[ extermination, open. @goldvale woods, platmoor. ]

[ Before the mission, at Platmoor's side entrance...

It is Nuri's first ever mission in Goldvale. Days has passed since the great battle at PangYa Island, but the lingering sensation of that fight still lingers throughout his hands. It's making him a little numb, admittedly nervous, although he is doing his best not to let it affect him. Prior to living in PangYa Island, all of his experiences in a fight were merely sparring in a dojang.

It's been a challenging ride in PangYa Island. But this world, Reis Alurelia, feels so much bigger. Nuri knows well that he can't be pampered anymore, with no one here to hold his hand or guide him at every step like what Pipin previously did for him. That's why he determinedly huffs to himself, attempting to put on a bolder expression. ]

I... I can do this! I'm sure that I can. I have to be strong, so I wouldn't worry Hana and the others even if I'm here...

[ Huff huff!! After the moment of self-encouragement, Nuri proceeds to take a big step towards the forest. ... Not really for long, though. He collects air within his round cheeks, and turns around afterwards. It's then that he starts rummaging through his tiny backpack after swiftly taking it off. ]

Oh!! I have to make sure that I'm ready first.

[ ossidia's request, closed. @various. but primarily castle dyspros, nickelhollow, and platmoor. ]

[ Speaking of first missions, here is another. Again, it's Nuri's first time to be teamed up with others neither from his homeland nor PangYa Island. Looking much like a student excited for a field trip, Nuri keeps beaming at his two assigned teammates.

At the moment, they're right outside of Castle Dyspros, preparing before they once again enter. ]

Ehehe. Isn't this exciting? [ ♪ ] The previous mission was hard by myself, but I'm sure that it'll be better this time!

Nuri-chan!

[ It was if all the events in front of him were happening in slow motion. He could see the smaller boy avoid the attack, how he soon lost balance, and the advance from the monster coming towards him. With wide eyes and the force of his adrenaline finally kicking in, Yogi pushes himself against the ground and straight towards the monster whom was about to make contact with his friend.

The space distancing himself from their foe was not large, and Yogi was able to fill in the space between the two before the monster got any closer. With this, his blade then extended once more, causing a powerful surge to be thrown from his blade.

The impact was successful, and within the burst of light was able to cause the monster to stagger backwards. Almost copying Nuri in the tumble to the ground.

With the small moment of reprieve, the boy then turned to other on the ground as he attempted to help him stand. ]

A-are you alright? You didn't get hurt, did you!?

[softie]

No... I was just surprised. I'm okay.

[Nuri could smile, because Yogi once again displayed such impressive feats. Not only physically strong, but quick on his feet... And such a nice natural reflex, too. He can witness the experience that this young man certainly has.

To not allow Yogi to worry, Nuri stands all by himself and dusts himself off a little. But there's another reason to smile, because the slime monster has reached its last life. After that blow, it can no longer get up, and soon just melts into a defeated position.]

Look, I think it's dead now.

[mascots]

Uwaaah... what a relief! I was really worried for a moment.

[ Suddenly overwhelmed with emotion, the blond drives towards Nuri and captures him in a tight embrace. He squeezes lightly at first, cheeks rubbing up against one another. It doesn't last long however when the mention of the monster came back into mind. ]

Huh? It did? [ A blink, followed by the turning of his attention to what remained of the monster. Sure enough, the corpse was slowly disappearing and in its wake a shimmer of something left behind. Could that be...? ] Ah-!

[ Moving towards the item and examining it, a wide smile falls across Yogi's face. ] It's here, we got it! We got the eyes we needed, Nuri-chan!

[softie]

That tickles...

[Despite his huggable small size, Nuri actually is barely embraced by anyone. The only people that actually embraces him are his parents, and Arin time to time. His friends are either too shy, too tsundere, or too formal for hugs.

Of course, Nuri treasures the rare times that he receives one. Doesn't make it any less embarrassing though, so he can't help the light flushing on his face.]

[softie]

[ ...! ] [Except. That doesn't really last long. The red color from his face quickly fades out, instantly replaced by a paler color as the disgusting piece of slime eye stares right at them... It's dead, it's surely dead, but the details of those eyes could say otherwise.]

Ngh...

[mascots]

[ Ah... maybe it wasn't the best idea to show Nuri the item.

Noticing the almost instant change on his face, Yogi is quick to recognize what is going on and puts the item away as fast as he could. ]

Ah... aha, well that wasn't too hard, was it? You did a really great job!

But uh, you look a little pale. Did it scare you?

[softie]

W-Who's scared! I was just surprised!

[... Says the boy with trembling knees. It's subtle, but it's there. If Yogi can put it altogether, the truth can be seen. Nuri's lack of combat experience might get overwhelmed if he stays in here for too long.]

[mascots]

[ Yogi might be a little dense sometimes, but when it comes to worrying about others, he's most likely the first to jump all over it.

... Which is exactly what he's doing now as he approaches once again, a look of concern crossing his face. ]

Are you sure? It's alright if you're scared, I get scared all the time! [ As if to indicate this, Yogi's arms are folded inward and his body begins to rock. ]

There are a few more monsters on the list, huh? That's no good...
