Chapter 19 – Upper Escort

I aimed at Xylo with the intention of pulling out a knife if I had to.

He said he didn’t like people, but there must have been a reason why he kept arguing. That’s why it’s not good either. The adventurer society is doomed if it is looked down on once. In particular, a bastard like me stood out so much because of his appearance that once he got caught, he was fucked.

In fact, there is a high probability that this bastard approached me after seeing my appearance like that.

“Get out of here, you bastard.”
“Don’t do that…”

I had never seen a religious bastard and a sane bastard.

It was like that in Korea, but what a different world it would be. Seeing this sudden approach in the middle of work, it seemed highly likely that there was a fanatic who wanted to spread the gospel or some kind of criminal purpose under the guise of religion.

Doubt is the virtue of adventurers. This bastard named Jylo was, at first glance, a pseudo.

“Have you ever experienced discrimination?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Kat must be from Mir Kesha. You can tell by looking at her dark hair and eyes.”

Mirkesha refers to barbarians living in the nomadic countryside.

They are called barbarians in vulgar terms, and are characterized by their black hair and eyes. I just happened to be like that, so I’m just saying that and living like that. Note that some degree of discrimination exists.

But what does that have to do with anything?

Seeing them suddenly talk about discrimination, I can get a sense of what nonsense they are talking about.

“So what?”
“If you join our Cheondohoe, even if you are a cursed race, you can receive salvation. Our God treats all living beings equally with all humans…”
“What? Curse? What the fuck is this fucking bullshit?”

Saying that, Xylo was refreshing and smiling. He was as innocent as if she had no doubt that she had a great offer for me.

Seeing how he can laugh like that even after arguing about curses and arguing with people like this, it must be that this bastard is such a crazy bastard that even the average psycho can’t even give out his business card. When she suddenly got into a fight with her prisoner, her anger flared up in an instant.

Suddenly, my voice rose.

“This baby, let’s listen, so I catch all the people in the color of the person.”
“Our Cheondohoe does not discriminate between race and origin…”
“Nindi lost.”
“I don’t mean that.”

Unable to bear it any longer, I drew my sword.

Since ancient times, hawks have been medicine for crazy babies. It had to come to an end. If you put up with insults, isn’t it perfect to become a Hogu? Of course Winia is an exception.

Anyway, just looking at it, it is clear that if I endure insults against an opponent who is shorter and smaller than me, I will never lose.

“No, it’s fucking shit.”

Jylo hesitated at the intimidating atmosphere. She didn’t even seem to be aware that she was in trouble. It would be nice to take this opportunity to see some of the bitterness of the world. After giving it a rough beat, you should take everything you have.

It is a kind of tuition fee.

“There! What are you doing!”

As I pulled out my sword and got into my stance, a man from the upper ranks approached me screaming. Seeing how much his face was distorted, he seemed very angry.

It may be a distorted face by nature, but making fun of people for what they look like is a bad thing. Well, if the kids who came as escort fight with each other, I don’t think I’ll be able to forgive them. He cried out in anger.

“If you’re going to cause a dispute, go back now!”
“No, it’s not like that.”
“Didn’t you try to fight now!”
“Yes? Do you fight? What are you fighting for? I just asked you to look at your posture.”
“Look at your posture?”
“Isn’t it nice if adventurers share each other’s skills? This guy seems to have a bit of a knack for swords.”

I responded to the man with a hehe smile. Coming from the other side, it’s very likely that he didn’t hear our conversation and he simply saw me draw my sword.

After opening his mouth properly like that, the man turned around as if he understood. Fortunately, Jylo was shutting up to see if he knew the subject.

“Anyway, let’s go! Break is over! Wake up everyone!”

The break ended at that signal. I took one glar at Xylo and then sheathed his sword. He said he would not give up and went back to his seat.

“Come back next time.”
“Crazy.”

What did you get stuck on?
Why do you think I’m only tied up with strange cubs?

After that, nothing else happened. It was still the first day of the journey, so the road was well maintained, and there was no battle. Because of this, my feet were comfortable and my mind was relaxed.

Occasionally, small wild monsters suddenly appeared, but they were often frightened by the human group and ran away.

There are no wild animals in this world. There are no good rabbits, raccoons, or wild boars even if you wash your eyes and look for them. Instead of wild animals, monsters are taking their place. It might be simply calling an ‘animal’ a ‘monster’, but I’ve never seen a normal animal here.

Just looking at the horses pulling the wagon right in front of me, they were subtly different in appearance from the horses on Earth. For convenience, it is simply called ‘horse’. Although it sounds like words to my ears in the first place. Roughly, it feels like a monster trained in nuance…

Even livestock are viewed as monsters.

Anyway, today was just a walk. The day is over if you walk all morning and walk all afternoon, disregarding the signboard that says escort mission. Daily wage is 10 coopers. If you calculate the daily consumption of the dry amount bought roughly cheaply, it is about 1 copper, so you can earn 9 copper just by walking.

Excessive gait is the main culprit of cutting the knee, but what if my nose is three feet? You have to make a living doing something like this.

I chewed dry rice while walking. If you eat ‘dry’, which is a food for preserving these hard and salty English hairs, you will be able to fill your stomach, but you will suffer from fear that your stomach health will be ruined. Along with the innkeeper’s soup, it is a representative food eaten by people without money.

Extreme taste that shortens lifespan. Still, the poor could survive only with this. It seems to have all the nutrients in it.

“We’re going to camp here.”

The middle-aged man in the green hat from earlier said so, as if he had judged that the sun was setting and he could not go any further.

The wagons stopped and the coachman and the caravan’s servants quickly began preparing for camp. While lighting a bonfire, I really just prepared Ayeong in a fuss.

Well, the adventurers were simply gathering among themselves, lighting a fire, and preparing for a group homeless trip.

“We need to set a night watch, so adventurers, please come this way.”

Oh damn, I thought that was it.

At those words, the adventurers sighed as they approached the wagon.

There might be an attack by something at night, so keeping watch was a necessary measure to save life. There were many expressions of dissatisfaction with the loss of sleep time, but since everyone understood the importance of it, it seemed that they did not express it.

It was in the contract terms in the first place. If you refuse to stay vigil, you won’t get paid. If it wasn’t for this, it would have been a good thing, damn it.

“Let’s see the vigil… Five teams will suffice. Each group will have an employee belonging to the upper tier as the leader, and an adventurer as a team of two. We’ll only have to pick five out of ten.”

Only five out of ten? Then there would be a 50% chance of getting a good night’s sleep. As if everyone had the same thoughts as me, I looked around at the people around me with the bizarre expressions typical of foolish people who are about to gamble their lives.

“Of course tomorrow we’ll put in those who didn’t keep watch today.”
“Write.”

Well, in the end it will be like this.

However, since it was evening for Sammosa Jo, it was definitely a good thing to eat three acorns in the morning and four in the evening. Likewise, it is common sense to just take a break today and do it from tomorrow on tiring work like night watch. That is, cognition.

Even if I woke up after searching, it seemed that I would not be able to stand up for the night. Whatever happened, it had to be put off until tomorrow. It was usually advantageous in many ways to postpone this to a later date.

“I’ll ask. Who will stand first today?”

I said that with my voice as high as possible to create an intimidating atmosphere.

Please anyone listen I’m so fucking tired today, so I just want to sleep with my wife and wake up tomorrow. I was nervous and looked around, but to my surprise, two people raised their hands. It was a brown-haired man wearing a uniform, probably a martial artist, and a bearded man carrying a two-handed ax on his back.

“If you’re going to do it, you’d better do it first.”
“I agree.”

Hearing that, I was about to laugh.
I laughed at them inwardly.

They seem to be ignorant bastards, but if someone were to follow them tomorrow, fall behind, or disappear, they would regret so deeply that they would shed tears for volunteering to stay on watch first. When there were fewer people, the people who did it had to do it again.

Misfortune can happen at any time, so it’s better to do everything later. And two more idiots who were inspired by those words came out, so I only had to pick one.

Only one out of six.

Deathmatch risking life.

In this case, rock-paper-scissors is perfect, but unfortunately, it was impossible because these cubs sometimes play rock-paper-scissors as they please.

We know it as jelly with fists, jji made with scissors, and par with open hands.

When I found out that Sampakkyu was equivalent to a fist, I was so shocked that I even fainted on one occasion. Even the rules are different depending on the region and the hometown, so there was a case where four people made different fucking hand shapes at the same time, but all of them were mook.

“How to decide, it’s not possible to draw lots.”
“Let’s do what the person who said it does.”
“Good idea.”
“What kind of bastard is that talking bullshit?”
“It’s me.”
“Don’t fight.”
“Please calm down.”
“Then you’d better do it.”
“What do you do when you say that?”
“Everyone be quiet for now.”

Indeed, befitting adventurers, a profession with a high percentage of amsangs, the atmosphere has already started to deteriorate.

It was Agwi-do where grown-up adults, at best, didn’t want to stand up first during vigils, and were fully prepared to resort to violence if necessary. This is why education is important. Among them was Jillo, but he just stood still, closed his mouth, and stood still.

I got a good bastard.

Why don’t you just stay still after arguing with me?

“Hey, you do it.”

So I told him outright.

“…”

He listened to me and stared straight into my face. To think that a bastard who was talking about God would throw himself out first at a time like this.

“All right.”

Surprisingly, Jylo, who readily acknowledged it, turned to the four who volunteered first. The other adventurers who were able to sleep smoothly today looked at me as if they were looking at something amazing. This is the savage Ganji, oh.

“Instead, you should listen to me tomorrow.”
“What the fuck.”

With the 5 night watch set, all that was left was to spread out and sleep. After catching a suitable place to sleep, spread Narasi, pick up grass, lay it down, and then just lie down and sleep.

This is what an adventurer’s sleep is like. Anyway, I had the warm quilted armor and the newly bought cape. This is good enough.

Compared to the time when I first fell into a different world, when I was sleeping in the back alley of the city, this situation now seemed like a bed. It was a time when I was struggling for real survival itself, so compared to that time, now it’s just heaven.

I lay down and looked up at the sky, and the stars were fucking bright. Because there was no pollution, the real stars shone brightly. Above all, it was blinding because there were three moons. One large moon and two smaller green and purple satellite moons.

I couldn’t stand the fact that this was a different world that looked like it was separated from reality, so I turned around and lay down to sleep.

Living in another world is a real dog shit.
I don’t want to be homeless…
