Chapter 56 – 56. Audience (2)
“The Holy Water of Water is involved in the rampage of monsters… Is that true?”
Holy water is a sacred being in Raden.
Seven attributes created by the Goddess of Creation.
A holy beast that can be said to be a living legend to this day, as a sacred being that governs its properties.
It would be surprising to hear that such a sacred being is causing a rampage of monsters that pose a threat to people.
Of course, if we had just told them, we would have continued to doubt it, but we have evidence.
“There are also photos taken as evidence.
“Even a photo? Now, please wait a moment. I’m not the only one here to hear the report… Hey, guild leader!”
Deisi immediately went to call the Dolant guild leader.
After a while, we were guided to the adventurer’s guild’s reception room.
“Show me the picture.”
“Here it is.”
We placed the photo we took on the table.
“This… Is truly holy water. But something is strange.”
“We felt the same way when we met. This pointed jewel on his forehead he looked particularly suspicious.”
“I think so too.”
The Dolant guild leader looked at the photo carefully, then raised his head and looked at us.
“Could you explain the situation again?
I explained the situation again to the Dolant guild leader.
“In other words… While investigating, I met the Holy Beast of Water, and witnessed a scene where the Holy Beast of Water caused monsters to run wild. And I defeated a group of monsters and wounded the Holy Beast of Water… But the Holy Beast of Water escaped.”
“That’s right.”
I asked, looking at the picture of Fraton playing Dolant in full swing.
“Is there by any chance the lower half of this cut-off Praton?”
“There is.”
“Oh! Really! If you don’t mind, please provide it to the guild. If we investigate, we might be able to find out why the Holy Beast of Water did this.”
“… I’ll give you some of the things you need for the investigation.”
“Part of it?”
I guess the Dolant guild leader knew that I would immediately give up my entire lower body.
You can’t eat it raw.
“The lower body of Praton, the Water Holy Beast, is clearly the trophy we obtained through our encounter. In the first place, the request was just an investigation. It did not ask us to hand over the loot obtained during the investigation.”
“Well, that’s true. But…”
“However, not providing it at all will certainly not help resolve this situation, so I will provide an appropriate amount of parts for investigation. I am not sure whether the investigation will go well since the parts were already cut in the first place.”
“… Okay.”
The Dolant guild leader did not hesitate any longer and resigned obediently.
After that, I took out Platon’s lower body from the Adventurer’s Guild’s warehouse, and separated about a third of the lower body from where the cut cross section was visible.
It was easy to separate it as it was pierced several times with a spear and stung.
“The investigation request has been completed! Thank you for your hard work! May a brilliant light shine upon you!”
I was able to complete the report without much conflict with the guild.
When we left the guild, Yeonhwa smiled and said to me.
“Ohhohohoho! Well done, Sihan! You made a reasonable compromise to the guild’s shameless attempt to take all the loot we got!”
“Of course. I have no intention of becoming a pushover.”
“That’s a very good attitude!”
“B-But this is an incident involving holy water, so is it okay to do this?”
Atzval spoke to Pamela who felt doubts.
“Our job was already done with the investigation. Just showing the photos was enough! It would be foolish to go overboard just because it’s for the greater good.
I, too, have done such foolish things in the past. It was 4 years ago… I was fooled by the rumor of an inventor who was raising investment money for an invention that would help the world, and I invested my living expenses, but as soon as he received the money, he disappeared…!”
Isn’t that just a case of being scammed, regardless of the cause?
“If I were to express the anger I felt at that time, it would literally be like the flames of hell rising to the very end of the sky…”
We arrived at Cats Store while listening to Atsubal’s description of his anger at the time.
“Welcome, everyone~ Oh, there are some of you here for the first time? Are you a new group member?”
“My name is Gyeong-hu, and I am in charge of Lady Yeon-hwa’s maid.”
“Oh, I see! Hello! The President of Cats Company! I’m Sasha!”
After a brief introduction, we went to the disassembly department warehouse as usual and took out the corpse of the monster we caught today.
I took out an additional magic stone and handed it to Sasha.
“Oh? You also brought the magic stone today?”
“This time it was an investigation, not a monster extermination. I hope you pay well.”
Hehe, just leave it to me~. But what were the results of the investigation?”
“Actually…”
I explained to Sasha what happened during the investigation.
“Woah, holy water? Wow… It’s much bigger in scale than I thought.”
“It just so happened that it happened like that.”
“Are you guys really okay? If it were holy water, it would have been really strong.”
“Ohhohohohoho! I have protection so that won’t happen!”
“Lady Yeonhwa’s protection department is the best!”
“Surprisingly, the holy water of water was nothing special. I got hit by an attack and immediately retreated.”
“Ha, but when I first met him, I was a little scared. He also seemed strange.”
“Thank you all for your hard work. Oh my! Atsubal! The poison bore steak I mentioned last time is ready to be cooked!”
“Oh, really!”
“Yes! You can prepare it right away if you want! How about you guys eat it too? I tried it once and it was quite delicious!”
“I’m looking forward to that. But before that, Sasha, I have something more to show you.”
“Are you going to show me?”
“Yes. This is it.”
The lower body of Praton, the Holy Beast of Water, was taken out from the warehouse of the dismantling department.
“Huh? What is this? It looks like the severed lower body of a deer with green fur. Huh? A deer?”
Shaking as if I had guessed her, Sasha turned her head and looked at me, showing off her talent.
“Oh, oh, oh, brother… I can’t believe this…”
“Yes. It is the lower body of Praton, the Holy Beast of Water. I provided part of it to the Adventurer’s Guild for investigation. How do you feel, Shasha?”
She asked, raising the corner of her mouth with a grin towards Sasha.
“Do you think it will make money?”
“Oppaaaaa aaaaa aaaaah~?
Sasha was suddenly hugged by me.
She flew in with her arms outstretched and hugged her neck, bringing her face close.
“I’m not saying it’s just money! What a sacred beast of water! The lower body of a sacred beast of water! The holy beast of water, Praton, who can’t even think of hurting you in the first place! The lower body of that holy beast! It’s an item that can’t be easily valued! But I have it like this. Oh, come on! Not only the leather but also the meat is literally a lot of money!”
“Even meat?”
“There are a lot of nobles in the world who want to eat very rare food! But you offer dishes made with meat from the Holy Water of Water to those people? It’s literally worth the price! Oh… You sell something like this! Ahhh! Oppaaaaa! ! Side, side, side!”
Sasha kept kissing my cheek, her eyes sparkling.
“Ah, ahhh! Shasha give a kiss to Sihan!”
“Wow, you are very proactive, Mr. Sasha… ! Mr. Sasha, do you have those feelings towards Sihan?”
“No, those are the eyes that see fortune.”
“What kind of shameless behavior is this in front of other people?”
“Top side!”
No matter what others said, Sasha didn’t stop and kissed me.
“Say, boss! Calm down!”
“You’re killing the boss!”
“Ugh! The boss is surprisingly strong… !”
The people in the dismantling department panicked and tried to take Sasha away from me.
But Sasha not only wrapped her arms around my neck, but also wrapped her legs around her torso, trying not to fall like a koala clinging to a tree.
“Sihan, Mr. Sihan! Stop taking away Mr. Sasha… Huh? Mr. Sihan?”
Even though the people in the disassembly department worked hard, I couldn’t remove Sasha.
Because the moment Sasha’s lips touched my cheek, her head her her her froze.
It’s okay to hug my favorite character.
Well, you can be happy.
It’s also nice to see your favorite characters like Pamela or Yeonhwa in somewhat provocative outfits.
It’s good for the eyes and I honestly said it was good.
But kissing is different.
Not only are the characters from the games I played in my youth actually alive and moving, they have become my colleagues, we do requests together, we chat happily, and they show favor towards me.
This alone makes me a user.
No, as an individual, I was extremely happy.
However, I was unable to show it outwardly because I was frustrated that my current state was too unresponsive and there was a concept I maintained.
But my favorite character is kissing me?
For subculture users, it is like a secret dream coming true.
The brain couldn’t keep up with the momentary burst of happiness.
I had no choice but to freeze.
“Si-Sihan has completely frozen.”
“Wait, has a petrification spell been applied? There’s no movement at all?”
“Gyeonghu? Why is Sihan acting like that?”
“That guy… He was smarter than I thought. The opposite sex completely froze after kissing me on the cheek.”
“Huh? Deadline?”
“Si, are you Mr. Sihan?”
“That guy? The guy who seems to shake off a woman’s temptation without any hesitation?”
“It’s hard to know everything about a person just by looking at them… I was surprised this time, too.”
“Top side!”
“Boss! Stop it now!”
“Sihan is in trouble!”
“First of all, if we don’t drop Sasha, the stiffening won’t loosen.”
“Let’s go take it away! Kyeong-hu!”
“Yes! Lady Yeonhwa!”
“Stop falling!”
Only after Gyeonghu, Yeonhwa, and Pamela joined in, I was able to be free from Sasha’s baptism of kisses.
“… Hmm. Now that I think about it, this is a good shutter opportunity!”
Click! Snap!
A shutter sound was heard while removing the sasha.
