I Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 457

Time passed quickly. Until Bbareumbo made a full recovery, Grylls focused on hunting whenever possible.

Thanks to that, he had managed to catch not only giant sheep, but several fairly worthwhile creatures as well. The most profitable among them had been the wolves.

"This thing hasn’t been hit by radiation or anything, has it?"

"What is radiation?"

"Something like that exists."

For example, the Cerberus wolf. This one possessed some rather unique abilities too.

Its middle head spat fire, its left head unleashed frost, and its right head launched sonic attacks.

Other than that, it did not have any particularly remarkable abilities, so hunting it had been easy enough.

[Is that a Cerberus?]

"Probably?"

After returning to the Shelter, Grylls butchered it right away. With three heads, draining its blood had been easy.

After storing it in the freezer, he looked over at the vegetable patch. All the rice that had stretched high into the sky was gone.

He had somehow managed to cut it down and throw it across the river.

’I went through hell just plowing up the vegetable patch too.’

He had not scattered the overturned soil in the Gallery, either. He had thrown all of it into the river.

Too much of a good thing was still too much. It had been excessive to such a degree that he had had no choice.

Anyway, as time went by, Bbareumbo also recovered quickly.

It was possible because Grylls had restored his stamina by giving him Elixirs every so often.

"Is it good?"

"..."

Nod—

Bbareumbo, who was eating a Fasting Pill, slowly nodded his head.

That Fasting Pill was something Grylls had recently received from the Heavenly Demon. It was not an ordinary Fasting Pill, but one made with premium ingredients.

Perhaps it suited Bbareumbo’s palate perfectly, because he put it into his mouth without a single complaint.

Grylls snickered at the sight before silently looking outside.

’Winter will be here soon.’

The days were gradually growing chilly, and the weather was gloomy as well. It was a sign that rain was coming.

It was not strange. Winter always arrived after the rain came pouring down.

Still, thanks to hunting steadily, he had plenty of food. He had grown vegetables on the side as well.

All that remained was to receive the suspiciously warm fur blanket. It would probably arrive soon.

With every preparation complete, Grylls had a separate plan in mind.

’Training my External Arts, and recovering my memories.’

He trained his External Arts steadily every winter. But the memories were another matter.

The dream he had had before his resurrection. He was still confused as to whether that dream had been real or false.

Of course, considering that he could speak English fluently, there was a high chance that the dream itself was not false.

He simply wondered whether the person who had experienced that dream had truly been himself, or someone else entirely.

Only by somehow going through a similar experience would he be able to roughly uncover the secret of this forest.

’Originally, I was going to ask Lady Starlight or Allfather, but...’

He had asked the two of them whether there were any potions that could cure amnesia.

[Lady Starlight: If such a potion existed, we would have cured dementia immediately. Unfortunately, anything involving the brain is dangerous if handled incorrectly.]

[Wild Grylls: Uh... if dementia can be cured, does that mean memories can be restored too?]

[Lady Starlight: There is a difference between illness and shock, but the fact remains that both involve losing one’s memories.]

If such a thing existed, dementia would have been cured first. And Empty Sky Stone Milk had conquered even dementia.

Curing dementia was no different from reclaiming one’s lost self.

Therefore, if even Empty Sky Stone Milk could not restore his memories, then those two geniuses would be unable to do so as well.

’All I did was create some weird misunderstandings.’

Lady Starlight treated him as a god who had lost his memories, while Allfather earnestly attempted to analyze him.

Fortunately, both of them had let the matter go, saying they had things to do. In any case, he gave up on recovering his memories through potions.

The only thing he could do was drink Empty Sky Stone Milk before going to sleep. This was the best he could manage.

’If I can’t recover my memories, well... it can’t be helped.’

When spring came again, he planned to walk to the World Tree. Personally, without using Cheongseol’s abilities.

As the Sunbeam Cow that had been stored amid the sheep’s wool proved, there might be bunkers along the way.

It was connected not to some other country, but to the Republic of Korea. He had no choice but to go find it.

Patat! Swoooosh!

As he steadily laid out his plans, rain began to pour down.

Grylls hurriedly finished cleaning up and shut himself inside the house. Winter would probably arrive tomorrow or the day after.

"Kyuuuu."

"Our little pig has gotten all plump again."

He played around with Wonmo, who had practically become a ball. Wonmo played with him a few times before retreating into a corner.Read this novel at NovelPing for the best experience.

With rain falling outside and nothing else to do, it would be best to pass the time in the Gallery.

While he was at it, he ought to ask what the other regulars were doing.

Title) Kaylin came to a Chaeyu match holy shit

(Photo 1 of Kaylin watching a Chaeyu match live from the stands)

(Photo 2 of Kaylin watching a Chaeyu match live from the stands)

(Photo 3 of Kaylin watching a Chaeyu match live from the stands)

She said she was going to focus more on sports culture, and she actually came to watch it live holy shit

Does this mean we don’t have to worry about oppression anymore?

ㄴWhoa. But she really is gorgeous.

ㄴWith that presence, she might as well be the Demon King instead of a princess lol

ㄴHngh... Kaylin noona....

ㄴDon’t be fooled. She’s a monster who can blow away mountains with one flick of her hand.

ㄴStill pretty though, right?

ㄴKing Reor) I don’t know who she takes after, but she’s seriously beautiful.

ㄴPrincess Chaenggu) I heard daughters usually take after their fathers hehe

ㄴKing Reor) Looks more like she takes after her mother to me?

ㄴPrincess Chaenggu) Her mother must be beautiful too for her to be that pretty hehe

ㄴKing Reor) For once, you said something I like. But why did she go watch a Chaeyu match?

ㄴWhy are these assholes being friendly?

ㄴJust wait. They’ll be fighting soon.

ㄴKing Reor) Everything else is fine, but why did she go watch a trash team like Chaeyu?

ㄴIt’s still better than boring-as-fuck Reor hehe

ㄴYou wanna die?

ㄴSee?

ㄴLOL

ㄴThis isn’t even a temporary alliance lol

ㄴThese assholes are just better when they’re fighting lol

Title) Baby stealing Kaylin’s popcorn

(Video of a baby secretly stealing Kaylin’s popcorn)

For reference: the person beside her is a complete stranger.

ㄴIs that okay? lol

ㄴLook at Kaylin pretending not to notice lol

ㄴThat kid’s rotten from the start lol

ㄴLol, cute.

’So this is Kaylin.’

Grylls was able to see Kaylin’s face for the first time. This woman was Mephisto’s princess.

True to a member of the Demon Race, she had blue skin, horns growing from her head, and eyes filled entirely with black.

Beastfolk were unusual enough, but the Demon Race possessed appearances far more alien than those of other races.

Even so, her features themselves were beautiful, and that only made her charm stand out all the more.

Along with that, her outfit subtly revealed her voluptuous figure. Everything that needed to be covered was covered, yet it still felt suggestive.

’They did say members of the Demon Race have better figures than other races.’

Grylls quietly saved the photo. Saving pictures of beautiful women was always the right thing to do.

Afterward, he browsed through the Gallery to see whether there was any other news.

’The Central Plains are noisy in their own way... and there’s another border dispute between Alfheim and Mountain? Didn’t they say the Hero mediated last time?’

Even after mediation, they had ignored it and started up again. It did not seem like an ordinary situation.

Usually, the people of that country would know best. Grylls immediately sent the dwarf a message.

[Wild Grylls: Hey. How’s your country doing?]

[Passing Dwarf: Why my country?]

[Wild Grylls: I heard there was a border dispute even though the Hero mediated it.]

[Passing Dwarf: Oh, that? I heard they’ve already taken craftsmen away to increase steel production.]

[Wild Grylls: Are they really going to war?]

Hearing it from someone involved meant he could not take it lightly. More than anything, it was the dwarf.

He was a guy who barely cared about worldly affairs. If he was concerned to this degree, that said it all.

[Passing Dwarf: Who knows. There’s been a lot of talk about it, but I don’t know. We’ll have to watch how it goes.]

[Wild Grylls: What are you going to do?]

[Passing Dwarf: I’ve been lying low lately, actually. Think I got caught making a few things with the Mythricon hammer you gave me.]

[Wild Grylls: ;;]

[Passing Dwarf: So hand over some booze. If I wander around drunk, they won’t suspect me.]Enjoying the story? Read on at novеlping.com.

[Wild Grylls: You bastard.]

Grylls had been gradually influencing the dwarf too. He felt a little uneasy.

If the dwarf got dragged away, he would feel guilty in more ways than one.

’Should I ask Asella?’

He could ask her to protect the dwarf, at least. She was the Hero and the Orange Badge anyway, so it should not be a problem.

Even if the dwarf grew suspicious later, a few bottles of alcohol would quickly smooth things over.

[Lady Starlight: Mr. Grylls! Are you there?]

It was just as he was considering it. Lady Starlight sent him a message.

Grylls set aside his thoughts about the dwarf.

[Wild Grylls: Yes. What is it?]

[Lady Starlight: It’s just that I’m planning to perform a somewhat stronger summoning this time.]

Lady Starlight spoke in a delighted tone. In truth, she roughly understood it as well.

That it would be difficult to help him escape through summoning magic alone. Yet she did not give up.

If she could not summon him out, then she would at least learn what kind of creatures existed in the Forest of the Four Seasons.

She said that alone would be enough, and that she had also received formal permission while she was at it.

[Wild Grylls: Don’t push yourself too hard. If you get hurt, it’ll only make me sad.]

[Lady Starlight: Compared to the kindness Mr. Grylls has shown me, it’s nowhere near enough hehe]

The answer was always similar. Grylls snickered.

Well, Ash and Kadir were beside her too, so there was nothing to worry about.

’Even if some strange creature comes out, they’ll be able to handle it all.’

Thinking that, Grylls told her to please be careful.

He could not imagine anything more serious happening than the Cheese cat incident.

Lady Starlight, Selena, had steadily improved the summoning magic alongside Allfather.

Furthermore, she had recently obtained even greater authority from Asella. A full-scale summoning was now possible.

Of course, that meant shouldering all the burden and responsibility that came with it, but she did not care.

If it was something that would help Grylls, she would do anything.

"Then I’ll begin the summoning."

"Yes."

After speaking to the others, Selena conducted the summoning ritual.

To perform a stronger summoning than last time, she offered various items as sacrifices.

Starting with the Inner Core she had received from Grylls, and even minerals.

Finally, she had also established a supporting foundation so that more mana could be gathered.

’It should be fine even without the Hero here.’

Shaaaah!

At last, an intense light burst forth from the summoning magic. It was brighter than before.

Since it would be a creature inhabiting the Forest of the Four Seasons, Selena’s group did not let their guard down in the slightest.

It was not as though they had only nearly met their doom once or twice after becoming careless.

Then a faint explosion erupted from the summoning circle, and a hazy mist rose in curling wisps.

Whoooosh!

The instant the mist appeared, Ash swung her sword—still in its sheath. She did it to create wind.

As the mist cleared, what was revealed was...

"That is..."

"A bird...?"

It was something that looked remarkably like a bird. But its size was far from ordinary.

Even by a rough estimate, it appeared to be at least fifteen meters long, and it gave an overall impression of sleekness.

Furthermore, its head looked as though someone could ’ride’ atop it.

Giiiiing—

The steel bird began to make a bizarre noise.

An intense mana pulse could be felt from its rear, and Selena’s group tensed sharply.

And then...

Kwoooosh!

The strange-looking bird flew vertically, soaring high into the sky.

If it had merely soared upward, the group would have done nothing but stare blankly at it.

The problem was...

Click!

All of a sudden, a familiar, all-too-familiar ’gun barrel’ emerged from beneath that steel bird—no, that wyvern.

Drrrrrrrr!

It immediately opened indiscriminate fire on the group.
