Chapter 329 – The Mutuga Guys

“Oppa… Thank you very much… I haven’t had a proper meal lately. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten so full…”

Lina, who hurriedly finished the meal without leaving even a single piece of bread, conveyed her gratitude in a tone that was almost moved and tearful. This baby… She has been starving a lot.

How hungry did he have to eat all of this?

Looking at Lina somehow reminds me of the past me.

“Yes. I ate well, so that’s fine.”
“It was so delicious. Thank you.”
“Young…”

That’s why I feel like I want to take care of it a little bit.

After all, I saw her grandmother die with my own two eyes. If you see something like that, you can’t help but feel weak.

—-Fuckin’ heretics bastards.

If it wasn’t for those bastards, Lina’s grandmother wouldn’t have become a ghoul. I also know very well the sadness of not being able to see her blood relatives because I was almost separated from her mom and dad.

Almost anything, Lina is like my little sister.

“Anyway, it’s Lina. You need to work with me to write it.”

Those bastards who stole my condolence money.

I was convinced that those pups were also pagans. It is impossible to do such heinous things except heretics.

Come to think of it, all serious problems were caused by pagans. It would be in the world’s interest to kill all of these damned seaphaloms as quickly as possible.

“A job… ?”
“Okay.”

It’s because I can’t just listen to Lina’s words and use my sword.

I need solid proof that the cultists took my money.

I plan to find out about it from now on.

“The bastard who stole your money. I’ll have to find that bastard.”
“Ah…But oppa. I don’t know where he is…”
“I guess so. So let’s find it together. You know the face, right?”

In the first place, there was no way that Lina knew the whereabouts of those guys. Once you find the bastard with Lina, then let her interrogate and pull out some information. I don’t know his face her, so Lina’s help is absolutely necessary.

“Yeah… I know. It’s not because he’s been taken away once or twice… He’s quite famous around the slums. But is he really okay? It’s just because of me…”
“It’s not because of you.”

What is this bastard talking about?

This is by no means Lina’s fault.

“This is the money I gave you.”

I mean it’s my problem.

“They took the money I gave them.”

Must be recovered

“Then it’s my problem. Lina. How did we make that money? Killing cultists and ghouls. Risking our lives to take the artifact, and then killing the evil giant. We finally got the money.”

Destroying those bastards in Eternal Life was definitely our achievement and prestige. It means that it belongs to a part of the life that I have built up.

He insulted our souls by taking away all our efforts at once.

It’s… Terrifying.

A human soul. And I could not imagine that a ‘human’ would be a being who could insult his personality and fundamentals of his to such an extent.

It definitely felt like a demon from hell, with vicious horns on its head… And red skin. I think this will be a rather difficult task.

The enemies I would face from now on were demons.

Demons are beings who have fallen into such an evil path that they cannot be saved even if any gods or saints come. Those who take human form but are not human are my opponents.

But.

I, Kimkat, the hemp, never run away.

I’ll make them pay.

“He insulted 1Q with all our efforts. And even our souls and lives. It’s not just a matter of stealing money.”
“Is that so…?”
“Yes. Well, it might be a bit difficult for you, a child, to understand. So you don’t have to understand it.”

It took me quite a long time to come to this idea. If I get a chance, I’d like to teach Lina about the doctrines of Fusion Confucianism.

Anyway, to explain it easily for Rina, this is the story.

“It’s simply about getting back what was taken and making them pay for it. Getting revenge, so to speak. Do you understand?”
“Yes… I understand from hearing that… Revenge… Then brother, what should I do?”

She said when Lina, who had just finished her meal and had a happy smile, turned dark again.

The more I look at him, the more pitiful he looks.

“It’s no big deal. Since I don’t know the bastard’s face, just walk around with me and find him. It’ll probably take a few days.”
“How many days…?”

When I mentioned the specific time, Lina looked at me with her eyes wide open.

Well, because Lina is an F-class adventurer who can’t even talk about her without work.

Of course, I plan to pay him a daily wage until he finds the culprit. So to speak, it’s the cost of work… I’m sure it’s not enough to get 5 silver back.

“Yes. During that time, I’ll buy you food and pay you a daily wage.”
“Bar, Bob and crew!”
“I’ll buy you a meal as if you just ate, and the daily wage is 3 coppers.”
“…Go, thank you, brother!”
“Instead, you must find it.”
“I know!”

Lina was overjoyed when she said she was giving money.

It seems that she has definitely been in need of a lot of money since she closed the pickpocket business. Or is that more money being taken away?

The appearance of Lina with her skin and bones intertwined reminds me of disadvantaged children in Haiti and Ethiopia.

Lina is probably younger than Elise.

“We must find it.”

I need to find and interrogate the person who stole the condolence money I gave him.

“I absolutely have to find it.”

If it turns out that the extortion of my money is true, then you just have to take action. How dare you do that to this Heavenly Demon? The moment the truth is revealed, all of you are as good as dead.

They are in a state of living corpse from now on.

“Yes. I will work hard…!”

Judging by her determined attitude of her, it didn’t seem like Lina was lying.

“Then let’s get up.”

I got up from her seat, paid her bill, and went outside with Lina. It is still midday. Midday is the perfect time to start working.

Let’s explore the slums from now on.

“Then shall we begin now?”
“From now on?”
“Yeah. Just happened to…”

…What.

Let’s meet Risha-sama and Karin next time. They will surely understand my cooperation.

I’ll search the slums for a while, so I might see Risha-sama.

“…There’s nothing to do. Don’t worry. I’ll pay you properly.”
“Oh no, I’m not worried about that.”
“Then it should be fine.”

On that road, I headed towards the slum again with Lina.

Hiding halfway behind me, Lina looked around intently, checking the faces of the people. I just walked slowly and waited for Lina to find her culprit her.

How many days will it take?

It probably won’t take that long.

If money is often taken away, it must be the sound of encountering it as often as it is. Although the slums are quite large, if you wander around for a few days, you will come across them in no time.

I passed through such a long and winding alley.

The full-fledged slums are generally ocher-colored. The half-collapsed building, the half-collapsed people… Even though we threw out all the 10 immortals, nothing changed.

No matter how heroic you have done, if you don’t change people’s hearts from the very beginning, there will be no change.

In fact, the lives of the people who live here do not change whether or not there is a permanent island. It will only fill the place of eternal life with other evil bastards.

“Ah, brother…”
“Why.”

At Lina’s call, she placed her hand on the handle of her sword.

“…”

As I looked around, several eyes were directed towards this place. The gaze was mainly on me and Rina… Do you know Rina?

“Are they your friends?”
“It’s not like that… It’s just that those people are thugs too. Maybe because I’m with you, I’m watching because I want something.”
“Okay?”

Lina seems to have sold her face quite a bit in her slums.

In other words, it can be said that he is no different from the ones they follow, but if he is hanging out with some kind of dark barbarian knight, you can’t help but be amazed.

“…”

Those guys don’t seem to be the culprits, so let’s move on.

There is no need to give caution to the target by probing and touching useless things. Fortunately, when I turned off their attention, the other side also turned off their attention.

I’m glad I didn’t have any unnecessary fights.

“How is it? Do you think you can find it?”
“We usually run into each other every few days… So I think it’s probably just a matter of time.”
“Right.”

I spent time walking all the way through the slums with Lina. Work began in the middle of the day, but in the end, the target could not be found as originally expected.

It is time for the sunset to fall.

Let’s continue tomorrow.

“Lina. Let’s do this.”
“…”

She stopped, reached into her pocket, and pulled out her change purse. He pulled out three of her cooper coins and held them out to Lina.

Come to think of it, it was extortion from my first guild member earlier.

“Take it. Today’s daily wage.”
“…Thank you, brother.”
“Thank you. Then see you tomorrow. Until tomorrow morning, is there a restaurant where we ate today? Come over there. If you come late, you’ll be left behind, so make sure to be on time.”
“Yes. I will definitely come on time.”

Lina’s face seemed to light up a little as she put her money in her pocket. I decided to give you one last piece of advice.

“And… If you can afford it, don’t stay there. If you have money, just stay at a regular inn outside the slums. You can stay overnight at a cheap place if you work cooper. Are you going to crawl there again and steal all your money?”
“…Yes. I will. Don’t worry. Goodbye, oppa.”

Lina smiled and bowed to her.

“You know some manners. Then come out early.”

After that, I broke up with Lina and came out of the slums. On the way, I was going to see Lisa’s face her and go, but it was too late, so I had to return to the dorm immediately.

What will Winia say if you go late?

ㅡPay!

She immediately kicked off the ground and ran. The sun hasn’t gone down yet, so I think I’ll be able to go in just in time.

ㅡ Tak Tak Tak Tak!

Even after running for a long time, the strengthened endurance her did not complain of fatigue. Arriving at the area where the inn is located, a familiar chest over there. No, I saw a silhouette walking.

Cloudy and Winia.

Where did you two go?

“Cloudy! Winia!”

Called together, the two answered.

“Kat?”
“Are you a bastard? You got out before us, so the timing was right?”
“Is that so?”

As we got closer and joined, Claudy put her arms around mine with snake-like hands and smiled.

“Huh, Kat. Really… Yesterday, I begged him to stop, but he didn’t even pretend to hear. Do you know how hard it was for me?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. No, but I didn’t ask you to stop when you asked me to stop.”
“I was thinking about the usual… Speed. I never thought it would run so badly.”

Cloudy had no choice but to beg for it because he showed signs of being irritated. Was it okay to say that…?

I think it’s because it’s a more friendly tone.

“You fucking bastard. How dare you treat me like that?”

Winia said too, putting her arm around her opposite arm her.

“I thought you were really fainting. Who wants to be so violent? Huh?”
“I’m sorry, Winia. I couldn’t help it because of the drugs. But after all, isn’t it all because of you?”
“That’s right.”

In any case, I felt the touch of her breasts on both of her arms, and the fatigue of the day was completely relieved.

“Kat, but what about those pauldrons?”

Claudy recognized the pauldron and immediately asked.

“I wondered when I would have noticed. I bought it today.”
“Whoa, it suits you very well. You really look like a warrior? You should have bought it a while ago.”
“Hehe, right? I should have bought some earlier.”

Winia, who heard that, also reacted.

“That’s right bastard. Did you go out today and sell everything you brought?”
“We sold everything except for our own.”

I paused for a moment, untied Winia’s arms her, disposed of the core of her nest her from her arms her, and took out her winnings pouch.

A total of 19 silver.

I handed it to Winia.

“Oh, how much?”
“19 silver. Other than that, I sold all the other equipment, but I bought this pauldron with it.”
“Yeah, we bastards did great. You packed it all up and left while me and her sister were sleeping?”
“Right.”
“It’s extraordinary.”

Taking her pocket, Winia took it for granted and tucked it between her own breastbone and her. What?! You mean that?! My head! They let me put my head in too!

As she was shocked, Winia crossed her arms again.

As she walked while talking, she arrived at the door of the inn before she knew it. I opened the door with the key and went inside.

The day is over.

Let’s go see Lina early in the morning tomorrow too.
