Chapter 58 – War of Defense
It’s already been 5 days since I came to [Ekdona Castle]. Days passed, but I hadn’t met Blue Blue, and I didn’t even bother to meet him. But when I returned to my room, I always saw signs that someone had been there. Well, it’s me, I always drink with the men and come in late, so I don’t feel like I’m avoiding them on purpose.
From the second day on, they lived hunting during the day and killing time at a bar at night. I didn’t go to the custom shop because the necklace hurt my eyes. Maybe that’s why it was always late in the morning, past midnight when I got to my room. Waking up in the morning is very tired and painful, but as long as I can avoid meeting Blue Blue, coming home late is nothing. Being forcibly raped by someone is not a very good experience.
“Ah… Let’s sleep a little longer.”
“Wake up. You should go hunting.”
“Ugh, the smell of alcohol. Stop whining and go away.”
“The smell of alcohol is coming from you, so wake up.”
“Mister, I will sleep better.”
The voice calling me is a little annoyed. I also know that the owner of that voice is Serena. In the game, it’s pretentious, but it’s still a kind and fragile image, so it seems that it has become a similar personality even after being transferred. Thanks to that, sometimes I think I might be a mother.
“Come on, quickly.”
“Ah, because I did”
Serena got me up and dressed me in her hunting clothes. Another dirty day has begun.
Wearing the priest’s robe, which is easy to wear, meet with the District Prosecutors’ Office and head to the requested shop. It’s still gloomy and filthy quiet outside.
“You guys take today’s request.”
“Perrin, where are you going?”
“Stat check.”
“… Be careful not to be bewitched by the clerk.”
“Okay.”
Leaving the two men checking the bulletin board in search of a request, I went to the pretty blonde elf clerk. Even though this place is shabby, it was nice to have a blonde elf girl. If you dare to ask for my age, there will be more than me anyway. At least since it’s an NPC, it’s probably not a man inside.
“Hey, I’m going to take a stat test.”
“Yes, please come this way.”
She didn’t even do a physical examination like when filling out an insurance card at the [Rubo Castle] Commissioned shop. Instead, taking off her clothes in front of a room like an x-ray room filled with blue magic circles was the same. When she is completely naked, she looks down at my white and slightly thin body for a moment and simply dazzles.
“… Did your breasts get a little bigger?”
Her impression was that much, and she walked to the center of the magic circle and reached out her hand. Then a familiar message popped up in front of me.
[Analyze your stats… ]
[Analysis complete]
The magic circle that appeared in front of me moved around and changed to the form of a stat window. I was a little nervous about how much the level had actually risen. I can’t just be dying here every day. The level-up efficiency in this area drops drastically the moment you reach 40. So when the level gets close to that, you should be able to go back.

“Whew… I’m still level 34… Why has the charm risen so much? Maybe it’s because of the blue… “
I didn’t even want to think about it. I don’t even want to check…
Still, let’s check it out. I put my hand on [More▽]. Every time I looked at it, my face turned red and the contents were listed. It’s because I’ve been transferred and lived wrongly, so who’s to blame? No, there are overflowing and overflowing people to blame.
“Ugh…”

“… Wait, why is your romance number 9?”
No matter how much I think about it, I’ve never thought of a prince or Done… Yes…
In my dreams, princes and dones kept appearing and attacking me. I’m kicking myself out of it every time, but it might be because of that. Or is it because of the picture Blue Blue gave me… I subconsciously checked the photos once before going to bed and went to sleep. Otherwise, I can’t sleep well, so I keep tossing and turning even though it’s late.
Ayy, sleeping with a guy is still bad. [Different sexual orientations] Must have been due to watching Reds play right in front of them. Anything sexual is an attraction bonus. Very.
“… After.”
Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I came out of the stat test room and put on my clothes. As I have been lacking sleep lately, it seems that I have become more and more unconscious about wearing clothes. White underwear is worn up and down, and a suitable cloth is wrapped around it, and a robe is put on the outside.
… But do you think your breasts really got bigger?
When I came out with a bitter expression, the clerk looked at me with a worried expression.
“Have you ever been cursed?”
“Ah, no. There is no problem getting commissioned.”
“I’m so glad. When I work here, I often see people coming out of the stat test room with scary faces. Because such people usually decide to retire…”
“Haha, that doesn’t happen.”
When did I become able to smile effortlessly in front of a woman like this? I definitely feel like I’m getting more relaxed lately. Freed from the male brutes whose only thing on their mind was sex, I found some composure. Even myself… It was a race with only sex in mind.
“Shall we go to the lobby?”
“Yes.”
Guided by the pretty blonde elf clerk, we come out of the stat check room and into the lobby. Two people were still waiting in the lobby. I hurriedly ran between them.
“Oh, did you wait a long time?”
“Nope… It’s a bit serious.”
“This area must be under control, but who ripped it like this?”
“… Yes?”
We solved dozens of quests at once. That’s why I must have caught almost all the monsters. But the cork bulletin board had more request sheets ripped off than we ripped off yesterday. Almost all quests near level 35 were at the level of annihilation.
“… Asking to pay taxes like that.”
“It means ignoring control or monopolizing it and drying it to death.”
While the District Attorney is by my side, Serena approaches the blonde clerk and begins to argue. Why is there no request? Who monopolized the request? Did you know that the lord of this castle is the [Roots] Guild?
Most of the dozens of questions were variations of that question. Serena looked amazing as she poured her words out of her mouth like a woman who was really thinking about buying things. Eventually, the blonde elf clerk lowered her head and started talking.
“Sorry. Guest information is unknown. We only look at level and fit. But I know the impression. A warrior wearing plate armor with a fist mark engraved on his chest, a warlock wearing flaming pauldrons on his shoulders, and three hunters wearing mysterious chain mail armor with unknown materials accepted about 20 requests yesterday.”
Normally, you wouldn’t be able to tell just by simply listening to the explanation, but [Armor of the Courageous], [Pyromancer’s Robe] And [Smelter’s Cry] Came to mind in turn. It was the armor worn by the people I met at the bar a few days ago. It was their impression that seemed to be mocking.
There is no way that a blue-blue scout, with an item level of over 350 and about to awaken, could not have caught the enemy guild. However, you should know that I am sweeping up all the requests here, and that I am not paying almost any fees to receive requests.
It could be that the number of people of the same level as me suddenly increased by chance and the number of requests decreased. However, since the three people he saw at the tavern said they committed it, this was clearly done with an aim. An area exclusive to [Roots]. He must have been aiming for my growth retardation by paying a high commission in an unpopular hunting ground.
And in fact, it is safe to say that slowing down my growth, protected by [Luts] Guild leader [Fenrir], Is an act of hostility against the entire [Luts]. There’s no way Done didn’t do something. At least it was clear that it was going to be a fight.
It would be nice to meet the owner of this castle, Blue Blue. I didn’t want to see you again…
“Today’s hunt has ended, but Mr. Perrin, are you going out without a request?”
“No, hunting experience here is garbage. Let’s rest today.”
“Well, it’s nice to have a day off.”
Today is going to be a really eventful day. The two men left me in the inner sanctum and left wherever they were going. I passed the time walking through the alleys within the castle. Walking around the alley, a garden appeared.
Just past morning, perhaps Blue Blue will wake up and go to the garden. As he waters his houseplants, he says to himself, ‘Hello~ You look good today, pink!’ I don’t know why I even found out about this. Where would you pick them up?
Look there, it really is.
“Annyang! I feel strong and strong today~ Ferenga.”
Even if you talk to ordinary flowers, not monsters, no answer will come back. Of course you know I’m approaching with the scout’s passive skill, but I just met the blue and blue as if it was a coincidence. Blue and blue also saw me and couldn’t shut her mouth in surprise that my embarrassing behavior was caught.
“D-Did you hear?”
“No, you knew I was coming anyway.”
“No, I didn’t know. Really.”
“… Wait, are you brainwashed? [Purification]”
“No it’s not! Why did you appear today when you always avoid it at night? Can you make a doll and stuff it again?”
“No, that’s nice too, but… Heungheung, this is not true. Sinister guys appeared in the castle.”
“Hey, Miss Perrine. I am the lord The threat elements detected in the castle are properly eliminated.”
Some of my words seemed to have touched a blue-blue nerve. Blue Blue gets angry as he approaches me and puts his forehead together and grabs her by the shoulder. I feel like my thin shoulders are being crushed because his hand is too strong. Sick.
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Me! Are you weak?”
“… Sorry.”
I spoke to the blue-blue while holding the broken shoulders and pouring [Prayer of Recovery].
“There are some openly sinister guys blocking my path. I didn’t get into a fight over this, but I’m sure he’ll walk away. [Armor of the Courageous], [Pyromancer’s Robe], [Call of the Forge]. Here is a list of their equipment.”
“Wait, did you come here to openly quarrel with [Luts]?”
“Yes, isn’t my level up a pretty important thing within the guild?”
“… Miss Perrin, how do you know that?”
“Anyway, it means that there might be an infiltrator in the guild. You don’t know why this castle was taken, right? Expand the search range to neutral guild guys.”
“Is this, it’s been a while? Hehehahahaha!”
The blue-blue started to laugh like crazy until it caught on from ear to ear.
He hadn’t experienced it with this body yet, but his heart was secretly pounding at the mention of war.
