Chapter 63

Night of Day 12 since entering the gnome's warren; The Demon Realm

Sunghee pulls me over to her while Fox is taking a nap, tugging at my sleeve. I still think we have several hours before it would become day time in the other world. I am trying to gesture for her to not wake her up and not doing anything risky, but she ignores my hand gestures.

"You are right to let her take a nap," Sunghee says smiling wickedly. She is patting my shoulder affectionately.

"You think so?" I'm curious what she thinks. We keep our voices low. Her eyes are shining brightly.

"Heck yeah! And she worked hard to help save us!" she winks. She's leaning in really close.

But her eyes are really fixated on me. It's really weird.

"Why?" I asked.

"Why not silly!" her eyes are glistening with mischief.

"So help me figure out this thing. She says I have access to the grimoire magic system. But I don't even read Egyptian. So in the end I'm stuck again just like before and like always," I said.

"Yeah, but I do read Egyptian," Sunghee says, her eyes twinkling.

"And I can help you, if you help me," she smiled big while leaning close to me. She almost kissed me just then but pulled back.

My heart beat rhythm just jumped up a notch as I thought about what she'd just said. I force myself to calm a bit. If I try to go to fast or get desperate it will probably ruin things.

First find out what she is and her background. Then go from there.

"Eh? So how do you know your job and whatever it is?" I asked. "Come to think of it, what is your job?"

"You want to know about the job system in this world?" she asked.

"Of course!"

"I have 'Adventurer' as a job, plus I have an adventurer license. Just one wasn't enough, I found out I needed both. But there's a way you can pull it up," she said. She had a strange charming look on her face.

So are adventurers like the cowboys or mercenaries and soldiers of this world?

How did she pull it off? It must have taken a really long time for her to learn how to read Egyptian. I wonder how long it took.

"There is? But we tried that already. We tried saying status, skills, show me status, show me job. For many hours we tried everything we could think of! We tried everything already!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah but you didn't say it in Egyptian or an 'ancient code' equivalent," she chuckled.

"It figures...I had wondered about that actually but it's not like we had anyone with us to teach us how to speak Egyptian with no Egyptian classes or teachers available. So what happens if you do that? Can you show me?" I asked.

"You know, that's really weird because when my school crashed here, we had a few people with the language magic. They started teaching people the basic phrases to open and close stuff in the magic windows immediately," she said.

Suddenly I realized the trap. Someone had been purposely cutting me out!

"Damn Yuta. So he could have helped people at any time," I cursed.

She says something weird and suddenly the blue screen pops up hanging in mid air. It's my first time seeing that someone can do it on their own without help. I can see on the screen what looks like a computer image of Sunghee, the way she's dressed now. It has symbols for other stats too.
