The Blue Starlight Teddy Bear plushies were still the most popular products for children under five years old. The endearing heart-shaped nose and pink ribbon were trademarks of the monster.
And this Teddy Bear was just as famous among hunters as it was with children. Its mouth, always drawn with a smile, looked utterly grotesque in reality.
‘Grinning murderer, psychopath teddy bear, the teddy bear tears hunters apart while smiling…!’
Numerous adjectives about the Teddy Bear that I had read on the internet flashed through my mind.
Among them, the most famous nickname was ‘Doldol’. A shortened version of ‘crazy teddy bear’.
In Blue Starlight Valley, when hunters were in combat, this bear would eerily appear and cause havoc…
Though the system rated it as A-class, it was an invincible monster that even S-class hunters couldn’t harm.
There was a rumor that the Teddy Bear ate so many magic stones that its stats broke through the meter.
It definitely played a significant role in escalating the difficulty of the already challenging S-class dungeon.
Thud! Thud!
Doldol’s massive paws dropped perpendicularly. I was completely disoriented by the loud noise and barrage of attacks.
“Choking!”
Eventually, my shoulder grazed Doldol’s claw.
[Contact with a monster deactivates Hide-and-Seek Pro (C).]‘Why am I entangled with Doldol when I didn’t even engage in combat?!’
I was lucky not to have lost my arm. The skill deactivated due to the monster’s contact, but I didn’t suffer significant damage.
Dust whirled around the devastated area.
[‘Blue Starlight Teddy Bear (A)’ is disoriented.] [‘Blue Starlight Teddy Bear (A)’ uses ‘Swing (A)’.]Doldol swung its arms when its feet didn’t work, nonchalantly stuffing a grabbed tree into its mouth.
‘Look at that non-picky eater. The rumors might be true…’
As Doldol ate the tree, the dust gradually settled.
‘I’ll be targeted like this!’
Then, I noticed a heart-shaped text near the bear’s ankle. It floated in the air, following the movement of the paw.
[Staring at a monster for more than 5 seconds reveals its affection level.]‘Affection level?’
I remembered I had the ‘Fetch the Sack (A)’ taming skill. Though it was a conditional skill that required over 50% affection to use.
Now that it’s come to this, I have to somehow use the skill to capture the bear.
‘But how?’
Methods to increase affection included feeding, petting, singing, and more.
The most important thing was understanding the preferred habits of the target.
‘What do bears like?’
I recalled a cartoon bear from my childhood that loved honey. But looking around, there was nothing even remotely similar to honey.
Even if there were, without an emotional skill, it would be hard to tell if it was honey.
Then, petting favored areas or feeding…
‘Ha, why not just ask to be killed?’
It all seemed impossible.
Then, suddenly.
Doldol’s red eyes fixed on me through the dust.
“Aaah!”
Doldol lifted my left leg, flipping my view. In an instant, I was hoisted up 10 meters high.
[‘Blue Starlight Teddy Bear (A)’ is pleased.] [‘Blue Starlight Teddy Bear (A)’ waves its hand.]‘This psychopathic teddy bear!’
I was terrified, expecting to be thrown into its mouth at any moment, yet it casually waved its hand.
Doldol’s notoriety was related to such behaviors.
It played with hunters like toys, and then ‘accidentally’ killed them.
As I was too scared to react, it gently swayed me.
“Mom, please save me. Dad, I’m sorry. I was wrong. Sob.”
Tears naturally came to my eyes. Doldol seemed somewhat perplexed.
‘Already bored? Are you going to eat me now?’
Trembling with fear, something fell out of my pocket. Doldol quickly caught the fallen object with its other hand.
‘What’s that?’
Doldol’s eyes momentarily took on a curious expression. The item that had fallen from my pocket was a bear-shaped jelly, a snack I had kept.
Suddenly, Doldol gently set me down on the ground and skillfully opened the bag of jellies using its index finger and thumb, as if it knew exactly what it was doing.
That moment triggered a memory from my past.
‘Mom, why are you taking those?’
Mom always packed snacks before heading into the dungeon.
‘The monsters in the dungeons like human food more than you’d think.’
Back then, I was annoyed, thinking the monsters were stealing my snacks.
[♥ : 32%↑]Now, I found myself cheering for Doldol, who was eagerly eating the jellies with sparkling eyes.
“Yes, yes! Eat more! Here, I have another bag!”
I took out another bag of jellies from my other pocket and tossed it. Doldol caught it swiftly and poured it all into its mouth.
[♥ : 100%↑] [You cannot increase ‘Blue Starlight Teddy Bear (A)’s affection anymore.]The affection level rose higher than the target. I immediately cast the skill.
“Fetch the Sack!”
[Yubom(F) has used ‘Fetch the Sack (A)’ on ‘Blue Starlight Teddy Bear (A)’.] [‘Blue Starlight Teddy Bear (A)’ has been successfully captured.]Doldol stopped moving and looked at me, its red eyes now appearing gentle.
