Chapter 61 – Why Am I
“Hey, do you want to answer quickly? ‘Cause I’m in a hurry Might kill you?”
Humpback was pissed off at being quiet, so I braced my foot.
“If I press hard like this, will the hunchback’s back straighten or not?”
“Keep it off!! I put it. I put the medicine!”
“What medicine did you put in it?”
“It’s a sleeping pill!!”
“What were you trying to do with sleeping pills?”
“⋯⋯.”
The guy catches his breath. He’s rolling his head now.
“Oh, can you hear the head rolling? Roin, can you lend me your dagger?”
“Yes, here.”
Taking the dagger from the old man, he sat down on Hunchback’s back, grabbed his wrist, and cut off his pinky and ring fingers.
“Kuheuuuuu!!!!”
“Now, does Mr. Hunchback lose one of his fingers every time he responds one second too late? I’m kind, so I’ll blow two of them off as a service and start? What were you going to do after taking the sleeping pills?”
“Kkeuheugh, I tried to call my colleagues!”
“Comrades? Where are my colleagues?”
“Hoo-wook, whoo-wook…”
“Okay, stop this time.”
“Quaaaaa!!!!!”
The screaming hunchback’s face was a mess, tears dripping from his nose and crab foam at his mouth.
“If you ask me, answer right away. If you linger even a little, I’ll cut it right away. When you cut off all your fingers, where are you looking forward to cutting them off?”
“They are in a cabin just a short walk south of here through the woods! I’m waiting for you there!”
“Yeah, that’s right. What were you going to do next when you called those comrades?”
“That, that’s…”
“The index finger this time.”
“Kwaaaaagh!! Also, I tried to eat it back!”
“Am I killing?”
“Oh, no. The men are sold as slaves and eaten, and the women are sold as slaves when they get fed up with round bread.”
“Aha… In short, our hunchback man is a rapist and an illegal slave trader~? Right?”
According to what I read in the library before, slaves are only used for criminals who have been caught committing crimes.
It is illegal to catch and sell ordinary people.
Well, even if a slave feels unfair, there will be no one who will listen, so there will be no problem.
“Okay, thumbs up this time.”
“Kwaaaaagh!!! Why why!!”
“Why, I asked if he was an illegal slave trader, but he didn’t answer. With this, the right hand is neatly cut off. Now, the left hand is next.”
“Uhhhhh… Yes that’s right. It is an illegal slave trader. My main role is to lure women and gossipers from the village.”
“How many of them are in the cabin?”
“Huh, there are seven, seven.”
“Are there any prisoners held in the cabin?”
“Yes, there are two women I caught last week.”
“So there are a total of nine people in the cabin?”
“Yes.”
“Are there any colleagues who can use magic?”
“Ugh, my hand hurts so bad!”
“Come on, little finger.”
“Aaaaa!!!!!”
Maybe because the dagger was stained with blood, it was slippery, so my little finger wasn’t cut off at once, but only half was cut and tattered.
“Oh, I’ll cut it properly.”
When he brought the knife to finish cutting, the blade kept slipping because the bone was cut. I thought it would be difficult to cut it with a knife, so I stepped on my pinky finger, which was still dangling, and pulled my arm to tear off the skin. The skin of the little finger was torn all the way to the palm and fell off.
“Kkeuheugh!!!”
The hunchback rolled his eyes and began banging his forehead on the floor.
“Is there anyone who uses magic? Can’t you hear me well? Shall I cut off your ears so that you can hear me better?”
“Hey!! Doesn’t exist! No!”
If you knew how to use magic, you would be working as a mercenary rather than an illegal slave trader like this.
“Did you have an appointment to meet with them today?”
“Yes, it is done! I decided to visit you at night!”
“What if you don’t go?”
“⋯⋯. Yes?”
“Don’t answer questions with questions!!”
“Aagh!!”
He plunged the knife into the back of the hunchback’s hand.
“Oh, I got excited and stabbed the back of my hand! Sorry~ I asked what would happen if you didn’t go. Hunchback man, don’t you want to die? Answer the question right away.”
“Oh, well, I’m going to come over here first. Hehe.”
“Hmm, is there any more information to find out?”
“No, I don’t think there is.”
At my question, Natalia shook her head.
“Mr. Hunchback, where do I have to go from here to Arpagon?”
“Yeah, just follow the road and you’ll come out. This is a road that people do not use because it takes more time because it is a little roundabout than the original road.”
“Really?”
“Yes! It is real.”
“Hmm, is it? Bye.”
“What? Kkeokkeuk, kkeureukreuk.”
The knife was inserted between the back of Humpback’s head and the nape of his neck. It was honest and felt like it pierced my spine.
“Then what shall we do? If you sleep here, uninvited guests will come.”
Can’t sleep here The hunchback must have died too. That wagon is mine now. That I can do whatever I want.
I think the best way is to ride a wagon and move around a bit and sleep.
Raid their cabin and rescue the captured women? Why me.
It is none of my business whether or not the captured women are beaten.
If he wasn’t a virgin, he wouldn’t be a unicorn who would have seizures, but he wouldn’t be so brainy that he would force himself to eat a woman that others ate.
What about Natalia and Roin?
“What do you two want to do?”
“Um, can we just get on the wagon and move appropriately?”
“My thoughts are the same. I see no need to stay here.”
Both of them have the same thoughts as me.
“Oh, there is no talk of going to rescue the captives.”
“Do you want to go rescue Hanseong? If Hansung-nim wants that, I’m ready.”
Natalya always does what I say, what about Roin?
“What about Roin?”
“Um, why? You don’t know how long it will take to get to the cabin, and it’s a big deal if you get caught in a trap along the way. I feel sorry for those caught, but they’re not people we know, and I don’t think you have to risk anything to save them.”
Is Roin negative? The reaction of the old man is probably the average reaction of people in this world.
This world is a world of survival of the fittest, a desolate world in which it is natural to struggle to survive, where you have to grow strong and always watch your back.
Yes, it is a world where survival has become a barren joke, as someone said.
“Yes, I agree with that opinion. Let’s get in the carriage and get out of here.”
“I have already loaded everything. You can just get on the wagon and move.”
At Natalia’s words, I looked towards the carriage and saw that all the tents I had spread out earlier had been removed.
“Oh, that’s great, okay let’s go.”
I put all my luggage in the wagon, so I got on the luggage compartment thinking that I could go right away.
“⋯⋯.”
“”⋯⋯.””
All three got into the luggage compartment.
“Does anyone know how to drive a carriage?”
“I have never driven one.”
“Eh, neither do I.”
All three are unlicensed. Roin scratched the back of his head and said.
“If I just whip the horse, won’t it move on its own?”
“Um… I don’t think it’s a very good way.”
It would be difficult if the horse accidentally drove into a strange place and the carriage overturned.
Will the horse really listen? Words are living creatures and have their own thoughts.
It’s difficult if you don’t move as instructed. Eh, it would be comfortable if it was as hard as a skeleton.
⋯⋯.
Skeleton?
“Oh, how about killing the horse and turning it into a skeleton, with Natalya piloting it?”
“Ah. There was a way.”
I got off the luggage compartment and looked at the horse. The bright eyes are really pitiful.
You will die from now on
“Are you going to split the ship with a skeleton?”
“Yes, because it’s not good if the bones are damaged.”
As soon as the conversation was over, the steel skeletons approached and thrust their knives into the horse’s belly and cut it apart. Patter and intestines spilled out.
-Hi-eeing!!!!
As soon as the knife entered the boat, the horse resisted in its own way, but in the state of being restrained by the carriage, the resistance could not be calmed down.
“The work takes a little time. You are resting.”
“Hmm, that’s right…”
The skeleton cuts off the hide from the horse’s head, revealing his skull. As Natalya approached the horse’s carcass and said that, the old man who was watching next to me hugged my arm, rubbed my chest, and started blowing in my ear.
“Whoa… What you couldn’t do before, can you finish it?”
Roin also smiled and whispered in my ear, probably noticing that my cock was erect.
“Shall I take it out with my mouth like before? Or should I wash my ears and do it by hand? Whoa. After.”
Oh, got an erection.
