Chapter 33 – Another Urgent Quest?
Black market.
A place suitable for hiding one’s identity and working in secret.
Cynthia personally called out the player whose comment had been deleted.
When I sent a message saying that I wanted to hear his story and wanted to help, he said he would go to the place he wanted.
The place is a wholesome tea house in a black market.
Although the usage fee is very expensive, it is a tea house that guarantees the secret.
You must be a player who can use the system to post on the player board.
Also, you may be out of sight of the Genesis guild or, in severe cases, you may be monitored.
Cynthia called the main character of the story to an expensive black market teahouse to maintain confidentiality.
At the promised time and place, there was a young girl of the same age as Cynthia.
Cynthia donned a robe and controlled a large puppet to approach a player named Shumi.
“Ah… Hello. I’ve been waiting for you. Thank you so much for agreeing to help me.”
Cynthia approached and tapped the table lightly with her fist.
Receiving the signal given in advance, the girl politely stood up and greeted them.
The reason why Cynthia is trying to help this girl she has never seen before, whom she sees for the first time today and has no relationship with.
Tring!

It was because of the second urgent quest that appeared to Cynthia.
If it wasn’t an urgent quest, this job was supposed to end out of curiosity, but I received an urgent quest.
For that reason, Cynthia intends to handle this case as if it were her own.
Cynthia sat down.
Just like when he met the alchemist Senna, he manipulates a doll of a large man to replace himself.
After ordering tea and orange juice to drink, I decided to listen to the girl’s story.
“Genesis Guild’s Guild Master. Mengsk. Since becoming a player, he is a scumbag who robbed my father of all his business and property.”
The words that came out of the girl’s mouth were as calm as a researcher’s.
However, he couldn’t hide the anger that lay deep in his voice.
“I don’t know the details. But my father’s will left behind what Mengsk did to my father and what he did.”
“Can I have a look?”
“Yes…”
When Cynthia asked, Shumi pulled out an old A4 paper from the subspace inventory.
Roughly 〈 Genesis 〉 The guild master of the guild, Mengsk, stole his company and patent rights and established a guild based on it.
In order to cover up this fact, he intimidated the guild members.
I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut for the sake of my pregnant wife and the baby in my belly…
It was so unfair that I ended up with a vase and the day Shumi was born. She left her will just before she died.
“…”
Poududeuk!
It was the sound of Cynthia’s fist.
No matter how corrupted he was by slime bodily fluids and transformed into a nanny specializing in sex…
Tane’s original personality of not being able to tolerate injustice remained, albeit slightly.
Cynthia returned her will.
As if it were her treasure, Shumi put her will back into her space inventory, and she silently drank the juice that had just come out.
“So you must have visited it yourself at least once? What did the Genesis guild say?”
Asked the big doll Cynthia had made and had a deep voice.
“He threatened to kill me.”
Shumi, who drank the juice, gave out a voice that sounded like she was slightly crying.
“My mother died of illness after my father passed away, and I was raised by my relatives. Then I happened to visit the house I lived in before… I found my father’s will in the abandoned house. After that, I continued to protest against the Genesis Guild. And contacted the reporter.”
I’m a young girl, so I’ve done everything I could really do.
Cynthia looked at her shumi with her admirable eyes.
“But the Genesis Guild was after seizing power and media as the top guild. Even the Players Association turned a blind eye to the truth and avoided me because of the power they couldn’t properly touch. Also, pressure began to come on me one by one. Even the relatives who raised me, who are like parents, have been threatened. I heard that they broke into my workplace and threatened…”
Here, Shumi turned her head and wiped her tears with her hand, as if she couldn’t hold back her resentment.
Then she took her wads of money from her subspace inventory. One after another, she took out small jewels, rings, and junk in turn.
“All I can give you… This is my property. With this… Genesis Guild, please reveal the identity of the guild master, Mengsk.”
“Even if I say that, somewhere within the power of Genesis… I will block the spread of information. Blocking information is not difficult as long as there is a special group called players.”
Cynthia spoke her own candid feelings.
At the same time, Shumi pushed her money and valuable items toward Shumi.
Taking this action as a sign of refusal, Shumi lowered his head.
“I heard that the Genesis Guild is going to attack the 〈 Great Mountains 〉 dungeon with all their might. If there is a lot of damage there, the Genesis Guild’s position will naturally narrow. Also, if an incident or accident occurs during the raid, complaints towards the Genesis Guild will flow. It will come pouring out.”
Having said that, Cynthia’s doll stood up.
“We will take this opportunity to destroy the Genesis guild. And all the people who need to be judged… We will stand on the judgment table.”
As long as the justification for an urgent quest happened, Cynthia, like Senna, decided to give her true education.
Not slaves, of course… Guild and guild member disintegration?
“I’ll try, so stay safe and wait for news. Is there anything I need to know more about Mengsk or the Genesis Guild? If you have any information, please let me know.”
“Ah… Thank you very much. By the way… The reward…?”
“No need. This is my personal business, so I’ll just do it for free. Give me all the information you know.”
*
Got information
The information guild obtained additional information related to Mengsk and reaffirmed that what Schmi said was true.
Now that you have the information, you need to decide on a course of action.
Will you go inside Genesis and interfere with it from the inside?
Or will it be persistently harassed outside of Genesis?
“Come on! Everyone, line up.”
“Players, don’t cut in line. If you cut in line, you will be excluded from all activities and nominations related to Genesis.”
“Players who want to hold on to fame and fortune like the Genesis Guild! Hurry up and line up!”
Cynthia came out to the city where the Genesis Guild was located to get some fresh air and get information.
She looked at the players who had gathered for an interview while drinking coffee in the cafe opposite.
As for the test method, if you pass the test given by the guild’s internal test center, you pass, if you don’t, you fail.
It is said that the test differs depending on the player’s ability, and the difficulty of the test is quite high as it goes to a difficult dungeon.
About 200 people have tried so far, but only 4 players have passed.
It may feel bad, but the down payment is quite large, so I am satisfied…
Cynthia was confident enough that she would pass.
There is a limit to the ability of a half-doll and remote control.
As she goes to the test herself, there is a risk that her abilities may be known.
The amount of stares and attention that a level 7 player will receive when they emerge from the world.
Cynthia’s teacher also hated that stare and hid her abilities.
At this time, Cynthia thought of Helga.
‘What if I tell Helga about this?’
If she was this girl’s power of action, she would definitely tell the righteous Helga this unfair story.
‘No… If this rumor had been easily conveyed, a lot of different stories would have bothered Helga?’
This world is crueler and crueler than you think.
No matter how righteous a person is, the body is one.
She can’t serve the poor man indefinitely.
Some of them might be trying to gain their own advantage by feigning pity for her.
Asking Helga for help will make things easier, but she finds his guild in trouble.
In the end, the only thing you can trust is yourself.
Cynthia decided to solve her urgent quest with her own skills, her slime slaves, dolls made with artistic souls.
So she spent an hour or so at her cafe.
Cynthia looked at what kind of additional people would join the expedition.
I don’t see any players with particularly threatening skills or abilities.
Decided.
He will take advantage of the Genesis Guild’s expedition by using slime from the outside.
But it’s a bit of a waste for her to go back to sleep like this…
Flash!
As soon as Cynthia had that thought, her blinding flash exploded outside her window.
