Chapter 25 – Quest
I am now in a crisis.
“Ah, is there a misunderstanding about this—”
“Stop the bullshit! Hey, take it right now!”
I was about to say something, but a guard suddenly jumped up and shouted, and several people clung to me and subdued me.
Judging by the lack of communication, it seemed like he was caught up in some kind of fucking thing.
“Ah! Hurt! I won’t resist, so please do it!”
I was caught by a bunch of men and turned into a mess, and I was taken straight away without even making an excuse.
In the meantime, I deliberately took an exaggerated action to protect my inner pocket and arrived at the interrogation room while I was hoping that the potion in my backpack would not be broken.
A small space with a musty smell.
Thrown there, I crouched and waited endlessly.
‘Could it be because of the cock in the maid’s mouth? Then it really sucked…….’
Please, I prayed and prayed that it wasn’t all that for tens of minutes.
Profit.
Finally, someone opened the door to the interrogation room and entered.
The man who was holding a cigarette, a luxury item, took out a new cigarette from his pocket and handed it to me.
“I am Gillon, Inspector. Are you going to burn one?”
“Yes, yes…….”
Originally a smoker, I quickly took it and put it in my mouth.
It didn’t have a filter and it smelled like it was not that high-end, but I decided to accept the favor rather than reject it.
“Thank you.”
I put the cigarette I received in my mouth and waited for him to light it, but Gillon looked at me carefully and opened his mouth.
“I have no doubts.”
“Yes?”
Damn, you’re an investigator, why are you suspicious?
At his questionable words, looking at the armband on the forearm of the suit, it was clear that it was genuine.
I put the cigarette back in my hand at the words that didn’t make sense.
“Not me, but cigarettes. Didn’t you check the official notice that came down recently?”
What are you talking about?
It was the first time I had heard of it.
I don’t think it has anything to do with the maid’s work.
“An official notice? Oh, I just got back from Tallard today.”
Relieved, I quickly opened my mouth.
When I stopped at the inn where I was staying before to get my luggage, I explained that I had been caught by the guards who came in, but Gillon quietly listened to my story until the end.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s true. My mercenary plaque should also be in my backpack. Please trust me.”
“I’ve already checked. I’m sorry about this. Of course, the inn…….”
Having said that, Gillon led me out of the interrogation room.
‘What the hell?’
There seems to be something out of the ordinary, but I want you to take it off.
“The obsolete mercenary Ed. It’s unfair that I was suddenly arrested, but please understand. Because the city is not talking about right now.”
Did I have to put a grade on it?
I’ve always hated the tone of the word junk class.
“Read this.”
Gillon accepted what he offered as an official document.
[A new type of cigarette drug is circulating in Tallard, so be careful. Smoking…….]
“Aha.”
I skimmed it and returned it.
I know, so let me go
“From now on, if someone offers cigarettes, I’ll have to call the guards.”
“That’s why you offered me a cigarette. Finally, to see your reaction. If you see an official document, you usually reject it.”
I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been long since I came back.
Gillon added that.
Is that why I was suspicious until the end and insisted on recommending cigarettes?
You’re doing something stupid
“Well. Oh, yes. It’s trivial to say it’s a reward, but if you want, we’ll provide you with a meal and a place to sleep.”
Eating and sleeping?
I was just about to find a new place to stay, and it went well.
When the guards rushed in and fell earlier, my forearm was slightly scratched, and to be honest, I was a bit upset, but it started to loosen up.
“Thank you so much!”
“Wait a minute. And.”
And what else?
What else is there?
I never thought that the guards would reward me like this.
Gillon held out his hand to me, who was lost in anticipation of what more he wanted to give.
There was nothing in his outstretched hand.
“Give me back my cigarette. It’s a bit tight for a civil servant’s salary.”
Gillon, who had a profound sense of style, suddenly began to look ugly.
* * *
After getting my backpack back, I was suddenly curious and asked a question while following Gilon and a guard who offered to guide me to the accommodation.
“By the way, was that inn, by any chance, related to the drug mentioned in the official document?”
If not, I couldn’t understand why I was hiding in front of him.
“Yes. To be precise, the innkeeper’s daughter is involved.”
Daughter?
Could it be that freckled lady who stuck my pepper in her mouth?
“Yes?! He’s a drug addict?!”
If it was a drug he smoked like cigarettes, it was clear that his teeth and tongue were full of narcotics.
Fuck dog, I pushed my dick in there.
It must have been too late, but I had the urge to wash my cock right now.
“No, take it easy. It must have been pretty close.”
Fuck you, I was just surprised.
You don’t have to feel sorry for the vampire and Sophia Drin.
Because drugs are more dangerous than common STDs.
“I’ve given you a tip because I’m not close and I’m friendly.”
“Certainly there is something like that. I understand.”
“But he has something to do with drugs?”
At my words, Gillon looked at me carefully.
I kept my mouth shut at that burdensome gaze and followed him, until I arrived at the dorm before I knew it.
Looking at the exterior, it is not an inn, but an old-fashioned building belonging to Tallard.
“Now, it’s Room 204.”
Gillon handed me the key and beckoned, and the security guard lowered her head and disappeared.
“It’s old, but it won’t be bad. Wait in your room and they will bring you a meal. To be honest, it doesn’t taste very good.”
“Thank you. Then…….”
When my back hurts and I’m tired, I’m about to say hello and go up.
“If it’s okay, would you like to eat together?”
Said Gillon, stroking his mustache.
It felt creepy, but when I thought about it, Gillon couldn’t have been a bitch.
Because there are no homosexuals in this world.
“I have something to ask of you.”
Bewitched by the sweet magic word of request, I followed Gillon to the restaurant outside.
* * *
The meal consisted of potatoes, large sausages, and beer.
It was a decent menu, but it was free, and I was quite satisfied because I had a proper meal for the first time in a while.
Gillon grumbled about the low salary even when he was doing the calculations.
The request he proposed was a bit unexpected.
―It seems that noble nobles are involved. Investigations rarely progress.
At the same time, I, an inconspicuous junk, ask for help.
I couldn’t even take a break and as soon as I came home, I couldn’t accept that I was crazy about something involving nobles.
That’s why I immediately refused and went back to the inn as if running away.
She was a little curious about how the maid was involved, but she asked for nothing, but she didn’t ask because she thought she would have to imitate the secret agent.
No fuck, honestly, as I don’t have much ability, rejecting Gillon’s offer is actually more helpful.
I fell asleep thinking so.
And now it’s morning.
“You will do well.”
I brushed off her uneasy feelings and grabbed my backpack.
First of all, I planned to go to the mercenary office.
Unlike before, as an employer.
“Hehe, I’ll have to look at it and pull it out.”
Since you won’t be able to find a proper mercenary with just a few bucks anyway, it’s better to find a mercenary with a pretty face.
Even if I can’t do anything, I don’t want to go on a trip with hairy guys.
When I came out, the ground was hot from morning.
If it wasn’t for sunlight immunity, the twin sound would have come out right away.
Come to think of it, Ona Hall gave eternal youth and the vampire gave immunity to sunlight.
I wondered if there would be a new achievement after having sex with Sophia Drinne, but there was no such thing.
“But.”
Eternal youth is an achievement I got because Lia, an immortal monster, died unintentionally due to some kind of chemical reaction with my semen, and I don’t know much about vampires, but it was an achievement I got because I made an important promise.
This time with Sophia Drinne, there was nothing that could be called an achievement.
It would be an achievement if it was an achievement to have worked to the limit.
I wanted to quickly get Echidna’s eggs, return to her, and weave one more time.
“Fuck, my God. What was I thinking just now!?”
Do you have a hangover from drinking beer in a long time?
Shaking my head and walking, I arrived in front of the mercenary office before I knew it.
The inside was quiet.
“Hello. I want to get two mercenaries.”
I approached the receptionist and started telling my wishes.
I hid that I was planning to steal a monster egg just in case.
A rare herb gathering assistant would be fine.
“It will take about 3 days for 30 dinars per day, and ah! A female mercenary with a pretty face. This is the most important thing.”
“…… Yeah? I understand for now. Then come back in two days.”
“Yes. Also, just in case, give preference to someone who knows how to use a knife even a little bit.”
After asking the receptionist for a few more things, she walked out of the office.
Including the wages for the two mercenaries and the carriage, it would cost close to 250 dinars, but that was fine.
If you get enough eggs and go back, you can ask Sophia Drin to give you something that is reasonably priced and not burdensome.
“Shall we go to the library now?”
* * *
Every city is full of poor people.
It’s the same here, in Tallard.
The demon of pleasure showed mercy to humans who lacked pleasure.
―Leraji-nim has mercy on us.
She remembered her own mother
Swoop.
After a while, she quietly took out the case from her bosom and checked the neatly arranged cigarettes.
‘…….’
As a demon who had just been born, she had to hurry up and fill her quota.
The other sisters had already spread a lot of drugs, but she hadn’t even sprayed one yet, probably because she had arrived late in the city.
‘It’s dangerous inside the city.’
However, since the boundaries were strict these days, I decided to work outside the city and moved on.
There are good routes.
Originally, the more urgent you are, the more careful you should be.
At the mercenary office I arrived at, I picked up a request from the bulletin board and approached the receptionist.
[Assistant to Collect Rare Herbs – Ed]
The contents of the request were vague, and the request fee was horribly low, but it didn’t matter.
Because money wasn’t his goal.
She handed her request to the receptionist.
“Shall I accept it?”
In the eyes of the receptionist, her appearance suited the unique conditions of this request.
