Haak─ Haak─
Sophia wiped her lips with her hand and let out a harsh breath.
Her arm that was pulling the bowstring was trembling as if in a spasm, and sweat was pouring down from her whole body.
On her shoulders, salt crystals sparkled white as sea water evaporated in the sun.
‘······When will this end? No, it will end, right?’
As she was the last to join the Utopia party, her stamina was at a premium.
No matter how talented she was, she could close the distance between herself and the party members, but at the basic level, there was still a gap that could not be bridged.
However, that did not mean that the expressions on the faces of the Utopia party members were bright.
They too had lost their expressions due to the long battle.
Now, about three hours have passed since we started blocking the monster wave.
Thousands of blue crab corpses were piled up in grotesque shapes on the beach.
As the noise and vibration coming from the speakers accumulated, the Blue Crab, which was originally a Class A monster, was now weakened to the point where it could not even control its body properly.
The Utopia party members now looked almost like skilled employees at a crab factory dismantling crabs.
Suddenly!
“Another one!”
Jin Yu-ha, who is alone with an excited expression, cuts off all of the blue crab’s legs with just two slashes.
“Kkuddeuddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!”
Yuri Lee uses her shield as leverage to flip the Blue Crab’s body over so that its stomach is facing up.
“Tch!”
Quad deud deuk—!
Then, when Kang Do-hee slightly opens the stomach flap with his hand,
“hahahaha hahahahaha—profit!”
Phew! Phew!
Sophia shoots an arrow into the gap and pinpoints the blue crab’s weak spot, the gills.
“Kieeek······.”
If you do that, the blue crab will let out a helpless moan and die instantly.
Whirik─ Whirik─
Lim Ga-eul, who was waiting with the magic thread pulled out, wraps the blue crab’s legs and body around it and drags its body to the beach.
“Sigh!! Profit! “Wow, it’s heavy!!!”
Just like a puzzle being put together, all party members were sharing their roles and cooperating.
However, it is very strange that everyone except Jin Yu-ha has dead eyes.
Even that blue crab.
“Next!!!”
Let Jin Yuha shout out.
As if the Blue Crab understood what he said, his body trembled and he turned around and tried to run away.
Kang─! Kang—! Kang—! Kang—! Kang—!
The sound of Lee Yu-ri’s shield caught his footsteps again.
“······Kkieeeh······.”
The Blue Crab had no choice but to turn its attention to Yuri and let out a sad cry.
The four bright red eyes that sprouted from his back twinkled pitifully.
Jin Yu-ha, who was staring at the scene, spoke in a rough voice to the drone floating in the air.
“Hey, it looks like the shouting has gone down a bit? “It seems like the monster is slightly turning its attention in that direction now?”
─ Huh? Well, you seem to be doing well right now...
“No, we didn’t ask you to please us. “They say you have to keep shouting to be safe?”
─ ······.
“Oh, one is trying to go that way! Come on! “Please cheer up one last time!”
─ I heard that last one a while ago...
A trainer at a gym asks for an additional shout, as if ordering ‘One last time!’
Sophia looked at the figure, rolling her eyes.
‘Devil······. Oh devil...
The audience roared and cried.
─ Wow!!!! Utopia! Utopia!!!
He spoke indifferently to the party members who were making progress, not knowing what everyone was thinking.
“Well, isn’t it encouraging to have people cheering for you like this!? Now, everyone, let’s do a little more!”‘
With her helpless expression on her face, Sophia raised one corner of her mouth as if twitching and let out a laugh.
‘This is hell... Usually hell...’
* * *
Two more hours have passed since then.
Now the bright sunlight has faded, and the beach has become a dark night.
─ Lord, kill me...
Follow curr𝒆nt nov𝒆ls on fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com.
─ Off... My throat, my throat was all hoarse...
─ Geeek······.
The people who had been shouting at Jin Yu-ha’s request all the time split apart as if they had reached their limit, and it turned into the cries of a blue crab.
And the Utopia party members were no longer able to hide their tiredness.
Even Kang Do-hee, who was the most lively.
Jin Yuha looked at her with an uncomfortable face and wiggled her eyebrows.
‘Are you tired already?’
The monster wave strategy for this Swimsuit Festival was originally a popular mini-game in Velvets.
A mini game where a party of six competes to see how many blue crabs they can catch!
Once caught, the by-products of blue crabs can make a lot of money, but
It was a content that everyone tried at least once because the additional products that came in once you were in the rankings were not bad.
‘Sseu-eup, is it Lee Jeong-don in the end...? Still, I wanted to fill 10,000 somehow...’
The number of blue crabs caught by the Utopia Party so far is approximately 9,000.
‘Ahh, it wasn’t like that when I was like that, but when I was! ‘The kids have no grit!’
Jin Yu-ha clicked her tongue, remembering her original record in the game.
The plan was perfect.
I thought it might be possible because the cheering was louder than the cheering in the original game, and there was even Yuri Lee, who provoked the monster in a wide area.
But in the end, she ended up setting a poor record that fell far short of the 12,000 that she had set during her time as a gamer.
Jin Yu-ha, who was internally dissatisfied with not being able to catch more blue crabs, suddenly looked like he realized something.
‘No, can I just consider it as something I did okay?’
In Velvetsra, where the game has become a reality, there is no gacha and there are no goods to grow party members.
In other words, the Utopia party members have risen to this level only through training from a pure state.
Even though they didn’t reach 10,000, just catching a close number might have been a ‘not bad’ enough achievement.
hahahaha─
But a sigh of regret inevitably escapes.
“Still, it’s a shame... “I can’t believe I caught even 10,000 of them...”
However, there was something Jin Yuha was mistaken about.
First of all, the standard of ‘10,000’ at the Swimsuit Festival and Monster Blue Crab Wave was the unit used in Velvetsra as a standard for determining stagnant water.
Currently, there is no ‘special’ position in the Utopia party that specializes in massacre of civilians!
In other words, Utopia was already close to being filled with in-game goods, even with five party members rather than a full party of six.
However, during his gaming days, Jin Yu-ha, who had become accustomed to somehow getting the ball rolling and setting a record of more than a perfect score, could not even think of what was happening below.
“Rather fortunately, I was able to get a rough idea of how weak the party members were this time... I’ll have to work harder on my party members from now on. Otherwise, there will be a lot of really dangerous things going on in the future.”
Jin Yu-ha muttered something to herself that would have shocked other users if they knew, then looked back at the party members and clapped.
“Everyone, let’s do this!”
And then I looked up at the drone.
─ hehehe! Ji, Jin Yuha is here again!
─ Jo, I like it, but I’m scared!!
─ Cow, I will scream! Oh, I won’t rest! Wow!!
The audience, who had been constantly harassed by Jin Yu-ha, habitually screamed.
“Ah, it’s all over now. “I don’t think the monsters will approach anymore.”
Jin Yuha smiled brightly and spoke in a natural voice.
─ Oh, it’s a lie! But then again, they’ll say it’s the last time!
“Oh, no. Now take a look. “Now the monsters can’t even get close.”
Everyone in the party looked at Jin Yu-ha with an absurd expression.
‘They were in that state from a while ago... She tried to run away, but you didn’t let her run away...’
But, no one said those words out of her mouth. She just swallows her bubbling insides.
─ I, really!? Are you safe now!?
“Yes, you are safe now! So finally, finally! I won’t do it again! “Please give us a loud cheer!”
With Jin Yu-ha’s declaration of the end of the attack.
─ Waaa!! It’s over!!!! It’s really over!!!
The people cheered with all their might.
Chajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja-!!!!
Then, the remaining blue crabs glanced at Yuri, and when she did not hit her shield, they turned around and ran away into the sea.
Im Ga-eul watched the blue crabs running away from afar.
“Ha... Okay, it’s over. Huh, junior! It’s all over now!? Is it true!!?”
She said, lying down on her back.
“Yes, it’s really over now. “Even if I tried to do more, they all ran away.”

Jin Yuha nods her head and confirms it again.
Everyone, including Lim Ga-eul, sat down in their seats and let out a long sigh.
“······Okay, it’s over...”
“I don’t think I’ll ever come to the sea again.”
“I’m so sick of crabs!!!”
“Ha, my first sea...”
However, the voice is like pouring cold water on him.
“Oh my, are you done now? hehehe, thank you all for your hard work.”
The party members sat down in their seats and rolled their eyes at Shin Se-hee, biting their lips.
A soft body that is not wet, a smooth face that appears to have been well-fed and well-rested. She was even wearing a silk shawl over her swimsuit.
“It’s good that everyone worked hard. “Now I have one last thing to do.”
“······What to do? Junior, we are really having a hard time now...”
“Hmm, but it’s something that only you can do?”
“What is that, a flower garden?”
Shin Se-hee laughed sarcastically and looked around at the corpses of crabs scattered randomly behind him.
“Now you have to move them all.”
“What!? Uh, where!”
“I ordered a refrigerated truck across the country.”
“······You can just order by-product sellers! Why!”
“Oh, this is not a by-product, but a food ingredient. It’s also quite expensive... Is that right, Jin Yu-ha?”
“······Uh, yes.”
“So, shouldn’t we load it quickly before it loses freshness? “Is this all your money?”
Shin Se-hee’s bright smile made her party members glare at her as if they were going to kill her.
