Chapter 46: Lakeshore (1)
yZP5It seems that the internal energy method really has an effect in relieving fatigue.pMiEd
mo7R4Even if I replace sleep with the method, the next day I’m full of energy.cgdm
6bAyWell, even so, it’s not perfect, so it’s hard to eliminate mental fatigue.v0i
9htty91Physical fatigue is manageable, but mental fatigue can only be resolved by sleeping.ylEjY

qwnQJ“What is all this now?”uNh
fApjqAs soon as I entered the gallery, a large number of trade requests were floating everywhere.CWL64
ITMhI7ODid something happen again while I was away?yuX9Yk
K9bwY6HJust in case, I searched my name, but there was nothing particularly striking.8KFuVkK
WPya9Only that my credibility had increased a lot after what happened yesterday.hxRo1
6FByIt seems that, because of that, registered users who had doubts about trust are now sending requests.rD4UM
HDq‘No, but these people say that knowing I’m as weak as a sunfish.’eW5RQG
QSM5pOr are they trying to squeeze out every last bone before I actually become one?Cyr4
oUqfpFrom what I heard, even an adult mandrake already has enormous value.LffG5O
7IZf8TvIt seems they think that one adult mandrake is enough, without needing an internal core.3xol
8aP5NXB‘Let them bring something that really interests me.’jqV
VcR1I searched the names of the registered users who sent me requests.5QCA
U4B2uDThere were newly created accounts, and others that had been active for a long time.j7H
lNmTV0vEspecially that one, IWillBeaDuke.e5ALb
3VqI remember that last time he also sent me a request.1CZ8Gog
WO3cW80You could say he’s persistent, but right now it was just annoying.S1Qe7t
SUR15x‘And he didn’t even post anything.’0BVuGYw
2vmAs I said before, if they show an object that interests me, I will initiate the trade.6akCTz
HvTBut it seems they’ve already forgotten.iXbXa
PZOWI had no choice but to write it again.YAojql
tL3bETitle) I’ll say it againbKdz
DZPQpxWildGrillsCwwbSi4
dUP6MvI woke up and had a bunch of… idi, I mean, trade requests.HrKHX8
qD5msYAs I said before, I have no intention of trading if they are not objects that are useful to me.AMrFMjT
RfOIIf you want, post the object first along with a post.tyR3
6doEJVI’ll review it and decide.HESRbnn
QHXlYmㄴHeavenlyDemon) You’ve woken up. Do you have any discomfort?C4Rai0
Vp7R56ㄴWildGrills) I sleep while using the internal energy method and I feel much more rested8DKOq
Csh0peKㄴHeavenlyDemon) It’s normal after going through the regulation of energy flow. Even if you lack foundation, when you reach mastery, you will be fine without needing to sleepbobm7z
IrYsㄴWildGrills) WowDNp1r
qj4gㄴStarlightPrincess [1]) You woke up! Is today the fifth day?Nf1pb4
GgJZLㄴWildGrills) Yes. I’d like to get out of here as soon as possibleW1yEUF
NLZTkㄴStarlightPrincess) They say the more in a hurry you are, the more you should go slowly. Today I made another elixir, I’ll send you the request in a bitjayly
X1LAㄴWildGrills) Huh? Didn’t you already give me all the elixirs?sHuNaC
abQwㄴStarlightPrincess) It’s an elixir for animals. Use it with Wonmo and the sloth. As a reward, a photo of Wonmo is enough, so accept it!bzT
PW0dhㄴWildGrills) Thank you. Are you in good health?k8VrDsr
rzPHpzNㄴStarlightPrincess) As I said before, I feel like I’ve been reborn. Although my parents are still worriedUxsliF
Wbk10ㄴWildGrills) Parents are always like that. Just in case, start rehabilitation little by little6OZ1
h3qHrFgㄴStarlightPrincess) Thank you. I’ll keep supporting you always! Stay strong!WWlEq
VpnyHRㄴWildGrills) Thanks haha5Fx
BgZFㄴDwarfPassingBy) Hey. I’ve finished the fishing trap. Hurry up and offer me something to go with the drink79JVi
WpEyㄴWildGrills) Before the side dish, there’s something I want to ask younI7YY3
iYm7f7lㄴDwarfPassingBy) What thing? I won’t do it for free9rRRfZ
qWhㄴWildGrills) I’m not shameless either. I need a sheath, but a really sturdy onelZio1Ve
McZWJskㄴDwarfPassingBy) A sheath? Buy anyidqaO
8kj0cAㄴWildGrills) It’s just that the sword HeavenlyDemon gave me is too good. It cuts wood like tofu4MgJtq
doTmCzㄴDwarfPassingBy) Ah, that happens sometimes haha. I’ll give you a temporary one along with the trap. If you want a good one, you’ll have to give something in return9g2pExC
rJvBZleㄴWildGrills) Thanks thanks. First I’ll do the trade with StarlightPrincess and then I’ll give you yoursKfFh
lJDCx9ㄴDemonPrincess) Hello! The pants I talked about yesterday are ready!z4Fhg
z3CㄴWildGrills) Thank you very much. When does Chayu fight?iQWFis
FQJrㄴDemonPrincess) Soon! Since it’s Boxing Day, she fights about every three daysWVQ
zvhvaDlㄴWildGrills) I hope she wins. Go Chayu!6lpD
nRiㄴDemonPrincess) Thanks haha3KI
koRlDefinitely, it’s better to live as a good person.Bq8tVI
sCG3There are people who respond to you as soon as you wake up.CSHD0
SCJ0Of course, it’s not like I don’t have concerns.Jge
9Mfq1qIf the moderator sees this, he might consider it favoritism.oSGO7
wBVIn the announcement it says that excessive favoritism is prohibited.k03
67dxSIt’s quite an ambiguous line.2znz
ctfD18r‘He must know that HeavenlyDemon is giving me advantages.’6dMe8r
CnJ4EZIt seems he’s letting this slide.lc1oIcJ
zf3xINtOr maybe it’s because of my special situation.F6I
Tm1uhAJ[StarlightPrincess has requested a transaction. Do you wish to accept?]QyMS
1h1okThat’s how the day began, and StarlightPrincess was the first to send a request.pkXA
FjdBefore accepting it, I looked at Wonmo.0Pf
Z2De06He was still sleeping completely sprawled out.CMBn
IQXIl4hThe curious thing is that he was stretched out like a human.nzfM
mcxThey say that if an animal sleeps like that, it’s because it feels safe.57iKswY
cwJajIOIt feels strange.oKbJ
JwW[StarlightPrincess has registered the trade items.]oSf5
0x4H[StarlightPrincess: Here’s the animal elixir and also another gift!]Dua
05H2r[WildGrills: Huh? Another gift?]3q9
Kj5[StarlightPrincess: You’ll like it, Grills. And the photo?]KcCs
xKF5hF[WildGrills: (photo of Wonmo sleeping completely stretched out) Is this enough?]ojJE
7fJoSSs[StarlightPrincess: It’s too cute! How can he sleep like that?]ky7
9bZHZka[WildGrills: I find it incredible too.]Bid7g
6TP[StarlightPrincess: I’ll keep wishing for you to be well! Stay strong!]nc4
aIXThe conversation with StarlightPrincess ended there. I checked the items she gave me.ImSKlsN
OI1She said it was an elixir for animals, but seeing that it shone in a golden color, no matter how you look at it, it’s a normal elixir.2dU7On
e8ELzTo begin with, I don’t even know if something like an elixir for animals exists. Better to consider it a gift.FU2
57Q1LAnd the other one. The object she assured I would like was a bit surprising.Wv4Kg
DyTve‘Cake?’QLaSm
4xGdFA piece of cake placed on a glass plate with an elegant design.LloWZa7
ltT5NxWhipped cream spread over what looked like a soft sponge cake. On top, a small strawberry.hIiW
Mv6shKShe even had the detail of including a fork to make it easy to eat.29s6
VHt6I swallowed and picked up the fork.dP3mCIt
0Mx4E“Crr…”9sSM
qbSc2wAs soon as I put a small piece of cake in my mouth, a sigh escaped on its own.lli5
euIjsCThis sweetness spreading throughout my mouth. The characteristic sweetness of sugar stimulated my tongue.wz1Cyc
nvZfyaUEvery time I ate fish, I added salt, so I hadn’t forgotten the salty taste.ZzGIbYq
J7H8bYBut a sweetness so intense it almost numbs the tongue—I hadn’t felt that in a long time.x36IP
Ehs‘She has good taste.’C4z
67q8wrI set the cake aside for a moment and entered the gallery. There were still users left to trade with.Mk5u
2K6i8The next person after StarlightPrincess was DwarfPassingBy. He seems like the type who just does his thing and that’s it.Dzw
3nVyc0b[DwarfPassingBy has registered items for the trade.]QHkR
Uc7[DwarfPassingBy: I put in the fish trap and a temporary sword sheath. You know how to install the trap, right?]6uWF
4ORY[WildGrills: Yes. I’m going to expand the place where I set the hose a bit.]qzrCVeK
4abQ[DwarfPassingBy: Then it’s fine. Figure out the sheath yourself, and you better give me the snack no matter what. OK?]RmLz
GuxjF[WildGrills: Do you like sashimi?]EuA
VHT2Lx[DwarfPassingBy: My mouth is already watering haha]drWi
0Kx[WildGrills: But I’m not good at cutting it haha]k5UJ
OdBE54T[DwarfPassingBy: You bastard.]u3Dho
5yEB[WildGrills: I’ll try anyway. Thanks for the items.]s87B
sVZ39AAfter the trade, I checked the items I received from the dwarf.ARudG
32cNWA‘Why is this fish trap so big?’x0dvY
ZGfpXThe size of the trap was quite large. Almost the size of my body.I0t0v
68xiIIt surprised me a bit, but it might even be better.lucb0y
A2rPConsidering the size of the fish I’ve caught so far, it’s appropriate.HyAdQh9
qZWBe‘It’s going to take time to install. Better do it after exploring.’kwJvx5
O3Z1I left the installation for later. It feels like it would take all my time just doing that.VNj5AK
bbEktc6Next to check was the sword sheath. The temporary sheath was inside the trap.otvqk
aBU‘At first glance, it looks like a normal sheath.’kXCmK
QxsaclIt was a black sheath. More or less the same size as HeavenlyDemon’s sword.xwub3L
Nrhkpu6I took HeavenlyDemon’s sword that was leaning against the wall and inserted it into the sheath.aOtrp8x
Vep2Shhk— Thak!Ncz
QPLEqyIt went in smoothly, without catching anywhere.hgwGwE
tHW1He said it was temporary, but I’m quite satisfied. It even has a belt, so it has multiple ways of use.V8DY
peAf‘That dwarf has a good personality too, deep down.’m2T9
JvGIOgWI smiled slightly and contacted the next trade target. The next was DemonPrincess.sEqK7e
uD0Krx[WildGrills: Good luck with Chayu! Even if the losing streak lasts long, don’t get discouraged! There’s no one strong forever.]nUie
8H3t[DemonPrincess: Thanks! I’ll give you another special uniform!]qPHc
jaGd2U[WildGrills: Whose is it this time?]QfG0Y
Dcve[DemonPrincess: It’s Sun’s, a legendary midfielder! Interestingly, she’s also from the central continent!]XzBIvZ
pf1tM[WildGrills: Thanks! Can’t Chayu’s matches be watched in the gallery?]8SzrP8
k9Z[DemonPrincess: Broadcast magic has to be purchased, so only highlights will be uploaded!]C2Qjd
336Bn[WildGrills: What a shame. I would’ve liked to watch it.]OUrrvfS
1z3FK[DemonPrincess: I’d like to give it to you too, but since you’re in the Forest of Four Seasons, it can’t be transmitted. But why do you want to watch it?]k97kC
Ycj[WildGrills: I feel like I’m only receiving things. I wanted to show you that I truly support you.]lnGiV5
rHZ[DemonPrincess: Crr…! What an admirable attitude! You have an excellent mindset! I hope you escape soon!]q1K
p5vuRTL[WildGrills: Thanks. If I find something good, I’ll give it to you right away.]GWN83PH
jK4CwnwWhat kind of item would DemonPrincess like? I’ll have to think about it.VYp
6kipZaAnyway, first I need to check what she gave me. Just as she said, they were long pants and the upper part of the uniform.YjU6XNp
QX5The pants were also made of an elastic material, just like the uniform.Jo2g
IzuCR4And not just one, but two.ojhfWDF
ikC5BWhI smiled in satisfaction and put on the pants. The feeling was clearly different.skL
idL4Ux‘I could live just with this.’Oc8BhID
T23fFVIt reminded me of when I lived at home wearing only sportswear.u59D
84vWI threw the pants I had been wearing until now into a corner of the cave. From now on, they’ll be for emergencies.X3v84
c9V7‘I’m done with trades, now the cake… huh?’KA8ZAe3
DrlMy joy at eating the cake didn’t last long.PCFpO
FpO5LI clearly only ate one piece so why is the plate empty?kAM
OVHvhUI blinked, confused, and looked around.MSl
Gv6YWonmo was sleeping peacefully on the blanket.kQiI4Gu
XzOThe only one left was the sloth.iMmsZ
clEd“……”EJhDv
Z4Qkm“…Hey.”0mEgX5k
ebcqNWhen I called him, the sloth tilted his head.JcSlH0
oScyDh0Seeing that shameless attitude, I couldn’t help but get angry.ubgas
DIH“Why don’t you wipe the cream around your mouth?”sQsMw
uR9“……”1FZqVw
ScUBH1eOnly then did the guy feel around his mouth.mYP9m0
fsjs5dHe had whipped cream stuck there—not a little, but quite a lot.7qfGnza
mPORyNThe sloth looked at the cream on his claws and, very slowly, brought it to his mouth.6HfVq
yID“Yum.”kmF6
sVIu“……”kuer3qS
ExQDUv“Mmm…”0Ue
3NHV2NICan someone this irritating even exist in the world?ezwtxp
fscqCUThe most frustrating thing is that there’s no way to beat this guy.GDc
5kBn6pIn the end, there’s only one thing I can do.5fvCq
rk1“Hey, you bastard!!!”efjHxL
3uWgv1PLet out a roar.jub1
acKCPPAIt seems it worked quite well, because the sloth covered his ears.Tkw
RERS“Kkyuak?!”8kXle
SbGDAh, right. Wonmo was there.WbpZ2jC
RbNFXE9When Wonmo woke up startled, I felt really guilty.Q0O
BqOaw‘It’s all this sloth’s fault.’5VgU7AQ
N6V0DoI thought that while carefully calming Wonmo down.xLT
c91PLuckily, Wonmo only had a confused expression, as if he didn’t understand the situation.cVoGFb
9yhr25“Wonmo, shall we eat?”qqNXvFA
3QA“Kkyuu!”3qzi
wlZH5REven if he had understood the situation, everything would’ve been solved by giving him breakfast.bpc
fga7I gave meat to Wonmo and went outside.Lfx6
fmKEThen I opened the hose and water came out strongly. Unfortunately, it seems there are no fish.nT6yH
MeV7‘Better get ready.’xWHVYsc
uTLToday’s breakfast was also solved with fasting pills.jFEp
hqlCbMaybe because I tasted something sweet earlier, today the bitter taste felt even stronger.iMo9O
cDFRCIP‘…Should I ask for another one?’s32uLaT
r99tL3I dropped it. That would be too shameless.FLL1
X1wCIaiThe day has barely begun and I already feel exhausted.Mu0Db
0erlH‘I hope I find a place with abundant food.’6Xl
jnbMThat was my small wish. I sighed and got ready.muf
QiEN2bEEven though the sloth annoys me, he’s the only one who can protect Wonmo.a4KX4HI
2noMmwBetter to think of it as a reward for taking care of the house all this time.5tuV
aBSDThat makes it easier.obipm
hPU“Hey, sloth.”UdBB
PJT03“?”9DXcl
PnOY3KWhen I called him, he tilted his head.Urhm2
EbcDd“I’m going out, so take good care of the house. Got it? At least pay for the cake.”f1eZm
J2id3I“……”pGIe9v
WNFSHe moved his arms as if saying yes.SaxI
6VqSeeing that reaction, I let out a small laugh and finished getting ready.5uUHs
RrBK8SXAt my waist, the sheath with HeavenlyDemon’s sword and a small pouch.RcG
e0TytIn my left hand, the golden shield just in case.7yV
IuWR0mhI left my right hand free so I could maintain balance in any unexpected situation.CvzQYP1
oJGa‘Before leaving, I’ll also use the breathing technique.’qT21aJ7
YALKAfter fully executing the technique, all that remained was to depart.ypbSqj
Gv9l80pWith some tension, I began walking toward the river.lcJwD
6yL7kWhen I get there, I plan to follow the current downstream.3KWz
aQLsaZ‘I hope I find some clue to escape.’MT1
f4Cjjx9I don’t know if the world hears my thoughts or is simply mocking me.OYcsOT
Z1LFIOr maybe the god of this world is doing it on purpose?F4nrwx
IG33pm“Ha… damn.”cj5a
5LwX5VAs I moved along the river, I couldn’t help but curse upon seeing the “environment” in front of me.WRE0
3C6PC6It’s not that the space changes in real time like on the other side of the river.wW6Tp8n
ydBIt’s definitely connected to the river.LFBf7
W5r2GaIt’s just that the environment is a mess.gix
hTlyxl“Is this a sea or a lake?”wQV
kA7IA massive lake stretched out before my eyes.JaCA2
