I headed south of Diya to hunt the ice jaguars .  It has been an hour since we came here .

“Lightning Dragon Power!”

There was lightning that brought fear .  The roar of the ice jaguar tore at my ears as Gyeonso Dragon preemptively attacked .  We worked tirelessly not to miss the fast-moving one .

"Where are you going?”

Through the power I received from Raitra, I followed the lightning while using Flying Weather Dance .  I carried out the footsteps of Rising Sun and quickly kicked at the legs of the ice jaguar .  The blue lightning paralyzed the ice jaguar and pierced its defenses .  The sun entered through here and acc.u.mulated small but steady damage .  I couldn't help admiring the defense of the ice jaguar .  “As expected, those over level 200 are strong . ”

The level of the ice jaguar was above level 200 .  In fact, it was very fast but fortunately, Gyeonso Dragon and I had the lightning footwork .  I thought that I would've greatly regretted it if I hadn't brought him along .  d.a.m.n, I needed to get the Thunderstorm Flying Kick Technique quickly . I couldn't borrow this guy's strength every time .

Then the claws of the ice jaguar rushed at me .  I couldn't respond because it was an attack from a blind spot .

“Kuock!”

Even with the super sensitivity stat, the difference in our stats was unavoidable .  I didn't have time to use the apostle skill, Keen Insight .  However, I had her . . .

“Firefly Concerto!”

A type of light started to dominate the surrounding s.p.a.ce .  The s.h.i.+eld was overlaid over me and protected me from the ice jaguar .  Fortunately, I didn't suffer any major damage and my health was restored .  I gave a thumbs up to Kim Sujeong .  “Naisu taming . ”

I didn't know if I said it correctly .  Drain had taught me how to say this .  I looked back at him and saw Drain nodding as he attached an icicle to the material . It seemed I said the right thing .

. . . I had improved my English again .

“Leave the rear to me and attack . Wrap it up!”

Her words had become quite reliable and I couldn't help smiling .  Somehow, it seemed like she was now enjoying it .  I jumped back and threw a lightning kick .  A short time later, the ice jaguar collapsed .

[Experience has been acquired . ]

[Your level has risen . ]

[The Ice Jaguar's Leather has been acquired . ]

[The Ice Jaguar's Meat has been acquired . ]

[You have met the requirements of the Fight the Ice Jaguars quest . ]

“We've already filled it up . ”

“Huh? Already? Too fast . ”

“I know . ”

Our group was grumbling that it was too easy . Well, except for Drain in the distance .

“Oh, is it already over? Can you give me all the leather?”

We naturally handed over the leather to him .  Drain burned with pa.s.sion for fas.h.i.+on and was happy to touch new materials . We were happy to provide it to him in exchange for warm clothes .  In fact, we wanted to give him some money but he insisted he wouldn't take it .  It was real craftsmans.h.i.+p .  He was a little brother but he was a respectable guy .  There was always something to learn from subordinates .  Learning was to take what you learn and make it yours .

I said to the group, “Let's go back . ”

“Yes . ”

“Sigh, Raitra is going to be noisy again . ”

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' hates a silly fight . ]

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' wants a more intense fight . ]

In any case, he was a fighting fanatic .  He came from a clan that revered battle and talked about fighting every day .  Speaking of this, this guy Gyeonso Dragon . He said he hadn't spoken to Raitra yet? “You still haven't met with Raitra?”

“That's right . I tried mediating the way you taught me but . . . ”

“Hrmm . ”

I touched my beard and asked the sky, “Raitra, why?"

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' says he can't tell you now . ]

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' says this person needs to realize it on his own . ]

He was a tricky guy .  I had learned it from Prometheus' memories but talking with constellations was very important for the Star's Beloved .  Dialogue was necessary for strengthening the power obtained from the constellation .  Of course, it wasn't easy to do so and every constellation had their own conditions .  It was possible that I had succeeded in conversing with Prometheus because I met his conditions .  However, this didn't mean there was no way .

“Prometheus . ”

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is asking why you are calling . ]

“I'll give you something delicious if you make Raitra open his mouth . ” 

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is smiling . ]

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is laughing wickedly at 'Raitra . ']

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' is. .h.i.t in the back of the head by 'Prometheus . ']

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' has failed to fight back . ]

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' is. .h.i.t on the forehead . ]

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' . . . ]

Kim Sujeong watched the messages with a blank expression and burst out laughing .  Now she could see the messages of the constellations .  I felt fortunate that she wasn't being isolated .

[The firefly star, 'Camille,' is looking at the two people with pathetic eyes . ]

After a brief pause, Raitra finally opened his mouth .  However, we were shocked when we learned the truth .  Kim Sujeong wondered in a surprised voice, “He has to go to the threshold of death to have a conversation? Isn't that extreme? Why is this the condition for a conversation?”

She expressed my exact thoughts .  It was a trickier condition than I thought . Additionally . . .

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' is sighing . ]

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' says he can't tell you why . ]

. . . This guy . Perhaps he didn't tell Gyeonso Dragon because he was worried .  If it was told to the single-minded man who only knew training, Gyeonso Dragon would definitely try it .  This guy would definitely do it over and over again, losing his level, and weakening .

“Gyeonso Dragon . ”

“Yes, Brother . ”

“What are you going to do?”

“I don't know . I'd like to give it a try . ”

As Gyeonso Dragon stretched and rotated his wrists, Raitra went into a rage .

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' is strongly discouraging it . ]

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' says an artificial situation is impossible . ]

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' says conversation is only possible after extreme battles . ]

Extreme battles . . .

This was truly a condition suitable for Raitra .  Then it couldn't be helped .  I was going to have to help .  “Don't try it now . I'll find a way later . ”

“ . . . I'll try . ”

This brat should understand what I was saying, right? It was a bit uncomfortable but I decided to stop here .

We continued to walk toward Diya .  A snowstorm flew toward us like white sand but we were fine thanks to Solar .  It was a very handy existence .

Approximately 30 minutes pa.s.sed . . .

Just then, something shone in my eyes .  What was this . . . ?

My vision that was enhanced thanks to Super Sensitivity spotted something .  In the distance, a small object was buried in the snow and twitching .  I leaped forward and decided to check it out because no one else seemed to see it .  Behind me, Kim Sujeong followed with a bewildered expression .  It was the same for Gyeonso Dragon and Drain .

“Father, where are you going all of a sudden?”

“There is something here,” I replied .

“Huh? There is nothing… uh, really? What is that?"

As we got closer, Kim Sujeong seemed to have discovered it .  I ran toward it without stopping .  The group followed and we soon arrived at the twitching object .  The yellow legs buried in the snow were moving backwards .

Kim Sujeong opened her mouth, “Oh, it is cuter than I thought? What is it?”

She lifted the buried legs and a small penguin with a pink torso appeared .  He looked cuter than I thought and I subconsciously smiled .

“Kyak~ It is a little penguin! So cute ♡!”

Everyone smiled the moment she spoke .  The adorable cuteness was like a moving cotton candy .  However, I was inwardly surprised .  An emperor penguin chick? In fact, not all monsters were violent and ferocious .  Just as there were predators and herbivores among animals, there were some gentle and pure creatures among the monsters .

The emperor penguin in front of me was one of them .  The baby penguin landed on the ground and started to act cute toward us .

“Peng peng~♡”

“Kyah, so cute! How are you~♡”

Kim Sujeong melted at the baby penguin's affection and sat down, making eye contact with the penguin .  Even so, we had to be careful .  The emperor penguins had a habit of being helpless when they saw something s.h.i.+ning .  In particular, the most serious time was when it hadn't yet reached adolescence .

“Be careful . . . ”

“Oh my!”

It was only a matter of time before the baby penguin stole the s.h.i.+ny necklace around her neck .  d.a.m.n, I was too late .  It was a tremendous hand technique .  He would probably run away to his mother now .  We wouldn't be able to find this necklace anymore .  If we tried to take it away, he would cry and call for his mother .  Then we would have to fight the nearby mother penguin .  In fact, it was inevitable for us to give up even if we wanted to find it .

Dammit, I was reluctant because it was an endangered species and the emperor penguins were also the only traders of that 'guy' here in the North Pole .  If we killed the emperor penguin in order to take back our things, that 'guy' would chase us until we died .  Maybe he would freeze us to the bone and kill us .  If possible, I didn't want to meet him .  It was because that guy had a dirtier personality than anyone else here .

I sighed and told her, “Sujeong, you'll have to give up on the necklace . . . ”

Huh? All of a sudden, I felt something touching me from below .  Something was hugging me but it didn't feel bad .  It was like a cloud of cotton candy . . .  eh?

“Hey, why aren't you leaving?”

The baby penguin was staring at me with big eyes .  The little pink penguin opened his mouth affectionately, “Mama~♡”

It was the time when my gender changed .
