The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today - Chapter 120



Camp (7)

“How did we end up in a place like this….”

While fleeing from Basago with Arna, we were caught in a landslide not long after.

We are currently trapped inside a cave.

“It’s completely blocked….”

Arna muttered as she looked at the pile of rocks blocking the entrance.

When the landslide first occurred, we quickly took refuge in a nearby cave to avoid the falling earth and rocks.

But as you can see, the entrance is sealed. We could enter at will, but we can’t leave as we please.

Well, at least we saved our lives, so we have to be content with that.

“What happened to Basago? Is he still looking for us?”

Arna wondered about Basago’s next move. He might be searching the area to find us trapped here.

….

[Quest Complete: Rescue]

[Quest Complete: Acquired 3 SP Points!]

[Quest Complete: All stats of Arna Kristindottir have increased by 1!]

A notification appeared, indicating that the quest was cleared. This meant we were completely free from Basago.

“You don’t have to worry too much about that part.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“He probably thinks we were crushed to death by the rocks.”

“Really…?”

Arna pressed her ear against the wall, trying to see if she could hear any sounds from outside.

“Hmm… I really can’t hear anything special.”

With that, Arna accepted that Basago had completely retreated.

But the situation wasn’t over yet….

“More importantly, what do we do now? We need to clear that away….”

Arna pointed to the entrance. She asked how they were going to get through that dense pile of stones that not even a single ray of moonlight could penetrate.

“Should we just break through it?”

Arna raised her sword. She thought of smashing those stones with force. If it was Arna, it would be possible.

But I stopped her.

“That’s dangerous. If we do it wrong, there could be another landslide.”

If we recklessly break through the entrance, the soil piled up outside could flow inside. On the contrary, those rocks are protecting us.

There’s no need to disturb a beehive that’s staying still.

“Then what do you suggest we do?”

“The only option here is to request a rescue.”

I turned on my smartwatch and sent an emergency rescue signal. There are still employees of Geumseonggak on site. And my team members, who boast strong camaraderie, are also there.

Soon, they will come to rescue us.

“Monster with big breasts. Why don’t you request a rescue from the guild too?”

“Ah… I…”

For a moment, Arna avoided my gaze. She muttered softly in that state.

“Maybe… it won’t work….”

“What do you mean it won’t work?”

It’s just a matter of requesting support from the guild. Why is she hesitating over something so simple?

Did something happen during her dispatch period? Seeing her shoulders shrink, it seems something happened at Hyeongwang.

“Don’t tell me you’re being bullied.”

“Wh-who said I’m being bullied!”

Arna strongly denied it with a flushed face. It seems she really is being treated as an outcast.

Well, to be precise, she probably couldn’t adapt to guild life and ended up being alone.

“Tsk tsk. I should have known when she was wandering around alone without a team.”

“…”

“What did you do to be treated like that?”

I couldn’t understand it with my common sense.

Isn’t Arna a great catch? There’s no doubt about her skills, and her personality isn’t as rough as Kang Tae-hoon’s. From the guild’s perspective, she’s definitely a talent worth welcoming with open arms.

However, she does have a bit of a perverted side, like stealing someone else’s panties without a word.

“Did you really get caught stealing someone else’s panties? Even at Hyun-gwang?”

“Wh-Wh-Why would I do such a thing…! Why would I steal something like panties…!”

“Then why did you do that to me back then?”

“Please forget about that…!”

Arna covered her ears and shook her head vigorously, not wanting to hear anymore.

But just because she did that, it doesn’t erase the dark history. At least, it will be forever etched in her mind.

“Sigh…”

After some time passed, Arna let out a deep sigh.

Then, she confessed the truth.

“I was only thinking about myself…”

Arna blamed herself greatly, saying it was all her fault.

“I just demanded work without considering the direction of the guild at all…”

It turned out to be a problem caused by her unfamiliarity with the guild system. After all, Arna was just an intern. There’s no way she could know everything about how the guild operates.

It was a common mistake for a newbie.

“Why are you so down about that? It’s just a temporary assignment. In a few days, we won’t even see each other anymore.”

“But still…”

“If there’s something you don’t know, you can learn it, and if there’s something you’re lacking, you can fix it. Just because you fell once doesn’t mean you should cry about it.”

“Wait! I didn’t cry! Do you think I’m like you?”

“Look at me, the resilient monster.”

I proudly spread my arms and said to Arna.

“No matter how many times I fall, I get back up like a roly-poly. You know that better than anyone.”

“Are you bragging about that now…?”

Arna gave me a disdainful look.

It seems my consolation didn’t work.

“I know that… at least…”

Arna lowered her head again, going back into her dejected mode.

“But what should I say… I also have moments when I feel weak…”

“What? That resilient monster?”

“I’m a person too! When things don’t go well, I want to vent to someone and be comforted like an ordinary person!”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

I couldn’t just let Arna crumble like this. In a way, taking care of Arna’s mental state was one of my main duties, wasn’t it?

I spread my arms wide once more.

“Come here, you little milk tank. For today, it’s okay to lean on me. I’ll pet you as much as you want until you’re satisfied.”

“What are you suddenly saying in such a gross way…!”

“Come here.”

“Ahh…! If you come closer, I’ll kill you… uh…? Wait a second…! Stop…!”

At that moment, Arna reached out, claiming she had found something.

She pointed at my chest.

“What’s that wound?”

It was exactly below my collarbone, on the upper part of my ribcage. There was a small wound there.

“Is this what you mean? I just got scratched a bit while blocking the tentacles earlier.”

“What? You got hit by a tentacle?”

“I didn’t get hit; I just got scratched a little.”

It’s not a wound deep enough to bleed. Just a quick spray of hydrogen peroxide and a dab of antiseptic would be enough to fix it.

“Oh no…!”

But Arna’s reaction was different. She didn’t take this small wound lightly.

With a serious expression as if there was a fire at home, she urgently grabbed my collar.

She was trying to take off my clothes.

“Take this off right now!”

“Has the heat gotten to you? Now you’re not just stealing my underwear but trying to strip me too?”

“I don’t have time for jokes! Hurry up!”

Arna was desperately trying to take off my clothes. No, she seemed ready to tear them apart.

I struggled with all my might to protect my clothes.

“You milk tank monster… What’s with this sudden behavior… At least you should explain yourself…”

“You said you were attacked by Basago! If you don’t get the poison out quickly, your flesh will rot!”

What? Was it just because of that?

If you get bitten by Basago, your flesh can indeed rot and necrose.

But that only happens when you’re bitten by the teeth attached to Basago’s arm. There are poison glands under those teeth.

For reference, I was only scratched by the tentacle. Fortunately, the tentacle doesn’t have any strong venomous substances like fangs.

In other words, it’s safe.

“Tentacle monster, calm down for now. What you’re thinking won’t happen.”

“How do you know that! Have you fought Basago?”

“Um.”

When you put it that way, there’s nothing I can say. I’ve never actually fought Basago. It’s just future knowledge in my head.

This alone won’t convince Arna.

“I saw it with my own eyes! Corpses bitten by Basago, with their blood and flesh rotting away!”

In the end, I couldn’t resist Arna’s strength and had to take off my shirt.

Exposing bare skin in this situation. It was a bit embarrassing.

“So how do you plan to remove the poison? Do you have an antidote or something?”

“Antidote? No way! Here, we have to suck out the poison directly!”

“Surely you don’t mean to do it with your mouth…”

“Of course, with my mouth!”

Oh my god.

What era is this, and you’re still thinking of sucking out poison with your mouth. Even my grandfather wouldn’t do that.

I was just dumbfounded.

“Tentacle monster. Make some sense. Sucking out poison with your mouth. Don’t you know that you could endanger yourself? What would medical professionals across the country say if they saw this?”

“Still, we have to try something! We can’t just let the skin rot away like this!”

“So… I’m telling you, that won’t happen…”

I appreciate that you’re doing this for me, but at the same time, I’m worried about your recklessness.

Imagine if I were really affected by venom. Arna’s actions right now are extremely dangerous.

One person could die, and now two might die for no reason.

“Sit there quietly!”

Here, I have no choice but to pretend to comply. I reluctantly sat on a nearby rock as Arna instructed.

It was just the right height for a chair.

“….”

What kind of situation is this? I never thought I’d see the day when Arna would suck my flesh.

It was less embarrassing when my underwear was stolen.

I really don’t know how to react to this.

“Then… should I just stay still…?”

Arna placed her hand gently on my shoulder. Then she bent down, bringing her eyes level with my chest.

*Gulp─*

We were in a narrow, dark cavern. The sound of swallowing echoed throughout the space.

Of course, that sound came from Arna.

“Ugh…”

Arna hesitated for a moment, her face close to my chest. She was clearly unsure, nervous about actually pressing her lips to my skin.

*Hiss…!*

But that hesitation didn’t last long.

Arna squeezed her eyes shut tightly.

Then, she kissed my wound and began to tend to it with surprising care.

*Chup… chup…*
