Chapter 696 – Paladin Kimkat

“You say you don’t have to give it, so you want to give it. Anyway, since you said you did well, I’ll believe it. I hope you don’t betray my trust, boss. Still, wouldn’ t it be nice to live here as a boss?”
“I-I do…”

The boss was more useful than I thought.

So, I guess I can live while eating my own boss. Although the original slum ecology is a bit fucked up, if you sit at the head of an organization somewhere, you can make a good profit in your own way.

So, it cannot be eradicated.

It is human nature to sit there at all costs if there is a place that makes money.

“Maybe they will come back again. If you know something, write it down and pass it on to me.”
“All right…”
“But what exactly is the place marked here, so people gather?”
“That’s all well… But weren’t you looking for a place where ‘many people’ gather? So I just looked for the most likely place.”

You must have found the most suspicious place.

“You don’t know what you’re doing?”
“Yeah… But aren’t you looking for something fishy… Like that?”
“It shouldn’t be.”
“These are the most suspicious places when I thought about it. Originally, people who believe in strange religions also gather like that.”
“A strange religion? Could it be that they are pagans?”
“This, pagans…! I don’t even know that much. Poor people believe in a variety of religions… But if you look at the fact that the city doesn’t eradicate them, wouldn’t they be pagans ?”
“That’s right, but.”

But. Since it is a polytheistic world, all kinds of religions, beliefs, and teachings are prevalent. The poor often cling heavily to such things.

Above all, it is a place where religious freedom is recognized.

Even if it’s not a recognized religion, there are really a lot of things.

In terms of the globe, there are many such things as Christianity, Buddhism, Catholicism, and Zoroastrianism, but there are also people who believe in Confucianism, and what kind of Taoist practitioners, or what, they practice Taoists in the back mountains. Devoted to the spirit of nature. If you sleep with a fan on, you will die. Folk beliefs, indigenous beliefs. Because there are many people who believe that.

There are divine beings in another world, and there are even magic in mana, so that kind of bizarre tendency is even stronger. It was to the extent that there were retreats, religions, sports, worship, and meetings to awaken the mana in the body.

Even the Brass Angel Society has not grasped all of these religions. It’s only natural that an investigation will be conducted only when there is noticeable damage. There are also things that are too messy.

“Okay, see you next time.”
“Yes. Take a look…”

Anyway, once we figured out the location, shouldn’t we go there right away?

Of course, it may not be here.

Whether it’s meetings or education, there will be places where people gather. Meetings are not wholesome. It is a natural act for people to gather.

That’s why it’s not very reliable data, but I left the building satisfied.

Still, at least something like this is necessary for the investigation to progress.

It is said that Hilde has hypnotic magic, but it is virtually impossible and dangerous to target all people wandering the streets and cast magic.

We should start by narrowing the scope down a bit.

“Let’s go, Hilde.”
“Yes!”

I immediately went to the place marked on the map with Hilde.

*           *

I investigated, interrogated, and searched around the four districts with Hilde, but I couldn’t get any information that was particularly paganistically meaningful.

Anyway, all meetings were held at night, and they were all closed at this time. Still, when I asked some of the nearby merchants, they seem to be aware that people are gathering.

Still, after checking it roughly, one place was simply a meeting for mental training while cleaning some kind of crystal ball, and the other place was like an office that a new criminal organization had recently taken over.

I’ve been robbing gangsters’ fortunes like taking coins out of a piggy bank.

The other two were located on the border between the slums and the general city, but they were closed, so I couldn’t do anything.

“Bastard, is that why you’re back now?”
“Uh. I’m going to look around the rest of the place tomorrow. I’m thinking of going out again at night.”

After roughly finishing the schedule, I returned to her lodging her and told them what I had found out. Everyone was inside because I informed them in the morning that they would come soon.

“Is that so? Where is the location of the rest?”
“Oh, sister.”

I showed Karin the map right away.

“Hmm, well. I go to a lot of places, but there’s no need to let me go alone. My sister will visit here once and see.”
“Oh, are you okay?”
“Whether it was knighting or mercenary, it wasn’t just fighting or sabotage. Would you do anything more than play if you stayed here anyway? I’ll go with Liz.”
“Yes? Are you moving with me?”
“Are you fucking good?”
“Nu, whoever likes it… Then let’s do it. Rather than play anyway, it’s better to just do some research. It’s better to finish the job quickly.”

With their help, we can do it faster.

“My noonas are so trustworthy…! I feel like I’m going to cry because I’m so grateful!”
“Of course it is. Anyway, investigation is new again.

My whole body trembled with gratitude.
It would be perfect to finish it quickly, turn around, play at home, and then report it.

“Hmm, then the original woman will help too. Let’s see her map her.”
“Oh, Lisha. I’d appreciate it if you did. Are you okay?”
“Fufufu, there’s no particular problem. Isn’t she just a simple detective? She’s a natural woman, and she’s good at investigations as well.”

Such a characteristic.

“Of course, it’s something we don’t do right now… But if we work together with Cloudy, Winia, and Ari, wouldn’t it be difficult?”

If you look at the combination, it is literally a destructive party machine.

“Okay. Let’s go with Lisa. Are you okay?”
“Eh, it’s okay. She’s never done an investigation or anything like that, but since Miss Li Xia says that, there shouldn’t be a problem.”

Whether it was Cloudy, Karin, or Liztina, they all specialized in combat. Still, as expected, Risha is used to this.

Said Karin, brushing her lips.

“Come to think of it, I first met our witch on the battlefield.”
“That’s right. She has been doing this and that, and the investigation was also included in it. Isn’t she a warlock? Of course.”

Really trustworthy.

Each of my women can be said to be the best in their field of her.

“Then Katt. Are you going out as soon as the sun goes down?”
“For now.”
“Fufufu, as expected, I’m sincere, cut.”
“I’m a sincere man, Kim Katt. Ah, but I’m really worried because I’m just going to send them all away.”

Thank you for helping me, but my heart trembles so much.
Women who are twice as strong as me, what should I be worried about?

“Miss Risha knows a lot of things. There’s nothing to worry about. Hmm, now that I think about it, it would have been nice if she had learned magic. It’s a pity that she’s a half-elf.”
Hehe, why are you learning magic when you’re so good at cutting swords?”
“I don’t know when fighting, but when it’s like this, isn’t Katt helpful?”
“It’s because there’s no problem. What about a woman who cut off even the Great Devil?”

Anyway, after taking a short break and discussing what to do, starting with the sunset, we put on robes and went out as a group.

Now is the time to split into three.

Hilde with me
And Karin and Riztina.
Finally, Cloudy, Winia, Lisa, and Ari.

The party composition is murderous.

Once there was nothing suspicious, I decided to join right away. Well, it’s efficient to look around all suspicious areas in one day.

So, each of them moved their steps to the place they had decided.

Hilde and I will go back to the place we went to in the morning, and the other wives will go to a new place.

It would be nice to catch something here.

“By the way, Mr. Katt.”
“Hmm? Hilde why?”
“Who is the strongest among Katt-sama’s women?”

As she was walking, Hilde asked such a thing.

“Is it strong?”
“Yes. I always feel that, because everyone is really strong. Who is the strongest? Oh, of course Katt-sama is also strong.”
“I’m not even a jab. But what about strength?”

It’s a bit ambiguous, but according to what Cloudy and Karin talked about in the past, it was said that it was impossible to conclude who would win in a match between the two.

Both of them know how strong the other is, but after all, you won’t know until you actually fight. More than anything, it’s not even between the two of them fighting for death.

—-Human mana has a very wide variation.

The majority of people have none, but a lot of people are so fucking powerful. Karin is like that. Karin spews sword steel with only the mana in her body. Despite such specifications, his swordsmanship of hers is top-notch, and his combat experience of hers is abundant. That is what made her strong.

Anyway, in that sense, if we look at the average of the human race, would the amount of mana be ‘medium’?

Elves generally have a lot of mana, so it feels like they are classified as ‘prize’. But half-elves are a little different.

Cloudy explained that he was born with mana, but he couldn’t accumulate more than a certain amount. There is a racial defect. And the deterioration of physical ability due to climate or situation is also frequent. Ah, this is also true of elves.

Half-elves usually grow strong quickly to a certain extent. However, due to the racial mana limit, it is almost ‘impossible’ to grow beyond that. That’s why Cloudy is a scary woman.

Anyway, her only downside is the amount of mana she has.

Significantly lower mana amount compared to overwhelming force.

That’s why Cloudy prefers to just ‘kill the opponent’rather than face-to-face in her battles her. She likes duels, of course, but that’s just Cloudy’s taste her.

If Karin and Cloudy fight… After all, you won’t know the outcome.

“I think Cloudy and Karin are similar, and Liz-noona is a little lower than that. I fought last time and lost to Karin.”

Liz noona is a little lower than Karin.

“Huh, is that so? It’s similar to my feeling. Then what about Risha-sama?”
“Risha isn’t a battle mage, so I don’t know.”

I know she’s a great warlock and witch, but Risha said she’s not an expert in combat. Still, she seems to be very scared if she does anything… The first time Karin and Lisa met was also a battlefield.

“Winia-nim and Ari-yang? Who will win if we fight Katt-nim?”
“Why am I fighting with my girls?”
“No, I don’t mean that. Do you simply want to know who’s stronger? Of course I’m weaker than Katt-sama! But if Winia-sama and I fight, it’ll be a lot of trouble.”

Ariya, right now, I’m at a level where I don’t know how to do anything.
It’s different from the real Alaune.

“Because Winia is a wizard who has built her skills through battle… But I’ve never really fought a battle wizard like that, so I don’t know.”

Winia’s magical powers her are at a considerable level.

Since she has been fighting for a long time, her combat operations her are also very good. In fact, as long as she has her support her, she will have no problems with any battles. A warrior capable of avoiding fire bolts that are fired almost instantaneously and that fly rapidly in succession?

I am not confident that I will be able to avoid it 100%.
And a single hit would be fatal.

And what about chain lightning?
Can I cut through or dodge that lightning?

Of course, it is true that Winia is lower than Lisha.

“Uhuhu, anyway, to make all of those women his own. Katt-sama is even more amazing! The most wonderful man in the world!”
“This feels so good.”

Anyway, after chatting with Hilde, I was able to return to the site where I had been around in the morning and during the day.

The search was quick because it had been there once.

There was no problem where the fixers were, and the criminal gangsters I had robbed earlier had disappeared. The other two places were just like clubs where people met and had fun.

“Fuck, fuck.”
“Let’s go join first. There might be something over there.”
“Let’s do it.”

That’s how we headed towards where Claudy, Lisa, Winia, and Ari went. Because it was closer than Karin’s.

But when I arrived, it wasn’t there.
When I checked, this was just a place to study something.

“I think it went to Karin’s side, right?”
“I guess so.”

When I went straight to Karin’s, Hilde gave me a specific location.
Heading right there, there were girls in robes gathered in a corner.

“Ah, there’s my husband.”
“Uh. Sister. What did you find?”

Karin came over and said.

“It was only confirmed roughly, so I can’t say anything about it as a pagan, but first of all, they were holding something similar to a religious meeting. Seeing the money talk, I was intrigued.

Oh fuck.
Was the place Karin went to the correct answer?

“That’s fucking perfect. Then I’ll be the least conspicuous, so I’ll check it out next time. Thanks, sister.”

I think I’ll just have to secretly catch one of the people who come out while I’m washing air with Hilde, check it out, and attend the next meeting.
