Chapter 108 – A Brief Date – Jurdias (1)
If there is one thing I have felt since becoming Lord So, it is that the darkness of the world is truly deep.
Things that an ordinary young man A did not know.
I came face to face with the dark side of society that I had heard about in the news, in movies, and in novels and games.
We need to deal with this.
That is the position of a man named Rouge Permaten.
The life of young man A, who used to go ga-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cheded every day, was over, and he had to do his best as the king of capital and the master of the labyrinth.
So I recruited this woman as soon as she arrived.
“Jurdias.”
“It’s surprising. “Lord So called me alone.”
Jurdias, who approached in his OL suit as always, seemed a bit embarrassed by Laura’s absence.
“Are you by any chance sucking a dick under that desk? Manager?”
“What do you think of me and Laura?”
“I think you’ll enjoy that kind of play.”
“If I want to do it, I’ll do it with you. Laura does it openly in front of other people.”
Jurdias scratched his cheek with a humble expression.
“Laura is sparring with Celica right now. She’s training in close combat, and she’s not the reason I called you for her sex.”
“Okay. I will answer seriously.”
Jurdias took a stance with his back to me, and I went to check that the door to the sex room was completely closed-
“Please save me ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!”
“…”
“Okay. No one is here. Then let’s continue the conversation.”
After confirming that the soundproofing was thorough, I held out a booklet in front of Jurdias.
“Women checked here, let’s gather information.”
“Have you looked through everything? All these women?”
“Okay.”
What is the data in front of me?
This is the personal information of women between the ages of 20 and 34 registered in the Permaten estate.
Where did you get this information?
Naturally, as the small lord of Permaten, he robbed the list of the people of the territory.
-No, why are you suddenly saying you want to check data on women of childbearing age?
-This is to see if there is a woman good enough to give birth to Fermaten’s child. Is there a problem?
-Oh, no! No problem at all!
The administrator was suspicious of my actions of her, but she quickly silenced me when I told her that I was looking for a woman to impregnate.
The fate of a person with Fermaton blood is to give birth to a Permaton and die.
If there is anyone who stops him from doing his duty, he is a traitor to the continent.
“There is something you must do through the Thieves Guild. Hania.”
“…Hania’s turn has come.”
‘Hania’.
If Jurdias refers to the bright side of the knights, Hania refers to the thieves guild master.
“Research all of these names I checked. The means and methods… Are a bit selective.”
Actually, I’m just saying this because I want to appear present.
There is no particular meaning.
Of course, what I want is something else.
“Face, body, age, occupation, abilities in the occupation, and social status. I think it would be enough to research just that.”
“On the outside, it looks like he’s just trying to find someone to marry, but…”
“That’s right. I plan to recruit him as a knight.”
Jurdias is also smart.
“There is still a recruitment notice posted in the Adventurer’s Guild for recruiting knights, but even though we have penetrated the labyrinth to the 10th floor, there is still no one.”
“Except for one person who approaches for shady purposes.”
“Can I talk about myself like that?”
“I was telling the truth.”
This is why I like it.
At first, I was afraid that he would betray me out of distrust, but now he talks to me with ease.
“Now that the existing recruitment notice has failed, we have to find other ways to find knights.”
“What about the slaves you get in the Infinite Labyrinth?”
“They are basically slaves. Shiro will take care of them, but think of them as ‘spares’ that can be replaced at any time.”
No matter how much she looks like a woman.
Even if they have the same intelligence as humans.
They are monsters.
It is a monster that kills people.
He is a criminal who enjoys murder.
They are no different from Benia of the Virgin Fraud.
“After going through sufficient personality correction and socialization at the ‘Ranch,’ you can promote him to the level of a knight squire, but it will be impossible to recruit him into the knights immediately after capturing him.”
“Okay, then I will do my best to investigate them. But…”
Jurdias pointed to the names shown in the list.
“Did you know something about it when you chose it? It looks like there are a lot of names I’ve heard of.”
“In what sense?”
“A beauty.”
“Tsk.”
As expected.
I thought everyone was ‘named’ in this world.
“They must be beautiful. Aren’t they all pretty people, starting with their names?”
“That’s right, but could you just tell me a little bit about the criteria for selecting them?”
I’ve listed all the gacha pickup characters as I remember them.
Since you can’t say that, you have to think of a suitable excuse.
“…Half of them are people I’ve been keeping an eye on for a long time, and about half are just guessing.”
“Just look at the name…?”
“I didn’t just look at the names. If I had to say it, I chose them based on the information I gained while processing official documents while working as a permanent resident.”
I pointed to the top of the list.
“I’m talking about a rough idea based on the area you live in, your place of residence, your age, etc. And the most certain information is… This.”
“It’s tax information.”
“Yes. This is a ledger that records how much tax was paid last year. Let’s take a look at what they have in common.”
I handed the tax payment details to Jurdias.
Jurdias quickly scanned the tax records, looked at the people listed on the list, and frowned at me.
“Young Master So. Aren’t you being too blatant?”
“Blatant? I’m just trying to make an external justification.”
“Young, unmarried women. Women who live alone. Although there are some exceptions, they are all like that. Young women who pay taxes in their own name.”
“Yes.”
When a family pays taxes, it is basic to pay taxes in the name of the head of the household.
And I cross-verified these tax payment details and personal information to select people.
Whether you live alone or rent, you live alone.
Pay taxes in your own name.
All the women whose names are the same or similar to the gacha characters in my memory.
‘If it spreads out like this, someone will get caught.’
No matter how loose the net, if there are many fish, someone is bound to get caught.
“So be careful when you send your kids. They might be accused of being stalkers for no reason.”
“Let me tell you that Soyoung is the girl the Lord is after. Then he won’t touch her.”
“That’s okay in its own way.”
The woman I’m after.
I wonder if the thieves under Hania are crazy enough to touch that.
Even if you touch them, they will all be repelled.
Most of these are gacha characters, and they are all women who do things.
“Then, Hania. Shall we investigate the first discovery ourselves?”
“Lord So himself…?”
“Yes. Me too, there will be a certain amount of attendants following you, but if you disguise yourself as much as possible, you won’t be caught.”
I took out the wax I had prepared in advance.
“Let’s go and change our clothes.”
“Where do you plan to go first?”
“A place where those without money feel the most desperate.”
I unbuttoned Jurdias’ shirt one by one.
“Casino.”
* * *
It is often said that gambling is a shortcut to ruin.
No matter how much the government cracks down, gamblers create their own gambling dens to avoid crackdowns.
And there are cases where countries create and operate legal gambling houses.
I also went there once on a date, and saw so many gamblers lose money there.
There is also a casino in Permaten.
I decided to go to the casino, hiding my identity, accompanied by Jurdias as an attendant.
“Well, now, now… “
“Huh? Why are you like that, Hani?”
I wrapped my arms around the waist of Jurdias, who was wearing a gray dress.
My reflection in the carriage window in the distance is literally-
A bully, himself.
Black sunglasses, Hawaiian shirt, white shorts, and sandals provided on purpose.
I thought it would be nice to wear such an outfit, but the aura of the original version of Rouge Permaten itself was blatantly bullish.
“…Why are you taking this so seriously, Lord So?”
“Uh-huh. Hania. “What did you tell me to call you?”
“Ha…”
Jur Dias briefly raised his head to the sky.
Only the dark night sky was visible, and not a single star was visible.
“…Baby.”
“Okay, Hani. Why are you so embarrassed today?”
“…”
Jur Dias turned his head back.
The few knights who followed me, in preparation for an unexpected situation, had stern expressions and didn’t say anything, but they were all barely holding back their laughter.
“…Information that Permaten brought a woman to the gambling house must have circulated. The customers may not know, but the dealers and managers probably know.”
I lowered my voice.
Those who informed the casino that I was here were, of course, the knights who followed us.
Information leaks out anytime, anywhere, and I have to move accordingly.
“Jurdias. You move separately from the middle. I will create a suitable situation, so find out the information about the person I am looking for.”
“I understand.”
“…Shall we go then?”
I held out my arms to Yur Dias, and Yur Dias sighed and crossed his arms with me.
“If Director Laura sees me, I might die.”
“It’s okay. Then I can cover it with my dick.”
“Yes. …But, so, darling…?”
“Why?”
“…If I wear that and have an erection, wouldn’t everything be revealed?”
“Ha.”
I spread my legs and stood proudly.
“Is that why you came wearing shorts?”
For sex appeal.
“Women wear tight dresses to show off their bodies, but is there a law saying men shouldn’t do that?”
“No woman usually shows her ax marks openly, right?”
“…Hmph. Let’s see if he shows up later.”
I walked towards the casino.
“Let’s go. If I lose money here anyway, it’s not my money.”
What kind of money?
Assets of the Permaten estate.
My chips are taxes.
