Chapter 95 – Chapter 7 – The Red Tarantula
The place where Jenny guided Klaus was none other than the pawnshop.
It was run by a woman who looked roughly in her 40s, and it could be said that it was just like any other pawnshop on the inside as well as on the outside.
Waiting for her turn and confronting the pawnshop owner, Jenny offered something from her arms.
“…”
Then, the owner of the pawnshop, whose eyes twinkled, said, ‘It’s ambiguous to deal with something like this right away.’
Shortly thereafter, she told Jenny to go inside and do a more accurate calculation.
Nodding her head, Jenny took Klaus and went inside the pawnshop.
“Welcome.”
Inside, a girl who looked like the pawnbroker’s daughter was waiting.
Originally, you would have to go through a simple task to know the exact value of the object right away.
The girl skipped that task right away and guided Jenny and Klaus deeper into it.
Finally, when she reached the deepest room in the pawn shop, the girl lowered her head and went outside.
“… Everyone doesn’t ask about my identity.”
“The fact that you have already come with me is a guarantee of your identity.”
It has to be. Even in the red tarantula, Jenny is not a single member, but a woman in her group.
Originally, when she came to the hideout, she broke the iron rule that she had to come alone unconditionally, and she had someone to accompany her.
It was a message that there was a really important issue, so they guided me without saying anything.
Jenny moved the rug from the floor to her side.
Then, as she brought the item she had given to the pawnshop owner on the wooden floor, a faint light was emitted and a magic circle formed and then disappeared.
‘Intruder detection magic. Even though it’s a very simple magic circle, commoners who are not nobles must have had to spend a lot of money to get something like this.’
In this world created by Klaus, commoners were really in the position of Eul.
It was only natural that he should not dare to disrespect a nobleman under any circumstances.
Even when buying things, there were often cases where people were overpriced or refused to sell them altogether, just because they were commoners.
The intruder detection magic you are looking at right now is what all nobles have.
It is an item that can be called a kind of door lock, but it is something commoners cannot even dream of.
However, the fact that it is attached like this means that the red tarantula has firmly established itself.
Kiki- Knock!-
“Come in.”
After disabling the magic circle and opening the door disguised as a wooden floor, Jenny goes inside.
Following her, Klaus also went inside.
Darkness soon greeted them, but Jenny held up a torch prepared in advance.
“… Why would you build a facility like this in the basement? Great.”
“Exactly, this is the place that was intended to be used as a shelter during the Continental War. The forces of the demons were too strong, and on the contrary, we humans were too weak, so we were swept away without a chance to hide and resist.”
As Jenny said, the human territory except for the southern part became a mess.
If the fairies and beastmen had not urgently sent reinforcements, it would have all been taken over by the demons.
In such a situation, the prepared shelter would not have been useful.
Maybe there was something like this even after making it, I probably forgot it all.
The two men and women walked like that for about 10 minutes.
“Please pause.”
After stopping Klaus, Jenny climbed up the stairs in front of her.
She then tapped something that was blocking her way, at a steady rate and with an unknown beat.
Crackle, crackle-. Right. Hard-.
Then, this time, a different sound came from beyond.
Right, tight-. Just-.
Even confirming her opponent’s voice, Jenny stepped back.
At the same time, the doorway opened with a rattle from above, and people wearing hoods greeted Jenny.
“Chief.”
“What are you doing? It’s not the report date.”
“You have a guest. I’ll have to guide you right away, so don’t neglect your surroundings.”
It is a sudden visitor’s visit.
So even though those who greeted Jenny can express enough doubts about him.
They just nodded as if they understood and returned to their positions.
Looking at it, Klaus couldn’t help but admire that it was amazing.
The group of private soldiers led by young aristocrats would appear to disperse at the slightest sound, shouting at the slightest sound, but those made up of only women were much more thorough.
Yes. A place made up of only women. ‘The Red Tarantula’.
Even the women are a group composed entirely of commoners.
Those who were weak enough to be in danger at the beckoning of nobles.
In reality, they were members of the red tarantulas that gripped the back alleys of the kingdom.
‘Everyone is different in what they do. Some gather intelligence, some finance, some spies, some assassinate. Did they even openly say that there are members who are active in the sun?’
The nobles would probably have been astonished if they knew.
The commoners whom they treated as animals, and among them the most easygoing women.
In fact, it was because they had created a secret organization underground like this and were steadily increasing their number.
After a while, they start working in earnest.
Beginning with the assassination of commoners, especially nobles who raped women.
He was even thinking of approaching the relatively weak nobles staying in the provinces, bewitching them with beauty or medicine, and then manipulating them to arm the commoners on a large scale.
‘If we leave it as it is, there will probably be a moment when the nobles are quite embarrassed. At the end of the day, the leader, who can be said to be the head of these people, is discovered and executed by an informant, and the group completely disintegrates.’
At first, I wasn’t particularly interested in this group.
It’s too radical and the risk is pretty high because it’s active in the shadows.
Above all, they hate demons as much as nobles, so it is a situation where they cannot unconditionally favor themselves who will be attached to them.
So, I didn’t really care about it until recently.
Originally, if you reach the highest level in any one field, if you become a deceased person.
Didn’t he say that he was curious about the parts he hadn’t touched?
I wondered what it would be like if I didn’t throw away the red tarantula and used it appropriately, but what is this?
The funding part, which had been causing Klaus and Julia a lot of trouble, was resolved very naturally.
‘At first, I threatened and robbed the money, but later I used it appropriately, and in the recent episode, I even built a cooperative relationship. But the most comfortable thing is the hierarchical relationship.’
So far, I haven’t made a point of contact, so I haven’t been able to create something that can go beyond a cooperative relationship.
But this time it’s different.
In this episode, he succeeded in saving a group of refugees while preparing for death at the beginning of the continental war for this moment.
And, of course, in that group is the woman who is now the leader of this red tarantula.
After a while, a pretty alluring person called the queen of darkness was mixed in.
“Please wait here for a moment.”
Stopping Klaus, Jenny passed the hooded people.
Then I went into a room, and that was where the queen of the underworld was.
“…”
“…”
While waiting for Jenny, Klaus looked at the people watching him.
All of them were women, and even though they were commoners, the energy I felt from her body was quite useful.
Being a commoner or a woman does not necessarily mean that the sense of battle is low.
Rather, there were many talents that were very useful but could not be properly used because of the yoke.
In such a situation, their leader, the leader of the Red Tarantula, recognized those talents.
And by gathering them, they succeeded in raising a group that could obtain the underworld.
It’s not usually easy to figure out a person’s ability even if it’s a brain.
‘I can’t be an ordinary woman. Even I was surprised at first.’
Just as Klaus thought so, Jenny returned.
She led the man who had followed her to the front door and stopped there.
This ideal meant that you went in alone and told me right away about the purpose of finding this place.
“Thank you for guiding me this far. In that sense, I would like to give you one piece of advice.”
“Advice?”
“You will have to refine yourself a little more. When those two idiots grabbed your face earlier. It was very fleeting, but it was a flash of life. Those idiots were just plain sane, so of course they wouldn’t have noticed, but I noticed right away.”
“… Is that why you came out?”
“There is that, and there are other reasons.”
In fact, 97 percent of the other reasons were, but I don’t think I need to mention that part.
Above all, Jenny faces several more times because of the contact with the red tarantula.
Therefore, it could be said that there was nothing to lose in the friendly atmosphere.
When Klaus asked if he understood her words, Jenny nodded her head and said thank you.
“It was an honor to meet Klaus in person.”
‘ He whispered in a very polite voice.
He tried hard to pretend otherwise, but the man he was guiding was almost a legend among the common people.
After saying goodbye to Jenny, Klaus opened the door and went inside.
The first thing I felt was, of course, the smell, to be exact, the smell of burning cigarettes.
True to her nickname of the queen of the underworld, the owner of this room was quite a smoker.
‘To be precise, she had no choice but to become a smoker.’
The leader of this place, a woman called Angelica, appropriately used her appearance burning a cigarette.
Sharp eyes, heavy makeup, an alluring figure, and even a slow-burning cigarette.
All of that went well together and made her wear the undeserved title of queen.
“This way. Customer.”
It seems cold, or it just doesn’t seem to feel anything.
Also, if you think about it differently, it was a very colorful feeling.
Klaus slowly moved his steps towards the owner of the room.
“I wondered what was going on when Jenny said she had a guest. But I never thought that the guest would be someone I never expected.”
A woman who turned her chair and lit her elongated cigarette, blowing her smoke.
It was as if I could feel her sticky sexiness just from the sound of her voice.
When Klaus finally reached the other side of her desk, she slowly turned around.
“It is an honor to meet you… Is. Klaus.”
It was only for a moment, but Angelica, the queen of the underworld, stretched out her words.
Klaus knew the reason well, but he never showed it.
In order to use that part of her, she rescued the group of refugees even when she was about to die more than 10 years ago.
“You seem to be the owner of the famous red tarantula.”
“She’s not the owner, she’s just a woman who’s got a headache, a job that’s important to clean up.”
“So she must be the one who owns it even more.”
“If I had to put it that way, I guess so. Talk less than that. It’s because I’m shy.”
At Angelica’s words, Klaus replied that she would do so with a smile.
Then, following her advice, he sat down on the sofa in front of him and looked around.
“It is a very secret place. It came through the basement and I have no idea where I am right now.”
“Smart people tend to predict the approximate location based on the travel time and the position of the sun. To do this, the most important thing is to hide yourself.”
Oh, I see. But what about this? I already know the location here.
Klaus muttered that to himself and couldn’t help but smile.
