The Hedgehog Summoner emerged from the dimensional rift between Shin So-mang and the Goblin.
The hedgehog lightly landed on the ground and looked up at the Goblin.
“Are you Missy, the assistant of Kang Geon?”
Instead of answering, the Goblin swung its arms and attacked the Hedgehog.
Ki-rik!
Doom Bar?
The Hedgehog gracefully evaded the attacks like flowing water.
Then it made a bewildered expression.
“Why are you attacking? Aren’t you Missy?”
Ki-ri-ki!!!
“Just say if you’re not!”
The Goblin attacked once, twice, thrice…
The attacks kept coming, but the Hedgehog just twerked its butt and dodged every single one.
Missy then finally got up and shouted with a trembling voice.
“I… I’m…!”
Doom Bar?
“I’m Missy…”
Doo Doom Bar?! So you’re Missy!
The Hedgehog came to a halt.
And it body headbutted the Goblin right in the stomach.
Thump!
The Goblin crashed to the ground from the impact.
“Hurry up and say so next time!”
Dada dadada.
The Hedgehog trotted over to Shin So-mang.
And it glanced back and forth between the rolling Goblin and Shin So-mang.
“You two look alike!”
“Oh, we don’t!”
“Just kidding! That one’s ugly! You’re pretty!”
“I know I’m pretty.”
“How annoying.”
“Sorry… but don’t I need to confirm if you’re really Missy?”
“What do you need to confirm? You just said you were!”
“Are you believing me without any doubt? That could be a lie.”
“Was it a lie?”
“It’s not a lie, but…”
The Hedgehog covered its mouth with its hand and chuckled softly.
Hehe. Actually, I knew from the start that you were Missy.
“Huh? How?”
“I just felt it! We feel like friends! Assistants are connected to Explorers, after all!”
“Then why did you pretend not to know at first?”
“It was a joke! Doo Doom Bar!”
“……”
It’s good that you’re not an idiot.
While Shin So-mang was thinking that…
Ki-rik…!
The Goblin got up with an angry face.
That area hit by the Hedgehog’s headbutt had no injuries at all.
It was only natural for the Goblin to be fine.
Right now, the Danger Level of the Hedgehog Summoner was S-Class.
Although it was a strong Demon King, that was just because the Summon was strong—the main body was rather weak.
Besides being max-level in evasion, the main body had nothing remarkable.
Ki-rik!!!
With a roar, the Goblin regained its balance and charged at them.
At that moment.
The Hedgehog began wiggling its hips and dancing.
Doom Bar! Doo Doom Bar!
If it were someone else, they would be thinking, “Why are you dancing at a time like this? Are you crazy?”
But Shin So-mang just watched silently.
She knew about the Hedgehog’s abilities.
The Goblin initially ignored this and kept running…
Ki, Ki-rik…
But stepping on the massive shadow cast upon the ground,
It felt an ominous energy and came to a halt.
The Goblin slowly looked up at the sky.
In front and behind, two enormous Undead Spirits glared down at the Goblin with glowing eyes.
Ki-ri-ri-k…
The Goblin’s legs started shaking.
Terrified, it looked around frantically for an escape route.
But it was already too late.
The Goblin couldn’t escape.
Ki, Ki-rik?
The Goblin’s feet left the ground, and its body floated into the air.
Moments later, it was sucked into the mouth of the Undead Spirit.
In front of the spirits, the Goblin was less than a mere bug.
Doo Doom Bar! Problem solved!
The Hedgehog Summoner crossed its arms and smiled.
“It’s not even anything and you’re being all cocky!”
“Hedgehog!”
Shin So-mang called out to the Hedgehog with a frightened face.
Hehe! How was that? Was I cool?
“W-well, you were cool but… let’s send those summons back to their original world quickly!”
Doom Bar?
“If things like that show up, people will be scared, the military will be dispatched, and everything will get super complicated!”
Shin So-mang anxiously looked back and forth at the two spirits.
The size was drastically different from what she had seen on the broadcast.
The spirits were huge, larger than any mountain.
The Hedgehog scratched its head.
It seemed that it had made things difficult for Missy.
“Okay, I’ll send them back.”
Just as those words were spoken, the two massive spirits vanished into the fog.
*
Seeing Missy’s urgent messages, I imagined a variety of scenarios.
She could’ve run into a robber.
Or maybe she was being abducted.
In any case, she seemed to be in some dangerous situation.
“Since she said Monster in the chat, could it be…”
It couldn’t be ruled out that she had encountered a monster.
Monsters don’t exist on Earth, but you never know.
Recently, there was a video believed to be of a Slime that went viral on YouTube.
I wanted to ask Missy for more details, but she had said nothing after the “Monster” message.
This silence made me more anxious.
So, I unhesitatingly used a Designated Dispatch Ticket.
Without delay, I sent the Hedgehog Summoner to Earth.
Of course, this decision might have stemmed from excessive worry.
It could’ve just been a trivial chat.
Or it could’ve been simply Missy’s prank.
But as long as Missy didn’t send another chat, I couldn’t be sure of what was going on with her, so I opted to dispatch safely.
If it wasn’t a dangerous situation, that would be a relief.
And if it was a prank, I could just laugh it off.
The important thing was the safety of my assistant, Missy.
I was willing to endure a bit of overreaction.
As long as Missy was safe, that was enough.
“Can I not worry? She’s my assistant.”
I didn’t know Missy’s face or name.
But she was my assistant.
Assistants have always been those who helped me.
Someone akin to a benefactor could be in a dangerous situation—I couldn’t help but worry.
“If there’s a designated dispatch ticket, of course, they’ll send us.”
“You don’t have to worry about the price. Rize regularly sends coins, so when I gather a lot of Designated Dispatch Tickets, I’ll send you once in a while.”
“Oh, really? Thanks!”
“Yay! Me too? Awesome!”
“Yay! Woohoo, haha!”
While I was communicating with the assistants, waiting for Missy’s chat to come up…
“Huh? What happened?”
After saying that, Pururu…

Three pictures popped up.
I clicked on each one with my finger.
