S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 177



Only Noblemtl

177. Garden name engraved on a sign

-Ugh.

The answer came from the leader of the garden. It was a roar that no longer felt hostile.

“Sir. That is…!”

“Yes. It seems like the peace treaty went well.”

The mandrakes of both camps nodded at each other, signaling that they would get along well from now on.

Cheon Do-woon laughed when he saw that. The group also laughed.

In that pleasant atmosphere, No. 49 and Seok Woo-hyuk stopped thinking.

This is something that goes beyond their own thinking. It is not something that can be understood by force.

I decided to accept it that way.

“By the way, I’m curious about Sasa’s reaction. Why is it so quiet?”

Cheon Do-woon looked around.

For some reason, no active judges were seen in the Mandragora work.

“Sir, the sasa is hiding over there.”

Kim Na-ri pointed to the newly created garden.

Behind the stone rim, a yellow feather like a chick was visible.

-Beep…?

The hermit peeked into the new garden.

The snacks have piled up. I wonder if there are any leaves inside that I can nibble on.

The herdsman looked around the garden with eagle eyes.

-Beep, beep…!

There it is. I found it. What caught the Sasa’s eye was a 3cm-sized baby root.

The small pieces looked like they could be eaten in one bite. The tender-looking leaves looked especially delicious.

The excited priest waved the flowers on his head from side to side.

“They are aiming for it.”

“I’m aiming for it.”

“Can I leave it like this?”

The sasa did not take his eyes off the baby root. Kim Na-ri fidgeted at that.

“Oh, sir. That little mandragora looks dangerous. It’s not plump yet.”

“That’s right. Judging from its small size, it looks like it was born not long ago.”

Mandragora propagation begins from the rhizome.

When a root detached from the body absorbs mana for several decades, it transforms into a mandragora.

When you think about it, that size was for a root that had only been born for a short time.

“Sir, isn’t it dangerous to leave the roots together with the sasaeng?”

“It’ll be okay. The dormant volcano roots’ camp has an iron wall of defense.”

At Cheon Do-un’s words, the group inspected the garden.

The large roots were buried in a circular shape. The young roots were inside.

The baby root was buried deepest among them.

“Joseph’s roots are next to it.”

The largest root was standing right next to it.

It felt like the final checkpoint in case all other camps were breached.

“Indeed. You are a species with strong kinship. Do you protect your young ones as your top priority?”

The siblings were amazed.

Even when the opponent had five roots, the Sasa was always outnumbered.

When you think about it, there doesn’t seem to be any danger of the baby root being eaten by the devil.

“The roots are fine, but at this point, it doesn’t look like it’s worth killing.”

But since I couldn’t just give him the leaves of the Mandragora, I had to find another way that would satisfy him.

“Sir, now we have two gardens in the yard. It would be a good idea to name them so that we don’t get confused.”

“name?”

Cheon Do-woon looked at the garden.

To distinguish between the two camps, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give them names.

What name would be good? As Cheon Do-woon pondered, the siblings became nervous.

The chances of him giving it the right name are less than 30%.

Occasionally, a good name like ‘Dodaki’ would come out, but that was very rare.

Cheon Do-woon saw the first vegetable garden.

Three roots brought from Seolsan Mountain.

One of the roots I received from Manager Kim.

One metal root that joined by chance.

“The first garden is a collection of roots from various places. How about a weedy garden that takes advantage of that characteristic?”

“Okay, weeds…! Awesome!”

Kim Na-ri clenched her hands and shouted.

On the contrary, the siblings frowned. The name came out as they had feared.

Cheon Do-woon turned his gaze to the second garden.

Roots that migrated there to escape the volcano have settled there.

There was only one name that would make use of that characteristic.

“That side is a field of fire.”

“Oh, fire! Alright. That feels strong!”

Kim Na-ri shouted with sparkling eyes.

The siblings looked up at the sky for a moment at the expected disaster.

Since they had some idea of ​​what was going on, the siblings did not suffer any psychological damage.

But it wasn’t number 49 and Seok Woo-hyuk. They were shaken by their naming sense as they experienced Cheon Do-woon’s for the first time.

Weeds and fire. Are you serious?

‘You’re joking, right?’

No. That expression is sincere. The two of them broke out in a cold sweat when they realized that.

‘Well, yeah, well… there’s no reason to call it anything different from a person’s name. If the goal is to distinguish them, then it doesn’t matter.’

If you think about it positively, the advantage is that it is intuitive and there is no need to get confused.

“Okay. Now that we’ve decided on the field name, shall we put up a sign?”

“Hey, you’re putting up a sign?”

“Oh. There’s some wood in the cellar to use as firewood. You can make it with that. The snow has almost melted, you know.”

The siblings were taken aback by Cheon Do-woon’s words. They had never thought that he would erect a sign with that name.

‘Should I change my name now?’

While the siblings hesitated, Kim Na-ri ran to the basement storage room. In an instant, she came out with several thick bundles of firewood.

“Sir, is this size okay?”

“Yeah. That’s perfect.”

Cheon Do-woon took the thread out of his finger after measuring its size.

They brushed past the trees.

In an instant, two small pillars and two wide plates appeared.

Cheon Do-un used green spider webs to connect the pillars and boards.

“Kim Na-ri. It’s your turn now.”

He handed the made sign to Kim Na-ri. Kim Na-ri shot lasers with her eyes as if she had been waiting.

【Weed Field】

A subtle phrase was engraved on the sign.

“Okay. This way too.”

Kim Na-ri’s laser was fired again.

【Fire Field】

The siblings turned their heads away, unable to look any further.

If I had known how to put up a sign, I would have intervened when naming it.

I regretted it later, but the sign had already been completed.

“Oh oh, it’s done! This is cool!”

Kim Na-ri put up signs in each garden.

Weeds and fire.

The names of the gardens of both camps have been decided.

* * *

“Okay. The field name is resolved. Now all that’s left is to investigate the World Tree fruit.”

Cheon Do-woon took out the World Tree fruit from his bag.

There was no known information on this, so I had to ask Joseph to research it.

“If you’re going to Joseph, why don’t you take a few mandragoras with you?”

“Mandragora?”

“Oh. Of course, I’m not saying that you should give it to him. Considering his twisted personality, he probably won’t cooperate nicely. I’m just shaking the bait.”

Of course, you can force them to cooperate by force.

However, there were bound to be differences in the results between forced and voluntary research.

“Okay. Then I’ll take a few roots.”

Cheon Do-woon looked around the newly created field. He dug up the largest root among them.

-Huh…?

Joseph’s Mandragora.

Joseph’s inscribed formula remained on this root.

When you see it, you will realize that it is the root you lost decades ago.

“Should I take this guy too?”

Cheon Do-un also dug up the baby roots buried next to him.

“The wild ones that were born not long ago are rare. They will show interest.”

This too would have made Joseph very nervous if he saw it.

The bait has been prepared for Joseph. Now all he has to do is wave it in front of him.

Cheon Do-woon smiled and took out the return stone.

* * *

After passing the gate, Cheon Do-woon detected Joseph’s energy.

The place we arrived at was Manager Kim’s store in the slums.

As we entered, we saw Joseph sitting at the counter.

‘All the staff here are done.’

Today, Joseph was also looking after the store at Manager Kim’s request.

Cheon Do-woon entered the lobby, but Joseph did not notice.

He was watching a video of something on a pad he had left on the counter.

【Gold City Chimera Incident Special】

A title like that was floating on the screen.

At that moment, a video of Cheon Do-woon lifting a stick suddenly appeared.

“Ugh, this part is unnecessary.”

Joseph was startled when Cheon Do-woon came into view and pressed the ’10 seconds later’ button.

“Okay. Here. It starts here.”

This time, the scene that came out was a close-up of Dodak.

A mandragora swinging a small branch of the world tree.

Every time that manly gaze appeared, Joseph snorted.

I looked at the same part over and over again, scribbling something in my notebook.

The angle at which the branches of the world tree are swayed.

The timing when light starts to shine forth.

Dodaki’s dignified gaze.

‘Why are you writing about Dodak’s eyes?’

Cheon Do-woon snickered. Meanwhile, Joseph, who had finished writing his notes, sighed.

“I should have been there. Mandragora using the power of the World Tree… I missed my chance to see it.”

Couldn’t I see that power right before my eyes? Joseph muttered with a pitiful face.

“show me?”

“If you do that, I’ll have no more wishes… Ugh!”

Joseph was startled by the voice he heard behind him.

When I saw Cheon Do-woon standing behind me, I fell off my chair.

“Why, why did you come here… to see Manager Kim?”

“No. I came today because I have business for you.”

Cheon Do-woon sat on the sofa opposite him. Joseph’s eyes sparkled as he took out a quilt from his fanny pack.

He, who had been watching Dodak on video just a moment ago, looked moved.

‘Your clothes are different from the last time I saw you. Indeed. These are clothes that give off the spirit of a hero.’

Joseph nodded in admiration, but also in anxiety.

I don’t think Cheon Do-woon came to see Dodak’s fashion show.

Cheon Do-woon put the dodakki down next to him and took out a second mandragora from his waist bag.

“That, that…! Oh my gosh. I never thought I’d see such a small wild thing!”

A small mandragora measuring 3 centimeters.

Joseph knew how to reproduce mandragora.

Considering their rarity, seeing a young mandragora in the wild was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

“Where did you get that?”

“The yard of the house.”

“what…?”

“I got another garden at my house. About thirty roots have moved in.”

“Thirty, thirty roots…!”

Joseph’s mouth opened. The world was unfair.

Why did thirty mandrake roots migrate into that guy’s yard?

“This root is one of them.”

Thud. Joseph sat down weakly in the chair. The world was not fair after all.

He looked at the baby root with an envious face. The root was moving around on Cheon Do-woon’s palm.

He looked around as if wondering where he was and then opened his mouth.

-Whew!

A small but distinct hoot. It was a cry for an adult.

Joseph clutched his chest when he saw that.

Joseph was hit hard by the mandragora that struck him one month after birth.

“Ha… Can I touch it just once?”

It was obvious that he would be told no. Even though he knew that, Joseph asked anyway.

Cheon Do-woon looked at him and put down a root next to him.

It wasn’t going to work after all. The disappointment was short-lived. Cheon Do-woon took out a new root from his waist bag.

A plump body. Strong limbs. Leaves that give off a refreshing feeling.

Anyone can see that it is a healthy root. The moment Joseph saw the root, his eyes widened. His mouth also opened.

“Hey, wait a minute. That, that root…!”

This feeling, this wavelength, this energy that I feel from those roots.

“My, my formula! I can feel my formula from that guy!”

There is no doubt. This is definitely the ‘become healthy formula’ that he created. The formula was engraved on that root.

“No way… No, but… Really…?”

Joseph’s eyes wavered. He couldn’t take his eyes off the roots he had encountered for the first time in decades.

‘I haven’t even taken out the World Tree fruit yet. It’s already having a big effect.’

We haven’t even gotten to the main point yet.

But Joseph clutched his chest, as if he had already exceeded the limit of emotion.
