Chapter Title: Can't Resist Additional Rewards
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The comment reactions were explosive.
The Tower was always a place full of bullshit twists, so no climber had ever cleared it comfortably. But I'd smashed through the bullshit and massacred them cleanly, so they were living vicariously through me.
Someone who couldn't comprehend it at all said, puzzled.
Moreover, a Hell difficulty climber ascending floors smoothly carried extra significance.
The praise in the comments was making me a bit embarrassed.
They were sucking up this much? I'd only uploaded to show off a little.
And floor 10 was still far off.
Hating my fame, curses started appearing too.
Fans breed antis, after all.
I ignored them.
Besides, what reactions would those antis have if they knew my identity?
Still in the middle of a mission, so I gently closed the gallery screen.
The carriage rattled, and Lady Bell Rabins was hugging me from behind.
Hmm, this doll-like feeling was quite peculiar.
"So cute..."
Lady Bell was fondling my hair, thrilled.
The attendant who'd glanced inside the carriage paled, looking guilty, but no need for that expression.
Lady Bell Rabins was quite the beauty, so no big displeasure in her doting on me.
Still, ironic situation.
The knights and attendants were trembling after seeing my massacre, but the lady hid and didn't witness it, so she saw me as just a fragile girl.
Sir Henry had quietly told her the truth, but she didn't believe it at all.
A valid rebuttal that such a cute kid couldn't have that power.
Isn't this ring's effect too strong?
Honestly, a Charm Ring?
No, that's a bit much.
No matter how genius-beauty I am, it shouldn't transcend human limits.
"Want some snacks?"
"Snacks?"
Crunch-
She popped a cookie piece into my mouth.
Biting the colorful cookie, it was crisply textured and moderately sweet.
But not satisfying.
Blame my palate tuned to max-level cooking skills lately.
Ordinary food doesn't cut it.
Even to my eye, several ways to improve this shabby cookie were obvious.
"Mine would taste better than this."
"Yoojin can cook?"
"Yeah, sort of."
"Show me then! Once in the city, kitchen's yours anytime! If you're good, I might hire you as a cook."
Gulp-
The knight lying in the carriage corner treating wounds swallowed hard.
From his view, Lady Bell Rabins was hugely insulting me.
Or maybe terrifying the idea of me as a cook serving food.
More concerned with gazes from above than others' looks.
Constellation Gallery was chaos.
"..."
Really?
If he gives a B-rank skill, I could overlook his annoying antics.
As long as he doesn't cross the line too hard.
Shaking my head, I reached out.
Time to train.
Not like he promised for real, and plenty of constellations say they'll sponsor in gallery but don't.
No point expecting and getting disappointed.
Better raise Elemental Magic proficiency.
Hobby Magic User thought I quit magic and grieved, but I didn't.
It has the powerful trait Late Bloomer, acknowledged even by magic-mocking constellations. Why not learn it?
...Even so, too weak early on.
Rattle-
The carriage kept shaking, and I quietly closed my eyes, circulating mana.
Relentlessly reviewing the magic tome's contents, imprinting theory basics in my mind.
The speed was still fast.
Opened my eyes at Lv. 5 instantly.
Now from a tiny spark to a small orb flame.
Still lacking, but enough to invest believing in Late Bloomer.
Loves seeing me focus on magic that much? Hobby Magic User rampaging in messages and gallery alike.
Got shut down by Sword Venerable immediately though.
Rolling my eyes curiously, morning sun rose.
"Ah."
No wonder he likes it if I train this hard.
But eyes growing heavy.
Should've slept a bit.
Bad habit losing track of time when focusing.
Fine in lounge with peak condition, but now massive fatigue hit.
...Sleeping in isn't good habit.
Hmm.
Oh well, sleep now.
Roooar...
"Hmm, is the child worse off than thought? Sir Henry?"
"..."
No way.
Sir Henry stared at the girl sleeping eyes closed from last night through morning.
Her long jet-black hair was striking.
The orc massacre scene still burned in his mind.
Impossible for that tiny body, no matter how he looked.
Must've consumed massive stamina matching power used.
Otherwise, no reason to sleep like this.
"...Seems so."
Sir Henry lowered guard briefly.
After such a child helped full-force, fearing her still would be rude.
Identity unknown still.
Amazed a girl like her surpassed regular knight limits.
Not fully grasping skill/realm distinctions, but having witnessed once, Henry instinctively knew this little girl crossed a wall.
The difference was heaven and earth.
She could massacre everyone here casually.
He rose his somewhat recovered body, arduously stepping out to sit by the carriage.
Outside, morning camp prep underway.
Morning camping? Forced march to death from yesterday's ambush.
To escape danger max, rest in safe spot.
Further and horses die, wounded worsen.
Still uneasy unavoidable.
Yesterday's monsters weren't normal.
Disciplined simultaneous attack meant intelligence, but monsters can't have intellect.
His squire cautiously said beside.
"...Maybe a black mage controlling them? Sir Henry."
"Black mage?"
The church's sworn enemies to hunt.
They always did suspicious, filthy, vile acts killing and defiling people.
Reason targeting Rabins Barony, the lady unknown, but if black mage, makes sense.
"Can't be sure. Stay cautious max."
Wrapping ambush talk, they lit fires, grilled food, sated hunger, sat resting easy.
Sir Henry tried relaxing too, but spine-chilling sight tensed him again.
"C'mon, no more sleeping in the carriage, time to move!"
"..."
Henry first regretted his lord in life.
Lady, must you really?
Explained behind too.
Atmosphere like dragging a demon from hell.
Yoojin's eyes swirled with displeasure from forced wake-up.
Of course, not about to rampage here.
Not that personality.
Just yawned hugely.
Mouth wide.
Her petite frame, despite yesterday, lowered some guard.
Tiny girl yawning big was cute too.
Anyway, Lady Bell Rabins who'd dragged Seo Yoojin declared imposingly.
"Oh, and if you treat my found child roughly, I won't forgive you, got it?!"
"..."
"..."
Weird silence inevitable.
No one, not even comparatively high-status strong Sir Henry, should be overly polite before that girl? Lady?
Seo Yoojin smirked at Bell's words, shaking head.
Then gazed high sky.
Seemed blankly sky-gazing.
But her eyes on gallery.
Yoojin startled slightly. A wall of text, several pages worth, poured out.
Galleries groaned at the essay terror.
"Whoa, damn."
Swiped through endless essay feast.
What kind of constellation is 'Long Live the Sun'? Seo Yoojin chuckled wryly.
But black mage攻略 tips very helpful.
Detailed weaknesses obsessively.
Constellation Gallery's benefits overwhelming as floors grow.
Transcendent constellations grasp/inform instantly.
With their omniscience, even Hell high floors no issue.
Not moving at her will, but collective intelligence essentially.
Of transcendent constellations at that.
'Black mage, huh. Catch one for extra rewards?'
3rd floor situation fully grasped by constellations.
Got info, seriously pondered extra rewards like floor 2 boss.
No reason not to.
Constellations pureeing攻略 like baby food.
