Chapter 71
"Does this make sense?"
Yerin shouted with a shocked look.
I looked at her in amazement.
"Oh, you scared me. Why are you yelling all of a sudden?"
"No, it doesn’t make sense? Did you get the effects of "Baby Yakum’s Cheering? This is a crazy!"
She spewed out in excitement.
Me and Summon Akum watched the scene.
Yerin once again explained that our lukewarm response was ridiculous.
“ Most of the time the buff effect of the Summon is applied only to the Summoner, but with Akum that doesn’t seem to be the case. The effect got applied even to me who saw his dance. The most crazy thing of all is — the buff is applied to five skills. I have never heard of any buff that can increase more than one skill.”
"Ohhh"
“…"
Yerin’s explanation made me understand a little bit of Akum’s greatness.
"He raised my resistance, my physical strength by almost ten. The resistance is 17. Sihyeon, what’s your resistance.?”
"Wait… I think I got a similar one. It went by 10, so it's at 38.”
“Wha…What…What did you say.?”
“You're asking about the resistance right? It’s gone up from 28 to 38."
“You're lying…. Right?"
"What? Why would I lie to you?"
Yerin’s expression changed strangely when she heard my answer.
At first, she looked worried about something, distorted her expression, became angry, and at the end, she looked despondent.
For some reason, I felt scared, and I took a few steps back, hugging Akum.
She growled low as soon as she found me running away.
"Hey, come here."
"Oh, no, what’s wrong with you?"
"Come here. I said come here. I’m so angry right now."
"What did I do wrong…"
I trudged helplessly towards Yerin.
"Say it."
"…?"
"Tell me all the numbers on your stats."
"Hey… I heard it’s very rude to ask an awakened person about that."
"Huh! What's rude between us?"
"No, but…"
“I'll tell you first. 23, 36, 14, 21, 38, 7, all right? Do you want me to tell you about my three sizes too?"
I almost nodded instinctively.
I suppressed my instincts with an indomitable will, and shook my head from side to side.
I could not hide mine since Yerin has revealed her’s.
It’s been a long time since I’ve called the status window.

‘What is this?’
At the end of the status window, there was a characteristic marked ‘???????’
I had doubts for a moment, but I had to put that thought aside for now because of the fuming Yerin in front of me.
As Yerin told me, I told her the numbers of my stats.
When she heard my stats, she looked incredulous.
"No way… didn’t you say you were working on a farm in Demon Realm?"
“Yes. I’m working on a farm."
“ I don’t think it’s possible to increase stats like this with farming? This is the ability of a person who has little experience in combat?"
"Do you have to have experience in combat to increase stats?"
"You can increase it with training or other activities, but you get a lot more experience through combat. It"s not normal for an awakener with no combat experience to reach stats 20 no matter how high his ability is."
"Hmm…."
When I first awakened, all my stats were in single digit.
However, as I worked at Demon Farm, drank Hap, my stats increased steadily.
I’ve never thought my stats were abnormal.
Yerin's explanation made me understand why she reacted like that.
"And your resistance stat is 28?"
“Yeah. What’s wrong with it.?”
"Hey, you idiot! Unlike other abilities, it’s hard to increase resistance. With the exception of wearing equipment and support buffs, the resistance of "38" is hard to see even among the highest level awakeners.”
"…"
Yerin screamed at me almost angrily.
I was very confused by the new fact that I had no idea.
"Are you… into any kind of drug..?”
"Hey! What are you talking about when Akum is listening?"
I covered both of Akum’s ears in astonishment.
"Or it doesn’t make sense. How can you raise your resistance stats by 28?!"
I didn’t know that the ‘Yakum’s trust’ characteristic effect and the resistance stats gained from constant consumption of Hap were so great.
There was no way to explain it to Yerin, so I couldn’t answer anything.
As time passed, she calmed down.
But she still stared at me with an angry look.
"Oh! I thought you were a chick who didn’t know anything, so I was going to teach you sincerely. You’re a good summoner, You’re a fraudster, You got a lot of skills. It would be fun teaching a guy like that."
“Should I be happy with that? “
Bam
"Ugh!"
I shouldn’t have said something cheeky. I got a bloody smack on the back.
⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩
"Summoning was successful, and you don’t know what skills to use. Now I’ll teach you how to strengthen your Summon."
Yerin took out the necklace hanging from her neck and called her Summon.
It was still a heavy and reassuring figure.
"Using a summoning stone, you can strengthen your Summon. If you match the properties of the Summoner’s Stone, you can make it more powerful.”
Yerin showed her necklace and continued her explanation.
“The Summoner’s stone you have now has no properties, but my Summoner’s stone has the property of earth to match the nature of my Summon. ”
“How do you assign attributes to the Summoner’s stone?”
"You have to ask a Soul stone craftsman. Higher grade Soul stones can make your Summon more powerful, but the cost of the carving becomes more expensive. I’ll show you a demonstration first."
Yerin wrapped the summoning stone in her necklace with her hands. She stared at her Summon with a serious expression on her face.
After a while, a golden glow began to form on her Summon’s claw.
The golden glow gradually turned sharp.
“Attack!”
-Croo
With a short cry, Yerin’s Summon swung its claws towards the nearby rock.
The powder and dust made me realize its power.
“You need to know. It’s not as easy as you think. If you do not practice it in advance, you will be unable to do anything in an urgent battle situation. Continuous training is essential!"
I nodded my head at the valuable advice that came from long experience.
"This time, it’s your turn. Strengthen your Summon and attack my Summon."
“Is that okay?”
“You don’t have to worry about it since my Summon has a high defense ability. For reference, when strengthening, focus on the image of the part which you want to strengthen.”
I dropped Summon Akum on the ground and talked to him.
“ Akum. You're going to attack that friend. Can you do it?"
Pow wo wooo
Summoned Akum once again showed confidence
I looked down at him with a mixture of worry and awe
“It's your first time doing this, so don’t overdo it, okay?"
Pow wo wooooooooooooo
I closed my eyes and held the Summoner’s stone in my hand tightly.
I poured my energy into the Summoner’s stone while thinking of the image of Akum’s horn.
[Summon is strengthened with the power of the soul.]
[ Fragment of the Earth’s soul enhances the Power of the soul.]
Pow wo wooo
Uh… Wait, uh huh?!?!
A much stronger power than I had expected began to seep into Summon Akum.
I felt the pressure even in Akum’s cute steps.
When I thought that something was wrong.
Summon Akum was already running towards Yerin"s Summon.
Pow wo woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Bam
Due to the collision of the two Summons, the area got covered with dust.
"Cough, cough. Akum…Are you okay?”
Pow wo woo
After the dust settled slowly, the disastrous scene was revealed.
The ground that got split due to the shock, Yerin’s Summon stretched out lying on the ground, and Summon Akum was standing on top of it.
Yerin looked at the scene with a soulless expression.
I quickly pulled down the tactless Summon Akum standing above Yerin’s Summon into my arms.
"Excuse me… Yerin. He didn’t do it on purpose…"
"… As I focused on the image as you taught, the power control was a little…"
"Uuu"
"Uruuuuu"
Yerin"s eyes began to tear up.
Not only I, but also the baby Yakum in my arms, opened our eyes wide in confusion.
"Yerin, why are you crying all of a sudden?"
Po wo wooo
"Uuu… It took me 5 hours to Summon the first time, but you Summoned right away…Uuuu…. I was going to teach you how to strengthen your Summon, but you knocked down my Summon down, Uuuuu"
“Yerin… It wasn’t meant to be…like…”
"Go away, you bad guys……”
Yerin shouted at us and started weeping.
"Buaaaaaaaaaaa! What is this? Ugh, my pride is hurt!"
“Ye…Yerin, this happened by accident."
"Ugh, what accident… You two monsters..Go away Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
"I"m sorry. It’s my fault, so stop crying."
"Urggggggg……. I’m not going to be your teacher. Take back the goddamn strawberry jam of yours."
Ko-fi
