I’m in trouble because I accidentally took away the protagonist’s
awakening event. Episode 310

“Huh?!”

Just after passing through the bushes that had just fallen over the road, Yuha slammed on the brakes with a startled expression.

Squeak. The car shook violently with a tire squeal.

I grabbed the handrail hanging from the ceiling. My body was thrown forward due to inertia, but luckily the seat belt held me tightly.

The car skidded for another dozen meters before finally stopping.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“I was a little surprised, but it’s okay.”

“I am so glad.”

“What happened? Why did you suddenly slam on the brakes like that?”

“The road is cut off.”

Yuha lifted his chin and pointed straight ahead. Only then did I look out the windshield.

The road, which had been poorly managed and cracked like a drought-stricken field, was cut off in the middle as if it had been cut off.

Beyond the broken road lay a wide, sunken basin.

I almost dived from my car without a parachute.

High-ranking Awakened people are strong, so they won’t die, but they might have lost all the food and water they brought with them and had to return to the colony.

“I’ll get off first and take a look around.”

I got out of the car and walked towards the cliff.

According to what I heard from Kim Beom, the catastrophic monster that the expedition team encountered was headed towards this area.

I poked my head out a little and looked down the cliff.

I saw a city that had collapsed into ruins, huge trees growing haphazardly as if parasitic on it, and monsters that had adapted to that environment and were living there.

I didn’t sense any monsters with particularly strong auras. The range was too wide to detect at once.

It seemed like it would take a considerable amount of time to find the catastrophic monster.

“huh?”

Suddenly, I noticed something like a large scratch on the top of a tree growing on the side of the broken road.

I flew into the sky and climbed up the tree.

Deep, thick claw marks were carved into a branch thicker than my torso.

There were three marks in front and one in back.

‘I can’t tell what kind of creature it is just by looking at this.’

It could have been the claw marks of the target, a catastrophic monster, or it could have been the traces of another monster.

‘Let’s ask Yuha first.’

Yuha saw these traces better.

I jumped down from the tree.

Yuha was standing on the edge of the cliff, looking down, just like I was.

“I guess that’s our destination.”

He walked over and unfolded the holographic map.

Comparing the scenery before my eyes with the map, I could see that the last place where the catastrophic monster was seen was slightly further east than here.

I guess it would be better to start investigating nearby.

“Gayoung.”

“Huh? Why?”

When I looked back, Yuha was standing there with a stiff expression on his face.

He looked very nervous, as if he was about to face a dangerous monster. He said.

“I have something I want to give to Gayoung.”

Suddenly a sharp wind blew, blowing my hair away. I asked, running one hand through my messy hair.

“What’s going on that makes you so excited?”

Yuha reached into his pocket and took out a box the size of the palm of his hand.

It was a luxurious box with a subtle gold color.

My heart was pounding.

If I’m not mistaken, it looked like a ring box.

The way he opened the box, his lips parting, seemed to be in slow motion.

“Me and…….”

“Kkiyaaaaak!”

It was at this moment that a glimpse of shiny metal appeared between the half-open boxes.

A large, black monster fell from the sky like lightning, snatched the box Yuha was holding with its sharp claws, and flew into the sky in one breath.

Because it was such a sudden event, his mind was unable to process the situation, so he just blinked for a while, staring at his empty hands.

Then he quickly raised his head and shouted.

“No, that crazy bird XX!”

I think it was the first time I saw Yuha swear like that.

He bent his knees slightly, his face flushed red. A wild, uncontrolled wind blew around his body.

“Now, just a moment!”

I came to my senses only when Yuha’s toes rose slightly into the air, and I quickly approached him and grabbed his arm.

“What are you going to do?”

“I’ll chase after you and get the box back.”

“It’s too dangerous.”

I looked back and forth between the monster that had already soared high into the sky and turned into a dot, and the forest below the cliff that stretched out wide.

“Do you know what kind of monster is down there?”

“that…….”

“A monster of calamitous proportions has been spotted nearby. Even if Yuha is an A-class Awakener, it will be difficult for him to remain unharmed if he is surrounded by powerful monsters.”

“Ugh…….”

Yuha frowned and clenched his teeth.

He seemed quite angry.

He took a moment to catch his breath, then scratched his head nervously and let out a sigh that felt like the ground was about to cave in.

Then the wind that had been blowing around slowly died down.

“I’m sorry for looking disheveled.”

“It’s okay. But…….”

I couldn’t continue speaking easily and mumbled.

Just before being intercepted by the monster, a thin metal object was glimpsed.

Judging by the size and shape of the box, it was most likely a ring.

Although this world is a little different from the one I was born in, the meaning of giving a ring to a person of the opposite sex is no different.

‘Let’s not make assumptions. We almost got embarrassed last time.’

It was the same when I was invited to an amusement park.

I thought it was a date, so I dressed up and packed a lunch and went out, but my parents and younger sibling were waiting for me.

Of course, that may have been the opportunity for me to reconcile with my parents, but there was also a possibility that I had made a stupid mistake.

“Can you tell me what was in the box?”

“that…….”

Yuha couldn’t speak easily and just smiled.

Was it really a ring?

So that’s why you can’t say it?

My heart pounded hard against my chest as if it wanted to jump out at any moment.

I hugged my swollen chest and waited for his answer.

“It’s a short-distance communication auxiliary device. I was asked by So-hye to test it.”

“……I see.”

I looked down at the ground and secretly cleared my mind.

Look, I almost made another mistake.

If I had asked if it was a ring, what would have been the embarrassment?

My face felt hot for no reason.

I turned around and spoke carefully, keeping my face out of sight.

“It can’t be helped since it was taken by a monster. Let’s do the test again next time.”

As we pushed through the bushes toward the sound of water, we came across a brook with water trickling down its banks.

Yuha, with a practiced movement, knocked off a large snow-covered rock near the stream, took out a snack from his bag, and set the table.

I sat on the rock and had a late lunch with him and asked him:

“Is there really a catastrophic monster nearby?”

“Maybe not. I just confirmed that they were flying this way. I didn’t find a nest either.”

“Then aren’t we just wasting our time?”

“Just making it clear that we don’t live here will go a long way in determining the scope of future expeditions.”

“I wish you had shown up sooner.”

It’s been three days since we descended down the cliff and began searching for the catastrophic monster.

I’m looking counterclockwise from the left, but I haven’t found any plausible traces yet.

We were only about a third of the way through, and worst case scenario we would be stuck in the woods for another week or so.

“Mr. Yuha, please pick that up.”

After finishing the meal, I was cleaning up empty tin cans and such.

The moment the tin can sparkled and shone in the sunlight, a shadow suddenly fell over his head.

“It’s a monster!”

Yuha and I lowered our postures and raised our heads.

A large, black bird was falling like lightning towards the ground.

The sight looked quite familiar. It was the same monster that had stolen a box of short-range communication aids from Yuha a few days ago.

“I’m glad I met you! I won’t miss you this time!”

Yuha also recognized the guy and frowned as he abruptly got up from his seat.

He woke up with the wind swirling around his body.

“Kkiyaaaaak?!”

Without any time to speak, a gust of wind as sharp as a blade shot out.

The startled monster tried to turn around quickly, but the blades of wind were faster than it could tear its wings apart.

The bastard fell to the floor, screaming.

“I’ll go and finish it.”

Only then did Yuha, whose anger had subsided, speak in a calm voice and take out the cube.

But that was exactly when it happened.

“Kkiyaak!”

“Kkiyaaaaak!”

“Crap!”

With a loud, ear-piercing noise, giant bird monsters descended from the clouds.

As if they had discovered us, the seven monsters began to circle around us, looking down at the ground.

It was as different in size from the monster that had fallen a moment ago as an adult and a child.

Maybe he was a baby monster.

Perhaps the parents came looking for the baby monster after suddenly hearing its sad screams.

But the real problem wasn’t its size.

I could feel a terrifyingly large M-energy coming from each and every one of them.

I said, swallowing hard.

“Mr. Yuha, be careful. They are all disaster-level monsters.”
