“I don’t remember,” he answered after pondering, his response ambiguous.
Was that a casual answer? It didn’t seem like it, considering how long he thought before responding.
“Please let me know if I ever offend you. I can be quite oblivious to these things.”
“No, there hasn’t been any mistake since the first day. Oh, and you already apologized for that first day. I don’t hold grudges.”
“Yes, I remember. I completed the morning greeting quest the day after apologizing. I’m aware of that.”
Recalling that conversation made my face heat up.
Indeed, as he mentioned, the system was quite particular about details.
When I first attempted the morning greeting quest with Chae Dong-hwa Hunter, there might have been some lingering resentment from the incident where he threatened Teddy.
Otherwise, the quest would not have been immediately completed after his apology. It had failed repeatedly because it didn’t meet the ‘warmly’ criteria.
I felt a bit embarrassed, as if my inner thoughts had been exposed.
“I won’t be able to visit the camping site tomorrow.”
“Are you leaving the dungeon?”
There was a slightly awkward atmosphere, but Chae Dong-hwa Hunter seemed unbothered and brought up a different topic.
“No, I’m going on a reconnaissance mission to a faraway place.”
“Oh, I see…”
I felt a tinge of disappointment, as much as I had hoped otherwise.
“Does that mean you won’t come here anymore?”
“Do you wish I wouldn’t?”
Chae Dong-hwa Hunter asked with his typical expressionless face. It almost felt like he was testing me.
“No, you should come.”
The words just slipped out.
“You should come so I can complete quests, receive buffs, earn coins, and also…”
Before I knew it, I was listing reasons why he should return to the camping site.
But those reasons were too self-centered.
‘Am I being too materialistic?’
Truthfully, that wasn’t my sincere feeling. I just wanted him to come back, so I blurted out whatever came to mind.
Teddy was a source of reliance, but he was a monster. Especially since I heard that hunters don’t often pass by this place, I feared I might not meet another person again.
“I’ll gather fresh vegetables, prepare good items, and even got a 3-second sleeping bag today. It’s an amazing item that lets you fall asleep in just three seconds. Oh, and I’ll level up soon to provide you with more buffs. Honestly, you like Spring Camping Site, don’t you?”
I blabbered uncontrollably, eventually ending my ramble almost as if I was forcing him.
He remained almost expressionless, not responding.
Did I say something wrong?
“I mean… be careful… since you are my only customer… so…”
Suddenly, he let out a slight chuckle.
I was taken aback by his unexpected reaction.
“Yes, I will definitely come back. I like it here too.”
He likes it? What does he like…?
“When I come back, I’ll bring a gift. I’m heading in the direction of 1 o’clock. Is there any item you’d like?”
“No, I don’t know much about the dungeon…”
“Then, may I choose the gift on my own?”
“Yes, yes. I’ll happily accept anything you give.”
Was it the camping site he liked? Or perhaps the quests? Or maybe the buffs? Or the meat I cooked?
Or something else…
It was definitely about the camping site, but for some reason, I kept questioning it inwardly.
The expression he wore while saying he liked it seemed too warm to be just about the camping site.
“Alright. I’ll do that.”
This time, he smiled more distinctly.
“It feels strange to have a place to return to.”
His face, already sculpted, looked even more impressive as the corners of his mouth lifted.
‘Is smiling part of a quest?’
I tried to ignore it, turning my head as if I hadn’t seen.
My face felt hot from being near the fire for so long.
“Then, I’ll see you next time.”
“Yes. Take care on your way.”
Chae Dong-hwa Hunter left the camping site. The thought of someone who visited daily not coming for a while felt odd.
“Ah, I meant to give him a sandwich.”
I suddenly remembered the sandwich I made with the ‘Cooking’ skill in the morning, but Chae Dong-hwa Hunter had already left.
“He’s so fast…”
Yesterday was fun with Chae Dong-hwa Hunter around, enjoying the meat and the company. I wanted to thank him by giving him the sandwich I’d prepared.
‘I’ll give it to him next time. He said he would come back.’
I put the sandwich back in the inventory, pushing aside my disappointment.
“What shall we do today, Owner?”
“Well, we’ve harvested a lot, so we have enough to eat.”
We’d been working hard recently, so we had plenty of wood and weeds for cloth. Since there wouldn’t be any guests for a while, there was no need to stock up on food.
“Shall we take a break today? Even we deserve a day off.”
“Yay! That sounds great!”
[5600C]Thanks to Chae Dong-hwa Hunter’s daily tent rentals and the crops I sold, I had accumulated a significant amount of coins.
So, today was for shopping. First, I considered tents, which I hadn’t dared to craft due to their cost.
[CraftingMedium Tent Wood×50, Cloth×50, Stone×50, 500C
Large Tent Wood×100, Cloth×100, Stone×100, 1,000C]
‘Medium Tent for 500 coins…’
It seemed so expensive at first, but now it felt almost cute. Had I finally joined the ranks of hunters?
Hunters have a different concept of economy than ordinary people, and I was beginning to understand that.
[‘Yubom(F)’ has crafted a ‘Medium Tent’.]I crafted just one, considering other purchases. Next, I browsed the camping market.

The camping market had a variety of items.
Among them, the ice cream and slushie machines with detailed flavor descriptions caught my eye the most.
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”
※※※
When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
