Chapter 17 – Upper Escort

That way, I put all my belongings into Winia’s room.

How comfortable is this porter? I was like an idiot in the world who would do anything he told me to do. I hated my condition so much.

But what can I do? That she’s a fucking strong wizard and I’m just a dickhead. If Winia really wants to kill me, I think she’ll hit the rice cake in 3 seconds. Skilled wizards are such dangerous and violent beings.

“Um, that’s it!”

When I finished tidying up, Winia stroked my hair as if she was satisfied.

“Can I get up now?”
“Yes, yes. Bastard worked hard! It’s so commendable!”

My knees were fucking sore from crawling on the stone floor like a pole.

Beyond the pain, everything was peeled off and bleeding profusely. I don’t know if I’d come out wearing clothes, but it wasn’t the clothes I usually wear when I go hunting monsters, but it was just thin clothes I wore to sleep, so there was no defense. I didn’t really grow, and I got a bitch.

The urge to kill Winia soared when I saw my only daily wear, my shorts, ruined. It doesn’t matter if this bitch is pretty or has big breasts. Murderous intent cannot be stopped with such things.

The knees of his pants were already soaked with blood.

It probably won’t come off with washing.

It is unimaginable. Recently I didn’t shed a drop of blood while catching kobolds and cockatrices.

Fortunately, I still had the ointment I bought from the Alchemist Guild when I opened the gremlin nest the other day. That fucking 2 silver. I might as well put that on. I was going to save on the expensive ones, but I’m using this here, you fucking bitch.

“You can go bastard now! I enjoyed today. See you next time?”

The blood had hardened and stuck to my knees and pants. As I endured the pain and carefully tried to remove the scab, Winia greeted me with a smile.

ㅡBoom!

Then he slammed the door shut.

Uh? Hey wait!

“Uh, uh? Uh! Hey! Wait!”

I knocked on the door in bewilderment. However, Winia was immovable. No answer came from inside the tightly closed door. Winia pampered me and fed me, and then abandoned me at the speed of light…!

And that’s why I’m alone in a space like this!

“Oh fuck!”

In this harsh situation, I immediately sorted out the situation with a sober judgment!

It has become a situation where there is no excuse even if it looks like a gangster who broke into the girls’ dormitory. Sweat started pouring out of my back. This makes no sense. It is a space that makes no sense.

A bastard like me was left alone in the female wizard dormitory? There was no way I could bear this reality.

The hand knocking on the door stopped. This bitch won’t come out even if I call. He was still ignoring my cries.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy this situation.

“What is it? That dirty man?”
“Oh my, what is that…”
“Shouldn’t you call the guard?”

While I was contemplating whether I should just put a steel plate on my face and go out confidently, more and more female wizards came in. The gaze was never kind. It wasn’t a joke, it wasn’t a throbbing curiosity about the guy in the girls’ dormitory, it was an expression that looked like a real stranger.

And they were monsters who had the power to defeat the monster at any time.

If this was just Korea, I would just ignore it and leave. However, in the ‘female wizard dormitory’, if you did that, you could really get fucked. Because all wizards are stronger than me. It’s perfect for screaming and dying if you move shyly.

Therefore, I decided to try to solve it through peaceful conversation.

“This is a misunderstanding.”

Why is a person a person They are human because they can communicate. Of course, all of these bastards here live in the same dormitory as Winia, so they might be outrageous psychos, but if you think about Bestie from earlier, in reality, everyone might be able to talk.

“Who are you?”
“No, so… Not that 10-year-old called Winia. It’s Winia’s friend who lives here in this room. He dragged me all the way here.”
“Winia’s friend? You?”
“Yes. Friends. No matter how psychotic you are, in the end Winia is also human, so shouldn’t you have at least one or two friends? Would you like to crawl into the lair with your own feet? But that bitch Winia beat me up and dragged me to carry her luggage her, but what can I do? It was forced, so to speak.”

I explained every phrase to make sense as much as possible. I licked my mouth like running water. The girls seemed to be convinced by that intelligent and coherent explanation. No, it’s like trying to convince. I thought as I held my chin in my hand.

“But men are not allowed in this dormitory.”

Nope, bitch.

What is this bastard doing right now?

“No, because Winia dragged me? She said he, she was kind of blackmailed. Then may she go back? No, she’ll go back. Good job.”

In fact, there was no need to talk further. Understand it or not, I have to get out of here. Without Winia, I am free. If you want to call the guards, call them, bastard.

I turned around as smoothly and naturally as possible, pretending to be having a conversation.

“Where are you going?”
“I am busy.”

The woman turned around and grabbed me by the shoulders. Is she quarreling with me now? Looking back with a frown, the woman hesitated. My wagyu is a bit like that.

ㅡPay!

Taking advantage of that gap, I just went down the stairs. He didn’t just run away, but he explained it properly, so the other side wouldn’t pursue him too seriously. Perhaps you have come to your senses by now.

“Wait a minute…”

And I’m going, but who’s stopping me?
Nothing in this world can compel me except Winia’s violence.

I managed to leave the dormitory while receiving all kinds of stars, but as I said, this was the magic tower area. And I’m still a beggar.

“Ah… Fuck. Winia you bastard is really…”

It had nothing to do with these high-end streets, and the mere walk made sweat run down my spine. There is a saying that clothes are wings, but I am just the opposite now. The clothes look like shit, so I also feel like shit.

“Wow, damn it.”

I tried to get out of the Mage Tower area as if I were running away. After running for a while, I saw the castle gate and the guards I had seen earlier. Judging by their outfits, they seemed to be hired people, not city guards. Then they had no authority to arrest me.

“Stop!”

The guard saw me, drew his club, and shouted loudly. I didn’t stop running. I ran with all my might.

“I can’t stop the urge dejaaaaa!!”
“Oh, no!”

I passed the guard and came out with a tremendous rush like that sprinter. He shouted something, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of pursuing me.

In fact, I hadn’t committed any crime, and there was no reason for me to be caught.

It was already the end of the day when I stepped on the ground I was so familiar with. It was really futile to see the sun go down. I don’t have a house, so I’m living a miserable life where I can’t afford to do anything, and the price of the inn goes up. It was so heartbreaking. And I was very sick to my stomach.

I should have worked rather than played. Wasn’t this kind of disaster happening because I was just trying to play?

Feeling regret to the point where my bones were cold, I headed straight for the adventurer’s guild. As we walked, the growing darkness signaled that the day was over. Bye bye my beautiful holiday.

ㅡWung Sung Woong Sung.

The night adventurer’s guild was noisy as expected. As soon as I opened the door, I heard the warmth of orange light and the noise of people living. I snooped inside and went to the window in moderation.

“Thank you for your hard work. E-class, do you have a job?”
“Hmm, wait a minute.”

The receptionist didn’t seem to be able to see if she had left work. Sitting at the window was a polite male dwarf employee.

“E-class, E-class… What’s your name?”
“It’s a cut.”
“Um… That’s a lot of failure records.”

The employee who was flipping through documents looked at me with a look as if looking at something petty. The expression with only one eye raised is quite humorous.

“I do. But what is missing? Anything is fine.”
“If anything is okay, there’s one right now.”
“Ohhh, what is that?”
“There is a guild that goes to Isvan, the next city, the day after tomorrow, and they say they are looking for a wagon escort. An E-class adventurer sets a daily wage of 12 coppers, so the total reward for 5 days is 60 coppers. Of course, the guild pays a fee. I’m going to withhold 10 Cooper.”

Isvant was a city right next to Krasheim here.

I’ve only heard of it, but I’ve never been there. I never thought that a quest like this would happen when I was thinking about going far. I had never done escorting a wagon at the top, but it seemed like it would be okay. It was because all I had to do was follow the wagon.

Besides, if the pay for 5 days is 50 Cooper, it seems that it will be just fine on average. But what kind of fee is 10 coopers eating? These fucking 10 thugs. I felt like my blood vessels would burst with anger. But did not express it.

“As far as Isvant? I’ve never been there, but seeing as it says five days, that’s exactly how long it takes, right?”
“Usually, would you like to? There’s still a little garden left.”
“Write, yes what. I have to do it. I will do it.”

If you don’t accept the job at this time, you don’t know when you can do it again.

I had to work harder than before to rebuild the lost credit.

And well, if you can go to Isvan and sit down there, that’ll be fine too. Then you won’t have to run into Winia anymore. I, Kim Katt, was a man who thought it was okay to make a fresh start in a new field.

“Okay, then I’m sure you accepted. Let’s see…”

Having said that, the dwarf employee pulled out something and handed it to me. It was a small wooden board with a certain pattern drawn on it.

“Take it.”
“This?”
“The day after tomorrow, before the sun rises, go to the western gate, find the Abner Merchant Guild, hand it over and they will accept an escort from the upper tier.

Is it like that?

In other words, outsourcing.

At the top, hand over the advance payment and the woodblock you made yourself to the adventurer’s guild and say, ‘Find someone decent. You just have to give the person who saved you this woodblock as proof.”

As I was looking at the woodblock paintings, an employee reached out to me. Maybe it’s because he’s a dwarf, so his hands were really thick. What? Are you asking me to check my palm? This bastard has no riches.

“Yes? What?”
“10 Cooper. Withholding tax.”
“Oh, damn it. That’s right.”

I took 10 coopers out of the insole of my shoe and gave it to the staff. Under the insole of the shoe is my emergency fund. I was dragged out by Winia this morning and came out without her wallet her, and I would have seen her blood her if I had n’t even had an emergency fund.

“Don’t forget. I definitely handed over the woodblock. Even if you misunderstood the time, lost the woodblock, or couldn’t attend the carriage escort due to personal reasons, the deductible of 10 Cooper will not be returned. The merchant will pay.”
“You’re not going to take the money, are you?”
“As long as you don’t talk dog, you won’t be able to get away with it. Here, dog talk means slowing down and running away.”

After accepting the request with that kind of feeling, I went back to the inn. Surprisingly, today was the day to return the book I borrowed the other day, so I suddenly felt like shit.

Even if I went now, when it was completely night, the library would have been closed. The fact that the late fee was a whopping 1 cooper seemed to cut my heart.

Wow, if the escort of the fucking upper tier was tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, the late fee of 11 Cooper would have been confirmed. 5 days to go to Isvant, 5 days to come back. So late fee 11 cooper. Thinking so gave me goosebumps.

Tomorrow I have to return the books and prepare for the outing.

“Inn man, please give me some food.”
“…”

I ate the cold soup on the first floor of the inn, which had become quiet. The innkeeper, as always, looked terribly tired, and the soup, as always, had no flavor.

And slept
