I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Bangguseok Choseon （2）

In the end, I decided to take both women who expressed their strong desire to go.

There wasn’t anyone else to take anyway. Let’s think positive.

Think of Paya and Tteunteuni as taking a plane and a pilot. Noah is close to Bangguseok Choseon, so taking her along might help ease any apprehension they might have.

They’re not completely useless in a fight against demons either. I believe Tteunteuni’s breath can inflict significant damage even on mid-ranking demons.

Noah’s skills are focused on supporting allies, so she can keep Bangguseok Choseon and the followers safe. So she’s not a completely useless member.

In a way, this party includes all three elements that I always emphasize in terms of image.

Beauty （Rake）, animal （Tteunteuni）, child （Paya, and while it’s debatable, even Noah）. Seeing this, even the Pope, who is expected to be strict, serious, and solemn, will surely break into a big smile.

We decided to only congratulate Kanto on his wedding before leaving. Still, as a god, I should at least officiate the wedding.

It was obvious that in barbarian culture, it was an unparalleled honor to have a Loa personally officiate the wedding and bless the couple’s future.

━ …You are taking your first steps towards a new life. I am proud.

Is this how you do it? I should have officiated a wedding before.

━ I, Malak, will bless your path with happiness.

Let’s use ‘Healing Totem’ here.

“Emma, Malak-nim has blessed us. There’s nothing to worry about.”

“Kanto-ssi…”

Well, as long as the bride and groom are happy, it’s all good. The ceremony proceeded smoothly.

“But I liked him first…!”

The highlight was the tears of Una, the spearwoman who was Kanto’s left hand. It was quite pitiful to see her crying in the corner with her back turned.

Honestly, this is partly Una’s fault. As his left hand, she was always with him, so she had plenty of opportunities to confess, but she never did.

A courageous woman wins a great man. This is true whether on Earth or in another world.

“If I wasn’t a warrior… if I were an ordinary woman…!”

…Didn’t she take any action? Well, maybe Kanto wasn’t into warrior women. It can’t be helped.

That doesn’t mean the opportunity is completely gone. Barbarian society allows polygamy, so it’s not a bad idea to aim for being a second wife.

The wedding ceremony proceeded and ended normally, with blessings from many members of the federation.

There were no incidents like Kanto’s ex-girlfriend bursting in and saying ‘Actually, I have Kanto-nim’s child in my belly too~!’ or men who had their lovers stolen by Kanto starting a fight.

Considering how this guy usually acts, it could have easily happened. Anyway, it’s a relief.

━ Let’s go.

We left immediately after the ceremony. It’s not good to delay too much.

“I have no intention of being a babysitter, so take care of yourselves. And don’t bother Malak-nim.”

“Chieftain Rake, have you forgotten that we’re only three or four years apart in age?”

“I’ll be an adult next year…”

Tteunteuni took to the sky with Rake, Paya, and Noah on his back. I’m currently nestled in Rake’s arms in the form of Totem No. 3.

“Isn’t he too fat? He’s gotten so much fatter than the last time I rode him. Make him exercise. It’s true what they say about pets resembling their owners.”

“How is this fat? Feel his back! It’s all muscle! And, resemble who? Chieftain Rake! You really…!”

“Waaaaah…! I-It’s too high! I-I shouldn’t look down!”

This party is not going to be easy from the start. Did I make a mistake bringing them along?

━ Don’t let your guard down. The sky is easy to be targeted.

“I apologize.”

“…Yes.”

“Understood…Ugh!”

“H-Hey? Turn your head and do it!”

The three of them only quieted down after being scolded.

Now, let’s calmly review the plan.

The church where Bangguseok Choseon, the Pope, and the followers are hiding is located north of Linea, where Siu and the Ashgrey Fog Tribe live.

It’s not exactly close. It’s about two regions away. I wasn’t planning on asking for their help, so I’m going to pass by.

Taking a large group of people a long distance is a lot of work. Especially when they’re not much help in a fight against demons.

After we’re done subjugating demons and rescuing Bangguseok Choseon, I’m thinking of stopping by and suggesting they join the Tribal Federation. It’s about time we all unite.

It’s not like they’re as far away as the Golden Sun Tribe. And we’re not short on resources or space at the Tribal Federation headquarters.

As for food, I can just use ‘Power of the Wind and Rain God’ to quickly produce corn and potatoes, and the castle was built to accommodate thousands of people, so there’s no problem.

Literally, it’s ‘Just come and you’re good’.

I had nothing to do, so I spent time browsing the community forum.

[Not a Netkama: Hey]

[Not a Netkama: What are you doing?]

I got a message from Hanna. She seemed to be busy after joining Dina’s Special Forces.

It’s been days since our last conversation.

[Scratching my belly]

[Not a Netkama: You crazy bastard]

It’s been a while since I’ve heard her curse. How heartwarming.

[How are things?]

I wonder how she’s doing. I’m curious and a little worried.

Knowing Dina’s newbie-abusing personality, I bet she’s pushing them hard.

[Not a Netkama: Same old, same old]

[Not a Netkama: Subjugation training subjugation training subjugation training subjugation training subjugation training subjugation training subjugation training subjugation training]

There’s a hint of madness in her message.

[Are you doing nothing but training and subjugation every day?]

[Not a Netkama: Pretty much]

[Not a Netkama: At this rate, I’ll be Level 7 in no time]

She’s working hard. Maybe she’ll be in the top 1% of Paladins when we meet again.

Dina-seonsaengnim’s special tutoring is amazing. It makes me want to entrust our Noah to her.

[Are you free now?]

[Not a Netkama: A little?]

[Not a Netkama: Taking a break after a subjugation. It’s called a break, but I’m actually farming]

I’m glad she seems to be doing well.

[Make sure you’re eating properly]

[Not a Netkama: Are you my dad?]

We continued to chat.

[Not a Netkama: Dina is so strict. She nagged me so much when I was too tired to wash up and went to sleep]

[Wash up regularly]

[Not a Netkama: Oh, shut up! It was just that one time!]

[Not a Netkama: You really wanna die?]

Hanna, who seemed to have bottled up a lot, was badmouthing Dina. She’s a perfectionist and extremely meticulous, so I heard she can be annoying sometimes.

A few more hours passed.

“Tteunteuni is getting tired. I think it’s because this is his first time carrying three people.”

Paya looked down at Tteunteuni with worried eyes. As a bonus, she muttered, “It’s because Chieftain Rake is heavy.”

“…”

Rake didn’t retort, probably because I had scolded her earlier. Instead, she’s staring intently at Paya.

She’s going to kill her with her eyes.

━ Let’s get down.

Tteunteuni is a valuable asset, so let’s give him a break. We decided to walk until our spirit recovers.

It was while we were moving with the three women.

“There are life forms nearby. They seem to be Infected.”

Rake, who was walking ahead, drew her Meteor Sword. The black Meteor Sword glinted in the sunlight.

It’s a cheat item that cut through the Tunnel Demon and Asha in one go.

━ Can you determine their numbers?

“There are about eight.”

Eight Infected. I wouldn’t even get 10 points for taking them down now.

Just like Paladins struggle to gain experience points after a certain level, my points are the same.

Let’s give Noah some experience points.

━ Paladin Noah, eliminate the Infected.

Noah nodded and moved towards the Infected. Her eyes were sharp, ready for battle.

Has Noah, who was just an ordinary Japanese high school girl, finally adapted to this world? I thought she’d always be clumsy.

Growl…!

The Infected were moving with something in their mouths, which looked like human flesh.

They wouldn’t kill demon worshippers who are brainwashed by demons. It must have belonged to survivors.

Ugh, I’m suddenly angry. These damn bastards.

“Hiya!”

Noah swung her sword and eliminated the Infected in an instant. Her skills were comparable to a veteran barbarian warrior.

I think Hanna was Level 4 when I first saw her. Noah is also Level 4 now, so maybe she could take down a weak lower-ranking demon.

Hmm, maybe it’s difficult because she didn’t invest in offensive skills like Hanna?

“They’re decomposed. They must have been dead for a long time.”

Rake, who had briefly examined the human flesh the Infected were carrying, continued.

“…So you don’t have to blame yourself.”

She read my emotions. I wasn’t blaming myself, though.

I was just reminded that even though I’m thriving, people are dying elsewhere.

Just a fleeting feeling that I’ll forget after a while.

Still, thank you for your concern. As expected of my right hand. It makes me want to pat her head every time she does this.

“Malak-nim, look over there.”

Paya is looking in one direction with a serious expression. There’s a building that appears to have recently collapsed.
