You Didn’t Tell Me the Start of My Transmigration Was a Gate - Chapter 14

As I watched as they laughed and chatted, I thought it was time to reveal ourselves. At the moment when I was about to turn my head and signal the others to move forward, I could hear a quick breath drawn right beside me.

“Gasp…!”

At the same time, the sound of something roughly piercing through the air rang out. Shreck

-Tack!

I grabbed it with my reflexes, and saw that it was an arrow.

What?

“Wow, she caught the arrow.”

“It’s your abilities that are lacking, dumbass.”

“Both our abilities are similar, alright?”

They did not look as cute now that they bickered at each other. Ah, I had forgotten. The twins were not only famous for their abilities.

“I took a shot since they were peeking at us. I didn’t know they were actually humans!”

“Aigoo*, it was my mistake!”

*T/N: Aigoo here can be used similarly to ‘Oh dear.’

It was despicable to see them rap their foreheads as if they were unaware.

I had forgotten that the twins were famous for their temperament as well.

Kwon Min-Sung asked if I was alright, I replied that I was okay. I must not flare up here. We were indeed uninvited guests, and we sought permission to be allowed into that fortress-like building. He seemed to have the same thoughts as he did not argue further but stayed quiet. Foreboding tension filled the air. Dozens of pairs of eyes focused on the twins, yet they seemed indifferent about it.

“Aish, those kiddos!”

The tension was immediately shattered as a middle-aged man appeared out of the blue and hit the twins on their heads. Thud. As I could hear it over here, he did strike them quite hard. The twins cried out while they held their heads.

“I apologize for their misbehavior. I’m really sorry. Those kids, they’ve been spoiled too much.”

The middle-aged man bowed his head apologetically. At his action, the twins asked why he had to apologize and do that, since we also peeked at them, and threw a huge fuss about it. The middle-aged man ignored all of the fuss and approached us.

“All of you are survivors, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.” Kwon Sung-Min stepped out as the group leader.

“Where did you come from?”

“Over there, the H – Mart in the next building.”

“All the way from over there? You must have had quite a tough journey…”

The man looked surprised. True, they had only gotten out this far, even with items allocated to their members.

“We were lucky. We brought along food supplies and other daily necessities when we left H Mart… Can I possibly meet the person in charge of the sports stadium?”

“That’s easy. We’ve just ended our hunts as well.”

The man turned around and shouted over to the twins. “Kiddos! Why don’t you clear up quickly?”

“Eh? Aren’t you resting?”

“Respect the elders, kid.”

The kids moved fast and started to clear up the furry bug’s corpse. Soil was used to cover up the monster’s body fluids and blood as much as possible to prevent other monsters from being attracted to it, and they even started to remove the monster’s useless body parts. Its antennas, the outer skin of its legs, fur, etc. Their skilled hands were quick and stable.

“Because this area is near their hideout. They’ve become skilled at it.”

“I see…”

“They might look revolting, but if you gut them out and grill, they taste like normal prawns.” Kim Tae-Byeong gagged as he was disgusted at the thought of eating monster meat. As I have said before, his mind was too weak to be a top tier tank.

“Uncle, we’re all done!”

“Alright, remember to collect everything else and hurry back~.”

“Ah, seriously! This is totally an abuse of minors! I’m going to report you to the Ministry of Employment and Labor!”

“Sure, go ahead~.”

Though the middle-aged man was immature, it wasn’t to the extent of distasteful. It was a light-hearted conversation that I haven’t heard in a while. Kwon Sung-Min, too, was mesmerized by the exchange for a bit. It was the same for the group of people behind us.

Freedom, jokes, and pranks… It was a luxury that was only allowed when there was abundance. Since we haven’t been allowed such luxury up until now…

“Anyway, follow us. There are strict instructions to accept survivors for now.”
