I Became a Porter for a Women-Only Party. 236

Chapter 236 – 230 – Kill Me

Now that Tena has arrived, it looks like they are about to have a drinking session. Someone approaches Tena while rolling a wine barrel.

··· When was the last time you saw Thena drinking her drink? She thought about the most recent events engraved in her memory.

I got drunk after taking a sip that someone gave me as a joke, and while giggling, I rushed around and knocked over two barns.

Of course, this happened when he was very young and a troublemaker. It is impossible to evaluate Tena’s drinking habits as an adult based on what happened at that time. It’s just that her premonition is a little bad.

“Don’t act the other way. Can you think of anything that was your fault?”

···Damn my premonition. Let’s worry about myself. Because there was a werewolf with a scary face, with his arm wrapped around my shoulder. Judging by his physical strength, he is a skilled striker.

First, let’s think calmly. What did I do wrong at this party?

Did they do nothing more than join the club by forging their gender, enjoy lewd behavior at parties, and create a private organization in the form of a harem?

Capital punishment. Just kill it. If I were a combatant with an attachment to the party, I would never forgive this crazy porter.

However, how much does the other person know before blaming me? I was anxious and tried to put on a calm expression.

“Why is there nothing to point out?”

“Okay. I don’t know much about other fields, but the adventure industry is definitely a male-oriented industry, right?”

“I guess so?”

“It’s rough and eventful. It’s rare for girls to truly jump into adventure. That’s why there’s a special bond among our party members.”

The werewolf was pointing out my fatal flaw. I had nothing to say, so I shrugged his shoulders.

“When you donned an artifact and ripped your pants in front of piranhas looking for news, you took advantage of that bond, you know?”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t have a sharp answer back then.”

“Well, could you have done it any other way? The feeling of betrayal was a bit deep, but you have to look at it. I heard that Tena made me dress up as a woman in the first place.”

The werewolf, with his thick forearms, patted my back encouragingly. The food I ate for breakfast almost jumped out.

“Besides, you owed us a huge debt, so shouldn’t we forgive you even more?”

···Debt? In debt?

The word debt gives me goosebumps because I have many bad memories.

In addition to Adamantone’s 100,000 gold incident, the Long Sword Bank sent battle wizards…

“If you say debt, what debt is it?”

“Our party, there are quite a few people who have been hurt in one way or another.”

You really only say what you say, you werewolf sister.

“Wound?”

“The lovers who went on adventures together or the guys who came to the women-only party because their husbands died are, in some ways, better off. In those cases, at least it was love.”

The implications are dark. I looked back at the party members who were welcoming Tena.

Everyone has a bright expression, so it’s hard to guess who has a sad past.

“So for those guys, TENA’s women-only front-line party was an opportunity like no other in the world, and at the same time a sanctuary. Well, I don’t think TENA had intended it to be something like a mental illness rehabilitation group from the beginning, and they just felt comfortable hanging out with girls. I think I did.”

To be precise, Annihilation Party is a successful study. A fence I made as a test before making a party for myself one day.

It’s a fact that Tena decided to bury forever. Many of the party members who are like family will be upset.

The werewolf looked down at me with a grin.

“Your childhood friends are probably in a similar position, but Tena is a very special friend to us.”

Fortunately, it seems that I am still only known to the public as a childhood friend. If so, you’re lucky.

People outside the world might suspect that I came to the women-only party because I was lusting after women, but at least people inside the party wouldn’t have that suspicion. She knows that Thena recruited me directly.

···I think it would be better if the harem were kept secret. At least for now.

The muscular arm draped over her shoulder is scary.

“So the conclusion is. Oh, damn it. I’m too embarrassed to say it. Thank you for helping the party leader return safely. Bantai. Sincerely.”

Ah. I’m not saying I owe you anything, but the extermination party owes me something? Did you mean that?

I feel a sense of relief as my heart relaxes. If everyone thinks like this person, at least he won’t be despised by party members.

I waved my hand at the imaginary Eshen. You can go. I’m not in a hurry anymore. There is no need to be in a hurry.

“Haha, what? It’s all because Tena is good…”

“So I am! When I whimper and reveal my despair! Hiccup!”

Tena suddenly shouted loudly. While hiccuping. It looks like the excited crowd drank some alcohol.

More than the appropriate amount. Or something with a strong alcohol content. Maybe both. Maybe I’m just still weak to alcohol.

First, Tena’s face is red with intoxication. And that triumphant expression…

···Resurrected. A being from the distant past buried in dark memories. The nightmare Tenaga that ate Borvet’s barn during the harvest season.

Trembling in fear, I waited for Thena’s next words. And desperately ran to cover his mouth.

“Tan over there took my hand and said, ‘I won’t let go, never again!’ ‘I won’t leave you alone anymore!’ I almost cried!”

“Of course, hearing stories from yourself is the most fun!”

“Good job, Eshen. Thena’s famously heavy mouth opens right away!”

“And oh! What did you say again? ‘Look and say it directly. That means looking at your face and talking directly. Like this.'”

Thena jumped up from the pile of supplies she had piled up like a stage for her play, and spun around as if she was dancing with someone.

And while pretending to support someone invisible, he made a serious expression like a prince from a fairy tale.

“‘I love you, Thena.'”

It’s late. I screamed as I ran downhill, then slipped in the mud and landed on my face.

Then, covered in dirt and shaking, I looked up at the people. About a hundred extermination party members are looking at me in shock.

I calmly tried to objectify my situation.

Destruction party. A cult group that will turn away if something happens to Thena.

Me. The idiot who just threw himself in front of a swarm of piranhas.

There was nothing that came to mind except despair. I made an effort to lift one side of my lip and smile.

When someone grabbed me by the back of my head and lifted me up, I almost cried out for at least time to leave an epitaph.

“Well, the important thing is. There was a reason why Thena recruited the first male child of this extermination party.”

The one who quickly rushed in and helped me up was the werewolf from earlier.

She grabbed my collar, shook me, and shouted excitedly. The noise of party members has decreased slightly.

“Thanks to you, our leader came back safely alive, isn’t it!”

Voices of agreement echoed here and there, and then the werewolf lifted me up.

I closed my eyes tightly, wondering if I was going to get beat up, but fortunately that wasn’t the case.

Hangarae is the highest compliment that can be expressed through body language. Flying up and down into the clear sky, I responded with a clumsy smile to the cheerful party members.

And from the third hanggarae, I started to feel a bit of severe motion sickness. I gestured to get down now, but for some reason it wouldn’t stop.

It’s somehow unsettling to see that werewolf smiling with its pointy teeth showing. Maybe they’re trying to harpoon my semicircular canal, so I can’t escape.

···It may be a bit shameless to have kicked him out a little while ago, but I internally cried out to the imaginary Eshen for help.

I’m a little curious because it’s gotten to this point. Eshen? Nithro? Garam? Florica? Where are all my girlfriends?

Everyone said they would obey the summons. If so, they would have gathered at this campsite today and waited.

In that case, wouldn’t it be likely that at least one of them would come out to greet you?

···I think we should think about the mistakes we made to our lovers first rather than the mistakes we made at the party…

The moment I thought that, I noticed an unpleasant face in the crowd.

Right next to the werewolf, he encourages the crowd and instigates them to hang on to me even higher…

I was relying on that bastard in my heart. It’s shocking again.

“Essssstttt”

“Is this all you can do for the party’s benefactor? Blow harder! Until you reach the sun!”

“I won’t stop-!”

“Oh, it’s dangerous. Whoa! Everyone stop! Get back!”

Step back?

Although the werewolf was dumbfounded, he followed Eshen’s firm instructions. Everyone’s helping hand suddenly stopped. That is something that should not happen in Hanggarae.

The moment I reached the highest point, I measured the height. Taiga, aren’t you kidding me too much?

Soon I fell into the soft dirt with a loud crash.

I blinked away the stars in front of me and looked down to see Tena, with a grumpy expression, lying face down on my stomach.

“Sliding… Super save…”

“···Thank you so much, Tena, are you okay…?”

“Ugh… My waist… And tilted…”

Tena stood up shakily and then collapsed. I quickly helped Thena, and she fell together.

At that moment, I heard a murmur behind me.

“With this, I subdued the bodyguard.”

What?

“Hey, are you hurt? What are you all doing? What are you going to do if no one catches you!”

“Huh? Well, that’s true, but Eshen, I want you to step down-“

“Why do you throw a child so high when you don’t even know what to do? Everyone get out of the way. I’ll take you to Monica first!”

Because Eshen shouted with confidence and confidence, the party members nodded in agreement and stepped back. Muttering things like ‘I guess’ or ‘I guess we threw it too high’.

···I would have shouted if Eshen had not covered my mouth. You idiots. You fools who are fooled by Eshen!

“Uh, why is Eshen carrying that guy?”

“Because she’s injured, we’re trying to carry her carefully. We can support Tena.”

“Ah. But where is Sister Monica?

“He must be in a treatment center. Why do you keep asking me useless questions?”

“I see.”

“Ugh… Where…?”

“I drank too much. I need to lie down for a bit. Come on, boss! Get on my back!”

As Tena is supported by the party members, she moves away. But the place Eshen is taking me is not in the direction of the clinic.

What a trick. I gritted my teeth and looked up at Eshen.

Eshen buried her head in the bushes and smiled creepyly.

“Gotcha♡”

“···Were we playing a game of tag where we would die if we got caught? I don’t remember…”

——–

“This judge has concluded that the defendant, Tan Bhan Thai, is reprehensible. Therefore, this trial is being held.”

As I was dragged out under the lights, tied to a chair, I glared at the ‘judge’ in the darkness, unable to hide my anger.

Then the ‘executive officer’ grabbed my neck and made me bow down. I was so dumbfounded that I turned my head to the side.

“What are you doing, Garam?”

“Doing the job of a bailiff. Let the defendant keep his mouth shut out of respect for the sacred court.”

“Sacred court? What’s sacred? Is that a judge’s uniform, Villena? Where did you get it from? It’s so short that the sleeves eat up all the way to your fingers!”

“···Sahyeong, kill that bastard!”

“Please consider that if you kill, you cannot eat, your honor.”

I think the lawyer is Lilith. It is truly reliable. If this were a real trial, my head would probably have been blown off.

Of course, this cannot be a formal trial, and the location is not a court, but a cabin next to Eshen’s camp.

The members of the court and the audience are all familiar faces. A private organization within the party with a rather embarrassing name, ‘Tan Bantai’s Harem’.

Bilena, who was gritting her teeth, let go of her judge’s baton and lowered her head.

“Then I have no choice. Withdraw.”

“···Does that kind of argument work?”

“Quiet. Erina, cushion.”

As Villena whispered softly, Erina, who seemed to be in charge of the secretary, quickly brought out a few pillows for her.

Bile I spread it out on her chair and sat down. Finally, her desk is at the right height, so it feels like she has some authority.

Of course, I didn’t stop mocking.

“Is this the concept of a little judge?”

“Death penalty… No. Chastity. Chastity!”

Villena was about to throw her judge’s baton at me, but Erina quickly caught her and stopped her, causing her to come to her senses.

Villena, who could barely contain her anger, cleared her throat a few times and spoke.

“What day is today?”

“The 21st of the month of Vulcan. Doesn’t the judge know that?”

“On what day did Tan depart?”

“It is the fourth day of the month of Vulcan, Judge.”

“What if I add 15 days?”

“It’s the 19th.”

“It takes about 13 hours by transcontinental train from Borvais to here, so let’s say it saves us a generous day. So we should have arrived on the 20th, right?”

···But what?

There was a lot to do one way or another, and I also felt regretful.

So, I spent about half a day looking around the flower path in the ruined mountain village. Fifteen days and half a day.

The train was slightly delayed due to maintenance issues, so it was even later than that…

My dumbfounded expression is reflected in the window behind her.

And Lilith, who was astonished by my expression, made eye contact with Executor Garam, who was equally astonished.

Lilith shook her head.

“I never thought the defendant would be so shameless. I will give up any further arguments.”

“···Damn it!”

“You called a lot of people and made fun of them, but then you’re late? Then you shamelessly ask what’s the problem?”

“That was my crime. Shouldn’t that have been read out loud before the trial started?”

“There is no sign of remorse. Death penalty.”

“···That’s not how you do it.”

“Please consider that if you kill, you cannot eat, your honor.”

“···You’re quitting pleading, Lilith?”

“That makes sense. Withdraw.”

“Revoking the sentence is not like that! Release it, you idiots! What kind of trial is this!”

“The prosecutor speaks. The defendant does not even know the subject and is under the illusion that he is entitled to a formal trial!”

Florica stood up and pointed at me and shouted. I solemnly threw the book I was holding on the floor. Of course, it is not a law book, but a dirty book that Eshen hid in the cabin.

Morgan, Eshen, and Nidroga all gave thumbs up and shouted woo.

“Shameless! Shameless!”

“Citizens are angry!”

“Kill me!”

“My thoughts are the same. Death penalty!”

“Please consider that if you kill, you won’t be able to eat, Your Honor!”

“Withdraw!”

“I, the defendant, and Tannhäuser-Bantay also have something to say.”

I gritted my teeth and spoke lowly. And I realized that even though I tried to keep my voice down, no one would listen, and it would be drowned out by loud boos.

It seems that the volume of one’s voice is the deciding factor here. I cried out loud again. Villena calmed her audience and then rested her chin. She said, “I’ll listen to what you have to say.”

And at my next words, Villena’s chin slipped from her hand. Seeing her struggling, I gained confidence.

“You guys were there? Did you see everything?”

“What, what?”

“What’s wrong? Isn’t it blowing properly?”
