S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 200



Only Noblemtl

200. King Dodak’s House Blueprint

White mud dripped from Goo Woo’s body.

The gourd was still standing on the swamp, but it did not sink.

It was as if the swamp was pushing the ox out.

“How are you feeling?”

Gu-woo couldn’t answer. He looked down at his body. Cheon-do-un also looked down.

He who had to be lifted up before, now had to be put down.

-Your eye level feels a bit strange. It seems much higher than before. Is it because you’ve grown so much in the past?

“That can’t be it. It’s definitely bigger than when I first saw it.”

At first sight, the grilled fish was about two meters in size.

At first glance, it looked like it was about 5 meters tall.

“If things continue as they are now, everyone will be surprised.”

-I guess so. It would be nice if I could shrink my body to a reasonable size.

Cheon Do-un and Gu-woo laughed.

Unlike them who were cheerful, Joseph who was watching had his mouth open.

‘What the heck is that? Does it change like that when you go into a swamp?’

Joseph saw Cheon Do-un without knowing it.

What would happen if Cheon Do-un entered the swamp?

A cold sweat ran down his back. In his mind, he imagined Cheon Do-un growing to a size of 5 meters.

‘Ah… no.’

Just thinking about it makes the hairs on my body stand on end.

This is something that must be stopped, if only for the sake of world peace.

“That swamp is more effective than I thought. I think it would be useful if I took it home.”

I think it would make a great fertilizer if spread on the garden.

Cheon Do-woon thought to himself. Joseph, who did not know his thoughts, blocked his way in a dazed manner.

“I, I don’t think that’s good!”

“You don’t like it? Why?”

“That… could be dangerous. I think it would be better to do some more research before using the swamp. The reactions may vary depending on the individual.”

Joseph was desperate. He had to stop the giant Thousand Clouds from growing.

I thought so because I didn’t know that Cheon Do-woon was treating the swamp as fertilizer.

“Think about it. Even Dodak went into the swamp, right? But Dodak didn’t grow any bigger. In contrast, that monster called Gu-woo grew bigger. The part where the swamp’s power works is definitely different for each person.”

It’s safer to investigate further, Joseph argued.

“That’s not wrong.”

Cheon Do-woon was convinced. Joseph was relieved by that.

If you block it well, Cheondoun won’t grow to a size of 5 meters.

‘I saved the world.’

Joseph wiped the sweat from his forehead with that face.

“But if that’s the sap of the World Tree, why is it on the island?”

“Well, it could have been carried on the body of a bird. Or it could have crossed the ocean directly… I’ll have to look into that as well.”

“Really? If you can cross the ocean, you can get off the island.”

Let’s keep him on the island until we finish investigating the swamp.

Cheon Do-un surrounded the entire island with a mana wall. Joseph’s face turned red at that.

It’s not a small island, but they’re covering it up in its entirety. It’s a monster no matter how you look at it.

I can’t even guess how much mana Cheon Do-un has.

“That’s all for the swamp. Take a bottled mud sample and examine it.”

Joseph nodded.

Joseph secretly vowed to himself that he would never turn into an enemy.

* * *

When they arrived at the beach with Goo, the siblings looked surprised.

“Could that be Guu?”

“that’s right.”

“It’s gotten so big. Was it originally that size?”

“That’s not it. It got bigger as I was recovering my strength. I don’t know why.”

When I told the siblings about what happened in the swamp, they laughed as if it was interesting.

Whatever it was, the Coconut Family’s power increased.

Kim Na-ri, who was next to him, was also surprised.

Kim Na-ri circled around Gu-woo with her mouth open.

“The goo has grown bigger!”

“Yeah. It’s grown.”

“It’s so big. It’s so cool. I… I have to draw a gourd! I think I have to draw this!”

Kim Na-ri quickly picked up the crayon. Kim Na-ri’s artistic spirit was still burning.

Cheon Do-woon looked at Gu-woo with a sly smile.

“Guu. You spar with the Chimera and the trio here. They’ll be in the forest.”

-A sparring partner? I’m not sure if it’ll be okay since I’m still having trouble controlling my strength.

“It’s okay. Just don’t die.”

Cheon Do-woon said. It’s a low hurdle as long as you don’t die.

As the burden lifted, Gu-woo nodded.

-If that’s the case, then there’s no problem.

Gu-u has been added to the Family’s sparring opponents.

The trio, who were running away from the chimeras in the forest, simultaneously felt their backs tingle.

The chimera chasing them also had its hair standing on end.

‘What is it? Why am I getting chills like this?’

Something feels ominous. I feel like something scary is about to happen. Is it just my imagination?

‘It must be my imagination.’

Nam Ki-seok and Seok Woo-hyeok, number 49, tried hard to think that way.

Contrary to expectations, the bristled fluff did not settle down.

* * *

It’s already been ten days since we enjoyed our vacation on the island.

Cheon Do-woon leisurely looked around the island. At the end of his gaze was Joseph.

“Oh, yeah, yeah. Do you like this grandpa? Hehe. It looks like you like this nutritious and moist special cream.”

-Phew!

The chimera of thorns and mandragora, the grass roots followed Joseph well.

I liked the nourishing cream that Joseph applied.

Grassroots lay on Joseph’s lap and received a massage.

As I rubbed a generous amount of cream on my stomach, Grassroots’ eyes slowly closed.

-Pheung… Pheuung… .

Ah, this is paradise. The grass roots felt happy. Joseph felt happy too.

A plant monster that doesn’t reject itself. This island must be heaven.

‘You have a face that looks like you’ll have no regrets even if you die.’

Cheon Do-woon smiled at Joseph.

Nearby, Kim Na-ri was drawing Joseph and the grass roots.

The profound expression on his face gave off an atmosphere that made it difficult to speak.

Cheon Do-un passed them and entered the forest.

There, Nam Gi-seok, Seok Woo-hyeok, and number 49 were lying on the floor.

“Ugh… .”

“Ugh… .”

“Ugh….”

They let out strange groans.

His whole body was covered in dirt. His clothes were torn in places. His face was pale.

If someone who didn’t know saw it, they would mistake it for a zombie.

‘The growth of the trio also seems to be going smoothly.’

Cheon Do-woon passed by them with a satisfied face.

There were chimeras lying around in similar shapes.

Dozens of chimeras lie collapsed with their eyes wide open.

It was an eye that realized that they were frogs in a well.

In the middle of them, Gu-u was lying leisurely, enjoying the sun.

-Are you here?

“Uh. How are the kids doing?”

-There are still some parts that are awkward. If I use it for another ten days, it should be usable. Everyone’s physical abilities are good, after all.

“Really? Then I’ll ask you to do the rest.”

Cheon Do-woon nodded and left the forest.

A brother and sister were lying in a hammock near the beach, eating fruit.

As we came out to the beach, we also saw the mini pool he had created.

Dodaki was relaxing on a mini pool tube.

There were clothes neatly folded next to the pool. This time, I took off my clothes properly and went in.

‘Dodak looks happy too. Nice.’

Everyone is enjoying a fulfilling vacation on the island.

Now that you’ve had your fill of fun, it’s time to get back to work.

Cheon Do-woon raised his arm and gestured.

Blue, who was eating fish on a nearby rock, saw it and flew over.

-Beep?

“Yeah. I’m going to go home for a bit.”

Cheon Do-woon climbed onto Blue. Dodak, who was playing on the tube, saw this and his eyes grew wide.

-Whew!

Assistant, where are you going? Dodak jumped out of the pool.

After pulling down the tube and taking it off, I hugged the clothes that were lying next to me.

Dodaki ran to Cheon Do-woon. The leaves on his back fluttered as he pushed away the booster.

Finish by gathering strength in your feet and jumping high.

-Phew… Yeah!

Biggie somersault. Flying dodak.

A technique that creates the illusion of flying by flapping the leaves growing on one’s back.

Dodaki did three aerial spins and landed on Blue’s back.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

After landing, it is a bonus to take a finishing pose by spreading your arms to the left and right.

It was just an attempt to balance things out, but it was a part where the technical score was a plus.

“That’s cool. Are you going too?”

-Whew!

“Okay. Then let’s get dressed.”

Cheon Do-woon picked up Dodak. He carefully dressed Dodak in the beachwear he was given.

“Where are you going?”

The siblings who had come closer asked.

“I think I can leave this to Gu-u. I’ll go and make a sign.”

“signboard?”

“There’s that conch shell that Number 49 used as a temporary shelter. That was originally intended to be a Coconut Family signboard.”

Now that number 49 has legs, I thought about cutting up the conch shell as it was originally intended to be used to make a sign.

“Okay, I’ll be back. Sometimes you guys can spar with the kids too.”

“I wonder? It looks fun.”

The siblings looked at each other and smiled.

As Blue flew up, the siblings waved their hands to see him off.

As they disappeared, the siblings looked into the forest.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to switch places sometimes so that Gu-u can rest comfortably.

“Shall we go and see?”

“Let’s go and see.”

The siblings released each other and entered the forest.

Nam Ki-seok, Seok Woo-hyeok, and number 49, who had fallen, once again trembled with inexplicable chills.

“What, what is it? I have the chills again. If I keep doing this, something bad will happen.”

60 seconds until the siblings arrive.

The final countdown for the trio to rest has begun.

* * *

Cheon Do-un, who arrived at the forest area, examined the conch shells placed in the yard.

The water that had been filled inside had already dried up.

He took it to the valley, washed it, and cut it into sign-size pieces.

Even the bumpy surface of the sky was carved out very cleanly.

The structure of the conch shell creates a curved plate.

“Not bad.”

A round signboard would also be unique and not bad.

It also had the effect of looking luxurious because it sparkled white like an opal.

‘Now the problem is engraving the letters.’

If Kim Na-ri had come with her, it would have been easy to get it engraved with a laser.

However, since he couldn’t bring a child who was passionate about drawing, Cheon Do-woon decided to carve the letters himself.

Cheon Do-woon raised one finger. It transformed into a blade and became sharp.

Square, square. Fingers that once pierced monsters’ necks were now used as carving knives.

Cheon Do-woon began to dig through the letters with a careful expression.

『Coconut Family』

I dug it quite deep so that the engraving could be seen well.

The crooked writing gave off an eerie atmosphere.

Of course, Cheon Do-woon’s senses could not detect it.

“This much text is enough.”

Cheon Do-woon nodded with a satisfied expression.

The problem is that the sign is not flat but curved. I’ll have to think a little bit about how to put this up.

Cheon Do-woon placed the completed signboard aside and looked at the remaining materials.

As the size of the conch shell was large, there was a lot left over.

It was a shiny yet sturdy material. It was a shame to just throw it away.

What if I cut it into small pieces and put them together to make furniture? I was thinking about that when the conch shell started to rattle.

-Huh?

A turtle poked its face out from within its shell.

-Huh, huh?

Dodaki went back into his shell. After exploring the inside that had spun around, he came out.

The outsider circled around the shell and explored it. He also tapped it to check its strength.

After looking up and down, I went back inside.

“Do you like it inside?”

-Ugh.

“Really? Then with what’s left, should we build a house for Dodak?”

Cheon Do-woon looked at the remaining materials. There was enough to build Dodak’s house.

It sparkled like opal, making it a perfect material for building a king’s residence.

“That’s unusual, though. Mandragora usually prefer to live in the dirt.”

You want a house on the ground? I wonder if your personality has changed as you move around.

Cheon Do-woon smiled. Whatever the reason, there was nothing he wouldn’t do if Dodak wanted it.

‘What would be a good way to build it?’

Cheon Do-woon looked at the remaining materials.

Dodak flinched when he made the architect’s face.

-Whew, Whew!

The helper’s eyes were clearly the eyes of someone who wanted to build his own home.

Dodaki jumped up. He jumped to the same height several times.

Cheon Do-woon looked at it carefully and nodded.

“You want three stories high?”

-Ouch, oh yeah!

The king’s house had to be tall. Dodak demanded a three-story house.

“Okay. What about the area?”

-Phew… Yeah!

Dodaki took out the World Tree’s staff. He drew a large circle on the ground with it.

The king’s house must be spacious. Dodak drew a circle with a diameter of 30 centimeters.

“Yes. A three-story house, 30 centimeters wide. Is that right?”

-Ouch, oh yeah!

“Okay. Then we’ll need stairs. When we go up, we’ll use the stairs. When we come down… Let’s install a slide so we can all come down in one go.”

A blueprint began to form in Cheon Do-woon’s head.

“It would be nice to put up a pole next to it and make a swing.”

-Whew!

Dodaki nodded. The King’s swing was precious.

“Let’s see. I think it would be good to make a jungle gym for physical training.”

A jungle where only the strong can survive.

It is a perfect training ground for a king. Dodaki nodded. He nodded twice.

The leaves on the back fluttered with anticipation.

“I think I should make a mini pool in front of the house too. It seems like he likes playing in water.”

-Whew, Whew!

The King’s Pool. It is a noble place that cannot be missed.

“While we’re at it, it would be nice to make a sand bathing spot too. I’ll have to bring some sand from the beach.”

-Ouch, oh yeah!

The King’s Sand Bath. It is an essential thing.

The rough design has been drawn up.

Cheon Do-woon picked up the cut conch shells. He was about to start working when he stopped for a moment.

‘I think I just had a conversation with Dodak.’

I usually understood what he said well, but now it felt like we were really having a conversation.

Was it just my imagination? Cheon Do-woon looked at Dodak.

“Dodak?”

-Huh?

“Do you like the house?”

-Huh, huh?

The dandelion flapped its leaves. It seemed as if it was fluttering its leaves in affirmation.

Cheon Do-woon smiled with a subtle expression.

‘It seems like Dodak’s intelligence is increasing.’

One day, there may come a day when we can perfectly understand human speech.

It seemed like he was already beginning to understand to some extent.

“That would be fun in its own right.”

Cheon Do-woon laughed. Dodak understands human language. That would certainly be fun, but for now, let’s build Dodak’s house first and then think about it.

Cheon Do-woon started cutting the materials according to the plan in his head.
