Chapter 436 – Devilish Guys

I got into the futon and squeezed the fairy’s necklace.

The hands contained the children’s hopes and aspirations. When I put strength into his fist his with a desire close to that longing, his hand his began to tremble.

ㅡTspat!

Soon, a bright light leaked from between his hands.

Of course, it wasn’t as bright as the LED bulbs, but it was bright in its own way, and I felt like I could find my way in the dark of the forest without even moonlight.

—-Latras’s necklace.

In the end, after contemplating between Undine and Latras, I chose the flashlight. Because I have more things to do at night than purify polluted water.

It is better to choose the one that can be used more. Because that’s what tools are. I always wished I had a flashlight, but the reason why I never needed a separate portable water purifier is a big reason.

After I made up my mind, Lisha enchanted the fairy necklace with the light attribute in just one day. When I held onto it with gratitude and poured out love, it became a mess as usual, but it was a double happiness that I woke up earlier than I did and served breakfast.

The remaining spirit cores were useless, so I went with Winnie and sold them all. I was extremely satisfied with the price of 40 silver when I sold all five together.

It was more expensive than expected.

The reason for the high price was that there were not many mid-level spirits nearby.

Hehe.”

Anyway, this necklace will come in handy as my flashlight in the future.

It is said that it can be used semi-permanently as long as it is not damaged because the name color is a combination of the core of an intermediate spirit and the necklace of a fairy.

In other words, it is a rechargeable, and Latras is a light attribute, so even if you let the sun light during the day, you can shine for several hours at night.

I have no words to describe it other than to say that this is a solar-powered flashlight.

However, since it is a necklace in the first place, it is smaller in size and easier to carry than a flashlight.

This is a really convenient item.

You don’t have to carry it around, and you can just wear it like a necklace, so you don’t feel the weight. The light is bright and the battery lasts a long time.

As expected, artifacts with magical powers were really convenient items, just like those of modern scientific civilization. I think it would be great to have a refrigerator at home. Well, it is said that there is something similar to a refrigerator, but it is said that it can only be found in the kitchen of an aristocratic family.

“What are you doing under the blanket by yourself? If it’s a daughter, don’t you just ask your sister to touch it?”

Karin lifted the blanket while she was fidgeting with the necklace. Today was a holiday. The other wives left the three of them, saying they were going to the grocery store, while Karin said she was tired and stayed at home.

“Why am I beating her daughter?”

I never hit my daughter except when I sprinkle it on Alaune once every two days. Because she has four wives and she does n’t have to waste her energy her.

This is a completely male lion.

“Then what are you doing?”
“I’ve been trying out this necklace. I think it’ll be really handy to use when working at night.”
“The one that Risha made? It must be convenient. Anyway, let’s grab a knife and go to the backyard. You say you’re working hard these days because you want to pull out your sword skills?”
“Did Cloudy tell you?”
“Yes. Well, I’d like to tell you how to do it too, but swordsmanship is a matter that really depends on an individual’s capabilities. Still, it’s a husband’s job, so as a wife, you should help, right?”

I immediately threw down the blanket and took out my shorts and put them on. You cannot miss training even on holidays. It would be great if Karin would look after her at home.

“Where can we sweat and have sex with my sister?”
Hehe, you know what I want very well!”
“It’s like a cute baby. Follow me.”

I went straight to Karin and her backyard her.

It will take a while to go shopping anyway, so let’s play with Karin in the meantime.

*  *  *

Like this, my daily life was a repetition of doing one or two jobs a week, training in between, taking a break in time for the swordsman guild’s holiday, and going back to work.

In fact, weekends are weekends, and it was not uncommon for wives to let me go. Except for when I go out to eat once or go to the market or go shopping, I am suffering from infinite fixation. My back is broken, so I’m doing stallion work.

In any case, he spent his time dutifully building his career by handling the things that happened around the city and completing commissions from other wizards and alchemists.

Nothing special happened.

Hunt the group of monsters that appeared, collect materials, etc. I managed to get through the transition from D-class to C-class. There were times when I went alone with Winnie, times when we went together with Cloudy and Winia, and times when I went alone.

Of course, there were no strong enemies appearing in any party.

It was very peaceful. No, it was never a peaceful thing for a group of monsters to appear, but that much didn’t matter to me.

Is that why?

Although he continued to slash monsters and build up his skills and experience his, there was no progress in terms of mana. Increasing the amount of mana also felt stagnant at some point.

While cutting, he tried to fight while keeping in mind the expression of his sword skills his, but there was no income.

Just in case, I stopped by the library and looked for some books, but there is no such thing as a library. Even if you read the autobiography of the heroes, the training scene comes out as roughly skipped, fuck.

It was just a story about killing everyone and succeeding, but I think I read one because it was so fucking fun.

The end of summer has come.

I don’t know when the C class will be available. I’m steadily building my career, but it’s only been a year since D-class. The time of 1 year was a bit short for greater credit.

“Is the bastard out and about?”
“Uh. Do you need anything? I’ll get it when I come.”
“Hmm, there’s nothing in particular. Are you going to the guild? Good-bye.”

I left behind Winia, who was reading a magic book, and came out.

Originally, I should have just found a job yesterday and went out, but there was no good job, so today was just a day off. But since it’s morning, I should go out to the guild. Cloudy is sleeping.

Since she was kidnapped by a harpy the other day, Winia tends to be a bit overprotective of me, but as she continues to work together, she seems to have faded a bit. Recently, she often goes to work alone.

He was doing it mainly when Winia’s magic research was in full swing.

ㅡ Jerking and bucking.

Walk straight to the Adventurer’s Guild.

You have to walk for about 30 minutes or so. Pedestrians are busy moving around, and carriages are also running. I haven’t seen the Copson kid lately, so I don’t know if he’s doing well.

Will you be there today?

I’ve had a lot of work lately, so I’ve been making stable money, so I’ve been repairing my equipment and buying new ones that I don’t have. Breastplate in Qualified Armor now. And the gauntlet and pauldron are properly installed on the greaves.

If I had a little more money, I might be able to buy plate armor.

As for the weapon, I use the black iron longsword I received from Karin, so I don’t really need to change it, so I can focus on my armor.

Anyway, we arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild.

And I saw a familiar face.

“Isn’t this the Barbarian Shack!”
“You’re not fucking Copson!”

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Mr. Copson. I thought for a moment what this bastard was up to, and it dawned on me that his equipment was in pretty good shape.

“What is it? That armor?”
“Are you curious? Oh, my mouth has been itching to tell you this for a while, but I can’t see the Bavarian Shack!”

Copson grinned and stuck out his chin. I don’t know what the hell he’s doing, but he seems to want to brag anyway.

Hehe, I was just doing well. No, I don’t think you saved money faithfully, did you win big at the gambling house?”
“No fuck, I was going to tell you first, but how the hell did you find out!”

It seemed to be the correct answer after a rough guess, Copson shouted as she had a fit.

This bastard had been struggling all this time, and he finally seemed to have won his share his at the gambling house.

“Damn it. Look, barbarian. If a person seems to want to brag, then you should just listen. That’s common sense, common sense. Nice to see you after a long time, but what the hell is this?”

His equipment his had turned into fairly decent ones.

First of all, wearing a good-looking sword, iron breastplate and even a gauntlet, it seemed that he could go anywhere and become a gangster.

“That’s right, but it’s a bird, that’s doing it to women. I don’t have to be considerate.”
“Somehow you’re persuasive. Anyway, let’s go get some breakfast.”
“I came to eat.”

Lisa-sama dressed it up and left.

“I’ll just eat the fuck.”
“Draw.”

More goes in anyway.

We went to a nearby restaurant and ordered food and beer. The beer came out as soon as it was ordered, and Copson grinned as he gulped it down.

“Cluck, cluck, I was really lucky. It’s the first time in my life that I’ve had such luck. In one shot, I bet the money I’ve accumulated so far, and I hit the jackpot, something. I won five times as much.”
“You’ve got so many babies.”

Somehow, it seemed that her skin had improved a little, and the luster of her hair her had become stronger. Five times is enough.

“So I was thinking of making money by gambling with it again, but I had a feeling that it would go bankrupt, so I set up all the equipment first. It’s been used up.”

Once the word ‘investment’ was used in gambling, this bastard was destined to fall. She sees gambling itself as an investment, so there is no way she can quit.

“The reason is a bit like an asshole, but yes. Well done. Fighting power comes from equipment.”

While talking roughly like that, we looked at each other’s current situation. It seems that Copson is also working hard as an E-class adventurer. But even this bastard seems distant from taking a D-class. Because it’s a year-by-year thing. And intermittently failed quests once in a while.

“So, how are the barbarians doing?”
“I’m a D-class, so I’m just doing fucking work. But more than that, after a while, looking at your face, I had something I wanted to ask you.”
“What? Are you going to ask if there’s anything special? There’s nothing I can’t do as long as you buy me food.”
“Sir, order whatever you want to eat.”
“Oh!”

I ended up buying food for Gri Copson.

I don’t have much money because I spent all the money I won from gambling.

Of course, if you buy me a meal and listen to the stories of the world, it’s no different than a loss, let alone a gain.

“Hmm, should I call it a dungeon, but there was news that an old mansion was found in the deep forest that took about three days here. Well, suddenly a mansion is fucking suspicious, doesn’t it? But it seems that some guys went there.”
“Mansion?”

A mansion was found deep in the forest?

Well, since the forest is so rough in this neighborhood, it may have been neglected like a villa that was built in the past.

But it’s a city and a village, and it’s completely outside, so it must be really difficult to build a building? Could it be that there used to be a village nearby?

If so, look around and you might find something.

“Anything else?”
“I assume you know this, but haven’t there been a lot of imps being discovered lately?”
“What the fuck imp? What are you talking about?”

Don’t gossip and listen to it for the first time.

“It’s true rumors are dark. Anyway, there are a lot of imps appearing in the vicinity. Priests and nuns are raising their voices saying that it might be an ominous sign.”

Imps were beings that were said to come from Hell or the Netherworld, and they were evil monsters that felt like they were being treated vaguely similar to some kind of spirits. Well, there are also sayings that it should be included in the demon species, but I don’t know.

The only thing he knows is that he is a weak and small monster that he has caught even Kim Katt from his days as his as a sucker. If you go deep into the forest, you can often encounter them.

In the past, when I went to a dungeon with Elise, Copson, and Meria, I also ran into a hellhound.

Other than the fact that imps look really ugly, there’s nothing special about them, so they’re often killed by adventurers.

They seem to be beings that eat corpses or survive while eating them, but one thing that definitely looks like them is devilish, so among adventurers, they are nicknamed ‘heralds of ominous events’.

“Well, it seems that there are quite a few drunkards who say that the end is coming. Perhaps they want to be compensated equally for the life wasted by drinking as the result of the end. Other than that, there is nothing special about it .”

Said Copson, who gulped down a beer at once.

Impra.
