Chapter 10 – Ep.1 – Philmarck the Great Sword (2)
*
Even after a hard day, the sun sets in the end.
The night always visits us like that, and gives sweet rest to the awake mind.
The time of the moon when darkness is everywhere…
“Now, eat.”
According to the time of the month, a female thief threw a bowl at the man’s head.
A dagger stained with animal blood.
The body of a wild boar cut straight with it.
This and that circumstance naturally tells us that there is food in the bowl.
“… “
However, the man is hardly recovering his consciousness.
His body judges that he needs a moment of ‘power saving’ to digest the accumulated fatigue and pleasure. We call it the survival instinct or the restorative function of bodily mechanisms.
“Hey. Hey!”
However, such a restorative function, in other words, [Rest] Takes a considerable amount of time,
The female thieves don’t have the time to wait, and there’s no reason to do so.
“Get up!”
He immediately walked into the iron bars and kicked the man in the butt, demanding an immediate response.
“Ah… Black… “
Man wakes up Consciousness returns.
It would have been better if he had passed out as it was, but he finally regained his senses.
..Fuck.
“Eat. I can not hear you?”
Tok, tok-
..The female thief nervously touches a bowl in front of me.
“Eat before you tip over.”
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard such coercive words in just one day.
In this lawless space ruled by force and violence, there are no human rights and, of course, no consideration.
I took the bowl with trembling hands and inspected the contents inside.
Meat.
It seems that a lot of time has passed since it has already ripened. The bottom of the bowl is filled with red gravy.
“… “
After looking at her unwillingness to leave, I picked up the meat and carefully bit it.
Speaking of a fantasy world like this, you would usually say that the food is tasteless or smells fishy.
The meat they gave me was so good that I hurriedly bit into it without realizing it.
Maybe it’s because I’m so hungry. After being raped like crazy all day, this is the first meal I finally eat, so whatever I eat will be delicious.
“Is it delicious?”
Seeing that female thief smiling brightly made me feel like I was going to spit out the delicious meat I ate, but I nodded my head as I didn’t know what would happen to me if I showed my inner thoughts.
“Hey, do you know how to drink? Would you like a drink?”
Would you like a drink?
Know what to eat… No. Know what else to do
“Look at the eyes. Won’t you let go? Huh?”
… First, turn your eyes toward the bowl. I don’t want to get hit. Because it hurts so much
Every time they get hit, their head vibrates, to the point where their bodies automatically flinch when they raise their hands.
I just can’t understand what makes it so powerful. At other times, it seems like they are shaking their hands like a joke, but it hurts enough to lose their mind when they are in the right position… !
“Anyway, I’ll bring it so you can drink it too. Understand?”
She reluctantly spoke her own words, then jumped up and headed somewhere.
After I confirmed that she had gone quite far, she was able to take a closer look at the space around her.
This was a space that was literally a prison itself, blocked by the walls of the cave except for the entrance part that was tightly blocked by something like an iron bar.
“..Save.”
[Save point setting complete!]
Good.
It seems that the time has finally come to make full use of the save & load function.
All I have been given is this ability, so I have to understand it as quickly as possible and use it well in the right place.
“Hey, take it!”
“Ah? Now wait… “
As I was looking at the save completion message, a fairly large bottle flew in front of my eyes.
I stared blankly at the bottle that flew into my arms and watched the female thief’s reaction.
She gives me a pretty kind look, and I’m standing against her wall, sipping her drink.
I don’t know why the smile she sees through the iron bars suddenly feels kind.
I just
He hesitated for a moment at her kindness, then accepted the drink she gave him and drank it.
The liquid, like a mixture of half wine and half vodka, traveled down my esophagus and warmed my stomach.
“Kek, kek… “
“Poop! Is this poisonous? You’re a real boy.”
It’s not like that, it’s because I’ve been drinking for 10 hours without even drinking water… !
I hurriedly wiped my mouth with my wrist and gulped down the drink.
Originally, in this world, I would never have been able to drink thistagu because I was afraid I would vomit on the way.
“Hey~ Finally, let’s have a good drink. That should be enough.”
It’s not for her and her drinking buddy to drink. It’s not like drinking to forget the hard reality and give up.
“Phehe, hehe… Whoa… “
Soon the drunkenness will rise. The brain becomes hazy, the body heats up, and a throbbing headache will come.
“From now on, you will live here. The boss has already given permission. Remember that inside is your house. When you’re hungry, you can just buy it anywhere. It’s a specially designed space to hold hostages until the ransom money is taken out, so things like excrement are taken care of on their own.”
Okay. It’s a very convenient feature.
It seems to be a space where magic things are applied, right?
Even though it’s a rice cake, it still feels like a fantasy world. Being able to spit out nonsense like that naturally is possible because there is an unrealistic ability like magic.
It must have been a world where magic was fairly common. Even these thieves say it’s not a big deal.
There are many comics and novels that express things like space magic as high-level magic, but this place seems to be in a different position.
Okay…
“Whoa… “
Drunkenness rises
“Hey, if you can’t drink, drink slowly. Let’s talk at least while we look out.”
“Why don’t you just eat it? That makes the time go by better.”
“… Are you tempting Since I drink, my true nature seems to come out a little.”
“It is. Why do you do nothing and just stand there and watch? Touching and kneading freely… While you can do everything.”
“The boss told me not to touch it for a few days, so I’m putting up with it. I’ll remember what I just said a week later, and as soon as the boss allows it… “
Okay.
Okay.
You don’t touch it for a week.
“Road.”
[Loaded to the save point.]
“Hey, take it!”
A fairly large bottle flies in front of my eyes.
As expected, the flying bottle comes into my arms like before,
Leaning against the wall, the female thief gulped down her drink. Her eyes are very kind
As I silently watched her kindness in that moment, I immediately accepted the drink she gave me and drank it.
The taste is the same, the smell is the same,
The burning sensation that comes along with the throat is the same.
No alcohol at all. Probably will come to you soon. Because you just drank
“… “
First thing to find out.
If you load to the save point, you will return to your physical condition at that time.
Second fact.
Still, the memory remains.
Third fact.
At the moment you shout “Load”, You return to the save point. Without a moment’s gap, as soon as the words are finished, they return immediately.
“Do you want a drink? It’s pretty poisonous~”
And even when they return to the exact same point, people don’t seem to feel any sense of incongruity.
Let’s pass the time by drinking alcohol or moderately.
Until the day when there is a gap, I will somehow endure well,
As soon as you see it, use the save & load ability to run away.
…
“So, our band of bandits eventually succeeded in escaping with all limbs intact against those mad knights, spreading the notoriety of the renowned Philmark bandits even further! That’s it~”
“Yes… Well, yes.”
The female thieves, probably feeling more excited after drinking alcohol, began to tell their stories.
Stole some royal treasure, stole a necklace from a dragon’s nest, stole a holy cross and ran away…
It’s absurd to listen to people so proudly brag about such crimes. Why the hell are you doing things like that?
Of course, I have to listen very carefully to her story, hiding those negative thoughts.
It’s not particularly interesting, but it’s because you can get a clue to understanding another world.
Starting with what countries are, what monsters are,
The value of money, the flow of battle, the location of nearby towns,
People’s lifestyle and values…
Of course, just listening to a female thief is not enough to understand this world, but it is definitely better than not listening.
“So, after that?”
“Then take the treasures you brought and scatter them and sell them… “
“Ramie. How much are you going to say?”
..My listening ended with the appearance of a female thief and a thief boss staring at me with fierce eyes.
“Two, boss… ?”
She seemed to walk very slowly, yet very menacingly,
She placed her hand on the thief’s shoulder and ordered in a low voice.
“There is. I will do the surveillance myself.”
“Yes, Neet!”
An enemy named Rami noticed the strange air current emanating from her boss and hurriedly ran away from her seat.
“To… “
I was left alone, contemplating hundreds of times whether to load or not, and only kept an eye on her.
Those eyes that glared at me like ferocious beasts, kept staring at me with the momentum to devour any human or anything.
“Ah… I need to sleep now… Ha… “
Unable to comprehend what was so hateful, I just slowly turned back and tried to sleep.
Of course, I couldn’t fall asleep because the sharp eyes were constantly pierced behind me…
