Chapter 109 – Extraversion. Fledgling Cassano

– Perok!

“Fuck, something like a parasitic brother…!”

The guy, who was bleeding profusely with his ugly upturned nose, began to slowly back away while grabbing his nose and glaring at him. The woman who was protected behind him looked busy examining the situation, rolling her rat-like eyes.

“Who was the first one to quarrel with?”

“You messed with Nao first!”

-Startle

The woman called Nao grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him. I couldn’t hear her right, but it was clear that she was whining at me and then whining at me from the way she fussed about, “Let’s go, okay, uh.”

“What is he saying now. She asked me to sleep first, so she came with her legs spread.”

“What, what? Nao couldn’t have done that…!”

The guy who had been in denial with his teeth trembling from tension and excitement looked at the woman who asked him to come out and opened his eyes wondering if. Since the two of them would be heading for catastrophe on their own, I raised my fist and chased him away with a threat.

“If you understand, get out of here, you bastard, try to tease one more time, huh?”

“You bastard who eats women’s backs…! Wow!”

“Let’s go quickly, huh?”

-Tadadak

Leaning his back against the wall of the alley, he glared at him, and after grabbing his nose for a while, he grabbed the hand of a woman named Nao and walked out of the alley. The thing I couldn’t adapt to in this world the most was the madmen who started fighting right away, and the next thing I couldn’t understand was the stupid behavior of turning my back after being beaten.

[What he said earlier, is it true…?]

[No- you, are you doubting me?]

[Not that-]

Watching the two leave while having a trivial conversation, I let out a sigh as I stroked my throbbing side. A year after falling into a world unknown to me, I wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t fallen into a village church and hadn’t been taught writing and various things by an old nun.

“Whoa…”

What can a 21-year-old kid who doesn’t know anything do, even though he somehow managed to get to the capital of the Kingdom with the few pennies he gave him when he passed away? Somehow, she stayed close to the mercenaries, and she endured by serving as a subordinate by cleaning porters and equipment.

But what’s more surprising than I thought was that women in another world liked my face, which was about average on Earth. No, I liked the clean look rather than the face. Thanks to that, there were times when he got flirting with one or two women at a mercenary party and received a penny or two more.

-Grasp!

I kicked the stone that was rolling in front of my feet in a sudden surge of irritation, and I regretted that I should not have received the money at that time.

Receiving a penny from female mercenaries, the existence of me suddenly spread through word of mouth from women. Whenever the women passed by me as if they were poking an inedible persimmon, they would talk to me or flirt with me, but my male colleagues seemed to think differently.

There were people who beat me to vent their anger one by one, and there were people who threatened to kill me if I messed around. However, when I was a porter before I even ate knives, I spent my time watching those menacing bastards.

After half a year since I fell in this world, I finally got my hands on the sword, and I barely started cutting it while following the friendly mercenaries.

Recalling the memory of going to kendo in elementary school, the knife he wielded at random became the strongest lifeline in another world. It’s been a year since I survived with such sloppy cutting – I was able to pick up a few requests from the mercenary guild, but I, who was known as a parasitic brother who harassed women, was still alone.

-Jerbuck

I had nothing to do, but I just had to go to my dorm to sleep. Just as I was about to leave the alley after organizing my thoughts, I heard footsteps behind me. As soon as I turned around, frowning, thinking that the idiots who had left earlier had come back, a beauty I had never seen before greeted me.

-Gulp

Shiny orange bobbed hair that came down to the shoulder blades and bright green eyes like fresh grass. A face with a cute face and eyes like a fox. My name popped out as my thick pink lips parted with a grinning smile.

“Are you Cassano?”

She asked my name with a confident voice, even though she was a head shorter than me, and slowly approached me. She was a green robe that covered her entire body, but she felt a volume that could not be covered. Her hips that drew a beautiful curve like her pot and her breasts that looked full were a proper beauty that I had never seen in this world.

“Aren’t you staring too hard?”

“Oh, sorry.”

“Huh, what happened? It’s Cassano anyway, right?”

“Yes yes. I am Cassano.”

Why is this woman looking for me? Reminding myself of my almost complete lack of friendly relations, I looked into the green eyes of the woman in front of me, hoping she wouldn’t hurt me.

-Jerbuck

A footstep was added as they looked into each other’s eyes for a few minutes, but they didn’t look in their direction. Continuing the meaningless snowball fight, I first turned my head and avoided looking at the attitude of the woman who seemed to have no intention of avoiding her gaze at all.

“Um, are you going to pass?”

“Yes?”

Averting her gaze, she placed her finger on her lips and made a groaning sound before removing her hand with a smile and saying she passed. As I was staring blankly at her questionable answer, I held out her hand to me with her bright smile.

“Nice to meet you, I am Remia. I am the vice-captain of a small mercenary corps.”

After the introduction of her, no Remia, something unknown to her who had been standing behind her stood side by side with her. Staring at her covered in a gray robe, Remia covered her mouth with a smile and slapped her with her elbow.

“I’m your assistant shooter, so I have to say hello. Take it off immediately.”

“All right.”

-Slowly

There was something more beautiful than Remia’s appearance, which she had admired, within the hood that had been removed with the sound of her slender fingers picking up the hood with the hideous eyes, and the sound of rubbing the fabric. The completely naked woman in the hood licked her pink lips, and after a while she spoke to me in a low voice.

“…Nice to meet you. My name is Erilda.”

I stared blankly at the dark blue hair that flowed down like a waterfall, the glossy hair, and met two eyes that matched the color of my hair. It was an expression that was not suitable for expressing the eyes, but should I say it is colorless and odorless? I took a step back and said hello to the empty eyes that didn’t feel anything.

“Nice to meet you. This is Cassano.”

“Well then, after greeting each other- shall we go to the mercenary corps?”

“Right?”

He took a step back, recalling the area where the mercenary dormitories approved by the mercenary guild were concentrated. As it was a place I had visited several times while working as a porter, I couldn’t move my feet easily as I remembered the frequent scuffles and quarrels I had experienced there.

“Because I need to get permission from the captain, right?”

-Tup

Remia finished her conversation with a smile, and at the moment Remia turned around, Arrilda, who was standing there, grabbed her wrist with an expressionless expression and dragged her along. Still, I felt like I was being dragged away by her boyfriend, so I followed the two of them, biting my lips at the strong grip.

– Jeop-bu, Je-beok, Je-beok

“Are you going to subdue the goblins tomorrow?”

“To go and get stabbed with a poisoned dagger?”

The smiling Remia, the hooded Erilda, and me who were captured. Even though it was a noisy and chaotic alleyway in the capital city, the three of us were quite conspicuous.

Complex, noisy and messy. While walking for a long time across a bustling alleyway, Erilda suddenly stopped. The sudden stop thump- It was Erilda who bumped into her back but didn’t even move.

“What is it?”

Taking my eyes at her sudden braking, I asked Erilda while stroking her tingly eyelids. With her hood on, she blew out only her dark blue eyes, and she raised her finger and pointed in front of her.

Accommodations lined up like college dormitories seen from Earth, sweaty mercenaries, porters carrying their equipment on their backs, and peddlers brazenly talking on mats on the floor. I only followed behind, but before I knew it, I arrived at the mercenary dormitory.

“Follow Remia.”

“Me, what about that one?”

“I have free time now.”

Arylda let go of her wrist, bowed her head to say hello and left. Watching her back with the fluttering robe, I turned around without hesitation and caught up with Remia, who was walking around with her.

“Oh, is Erilda gone?”

“Yes, I heard that it is free time.”

“Even though I’m going to gamble anyway, I take care of my free time.”

“Are you gambling?”

Being a woman who gambles, I pictured her throwing cards and betting while scratching her dark blue hair covering her face.

“Come to think of it, have you ever seen an elf? I think you’re the first one who isn’t surprised to see Erilda.”

“Are you an elf?”

I closed my eyes at Remia’s words and thought about it. Where is Erilda called an elf? Dark blue hair, eyes the same color as her hair, a sculpted nose, sweet-looking lips, and long pricked ears.

“Were you an elf?”

“I did not know?”

“I only looked at the face, so I roughly looked at the ears.”

But I still remember seeing it. Only then, convinced of her ridiculous beauty, I nodded her head and followed Remia. You’re stupid—Remia scolded me in a light tone, gave a small smile, then stopped her steps and pointed at the closed wooden door.

“It’s here, open it.”

– Kiki Iik

You can open it yourself- I swallowed the words in my throat and opened the door without saying a word and gestured. Raised by her light escort playfully by the end of her robe, Remia entered the door with her light steps. I was nervous for no reason, swallowed the saliva in my mouth, entered the building and quietly closed the door.

-Thud

“It’s quiet because there are few people. Let’s go to the captain’s office with me.”

“Yes.”

The two of us chatted as we climbed the steep wooden steps. Remia was inquisitive about everything from her light current situation to when she started mercenary work, but she had nothing to hide, and if she did, she wondered if it would be possible to hide it from Remia who came to find me in an alleyway in the capital, so I honestly confessed.

“Mmmm, um… Then you came to the capital when you were 20?”

“That’s it. I am 21 now.”

“Huh…”

Saying a specific age and looking too young for no reason- I scratched my head and looked at Remia. Remia, who had been chewing on my age, soon licked her short tongue, moistened her lips, and knocked on the large door in front of her.

[Who is this!]

A voice that sounded good, cheerful, bad tempered, rang out loudly. I flinched and looked at Remia, but Remia didn’t blink an eye at her and patted her again.

“I’m the vice-captain- I’ll go in-“

[Uh, uh uh!]

-Kudangtang! Bang!

The sound of collapsing was heard in the headroom, and the floor thumped. I looked at Remia, rolling my eyes at the sound of creaking boards and the trembling floor, but I stood close to her in silence as she whistled and whistled, as if it was a familiar scene.

– Jump!

“Oh, come on! What’s the matter? …Huh?”

Opening the door, a man came out with a beard that stretched out like a bandit. But he wasn’t just a man, he was a gorilla-like man whose whole body was covered in muscles. The old man, who had been smiling innocently at Remia, looked at me standing next to him, and he immediately started glaring at me with a distorted face.

“What else is this bastard?”

From the first meeting, I was angry at the rude attitude of cursing, but I was weak because I had no strength. Are you complaining or arguing here? It’s just going to be a crushed Cassano without any rumors and scattered around the back alleys. Remia, who smiled with a smile as she looked at her with her lips tightly closed like Hapjuki, explained.

“We also need the youngest, right? I brought it because it looked okay.”

“Ah, but when we recruit new recruits, it’s a bit public-“

“Is it okay?”

“Of course, Remia can if she wants to. Huh! What’s your name?”

Ajae, who was very authoritative and hesitant, nodded her head with a bright smile when Remia answered firmly. Gave and exhaled.

“Card. Buy. No.”

It was named after Casanova, who was famous for helping women in a world where it was difficult to live, but in the end, what I saw was myself who was bullied by the women’s pranks. As I called out the name with terrible intentions one letter at a time, Ah-jae, who had been thinking about it, asked me, distorting her already beggar-like face even more.

“Casano? Are you that bastard who rips off innocent women for money?”

“Never before.”

If I really received it, I wouldn’t feel unfair – I stretched out both hands as if I felt sorry for the approaching father-in-law, reciting rumors I might have heard somewhere.

“I recognized him, but he wasn’t that kind of kid. You don’t have to worry.”

“That, is it? If it’s Remia, then that’s it. OK, I’ll put you on the list.”

“Thank you.”

“Then, would you like to go eat something delicious tonight? The other day, I made a reservation at a restaurant that I was interested in…”

“Oh, really?”

It was Remia who clapped her hands lightly and glanced at me, but then she turned her eyes back to her head, and then she began to speak clearly.

“Then I’ll tell Cassano about the room and come, so are you ready?”

“I, really? Are you going with me?”

“If you say that, it sounds like I haven’t been there yet.”

Haha! Sorry, I’ll get ready soon! You, the youngest, quickly get out of your room!”

-Bang!

The headmaster closes the door with a big smile, doubting that it might be on his ears. At the scene where the storm passed, as if nothing had happened, I looked at Remia as she went down her stairs, humming, with her narrowed eyes, and Remia asked me only after she came down to the first floor.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“That captain, is he really like that?”

“My original personality is tyrannical, you understand.”

“Looks like he’s trying to kill you.”

Recalling the leader’s face as I gritted my teeth as if it had written “Killing” Written on it, I shook my head as I shook my head, struggling with a chill that licked my back.

“It’s because you like me so much, isn’t it funny? I have no idea.”

“Ah…”

You’re cheating on the leader. Looking at her snake-like Remia, her tongue sticking out, I continued to follow her, promising to guide her to her lodgings. Occasionally, I followed the mercenaries passing by in the hallway and asked about the reality that was too sudden to touch.

“Well, then, are you really going to join the mercenary?”

“You are the youngest member of our mercenary group.”

“I, I don’t know how to do anything properly, and I was told to die as a porter. At most, I’ve killed a few goblins…”

“So I brought you.”

“Yes?”

I looked at Remia, who was uttering an incomprehensible sound. Remia, who was looking at me with a carefree smile, pursed her lips.

“The rumors spread like shit, but they said that they go to the guild every day and get work, so they brought it.”

“Ah…”

“Usually, rumors about the mercenary guild are true or false. At first glance, it seemed like nonsense.”

“Thank you…”

“There’s a pub that Erilda always goes to, so I’ll tell you where it is. I’m only going to tell you the room, so don’t look for it?”

“Yes yes.”

-Ttuk tok

Water started dripping on the floor. It seems that the leader’s heart is bad and he doesn’t even check the leaks in the dorm. Does it make sense to have a mercenary corps where the vice-captain is better than the captain?

“…Don’t cry.”

Remia, who still utters an incomprehensible sound. Reminding me of the pig pen-like inn where I lived with the money I was earning, I smiled happily and said to Remia.

“Ah, don’t cry, suck, and I’m looking forward to the dorm. Oh, I didn’t tell the inn I was staying at before!”

I looked into Remia’s eyes with a blurry vision and spoke brightly. Remia, who had a pitiful smile on her face, patted her on the shoulder and said,

“I told Erilda to get it back. Maybe he’s gambling with it?”

“Why is that person gambling with other people’s lodging expenses? It’s funny.”

Did the dust settle in your eyes? After wiping my invisible vision with my sleeve, I stood behind Remia, who had stopped and cursed at the manager who didn’t even manage the inn.

“It’s this room.”

A wooden door with a nameplate that looked like a simple magic circle, sniffing the scent of apples flowing from the other side of the door, I grabbed the doorknob at Remia’s gesture to open the door and opened the door.

– Jump!

“Oh…”

An ordinary room with two facing beds, a closet, and a desk. The difference from an inn is that the furniture is new and the bed looks comfortable. Also, the scent of apples lingers on the tip of my nose, as if I had put some air freshener on it. That was a very different thing.

“We use the same room as the shooter and sub shooter, right? The next request is about two weeks away, so take care of Erilda and get along.”

Shooter and side shooter, Erilda? Remia’s voice flashed through her mind as she explained to Erilda that Cassano was your assistant. Surprised by the sudden cohabitation with a woman, I looked at Remia with her lips pursed, but she waved her hand with a smirk.

“I know what you’re going to say, but he’s not like that, and you don’t have the guts to attack Erilda, do you? Just the two of you.”

“Still, men and women are different…”

“Yoobyeol is going… Go to the tavern called Grave of Strawberry Nose. If you go straight from here, will you come out?”

I thought of a strange thought and looked at Remia, twisting her body around her body, but she just pinched her nose and left as it was. She dressed up and went to eat – I thought of the beautiful Erilda, took her key from her desk, and locked her door.

To be in the same room as such a beautiful woman, isn’t it possible that I, Ada, can’t take it too? When I was a porter, I watched how mercenaries went to prostitutes on a daily basis, and how much I shuddered. I put it in and walked toward the tavern with excited steps.

“Whoa, whoa…!”

More excited by the fact that I was living with a beauty and an elf than the fact that I had escaped from being a mercenary on a daily basis.

Remia thought that Erilda was gambling, but she thought it was a lie from Remia, who is good at pranks, so I hurried to talk to Rilda while she was having a drink.

The orange-tinted sunset illuminated the capital city.
