Chapter 20 – 20. A Man Under Ejaculation Control.

Reason, a small town belonging to Baron Gertong.
The wagon of the White Rose has arrived in Reason.

It was the result of running straight ahead without taking a big break.

“Come out one by one.”

Even in small towns, thorough inspections were conducted.
It’s a worldview where black magicians often commit terror, so this part was very strict.

It was also the reason why groups such as adventurer guilds and mercenary guilds could endure without disappearing.
The guarantees of the people who joined the guild, that alone made the guild meaningful in its own way.

Check the IDs of the mercenaries and adventurers, followed by the hero Ashe.
The procedure was completed by holding the holy sword.
I don’t have anything, but as Ash’s colleague, my status has been guaranteed.

─ Pass!

Reason’s guards shouted.
The carriage of the top of the White Rose enters the city.

The White Rose Merchants Guild went on.
Write a guestbook at the Merchant Guild Reason branch, and head to Baron Juteron.

Dropped us off on the way.

“Hero, it was an honor to be with you.”

After bowing politely, Prim drove away.
Seeing him getting farther away made me feel nostalgic.

It’s as if they’ve become attached in just two days.

“Let’s go, puppy.”

Ash grabbed my leash and led me.
Although he was liberated from the chastity belt, the dog collar was still there.

‘… I don’t really have the desire to escape.’

Was it because of the tremendous thing called Jeongjodae?
The idea of ​​’around’ a dog collar dominated my head.

He clung to Ash’s side and followed him.
The holy sword that Ash is carrying on his back has elevated my status to the point where I have been devoured.

The gaze felt and the emotions contained in it are different.
Feeling a sense of reassurance, he clung even closer to Ash.

Ash led me out looking for an inn.
It was lunchtime, so it was difficult to find a carriage right away, and it was ambiguous to go to Poston, where Baron Gertong was staying, so I thought of staying overnight.

“Maybe it’s because the city is small, there’s no decent place.”

As I muttered that and was about to enter the inn with a rough signboard, someone ran this way.
Upon discovering the hero, he hurriedly approached him, grabbed Ash by the leg, and hung on.

“Hero! Warrior… !”
“…”

Ash, who was about to pull out the holy sword, frowned and glared at the opponent.
An elderly woman with gray hair knelt down in front of Ash and prayed.

“Hero! Ha, please help me for once! My granddaughter is gone, please… !”

Ash removed his hand from the handle of the holy sword and shook his leg slightly.

“Ugh…”

Reason’s grandmother couldn’t stand Ash’s power and fell away.

“Is your granddaughter gone?”
“Yes, yes!”

The lady shook her head, not knowing that Ash had pushed her away.
The violent shaking of the head, the messed up face, it seems that the sense of loss that has been eradicated so far is transmitted to me.

I looked at Ash.
Will Ash go to help this grandmother?

If it’s the original Ash, I absolutely don’t care.
I don’t care who dies or not.

But now Ash is different.
I spent my life before regression and set a new goal.

“…”

Ash felt my gaze and asked softly.

“How will we do it?”
“… What?”
“Help me?”
“… ?”

I don’t know why you are asking me this.
I’m just a man with no strength, wearing a dog collar and a leash.

Her grandmother stares up at me.
Desperation was seen in his eyes.

In this worldview, kidnapping is very common.
In a world where slave traders were openly active, this was nothing.

In addition, even the black magician rushes to save the sacrifice.
No matter how meticulous the inspection was, it was impossible to stop the warlocks.

People in this world know it well.
Finding a missing person is like picking stars from the sky.
Because of this, most of them give up.

“… Please…”

If it’s ten, it’s likely that it’s already dead.
Because the black magicians would have pulled out only the demons and burned the corpse.

However, the old woman in front of me prayed with hopeful expectations.
She couldn’t let go of her lingering feelings for her granddaughter.

Ash looked away from her grandmother and looked at me.

“What do you want me to do?”
“… What to do…”

If you can help, it is right to help.
I learned that.

My personality is extremely selfish by nature, so it’s not my taste to just step out and help others.
If possible, I think it’s right to lend a hand.

Ash has power.
I can’t be sure because I didn’t ask in detail.
I don’t know if it’s because of the experience of the previous episode, but it seems to be much stronger than the original timeline.

If Ash steps in, the disappearance case may advance.
There is a person who wants help within arm’s reach, but there is no reason to ignore him.

“I will do whatever you want, I will.”
“…”

Ash said sincerely.
I respect your opinion and intend to abide by it.

“Yo, warrior… Please help me just once. Please relieve this old man’s sorrow… !”

Her grandmother knelt down and begged.
Up close, she had a skinny body.

Where did the power to jump earlier come from?
Was it that desperate?

“… If I can help, I think it’s better to help…”

Looking into Ash’s eyes and speaking out, hope shines in her grandmother’s eyes.
There is no certainty that the hero can rescue her granddaughter, but at least it will give her a clue about her life and death.

Ash looked at me and giggled.

“What can I help but not help?”
“… It’s each person’s choice, so there’s nothing to say.”
“There is nothing different about dogs, as they were then and now.”
“…”

Who is Ash seeing through me?
It’s probably the first playthrough’s dog.

What did he do that he was able to capture Ash?
I don’t know the answer at all.

“Okay, let’s go find her granddaughter.”

Her grandmother’s face brightened slightly.
Ash asked, pulling her grandmother to her feet.

“Grandma, when did your granddaughter disappear?”

Her grandmother got up with trembling legs barely off the ground.

“Yesterday, yesterday, I went out to play on the shopping street and it disappeared in the blink of an eye… My son did that.”

Her grandmother barely suppressed her trembling voice, and she spoke slowly.
Ash took the lead and walked.

“Where are you.”
“Ah, let me guide you. Please follow me.”

Grandmother struggled to move her heavy legs.
At a slow pace, they took us to the shopping street.

Although it is a small town, the street itself was well equipped.
While following in her grandmother’s footsteps, she caught the attention of the citizens of Reason.
Because he was a warrior, there was no choice but to pay attention to him.

“Hey, here it is.”

Even as her grandmother, I could only guess at her missing location.
The one with her granddaughter was the grandmother’s son, her child’s father.
It was impossible to know for sure.

It’s strange that he even remembers where he lost it in the first place.
It’s literally a disappearance, but it doesn’t make sense to know the details of the accident.

Ash looked around the street.
I didn’t see anything different, nothing special.

“I don’t feel Magi.”

When black magic is used, traces of demonic energy remain.
Only the hero can read it, but Ash has not seen any trace of the magic.

That means that no black magic was used.

“Because a black magician doesn’t necessarily use black magic, well.”

Black magicians are not sick either.
They know that their traces remain, but they don’t blindly use black magic.

Warlocks only use black magic when they need to.
Even if traces remain, when there is something that must be done, black magic is activated.

Ash was relaxed.
He decided to find his grandmother’s granddaughter, but she wasn’t in too much of a hurry.

It seems like it has changed a lot because of the regression, but on the other hand, it doesn’t seem to have changed at all.

“If you look for it slowly, it must be somewhere.”
“… Please…”
“Grandma, where is your son?”

Ash found the girl’s father.
The man who was with the child at the moment he lost it.

“Grandma is so slow, she’d rather go with a man.”
“… Home, home…”

If you go with grandma, it’s rather slow.
Grandma herself grabbed Ash’s ankle.

She too recognized her will and directed us to her own son.

Shabby minga.
A two-story building in the middle of the street was her grandmother’s house.

When I opened the door and entered, a man inside the house was stamping his feet.

“Mom, where the hell have you been!”

As soon as she faced her grandmother, her man rushed over.
Maybe it’s because my daughter went missing, so I reacted very sensitively.

“I’ll find Marie, so she’s not feeling well, but she just told me to stay home… !”

Her man scolds her grandmother, then she glances at us.
Eyes full of vigilance.

Her grandmother shook her hand.
Saying that they are not like that, he slapped the man on the back.

“He is a warrior! These are the people who said they would help find Marie. Open your eyes beautifully!”
“Yo, warrior… ?!”

The man’s eyes turned to Ash’s back.
The holy sword on his back was the symbol of a warrior.

“Hero!”
“Ah, done.”

Leaving behind the man who greeted him warmly, Ash flicked her hand.

“Time is wasted. So hurry up and follow me.”
“… Yes?”
“Aren’t you going to find your daughter?”
“No, no! No! Please find Marie.”

He came to help these people, but Ash was still sharp.

“I was kidnapped yesterday, but if I don’t find it soon, won’t it be a big deal?”
“… You’re right. What the warrior said is right.”

Whoever the culprit is, the life of a missing child is short-lived.
If a black mage is the opponent, it will be even shorter.

As a father, you need to move quickly.

“First of all, I have a question. Are there trash organizations in Reason?”
“… Nothing else comes to mind. Because it is a small city.”
“Yes?”

Human trafficking is common.
However, it is extremely rare for back alley black organizations to fight.

“But. There’s no reason for these guys to be so outspoken. The warriors go around with their eyes wide open.”

Most of the disappearance cases are concluded with the work of the black magician.
There was a reason it ended that way.

A warrior who wanders all over the continent.
These are people with good will, united by a cause.
The moment they caught the tail, the warriors were ready to bite and hang on to the end.

As a member of the Black Organization, is there any benefit to taking risks?
Almost nonexistent
Because of this, only warlocks do this.

“I don’t feel Magi in Reason. I think I just took her outside.”

Ash said so and headed out of Reason.

“I’ll have to leave open the possibility that the kid might have subdued.”

We followed Ash.
