At the south side of the peaceful Metheus, the shantytown where users stayed...

There were constant incidents so the most manpower was used to patrol this area. Recently, there was a vigilante group and the person responsible for it was Ma Seokdu. He was the head of Legless Bird who settled in Metheus at Park Muyeol’s request.

He was currently taking a break with his brothers in the secret base of the vigilantes, which was made with wooden planks. There was the sound of the door opening and everyone’s heads turned there.

“Can I come in?”

“You’re here.”

It was Becker, the vice-captain of the Sylphid Knights staying in Metheus. The other day, Ma Seokdu dragged the pickpocket who stole his money into the room of honesty and it was very peaceful (?). He was discovered by Becker wandering nearby and took up the task of a vigilante.

“It is worth staying here, except for all the flies,” Ma Seokdu replied nonchalantly as he lowered his feet from the table.

Then he walked to Becker and shook his hand. Becker smiled and held this person’s hand. “It is thanks to you that this south side has become quiet.”

“Haha, Brother Becker has also done a great job. We just went and frowned.”

Ma Seokdu smiled with his fierce face. Becker’s heart couldn’t help falling the moment he saw this face. There were some people in the world who looked so frightening. Anyone who met this face would naturally be polite and stop what they were doing.

“Cough. I have something to ask you.”

“You want to ask something?” Ma Seokdu’s eyes widened like he was surprised there was something Becker wanted to ask.

“Yes, I’ve received information that a very vicious criminal has entered the village.”

“Huh? Who is it?”

“I think he has a grudge against your vigilante group. Go to the bar with the sign ‘Scarlet’ in this vicinity. I’ll be waiting.”

“Shouldn’t such a vicious criminal be caught with the Sylphid Knights? We can assist.”

“There is no justification because he hasn’t made trouble yet. I was asked to bring all the vigilantes, including you.”

“Hmm, there are all sorts of strange people. Brother, will you go?”

“Yes. Of course, I have to go.”

Ma Seokdu sighed deeply and touched his close cropped head. Then he looked back. The other members of the vigilante group, who were lying on a sofa as spacious as a bed, all rose quietly. It seemed like they were waiting.

“Let’s go to work.”

All of the vigilantes’ eyes, including Ma Seokdu, were glowing fiercely.

* * *

Kerenos and I went to Metheus’ downtown. It was to meet those in the ‘vigilante group.’ We knew how to handle the wind so we could ride the wind and get to downtown Metheus in an instant. I was able to meet Becker and the Sylphid Knights.

“Ma Seokdu is a friend. He is a very talented brother. It is to the extent that we can call each other brothers.”

I knew the name Ma Seokdu. I hadn’t expected this guy to be a vigilante in Metheus. By the way, he came here so quickly. Indeed, young people were different.

Becker asked me, “Do you want to meet them? The vigilantes are close to this place.”

I thought for a moment about Becker’s words. I had never told Ma Seokdu about my identity. I was bored. Should I play a joke on them?

“Bring them here, Becker.” I pointed to a bar that had the sign ‘Scarlet.’ Looking inside, it had no guests and was a quiet place. It was a very good place to have a drink. Of course, the initiation ceremony needed to be held before that.

Becker wondered, “The reason doesn’t matter?”

“Yes, I just want to have a look at their skills.

“I understand what you’re saying. Then I’ll roughly make up a reason.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

Becker and the Sylphid Knights disappeared into the area where the vigilantes were located.

30 minutes passed...

“I think they’ve come, old man.”

I was sitting at a table with Kerenos and drinking beer. I looked around at the crowd and emptied the beer in front of me. Then I placed the beer cup on the wooden table.

“I’m going.Wait here a moment.”

“Yes~ take it easy. The kids will get hurt.”

“Who knows? It depends on how strong they are. I will start lightly.”

I opened the door and went outside. Naturally, I used Cognitive Impairment to conceal my face and voice. There was a prominent figure in the group walking toward this place. At one glance, I could see the person called Ma Seokdu.

...I didn’t know that someone could look even fiercer than Park Muyeol.

“Did you call me? Alone?”

“I’m solo.”

“No, I didn’t ask if you’re part of a couple.”

Ma Seokdu cocked his head in a suspicious manner and looked around him. All of those standing next to him seemed to be members of Legless Bird. They looked really scary. Ma Seokdu opened his mouth, “Hmm. You’re really alone. By the way, where are you going? Come here for a second. Go with me to the room of honesty.”

If Park Muyeol was similar to a bear, Ma Seokdu walking over right now really was a bear. The small but solid body made me feel like I was looking at a strong rock. At first glance, the word ‘tanker’ was written on his forehead.

...Let’s start lightly. I took the fork spoon out of my inventory after a long time. The durability had slightly decreased during the last match against Reinhardt, but it hadn’t decreased since then.

“Hey, what is that? Give me the thing in your hand.”

Ma Seokdu’s sturdy arm stretched out. I gently hit the arm aside and my clothes flapped as I flew through the air. I threw a kick at the back of his head and landed nicely.

“W-What? What did I see just now?”

“What are those kicks...?”

“Isn’t it a bird? Bird. Bi~rd.”

“Both mean bird, you idiots." [1]

I could hear the words of the vigilantes talking from behind.

I looked back at them and spoke calmly, “Everyone, bring it on. Let’s have a fierce fight.”

* * *

The shantytown located in the south of Metheus was one place that users had to stop by before they went hunting.

Compared to other places, people were able to get useful buffs for free here. There was also a beautiful user who gave free healing so people lined up for it.

“People are constantly coming even at night.”

Kim Sujeong rubbed her shoulders as she looked at the sign called Paradise. Then she sighed with relief when she saw that the long line was almost finished.

“Sigh. Be strong. Strong.”

The first time she opened it, there were no people and she could only catch flies. Now, there were so many people it was like a must-visit restaurant. Kim Sujeong thought it was too much so she thought she should only accept really urgent patients from tomorrow. It was because there were patients like this:

“Let’s take a photo together...”

“No, please leave~”

Kim Sujeong shook her head like she was annoyed and went to the next patient. Fortunately, the next patient was an NPC who came with a real problem. She started to treat the injury with Divine Firefly Acupuncture. Kim Sujeong’s hands moved quickly.

“Stay still or it will sting. Sting~”

[The patient’s pain has been relieved.]

[Divine power is being infused.]

Camille moved the fireflies and injected divine power like she was used to it. Once the patient in front of her was healed, Kim Sujeong moved onto the next person. Their limbs were fine, so they might be here to get a buff. Was this the last person? She didn’t seem to be an elementary school student, but the female player who was as short as a dwarf looked up at Kim Sujeong and spoke cutely, “Buff me.”

She was so cute that Kim Sujeong couldn’t help making a cute sound.

“Yep~" [2]

[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ hates the way you are talking.]

“Cough cough. Yes. What type of buff would you like?”

“A buff to raise knowledge.”

“Yes. Stay still~”

[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is nodding with satisfaction.]

Kim Sujeong calmly used Divine Firefly Acupuncture to buff the girl in front of her. The buff that increased knowledge required the needle to be inserted in their head. She needed to be careful because that area was dangerous.

The short girl responded cutely when the stats went up, “Thank you.”

Then she hurriedly ran toward the hunting ground. She was definitely a magician based on the staff she was holding. She was so cute. How did she walk? Like this? Kim Sujeong looked around and confirmed there was no one waiting in line. Then she stretched out her hands in a dainty way, straightened her waist, and put her hands on her waist. She moved and ran in the same cute-like manner as the earlier female user.

[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is frowning.]

“Ah, really. Camille. Don’t you want me to be cute?” Kim Sujeong stared up at the sky and asked with disgust.

She received an answer straight away.

[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ says that women have to be careful.]

“Geez, these are some Joseon Dynasty era ideologies. This isn’t the Joseon Dynasty and I can walk around this way. I am born in a place where women’s freedom is guaranteed~”

Kim Sujeong walked around Paradise like a free soul. Camille sent a message wondering about the Joseon Dynasty, but she just ignored Camille. Kim Sujeong’s happiest time was how rewarding and liberated she felt after treating the patients. Now she was almost indifferent to the sight of blood. Her blood phobia was almost cured. There was just one problem. The time spent here was so good.

‘Should I go back to reality?’

In this way, she weighed between reality and virtual reality for 10 minutes while running around like a cute little girl through the small garden in Paradise.

“What are you doing?”

“Kyaaaaak!” Kim Sujeong screamed as a man appeared like the wind. She narrowed her eyes and confirmed the man’s identity.

“You scared me, Kerenos!”

Kim Sujeong struck Kerenos’ arm with an angry expression. Kerenos made a pained sound and rubbed his arm.

“Ah, I’m sorry. There are people who urgently need to be treated. By the way, what was that previous posture? It was pretty cute.”

She put her hands over her red face and screamed, “I-It was nothing!”

“Hmm. Really? Then look over there.”

Kerenos picked at his ear while pointing to one place. There, bruised faces of familiar people were seen approaching. Kim Sujeong wondered, “What? What happened to the vigilante brothers?”

Kerenos shrugged. “They were beaten up.”

“By who?”

“The old man.”
