Everyone is Young Except for Me

Chapter 68

There was something called a live broadcast in Arkstar. According to my granddaughter next to me, it was possible at level 100. It was related to Yuttubi or something. In any case, it was a difficult name.

-Mido is beautiful.

-A heavenly woman.

-I love you, Choi Mido!

Where were these damn words? These bad guys were saying terrible words, especially that last one. What was their ID?

“Grandfather, look over here and wave once.”

“Like this?” I waved in the direction Mido indicated and more words showed up.

-Grandfather is handsome.

-He must’ve been popular when he was young.

-There are many superior genes in the family.

...These people knew it.

I asked Mido, “Who are these guys?”

“They are viewers watching my show.”

“Show? Bad people.”

-Father-in-law is angry.

-Stupid. He isn’t the father-in-law. He is her grandfather.

-So what should we call him?

-In fact, I don't know. Let’s just leave it as Father-in-law.

-Father-in-law!

-It is set as Father-in-law!

-Apologize using Star Candy!

[Mido Love has gifted you 500 Star Candy.]

“Thank you Mido Love for the 500 Star Candy!” Mido once again waved toward the screen.

I looked at the brilliant smile and my heart melted, but I couldn’t figure out what my granddaughter was doing this. What was Star Candy? Did I know this Star Candy?

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ has wide eyes at a new culture.]

-Mido, where are you?

-It looks like a dungeon.

-Is this the Kobold Mine?

“Correct! I’m on the second floor of the Kobold Mine. I’m giving my grandfather a bus ride. Hehet.”

-Can I meet the goddess if I go there?

“Well, I don’t care if you come but I’m a bit fast. Perhaps you won’t be able to follow me?”

-I’m going to see you now.

-The second floor of the Kobold Mine.

-I’ll get a signature if I meet Mido.

Coming here? No, it would be tiring with a lot of people...

“Haha, if you’re going to follow then follow. I got a good weapon from my guild leader oppa today. Can anyone keep up?”

Mido wielded the weapon like she was boasting.

-Wow, the options are a boss.

-Kyah. This is the class of the Icarus Guild’s leader.

-As a non-combatant painter, the items should be this good.

“Now, shall I go? Grandfather, please follow me!”

“Ahh, y-yes.” I followed her like a possessed man. I watched my granddaughter from behind and felt an unknown gap. Was this the difference between generations? I thought I was close to my granddaughter but I was still far away. Maybe Mido had grown up without my knowledge. Every time her sword danced, the familiars and helium slimes fell down. I still didn’t know much about my granddaughter. Today was the first time I ever knew that she could use a sword like this. Of course, there were many areas that were clumsy and full of gaps.

-My goddess’ swordsmanship is really good.

-She should’ve chosen a combat class, not a production class.

-The second floor is done? Go to the third floor straight away.

[Mido Jjang Jjang has gifted you 200 Star Candy.] (slang for the best)

“Thank you Mido Jjang Jjang for the Star Candy!”

I looked at my granddaughter winking at the screen and gritted my teeth. I couldn’t believe they got a wink I hadn’t received before. There were so many men after my granddaughter.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ also wants to receive Star Candy.]

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is devastated because he can’t receive Star Candy.]

I muttered in a manner that no one else could understand, “Shut up.”

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is making a grouchy expression.]

In the meantime, I had gained another level. It was a tremendous speed. I wondered what stats my granddaughter had and used Insight.

[Insight Information]

[Name: Mido Level: 151

Class: Body Painter

Heavenly Star: Monarch of True Wisdom [1]

Strength: 50 Agility: 130

Fitness: 120 Knowledge: 304

Skills:

Weapon Drawing (Heroic)

Body Painting (Heroic)

Weaknesses: She is a production class and lacks combat skills. Defense is weak.]

Her class’ name was Body Painter. It was unusual. Was it English...? Her heavenly star was Monarch of True Wisdom. In keeping with the name, her knowledge stat was high. However, her fitness and agility stats were higher than I thought?

“Mido, have you put points in agility?”

“Eh? That's right. How do you know?”

“I just noticed that you were moving quite fast.”

-Grandfather has keen eyes.

-As expected of Father-in-law!

-Others might be fooled but Grandfather’s eyes can’t be deceived.

-This is granddaughter love. National love.

“I’m a production-based class and it is also a job that supports others. I went hunting with my guild members but was too slow when following them. That’s why I raised my agility and fitness.”

I thought so. I had roughly guessed it. It was because Sujeong often couldn’t follow me when we went hunting previously. I thought it would be good to give advice to Sujeong later. Come to think of it, I hadn’t seen Sujeong lately.

-Jackson: Sujeong, are you well?

-Crystal: Oh my, Father! I should’ve contacted you first. I’m sorry.

-Jackson: No, it's fine. By the way, what are you doing?

-Crystal: I’m hunting with Andrew’s guild members.

These days, her relationship with Andrew was very close after they went through a life and death situation together. Was the guild name Nedran? In any case, she was frequently going hunting with these friends.

-Jackson: I see. I’m with my granddaughter right now.

-Crystal: Mido? The last time I saw her was as a high school student. Now she is all grown up? She’s pretty.

-Jackson: She is so beautiful that it won’t hurt even if she is put in my eyes. Keke.

-Crystal: Hoho, I'd love to see Mido too. I’ll take time to meet you later.

-Jackson: Yes. Then I’ll see you later.

-Crystal: Ah, there’s something I forgot to tell you.

-Jackson: Um? What is it? Tell me.

-Crystal:The other day, you said you were looking for the Temple of the Wind.I figured out where it is.

The Temple of the Wind? I was a bit surprised by the unexpected words. I had gained Prometheus’ memories and completely forgot about the Temple of the Wind. Then I had been so busy that I didn’t have time to think about it. If I was young then I would’ve thought about it earlier.

-Jackson: Where is it?

-Crystal: Remember the cave we saw the other day when we came to Windia?

-Jackson: Cave? That place?

-Crystal: Yes, it is the Temple of the Wind. But... there is a problem.

I could vaguely guess the problem. I remembered the conversation I overheard at that time. The word monster strongly came to my mind.

-Jackson: Then that monster...?

-Crystal: You already know?

-Jackson: No, I just guessed.

-Crystal: It is a monster called Minotaur. Fire covers its entire body and it is a nemesis for the people of the wind here. Dorothy told me about it.

Dorothy’s face instantly popped up. Sujeong and I had both met her. However, this wasn’t the problem.

Minotaur...

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is frowning.]

It seemed that the situation was a bit complicated. In Prometheus’ memories, Minotaur was the child of one of the seven constellations who were traitors in the past. The blood of the constellations was generally strong. Damn, why was this monster there? Even if things had to become twisted, this was too twisted.

At this time, Mido approached with a smile. “Grandfather! Here are some ingredients! Use it when cooking!”

[Familiar Meat has been acquired. x124]

[Helium Slime Core has been acquired. x209]

“T-Thank you.”

“No, please make something delicious with it later! Understood?”

“Yes, I have to do it. I’ll do it.”

-Our goddess is doing the filial bus properly.

-Grandfather, live long and healthy.

-She is an angel who came down from heaven.

[Mido Angel has gifted you with 1,004 Star Candy.]

* * *

Before she knew it, they had broken through the second floor. Mido took her grandfather up to the third floor. From the third floor onward, there were monsters that were difficult to face. The name was changed to Abandoned Mine and it gave off an eerie feeling.

“It’s finally the last floor.”

-The monsters here are level 100 or higher.

-They have a lot of stamina and are like quasi-bosses.

-I’m sure our goddess will do well.

Mido used Body Painting on herself again.

-Kyah. Isn’t our goddess’ painting at the level of Picasso?

-Kueh, it doesn’t matter if she can’t draw! Pretty!

-Beauty resolves everything.

“I draw well! Bah!” She looked at the screen with a pouting expression.

The viewers were busy gifting her with Star Candy. At this moment—

Thump! She heard the loud sound of something approaching. Mido moved in front of her grandfather. “Grandfather, you have to be careful from now on. They are strong monsters. Hide well.”

“Yes, I know.” Her grandfather hid behind a nearby rock.

Soon, a giant with a sky blue body appeared. The giant's head was covered with a helmet.

[Lv. 129 Colossus]

‘Phew, I’m nervous.’

Mido fought with the colossus. It was a monster with more than 100,000 health. It was a huge amount considering that the monsters on the second floor only had an average of 30,000 health.

“Hiyah!” Mido’s sword cut through the colossus’ leg. Maybe it was because the swordsmanship was good but it was quite a big blow. A considerable amount of the enemy’s health was lost with one strike. However, the colossus didn’t stay still either. It stomped like it was trying to kill an ant at its feet. It caused an earthquake each time it kicked out. Every time, the mine shook like it would collapse.

The colossus roared. “Kulalala!”

“Groan. It is definitely different from the second floor.”

-The colossus is a bad guy.

-Don’t hit our goddess.

-Kill that guy instantly.

“Everyone, don’t worry. I’m still not tired.” Mido once again attacked the colossus. She slashed its legs, dodged its fists, and slashed its arms. Its health was decreased by half and she was eventually able to kill the colossus. “That’s it!”

She smiled and turned her head toward her grandfather. She wanted to hear compliments that she had done well but she couldn’t.

‘What is that?’

She could feel the stones on the ground bouncing. She saw a group of monsters running from the deep inner cave that was like an abyss.

[Lv. 109 Chicken Warrior]

[Lv. 107 Banshee]

[Lv. 126 Colossus]

[Lv. 105 Twin Skulls]

[Lv. 110 Gremlin]

...

...

“What? It wasn’t like this when I came the other day?”

The reason was quickly apparent.

-Mido, my friend said that if you don’t hunt the colossus quickly, the sound of the earthquake will be heard and more monsters will flock.

“Ahh, I see...”

It was a mistake in her judgment. She had come here the other day but wasn’t in a position to know about it. It was because her guild brothers flocked as a group and swept the colossus away.

The monsters rushed in. A giant chicken walking around on two feet attacked with a sword. The skeleton, gremlin, and colossus all focused their attacks on her. It was hard to fight against a group when she didn’t often use a sword. Her health decreased.

[You have received a critical hit.]

“Ack!” She was unable to avoid the colossus’ kick and flew into a wall.

The monsters surrounded her and some turned toward the rocks where her grandfather was hiding. Then a ghost banshee attacked her grandfather with sharp nails. “Grandfather!”

“Don’t worry! Even if I die, I’ll be resurrected in the village!”

Her grandfather led the banshee away somewhere. After a while...

[Party member Jackson has left the party.]

“No!”

-Grandfather died ??

-No ?? Don’t bully the goddess.

-Ahh, this can’t be.

The viewers expressed the feelings that were stuck in Mido’s chest. She brought him here with the confidence that she could protect him and things turned out like this. She started crying.

‘Sob. Grandfather, I’m sorry.’

Suddenly, a huge pillar of fire surged up. The monsters couldn’t avoid the sudden fire and danced among the flames. There were all types of screams and the monsters were cleaned up in an instant. A man wearing a wolf mask stood in front of her.

‘This person...?’

[The user ‘?????’ has applied for a party.]

[1] I did double check this with the heavenly star condition for the weapon and both translations are correct. So I don’t know if it was an author error or if she can use the sword for another reason despite having a different heavenly star
