Chapter 40 – Promise (3)

* * *

6th floor dungeon.

A monster with bizarrely long limbs swung its arms.

Seeing that scene, Raize let out a giggle and groan, frightened. The existence that caused fear in the dark did not become less fearful even if there was light.

It cuts off the flying arm by bending it with a trajectory that cannot be thought of as a living thing.

Luckily, it wasn’t a monster that was difficult to deal with except for its bizarre appearance and extremely unpredictable attack trajectory.

‘It was a headache when I couldn’t see.’

An attack that flies in an unthinkable trajectory from 5 meters out of sight in the dark.

The attack, sharper than a blade and blunter than a blunt weapon, could easily cut a single person in two.

Now that the darkness of the dungeon is gone? It was just a grotesque monster. Even an attack with a strange orbit can be slashed if it can be seen.

“…… Alternately, why do all monsters look like that?”

“Yes, it evolved to attack humans in the dark. It’s the same as being an ugly deep sea fish.”

“Is it deep? What is that?”

“Don’t you know the fish that live in the depths of the sea?”

“Ocean…? Have you seen it?”

At those words, I realized that this is a different world. That it is a medieval fantasy where most people live their entire lives without leaving the territory where I live, let alone travel to the sea.

“Yes.”

“How? It’s inland here, so it’s hard to see the sea even if you’re a king or a noble.”

“My hometown is near the sea.”

“Okay?”

“Yes.”

“I want to go there someday. Can you take me?”

Raize showed great interest in my hometown. Unfortunately, however, the hometown was in a place that could not be reached again.

“Sorry. I can’t go anywhere anymore.”

“Okay? Then there is nothing you can do.”

But it wasn’t that there was no way at all. Dungeon. It was confirmed that this underground cave with an unknown power distorts even space.

After clearing the dungeon, maybe you can return to Earth. I thought so.

Today was the last weekday of the week. So Friday.
The temporary party with Rize lasted a week, and of course, the weekend was not included.

“Even when I went to another party, I only remember what I did. Then one person will do it without any problems.”

“…… Can’t I continue with you?”

“Why is this, didn’t we just plan to be together for a week from the beginning? And I’m not supposed to be hanging out on the 5th or 6th floor like this.”

At those words, Raize shut his mouth. Hey, Do-jin was a level 2 adventurer, and she was a level 1, a beginner among beginners who had just started entering and exiting dungeons.

Even if she forced herself to be with Do-jin, it was clear to her that in the end she would only hold him by the ankles.

“If the…… When I reach level 2 and become an advanced adventurer like you. Will you accept it then?”

“Okay, I’ll accept it when the time comes. You must be able to do it.”

Dojin stroked Raise’s head as he said that. It was an adult’s job to be a milestone for a child.

Of course, she still didn’t like Do-jin, who treated her as a child, but at the same time…… She has so much to gain by acting like a child, she hasn’t revealed the truth yet.

“Goodbye.”

“…… See ya.”

“Someday.”

After breaking up with Raize, Dojin headed for the mansion. After changing clothes at the mansion, she headed to the meeting place with Ilonewa.

When she arrived at the rendezvous, she was watching the sun go down when someone tapped her on the shoulder.

Woo-wook, her fingers dig into her cheeks. The other person burst out laughing as if it was fun being caught in a prank.

Ilone tilted her upper body and pushed her chest out as if to seduce her Dojin.

“Did you wait long?”

“No, I came right away…….”

She is something she sees in a week, so she may have decorated it as a date in her own way, she had a pretty beautiful figure.

Her brown hair, which had been a bit frizzy from her lack of maintenance, was shiny and slightly wavy.

Her mini dress, which clung tightly to her body, passed her chest, revealing her firm belly, her firm thighs and calves.

“Uh, how are you?”

It was her first time dressing up like this, and her hair was twisted with her slightly flushed face.

Do-jin spread her thumb out to her and told her that she was the best. In fact, it was an erotic figure that made me want to fuck her with clothes on right now.

“Okay? Hehe, that’s what I mean.”

Hearing her words, her excited woman drooled and tried to get excited, so her Do-jin quickly calmed her down and held out her hand.

“May I escort you? Sister?”

“…… I will leave it up to you.”

Ilone felt her heart pounding at her attitude like a knight treating a princess. It was the first time since she was three years old that she had been treated like a woman by hers in this way.

Considering that even that had been received by her half-heartedly from her family, there was no man who treated her like this with her sincerity.

‘Although there were men who were interested in my body.’

A body that has been trained to the limit so that there is no opponent to compete with even within the guards. There were often people who coveted her artistic body.

It was because the slim body without any flab seemed so coveted to the male.

However, Do-jin did not look at her that way. Rather, she was on your side to look at her opponent with those eyes.

‘I wonder if I can do it today too.’

For that purpose only, she did her hair at the salon she didn’t go to, got her makeup done, and prepared clothes and underwear as items to seduce men.

She was a man who loved her enough in her everyday clothes, but because of her past, her woman wants to look more beautiful to her man.

With Dojin escorting her, Ilone walked around the city. A chilling wind blew under her skirt, and a feeling of shame welled up involuntarily when the eyes of others were directed at her shapely legs.

However, attracting others’ attention at the same time leads to recovery of self-esteem as a woman. As her self-esteem goes up, her confidence goes up as well.

I glanced at Dojin. Her do-jin was stealthily turning her eyes to peek at her legs or her breasts so as not to be noticed by her.

You don’t even need to peek, because this body and mind are already his.

It feels very cute. Are you showing off your younger charm now? Even if you don’t, I’m in love with you.

“Do Jin-ah.”

“Yes?”

“Why are you so cute? My baby.”

Ilone pinched Dojin’s cheek and said. She pinched it to the point that it hurt slightly, so she quickly dyed Dojin’s cheeks red…….

Do-jin enjoyed this moment with her. Because that was manners and courtesy towards women.

“Here… The atmosphere is really nice.”

“Because it’s that expensive.”

“…… How much is it? When burdened, I will.”

“It’s probably about two months’ salary.”

“Well, if I break the savings account, somehow…….”

While Ilone was trembling as he recalled the savings in his bank account, I calmly replied while cutting the meat.

“I will live.”

“Ha, but… Being older and getting eaten by younger people…….”

“As much as you get, you can serve.”

She didn’t say what to serve, but she blushed and nodded her head.

As expected of a restaurant where one meal costs a month’s salary for a guard captain, food that is not easily seen in a fantasy world came out in a row.

What surprised me the most was the fish. There are seasonings in various ways to hide the fishy smell, but after a long time eating only meat every day, the unique savory taste of fish lingered on my tongue. It tasted like white rice.

“Is this fish?”

“Have you ever eaten?”

“Yes. How can I eat it?”

“I’ll apply it.”

I took her fish, put her thorns on her, and gave her back. It was a very difficult fish to apply with a fork and spoon, but well, you don’t eat fish for a day or two.

Seeing me applying the fish bone so naturally, Ilone let out an exclamation.

“Have you eaten a lot of fish?”

“Yes.”

“I see…”

Then, she suddenly became quiet. As I pondered why, I remembered that in the interior of the country, fish are rare enough for aristocrats to eat.

‘Did you think I was a noble?’

Hey, fish was something you could barely see in a high-end restaurant like this, and it’s not that difficult to identify the past of someone who said he enjoyed eating it.

He’d think he was a nobleman, or something similarly rich.

“It’s just that my hometown is near the sea.”

“…… Okay?”

“Yes. I could go to the sea in an hour or two.”

“Did you live near the sea?”

At those words, Ilone relaxed her expression and smiled softly. I let out a sigh of relief and continued eating.

After that, I drank a drink or two, and the atmosphere matured. Today was going to be the perfect date.

After paying her bill, she took her slightly drunk and walked her down the street at night. A time when most people go back to their homes or inns, and a few guards go around to patrol.

We left quickly to find an inn to avoid getting caught at night.

─Kyaaaaa!

Then, a scream was heard from afar. Ilone and I immediately met eyes.

“…… Did you hear?”

“Yes. Screams.”

“I heard it over there.”

I wonder if this is the spirit of work, Ilone took out his hair tie from his bosom and began tying his undone hair into a tight tie.

Not wanting to ruin her date her, I asked her.

“Wouldn’t the guards save them on their own?”

“No. There are no children on this side of the patrol at this time.”

“How can I…… Ah.”

She was the chief of the guards guarding the city. The patrol route of the guards must be clearly in your head.

“Are you on a date?”

At that, Ilone looked at me and smiled.

“Sorry. Let’s play next time.”

She tore off the skirt of her one-piece dress to make it easier to run, and ran straight to the place where the screams were heard.

I looked at the back of it.

“Nice. Sister.”

And she immediately ran after him.

* * *

Lesser adventurers who risk their lives every day and touch pennies often encounter strong temptations. It was the drug.

When monsters in the dungeon are cooked in a special way, their bodies and blood are transformed into excellent drugs.

Thanks to that, it was very easy for drugs to spread in this city. That was the reason Blackjack, an underground organization, was able to grow.

The convenience of obtaining drugs, the main source of income. Expansion of power through economies of scale. Because of the economy of the number, it was caught by Deokgu’s ability and was wiped out all at once…….

Anyway, the organization that mass-produced drug addicts disappeared, and all that remained in the city were countless drug addicts.

While he was suffering from the withdrawal phenomenon, the dungeon changed drastically and his income drastically decreased.

Even the monsters on the 3rd floor were unable to obtain raw materials for drugs thanks to the dried seeds.

Thanks to this, the price of drugs began to skyrocket. It’s so expensive that drug addicts can’t save it even if they sell their organs…….

There are two things that people who want things that they can’t reach no matter how hard they try.
Give up what you have, or give up your humanity.
They easily gave up their humanity.

“Quiet.”

“Eup-eup-!”

Having kidnapped one of her prostitutes her, the lesser adventurer took her dagger her and thrust it into her throat her. Although it is ignored as a low-class adventurer, it is a job that crosses the line every day.

If you set your mind to killing a woman, you could very easily decapitate her. Sensing her her life her, the woman shed tears and silently nodded her head.

The adventurer quietly looked down at the woman’s body in her. She was hot enough to fuck her, but she didn’t want to lust after her body.

If that were the case, I would have saved up money for a few days and went to a prostitute village to buy and eat. The moment he committed such a crime, he had to prepare for death.

‘If you bring a woman… He said he would buy it for ten gold.’

I don’t know why. But where there is demand, there is also supply; Even ten gold was equivalent to three days’ worth of drugs, so it was not his business his to take a woman and use it for anything.

“Quiet, follow me. Kill if you stop. If you try to scream…….”

“Stop.”

Suddenly, at some point, the man felt that his hands were cold. As I looked at his wrists, the drug-ridden nerves started belatedly sending out signals.

“Quaaaaagh!”

Chii-ik, smoke rose from his wrist his and cooked his wrist his as it was. Seeing that the severed wrist his was completely cooked and not a single drop of blood came out, Dojin threw the branch away.

Ilone, who followed, frowned slightly at the severed wrist his, saw the victim shaking, and immediately subdued the criminal.

“You trash bastard.”

While she subdued her offender, Do-jin reassured her victim. The woman who was trembling saw Dojin and she was held in his arms her and she began to weep.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes Yes….”

“May I ask what happened?”

“Ji, on the way back home, suddenly…….”

Having heard her circumstances her, Ney took her her, her offender her, and her severed wrist her and went straight to the guard.

The guards greeted Ilonae with a flurry of surprise as if they had been greeted with redheads in the middle of the night.

“Leader? What is that outfit…….”

“Leave the baby first.”

“What is it, all of a sudden?”

“I will write a letter, so prepare for the interrogation.”

The guard was a little surprised to see Ne, with a womanly appearance he had never seen before, but he listened to her and immediately prepared for an interrogation.

The words that came out of the mouth of such a criminal interrogated were quite difficult to believe.

“…… What? Forming a criminal organization among low-level adventurers? He said he would exchange money or drugs if he brought someone over?”
