Many guilds were challenging the drake raid while Hyeonu was riding in the carriage and killing time . The challenge order was according to the same rules so far, and the guilds failed as many challenges as they attempted . However, this time they shared information with each other .
It was because they had an overwhelming common rival—Alley Leader . He was so overwhelming that he acted as a bus to the East Continent for his favorite guilds and the users he was friendly with . Therefore, a temporary alliance emerged between the guilds when they concluded they couldn’t kill the drake by challenging it alone .
“Kuooh!” The drake let out a cry full of despair .
It intuitively sensed its impending death . The drake attempted a final hurrah, but it was too late . It couldn’t struggle with the little energy it had left .
Thump! The drake soon collapsed . An alliance of three guilds and 100 rankers succeeded in the drake raid . Then the masters of the three guilds reached the monument and smashed it . It was an action that could be done because they had seen it in Alley Leader’s stream .
“Did you smash the monument?” Johannes appeared there . Then he raised his head and looked around like he was looking for someone . Nevertheless, the masters didn’t care about this . No, they couldn’t care . They were busy rejoicing that they could finally go to the East Continent .
“I will give you the authority to go to the East Continent . ” Johannes disappeared with a pleasant smile .
“I will proceed forward . What about you?” One man spoke to the other two .
He was ready to leave, and his guild members were already waiting before him .
“We will replenish our depleted potions . ”
“It is the same for us . We hope you have a good performance in the East Continent . ”
The identities of the three guilds were Venom, Five Stars, and Zenith respectively . Venom left first while Five Stars and Zenith took a break .

Alley Leader’s surprise stream was a delightful gift to many viewers . Of course, there were some people who thought differently .
‘Why is he streaming? Why?’
One of them was Sunny, who was shaking as she watched Hyeonu’s stream . She was full of anxiety about when he might call her name .
‘Yes, this is a surprise stream . He isn’t going to announce anyone’s name . Look at the number of viewers . It is more than usual . . . Huh?’
Sunny tried to reassure herself .
He wouldn’t announce it if there wasn’t a certain number of viewers . After all, Alley Leader should have a very high standard . This was what she believed .
“Why are there so many people?!!!”
That belief was shattered in three seconds . The stream had started without any warning, yet the number of viewers had already surpassed two million . Sunny casually ignored the numbers she didn’t dare look at .
‘What should I do? I’m not ready yet . . . How can I stream today?’
She was forced to watch Hyeonu’s stream anxiously . The voice of someone saying that he was changing the order kept whispering in Sunny’s ears .
‘However, this is Sunny’s choice . . . choice . . . choice . . . ’

“Then I’ll end the streaming now . It was a stream that was turned on without any notice . I thank everyone for coming,” Hyeonu spoke as he leaned against the seat in the carriage .
Of course, even his polite words weren’t properly conveyed .
-I don’t agree .
-Isn’t this posture too slouched?
-Even if you aren’t polite, you should maintain the ordinary standards .
-Insolent . Too insolent .
Unsurprisingly, the viewers pointed out Hyeonu’s improper posture . However, Hyeonu had a reason to refute it . “I also don’t want to show this attitude to you at the end, but as you can see, in my arms . . . ”
Hyeonu removed the garment that was half covering his body . He was holding something with golden fur . Tang-E had returned to his original bear form and was sleeping in Hyeonu’s arms .
-No! I don’t like this the most!!!
-Why don’t you show Tang-E?!
-Why is Tang-E sleeping in the arms of such a vicious villain?
-Come here, Tang-E . Hahaha . . .
The eyes of the viewers trembled as they watched Tang-E . The tremors quickly increased in intensity . This was because Hyeonu hid Tang-E back under his clothes .
“Our Tang-E is sleeping . I look forward to seeing you in the next stream . ”
Hyeonu ended the stream before viewers could say anything . After that, he closed the open window of the carriage .
‘It has been good so far thanks to the stream . . . ’
Nonetheless, there was still a long distance left, and there was nothing to do . No, there was work to be done . It just couldn’t be done in the carriage .
‘I just have to sleep . ’
Hyeonu struggled with his thoughts for a while before leaning back in the seat . Tang-E, who was resting against Hyeonu’s chest, was hot .
***
The carriage was still for a long time . It was Tang-E who broke the stillness, twitching from where he was lying on Hyeonu . Tang-E removed the clothes that covered him and moved to the seat on the other side .
“I have woken up, so shouldn’t I eat?” Tang-E said while placing his paw on his chest, which was dyed red .
Then a piece of meat that boasted an appetizing appearance showed up in Tang-E’s paw . It was a giant chicken leg, which had been cooked in Taeyang—the capital of the Yuxin Empire . Tang-E ate it with no hesitation despite it being similar in size to his entire forearm .
The surprising thing was that he didn’t make any sounds despite eating so roughly . Tang-E stared at the still sleeping Hyeonu and quickly ate the chicken leg .
‘I have to share it if Master dude wakes up .
“Umm . . . ” The sleeping Hyeonu moved at this moment . Tang-E flinched when he saw that and quickly placed the cooked chicken leg to his chest, hiding it in his Subspace . Hyeonu didn’t wake up though . He just changed his sleeping posture .
“Phew . . . Have a good sleep, damn Master dude . ” Tang-E lost his nervousness and once again took out the chicken leg to eat . Just then, Hyeonu opened his eyes .
“Tang-E, are you going to eat alone?” He sat up while speaking to Tang-E .
“Uhhhh!!!” Tang-E was shocked to see Hyeonu suddenly wake up, and he unwittingly threw the chicken leg into the air . It showed his desire to hide it before Hyeonu saw it .
“Is this delicious? You were eating this alone while I was sleeping?”
The chicken leg landed in Hyeonu’s right hand, and he took a bite of it . In the meantime, his gaze didn’t leave Tang-E .
“No, it just happened . I was hungry, yes, I was so hungry that I started eating . However, Master looked to be sleeping so well that I couldn’t wake you up,” Tang-E made excuses as he watched Hyeonu .
Actually, there was no reason for him to make excuses . In fact, Tang-E had done nothing wrong . Hyeonu had been asleep when Tang-E was hungry, so it wasn’t something to apologize for . Still, Tang-E just made these excuses because he felt a bit sorry .
“Tell me if you are hungry . It seems like I had a pretty long sleep . . . Just look,” Hyeonu said, gesturing at how the outside of the carriage was still bright . It had also been bright when Hyeonu was streaming, so it meant that a day had passed .
‘I slept so well that it couldn’t be just an hour or two . ’
Hyeonu started to pull food out of his inventory . It didn’t matter to Hyeonu, but Tang-E was different . Tang-E had to eat when he was hungry . Hyeonu filled the table with meat . It was a table only for Tang-E .
“Eat slowly . By the way, can you use chopsticks in that state?” Hyeonu asked . He looked at Tang-E in a puzzled manner, and Tang-E shook his head .
“I’ll eat it on my own . What are you doing? Aren’t you eating? Master should eat first . ” Tang-E invited Hyeonu to eat first .
Hyeonu smiled and ate a piece of meat . “You eat too . ”
Tang-E smiled brightly . The carriage trip deepened the relationship between the two of them .

Eventually, Hyeonu chose to get off at a city in the middle of the journey before reaching Linakalu .
“Thank you for using our service . This is currently a city near Linakalu called ‘Caronney . ’ If you bring your ticket there within six days, then you can get to Linakalu . ” The coachman returned the four tickets he had received from Hyeonu .
“I understand,” Hyeonu said .
After receiving the tickets, he grabbed Tang-E’s hand and walked out of the place that was filled with many carriages . Hyeonu’s decision to get off at Caronney was simple . He was bored . After spending an hour or two seeing the good scenery and another hour or two eating, he was tired of it and eventually got off before reaching Linakalu .
“It is a nice day here as well . Warm . . . ” Hyeonu remarked .
Caronney felt like Southeast Asia . The weather was warm, and there were clear skies with no clouds . It was like a typical holiday destination .
‘I guess it’s nearby . Did I get off for no reason?’
Hyeonu felt regretful for a moment . Then he saw Tang-E’s good expression, and the feeling disappeared .
‘I should figure out what is in Caronney . . . ’
If there was no information, then it was best to fill up his belly . Clearly, he wouldn’t achieve anything by just thinking about it . That was just a waste of time .
“Tang-E, let’s go eat . ”
Hyeonu wandered around Caronney like a mouse . There was a crisis with Tang-E frowning in the middle, but Hyeonu relieved this dissatisfaction by picking Tang-E up . Finally, Hyeonu entered a store after a lot of effort . He had his own standards for selecting a place .
‘A store that seems to have a friendly employee or a store that has an employee good at sales . ’
Both meant the same thing . He found a place with an NPC who seemed like they might give Hyeonu information on Caronney .
“Welcome! Is it just the two of you?” The staff in the store was very friendly as if confirming that Hyeonu’s choice was correct .
‘Okay . So far it is good . ’
Hyeonu was happy and replied to the employee’s question, “Yes, two people . ”
After hearing Hyeonu’s answer, the employee guided Hyeonu and Tang-E to a window seat with a good view . There was already a menu book in place on the table .
“Please choose the dishes to order, and call for me again . ” The employee then turned around and headed to his original position .
“Tang-E, what do you want to eat?” Hyeonu asked Tang-E .
“I’ll think about it for a moment . Give it to me first,” Tang-E spoke resolutely and received the menu from Hyeonu .
Then he started to think while pointing to all types of dishes . Hyeonu was dumbfounded at Tang-E’s appearance . Tang-E’s mind was filled with, ‘Grilled pork, stir-fried beef, meat, meat, meat . . . ’
It was an endless feast of meat .
