TRHSOS 25

Chapter 25

“Ueeeeeeng!”

Could it really be… Una, Park Siwoo’s beloved sauna tub, Una?

When the dungeon break occurred on the house balcony, the floor where Una had been had also plunged into darkness.

Could she have been swept into the dungeon at that time?

It was entirely possible.

Whether an ordinary sauna tub could become the final boss was another question, though.

“Beca, is the final dungeon boss really the sauna tub I had?”

[“The ‘Owner of the Tower’ is currently absent due to hunters visiting the 46th floor.”]

Right. Beca had also been the 46th-floor boss.

By now, Old Man Whitebeard’s fatigue from the blood probably would have fully dissipated, and the door would be open, so he must be busy.

“That pattern… it’s exactly like our Una’s.”

Park Siwoo carefully examined the cosmos-and-planet pattern engraved on the boss monster’s body.

“Now that you mention it, it does seem like it…”

Before I could even finish speaking, Park Siwoo fearlessly approached the boss, crouched down, and peered at the bottom of the sauna tub.

“It’s here. My name. It’s really our Una!”

His face brightened when he realized that the boss was indeed his Una.

“But how did you end up as a dungeon boss? And what do you mean by being abandoned?”

Seeing Park Siwoo confused as if he didn’t understand what was going on, I felt guilty recalling the days when I had lent the sauna tub to Old Man Whitebeard without the owner’s permission.

He wouldn’t possibly think that I had abandoned it when I lent it to Whitebeard, right?

I hadn’t abandoned it; I had only lent it temporarily and intended to retrieve it.

Admittedly, I had completely forgotten about it until Park Siwoo came looking for it.

“Ueeeeeeng!”

[“The abandoned sauna tub, Una (SS), who has returned to mark the owner who abandoned her, begins to rampage.”]

Una, thinking that Park Siwoo had abandoned her, turned bloodshot with rage as soon as she saw him.

Swinging her red-gloved hands protruding from her tub body, she looked incredibly threatening.

“If that hits me, my teeth might fly out like corn kernels,” I thought, feeling a sharp twinge in my jaw even though I hadn’t been hit, and I moved farther away from the sauna tub.

It would be bad if Una remembered that I was the one who had “abandoned” her.

“Siwoo hyung! That’s not the Una you know! Step away from the boss immediately!”

Jiho shouted a warning to Park Siwoo, who kept his eyes locked on Una without any caution.

But Park Siwoo, for reasons I couldn’t understand, moved even closer to the boss.

“Una, listen to me. It’s true I lost you because I couldn’t manage you properly, but I never intended to abandon you! You know how much I care about you…”

Park Siwoo’s words couldn’t continue.

Una mercilessly smacked his cheek with her gloved hand.

He needed that slap to come to his senses.

Park Siwoo, hit hard by Una, spurted blood from his nose and was thrown to the floor.

“Park Siwoo, you idiot! What’s in front of you isn’t your beloved sauna tub—it’s an SS-class boss! Do you really need to hit it to find out whether it’s poop or miso?”

“No, right now she’s just angry. Una will surely listen to me. We’ve spent years together. Losing her was my fault, so it’s only natural that she’s this mad.”

“Hey! If you keep getting beaten like that, you might really die, you know?”

Ignoring my protest, Park Siwoo wiped the blood from his nose with the back of his hand, quickly stood up, and spread his arms wide toward Una.

“Una, I’m fine. Keep hitting me until you calm down.”

Is he really insane?

Why is he here in a dungeon, filming a youth drama with the final boss?

I could hardly believe that he was my registered mate.

“Ueeeeeeng!”

“Hyung, it’s really okay, so there’s no need to—”

“Ueeeeeeeng!”

Once again, Park Siwoo couldn’t finish his sentence.

Una, showing no mercy, pressed him down with both hands.

With a dull thud, Park Siwoo fell again.

Isn’t he going to die for real at this rate?

Even I, who had been observing from a distance, could sense that the situation was becoming serious.

“Hyung! Are you crazy? How can you just take that?”

Unable to just watch, Jiho rushed to the fallen Park Siwoo and guarded him.

Siwoo really takes a lot of care, huh?

“I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but if we stay here like this, we’re all going to die!”

Hyun Jeongwoo, watching the scene with a baffled expression, pulled something out of his jacket pocket.

Yes, that’s the normal reaction.

Why is it that everyone around me is such a lunatic?

I let out a sigh.

‘Looks like I’ll have to step in, but since this is an SS-class boss, I’m not sure I can handle her alone even if I activate my imprint.’

Moreover, it was my first time in a dungeon today, so I had no experience fighting even lower-level monsters.

[Constellation ‘Do You Believe in Luck?’ shakes wet hair with a hot spring towel and offers, “If necessary, I’ll remove the eyes that can see so you can freely manifest your imprint.”]

‘What’s their intention? Are they honestly offering to help?’

I cast a suspicious glance at Unsure, who was unusually trying to act like a normal constellation.

[Constellation ‘Do You Believe in Luck?’ says, “I’ve gotten quite perceptive lately,” and adds, “The fortune said if I help you, I’ll get to see an entertaining spectacle.”]

What kind of fortune is that that makes them so willingly help me?

‘Please don’t mean my death is the “entertaining spectacle” they’re talking about.’

[Constellation ‘Do You Believe in Luck?’ says, “Even so, I’m not that crazy,” reassuring me.]

‘Well, that’s a relief. Not as bad as I feared.’

At least it seems they realize they’re not entirely sane.

Anyway, they’re providing me with a situation where I can act without revealing that I’m an awakened.

‘But I have to make sure no one here gets hurt.’

[Constellation ‘Do You Believe in Luck?’ smiles, saying, “It’s troublesome, but it’s worth it for the spectacle,” agreeing to help.]

[Constellation ‘Ruler of the Hot Springs’ frowns, “For some reason, their smile is irritating.”]

I still felt uneasy, but for now, it was the best option.

‘First, I’ll show getting knocked down by Una, then do whatever is needed.’

I needed at least one plausible story to use as a pretext.

[Constellation ‘Ruler of the Hot Springs’ questions, “Why take on such a troublesome task?”]

[Constellation ‘Do You Believe in Luck?’ says, “It’s secretive and thrilling, isn’t it?”]

[Constellation ‘Ruler of the Hot Springs’ mutters, “That guy’s tastes are perverse,” feeling uneasy.]

‘Alright, let’s rush in.’

[Constellation ‘Ruler of the Hot Springs’ panics, “Why is he suddenly acting like a runaway locomotive?”]

[Constellation ‘Do You Believe in Luck?’ warns, “Don’t forget, you’re an E-rank awakened, and the sauna tub is an SS-class boss.”]

But their warnings couldn’t stop me.

‘Unsure, you told me yourself.’

[Constellation ‘Do You Believe in Luck?’ looks uneasy and questions.]

‘You’re not crazy enough to enjoy watching me die.’

[Constellation ‘Do You Believe in Luck?’ curses, “This crazy ★☆☆★, can’t you stop immediately?”]

“Enough of this nonsense! You sauna-tub-like Park Siwoo! Let’s see who dies first!”

Seizing the moment when everyone was off guard, I charged at the sauna tub with my bare body.

Voices shouting to stop me came too late; I had already been slammed into the floor by the furious Una.

“Park Suon! Una, no matter who you are, I can’t let you touch my brother.”

The moment Park Siwoo pulled out an ice gun, three talismans appeared out of nowhere, spinning once in the air before instantly sticking to their foreheads.

At the same time, they all collapsed to the ground.

Was it all settled now?

Pretending to be unconscious on the floor, I slowly opened my eyes and surveyed the surroundings.

Everyone was unconscious, and a golden barrier surrounded them.

After assessing the situation, I lightly stood up and quickly scanned the messages that had passed before my eyes.

They were the abilities that had activated simultaneously when I had rushed at the boss without a plan.

[Constellation ‘Immortal Killer’ temporarily increases my defense with ‘Immortal Shield’ by ???????.]

[Constellation ‘Do You Believe in Luck?’ chants the spell to cast a ‘Protection Barrier.’]

[With the power of the ‘Protection Barrier,’ people in the field do not take damage from the boss for a certain period.]

[Constellation ‘Ruler of the Hot Springs’ takes damage on behalf of the contractor through imprinting.]

[Constellation ‘Yama of the Underworld’ orders the death gods to remove the name “Park Suon” from today’s death roster.]
