Chapter 31 – Catch the Bandit!(2)
[You have purchased ‘Dangga’s Dagger’.]
[The ‘Dangga Dagger’ is registered in the status window.]
[The ‘Tang family dagger technique’ is taught to Yuseong Han.]
“Ugh…”
Knowledge that I have never seen before is going through my head. The headache that came with it. He frowned and endured it.
“Whoa…”
The headache is gone. I leaned against a tree and wiped the sweat from my forehead.
‘It’s like shit…’
It’s a feeling I never want to go through again. Headaches aside, the feeling of having the top of my head open and pouring knowledge into it was very unpleasant.
“…Ceris should do it while she is sleeping.”
I thought of the newly obtained ‘Dangji’s dagger technique’. The dagger technique passed down from generation to generation in Sichuan Tang Gate plays in my head.
I grabbed the dagger. Move your body as your head tells you.
Stab
The dagger shoots rapidly towards the target.
Shed
The heavy sword that descends obliquely is let go by using the wrist.
Cut
Squeak. Cleanly cuts the neck of the opponent.
A series of actions that kill the opponent are followed smoothly.
No, it had to be connected.
“It’s not going well…”
Contrary to the image in my head, my movements were abruptly cut off. The theory is perfect, but the body couldn’t keep up.
‘Well… This is natural.’
Knowing with your head and knowing with your body are two different things. It’s not for nothing that sports players repeat the same moves hundreds of times.
On the contrary, it would have been terrifying if it had succeeded at once. It was like being able to control my body at will.
The creepy thing is that it’s enough to open the cap on my head.
“Status window.”
Belt ring.

-Dangga’s dagger [Lv.1] [0.01%]
================================
‘Dangga’s dagger’ has been added to the skill list. The figures written next to it stood out.
“Level 1?”
If you look at what’s next to the skill, is it like proficiency?
As a test, I repeated the motion I had just done. It was about 10 times.
〈 Skill 〉
-Dangga’s dagger [Lv.1] [0.02%]
0.01 became 0.02.
As expected, the proficiency seems to be right.
‘What’s good about posting this?’
I didn’t know right away. I put my dagger in and got out of the woods.
‘I hope it’s not too late.’
Soon the sun was setting. Feeling impatient, I ran towards Kalita.
However
“I’m sorry, but I can’t open it. Come back when the sun rises tomorrow morning.”
The gate was firmly closed. I had no choice but to sleep in front of the wall.
* * *
“Ugh…”
Is it because I slept on the hard floor with the cold wind blowing? I didn’t feel like I slept because my body was tired.
‘Where’s the one that didn’t go back?’
Taking that as comfort, I walked to the gate.
“Do you have a citizenship card?”
I showed my adventure pass to the guard who was checking. He looked over the adventure certificate and nodded his head.
“Pass.”
“Good job.”
Returned to the inn. I plan to lie down on a soft bed and rest. Opened the door
Someone was sitting on my bed.
‘Seris?’
That someone was Seris.
She was sitting on my bed, staring blankly at the wall. I didn’t hear the sound of the door opening, so I didn’t even move. I just stared at the wall with wide eyes.
‘Why are you doing that?’
At this time, in my room too. Did you even worry about it? Still, that’s a bit excessive.
I raised my voice.
“Ceris, what are you doing here?”
Seris looked back at me, startled. There was life in his eyes.
“Mr. Yooseong..!”
She came running towards me. Then I started to examine my body.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Are you okay. There are no injuries.”
“I’m glad… But why did you come now..?”
Seris asked in a slightly resentful voice. I replied scratching my cheek.
“I arrived late and the gates were closed. I was able to come in only this morning.”
“I see…”
Ceris sighed and sighed. It looks relieved.
“Then why are you doing this here?”
“…I was worried because Mr. Yooseong didn’t come back…”
“Are you not sleeping? Look at the dark circles coming down. Your eyes are bloodshot again… What is it, did you cry?”
Seris’ eyelids were swollen. She was startled and didn’t know what to do, and ran away, covering her face.
“Hey, hey! You have to cover your face!”
I looked around the room and found the mask. Didn’t see. It seems that it was not even written in the first place.
‘I told you to wear it when I go out.’
I went to Seris’s room to say something bitter. I knocked because the door was locked.
“Seris. It’s me. Please open the door.”
“Sir, I don’t like it.”
“What..?”
This was a bit of a shock. It was rare for Celis to express her disapproval of me. I knocked on the door again.
“I have something to say. It just takes a moment.”
“No. Come back in a little while.”
She spoke a few more times after that, but her will was stubborn. I had no choice but to promise the following.
I returned to my room and lay down on the bed.
I closed my eyes and the thoughts rushed in.
‘What should I do with Seris…’
Is it because of the trauma related to my parents? Ceris feared that I would abandon her. When she thinks about what she just did, she thinks it gets worse.
‘Perhaps that of the night before yesterday…’
Wasn’t he trying to hold me back? The thought of that made her feel bitter.
Even if she didn’t do that, she had no intention of leaving.
‘I tried my best to give him trust, after all.’
She seems to have been lacking for her. Can’t be She has no choice but to try harder.
I got up and left the room. Since I woke up, I plan to raise my skill proficiency.
* * *
A new morning dawned.
Today is the day the subjugation team departs. After getting ready, we left the inn. I arrived at the assembly point written on the request form.
-Hey~ They give you 10 copper per day, plus 10 copper for each bandit head. If I play properly this time, I will be able to pay off all my gambling debts.
-Hey, did you hear that? A silver rank is also available for this subjugation.
-Really? I wish it was Allen…
…There were more people in the subjugation party than I thought. I tried to count them. That’s roughly 30 people.
‘I’m sure there are people who haven’t come yet…’
Wouldn’t that add up to 50 people?
It even comes with a silver rank. My eyes widened at the larger-than-expected scale. I looked at the outfits of other adventurers.
‘Cloth armor, leather armor, strange patterns…’
Even a guy with no armor at all.
There were few adventurers with better equipment than us.
‘Most of them are rock or iron grade.’
I was a little relieved. If he had a lot of the same grade, he would have given up on the request. Even if the pay is good, it’s not enough to take high risks.
I looked around and found the janitor. I found a decently dressed man.
Approached him
“Do you want to participate in the punitive force?”
The manager who was looking at the papers raised his head. We handed over wooden boards. He scanned the wooden board and filled out the paperwork.
“Two rocks for one iron. Are you guys together?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, then get into that carriage.”
He pointed to the second of several wagons.
We greeted each other lightly and walked to the carriage.
“Eww…”
The eyes of Sister Seris looking at the carriage were dark.
After all, it was hard to hold on to my butt whenever I rode the wagon.
“A carriage is better than walking. Come on, let’s go up.”
“Yes…”
“Huh…”
The two of them got into the wagon helplessly.
I was about to get on too, but there was a sudden uproar behind me.
I listened to what was going on.
– Is the grade! Berserk Warrior, Varian has arrived!
‘Silver grade?’
A silver grade came? Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard adventurers whispering before.
I turned around instead of getting into the carriage.
“Mr. Yooseong?”
“I’ll be gone for a while. Please take my place.”
“Yes? Where are you going?!”
Seris’ voice gradually faded away. I ran into the scene of the commotion.
“Sorry. Wait a minute.”
Squeezed between people. After passing through more than half, I was able to see the protagonist of the uproar.
-Oh, I didn’t expect Varian-nim to come directly!
-It’s a nomination request from the Reynald family, so of course you have to come.
-Thank you. Now that Berian is here, I feel like all my worries and worries are gone.
Haha! Sound natural. There’s no way mere bandits can be my opponents.
– It’s a matter of course.
The caretaker bent over and let out a fart. It’s almost to the point where I wonder if it’s the person who used that stiff tone of voice from before.
I looked at the large man next to the janitor. He has a shaggy beard on his bald head and carries a huge double-edged ax behind his back.
It’s like seeing the barbarian you only see in the movies in real life.
‘Why did such a person come here? Is it the role of general manager?’
I thought it was highly likely.
It would be much safer to have one name attached rather than entrusting it to unheard of adventurers.
I watched him a little longer and then returned to the carriage.
“Where have you been?”
When I sat down, Seris, who was sitting next to me, asked.
“I came to see some silver grades.”
“A silver grade? Aren’t you a very tall person?”
“Um… Isn’t it? It’s a bit excessive, but.”
“I hear you make good money too?”
“You will earn so much that you can’t even compare with us. Maybe I will receive a gold coin?”
“That, gold coins…!”
Seris hardened for a moment, then trembled. It looks like it has goosebumps.
“Mr. Yooseong…”
She wiggled her fingers.
“I-may I be able to become a silver rank someday…?”
I looked up and said it, but I involuntarily laughed.
“…It must be difficult for me… I know. I just asked… But as long as you’re laughing…”
Seris became sullen. She lowers her head and mumbles. I laughed and tousled her hair.
“It can be.”
No, it should be
Because you have to catch the devil with me.
* * *
I woke up to the sound of footsteps approaching me. The man who tried to wake me freaked out.
“Wow?!”
“Is it our turn now?”
“Uh… That’s right.”
“All right. Thank you for your effort.”
The man looked at me curiously and went back to bed. I woke Seris and Kara.
“Wake up. It’s bedtime.”
“Yes…”
“Um…”
With a rustle, Seris stood up. On the other hand, Kara couldn’t even answer properly and turned her body.
“Anyway, he sleeps too much.”
I couldn’t help but put my hand on the back of Kara’s neck. When her cold hand touched her, Kara hid like a cat caught by her tail! Woke up walking
I took the two of them and headed to the nightstand.
“Ugh… Oppa is too much…”
“I want to sleep more, but other people notice. Be patient.”
“Huh… Ok…”
After straightening Kara, she looked around. Bonfires and adventurers are scattered all over the place.
‘I never thought they would give me a tent…’
The tent could only be used by silver ranks and managers. Because of that blatant discrimination, adventurers are sleeping on the street.
‘I’m dirty, so I’m going to have to get ahead.’
I was about to sigh when I heard an annoying voice.
“Hello? I’m sorry for the first meeting, but you’re so pretty.
“Huh? Yes…”
“Are you alone?”
“Yes…”
A man approached Kara and spoke to her. He continued even though Kara was drunk in her sleep and didn’t answer properly.
“That person…!”
Cerys took her arm and tried to stride her. She’s usually a coward, but when Kara is involved, that’s sweet.
I caught her and dried her up. That fist is like a weapon.
“Mr. Yooseong?”
“I’ll be there.”
After Cerys stopped, I approached Kara and the man.
“So, please give me a name…”
“Yes…”
“Ha… I don’t understand…”
“Hey.”
“Ok?”
The man turned to me. What are you again?
What is the most comfortable way to deal with it?
It reminded me of something my runaway brother told me in the past.
-At that time, this woman is my woman! She’s showing you what to do! Then the hunting cubs will go back to chewing shit!
This woman is my woman! La…
‘Wouldn’t hugging her be too much?’
He lightly held Kara’s hand.
“What! Yah…?”
Kara lifted her face up sharply. Her annoyed face loosened as she looked at me and the hand she held in mine, she lowered her head.
I said looking at the man.
“We are like this.”
He shook her hand as she held onto Kara.
“Ah… Yes, sorry. That… Be happy!”
The man bowed his head and returned to his party.
-Ah, you had a boyfriend.
-What is it, did you try to touch a girl who has a boyfriend? Wow, this is dog crap.
-You are more than 5m away from me. When I’m on a date, if it catches my eye, I’ll kill it..!
– No fuck, I didn’t know it existed.
– Garbage Shack.
– Kak-tup! Just hang around my lover. I know you’ll really fall behind
– No shit… I really didn’t know!!
-Shut up! Let’s get some sleep!!!
-…Sorry.
‘They are pleasant people.’
He smiled and tried to return to his seat. But Kara wouldn’t let go of my hand.
“Kara?”
“…Cool cool…Um nah…”
“Huh…”
She flexed her fingers to gather strength. She punched Kara right in the forehead.
It’s night.
“Evil!”
Kara rubbed her forehead and glared at me.
So who wants to pretend to sleep?
