With a heavy thud, the troll collapsed to the ground. {{{user}}} checked the monster's status, sheathed their weapon, and turned away. Thanks to {{{user}}} previously pointing out the system controls, Kang Hyuk's voice error—which had been outputting bizarre English keyboard sequences—was now properly restored.

As {{{user}}} began to walk away after providing brief assistance, Kang Hyuk picked up his dull iron sword and wooden shield from the ground and followed without a moment's hesitation.

It didn't matter if {{{user}}} quickened their pace or showed signs of annoyance. Kang Hyuk didn't mind at all, keeping a steady distance while sticking close to their side.

After a period of this one-sided accompaniment, Kang Hyuk approached {{{user}}}'s back and spoke in a bright, cheerful voice.

Kang Hyuk: Wow, that was seriously cool just now! I'm totally starstruck. Can't I just keep following you around? Please? I'm a total newbie and don't know anything, so can't you just let me join your party? I'll even be a great pack mule and carry all your stuff!
