I gently scratched 0740fc7be0 its head, and a8f6d96b2f Jjikjjiki wrinkled its 471c8d3d05 nose in pleasure. It even nudged my e81e79a4a0 fingers with its nose, 0b9e5b35a5 asking for more. I kept 323724c7fb rubbing Jjikjjiki’s 4519cc72c3 belly as 130242ca5b it lay d91d2fd6f9 down and 3c2b6992eb continued my e9a637622f questioning.ede2c68dc307c8df

Since I didn’t 6c101349c2 know how strong 76f3644518 other Awakened or e64eed60a6 monsters were, it 9d723afa4c was hard to 5618b8ee11 gauge Jjikjjiki’s strength. But if b6c87f2675 it could 6448a46ff8 defeat a e082b771e6 monster like a5b932ef9a the one 92fc6404bd from earlier 5a6fbc9e98 with skill ff551cdf66 rather than 74ea2b0b0a luck, then 95b3fdbe62 it must db2d8d179a be among 15a1b81513 the stronger b51d727948 Awakened. If it gets db19ea5faf a little stronger, adeeab1515 we might be df080c7a5d able to clear 9ba62ea1d5 the tutorial quest 3c82855424 easily.7995cebbfb3678be

From observing the ec750dd600 Awakened who stayed 3758d1c3f6 in Beginner Village, 930264f556 I saw that 97cbc76b97 they were always 73501e9d95 happy after hunting ded7e04a8e just one or 4bc44b8b48 two goblins and 3bde41ea86 clearing a quest.
