paradise for the animals.

“You mean Eve’s suggestion?”

“Actually, if it’s a fight, it’s a story that I’ve been prepared for. Umm, I didn’t know that the godhead would even ask for it himself.”

Eve, the deity of this place, went into the rabbit hole and slept soundly.

It seems that even the Goddess needs to sleep.

Looking at her appearance or behavior, she was indistinguishable from an ordinary child.

A girl like that is the god who rules this place?

Honestly, it would have been hard to believe if it weren’t for the message and situation.

“First of all, I don’t think it’s a bad story. There is no other way for us.”

If it was a request to save all the animals living here, I would have refused.

But Eve’s request is, at best, to release the seal somewhere.

It’s not much different from the quests we’ve been doing.

It’s not impossible to grant that kind of request.

‘Above all, it’s a story that benefits us too.’

The clearing condition for this quest, as Eve said, is ‘earning 100,000 points’.

To be honest, it is a quest that is difficult for us now to achieve.

Hunting hundreds of animals and killing dozens of people is achievable.

There are practical problems, but I don’t really want to go that far.

Above all, if you start killing openly, you will have no choice but to be checked by other players.

On the other hand, Eve’s request was only to release the seal of the guardian deity.

As the goal is clear, the burden is much less.

‘Of course, that won’t be easy either.’

If the divinity is willing to ask for it, you have to be prepared for battle to some extent.

At the same time, it is also certain that it is the option with the highest possibility of clearing the quest for us.

To be honest, it’s not like we can afford to stay still.

“Assuming what Eve said is true…actually, things aren’t quite as good for us either.”

Now there are still many other prey, so they won’t mind us either.

Competing with other groups, they won’t have the energy to care about me.

But what if the prey becomes scarce after a long time?

There is no reason to leave me alone as I can give you 1000 points just for catching it once.

‘Besides, the opponent doesn’t seem weak.’

From Eve’s words, it seems that some of the players who participated in this quest signed a contract with the famous ‘Apollon’.

If such a person properly organizes a group and attacks, it is difficult even for the current country to guarantee victory.

Immediately, Eve, who has been watching me for so long, said it would be difficult.

It is best to avoid such situations.

“So I have to clear the quest now, which is still in the early stages, and that is not easy either. In that case, choosing the variable, Eve, would be a way.”

“Hmm, I like that part too.”

Eunbyeol smiled and nodded her head.

It seems that he thinks it’s better to bet on the other side than to kill people or slaughter his beloved rabbit.

Actually, I felt the same way.

Eve… In other words, I’m not even familiar with the ‘dream of the night that’s like a dream’.

‘I never thought I’d be such a child.’

The ‘dream of the night that is like a dream’ that actively supported me more than any other deity and sent me various messages.

There were times when I received a king, but I received a lot during that time, and I heard about it.

It’s not like I don’t have a desire to do a favor properly if possible.

“If there is a problem, it must be the Apollo player that Eve said.”

“You said you had the power of prophecy, right?”

The reason why Eve was especially wary of him, among other players.

That’s because one of Apollo’s powers is the ability of prophecy… To be precise, it has the power of an oracle.

Perhaps you already know the conditions for clearing this quest, and there is a high probability that you even know about the existence of Eve.

‘Well, there is a legend that says Apollo actually gave prophecies and oracles to humans. A player who signed a contract with him might be able to do that.’

It is quite a famous story that Apollo gave a prophecy to humans through the Temple of Delphi.

There are sun, archery, music, medicine and so on.

A godhead who is said to be the most outstanding among the sons of Zeus, whose field he is in charge of is enormous.

The player is directly supported by Apollo, and at the same time, it is said that he can get clues about the quest a little faster through his prophecy ability.

‘……But are the quest rewards that great? To the extent that a god equal to Apollo would provide such support?’

Anyway, if that was the case, there was a good chance that person would hinder us on the contrary.

Whether it’s a guardian deity, Eve gaining strength and resisting is probably a situation you want to avoid at all costs.

“…….Move as fast as possible. I think it’s better to move before the players get together properly.”

“That’s true too.”

I don’t know if it’s a human or something else, but I have to start fighting again tomorrow.

I laid back comfortably.

My head is complicated by many things, but my body is comfortable.

When I think about it, it was a completely different situation.

At that time, a rustling sound came from the side.

“Hey Eunbyeol?”

“Yes~?”

“Aren’t you too close?”

“It’s chilly because it’s outside.”

“The weather is nice, isn’t it quite warm?”

“Umm~ Isn’t it?”

Eunbyul smiled at me while lying on her side.

Looking at his happy face, he couldn’t help but say to leave.

“Whoops! It’s like you’re at camp. If it wasn’t for the quest, it would have been much more enjoyable.”

“Hmm, that’s right.”

Even if there are zombies, they are not a big threat to us today.

Even other players can be opponents, except in rare cases.

If it wasn’t for the damn quest, I think I might have lived a lot more comfortably.

Well, it’s ‘destruction’ and ‘novel’ because I didn’t leave it alone.

“I’m glad it wasn’t as difficult as I thought. At first, I was a little worried because it was a survival show.”

“I lived thanks to the rabbits.”

Thanks to the rabbits that happened to be saved, food and nesting were solved.

You’re probably having a much richer day than other players.

“Um, is it okay if I say something embarrassing?”

“Yes? What?”

“Didn’t Jihoon think that he wanted to help Eve and the rabbit from the beginning?”

“…A little like that.”

No matter what, I am also human.

That is true even if you perceive this world as a novel.

Even in the original creative world, there is an unwritten rule that children should not be brutally killed.

Isn’t it normal to think that we want to prevent small animals and children who know their names from being brutally slaughtered?

“…But we can’t be in danger.”

I have a farewell right now to act on my own.

In addition to Yuri and Hyena, who may be coming here soon.

You shouldn’t put everyone in danger just because of goodwill.

Because Hyena made that choice for her own beliefs and for us.

“I thought I would take Eve’s side only because I decided that it was safer and more likely to survive.”

“Umm~ I don’t think so, right?”

Eunbyul smirked and made a mischievous expression.

“Maybe Jihoon helped Eve by coming up with another reason. Because he is that kind of person.”

“……Aren’t you looking at me too well?”

“Maybe. Isn’t that why you’re right next to me? I am a woman whose eyes are higher than they look?”

As Eunbyul said, she held my hand tightly.

Contrary to the word cold, her hands were warm.

“Ji-hoon tries to pretend to be cold-hearted and calculating. In fact, he is a very kind person. A person who sheds tears when a character he likes in a movie or novel dies.”

“…… “

“Because they are fundamentally kind, they will not change even in this terrible world.”

“I don’t think that’s really the case… ….”

It’s a little strange feeling about that part.

At least I’ve never considered myself a good person.

Maybe… I might like this situation more than before.

It is true that destruction is terrible, and it is true that quests are troublesome to do.

But if it wasn’t for this, would I have become so close with Hyena and Yuri?

Honestly, I think it must have been difficult thinking about the past.

I probably never met Eunbyeol at all.

If it was the same situation as before, I would never have imagined meeting like this.

‘But now we’re sleeping next to each other like this.’

When I didn’t know that this world was a novel, what would I think if I saw myself now?

He must have become much stronger and more capable than before.

At the same time, I see people as just ‘characters’, and I don’t mind using them or killing them if necessary.

Will you be envious of your luck, or will you be disappointed when you see yourself changed?

This world is definitely a novel.

But it is also a clear reality in which we live.

I think it can’t be helped in this world, but there are people like Hyena and Eunbyeol who live without violating their own conscience.

Looking at that makes me wonder if I’ve really grown up.

After all, ‘myself’ is the most important person for me.

‘……Am I simply lacking in courage?’

To put it a bit extreme…I think I laugh more now than in the past.

Even though the world has become like this.

“The me of the past and the me of now are probably very different.”

“I guess so. It’s very different from when I first saw it. If it was back then, holding my hand like this would have made my face blush.”

“…It must have been an adaptation in a bad way.”

“Hmm~ So, do you need a stronger stimulus?”

Eunbyeol drew a smile with a bewitching eye smile.

Is it because of the night and special circumstances?

That face looks more attractive than usual.

At the same time, I felt that I didn’t want to take my eyes off that smile.

“…….You look pretty happy.”

At that time, there was a voice from the side.

When I turned my head, Eve was looking at us with a sullen face.

“Uh…Eve? Weren’t you sleeping?”

“The rabbit hole was colder than I thought. Excuse me for a moment.”

After saying that, Eve burrowed into my sleeping bag.

Being so small, she took her place easily without being too tight.

“Hmm, I like it because it’s cozy. It feels good.”

“……Even if you give in a hundred times, shouldn’t you go to Eunbyeol rather than me, a man?”

“How much is the coin I gave you? Wouldn’t it be all right if I did this much?”

With that being said, there is nothing more to say.

Eve smiled as if she had won and dug deeper into my arms.

I wanted to say more, but I was already getting ready to go to sleep.

She looked at Eunbyeol, but to her, Eve seemed to be her little child.

“Yeah, he’s popular with cute girls. Jihoon is a happy person.”

‘…Can’t help it.’

I had no choice but to settle down.

Because she was still a child, Eve’s body was warm.

Eve suddenly mumbled.

“……Please take good care of me from tomorrow.”

“…..Yes.”

Somehow, I ended up becoming a bodyguard of a godhead, but it wasn’t a bad feeling.
