Wait…
[(CH03) Miu: Momo-nim, you know that, right?]
[(CH03) Miu: That BBQ is a guy?]
He felt like there had been a similar situation a few days ago.
The timing had been random, but since it was true, he had just let it slide back then. Now, however, he was completely bewildered.
‘Wasn’t YouGonnaSue a woman?’
The voice he heard during the last Siege Warfare was unmistakably a woman’s. But regardless of that, what did that have to do with him helping YouGonnaSue?
(CH03) 0momo0: Does that matter?
(CH03) Miu: Lol??
(CH03) Miu: You’re saying it’s okay even if he’s a guy right now??
(CH03) 0momo0: What’s “okay”?
(CH03) Miu: You said it’s okay even if YouGonnaSue is a guy.
(CH03) 0momo0: No, that’s…
He had no idea what context this was coming from, but Mo Yeon-hu decided to correct the factual error first.
(CH03) 0momo0: I thought Goso-nim was a woman, not a man?
(CH03) Miu: ?
(CH03) Miu: How do you know that, Momo-nim?
(CH03) 0momo0: Because I heard Goso-nim’s voice last time…
(CH03) Miu: ?
(CH03) Miu: You heard their voice??
(CH03) Miu: Why?
(CH03) Miu: Why did you hear it?
(CH03) Miu: How did that happen??
With the chat messages flying in like rapid-fire, Mo Yeon-hu started to wonder if he had done something wrong.
(CH03) Miu: And “Goso”??? Why are you calling them without their surname??
(CH03) 0momo0: Huh?
(CH03) 0momo0: Is Goso-nim’s surname “You”?; (CH03) Miu: You’re asking me that right now?
(CH03) Miu: How should I know? Lol
(CH03) Miu: Do you want to know YouGonnaSue that badly??
While he was too flustered to say anything, Miu started saying random things.
(CH03) Miu: This is driving me crazy lol. When did you two get so close?
(CH03) Miu: No wonder they greeted you so familiarly.
(CH03) 0momo0: Who? Me and Goso-nim??
(CH03) Miu: Use the surname.
He didn’t even know the surname…
(CH03) 0momo0: Anyway, you’re saying I look close with YouGonnaSue?; (CH03) Miu: Yes.
‘Why is Miu acting like this?’
He didn’t understand a single word they were saying. However, he got the feeling that they were somehow a bit angry.
(CH03) 0momo0: I really have no idea what you’re talking about.
(CH03) 0momo0: Did I do something wrong by any chance?.. T_T
(CH03) 0momo0: If I did, could you please tell meㅠㅠㅠ
Scared of Miu’s snapping tone, Mo Yeon-hu finally decided to ask honestly. At that, Miu paused for a moment and then returned to “kind mode.”
(CH03) Miu: Ah;;
(CH03) Miu: No.
(CH03) Miu: It’s nothing.
Despite the hurried chat messages, Mo Yeon-hu remained crestfallen.
(CH03) 0momo0: Is it because YouGonnaSue is suspected of being a spy? T_T
(CH03) 0momo0: Was I too oblivious?? I’m sorryㅠㅠㅠ..
(CH03) Miu: No, it’s not that.
(CH03) 0momo0: If I did something wrong, could you just tell me honestly…
(CH03) Miu: It’s not that.
(CH03) Miu: Hyung.
(CH03) Miu: Mnnnn no.
(CH03) Miu: Momo-nim.
Miu must have been incredibly flustered to call him “Hyung” instead of “Oppa”…
(CH03) Miu: Ah, I’m sorry.
But regardless, Miu apologized.
(CH03) Miu: I think I’m sleepy.
(CH03) Miu: I’ll go wash my face and come back.
(CH03) Miu: Sorry.
Miu, who had been pouring out apologies to the discouraged Mo Yeon-hu, disappeared, presumably to wash their face.
Looking at the now-quiet chat window, Mo Yeon-hu let out a deep sigh.
‘Is YouGonnaSue on the spy list?’
Miu had briefly mentioned the suspicious people, but hadn’t explained in detail. It was because they didn’t want Mo Yeon-hu to develop unnecessary prejudices.
(Alliance) YouGonnaSue: Kyaaa, is anyone here~~?
(Alliance) YouGonnaSue: Momo-nim~ Miu-nim~!!
(Alliance) YouGonnaSue: Are you guys AFK??
(Alliance) YouGonnaSue: T_T I have no one to help me….. T_T
(Alliance) 1BiGwi1: Goso, what kind of help do you need?
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: YouGonnaSue-nim, what kind of help do you need??
While he was standing there bewildered, the conversation in the Alliance chat was moving quickly.
(Alliance) YouGonnaSue: Ah, I was doing a sub-quest and it suddenly told me to go to the closed ward hyaㅠㅠㅠ
(Alliance) YouGonnaSue: I’m looking for someone to go with.. hehe (Alliance) BBQ: Eh? Closed ward?? What’s that??
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: Ah!! Goso-nim is doing “Collector’s Illusion” right now;; T_T That one is kind of a pain.
‘Collector’s Illusion?’
Although Miu’s attitude left a bad taste in his mouth, he was curious about a quest he had never heard of. Mo Yeon-hu typed “Collector’s Illusion” into the in-game quest search bar.
Sub Quest: A Collector’s Final Illusion
Arister Valentine, the director of the now-closed ‘memoria closed ward’, was a collector in various fields. If you give the final collectible he left behind in the ward to ‘Anna’, you might receive something he cherished…
Conditions:
Enter ‘memoria closed ward’ Lv.150 (0/1)
Retrieve ‘Rusty Music Box’ (0/1)
‘Oh, there’s a dungeon like this.’
A level 150 closed ward dungeon. The name alone sounded eerie and didn’t seem to fit his vibe, but it was still interesting.
Quest Reward:
Experience: 125,000
Housing Furniture – ‘Vintage Vacuum Tube Gramophone’ (Includes BGM playback function) ‘A gramophone? How cool!’
Especially the reward. The gramophone looked quite antique and pretty.
‘But isn’t there already a device that can play BGM?’
Of course, it wasn’t particularly useful. There was already a function to play BGM in the Alliance Territory. Though the design alone was incredibly romantic…
(Alliance) YouGonnaSue: I’ve really done everything under the sun to get that gramophone, damn it. Now I just need to retrieve the chart and it’s over, but no one wants to go to that dungeon, ugh.,, T_T
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: The rewards aren’t great and the dungeon is designed to be annoying, so no one goes.. People would rather go to a 140 dungeon or jump quickly to 160 to go hunt birds.
(Alliance) 1BiGwi1: Lol man, of all things, it’s a closed dungeon with absolutely trash rewards.
(Alliance) BBQ: Ooh, it’s gonna be freaking hard to find a Public Party lololol (Alliance) YouGonnaSue: Someone please help!! T_T
It seemed to be a dungeon that people rarely visited.
(Alliance) 1BiGwi1: Ah, I want to help but I have a raid soon;.. sry sry (Alliance) MouseTrap: Sorry.. I have to go to a dungeon with BiGwi-nim too T_T
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: I’m following them as well..
(Alliance) YouGonnaSue: Hya T_T
Even the Alliance Members were exceptionally busy with prior engagements.
(Alliance) BBQ: Goso-nim, how long have you been waiting? lol (Alliance) YouGonnaSue: About 2 hours hehe??
(Alliance) FUNK: Damn
(Alliance) YouGonnaSue: Kya…. hehe
(Alliance) YouGonnaSue: T_T it’s okay.. I’ll just wait a bit longer.
Mo Yeon-hu’s heart ached at the crestfallen remark that suggested they had no choice.
‘Oh no. It’s so sad when you have no one to go on a raid with…’
Mo Yeon-hu knew that feeling all too well.
In fact, while he had been running raids diligently under the guise of Miu’s special training, most of it had been in solo practice mode.
He was worried he might cause trouble if he joined an official party, and above all, in Try parties…
‘They wouldn’t let me in.’
It was because they shunned necromancers. More than a few times, he had been kicked out immediately with a message like, “Ah, a necro? Sorry, no.”
Recalling those depressing entrance cuts, Mo Yeon-hu cautiously typed a message to YouGonnaSue, who was still shedding tears.
(Alliance) 0momo0: YouGonnaSue-nim, would a Try be okay with you by any chance?
