ACT 2 Take control of the raccoons

Right? Right? Foreigner?

Ark gave an awkward smile and nodded. The raccoon boy excitedly beat the ground with his tail.

I see! Wow Ive never seen a foreigner before.

Ark had also never seen a talking raccoon.

But you?

Im from a raccoon warrior clan, Popo

Popo proudly replied. Well he looked more like a big, warm friendly mascot than a warrior, but Ark nodded anyway.

Raccoon clan.Ark realised that they were the residents of the Underground World.

Needless to say, he had been very tense and imagined them as a violent group of Beasts. However, what he ultimately found was a chubby raccoon. He felt vaguely disappointed, even though one of his objectives was to find the Beast residents.

I am Ark.

Eung, youre called Ark.

Popo nodded with an excited look.

In fact, I really like the foreigners.

What? Youve seen foreigners other than me?

No, never. But I speak to a lot of adults. The foreigners are not content to live in one place and travel around the continent fighting against a large number of monsters. It is really great! It sounds like a manly life! One day I want to live just like that. Unlike the other adults in this place, Im not going to hide down here my entire life.

Popo sounded like a countryman who wanted to visit Seoul.

Arc-hyung too? Did you enter the Underground world to track down that tree monster?

That could be a possibility.

I knew it.

Ark roughly nodded. Of course, Arks purpose was not only to fight monsters. The most important thing was to find the Three Marvels as well as a way outside. However, even if he told such an important thing to Popo, the little raccoon was unlikely to be much help.

I must find the village of raccoons in order to collect information.

So Ark thought that he would ask Popo to guide him to the village.

Popo struggled for a short time before nodding his head.

Ok, Ill show you. But if other people catch you it could be dangerous.

What? Why?

That.Ill gradually tell you. Once you wear this.

Popo passed him clothes made of woven twigs.

It was a cloak with a hood and other similar forms of clothing.

When Ark wore the woven clothes, Popo immediately shoved grass into his lower back. With his face hidden by a hood and a plump stomach, at first glance he could be mistaken for a raccoon.

The disguised Ark followed Popo out of the cave. After 10 minutes had passed, Popo pointed in front of him and said.

Heres our town

It was a large underground space.

Enormous torches were placed in many areas around the cavern with NPCs crowded around it.

They were all beasts, with their appearance resembling a raccoon, therefore a raccoon clan.

The village of raccoons was rustic, unlike the mermaids who preferred flashy splendour.

Scattered around the rock walls were raccoon houses nestled in caves. Most of the caves were of considerable size however there were no colourful decorations.

On the other hand, the market was large enough to account for more than half of the village. There was a large range of workshops and shops line up on both sides of the market.

Ark remembered what he heard from the Meow Elder Hassan.

Which reminds me, didnt the beasts of the Underground World have good craftsmanship? Where would he see the rest of it?

Ark curiously glanced at items displayed in front of workshops.

Just like in Nodelesse, the items crafted by the raccoon clan were made of materials he had never seen before. The high performance design and craftsmanship was worthy of its name.
