How the Regressor Tame the Villainous Lady 57

Chapter 57 – Witch’s Temptation -1 / Wrong Delivery? – One

A modest banquet was held to celebrate the victory.

‘Actually, I didn’t intend to celebrate the victory, nor did I plan to hold a banquet… ‘

I’m thirsty, let’s drink a glass of water and go— Come to think of it, I didn’t even eat, so let’s just eat and go—

Are there a lot of expensive drinks here? Okay, then bring that in for now— so it naturally became this kind of flow.

Actually, that was too.

“Haaaaa… “

Zeke sighed as if the table would sink below the ground.

Yes, actually, this place was a banquet to comfort Zeke rather than to celebrate victory. The alcohol on her table is now almost empty.

After clearing my throat, I spoke to Zeke.

“I did not know. I never thought it would have a unique ability in the form of an artifact.”

“Ehhhhh… “

Of course, the sighs only got louder, so I quit right away.

Each magician’s unique ability dwells in their own way.

For example, explosion-type magic for Alice, and seduction-type magic for Cheshire.

However, it is not only magic that possesses unique abilities.

As in the case of Zeke, there are rare cases where unique abilities are manifested in the form of artifacts.

‘But I didn’t know it was that ordinary-looking scale.’

Wow, it was a normal-looking scale, so I never thought it would be an artifact with a unique ability.

And I didn’t even think of it as 『The Balance of the Dawn』, Which measures the value of abstract things.

But then all of a sudden, Zeck started laughing. Ellis squinted her eyes and fired at her.

“…Are you finally out of your mind?”

It felt like Alice really hated Zeke. Especially since she kissed my foot.

Zeke, who had been laughing for so long, suddenly drank another glass of alcohol. After setting the glass down with a thud, he opened his mouth.

“I miscalculated in the first place. Huhuhu, it was something I couldn’t possibly calculate.”

“What?”

“Most people can’t even hold the balance of dawn in their hands. Because the amount of mana it contains is enormous. But the amount of mana you had was more than enough. I never imagined it would be like that.”

Although she was wearing her mask, her flushed face was nonetheless stark from her drunkenness.

It wasn’t that strange. The sake used at today’s banquet was Chuir, which is famous for its high alcohol content.

Asked as she looked at me with her coy expression.

A drunken, seductive woman. I inadvertently thought it was beautiful, but soon gave up on that idea. That was not the case now.

“Hey. How will you take responsibility?”

“Can I make a new balance of dawn?”

“…New ones?”

Zeke’s head tilts in one direction.

The fact that I mentioned “I will make a new one” Rather than “Repair” Seemed curious. I calmly took another sip of my drink and replied.

“Huh. I have the ability to make that possible.”

“Isn’t that a lie? No, if you think about it, you’ve never lied to me until now.”

It was only then that Zeke’s expression relaxed a little.

She was in the seat next to me, but she pulled the chair and closed the distance from me.
It was as far as her chest could touch my arm.

“Hey. Remember when I said I like confident men?”

“Maybe.”

“I like a man who has a basis for that confidence. You’re a strong, talented, and really fun guy… “

Jiying— Elise’s gaze shot like a ray of light, but Zeke didn’t seem to care.

“I wondered what kind of organization a man like that would run. Can you tell me?”

“It just creates a world that Blackjack hates. This world is so boring it will make you think of killing yourself.”

“It is absurd.”

“It sounds like that.”

So our banquet went on.

His tongue was twisted so his words didn’t leak out, but I could still vaguely sense that Zeke was drunk.

One example was the stories she told at length.

“Shall I tell you the story of when I first became a witch? In fact, men think witches are very light-hearted women, but they aren’t—”

“Once, an elixir made by mistake became popular. It’s an absurd energizer. I accidentally made it too strong, so I made it to a level where it wouldn’t subside unless I ejaculated, but it became very popular—”

Did she, who was always alone in her forest, really need her companion? She was quite excited.

However, every time Zeke’s coy gaze and story continued, a vicious killing spewed out from Alice and Cheshire.

It was time to put a stop to her story.

“Enough has been said, let’s get up soon.”

But Zeke shook his head and hugged my arm tightly. A large chest weighs down your arms.

“Add a line to the contract.”

When Zeke snaps his fingers, the ink floats in the air and adheres to the contract in the form of letterpress.

-Florian makes Zeke the Balance of Dawn no matter what. Tomorrow.

I asked just in case.

“Well, don’t ask me how to make it?”

“It doesn’t matter which way. Whoops.”

“Okay… What… “

It’s you, but what can I do? I managed to swallow the words that the medium to create the balance of dawn was sex.

Zeke floated mana in the air as if it were in a fishbowl, and I buried it with my index finger and quietly took a picture under the contract.

No, exactly at the moment right before it gets in the way.

“Jack.”

“Yes.”

“Are you a virgin?”

“Is it important?”

“It is very important.”

“Then I’ll just tell you a little bit. Don’t be too disappointed.”

Zeke looked at Cheshire once, then at Alice, then stood up and started whispering to me.

“Hey… I have no experience with men at all… Please don’t hate me too much though?”

“Right.”

If you don’t have experience with men, there’s nothing wrong with making the Libra of the Dawn. I even nodded and took a hit.

Elise, meanwhile, sprints up and separates Zeke from me.

“Lord, Master! Let’s go back! I have been here too long!”

“Okay. I will.”

She nodded and stood up as if she had been waiting. Both Alice and Cheshire seemed to want to go back quickly.

“…?”

But after that, Zeke followed suit.

“Why? Now I am a member of El Balom. Shouldn’t we go together?”

“Lord, Master! Will you take this witch with you too?”

Elise twitched her eyebrows. She had no reason to kick her out.

“Leave it.”

“Uuuuu…”

Alice grinded her teeth.

Hee hee. Oh yeah. The calculation is over again.”

As we walked along, Zeke, who was humming his song, clapped his hands loudly. Elise replied with a frown.

“What else did you do? Get away from the owner for now.”

“El Balom. Isn’t the name of the organization El Balom? I did the calculations for Florian, but I thought it might be an abbreviation for Elfriede fucking rom.”

Cheshire and Ellis snorted.

“Crazy.”

“If you’re drunk, have a good night’s sleep, witch~ Toweg… “

I got goosebumps all alone.

‘Wow, you’re really smart… ‘

◈

Returning to the Balrog’s residence, I sensed something strange.

I could put up with the female knights taking a break at least for once, but the fact that they weren’t resting in a comfortable position, but somehow nervous, was very strange.

‘What else?’

Alice, Cheshire, and Zeke waited outside for a while. Then, after applying the stealth magic, he carefully inspected the inside.

As I was contemplating who to ask about the situation, Tyr caught my eye.

She tapped her on the shoulder. Tyr was startled and tried to make her scream but held her mouth shut.

“It’s me. Tyr.”

“Town… ?”

Tyr looked me up and down her, then nodded at her. Judging by her senses, she too was restless, and it seemed that she was waiting for me.

“What’s the matter?”

“Grinder. Grinder is here… ! I think I came very determined!”

It seems that the Diamond Knight Grinder has finally arrived.

Among the knights under Denia, he boasts the highest level of swordsmanship. The one most loyal to Denia.

In other words, the most cruel guy.

I was afraid that there might be a dead guy among my men.

“What did you do when you came?”

“I found Lombard. Somehow, I hid Lombard’s appearance. Right now the Balrog is serving food to the Grinder.”

“Why did Lombard hide it?”

“I was wondering if the master would pretend to be a Lombard. It was just speculation.”

“Very good.”

She patted her butt. I’m pretty quick now.

I entered the building where the Balrog was serving the Grinder. Of course, while wearing the armor of Clover Knight Lombard.

“Oh, are you here?”

It’s been a long time since I took off my helmet. A keen-eared elf knight was drinking wine from a sumptuous cheese platter.

Judging by the fact that her face was red, she must have been quite drunk.

It must have been the confidence that even if he was drunk, he could defeat Balrogs and Lombards with his sword.

Grindpinder nodded her head in delight and smiled.

“Hey, Lombard. Shall I show you a simple magic trick?”

“Try.”

The grinder hit the desk with a thud.

“Water.”

Then the Balrog in the kitchen said yes, yes! After shouting, he chased after her and filled her glass with water.

“Puhuhhhhh… ! Isn’t this so funny? Lombard? Losing to a Balrog like this~ Does it make sense~”

“Things like that happen, too.”

“Is this enough? Is your revenge against the Balrog enough?”

“It’s okay.”

At the same time, the grinder bangs! He slammed the table with a sound.

Then swish, swish, swish, and swung the sword several times, and the table, food, dishes, etc. Were neatly cut and fell to the ground.

“Ha… “

I erased all the laughter, and after an instant, I glared at me as if a grindpinder would kill me.

“Then let’s take a moment to examine what you said and did to me. Huh?”

“Okay. What then.”

She points the tip of her sword at me.

“…I want to kill him right away, but since there is a cricket match with the queen soon, I can’t. Good luck. Are you okay? Right Lombard?”

“A cricket match?”

“The knights under his command are compulsory to attend. Haven’t you practiced? The moment the queen says that the game is boring, everyone will die, you idiot.”

Elfriede plays chess, Denia plays cricket… Why are the queens so anxious to bully the people under them?

I didn’t see it until the table was broken, but it turned out that there was a box on the floor. Grinder kicked it and pushed it towards me.

“What is this?”

“You haven’t practiced cricket, have you? It’s obvious if you don’t look. It’s not like they just played chess again. Then he was pathetically beaten by a balrog.”

“That’s right. Then her hair fell out and dishes were piled on top of her bald head. So what is it?”

“Cricket equipment imbued with mana. If you have this, at least one person can do it. Think of it as the price of your life and buy it.”

In other words, he meant that he would forcefully sell this equipment to me.

“How much do you want to buy this for?”

“Should I give you three hundred gold coins? Of course.”

For reference, a plate of Elise’s drugged pizza was worth about five gold coins. And two gold coins is enough money for a family of four to live on for a month.

… 이새끼가 미쳤나. I asked.

“Is it worth three hundred gold coins?”

“Two hundred gold coins for the price of your life. And a hundred gold coins in equipment.”

“Then is this equipment worth a hundred gold coins?”

“That’s natural. This is a bald. Don’t believe me I’m really sorry They even help me like this so that I can look good in front of the Queen. Even though I’m being cursed at, I’m helping… “

I nodded as if I understood.

“Two hundred gold coins, the price of my life, should be taken care of. I just want to re-price the equipment. Can I take a look?”

Grinder’s expression visibly widened, as if he thought it would be a great deal to bring just two hundred.

“Do it. What do you know?”

“There is a guy who is good at appraisal of equipment among his subordinates. I’ll bring it right away.”

◈

This time, I took Lombard to find Grinder.

I put on Lombard’s armor, and I was disguised as a ‘subordinate who appraises equipment’ by wearing ordinary servant clothes.

Grinder and my eyes met.

“It’s you? Knowing how to appraise equipment.”

“Yes. You’re right.”

“Then I’m going to look at the equipment, look at something. Don’t you close your eyes?”

“Sorry.”

I pretended to be scrutinizing the equipment. Grinder asks me.

“Don’t look at my face and answer me. Just by looking at her face, she looks like a parasitic brother who is known to be a woman, but is it true that she majored in equipment science?”

“From Valhalla Academy… “

“Oh, Valhalla? Then what will be fine?”

I couldn’t say that I had dropped out.

‘…But what is this?’

What stands out is the cursive writing on the inside corner of the box.

“Do you know how to read cursive, sir?”

“I don’t know. Look at the equipment.”

“…”

Hey, I don’t think you can really read.

Well, it’s not unusual for elves to hate human cursive.

However, the cursive written on the inside corner of the box was definitely ‘Denia’. Besides, the mana wrapped around the equipment is very good in my opinion.

Eventually I came to a conclusion.

‘I think I brought the wrong box…?’

“Excuse me, is there a reason you picked this one and brought it?”

“It’s second only to the queen’s equipment~ I brought it with the mindset of a friend.”

… Is this the queen’s equipment?

Grinder. She seems to have brought Denia’s equipment by mistake.

“Yes. It’s worth a hundred gold coins. Buy it, Mr. Lombard.”

I really want to buy it this time.
