Chapter 48 – Turtle Soup – 1

How much time has passed

Trapped in a broken warehouse, Lombard passed the time.

The outer walls of the warehouse were thick. So, Lombard had no idea what was going on outside, and he couldn’t tell whether it was daytime or nighttime.

Coke! Coke!

A faithful escort knight of Denia, the Queen of Hearts.

Lombard coughed in the shabby space that did not fit his dignity.

Being restrained in such a space and having to cough, the anger towards the situation rose first.

“What the hell… “

Losing chess to a Balrog, and fainting for a while after being hit in the head by Florian. It was something that was not easy to accept.

Florian. He was at least aware of the fact that the name had been secretly notorious these days.

However, he did not think he was strong enough to beat Lombard. In a way, he was the result of acting arrogantly.

Shiiik—

After a while, the door to the warehouse opened. The light streaming in from outside was so dazzling that Lombard frowned for a moment.

“Who is it? Let go of this for now! Hurry!”

Lombard shouted with all his might, but there was no answer. The light leaking in was so dazzling that it was impossible to see the other side from one side.

However, even in such a situation, the headband in the shape of rabbit ears was clearly visible. Unexpectedly, it was Ellis who first visited Lombard.

“Tohihi~”

To be honest, the sound of laughter that belongs to the lucky side. Lombard’s expression crumpled.

“Hey, hey. Release this.”

“Knight~ Our Clover Knight~”

However, Ellis did not even listen to Lombard’s request. Rather, she gradually closed the distance while singing Lombard in a voice that tickled.

“Did you really think you were a great driver because you listened to the driver’s voice every day?”

“…Let’s solve this first and talk about it! Aren’t you afraid of Queen Denia?”

“Yes. Aren’t you afraid? Tohang Port~”

Then he took off Lombard’s helmet and was surprised.

“Oh my God, he was a muscular man? I was startled. I was startled.”

Around that time, a bunch of other subordinates came in behind Ellis.

Iron desks and iron chairs are placed, and even bloody tools such as iron knives are placed on the desks.

Lombard asks, widening his eyes.

“What, what are you trying to do? What are you trying to do?”

“Education~ Educating the spoiled driver~ And short negotiations?”

Tohihi. Ellis met Lombard’s eyes and smiled.

“By the way, why do you keep talking half-heartedly? Are you still not sure where you stand? Since you like chess, I thought you were quick to notice.”

“Hey, you fucking asshole bunny!”

Lombard groaned.

“Leader. Bring your captain I’ll talk to the captain myself, so bring the captain!”

“Eh~”

Elise shook her head and drew lines all over Lombard’s body with her wand. Then black mana remained on it like ink.

“Why don’t you know that this is what the master ordered me to do? You should have been with me to talk. In a way, he’s someone I can’t communicate with at all.”

Elise clapped her hands, and each of her men picked up knives, saws, etc., Which lay on the iron desk, and approached Lombard.

“Hey hey hey! What are you trying to do? Make a single wound on my body! The Queen will not stand still!”

“What do you say~ Is there a queen who stays still all day? Of course you must do something.”

Alice quietly whispered in Lombard’s ear.

“… But shouldn’t she be concerned about her own life first? Tohanghang.”

Tohang Port. The laughter suddenly sounded more creepy than ever.

Lombard looked up at the eyes of Ellis standing in front of him. The red eyes glowed brightly in the dark.

Ellis, the lady of pleasure caught in madness. She was now realizing that the name was not her false name.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’ll negotiate well with the captain. I will do as you say, face-to-face.”

“No no. After you’ve been punished, you’ll be able to meet them naturally~”

“Bur, bee?”

“Mister Lombard. I will live smartly in the future. Shall we reborn as a smart human who is unconditionally loyal to the master and go see it?”

The words to be reborn as smart people sounded like a phrase to Lombard, ‘Let’s live as fools from now on.’ Cold sweats began to break out all over my body.

“Now, wait a minute. Fuck this! Hey!”

“Okay then~”

Elise turned around to discuss something with her men.

-Injection? Alright, I’ll give the injection myself.

-That’s right… Are you okay. The owner will restore it anyway.

-This is why you have to be careful, just enough to hang loosely when you slice it. Don’t let it cut all the way through.

There were only creepy stories. Lombard’s body began to tremble.

Ellis took a syringe and she approached Lombard.

“Tada~ This is an anesthetic~ Oh my God, they give me an anesthetic for torture. It’s our master’s idea. Aren’t you being so kind~?!”

“Sir, fuck… Sorry. Sorry. Because I was absolutely wrong… Please… Call the captain.”

“No, no. Not until that stupid head gets smart~”

The needle pierced Lombard’s tender skin all too easily. Elise whispered quietly as she placed the anesthetic on the nape of his neck.

“Hey… Do you still not know how lenient Master was only with you?”

Lombard I listened to Elise’s story while trembling. I was afraid that the needle would dig even a little deeper.

“I will tell you this story. It happened at my mansion.”

“Ugh, ugh… “

The rate at which the anesthetic spread was rapid. It was bizarre because all the senses in the body were dulled, but only sight and hearing remained clear.

“I used to have my own secretaries too~ Those friends were also bad-mouthed. Did he die so brutally that he couldn’t even take his corpse before he could even pray? How many times did Mr. Lombard talk arrogantly? Let’s see… “

Alice folded her fingers and pretended to count her numbers. Then, she made eye contact with Lombard and smiled.

“…You should be punished~? Tohanghang.”

Lombard barely nodded. He said he would die if he shook his head now.

Elise brushed herself off and stood up from her seat, then gave instructions to her men.

“Since the line has already been drawn, cut it here. Cut it over there.”

◈

It was quite difficult to discipline Tyr.

– I want you to release this! Chew!
-Again.
– I want you to release this!
-Again.
– I want you to release this.
-Again.
-Can you release this…
-Yes.

It wasn’t Tyr, it was me. It took a long time and it was difficult to hold back my anger because I only gave verbal admonition without using force.

A captain who takes care of the same executives so as not to stab their hands.

I am so generous. If it was Elfriede, he probably would have pulled out his tongue first.

Anyway, this time I moved to the next warehouse. Soon, Alice must have completed her Lombard education.

“Let’s see… It was said that Alice would educate her… Hmm?”

A somewhat shocking landscape came into view.

Bloodstains were scattered around the tied Lombard, but what was even more brutal than that was his physical condition.

All the limbs were cut in half. Should I say that only the sheath is deeply cut?

For example, my wrists were barely sticking together as if they would fall off at any moment.

“Ugh.”

I immediately activated the stigma and restored Lombard’s body. Then, he kicked Alice’s butt, who was sleeping next to her, to wake her up.

“Kyaheuk?!”

“What is his condition like?”

She replied as Elise rubbed her ass.

“I gave you some education… Aren’t you going to act arrogant now?”

“Okay?”

If that statement is true, Elise saved Lombard. She was going to kill her if she was a little more arrogant.

… But is he alive? Let’s look here and there at Lombard, where I’m drooling with my mouth open.

Elise opened her mouth, smiling brightly with a more satisfied expression than ever before.

“Master, do you like it?”

“What.”

“My master entrusted me with research on a cure. So~ I ‘cured’ Lombard this time. Yes. Therapy.”

“I think you need to wake up first to know.”

As soon as I finished my words, Alice tapped her Lombard’s knee with the tip of her toe. Then Lombard opened his eyes while making a heo-eok sound.

“…”

Lombard looks at me and Ellis alternately. But he said nothing.

I waved my hand in front of him.

“Hey, Mr. Lombard. Can you come to your senses?”

“…”

But this time it doesn’t answer.

“What is this? Didn’t you do something strange, Alice?”

“Oh, can it be? I only educated you on what was absolutely necessary to serve the real master!”

“Then why are you not talking? Hey. Lombard!”

I tapped Lombard on the shoulder several times.

Then Lombard finally opened his mouth.

“Tohei. Hello, master.”

“…?”

Mr. Aw Goosebumps.

◈

With Lombard unknown if it was broken or fixed, we immediately continued the operation.

In each knight’s residence, there is something called the 『Mana Network』. It was a state-of-the-art magic that could transmit the voices of each other by intertwining invisible solid lines of mana.

I swatted Lombard’s bald head.

“Dia Knight Grinder. Call him.”

“Yes, yes. Master.”

“Say what I told you to do. I memorized it, I couldn’t memorize it.”

“I memorized everything.”

As soon as the mana contact network was executed, the connection with the other side was reached.

[ What. Was the bastard hitting? Or was it less beaten? Would you like to be beaten to dust in the great grove? Who are you balrog, why are you using all the mana contacts? ]

What came from Grinder’s side was the elf’s unique, elegant voice. However, the words used were very harsh.

“Uh, me. It’s Lombard.”

[ Lombard? What. Why did you contact the Balrog Girl? ]

“I-I’m sorry for saying this so suddenly, but could you help me? I lost to the balrog.”

[ What? What? ]

“I lost to the balrog. That’s why I’m in danger of being beaten to death now.”

[What… Are you kidding me? You lost to the balrog? Are you sick ]

“Be serious. I’ll be sure to ask you. Please come just once.”

[It’s really something to live for a long time, no, how can I lose to the balrog? Anyways ok I thought Instead, there are conditions. ]

“Condition?”

[Yes, that’s what I said I wanted before. Make a fountain in the shape of a diamond. ]

Lombard looks at us. I nodded.

“Uh… Yes I will Instead, please come as soon as possible.”

[Yes, yes~ No, how could I lose to a balrog? ]

With those words, Grindpinder cut off all contact.

◈

“What happened? Just build a fountain.”

I nodded in front of Tyr, who was still tied up. But Tyr shook his head sullenly.

“No.”

“Are you talking back?”

“I’m not talking back. I’m saying this because it really doesn’t work.”

Tyr continued to answer while touching.

“Actually, when I build, I use my unique ability called 『Architecture』. This is a job that requires a lot of mana, but I was tied up here all day today. So you can’t use it?”

In short, it meant ‘I can’t use it because you tied me up because it’s fucking like shit’.

I calmly nodded.

“Yes, Tyr.”

And grabbed her hair.

“That is… You mean it was a ‘unique ability’?”

I guess you don’t have to build it yourself.
