Chapter 12 – Little Trouble in Bahran (2)
“…You look really good.”
“…Yes?”
Are you in good shape? What do you mean?
If you think about it simply, it could be a word that I am looking at my muscles. It’s because I tend to exercise regularly.
But what the nun said. Is it such a simple meaning? It could mean that you are healthy, or that your organs are in place…
“Oh, I just meant that the muscles look toned.”
It was just a simple meaning.
“Then excuse me…”
The nun put her hand over my wound.
“Ugh…”
“Even if it hurts, please be patient.”
The nun prayed to her god for a cure for her.
“Holy and noble Lady Yurmia, please do a miracle for this poor lamb.”
A brilliant light bloomed from the nun’s hand that touched my body. The light enveloped the wound her hand touched and began to heal.
‘It’s always amazing to see it.’
A wound that would take weeks to heal naturally is healed with just one prayer. Every time I see something like this, I feel keenly that I have come to this world.
“Whoa…”
The nun’s breathing became a little rough. Is it hard?
“Are you okay, Sister?”
“…Yes?”
“If you’re tired, it’s okay to take a break and do it.”
“No. It’s okay.”
She said firmly. Then, with her hand, the rain examined my wounds.
…It seems to be stroking the body strangely, is it my mistake?
Well, it must be my delusion. Could a nun do that?
“Now I will treat the lower wound.”
After the wounds on the upper body had healed, it was time to heal the lower body. The nun squatted down in front of me.
“…Sister?”
“Yes?”
“That’s a bit…”
“What do you mean by posture?”
“…No.”
She was a bit shy when it came to talking about it, so she decided to be treated calmly.
“Then let’s start with the lower one.”
The nun put her hand on my thigh. On that side, there was a wound from a spear. As the nun prayed, she was enveloped in pure white light, and her new flesh began to sprout.
Gulp.
Another swallowing sound was heard. I looked smart this time. The nun’s neck is moving.
“…Sister.”
“Why do you keep calling me? Please be quiet as I need to focus on treatment.”
“No, that… It seems like you’re staring at me too intently.”
“Are you staring at me? I’m just making sure the wound is healing!”
“Ah yes…”
For anything like that, the gaze was directed to the inside of her thighs. She started stroking her thighs, um, pretending to examine her wounds again.
“This is a man’s…”
Even say weird things How should I react to this? I was very troubled. I never thought I’d have to worry about this, and that at the temple.
“It is over.”
Is a nun still a nun? She never crossed her line until her treatment was over. I handed her her 1 silver.
“Thank you. May Yurmia-sama’s blessing be with you.”
“Thank you. Ah, Sister.”
I decided to ask questions before leaving.
“Yes?”
“Does Sister usually take care of her male counterparts?”
At my question, the nun blushed a little and said,
“Oh, no. Today, when all the priests are out of town, is special. Usually, one priest is always present. So, today’s work is only for today…”
“Ah, is that so? All right. May Yurmia-sama’s blessing be with you.”
I left the apologetic nun and came out of her room.
“Ah, Mr. Yooseong came out… Kyaaak!”
Seeing me, Ceris screamed at her and then covered her eyes.
“It’s a surprise. Seris, what’s wrong?”
Someone next to me tapped my arm. It was Kara. Kara said, blushing a little.
“Brother…That, don’t you wear clothes…?”
“Huh…?”
Oh, I forgot because I was distracted by the nun.
Damn.
* * *
Coming out of the temple, I went to a clothing store and bought some clothes. This is because the clothes they were originally wearing were no more than rags.
After buying clothes, I entered the inn with Sister Ceris. Pretending not to be, but both Celis and Kara were exhausted mentally and physically.
The inn was noisy. All sorts of people gathered together and drank and chatted with each other.
“This is an inn!”
Kara looked around the inn, her eyes shining. Inns are a staple in adventure stories, so you must have been curious. It’s a place where there’s nothing much better than Kara’s expectations, so I hope you won’t be disappointed.
“You usually make your first teammates here!”
I looked around. It’s just drunken guys. I didn’t see anyone who could be my ally.
“Order here!”
I sat down and called the waitress. A beast with cat ears has arrived.
“Yes, what would you like to order?”
“It would be nice if you could recommend the menu.”
“Ah! You’re here for the first time! At our inn, the chicken stew is amazing! If you drink ale there, it’s great! Awesome!”
“How much is the chicken stew?”
Seris, who was fascinated by the explanation of the beastman class, asked. The waitress spread her three fingers.
“Chicken stew is 3 coopers. Ale is one cooper for four.”
“3, 3 Cooper…”
Seris’ eyes trembled.
“Is our store on the cheap side?”
“It’s cheap..?”
‘Do city people really splurge?’ Seris murmured to herself.
“Sister, let’s eat! Surely you’re not saving money until a day like today?”
“Ugh… Joe, good! Three chicken stews and four ales, please!”
Perhaps she thought that today would be okay, Seris put in a spirited order and ordered it.
“Yes! Three chicken stews and four ales, ordered!”
The cat Suin went back wagging his tail.
“Three chicken stews… Are you buying me one too?”
I asked as a joke. Seris’ eyes widened.
“Ah, that, uh…”
She hesitated and couldn’t answer properly. Seeing that her eyes are shaking wildly, she seems to be in serious trouble. I tried to laugh and say it was a joke.
“I will buy it. Eat your fill!”
“Huh…? You say you’ll buy it…?”
“Yes!”
I put my hand on Seris’ forehead.
“To?”
“Let’s see, I don’t have a fever…”
“Mmm, what are you doing?!”
Celis panicked and pulled her body behind her.
“Are you Seris? Isn’t it?”
“What do you mean?”
“The Ceris I know is not the kind of person who would say she buys things for others.”
“What the hell do you think of me?!”
Seris shouted as if it was really unfair. As the eyes of the other guests gathered, she bowed and apologized.
“I am also a woman who writes when she writes.”
Seris sat down again and spoke in a dissatisfied voice.
“Okay?”
“Yes! Yoosung helped us a lot this time. He was hurt because of it. Oh right. How much did it cost to be treated at the temple? I’ll give it to you.”
“No, it’s okay. What did you treat my body for?”
“No. You got hurt because of us. What I pay is correct. How much is it?”
“Because it’s done.”
I waved my hand. She might see in real time her soul drain from Seris, who said 1 silver.
Seris persisted until the stew was served.
“Stew is here!!”
Although, after smelling the stew, I fell in love with it and became quiet.
“Then enjoy your meal!”
The maid, the cat keeper, has left. Kara watched the maid’s back and she said a word.
“Beast lady..! Assassin…!!”
No. Just a slave
I stirred the soup into the stew and took a big bite and ate it. The savory taste of the chicken was added to the subtle scent of the vegetables.
“Why is this so delicious?!”
This is the review of Seris. She took one bite and felt the aftertaste, then took another bite and felt the aftertaste.
I smiled and drank my ale. It was lukewarm.
* * *
“Be sure to lock the door when you sleep. A drunkard might mistake it for a room.”
“Yes, got it.”
“Then see you tomorrow morning.”
“See you tomorrow brother!”
I waved to them and walked out of the inn and into the slums. Is it because you came in a week? Feelings are new…
“Gwayek…”
“Kyaaak! It’s a thief! Someone please catch that thief!”
“Wrong, wrong!!”
“If you made a mistake, you must be right!”
…Not new. It is a slum as usual. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, but it’s a place I’m not happy with at all.
Didn’t you just sleep at an inn today?
It was a little too late to go back now, so I hurried my steps. I should go to bed soon or
“What?”
Arrived at the cabin. However, a light was leaking from inside the cabin. It sounded like someone was inside.
I approached the hut, careful not to make the sound of footsteps. He put his ear to the crack in the door.
– Did you guys see it too? That bastard gets scared when I say a word!
– I saw it! He carried his neck stiffly, but he met the owner.
-Now. Drink and talk.
After that, I kept eavesdropping on the conversation, but only three voices were heard. I opened the cabin door and entered.
Inside the hut were three cunning poor people. Two of them were familiar faces and only one was unknown.
“Huh? What else is this bastard?”
An unknown poor man glared at me.
“I want to ask. This is my cabin, why are you guys here?”
“Oh, I heard there is an owner here, so was this guy?”
An unknown poor person patted the back of a known poor person and laughed cheerfully. He looked back at me with a smirk.
“Kid, if there is a good place like this, we should share it together. Huh? Shouldn’t we live by helping each other in this harsh world?”
“Don’t be silly and get out of here. This place was handed down to me by Grandma Manda.”
The owner of this hut was an old woman named Manda. I took care of her ailing grandmother, and before her grandmother passed away, she gave me this cabin.
“Ha, the kid is so bold once.”
“Aigoo, stop it. Han Yuseong, I’m sorry. We thought you left the cabin because you didn’t come for a while.”
“Leave this. That bastard, I’ll give you some education!”
“Oh, why? Calm down? Hey what are you doing You should also dry Yon.”
When Yon got up, two other poor people stopped him. No, he pretended to be dry. The two poor people were watching the liver with their eyes narrowed.
If I feel like I’m being pushed back here, I’m sure he’s thinking of taking over this cabin with that guy named Yon. Conversely, if Yon is pushed, he will withdraw his foot with the excuse of stopping him.
Anyway, damn, they’re all fuckin’ bastards.
“Leave this. I’m going to give him some education…?!”
I stabbed Yon in the eye. Yon closed his eyes and screamed.
“Aagh!!! My eyes!!!”
“Shut up.”
I grabbed Yon by the hair and slammed him on the floor.
Thud!
“Evil!”
Thud
“Keuk…”
Thud
“Ugh…”
Kept hitting After about 5 more hits, it quieted down. He wasn’t dead, he passed out. I let go of the hand holding his hair.
“This…”
Two poor people looked down at the fallen Yon. It is the expression of looking at a useless object with no worries.
“You bastard, are you new to the city this time?”
The two poor people nodded at my question.
“That’s right. I broke it in half not long after I came.”
“Half? That skinny bastard?”
Ban is a bit of a brawler among the poor. He, of course, is not to the extent that he is involved in a full-fledged thug organization like the Masked Band, but he is a guy who picks up fights with the poor.
“Anyway, I’m sorry. We stopped, but he insisted on coming here…”
Poor people tried cutting their tails. I slapped the guy on the chin. He stumbled and sat on the floor.
“Ugh…”
“What does it have to do with being dry and having you here?”
He kicked and trampled the face of the fallen man.
“What are you doing!”
The sane poor man frowned at him and said.
“I don’t know him, but you know me. Knowing that, I couldn’t have done that.”
“What the fuck!”
“Are you going to use a knife? If you write, I will write too.”
“…”
I put in the dagger that the sane poor man pulled out. I stuck my fist in the guy’s throat. I hit the staggering guy again.
After beating the three moderately, they kicked them out after a fan.
That way, no one will be arguing for a while. They’ll go around bragging about who beat them up.
If someone is hit by someone, he will be treated as an idiot, but if that person is me, at least that’s because it’s not treated that way.
You don’t have to worry that those guys will hold a grudge and lay a knife point. Guys with that kind of bullying wouldn’t have lived like that. I’m not going to blur the boundaries though.
I lay down on the floor and went to sleep. It was cold, but my body was tired, so I fell asleep quickly.
