ve achieved ‘Tremendous noise’ which triggers ‘Owl’s Insomnia.’ Boss monster ‘Owl’ is soon arriving…

     If Seo Dawon borrowed my body through [Possession] to finish off the goose yesterday, then today Kim Sangyoon finished the monster by slashing it from behind.

     To be honest, Kim Sangyoon was so cool at that moment that I could ignore the goose’s blood that splattered all over his weapon and body.

     But, after finishing in such a cool manner, as soon as our eyes met Kim Sangyoon’s expressionless face turned timid.

     He rushed to my side and began to offer pitiful excuses, “I-I couldn’t finish this in forty minutes…’

     That he was in a bad condition after staying awake all night…That the goose had awoken five minutes earlier than he had predicted…Later, he began to speak faster and faster until all his words blended into an unintelligible mess.
Bewildered, I looked at Seo Dawon who simply shrugged back at me.

     What a spiteful gesture–it indicated that he had no desire to explain anything.

     Instead, I grabbed Kim Sangyoon’s arm and said, “That’s enough.
You did well.
Since the boss is here…Let’s get out.” I expelled him from the party.

The party has been dissolved…Do you want to use the ’emergency escape kit’?

           ╚═════ ∘◦ ❈ ◦∘ ══════╝

 

     Again, I used an escape kit to leave the Dungeon.

     As soon as I stepped outside, I couldn’t see Kim Sangyoon, who had left the Dungeon first.

     What’s this? He appeared right next to me yesterday…It takes less than a minute to follow after him.
Did he leave first?

     Confused, I looked around for him.
Seo Dawon said, “There he is,” pointing out Kim Sangyoon sitting in an alley a little ways away from the Dungeon.

     What’s this? Why is he like this? Is he injured somewhere?

     I ran towards Kim Sangyoon, searching for wounds, but as soon as I approached him, he jumped up, covered his face, and shook his hands in front of him.
“P-please don’t come near!”

     “…What’s wrong?”

     However, he didn’t answer; I noticed that his uncovered ears flushed bright red.
Was this the fault of the ‘vow of submission’ again?

     Honestly, this was really annoying…Why are the conditions so trigger-happy? Shouldn’t the contract only deliver the ‘reward’ when I wish it? In the future, will we continue to have scuffles due to this imprecise vow?

     As I angrily contemplated, Kim Sangyoon slowly lowered his hands.

     To my surprise, his face was a little wet, as if he had been crying.
For a man of his stature and striking appearance to be brought low like this…I stared, fascinated, at how small he seemed.

     Kim Sangyoon seemed to have noticed that I was underestimating him.

     Suddenly, he frowned and pushed me against the wall, locking me in between his arms.
His muscles threatened me–dared me to see him as an easy opponent.

     If it were just a few days ago, I would have been fairly scared at his efforts to intimidate me…

     But, Kim Sangyoon couldn’t even look me in the eye as he pushed me against the wall.
Regardless of his size, his fragile expression made him feel weak.

     “What are you doing?” So, even as I was trapped in Kim Sangyoon’s arms, I calmly spoke without trembling or wavering.

     Kim Sangyoon also seemed to instinctively know that he started on the wrong step.
Eventually, he slowly removed his huge cauldron-like hands from my face and tearfully said, “S-stop it.
Damn it…..I’m not a pervert….”

     His curse didn’t have a bite.
When I heard the word, ‘pervert’ or whatever, I casually looked at his leg in shock.

     This–!! He’s crazy!

     I suddenly also felt shy and raised my gaze high in the air.
“Ahem….” I cleared my throat.

     Wait a minute, so whenever I tried to extend a friendly gesture or told him how well he did…he got…stiff….like this?

     Damn it, what kind of ‘reward’ is this?

     I now understood why Kim Sangyoon convulsed whenever I touched him…..Are you insane, Seo Dawon?

     “Excuse me…This wasn’t what I had intended.” I comforted Kim Sangyoon while glaring at Seo Dawon.

     However, Seo Dawon also denied my suspicions.
“Hey, this isn’t what I intended either!”

     “The ‘reward’ induces powerful feelings of happiness or pleasure…it shouldn’t cause erections.”

     “…….”

 

 

TL: Thanks for reading~ (No upload tomorrow, probably, but I’ll be back afterwards!) I’m as horrified as MC tbh.
When I was translating I was like… “Oh no.
is this ‘stiff,’ what I think it is…..???”

Footnotes

The original said that he’s now ‘one serving’ as in serving size in food.
Aka, he’s ‘enough’ for one person, skill-wise.
I just found the English equivalent for the saying.
