Chapter 79 – City of Pern (4)

We finally arrived in the city of Perne.

You can see the figure of the prisoner you were looking forward to.

I got off at Minercia near the city and moved toward the city entrance.

There were many people, or rather prisoners, lined up at the entrance.

And there were many different types of prisoners that caught my eye.

Two types of human forms were seen: one with dog or cat ears on top of the head and a tail behind it, and the other in which the animal walked on two legs and had human hands.

I’ve seen a lot of people with tails on their backs through Yuria, but seeing them with ears on top of their heads and moving them up and down looked really cute.

I had the urge to go closer and touch his ear, but I suppressed it as much as I could.

Because you can’t do something like that here.

“Wow! They look like beastmen. They look similar to me, but they also look like monsters!”

Yuria seemed more excited than usual, perhaps because she was surprised to find someone with a similar appearance to herself.

“That’s what a beastman looks like. It looks strange.”

“I agree. Some beastmen might kill you if they meet you by mistake in the forest, thinking it’s a monster.”

I thought the same about what Lien said.

Especially look at that beastman with the lizard head.

It looks like a lizardman that often appears in the fantasy world. If I meet the wrong person at night, I might swing my sword without realizing it.

We went to the end of the line of people.

“It’s a good thing I got the certificate from Aria.”

Before parting ways with Aria, I had asked one favor.

That is, we were asked to make an ID card that would guarantee our identity in the Kingdom of Brittinya.

Although you have to create an ID every time you summon a new character, it is cumbersome and cumbersome to keep creating it at the Adventurer’s Guild every time.

Moreover, ID cards for Rien and Renia have not yet been created.

This time, we will be summoning a new character, but I thought it would be okay if the country guaranteed that our party was not a harmful group, so I asked Aria, and she said that there was usually an award given to someone who did something great in a crisis situation in the kingdom.

When I asked if he could give it to us, he received permission from King Brittinha and handed over his identification card to me.

It is said that this ID card has been treated with special magic so that no one can impersonate it.

Does it contain the magic of God?

To me, God here feels like nothing more than an incompetent being, and I can’t believe it.

Still, thanks to our ID cards, we were able to enter villages other than the current city of Perne without any problems.

It’s really worth seeing the guards who look at us with a sinister look on their faces, but as soon as they see our ID cards, they are startled and turn their heads.

The Pern city guards were no different.

We confidently entered the city of Perne.

“Then let’s look for the equipment first. Do you know where it is, Ellie?”

“Unfortunately, we do not know the exact location…”

Do you not know the exact location this time?

In the elf village, equipment was displayed in the village square so it was easy to find.

Although the Void guys took some stuff.

The more Boyd thinks about it, the angrier he becomes.

If you interfere again this time, I will do whatever it takes to uproot it.

“According to research, it is said that an unknown monster appeared here in Pern about 200 years ago and that a human killed it.”

“This is a pattern. After all, it is the god here who summons the people of your world to save the world with demons.”

If you listen to it, it’s always the same pattern.

The appearance of an unknown monster means that a demon has appeared, and since the people here cannot stop it, they summoned a character from the game here and defeated the demon.

People here don’t know that.

Did you know that the elf village was an exception?

“Then what kind of demon was this that appeared here? Did you know that?”

“Based on the description of the monster, it appears to have been Goliath. There were records that it had the impression of a gigantic giant and that one of its arms was abnormally large, so it was dragged around on the ground.”

“Hmm… Then I guess it’s Goliath.”

Goliath is a level 60 boss monster that looks like a huge human being, and as Ellie said, one of its arms is abnormally large.

There are many attacks that cause damage to the character by swinging the arm in a normal pattern.

Instead, when it first came out with simple attacks and slow movement speed, it was a boss that only had a lot of blood and was not very difficult.

This is because the precursor phenomenon before the pattern appeared was so slow that it was fully visible.

“You mean that the person who dealt with Goliath was a thief? It must have been easy to catch him because of his perfect compatibility.”

Most thief classes have fast attack and movement speeds.

If it was Goliath, it would have been very easy to catch.

“Yes, the problem is that there is no record after that.”

“Huh… It would be nice if it fell comfortably in front of Jinu’s eyes.”

After hearing Ellie’s words, Renia sighed and said.

We walked around the city to choose an inn to stay at.

Puck!

“Ouch!”

Suddenly, I felt a shock to my lower back and looked down to see a young prisoner with cat ears falling backwards.

He probably bumped into me while walking.

“Kid, are you okay?”

I said, holding out my hand to the kid, but she got up on her own, shaking her butt.

“That’s it. Just look straight ahead.”

Then he ran past us.

It definitely felt like he came and bumped into me…

No way…

“Leen? You know what I’m going to say, right?”

“Yes, my lord. I will catch that little boy.”

Lien quickly disappeared in front of me and quickly caught up with her little boy who had just passed us.

“Let go of this! What are you doing? I’m calling the guards! You can’t let go!”

I spoke in a low voice as I looked at the little boy struggling in Lien’s hands.

“Hey, kid? You know why I caught you, right? Give it to me when you have something nice to say…”

Yes. This guy was a pickpocket who stole my wallet.

While Lien went to get it, I searched my pockets and found that my wallet, which was supposed to be sleeping, had been kidnapped.

This is a cliché that comes up very often, but I never thought I would experience it myself.

“W-What are you talking about? I don’t know anything!”

This little boy is still yelling that he doesn’t know anything.

“Really? You better give it back to me? Otherwise, I don’t know what those sisters behind me will do to you?”

I pointed to Eli, Yuria, and Renia standing behind me.

“Hi!”

Even without looking back, he must be making a very scary expression. I even feel alive.

The pants the little boy was wearing started to get increasingly wet.

It seems like he felt like he was dying and urinated without even realizing it.

“Well, I was wrong! Please just spare my life! Here, my wallet is here!”

The little boy who had been complaining a little while ago that he had done nothing wrong immediately took my wallet out of his arms and handed it to me while crying.

I snatched the wallet the kid held out and checked to make sure nothing was missing inside.

I thought I got my wallet back, but in fact, the contents were lost to prevent another incident from occurring.

When I checked, all the money in my wallet was there.

“Nothing is missing. You can let go now, Lien.”

Now there is nothing left to do with the kid.

But Lien did not loosen her grip on her little boy.

“Sir, I think you know this city well enough to pickpocket. How about letting this guy do it?”

“To that guy?”

As Lien said, this guy seems to know much more about geography than those of us who first came to Perne.

But can we find it well using this guy?

I turned my head and looked at Ellie, Yuria, and Renia standing behind me.

“What do you think? I think it makes sense.”

Everyone who heard me thought carefully and Ellie spoke first.

“I think it’s a good idea too. Let them investigate and make sure they can’t escape.”

“I agree too.”

“I think it’s a good idea because there is an element of recycling in trash, too.”

Everyone agreed with Lien’s thoughts.

“Um, um… I wonder what you were talking about earlier…”

Lien The little boy in her hands is trembling as she listens to us.

It seems like fear is rising deep in my heart because I don’t know what we will do.

“Don’t worry, we’re not trying to get you to die. I think we’re in this relationship because you stole my wallet.”

So why did you steal my wallet?

“Please just save my life!”

“Be quiet. First, take us to the best inn in town.”

Lien said as she let go of her little boy.

The little girl tried to run away as soon as her feet touched the ground, but her path was quickly blocked by the spirit summoned by Renia.

“Hey! What is this again?”

“Won Cham, don’t bother me, kid.”

The little boy who was blinded by her spirit was eventually captured by Lien again.

“Yes…”

In the end, she appeared limp, probably because she knew she could never escape.

“So, what do you want me to do?”

“First, find me a lodging. I’ll have you search this city.”

The little boy in Lien’s hand laughed his head off.

“Search? Are you looking for something? I think it’s dangerous for an outsider to suddenly be looking for something…”

The little boy looked worried, but I have no intention of making him do something that would put his life at risk.

“You just have to find what we ask you to find. Simple, right?”

At my words, Lien put down her little boy again.

“I don’t have a choice anyway… I just look for it.”

“It’s good that you’re not stupid. If you try to run away one more time… Are you really going to kill both the mouse and the bird without them knowing?”

Certainly, even if you run away, it will be impossible to escape from these four people.

Even if you run away and hide well, it seems like you will easily find it.

“I asked you to find the accommodation first, right? Follow me…”

The little girl led the way with her slumped shoulders and we followed behind her.

Since I definitely had to pickpocket to get around the city, they quickly found me a place to stay.

“The Starlight Inn here is considered one of the best lodgings in Fern. But it costs a lot of money, so is that okay? I came here to guide you to the best place…”

He is trembling because he is afraid that the accommodation he chose might not be to our liking and be ruined.

But now I don’t have to worry about money.

In addition to the money extracted from Aria’s request, the money doubled as money from the arena was already earned enough.

So much so that the idea of ​​trying to make money through a request from an adventurer in the past was meaningless.

It feels like I thought I should get a salary and buy a house, but then the stock hit jackpot and I was able to buy a few houses.

As we entered the Starlight Inn, an employee greeted us.

“Hello, sir. How did you arrive?”

“I’m thinking of staying here for a few days. Is there room for all five of us?”

Oh, there was a little boy too.

What should I do with this guy? Should I just leave it outside and call it when I need it?

If you do that, you might end up flying somewhere, and looking for it is a waste of time.

I stopped the waiter who was trying to introduce us.

“Wait a minute. Can there be 6 people including this guy?”

“Um… If it’s a shared room, that’s possible. Would you like me to guide you there?”

When we entered the room that the waiter showed us, there was a huge bed and all the necessary items were there.

I also liked that there was a shower room in the room.

“Looking at you paying that large amount of money without hesitation, it seems like you are not ordinary people. Are you really saving my life…?”

As we entered the room and unpacked our belongings, the little boy knelt down in the middle of the room and looked at us and said.

“It’s cute to see you say this. Jinu! Can I have him be your errand boy?”

“Errand boy? Doing chores?”

After hearing what I said, Yuria nodded her head.

Well, since the number of people has increased, it would be convenient to have someone to do small tasks like this.

“I… What is that…?”

The little boy who heard us opened his eyes and looked at us.

“Congratulations. You will give yourself a special opportunity to be of help to Jinu.”

“It is truly an honor. Please be grateful.”

The kid heard Lien and Renia’s words, but he doesn’t seem to understand the situation yet.

“Wouldn’t you have saved my life if I just helped you find something?”

“I was going to do that, but Yuria said she wants to take you with her. She thinks she’s hiring you and will give you money… How about it?”

I said looking at the little boy.

“I don’t like it! I’ll keep living here!”

I interrupted the kid and took out 1 silver.

“I’ll give you 1 silver once a month.”

“I was thinking about it, but I think it’s time to get out of the way!”

As soon as I saw the money, I immediately bowed down and accepted it.

Even 1 silver is a huge amount of money for a kid who used to pickpocket all day long.

Although it is impossible for me now with very little money.

“Then wash yourself now. Don’t give off an unpleasant smell to Jinu.”

When it was decided that he would join our group, he must have been outside for a long time, but his hair was dirty and his body was very dirty, so it smelled a bit when we walked around together, but when we entered the room, the smell seemed to get much worse.

That’s why Ellie looked at the little boy and told him to go wash up.

It had been so long since the little boy had washed that it took a long time for him to wash everything.

Since I couldn’t remove all the grime on my own, Yuria went in with me and scrubbed me hard with a towel before I finally got it clean.

I didn’t know that the little girl who came out after washing up was a girl and had a cute appearance.

When her purple hair was curly, I thought it was short, but it was just rolled up and roughly tangled, and after washing it, she had long hair that went down to her waist.

I thought it was cute to see the cat ears on her head fluttering, as if she felt good after washing for the first time in a long time.

She also thought that it must have been very difficult for her to live outside with her body that looked like she was just 10 years old.

“So, kid, what is your name? You can’t keep calling me kid.”

“They called me Cherry.”

Cherry? It’s the same as the fruit name.

“Yes, Cherry. Please take care of me in the future.”

“Yes! Uh… What should I call you? I heard you call them by different names.”

I thought about it for a while and called what I thought was reasonable.

“I hired you, so call me boss.”

“Yes! Boss!”

First of all, I decided to sleep for a day and start looking tomorrow.

It would be nice to find it tomorrow.

So I lay down in the center of the bed, and Ellie and Lenia lay on either side of me.

Of course, I specified it.

Cherry said she should sleep on the bed, but she said four people shouldn’t sleep in the same bed, and she said Cherry said she could sleep on the floor.

She thought there was no need to be considerate, so she decided to do it, and since there were cherries, she decided to endure without sex today.

I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.

And I was able to hear a voice for the first time in a very long time.

【Jinuni, can you hear me?】
