Chapter 76 – The Nightmare Hides His Goodness #5

Fireball crush-!
It was a technique I used to finish off the masked stalker.
It is said that stalking is a felony, but one day the criminal may be set free.
In preparation for the future, I had removed the source of the stalking from the masked man.

It’s lust!
The remnant of the mask, which had been slapped between the crotches, flopped like a fish thrown on the ground, and then passed out. I recalled the crushing feeling of his fist the moment it touched, and I was convinced that the masked man had become an eunuch.

There will be no more cases of this masked man stalking actresses in the future.
It’s as if I’ve truly saved Michelle at this moment.

‘Is there anything that makes money?’

Two sharp daggers are identified as belongings of the Masked Man.
In addition, as a result of searching the trench coat, I was able to find two silver coins in the arms of the masked man.
That’s 2 silver.
An amount equal to half of the quest request amount.
The moment I picked up two silver coins from under my coat, I felt very good.
As expected, it is more efficient to root people than monsters.

“Looks like it’ll come in handy when we move. Thank you, you masked pervert bastard.”

I smiled heartily as I looked down at the fallen masked man.
I never thought I could defeat the stalker in one day.
In other words, excessive love for the actress drove the stalker to ruin. Having packed everything, I turned my head to look at Rebecca.

“Rebecca, are you okay?”
“Ugh. This rope is so thick I can’t cut it!”

Rebecca fell out while being tied to a rope blown by the masked man.
Quite a bit passed while I battled, but Rebecca was still whimpering in the corner of her shed. It was because the rope that was moving with the rope trick was tying Rebecca in a very clever way.
Particularly obscenely digging into her breasts was a pervert-like technique.

‘That stalker doesn’t seem to have normal magic skills.’

Even though it seemed like her stamina would drop considerably if she used magic once.
At least the masked man knew how to use proper magic. Just looking at restraining one person with a rope trick, he was stronger than the bronze wizards he had seen in the guild.
The Bronze Mage’s rope trick was just the rope wriggling.

“Stay still. I’ll cut the rope with a dagger.”
“Sah, be gentle, please.”

I cut the rope that tied Rebecca with the dagger I rooted from the masked man. Rebecca, freed from the ropes moments later, let out a sigh of relief as if she was finally going to live.

“It’s really fortunate-. I thought it was the end like this when I was tied to the rope, but I thought you would beat the stalker by yourself.”

What was great?
Does it mean that it was great to break the romance?
But whatever it was, Rebecca was looking at me with her respectful eyes. The look in her eyes made me shudder.

“Aren’t you fucking strong even without magic? You’re pushing that big stalker in an instant.”
“It’s just luck. If that stalker was holding the same longsword instead of a dagger, it would have been dangerous.”

The length of the weapon simply determined victory or defeat.
I’m not being humble, I really am.
Because that stalker was better than me in terms of wielding a sword.
It was fortunate that he had brought a longsword.
After all, a thief who puts memes with a dagger is useless.
Go and put on a bandage hard, you son of a bitch.

“It was hard though.”

Rebecca went over to a shelf near her and she pulled out a rope used as a theatrical prop. Although it was a prop, it was a rope that was no different from the real thing in terms of thickness and durability.
Rebecca quickly tied the Masked Man’s body with the rope.
The meticulousness in tying her hand with her hands apart was conspicuous.

“I’ll call the people from the theater, so hold your seat here.”

Rebecca left me to watch and stormed out of her shed.
Left alone for a moment, I silently watched the fainting stalker.
Then, before Rebecca returned, she took a moment of silence in front of the stalker.

Staring between the stalker’s crotch.
He prayed briefly toward Bural, which had now disappeared.

“Ralbu! I hope you meet a normal owner in your next life.”

*

While Rebecca brought people back, she had nothing to do with me. The masked man tied to the rope showed no signs of waking up. Rather, it might be better for the masked man not to wake up forever.
Because the only thing left for him was a hopeless future in which he could not reproduce his species.

‘Sleep soundly.’

It was while I was leaning against the wall by the window watching the masked man.
People’s footsteps echoed from the warehouse entrance. I could see the crowd of theatergoers Rebecca had brought. The old guards and the actors on the stage, as well as the strangers all came inside.
The large warehouse was quickly filled with people.

“I’ve called people.”
“You don’t need to drag this much?”
“I only called the security guard and Mr. Michelle. Rumors that they caught the stalker spread quickly.”

All the theater people who entered the warehouse started talking excitedly as they saw the stalker. Most of them seemed to have seen this masked stalker before. Surely there’s no way such a large masked man would go unnoticed. He felt brave enough to see how he ran away for 15 days.

I explained to Michelle the process of catching the stalker.
While chasing after the magic hand, he reached the warehouse of the theater and fought a duel with a stalker who jumped out of a teddy bear.
Upon hearing the story, Michelle’s face distorted as if she got goosebumps.

“This big stalker was hiding in a doll?”
“I was surprised too. I thought the only place to hide in a warehouse was a cabinet, but I didn’t know you could use a doll.”
“You bastard! I’ll have to hand it over to the guards soon!”

There was no need to call the guards separately. One of the actors in the theater had already left to call the city guards. Before the soldiers arrived he thanked me Michelle by bowing her head.

“It’s really amazing. I didn’t know you could catch a stalker in one day. Other adventurers didn’t work this fast! Is it because you’re a wizard?”
“Learning magic helped quite a bit, as it gave me clues to track down the stalker.”

If the cat had mistaken the magic hand biting for a theater prop, it would have been impossible to complete the quest in one day. It was fortunate that I read the Mage Hand magic book in advance last night.
Suddenly, Michelle tilted her head while looking at the fallen masked man.

“So why is that man wearing a mask? Is there a terrible scar on his face?”
“Can I take off the mask once?”
“Yes.”

At Michelle’s request, I reached out and pulled the white mask. The moment the mask was removed, the man’s face was finally revealed to the people around him. People who were staring at the stalker widened their eyes.

“That face.”
“Are you just normal?”

There were no big scars anywhere, but I couldn’t help but be surprised. The man’s face had a common impression that could be seen everywhere. Although now his face was wet with tears and runny nose and was a little ugly.

“The blonde incubus next to you looks more like a stalker!”
“That’s why, just by looking at your face, it seems that stalking is your calling.”

These ungrateful bastards say I look like a stalker?
Are you saying that you’ve solved the quest, but you’re being criticized? I wanted to say a word, but I decided to hold it in.
As soon as I glanced at it, the actors started laughing hahahoho and talking nice things. As expected, they were actors who quickly changed the topic, saying that people cannot be judged by their impression alone.

‘Is it because they are actors? As expected, the change of attitude is quick.’

Michelle looked at me and didn’t know what to do.

“They didn’t mean anything bad either.”
“There’s no need for Michelle to apologize. Well, that’s okay. Everyone’s perception of the incubus is like that.”
“You have not only skills as an adventurer, but also personality. I will definitely tell my friends about the adventurer.

Michelle seemed to be quite pleased with the speedy elimination of the stalker. Michelle promised to let everyone she knew know that I was a trustworthy adventurer. Hearing that, I couldn’t help but feel a little relieved. It was an opportunity to raise my reputation as a dreamer in Yoensu.

“Here’s the request fee of 5 silver. Since you eliminated the stalker within a week, I will give you an additional fee.”

Michelle gave me an additional 1 silver for a total of 6 silver. In other words, he received 20% more from the reward of the quest. Michelle, who works as a minor actor in a theater, can’t extract more money here.

I was satisfied with receiving 6 silver.
I handed out a silver coin to Rebecca, who was standing still.
But Rebecca seemed to be burdened for some reason.

“Here’s 3 silver.”
“Bar, can I get it? I didn’t do anything today. I just watched you while you were fighting the stalker.”
“You didn’t just watch it, did you? You took the loftrick with your body. It’s like tanking.”
“…Is it?”

Rebecca thought for a moment before opening her mouth.

“Then, you know the items you took from the stalker earlier. You take them all.”
“It’s 2 silver and there are two daggers, so I’m going to gulp them all?”
“I have a conscience too.”

I couldn’t help but be moved as I watched Rebecca nod her head vigorously.
Some blond nun takes her walk and demands her share. This newbie is willing to lower her own share for me.
It couldn’t be anything other than the adventurous cotyledon that was really promising.

“I hope Kate learns from you.”
“Blonde? What does he have to learn from me?”
“Simbo not to eat raw.”

Time passed and the guards arrived inside the theater. After the guardsmen dragged the masked man away, I took Rebecca out of the theater. The quest ended in one day, so there was no reason to stay in the theater any longer.

Rebecca, who took the silver coin, looked very excited.
There was excitement in Rebecca’s voice as she walked down the street.

“It’s really good. It seems like only yesterday that I received the bounty, but I got money from it again.”
“I feel like I’m making a lot of money these days.”

It was different from the old days when people were selling goblin fangs to make small amounts of money. The reason why my wallet situation has improved must be because I became a wizard. Wouldn’t it be great to have escaped from the solang warrior and formed a fixed party with Rebecca?
Because you can take on a quest that is more profitable to move together than alone.

“It’s nice that the quest ended early. I have something I really want to do with the money I’ve earned so far.”
“You mean fitting new equipment?”
“Hi-Hi.”

Rebecca looked at me and smiled meaningfully.

“That’s a secret!”

Secret?
What do you have to keep secret?
I couldn’t help but wonder as I watched Rebecca smile.
After all, the only thing this red-haired girl could do with money was to adjust her equipment, right?
She was a girl who was greedy for equipment, enough to buy a five-silver shield with a lump sum.

‘Are you preparing to cook again?’

Are you trying to mock me by purchasing expensive equipment?
I couldn’t help but feel chills already.

What are you carrying this time?
Could it be that he was thinking of buying an enchanted artifact?
Surely you don’t intend to slam all the 30 silver you received as a bounty into your equipment! Please don’t!

“Then see you next time!”

Rebecca smiled brightly at what was so good, and she left for the inn.
Even when we parted, there must have been something glancing at me.
I sighed and moved to where I live.

‘Yes, buy it if you want to buy it. Because I have to move first!’

Whatever Rebecca was up to, she wasn’t paying attention to it now. With the money I had earned so far, I wanted to move the inn room to a better place.
Now, he wants to escape from his cramped and run-down cabin.

“I am a bread eater!!

I went back to the inn with a confident cry.
