[Notification log:
- Congratulations! You are the winner of this fourth payday!
- Reward: Forest Veteran Package]
"So I did it!"
"I got to see the Master with the Organizer waiting"
The Master made a funny face when he saw me.
"What? What are you doing here?"
"You didn't expect to see me right!"
CHAPTER 77
"So the winner of this payday is you... I can only congratulate you."
"Where is my reward?"
"Your whole team has to be there so I can give it to you."
I glared at him.
"You thought I didn't understand your technique? You knew which way to go so you asked your group to wait for you, because you knew that as long as a team member crossed the finish line, he will have won!"
I didn't listen to anything the Master said at length, because one presence bothered me.
Just as I thought I had arrived with a commanding lead, a young woman had just crossed the finish line.
She had red hair, medium height, she looked me in the eyes. I could feel her sense of bitterness.
"Who is this girl?"
"No way! Someone has been here before."
"Is she part of your team?" Master asked me.
"I don't know her."
"Wait! Maybe we can work something out?"
That's when more people arrived.
This time, if I recognized them, it was my group.
"Oh, I forgot about that one..."
"Who are you talking about?" the young woman asked me.
"That guy who helped me find the way."
She took a moment to think and then answered me.
"I can help you, you share your reward and I'll take care of this guy"
I didn't even bother to think about it as I replied that I agreed.
"Yume you're here!"
"Yes Toshiko we made it, we can have our reward"
"And me too?"
"Ah... You"
"Come with me, I have something to offer you!"
"Are you in his group too?"
Toshiko watched them walk away and asked me.
"Who is that girl?"
"I don't know, but she managed to arrive in less than two minutes after me."
"Weren't you facing the prophetess?" Naoki asked me.
"I guess the prophetess disappeared."
The Master spoke up.
"Okay, everyone is here here are your rewards!"
[Notification Log:
- 20,000 as well as a fragment of Aphrodite's myrtle were given to you]
I could see on their faces that they were all satisfied.
That's when this girl reappeared.
"By the way, I wanted to know who you are?" I asked her.
"My name is Nara Hyesook"
A Korean girl...
"What are you doing in the United States?"
"And you, you are Japanese, what are you doing here? Anyway, where is my reward?"
"Ask the Master"
The Master answered right away.
"I've already distributed all the rewards see that with your teammates!"
The bastard!
"So Yume?"
"Well... Since we're a team, I propose that we each give one of our rewards to Hyesook."
Toshiko offered first.
"I received this glove, it allows you to manipulate objects by thought."
"Thank you, that's very interesting!"
Clever of him, Toshiko received this award when the Dawn Dragon had been defeated.
"Me, I got some coins that I've come to give you..."
"It's better than nothing!"
Now it was my turn...
"I have already given you your reward."
"What do you mean by that?"
"If I hadn't accepted you into my team, you wouldn't have been able to have all this!"
"That's true, but your friends took things they just got so..."
I shut him up by giving him coins.
[Notification Journal:
- You just gave 2 coins to civilian "Nara Hyesook" ]
...
"And now what are we going to do Yume?"
"We are free until the next one, enjoy it!"
"Really... So would you please follow me Mr. Yume, I have something to tell you"
I waved to Naoki and Toshiko then left with Hyesook.
I began to wonder what she wanted to tell me so much to take me so far in the forest.
After many minutes of walking, she finally stopped.
"So. What did you want to say?"
"Your colleagues have been very nice to me so I want to be nice to them too..."
"What are you getting at?"
"Sorry... But for their sake, I'm going to have to kill you!"
