Chapter 105 – The Dream of Owning My Own House
I left the cart in the backyard and entered the store.
The first floor is quiet as if no one is there.
“Thermia seems to be on the second floor. The two of you stay on the first floor. I’ll go upstairs and give you some comfort.”
“Yes.”
Thermia is probably in a fairly light mood right now.
She stepped on the stairs, came up to the second floor and looked around.
“Thermia-san.”
“Yes. I am here.”
When I went to the room where Thermia’s voice was heard, I saw her sitting helplessly on the bed.
I sat down next to her, took her hand and gently brushed her back, and Thermia leaned her head against her.
“They were kicked out of town. She threatened me, so I’ll never come again with Arpa Gone.”
“I see… Something, it feels strange…”
Thermia’s expression was subtle.
It must be so.
Because she said goodbye to the people she had lived with all her life and welcomed someone new.
“From now on, I will make you happy.”
“With Hansung, and with Natalia, Roin? It’s going to be noisy.”
“The four of us live together.”
“Are you two down there?”
“Yes. Let’s kiss Thermia-san.”
“Ah… Howup⋯. Jjook⋯⋯.”
Thermia clung to me as if trying to fill her empty heart. She put her tongue into Thermia’s mouth and felt it suck, then carefully removed her mouth.
Her turquoise eyes sparkled.
“I need to tidy up the house. I have to close the shop a little early today.”
“Can I help?”
Thermia shook her head at my question.
“No. I’ll do it alone. Since it’s a fresh start, I think I need some time to organize my mind and be alone. Can you understand?”
“Of course. Thermia. I will make sure to make you happy.”
“Thank you. Hanseong said she lives at an inn, right?”
“Yes. Miso Tara is staying at her inn.”
“Oh, you live somewhere expensive?”
“Sometimes you can make good money while working as a mercenary.”
“Whoops. Are all your luggage at the inn?”
“Yes. Not a lot.”
“Tomorrow is my house with my luggage, no, now it is my house. Come home. I will prepare the room for you.”
When I went to look around today, it was quite a big house for a family of three to live in.
I want to take care of Thermia a little more, but since she needs to organize her thoughts, I need to give her some leeway.
“I do. Then, shall we meet tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
After saying goodbye to Thermia and her, go down and find skeletons running around.
“Is it Natalie?”
“Ah, yes Hansung.”
“What are you doing?”
When I went to the room where I heard Natalia’s voice, I saw a skeleton wiping the floor with a mop.
Ah, come to think of it, traces of the affair with Thermia still remain in the room.
“I thought it would be better to clean it up, so I organized it into a skeleton.”
“Excellent.”
“Lol.”
Also, there are no angels. As I was stroking Natalya’s hair, an old man appeared from behind.
“Did you have a good conversation?”
“Huh. He said he’ll go home today, pack up some stuff, and prepare a room.”
“Can I help you?”
“He wants to sort things out by himself. I need some time to organize my thoughts.”
“Aha… Then can we go back to the inn now?”
“Huh. I guess that will work.”
Let’s go back today and pack our things.
From tomorrow, you should be able to spend a pleasant life together with Thermia.
*****
The Westway is a transportation hub that connects the western cities of the Pytex Kingdom with the capital.
Therefore, even at night when the sun sets and the moon rises, the city does not lose its vitality. There was an old man standing on a rooftop and looking down at such a lively night street.
The white hair that had leaked out made it possible to guess the years the old man had been through, but only the muscular body, which could be seen from the top of his clothes, overflowed with vitality as if he had escaped the passing years.
“I love the view of the street from here. Do you know why?”
“Ugh.”
With her limbs restrained and her mouth gagged, the man makes noise as if trying to answer the old man’s question, but he is gagged and unable to say anything.
“It is because I can see at a glance the streets that are within my grasp and that I own. So that’s good Everything that happens in these streets, or throughout the western part of the kingdom, is bound to be in my eyes and ears.”
“Huh.”
“If a guy like you who tries to siphon off the money and betray him shows up, he’ll get into my ears by any means.”
“Ugh!! Town!”
As soon as Hergel finished speaking, the assassination team members behind Hergel pushed his man close to the point of dropping him off the roof.
“Wherever you go, you can’t run away. Night always comes, so wherever the moonlight shines, everything is within my sight.”
“Town!”
“Did you flap your wings so hard to get out of the night city and fly somewhere? It will fall anyway.”
“Ugh!!!”
The shrieks of the bound man echoed down the street.
After a brief echo, the sound of human flesh crashing against the cold floor was heard.
Hergel, who looked down for a moment at the man’s fallen feet, once again captured his favorite scene in his gaze.
“Hergel-sama, a liaison from the Arpagon branch has come.”
“Bring it. And did you find out who is responsible for the hideout in the middle of Arpagon?”
“The liaison from the Arpagon branch says they know.”
– Knocked up!
Less than a minute after Hegel gave instructions, the door on the roof opened and a series of men entered.
“Meet Hergel.”
“Okay. Say it.”
“Yes. The first discovery was Arpagon’s transport guild⋯⋯.”
In response to Hergel’s short words with many meanings, the liaison started reciting the information he had gathered to Hergel. Hearing his information, Hergel fiddled with his own tail and was silent for a moment.
In that silence, the men on the roof stood still without making the slightest noise.
Hergel opened his mouth just as the moon rose in the sky and reached the mountain ridge of the plain in the distance.
“A threesome of one man and two women. You mean Maximus must have captured them?”
“Yes. After seeing them moving to the quarry, I planned a nighttime raid. Ten people attacked, so Maximus, the commander of the action, must have caught him.”
“Good night. Herendal!”
“Yes. Father.”
“Take Seller and go to Arpagon. Bring the guys in front of me. If you don’t have enough people, use the guys from the Arpagon branch. I want to see what kind of guys they are.”
“All right. As soon as morning comes, I will pull the wagon and set off.”
When Herendal opened the door and went out, Hergel called one of the assassins who pushed the man he had arrested into the street.
“Take, arrange another wagon to tail Herendal. Arpagon has Germi. As soon as Herendal crosses the city gates, news will reach his ears. In case an unexpected situation arises, protect Herendal quietly.”
“Yes.”
The moon over the ridge has disappeared.
The night deepened.

“Let’s unpack our luggage at Thermia’s house and go to Germi.”
You can stop by Fade’s house as well while going to see Germi. It doesn’t take long anyway, since we’re just checking to see if there was a slave trader at Fade’s house.
I went down the elevator and returned the key to the inn owner.
“How many days are you going to be away for a request?”
“No, I have decided where to stay. Leave the room altogether.”
“Oh, sorry. Regular guests are not common, but it was good.”
“I’ll come over for lunch sometime.”
“Yes. Good bye.”
After saying goodbye to the president, we headed to Thermia’s house. Natalya, who was walking beside her, took a deep breath.
“Oh, I feel very excited about something.”
“Are you going to Thermia’s house?”
“Yes, it feels strange to hear that a new member has increased.”
“You will get used to it in the future.”
If you think about Elina and Germi, two more are expected to increase in the future.
It’s troublesome if you don’t get used to it. Cancer.
“We have to enter this alley.”
I’ve been there twice, so I can’t get lost if I try to get lost.
“Oh, it’s a pretty big house, isn’t it?”
“Huh.”
It is definitely a large house compared to the houses around it. Seeing the old man in admiration for the size of the house, he smiled and knocked on the door.
-Smart.
“Thermia-san~ We’re here.”
After a while, I felt a presence inside and the door opened.
“Hanseong, are Natalia and Roin all here? Come on in.”
The structure of the house has not changed much from when I came and saw it yesterday.
Thermia showed a slightly embarrassed expression and led her to her house.
“Have you cleared your mind?”
“Yes. Thanks I think this is the first time I’ve seen it outside of a store.”
“Iknow, right. Let’s live happily together in the future. Oh, let’s start with a morning kiss.”
“Yes? Ah, haw. Chueup⋯. Chun⋯. I’m sorry.”
He gently kneaded Thermia’s buttocks and dipped his saliva into her mouth.
Well, from now on this is my home.
The dream of owning my own house. It’s not difficult⋯⋯!
