Chapter 12 – Sewer Scout Request (4)
“——Owaaaaa!!!!!”
“—Hikkyaaaaa!!!!!”
Fear!
We were completely taken over by fear!
Me and Francesca were fucking fucking right next to each other. In the face of primal fear, human reason was so fleeting.
“Two!!!! Chuck!!!!!”
But even in the midst of that, we did our duty.
I threw Francesca all the way to the iron bars with all my might, and Francesca flew all the way to the bars while pouring all sorts of junk out of the poncho.
“I’m sorry!!”
Francesca landed on the floor with her whole body, making full use of her voluptuous breasts as a cushion. Then, with a semi-automatic movement, he took out a tool from his bosom and attempted to hit the iron bars.
But I couldn’t watch her action anymore.
“Sibaraaaaa!!!”
Coming up! This bastard is coming up to my cob!!
Because of the armor, it was impossible to dig into the waist or shoulders, so it was about to bite the open cob.
Damn historically, I can see why soldiers wore helmets even if they didn’t have armor. I also wanted to buy a helmet later.
I ran out of research grants this year. I will definitely survive and upgrade my Daegaltong defense.
“Leave my colleague, you bastard!!!!”
Gentrick helped me twist and run wild. His sturdy wooden shield struck the insect on my back.
Poop!!
With a plop!!
With a slight creepy sound, the katydid fell off my back and fell into the sewer. As soon as I felt the heaviness of my waist dance, I burst into tears and burst into joy.
“I like the triple shield!! The shield is great!! I love you Gentrick!!”
“I’m not even happy to hear from a guy!!”
After all, men don’t need to wear helmets. Instead, all you need is one damn reliable shield. This is why you must have a tank in your party. Human Shield Gentrick.
At that time, Tirsi aimed the wand at the back with good timing.
“Ice mana flowing in the north, an instant shield to defeat the ruthless tusks!! !!”
Look how fast it is. Even if the outsider’s specter is covered, it will be slower than that. Tirshi proved the theory that people’s abilities are heightened in crisis situations with his tongue.
At that point, it’s almost pointless. It took less than a second to memorize that long spell. Tirsi was a woman who could be put down on her fucking resume with a 1-second cut of the incantation chant.
Awesome— Parching!!
The sound of the ice freezing was so thrilling.
A large ice wall completely blocked one side of the passage, including this wide sewer passage and drainage channel. Anyway, it was a fucking big shield.
“Aww! Blocked!!”
I was so happy that I cried out involuntarily.
“Have you done it!!”
– Empty! Empty! Empty!
Of course I couldn’t do it.
There was a dull sound of flesh hitting the wall. A group of katydids whose compound eyes had lost their eyes at the prey in front of them were slamming their bodies into the ice wall.
“Dogs! Men who are obsessive are not popular!!”
“It’s not a dog, it’s a bug!”
Gentrick made a damn accurate point. And! Fuck I didn’t know that even though I had a master’s degree! The katydid is not a canine family, but a grasshopper gynecologist! That was the wisdom of so many years!
“Oh, it won’t last long!!”
I opened my mouth to say something to Grandpa Gentrick, the fucking sage, but suddenly Tyrsi made a remark that was even more absurd than Gentrick.
“Four?! No, please use your strength!!!! If that gets pierced, we’ll all be bitten by bugs and go looking for it!!!!!”
I screamed for the sewer to go away. Does it make sense to be so fucking bronze tier that you can’t even block iron tier monsters properly?
But it actually made sense. I also didn’t have the confidence to win against 20 iron tier thugs just because I got bronze.
“Sorry!!!!! The intensity is not the problem, the time limit is!!!!”
Tyrsi squealed as she grabbed the wand. Fuck you can’t help it Since the range was increased with the momentum to completely block this wide aisle, the maintenance time must have been reduced by that much.
Cheeky!!
When I wondered if it would be better not to do this and run to increase the distance while his shield was up, Francesca jumped up with her arms wide open.
“Open!! It’s open, everyone!!”
“Oh oh! Well done!! Very good!!!!”
At Francesca’s words, Gentrick jumped in without looking back.
I was afraid that this old man would abandon his comrades and live alone, but Gentrick grabbed the heavy iron grate lid instead of the short Francesca and lifted it up. He ran first and created an opening for his comrades to escape!
“Come on in!!”
“Gentrick, why are you so good at your job!!”
I carried Tirsi, who was lying on her stomach, on my side, and ran towards it.
… Great!
And when it wasn’t long before the iron grate, a fucking scary sound started coming from behind.
─Wow! Clink!!
“Uhhhhh!!!!”
I ran through the sewer the fastest in my 28 years of life. Tyrsi and I ran desperately into the sewer passage.
Awesome!
Chunk!
Less than a second after we jumped in, Gentrick closed the grate lid. The large katydid bugs couldn’t slow down their rush and clung to the iron bars one after another.
Doo doo doo doo!!
In the blink of an eye, the large compound eyes and swarms of pears unique to insects filled the front of the grate. What kind of pestilent insects do the moving sound like a machine gun?
“Aaaaa!! Damn you fucking!!”
I got goosebumps and my back itchy. Isn’t that because the baby foreleg attached to my back is still there?
No, more than that, what if they open a gap and come inside? This iron grate had a retractable structure. Even those who didn’t have the intelligence to open the door could have opened the gap if they rubbed it here and there.
“Profit!! !!”
As if she had the same thoughts as me, Tirsi, who had been exhaling heavily, skipped the spell and fired the magic as if she were venting her anger.
PABABABAK!!
Arrows made of ice pierced the iron bars with the momentum of a missile.
The arrow was a mass of pure cold air that was not accompanied by physical force. The arrows stuck in the iron bars did not push the iron bars away, but the iron bars were hardened into ice, encircling some katydids clinging to them.
─It flinched.
The insect legs, which had escaped from the bars and wriggling, froze and stopped. With this, the entrance was completely sealed.
Oh, if that’s the case, I’ll admit it. Silence returned as the katydids stopped moving.
Knock… Knock…
The sound of dripping water was very loud.
For a long time, we gnawed like zebras next to a sleeping lion, and when we were sure we were safe, our shoulders relaxed and we were relieved.
“Sah, lived… I thought I was dying…”
“I totally agree with you.”
To Francesca’s weeping, I also responded with deep emotion. I thought I was really behind. Who would have known that there would be a spectacle marathon with ancient products in the sewer?
Francesca looked at me with her watery eyes as I responded with full force of her empathy. And her breasts are huge.
“Sir, actually I’m a bit tired…”
“I don’t agree with that.”
To make someone a peeing comrade.
“Huh…”
“Haha. It’s okay. At first, I often got bored during quests, too.”
Gentrick laughed. It was a fact I didn’t really want to know, but since you did a lot of carry today, I decided to just skip it.
And after we finished reporting each other’s underwear condition, we looked at Tirsi as if we had to.
“… What are you looking at?”
Our bronze class party leader averted his gaze with a red face. The two attractive legs were bow-legged.
I nodded solemnly like an archaeologist right after digging up a rare mystery.
“Fine. I can’t smell anything because my nose is stuffed up.”
“Let’s go back!! I have to report it to the guild!!”
Tirsi hugged the wand and shouted. We didn’t ask any more useless questions.
Anyway, reconnaissance was no longer possible in a place where killer bugs were rampant without parents. This was something that had to be reported to the guild and the guard post to go through quarantine in earnest.
“Let’s do it. I don’t know why it’s full of monster bugs like that.”
“Those are worms that originally live in sewers… Usually not that many, but…”
Francesca looked at the quick-frozen katydids and said, but I honestly didn’t care. What the hell are we supposed to do knowing that? If you’re really curious, the guild should call Pablo in another world and ask him to analyze it.
Gentrick sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
“Whoa. Anyway, let’s go. If you take this road, you will be able to get to the surface.”
“Yes. I also want to quickly go back to the inn and rest.”
“I’ll buy some underwear on the way too.”
“… Why are you looking at me and talking? Am I perfectly fine?”
We grumbled and walked down the road to the ground. It was a day when the damn rainbow bridge came down right in front of me and then went back.
This is an iron tier quest no matter where you look at it. We almost fell behind.
***
We crawled out through the emergency exit to the ground level.
The door to the exit was a structure that could only be opened from the inside. We, who were inside, came out the door without much trouble, breathing in the fresh air under the blue sky and weeping.
“Everyone gather here and stand.”
Tyrsi, who casually put down the lantern and map, said. We moved as she told us even though she was puzzled.
As we gathered together, Tyrsi drew her wand and cast her spell.
“Leave. The traces of negativity that pollute the body. This is the wind of detoxification, the southern wind. .”
After all the spells had been memorized, a cold wind blew up and down one at a time. I involuntarily closed my eyes, but the wind quickly stopped.
“What, what? Now.”
“It’s wind-based disinfection magic. It is used to remove odors and light dust.”
Tyrsi explained to the bewildered Francesca.
“It works better than commercial odor removers. Without it, honestly, I wouldn’t have been in there.”
“Oh oh! Really! The armor doesn’t smell at all!”
Gentrick said delightedly at the smell of his armor. In response, I brought the bandage from his arm to my nose, realizing that it was iron and didn’t smell like anything anyway.
Still, there was no stench from the sewer on the clothes. Even in the mask.
What a fucking magic dog. Damn I know how to speak runes too, but should I learn magic?
“I will return the lantern and map and report to the guild. You may go in first. Since you quit the request midway, the reward will only be given after the situation is over.”
Tyrsi said as she packed her things with a tired face. Then Gentrick took a step forward.
“Are you going to return it to the guards? So, leave it to me. I will bring it for you.”
“Nope. That’s all for the party head. Everyone must be tired, so go in first.”
“Um… If so, I will be grateful for your consideration.”
“Yeah. Let’s go first.”
A calm refusal sent Gentrick back. This time, Tyrsi bowed toward us.
“Nord and Francesca, too, you worked hard today. Goodbye everyone.”
“Yeah! Mr. Tyrsi, please be careful when entering!”
“You worked hard.”
After greeting, Tirshi turned around and left. He must have been tired, but his back was impressive with a straight back.
Francesca stood for a while, then she whispered to me in a small whisper.
“… Maybe she’s going to buy new underwear.”
“… I don’t know if that person’s underwear has become gold class, but my eyes are starting to turn yellow.”
Now I know what it feels like to have a headache from being tired.
Maybe it’s that you’ve been in a sewer that’s so dark that you’ve passed out for hours, and then you come down to the sunlight and you’re dizzy before your eyes.
“Oh. I’ll return the mask here.”
As soon as I got on the ground, I gave the mask I took off to Francesca.
“I was going to wash it and give it back, but thanks to Mr. Tyrsi, it doesn’t smell at all. Or should I wash it properly next time?”
“Nope. You can just give it to me now.”
Laughing hehe, Francesca put the black mask into his arms. Gentrick also took off his mask and greeted us.
“Then I will go too. See you again, young friends.”
“Yes. Come in. Goodbye, Francesca.”
“Both of you, be careful going in!”
Thanks to crossing the line together, there was no awkwardness at first meeting.
Grandpa Gentrick left coolly, and Francesca ran with a bright smile. I also moved my feet to return to the inn.
“I’m going to fuck you.”
I was so damn tired. You should go home and sleep right now.
It’s someone else’s house where you pay to stay.
***
Returning to the inn, I fell into a hole until the next morning.
It was almost as exhausting as the all-nighters during my graduate school days, but there was nothing strange about it. I almost lost half of it, but I survived. It was as natural for the body to want to rest as for the testicles to stretch in midsummer.
I woke up, brushed my teeth and washed my face, and returned to my room.
“Write it, you have to exercise.”
It was the start of my morning doing basic strength exercises taught by Professor Brahmaton.
A detailed course of exercise is omitted. I’ll tell you all you need is a fucking heavy stone and guts.
“Whoa…”
Appropriate muscle overuse contributes to the vitality of life. Muscle pain? If you exercise like that, you’ll get better.
‘It’s a pity there’s no place like a playground to run freely.’
The only downside was the difficulty of jogging. It is Sargadis that there are many people wandering around from dawn. There were many obstacles to running on the street.
I’m looking for a large site like a park, but I haven’t found a space that stands out yet. It was unfortunate.
─Trumbling.
I finished today’s workout and went down to the first floor. Didn’t wear armor. I was thinking of going to the bathroom to wash up after eating.
“Five. You are awake.”
When I went down to the first floor, Dorca, who was washing the table, saw me and greeted me.
“Good morning. I slept well and feel refreshed.”
“What about breakfast? It’s been a while since the sun rose. It’s lunch already.”
Dorca chuckled.
We’ve been talking to each other for the past few days. Looking at it for a while, it seems that Dorca made the offer first because it was annoying to use honorific words, but she just accepted it because her face was too scary to refuse.
“I wake up early, so half of my day is already done. If you were thinking of saying good morning and quietly eating breakfast for free, give up. Now is the time to get paid.”
“Damn it.”
Is there a way to cancel free rice due to fucking time over? It’s not even a hotel breakfast, and the policy is ruthless. As he clicked his tongue, he flicked the 1 copper he had taken out of his wallet with his fingers.
“I’m getting dirty with money in the morning. If I take a bath today, I will have to pay for the bath again.”
“Quack. Can you star Oh, but the breakfast dishes are already out.”
“What is it, give me back my 1 copper.”
Why are you getting paid when all the cooking is done?
“There is soup and bread. I got 1 copper, so I’ll give you the bread in a big one. Leave it in your room and eat it over and over again.”
“I don’t have dishes in my room.”
“Then you should buy it.”
“No, something happens every 10 seconds.”
It’s like living in a fucking rented house. There are so many places to go for money. What kind of empty dock are you pouring water into? If I didn’t have money saved up, I would have been really fucked up.
“But it’s especially quiet today.”
I sat at a table and looked around the first floor. I was the only person.
“What? Is there finally an inn run by a kind beauty with better service than this damn inn? I will go there too.”
“Clean your mouth before you finish off the moldy bread.”
Said Dorca, who brought the soup. The soup on the table was steaming.
This inn sells meat soup boiled in the morning and made into a stew at night. It was truly a different world version of Gomtang House.
“Anyway, why are there no guests? Usually, that’s the case, but at least a few older men wereted their lives drinking during the day.”
“All of those customers are adventurers, but now they are out for work. Didn’t you hear the news because you’re an adventurer?”
“What news?”
I wondered if it would explode anywhere, but the fact that actually came out of Dorca’s mouth was close to that.
“It seems that dungeons and ruins have been discovered since last night. One for each adventurer’s guild, three in total.”
