Chapter 288: Didn't Use The Skill?

'It should be done in a week,' Haru folded his arms while looking at everyone in his group.

Sang-ah calmed down Hee-won getting her off Nam-woon and they were placing the lunchboxes in bags with Queresha arranging them orderly. Hyun-sung was taking note of the stock left to get an estimate of how long it would last and if they should consider finding another shop.

Gil-young was sitting on the floor with the cockroach in his hand giving him the information it had obtained from outside the store. Gil-young looked at Haru and shook his head, meaning there were no monsters in the vicinity outside the store.

And Nam-woon...

"Give me the dark element," He was asking his sponsor to give him a new skill.

[The Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' is saying 'No'.]

"Ah C'mon, Almighty Super Stylish Black Flame Dragon God, This is your chance to show that you are the true ruler of darkness," Nam-woon said full of passion.

[The Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' is saying he will think about it.]

[100 coins have been sponsored.]

"Sweet," Nam-woon punched the air.

[The Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is in disbelief.]

[The Constellation 'Demonic judge of Fire' is left speechless.]

[The members of the Nebulae 'Black Cloud' are silent.]

[400 coins have been sponsored.] The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

The constellations were as loud as ever while watching over what was happening.

"So are we done here?" Haru asked since the bags were packed neatly and they still had enough food to go for a few more days if you included the biscuits and instant noodles.

"All done with the food," Hee-won looked at the four bags which were packed to the brim. They didn't pack more since battles would be harder on their way back if they have too much to carry.

The group walked out of the basement along with the bags before placing them in front of the counter.

"Why are we stopping here?" Nam-woon asked since there was no one here to do checkout.

"Don't you need some clothes?" Haru said while looking at Nam-woon who had a lot of blood on his clothes. This guy fought with little care about the blood, which led to him having a lot of blood splatters on him.

"Yes these feel sticky and they stink," Nam-woon agreed.

"A clothing shop is right across the road there is also an electronic shop on the second floor, we'll need flashlights and batteries as well," Haru said and Hyun-sung nodded because the lights aside from the platform's lights the others were switched off to save the remaining power they had.

"Cheapskate," Hee-won grumbled unhappily she just wanted to try out a real katana since she had learned kendo when she was a kid.

"Maybe I'll give it to you sometime later," Haru said with a smile.

"I don't trust you," Hee-won looked at Haru with narrowed eyes thinking he was just pulling her leg.

"Come on how can you not trust someone as good as me," Haru looked quite hurt and Hee-won just ignored it.

Even while joking around the two looked around the exit to make sure no monsters have followed them back and climbed down the stairs that led to the shutters.

"I am tired as hell, I want to take a shower so badly," Hee-won's shoulders sagged as she knew it wasn't possible right now.

"Hey Ahjussi, you didn't use your skill even once right?" Nam-woon asked as they reached the closed shutters.

"Didn't use it, why?" Haru asked looking back at him, the others also didn't understand why he would ask such a thing.

"Last night your eyes were bleeding a lot, even the handkerchief you used had a lot of blood on it, How many times did you use your skill last night?" Nam-woon's words caused the eyes of the others to widen. They haven't seen Haru use his skill once and they made a full round from the convenience store.

But according to Nam-woon last night Haru's eyes were bleeding which was a side effect of him using his skill. So if his eyes were bleeding badly, then he must've used it a lot of times last night.

"There weren't as many monsters as last night right now and that mantis also didn't show up because I sent him to the next district when it was chasing me last night, I had to use the skill quite a few times to make sure it didn't stick around the exit, because then it would be harder to get food for us, Plus I also couldn't wipe my eyes with bags in my hand you know," Haru said but the others weren't able to respond back.

"Sigh* I guess we need to step up our game then," Hee-won said while shaking her head, no matter how they brood over it.

"Also we can conclude that monsters don't attack in larger numbers during the daytime," Hyun-sung said what has been on his mind for a while.

"I hope that is true," Haru said as he turned around ready to open the shutters.

".....What do you mean?" Hee-won asked.

"You remember what I said about the bodies, right?" Haru said without looking back.

"Yes, You did say there...were...far lesser..." Hee-won's voice got smaller and smaller as she stopped talking. It didn't take a wise man to figure out what Haru was pointing at.

Maybe most of the monsters have had their fill and aren't coming out or it could be what Hyun-sung said, their theory about monsters not attacking en masse during the daytime might be true. But they could only be certain about it tomorrow.

Suddenly it didn't feel good to be able to make it back safely.

"Alright let's go in, we shouldn't stay outside for longer," Haru said as he opened the shutter and everyone entered it as they closed it down again.

The lights were off and they used their flashlights to make their way over to the locker where they found a group of people standing next to the locker they left their items in. Hee-won gripped her crowbar tightly ready to attack while the others also got alert.

The people turned their flashlights to Haru's group.
