“Looks like the owner is really into camping!”

“Yes… I have to work hard to live. If this isn’t for a quest, it’s too much of a gift. I’ll just accept the thought.”

“No, wait! I did receive a quest to give the owner fish!”

“Is that so?”

The owner accepted the fish again.

After that day, Seokhyun changed his plan.

The owner felt overwhelmed by excessive gifts. He decided to naturally blend in by engaging in her favorite activity, camping.

He started by helping chop wood early in the morning.

“Eat this before you start, hunter!”

If he continued to help with the garden, the owner would make snacks, even if she insisted it was for a quest.

“Thank you. I’ll eat well.”

But camping life turned out to be too good. The rice balls the owner made were delicious enough to erase all fatigue from labor.

Fishing with a rod, sitting around the campfire for dinner, and the special ramen Teddy made were all enjoyable.

But Seokhyun’s favorite was the hammock strung between the trees. It felt like sinking into a soft cloud.

It was indescribably good. Happiness.

He wanted to live here, amidst nature, not in the noisy, bustling city, but in the dungeon!

If this wasn’t healing, what was?

Watching DolDol tending the garden with the owner, and the slime creatures playing around, even the dungeon monsters felt less like targets to be eliminated and more like a community to live with.

Seokhyun is free! Free from the capricious guild leader and members, embarking on a new life!

“Hey. What are you doing?”

“Uh, Teddy. Is dinner ready?”

“You really lost it, huh? Hey!”

“Aaah!”

Startled by the sudden noise, Seokhyun fell from the hammock.

Teddy usually woke him for snacks when the sun set, so he assumed it was him. But instead, it was a stark naked man.

It was Mongyeon.

“What? Why did you wake me?”

“Lucky you. What are you doing here?”

“What do you mean? I’m building up goodwill for the scouting.”

“Goodwill? For whom?”

“Who else but the owner?”

“Don’t overstep. Get lost now!”

Mongyeon glared threateningly. He clearly misunderstood Seokhyun’s intentions.

“She’s an amazing buffer. Seems a bit too influenced by her concept, but if she joins the guild, it’ll be good for you too, right?”

“Scouting…?”

Mongyeon seemed to genuinely not have considered scouting, now pondering it for the first time. Seokhyun climbed back into the hammock, pitying him.

“She won’t join, I bet.”

“Leave that to me. You haven’t even tried talking to her about it.”

This time, Mongyeon didn’t protest. He seemed to secretly hope the owner would join the guild.

“But that’s not just a concept. Bomi’s class name is Campsite Owner.”

“What?”

“Her grade is F. I overheard her talking to herself.”

Seokhyun was shocked. A class named ‘Campsite Owner’ was unheard of.

“But how do you explain those incredible buffs? That’s not F-grade.”

“Seems luck plays a big part. The campsite area buff even depends on the weather. I don’t know much else.”

Seokhyun remembered seeing the owner’s name and grade next to ‘owner’ when he first saw the shelter description. It was F.

He assumed a buffer creating quests and giving buffs could pull off such tricks…

“Never mind. The ability matters, not the grade. But are you sure you should be wandering around naked? And why do you keep transforming into animals?”
“I came to see if the owner was sleeping in the tent. Teddy’s asleep too. I transform because I have no clothes.”

“Just ask me for some. I have spares. I’ll give them to you now.”

“No, it’s okay. Now what…”

Mongyeon’s face reddened again. Seeing his naked friend blush made Seokhyun feel like his eyes were rotting.

“Are you embarrassed?”

“No! I just missed the timing to reveal it!”

Timing? Just say it any time. Seokhyun didn’t understand Mongyeon.

Part of him didn’t want to push, thinking it might be better for Mongyeon to keep hiding his skill, given how widely known it was among hunters.

“Don’t bother. If you’re done talking, could you leave? I’m very uncomfortable.”

Seokhyun frowned and tried to lie back in the hammock. He didn’t care about Mongyeon’s love life.

After all, once the owner is scouted, Mongyeon would return to the guild.

“Hey, are you here finishing a mission?”

“You worried? Our guild doesn’t stop functioning just because one or two members are missing. The kids can handle it. By the way, they said they went to find you after defeating the boss, carrying monster bones.”

“…What?”

“I wonder if they’ve finished by now? Maybe they left, thinking I’d eventually show up?”

As they spoke, distant murmuring noises approached.

“What’s that?”

“Look, there’s a bonfire over there, don’t you see?”

Several footsteps and voices became audible.

“What’s this? Spring Camping? Someone’s playing a joke?”

“Tents too? What’s this, a garden?”

Recognizing the familiar voices, Mongyeon’s face grew pale. Hwarang guild members were entering the campsite.

“Quick, transform. Just make something up.”

“How can I just make up something? Hey, wait. Mongyeon!”
