Chapter 9
9 – Wyvern Hunting
Likeability system.
This system, which is evaluated to have extended the lifespan of the legend route by another 5 years, was as good as the previous version.
There are many characters in the legend route. And depending on which character you accept as a colleague and go on to a romantic relationship, the direction of future play will change. This is because you can solve problems that are directly related to the progress of the game, such as passing down skills through colleagues, attacking dungeons, or hunting bosses.
Legend Route’s characters are not uniform. It just means that you can’t easily raise your liking just by choosing the right option.
Of course, there is a shortcut to presenting a delicious dish, but this is only a story when the level of the cooking skill is raised enough, so it should be left out of the question.
Sarah Leoris.
One of the playable characters, the strategy for this cute heroine, who is never left out when choosing a strong character in the beginning, is push and pull.
It’s not unconditional interest.
It’s not even complete disregard.
At some point in between, flirting with the lure is the best way to win Sarah Leoris’ favor. And now I was implementing such a method.
Trumbling!
Me and Sarah walked through the dungeon side by side. It was a mini wyvern that attacked us from time to time.
Kikik~!
A mini wyvern gliding rapidly with a sharp cry like broken glass.
Sarah turned the monster into a whole roast with just a glance.
Fire!
I see, it’s already an infinite window magic.
Maybe Sara now is stronger than Sara in the original game. Even in the original work, he is famous as the king of the early stages, but I don’t think it was to this extent.
Only 5 monsters Sarah has already defeated.
Every time she killed a wyvern, she sent a snooping glance towards me. If Sarah had a tail, it would sway from side to side like a puppy waiting for her master.
“Come on! Is this the fifth? It’s nothing.”
Sarah let go of her hand while acting like it was nothing.
She is shouting ‘praise me!’ With her whole body.
I caught my breath and calmed down Sarah’s spirit as she reminded me of a puppy falling in love with its owner after work.
It was not easy to ignore Sarah’s craving for her compliments.
I want to be stroked. I want to stroke that fluffy red hair to the fullest and give it a lot of cuteness.
If I were to clap my hands here and say ‘Ah! You are so amazing! If she exclaimed, “Is this the daughter of the Leoris family?”, He would straighten his shoulders and reply, “It’s normal~!”
‘Sarah with a lot of energy’ is one of the best scenes in the original work that I personally choose. Because the original picture was chosen very well, Sarah’s innocence was shown very well.
It’s a scene I personally want to recreate, but I held back the urge in my heart.
Not yet.
Still, you have to be patient.
The more compliments are saved, the more Sarah’s cheeks get fuller.
To think that Sara, who is praised as the continent’s best instrument to rewrite her magical history, could not be recognized by the common people and become a blowfish ball like that.
It is a wasteful sight to see alone.
‘I want to poke….’
An impulse more powerful than the violent strokes of Sara’s head shook my head. Like a squirrel preparing for winter, I want to poke that puffy cheek with my fingers.
Obviously, it must be very soft and smooth.
Like kissing Sierra.
‘Did the ball stabbing event begin with 30 favorability? sh*t…. It’s too hard.’
I walked forward, enduring the temptations of my heart so desperately.
—
Sarah thought too easily of a man named John.
Like other commoners who don’t know the world, he knew how to applaud his wide-eyed eyes after casting a few spells with overwhelming power.
Shhh!
That’s why I shoot arrows of light.
Fire!
Threw a sphere of flame.
Craft!
Spray the spear of lightning.
Shhh!
I fired a water cannon.

By the way, this man doesn’t even show a ‘feeling’ of admiration.
“Come on! Is this the fifth? It’s nothing.”
At this point, an error occurs. Even if the opponent was maintaining a poker face to keep from losing momentum, he wanted to remove that mask with his own magic.
‘Ouch! I, the eldest daughter of the Leoris family, have such childish thoughts….’
I know that it is childish.
She thought that the need for approval did not exist in her emotional pack. Because she has never been truly delighted with the praise of others who praised her.
I think I was happy when I was very young, but at least not now. That’s why I secretly looked down on people who struggled so hard to be recognized by others, such as Arsha Sodhorn.
But she had to admit it. She knew that she had a primordial need to be accepted by others just like them.
Up until now, she hadn’t been aware of her desire because everyone had praised her, and she wasn’t a visionary who transcended selfish desires either.
To think he was struggling in front of Arsha because he wasn’t recognized by just one commoner man.
It was a bluff that made her face red when she thought about it now.
‘Yes. Admit it! Admit! By the way, I’ve come this far, can’t I pretend to be surprised for once?’
I want to see it.
Aren’t you surprised by my magic?
Isn’t it just taking care of your expression for no reason?
However, to ask such a question is to openly say, “I want to be acknowledged!” Of course Sarah’s pride wouldn’t allow it. She thought of a way for Sarah to describe John’s feelings as naturally as possible.
“Hmm! Over there.”
Organizing her thoughts, Sara cleared her throat and opened her mouth.
“Didn’t you say you were aiming for the chief? By the way, if I catch all the mini wyverns like this, you won’t even pass the exam, let alone the top rank. So, why don’t you hunt the next wyvern?”
Everything other people do seems easy. However, when she does it herself, she feels a completely different level of difficulty than when she sees it.
This man must be the same.
This man, Yohan, obviously hunts wyverns as naturally as he breathes, so he takes his magic lightly.
If he realized how difficult it is to hunt wyverns himself, he would see his magic differently.
It was a great idea even if you think about it. He is able to make his own majesty known to John without boasting and displaying his own grandeur. Today, his extraordinary brain was lovely.
“I see. Great. I will hunt the next wyvern.”
As if I had been listening to the conversation between the two, I heard a wyvern just before I finished talking.
Kiki!
This is the same pattern as before. The mini wyvern started descending with a sharp sound. At that John took out the dagger from his waistband.
‘Is it a thief class? It’s not as bad with a wyvern as a warrior, but it’s not as good as a wizard.’
Sarah opened her eyes wide and looked at John.
John did not move hastily. He counted with his mouth as he held the fiercely striking wyvern in his eyes.
“5..4..3..”
‘?’
At Yohan’s sudden countdown, Sarah tilted her head and expressed her doubts.
“2..1..!”
Three mana daggers appeared in John’s hand.
“Knife shot!”
A dagger that flies straight toward the wyvern.
However, from Sarah’s point of view, the trajectory of John’s dagger was slightly distorted from the trajectory of the wyvern’s movement.
It is a self-evident fact that knife shots will miss if things go as they are.
The results of the hunt seemed to end in failure. At least in Sara’s eyes.
But at that moment, an amazing thing happened. The movement path of the Wyvern, which was gliding in a beautiful parabola, changed. The body of the wyvern is plunged close to the ground and perpendicular to it.
Push!
Three mana daggers were inserted into the head of the wyvern that was so suddenly maneuvered.
If the trajectory of the dagger had been in the direction of predicting the gentle curve of the Wyvern, it would have definitely gone wrong. In other words, if it was Sarah who threw the knife, the attack would surely fail.
‘What is it?’
Is it a coincidence? No, could there be such an exquisite coincidence?
If it’s a coincidence, what number did John count before throwing the knife?
‘It’s not a coincidence. Obviously, I measured the timing and threw the skill. What kind of magic did you do?’
All the clues tell us that what John has just accomplished is not at all a result of luck. Sarah was not foolish enough to turn a blind eye to that reality.
“I caught one too.”
John said that while looking at the crashed wyvern.
Hunting mini wyverns.
It’s very easy for Sarah. And it’s never impossible to do for anyone else your age.
Sarah’s surprise wasn’t simply because that man named John was lightly hunting a mini wyvern. Having been told that she was the genius of the century, she has no reason to be surprised at such trifles.
What surprised Sarah was the strange process John showed. He seemed like a person who had seen the future with a little joke. The future is an area that cannot be seen even with the “Eyes of wisdom”.
Sarah asked, eyes wide open.
“How did you do it?”
