Chapter 617 – Visit

I haven’t received the full request from Willas yet.
Unpaid wages…
Moreover, he even led me into a trap.
I experienced two things that were both unbearable.
This is hard to bear even for a saint.
So, it was natural for me to be angry after hearing Willas’ scandalous message.
To come out so shamelessly when even an apology along with sincere alimony wasn’t enough… I couldn’t believe it.
Originally, I thought about lying in bed for about a month… But in the end, I got up from my hospital bed after 15 days and decided to go look for Willas.
But I ran into difficulties from the beginning.
It was because I was at a loss when trying to find Willas.
I first asked Nora about Willas’s whereabouts.
If Nora met Willas, she might know his whereabouts.
“Where is Willas? I don’t know? I don’t know about that either. Evat said that he was lucky enough to meet him in the mine and relayed Bark’s words to him. Could it be that he is hiding because of what happened with Bark?”
I don’t think Nora saw Willas in person.
Her servant, Evat, found Willas and relayed my words… If Willas had been brought in on a leash at that time, the matter would have ended easily, but it is a pity.
‘Evat guy. You have no sense of getting things done.’
I internally lamented Evat’s incompetence.
Evat probably knew that I wanted to bring Willas by force.
If it had been Nora who fell into the trap and not me, she would have grabbed Willas by the collar and dragged him away, but since she always thought of me as undesirable, there was no way she would be proactive about this.
‘Tsk tsk. You seem like a narrow-minded person.’
Should I look for inmate accommodation?
But I don’t know Willas’ prison number.
“Do you know Willas’ prison number?”
“Do you want to look for it in the inmate’s dormitory?
When I asked Will Lass’ prison number, Nora seemed to understand her intention right away.
“But… It looks like Willas doesn’t live there? It looks like he left the dorm right after what happened in the mine with Master Bark?”
Although the inmate dormitory charges exorbitant monthly rent considering its condition, it was still the place with the lowest monthly rent in Karaz.
Unless there were special cases like Nora, prisoners rarely moved until the loan was repaid.
Living out of a prisoner’s dormitory means having enough money.
The story is soon…
‘Willas, that guy already paid off the loan?’
Considering Willas’ abilities, the possibility of that was extremely low.
There was a bad smell.
After leaving Nora’s treatment center without much benefit, I was worried.
‘Hmm… Evat said they met at the magic stone mine, so they are mining magic stones… Should I just wait for the guy from the mine management office to show up?’
That’s a bit annoying.
‘It would be nice to have someone who can take care of me at times like this…’
Unfortunately, the Helena Liberation Front does not belong to me.
It’s a bit much to ask.
We may have to use force to catch Willas. It is not a light request, like simply conveying words.
If that happens, it will be difficult for me to refuse Nora’s request later.
Still, if it’s Nehru… There’s a high chance that he will grant my request. However, I felt a little sorry for asking a kid who was busy paying off his debt to find Willas.
Now that things are like this, I have no choice but to use the hidden card.
‘It feels a bit early, but…’
I decided to ask Sunni for cooperation.
Suni was planning to call her soon to find Helena.
I entered a quiet back alley with no people and called Sunni.
“Sunni.”
The black particles flowing out of my body create a beautiful girl with black hair.
“Master! I missed you.”
Suni, whom I haven’t seen in a long time, hugs me and makes a noise.
“What are your preparations?”
“I’m working slowly to avoid feeling as much resistance as possible.”
While I was staying in Karaj, Sunni did not play either.
What if the real Helena is here… And I let her escape?
Zephyria-kun will go crazy, and it will inevitably have an impact on the women associated with me in Zephia.
Sunni was secretly preparing countermeasures to avoid being discovered by Zephyria’s army.
I conveyed to Suni the information about the faces of Karaz and Willas in my memory through images.
“I just need to find someone named Willas? Don’t worry, I’ll find you soon!”
Using a sunni to find someone like Willas is like using a cow knife to kill a chicken, but I thought it would be okay if I thought of it as a light warm-up before looking for Helena.

Karaz was a place where there were almost no machines except for the military facilities in the north.
That’s why Sunni’s abilities are quite antipathetic.
Sunni had no choice but to step out and find Willas.
Still, she was capable, and within a few days she informed me of Willas’ location.
“It’s over there.”
The place Sunni visited was a small building on the outskirts of Karaz.
The one-story building appeared to be a single-family home with a low stone wall and a small front yard.
“…”
Willas is not a doctor like Nora.
In short, it is too much of a place for him to stay.
I knocked on the door of that house.
“Who…”
The door opens and Willas’ face appears. The guy who saw me quickly tried to close the door, but the door I was already holding didn’t budge.
“Bah, Mr. Bark. There seems to be some misunderstanding.”
Willas spoke with anxious eyes and cold sweat.
“… Misunderstanding?”
Does this guy think I’m a fool?
“Well, if you listen to me, you’ll understand! Oh, come inside, and we can talk!”
Have you decided that there is no way out?
In the end, Willas let me into the house.
I spread awareness and took a quick look around the house.
I couldn’t sense anyone else besides Willas.
It looked like an ordinary home with everything you need, including a living room, kitchen, and bedroom.
It can’t be considered luxurious.
However, compared to inmate accommodation, it was no different from a hotel.
I instinctively thought that Willas living here might have something to do with leading me into the trap.
“This is so… I live in a nice house. I guess I sold it and made it salty?”
He said while sitting leisurely on the sofa in the living room.
“Oh, no. This is the result of my hard work in the magic stone mine.”
Is this house the result of your efforts?
Rebellion kids understand.
They are active in the western mines.
But not Willas.
They say they are running an organization called Gamers, but the profits themselves will not be much different from other novice inmates.
But can you pay off debt and buy a house in that short period of time?
It was impossible with this guy’s abilities.
If that happens, it means that something strange was done.
“… Are you telling me to believe that now?”
“Please believe me, Bark. What I said is the truth. At the time, I was so scared that I just ran away. But I had absolutely nothing to do with them.”
“They say it’s not related… What about the balance?”
“I was going to give you a share of the balance with the profits from the mine. But unfortunately, something like that happened. Mr. Bark, I am a victim too! I made a big investment and recruited them… But that’s what happened!!”〈 Br〉
Willas complained as if he felt truly unfair.
If it were Palangwi Nehru, he might have been fooled.
“Huh… This really happened…”
As I seemed to be persuaded, Willas’ complexion gradually brightened.
“I also feel aggrieved. Isn’t this what happened because Bark had trouble with them in the first place? If you pass the blame on to me…”
“… Oh, is that what it was?”
“That’s right!”
“I think I did you a big wrong!”
“Now you understand me!”
“You got caught up in my own business… I guess I should make an apology as an apology.”
“Haha… No. You don’t have to be so harsh.”
Willas said with a happy face after hearing my kind words.
“No… I really hope you accept it. I’m sorry, so I can just leave.”
“If that’s true… I can’t help it.”
-Usik!
My big fist stuck in Willas’ shameless face.

I threw Willas, who was covered in blood, out of the house.
-Sharply.
After some time, a medical ship arrived and departed carrying Willas.
“It’s comfortable.”
I saw off Willas, who had been returned, and went inside the house and looked through Willas’ bag.
“… About 5,000 Zena?”
Looking at the thickness of the banknote, it seems to be about that much.
Unfortunately, prisoners don’t carry that much money around. If you carry a lot of money, you will only become good prey for other prisoners.
If possible, I only save the minimum amount of money and use it to repay the loan.
I think the bills in this bag are probably the money left over from selling the gemstones mined today or yesterday.
I wish I had money hidden at home.
Of course, I have no intention of ending it just this once.
If Willas returned after receiving treatment, I planned to thoroughly collect the requested money that I was unable to receive.
The guy showed the temperament of a fraudster.
This was also necessary for the public good of society.
I decided to receive this house as compensation for betrayal.
Of course, Willas’ opinion was not important.
That’s how I got out of the narrow prisoner’s quarters and found a new home.
