Chapter 525 – Useful Guy

The warehouse area, located in a remote area, was dark but still smelled of people. Here and there, I see men with fires and groups of people burning cigarettes.

ㅡIt is quite wide.

We followed Hildegard and went deeper. The more you enter, the less people there are, but you can still see a few people. Are they assembly attendees?

“Anyway, it looks like the assembly attendees. Let’s have a rally today in a little deeper place.”
“That’s right.”

It was dark, so the warehouse area felt almost like a maze. If you are not a person who works here, you will get lost.

When I went inside completely, I saw people gathering in front of me.

“Is it over there?”

Cloudy said.

“Yes. I think it’s over there… I can feel demonic energy nearby. Katt-nim, are you going to kill me as soon as we get there?”
“No. Let’s investigate first.”

You can’t catch the tail unless you kill it right away.

Of course, it would be easy to chase down all the demons with Hildegard’s ability, but they would notice if their partners were suddenly killed with sausages one after another in the yard where they had something called a head.

In the worst case, you may close your business and run away.

I need to beat as many demonic bastards as possible, so that’s difficult.

“Everything I said was true…”

Hildegard lowered his head as he spoke as if he had become depressed.

“It’s not like that, but you have to find out what these bastards are doing and kill them.”
“Ah! Did you believe me now!”
“Because I believed you, be quiet.”
“Hee hee hee.”

The meeting place was a fact, so I said I believed it, and Hildegard, who was excited again, laughed.

“It’s fucking blatant. That’s it. It’s not nice to look at.”

Winia said to the excited Hildegard.

“Yes. I’ll keep quiet.”
“Ugh…”

The guy replied politely with a smile on his face.

Anyway, the people who were hanging around nearby were entering the building in front one by one. Shall we go in soon? I saw a man like a guard standing at the entrance. Looking at the silhouette, it is large.

“Hey, Hildegard.”
“Yes, Neet!”
“Do you have any qualifications to get in there?”
“I think it’s limited to human workers. But since I’m there, there’s no problem. People like that can’t withstand my hypnotic magic.”

Like this fucking daemon.

“Let’s go.”

I immediately approached the building with Hildegard at the fore. After watching a few people enter, I stood in front of the door.

“…Three women?”

The guard, who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, looked at us and said:

“Where are you from? The waiters at the tea house?”
“Shut up.”
“What?!”

When Hildegard naturally made the hand sign, the guard lowered his head. — Jureuk. He vomited out words in a fit of muttering like someone on a drug.

“Uh, uuuuu!”

What did you do that your kid became this shit?

“What did you do?”
“It’s nothing special. It’s the hypnotic magic you saw last time. You’ll come to your senses soon, so go in.”

This kid is versatile.

We entered the building with a free pass.

As we entered, some kind of underground staircase greeted us, and from the inside, orange lights and people’s voices could be heard. After all, if you’re going to have a meeting, you have to light a fire in the basement like this, it’s a legal concept.

Went right down

“…More than expected?”

Winia looked around and said. The basement was wider than expected. The building was probably used as a warehouse. It must have been storing logistics in the basement. Since it is currently empty, it seems to have been chosen as a meeting place.

“That’s right.”

And as wide as it was, there were quite a lot of people. Owing to the sparsely lit lanterns and torches, the appearance of the attendees could be seen, and it was obvious that they were living a difficult life.

The clothes are old and everyone looks tired.

This reminds me of the time when Elise and Young Saeng also went to the meeting site. Of course, the workers here are diligent enough to be incomparable to the poor at that time. Unlike those who have no hope or will, they have the will to work.

But what is Elise doing for a living these days?
It is frustrating because there is no means of contact.

Perhaps the neighborhood is buzzing with demons, so he must be working hard with his Crusader friends. In other words, it is the peak time of Daemon, so it is the busiest time.

ㅡWung Sung Woong Sung.

Anyway, the scene of the meeting was noisy.

As there are many children, the noise is also loud. I dug into the corner holding Claudy and Winia’s hands. I went to a corner and covered them with my body.

Just looking at it, there weren’t many women, so it seemed like it would stand out.

“Oh, Kat. Are you trying to protect Mama?”
“Of course.”

In the first place, Cloudy and Winia catch her eye too much.

Pink hair can be seen in both men and women, but I’ve never seen a purple one. Both of them are beautiful enough to be seen for the first time in my life, and Winia’s breasts are so big that her aggro her is attracted wherever she goes. Even if she wears a hood, her beauty cannot be hidden.

“Me too, I want to be protected by Katt-sama. Can I go back?”

After putting Cloudy and Winia behind me, Hildegard said,

Fuck protection. What I’m not hitting you right now is protection.

“If you see kids crawling out next to me, let me know.”
“Yes!”

After waiting for a while while looking around, someone appeared from the podium.

—-Silence.

As a signal, the buzzing noise subsided in an instant.

“…”

It is quite miraculous that even the military barbarians can remain silent to such an extent when they cannot close their mouths if they are gathered together and given mental training.

It means that the attendees regard this meeting as important. If this is the power of the devil, it must be quite dangerous. Even though it is a world where superhumans exist, it would be difficult if the number of masters gathered like this.

“Greetings, city heroes.”

The man who stood on the podium looked around at his audience while talking about catching a floating cloud.

“Oh, oh oh!”
“Long live the workers!”
“Hurray!”

Then cheers erupted from everywhere. Are they windbreakers? As soon as a shout erupted, the cellar was filled with shouts, as if it had been contagious.

“Oh shit, that’s fucking noisy.”
“Kat-sama. That human borrowed the devil’s power.”

Hildegard whispered softly in my ear.

“You borrowed the power of the devil?”
“Yes. You may not be aware of it, but you’re capturing the hearts of humans with just a few words right now, right? It’s probably because you received your power. I’ve been thinking that from the beginning, but I think it’s a case of the devil approaching?”
“Okay?”
“Probably somewhere in this basement, I’ve drawn a power-amplifying jinn. With this kind of atmosphere, a little faith, and words, it’s easy to take control of the lowly. Demonic powers are involved.”

What you say is almost professional.

Hildegard This guy seems to have collected better quality information than I thought.

“Do you know anything about that bastard?”
“He’s a man who keeps giving speeches, so I’ve been looking into this and that. It looks like he’s aiming for the position of mayor of this city. He borrowed the devil’s power and wanted that position, and he completely screwed it up .”

This was Hildegard’s evaluation of the speaker.

Seeing the rather poignant part, I believe it to some extent.

Well, as expected, there is nothing the devil can give other than strength and power. It must have been used as bait to roast and boil him. Standing on the podium, he silenced the people and then licked his lips while talking about today’s message, education, and all.

“Today too! Today, too, the heroes of Oudeville sacrificed themselves from morning till night to contribute to revitalizing the city’s economy! Even if their bones are sore! Even if their muscles complain of pain! And even if they are tired! The heroes overcome everything and You’re here! Only for the well-being of the city!”

The reaction was quite enthusiastic, probably because he said it quite plausibly.

“Ohh! Yes!”
“That’s right!”
“Long live Audeville!”

However, what they did was just to earn money, and I don’t think they did it for the well-being of the city.

It’s just a sense of community or something like that, I guess.

The ripple effect of the speech seemed to be enormous because of the atmosphere of the seat. Originally, there are some things that are weak when people praise them.

“Oohhh!”

Perhaps this mass of workers at the rally believed that they were truly sacrificing for the city.

That’s why I’m afraid of people who are good at opening their mouths.

A baby that will only float around if drowned is the most dangerous law in the world.

“But! Today, all the heroes got was an insignificant first class salary! You sacrificed your life and body! Even though we could have had a fuller meal if we did!”

Fuck this!

That’s right!

Adventurers Guild Bastards! Give me more money!

“That’s right!”
“That’s right!”
“Dog bastards!”

Workers were enthusiastic, each bursting with swear words.

“Fuck you motherfuckers! Ningimi, fuck you!”

I also shouted along with them, criticizing the absurd society. Adventurer’s Guild Gives More Money! As I was screaming, Winia stabbed me in the waist.

“Bastard…? What are you doing?”
“Camouflage. You can stand out if you stay still.”
“Ah, that’s right. I thought the stupid bastard fell for it again.”
Hehe, can that be?”

It was a joke.

“It’s all because the mayor of the city is incompetent and corrupt! We must resist! For our rights! For the workers’ world! Guys! Give me your strength!”
“Waaaaa!!”

The meeting ended in such a frenzied mood.

What on earth is the mayor of this city being elected for? Maybe vote? But there is no such thing as voting rights for workers who are poor enough to attend rallies.

Well, if you get fanatical support from a lot of people, there might be meaningful results, but… I guess I need to do a little more research.

“Kat, let’s go.”
“Draw.”

Quite a bit of time has passed. We mingled with the workers and quietly slipped out of the basement. The workers, in pairs, went to the bar, sharing their views on their grievances.

“Hmm.”

Looking at it, it seems a bit serious.

At first glance, the other world I live in is an alien demonic realm full of blood and flesh, but it is quite peaceful.

However, with the last Demon Gate incident, he is a redneck in hell. No, operatives infiltrated en masse.

They are united with the idea of ​​​​using this opportunity to turn the human world upside down and take care of their own interests. This case won’t be the only one here… There are paladins, but the troops are lacking.

Maybe something big is going to happen soon.

Manipulating people in this way to create something resembling a religious group would be quite dangerous. Whatever it is, the group with a suspicious purpose is a boss. Demons might devour such an organization at the crucial moment.

As soon as demonic forces intervened, something resembling a cult was created in an instant. I think this needs to be quelled early.

It is a story that must be included in her report to Saint Cadia.

When writing a report, you need to inflate this case as much as possible and make it a big fucking deal.

“How is it, Katt-sama? Seeing it in person, it seems like a big deal? If you solve this big problem, you will definitely receive a big reward.”

It sounds natural.

“Fufufu, if you receive such a reward, even for a moment, please think about me.”
“I’m still grateful.”
“Oh, I’m more grateful that you said that. Anyway, what are you planning to do from now on?”

Once the cellar is completely empty, you have to go back down and get some sort of physical evidence. I should also write down what I saw and heard today. And the person who borrowed the power of the devil would not be the only bastard.

“We need more investigation.”
“Then can I come back tomorrow at the same time?”
“Do that. There’s nothing more useful than your help right now.”
“Uh-huh! Thank you, Katt-sama! Then see you tomorrow!”
“Oh, wait. After a while, I’ll go down there one more time and check it out.”
“Yes, yes. Are you looking for evidence? Just trust me.”

This is helpful.

Standing behind the building, soon people completely disappeared.
Let’s go down now.
