Chapter 316 – Chapter 316

Needless to say, a small town full of buildings of a style never seen before? City?
Anyway, it landed in the middle of such a place.

-I heard that the lord is attracting people?
-Shhh, by any chance, everyone who says this story leaks out will have their throats cut.

I don’t even know what the people around me are talking about.
One thing’s for sure, it’s embarrassing if you don’t know where you’re going.

I don’t know what kind of world this place is, how it works, and what the traditions and rules of this world are.
I am at a loss as to what to do.

In times like this, it’s best not to overdo it and wait in place and look around for a while.
I remember seeing it at a military cafe somewhere.

“Ew.”

I took out a chocolate bar, which I don’t normally enjoy eating, out of my subspace pocket, chewed it, and looked around calmly.
To be honest, looking around blankly is so embarrassing.
So while I was eating something, I stopped for a while because I was eating something here… It was to make tea.

“How much are these apples?”

Turning my head at the word apology, I let out a blank laugh.
Really… Are you sorry?
I thought it was roughly showing it as an apple due to the language translation for me, but there was a fresh green green apple placed there.

“That too is one world after all. The fundamentals are the same.”

I think I know why Caisis said that.
So, in the end, the ‘basic elements’ of many dimensions are the same, but now the outcome is different depending on the direction or environment that develops from the basis.

Kaisis said that in modern times, the element of ‘Mana’ was so lacking that it was not a good environment for heterogeneous people like monsters to live in.
That’s why the technology called science has developed to lead a prosperous life without mana.

On the contrary, in this world, if you still have ‘mana’, you can solve all kinds of problems.
It’s a place where a lot of spectacular things happen to develop science, so maybe it’s still a culture of this level.

… I thought it was plausible and slowly got up.

I looked around for about 10 minutes, but it didn’t seem like there was any need to shrink too much just because it was a different world.
In the first place, when Kaisis looked at my current level, he said he would go at least halfway.

‘I said that there aren’t many beings who can handle mana.’

He said that if I couldn’t handle mana, even the slightest blade couldn’t pierce my body.
Furthermore, just in case, Kaisis taught me some martial arts until she came here.

“It’s not that I’m particularly worried about you, but people should basically know how to do this!”

Chess, magic.
Beyond that, general knowledge.
Anyone who sees it will know it’s my mother.

“Where should I go?”

Looking at the level of this town, at least it doesn’t seem like a place to sell Caisis’ jewels in the subspace pouch.
In the first place, Irene had asked me several times to be careful and cautious when selling jewelry.

“As Hyun-woo knows, that world is 100 times more lawless than the modern world. If this seemingly insignificant guy suddenly carries around expensive jewelry, that night, the number of people who will infiltrate Hyeonu-ssi with a knife will exceed three digits.”

Isn’t it a world where there is no law at all?
The so-called world where the fist right in front of you is more scary than the law is right here.

Still, I’m too worried.
Both Kaisis and Irene.

I was already a 22-year-old adult. He is a human being who even worked at a host bar and went through all the prenatal trials.
No matter how harsh this world is, there’s no way I could show such a foolish side.

“Once they say it’s easy to get around the world if you have a mercenary pack, so stop there…”

“Hurry up, pat!”

“Uh…”

I felt something whizzing past me, and I lowered my head as I felt the weight on my side lighten in an instant.
The greatest treasure of my life that was hanging from my waist just a moment ago.
Subspace pockets are not visible.

“…”

I wondered where it had gone, and saw that it was being held in the hands of a scruffy child who was running at full speed in the distance.
What?
Have I been pickpocketed?

“Wow, crazy… Really.”

I’m not lying, I would n’t have known that he had stolen my pocket if I had n’t confirmed with my own two eyes that he had my pocket in his hand.

It was that kind of skill.
All of a sudden, I realize how terrifying the tricks of human beings, such as tajja, magicians, and even swindlers, are.
It was a dexterity that overturned the common sense of ordinary people at once.

“That’s it…”

I just kicked the ground.

“You fucking bastard! Give me my pocket! How many are in it!”

Rather, I had to catch that bastard thief even if it was embarrassing.
Fuck.
When I get pickpocketed, the people around me don’t feel sorry for me or help me… It’s because I’ve seen you laugh in reverse.
I realized that it is a world of weak meat, where there is no real affection.

‘Thank you, little bastard.’

And…

“Tadadadadadadak! Poof!”

“Ugh!”

After all, I was able to confirm once again how excellent my physical ability was, receiving God’s blessing.
It was because he could see the distance between him and the kid who wanted to get farther away in an instant.
Certainly, when I see the surrounding landscape whizzing by in one run, I can feel that I am somewhat out of the ordinary human being.

It’s delicious.

“Heo-eok, hee-huh! Crazy!”

The kid who saw me chasing me right behind me said his complexion his turned blue, and then he gritted his teeth and bent his body into the alley.
If it was a modern child, it would have been worth giving up, but I can definitely feel that the children of this world are desperate in many ways.
For example, something like this.

“Die!”

I saw the kid I was waiting for scared to follow into the alley kicked the ground and stabbed a dagger into my eye.

Being threatened by a knife for the first time in my life made my spine tingle, but more than that, my body, which had been trained in Spartan martial arts by Caisis, was moving reflexively.

That’s why no matter what martial art you learn, it’s important to practice it repeatedly enough to get used to it.
In an emergency, the body had to react before thinking.

“Ouch! Kut!”

In an instant, I grabbed the wrist of the kid who was swinging at me, snatched the dagger, and subdued it as it was.

“…”

A rusty dagger.
To be honest, it was an old dagger that seemed like it wouldn’t have hurt even if it was stabbed openly. I won’t buy it even if you take it to the blacksmith.
Instead, you might get tetanus for sure.

The child who intuition that it was fucked immediately changed his attitude to his 180 degrees and apologized.
One of his real survivability is being an awesome guy.

“Help me! Sorry. I’ll return the stolen pouch right away.”
“Of course it should.”

I hung the subspace pouch from my waist again.
I want to just put it in my pants pocket, but it’s too big for that, so it rubs against my thighs every time I walk around.

In addition, it was also a fashion to hang a subspace pocket on the waist.

Even if I get pickpocketed, I can’t stand fashion.

By the way…

“Sah, save me! From now on, I will never touch that thing. Please take a look!”
“…”

Even if I was pickpocketed, it wasn’t a big deal why I wasn’t very angry.

“How old are you? If you lie, you will die by my hand.”
“Six years old… It is.”
“Really? Are you really 6 years old?”
“Yes…”

6 years old, damn.

Having lived my life for 22 years, I think I have met quite a few stellar people.
Among them, there were many bastards without common sense or conscience.

Nonetheless, none of those children would have mastered the art of pickpocketing perfectly from the age of six, and would have lured them into an alley and tried to kill them.

“Ooh, you bastard. Is a 6-year-old already going to commit pickpocketing and even murder?”
“I had no choice but to survive.”
“…”

Watching a 6-year-old kid say it without hesitation, as if it was natural, it hurts even a bully like me.
If we send incurable criminals from Korea to this world, won’t they come back soon after being rehabilitated?

… It was such a pitiful world to think of.

I thought I could understand why Caisis has been enjoying life comfortably since coming over to modern times.
There were too many uncomfortable parts in this world for kind-hearted beings.

“If you say this baby, you should just nod your head. Where can I talk back?”

Puck, I lightly squeezed it.

That alone is a bloated little boy who falls backwards. But he doesn’t even show signs of crying. Even in the midst of this, when I see him constantly looking at me in case he offends me, I remember the first time Noah came to my house.

That kid also looked at me from one to ten at first.

“Young…”

When I remembered that, I couldn’t bear to just ignore this kid and go. Now I can understand why parents with children in so many works cannot just pass by these little ones.

If I just ignore and move on because they are other people’s children, my children will continue to be stepped on in my eyes.

‘Is this a human arm…’

The average weight of a 6-year-old child is 21.3 kg, but this guy weighed a little over 15 kg at the most.
Above all, there was not too much weight in the body.

I’ve only seen this once in my life.
You were admitted to the hospital right away… I felt it when I went to see my old grandmother who was alive until the age of 97.

At that time, she was an old grandmother who was so fragile that even I, at the time, could break it with even the slightest amount of strength…
How does that feeling come from a 6-year-old child?

「Grurl!」

“… If you’re not going to kill me, can you please let go now?”
“Why? If you let me go, would you steal someone else’s money and use it to buy a piece of bread?”

Still, I wonder if the child’s feelings are completely dead.
I said it a little sarcastically, and I immediately shouted out in tears.

“Then what! You want me to starve like this?”

At that, I asked with a smile.

“How many kids like you are in this town?”
“A total of three, including me.”

It’s shorter than I thought.

“Guide me. Uncle will feed you until you’re full.”
“I don’t like it.”
“Eh?”

I thought that he would guide me right away, but when I asked the reason in embarrassment, the little boy answered.

“You’re not trying to use us as a sacrifice for black magic? Or are you trying to sell them to a slave market?”
“It’s not like that, you bastard.”

To misunderstand the goodwill of others in that way.
On the other hand, how harsh the world is, why would a 6-year-old start to doubt things like that?

“Then tell me why. A legitimate reason. I have to be able to understand.”
“…”

I smiled and said while putting the guy on top of my neck.

“I have kids like you. Even the third is just pregnant.”
“You mean you have kids like that? How old are they?”
“140 years old.”

At that moment, the little boy asked again.

“Mister, are you okay? How about going to the temple?”

Fuck…
