Chapter 7 – Episode 7 – I Take This Lightly
In the evening when the sun went down, I was doing squats. It’s good to split and exercise, but my still weak body required continuous simple exercise.
“Daron, are you building your body these days?”
The bedmate next to me who has been watching me for days ago looks at me curiously.
“Hamil, would you like to?”
“I’m okay.”
Not even a knight, but a general soldier. Soldiers only have to carry out their assigned missions. The hard work was up to the knights, so it didn’t matter if the soldiers had basic skills. I took out the prepared egg while touching my firm thigh.
It’s a protein I got from Ray after having dinner at the bottle restaurant. Ray grumbled, but when he asked for something to eat, he always took care of it.
Gulp.
I must have eaten two eggs after a brief workout, so I put on my outerwear.
“Where?”
“To the barracks next door.”
The reason I wanted to go to the barracks next door was because of Tyke. It was impossible to meet Tyke in prison, so it was difficult to directly ask where the aphrodisiac came from. So I’m going to find out for myself.
I went into the barracks next door and arrived in front of where Tyke lived. After knocking on the door a few times, the person inside opened the door first.
“Ah, are you here?”
“You don’t have to sing it high.”
“Yeah, yes.”
This soldier had been rooming with Tyke, and he was said to have suffered quite a bit. When he asked if he could take a look around where Tyke had been living, he asked why, at first he was frightened. However, when he said he was looking for things that could send Tyke further down the abyss, he readily agreed.
In fact, the death penalty is semi-definite, so there is nothing to go to hell… , How much did Tyke bully you?
“You can look around! Oh, can I go out so that it’s easy to see?”
“Okay. I’ll tell you first when I find it.”
“Okay. Please tell me when you find it.”
Now I can look around the room in silence alone. A search had already taken place, examining all of Tyke’s luggage. Still, Tyke’s baggage remains. When the day comes when the garbage is thrown away all at once, all of Tyke’s luggage will be thrown away.
Before that, I came to get something.
Since it was a simple murder case, I didn’t think that the demons were involved, so I wouldn’t have investigated this kind of thing. I took out the items imbued with divine power and opened the closet. Examine the marks of God between the clothes that are hanging arbitrarily. At this time, you should focus on the sensations of your fingertips.
Even if there are traces of the demons, it will be very small.
Uh
“Nice.”
Things work out better than expected.
Living in a harsh world, it seems that not only the small bones have grown thick, but even the head has become thick. I didn’t know that something so dubious would fit so well.
Every time I moved my hand back and forth, I felt friction on just one piece of clothing. I took out my clothes Judging by the plain clothes, it is clear that they are going out. I called the soldier waiting outside the door.
“Do you know when I wore this? Haven’t you been out in these clothes lately?”
“Recently? Umm… Was it a week ago?”
“A week ago? Didn’t you say where he was going?”
A week ago. The timing was just right.
“I didn’t say where I was going, I went with you.”
“Together? Together with Tyke?”
“Not two, but four.”
“Aha, a tyke and two pikes? Why did you go with them?”
“That… Crab, carry the load…”
Aigoo.
Was it a porter?
“… You have suffered a lot too.”
“So I am truly grateful to you.”
“Yes, yes. I mean, we went together anyway. Then can he find out where he visited?”
“May I speak… ?”
Seeing a slight hesitation, I patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
“I will make sure there is no disadvantage to you.”
“Actually… I was secretly going to buy you a drink. I just really listened! It’s true that I brought alcohol into the barracks, but I was forced to do so. I didn’t even drink.”
That’s why I hesitated.
Bringing alcoholic beverages into the barracks is a violation of military law. It wasn’t such a big deal, but it was against the discipline and would cost me months of money.
“What am I going to say about what I was forced to do? I won’t report it. And… Anything else special?”
“Something special?”
He was relieved now, trying hard to remember. After looking back at his memories for a few seconds, he flashed as if he remembered something.
“Suspicious merchant. Yes, there was a suspicious merchant.”
“A suspicious merchant?”
“A peddler wearing a black robe was soliciting customers.”
Black Robe!
Just listening to it gives off a suspicious smell.
“Where? Can you elaborate more?”
“I saw you on the street called Night. There are many good things… , Take a look… , It was Is it a cursed doll, or a poison that can kill you instantly with just one drop…”
“What did Tyke buy from the merchant?”
“That’s right. Reluctantly, no one paid attention to the merchant, but Tyke went and bought something as a joke. But I don’t remember what it was.”
“That’s right. I haven’t heard anything out of the ordinary.”
“That’s right. He was just like a crazy person.”
— Is a horn.
I finally stepped on my tail.
Tyke must have bought the medicine introduced as an aphrodisiac out of simple interest. And after returning, he must have tasted it for a test and noticed that it was a real weakness.
However, it seems that Ray did not use it. Anyway, since Ray had a crush on Tyke at that time, he probably had no reason to use it. … If not, I would have been forced to write it.
Ray guy. What you did well to Tyke was rather helpful. Thanks to you, you even gave me a virgin.
“Once I got it. After looking around, there are no major problems.”
“Is it?”
“Don’t worry though. I will make sure that he receives the most severe punishment.”
“Okay! Request.”
Because of his age involved in the case, he knew in advance that the sentence given to Tyke was the death penalty. It will be officially announced after some time.
“I will go.”
“Go carefully!”
I came out of the barracks with a soldier behind me who looked up to me after getting some good information. Looking up at the sky, it is a dark time. After returning to my barracks, I hurriedly changed into my clothes.
“What. Where are you going you want to go out? Isn’t it too late to go?”
“Are you late?”
It’s still a peaceful era, so you can get permission and go out into the city. But it was too late to get ready to go out at this time.
“Then you can stay out.”
“You can only use a little in a month, but you’re using it now?”
“Goes.”
I left the barracks after a short talk. It was quite painful to use the right to stay out right now, but the opponent is a mysterious merchant. From what I’ve heard, it looks like they’ve been selling all sorts of strange things, but if you keep doing that, the imperial family will be suspicious and start investigating… , Will eventually run away.
It could be obsessive-compulsive disorder, but if we don’t meet tomorrow with only a day difference, it’s sure to be very painful. For that reason, I made a hasty decision.
I apologized to my supervisor for my late request and obtained a stay-at-home permit. After safely exiting the castle wall, breathe in the cool air.
This is the first view of the street after returning. Because it was night, the shining ecliptic was very beautiful.
I moved quickly without forgetting my purpose.
They said it was on the street called Night. I arrived at Nitran Street, asking people for the location of Nitlan Street. It is still not midnight and there are many passers-by.
I jumped up and caught my breath and slowly looked around the street. Are you late? No matter how you look at it, you can’t see any suspicious merchants. I decided to ask the person who must have been guarding this street all along. If you are a street vendor, you will know.
“Have you ever seen a suspicious merchant on this street?”
“You mean the suspicious merchant?”
“Yes. I heard that there is a merchant wearing a black robe.”
“Oh, that madman? That guy, I got a report because he was selling something insignificant. You apologized when the soldiers came and closed the business right away?”
Fuck?
Did you already bounce?
“When is that?”
“Today. Talk about a few hours ago.”
Today, there are still possibilities. It would be very unfair if I even stayed out and missed it.
“Can you tell me where it went?”
“Oops. How do I know that It keeps bothering me. If you’re not going to buy anything, go away.”
“Ah… Haha. Of course you should buy one.”
“Oh yeah? That would be a different story.”
Oh I said wrong
This is a jewelry stall.
Since it is a street vendor, it will be cheap, but if I were going to buy it, I would have gone to a street vendor that sells food at a cheaper price.
“I’ll buy this. So can you tell me?”
I blindly chose an accessory in front of my eyes.
“Money first, Jooshu.”
“Yes, yes.”
If I asked if there was a cheap one, it seemed like I would only waste time after arguing with each other. I paid the price and took the necklace.
“Hmmmm, he’s probably in the park next door.”
“A park?”
“How much money must a guy who sells stupid things like that make? Let go of rumors that you sleep in the park next door at night.”
A merchant who promotes items that curse or kill people. It seems to be a cold meal.
“Thank you. I’ll just go.”
After saying hello to the street vendor who had nothing to do with it, I ran to the park I saw on the way back. The park, brightly illuminated by magic lights, was enjoying a night out for families and lovers. If he were to sleep here, he must have settled down in a place where there were not many magic lights.
While looking around the park with these thoughts in mind, a quarrel is heard in the distance. Going there…
“Could you please show your citizenship?”
“Because I lost it?!”
Who was quarreling with the soldiers.
“Why are you doing that with just sleeping!”
“If you are a person whose identification is difficult, you should be investigated. Can you show me your face first?”
A female voice came from inside the black robed merchant.
“No, I do not want! I have rights!”
“I don’t know if there is a guardian who can prove that you are a citizen here, but if you really have lost your citizenship, you should go through an investigation first and get a new citizenship issued.”
I don’t know what rights they have, but the soldiers accepted it again.
“If you continue to do that, I will take you by force.”
What. It’s hard to get caught by the soldiers.
That guy, who is presumed to be a demon, has to be captured by me first.
“Even if it’s a bit harsh, understand—.”
The soldier who was talking stopped. The other soldiers asked why, but soon fell silent. Everyone changed with eyes possessed by something.
“Well, I show my citizenship, and you guys go and say no problem. You know?”
“Yes…”
After that, the soldiers took their steps one by one. They trudged along, weak as if hypnotized.
The woman in the black robes confirmed that her soldiers were completely gone and she started to pack up grumblingly.
“Chi… They say it’s hard to leave home… I’ll have to float here… Ahh, I was supposed to conserve my remaining mana, but I spent it on something like this…”
Are you leaving here?
You can’t do that.
I approached her eagerly packing her things. She looked up at me, halting at the sudden stop of her steps in front of her.
“Looks like you don’t have enough money to stay at the inn, can I lend you some money?”
Upon hearing her words, white eyes peeking through the black robe blankly stare at me.
Oh, doesn’t this look too deceptive?
It seems to be overtly enticing… I’ll have to put some conditions on it.
“Large. Of course, I’m not just going to give it to you.”
“Thank you!”
I take this wholeheartedly
