Chapter 34 – Chapter 8. Samura Gorge.
The night in the rural town was very quiet. A stinging bug chirped in an unknown place. Occasionally, the sound of dogs barking came from far away on the wind.
Lying on the bed, Yael couldn’t sleep at all. Even though the bed was much more comfortable than when I was homeless, my mind was more muddy.
She was lying with her back to Jihyeok. However, she felt something strange when she felt a person’s warmth on her back.
Of course, Jihyeok was also awake. She didn’t like her because she couldn’t sleep, but she had a reason not to fall asleep. Of course he knew that the drug addict wasn’t sleeping.
“… Why don’t you sleep?”
“… Oh that… , Strangely, I can’t sleep.”
Yayel said how did she know he wasn’t sleeping.
“I understand your feelings. Each one will be unfamiliar and difficult. … Originally everything is like that for the first time. Then, little by little, we adapt and change.”
The wizard was moved by Jihyeok’s heavy voice.
“After experiencing it myself, the companions are better than I thought, right?”
“… Yes.”
“There are many bad guys among mercenaries, but not all of them are bad guys. And if he was a bad guy in the first place, I wouldn’t even try to take him. I went to look for them one by one and checked them meticulously.”
Yayel didn’t think of his teammates as ugly anymore. They were all good people.
Gide, who is shy but compassionate, Gorsch, who always leads by example and is sincere, and Kayak, who is reticent and does his job.
She thought the only thing she had a rather big drawback was herself. She is a drug addict who trembles with anxiety when she has no medicine.
Thinking so, she also wanted to take medicine. But endured There was no way to get more now, so I had to save as much as possible.
“How many days have you been patient?”
“Four days.”
“Is it five days tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
“Then just eat a little bit now. I’m leaving again tomorrow Eating at camp is kind of like that.”
Ah.
But Yayel hesitated a little. I wanted to eat, but eating in front of others was a bit like that. Because she doesn’t know how to act.
“I’ll be leaving soon anyway. I have work to do.”
“… Is it so?”
Jihyeok woke up. And she lit a candle. From the bed, Yael slowly raised her upper body. The eyes that wanted the medicine were sad.
“Sleep right away when the effect goes off.”
He quietly left the room. I heard footsteps receding. Yayel made sure her voice was completely gone and hurried off the bed like a mad bitch and rummaged through her gym bag.
Then he pulled out one of her leather pouches. Inside was a powdered medicine wrapped in paper. It was the same medicine that Jihyeok had given him before.
Ah, ah.
She held out her little finger and dabbed it very lightly, wiping it over her red tongue. I even sucked on her little finger because I didn’t want even a single grain of powder. And she quickly packed up again.
When that was over, she lay down on the bed.
Coming, coming, wow, coming…
All senses were sharpened. The drug awakened all her senses that had been dormant. All nerves were sharpened. Her head was spinning like crazy. Her body tingled. She just couldn’t stay still.
Ah, ah-
Yayel wriggled like a bug on the bed. She felt the mana pulsating through her body. She felt like she could do anything.
She spread the gushing mana around her. I could see the faces of others as clearly as I could see them. Then she began to gradually draw mana into her body. To the limit of what can be done.
While drunk, she played with mana like that. That was the habit of her theory department assistant. If I had paper and a quill, I would have scribbled on this flow of mana right now.
While wriggling on the bed, she suddenly remembered the captain. When I remembered his handsome face, my body heated up. Her body, which had become as sensitive as it was already, was burning hot.
Captain… , The captain… !
Yayel buried her face in the captain’s pillow, where she had just been lying. She then rubbed her crotch with her hand as she swallowed his body odor.
She knew, of course, that she shouldn’t be like this. But she couldn’t stop. The sexual desire that began to soar exploded like a dam bursting from a collapsed embankment.
“Ha, ha, hae.”
The drug lord forced herself out of bed even in her stupor. She thought that if she smeared her juice on the bed sheet, she would be sure the captain would notice.
The fingers that had been biting began to prick the inside of the warm inner flesh.
I had to finish it quickly. If you want to do all the cleanup before the captain comes.
“Haugh, ang, it’s the captain, it’s the captain… !”
Yayel drooled over her drool and ran her fingers through her own pussy. Then she climaxed and she convulsed her as she obscenely slurped her juices on her floor.
Only then did she come back to her senses. She forced her still sensitive body up and headed for the basin of water. She then wiped from her own crotch with a cloth dipped in her water. And after she wiped the floor clean to the point where the liquid spilled, she opened her door to ventilate it. No one should know about this secret act. … Especially the captain.
Tidying up her room, she emptied her basin once and lay down on the bed as if nothing had happened. Of course, her body was still hot.
Her drug aura quickly subsided. In the first place, the amount consumed was not so large that it did not last long.
At the same time, I started feeling dizzy. And her body ached as if pricked with a needle. It was the aftereffect of accepting and using an excessive amount of mana beyond what she could handle. Still, being young was medicine.
A natural researcher of hers, she wanted to leave all of this as material for her research. She even used her precious body as material for her research.
The potion wizard wanted to try this medicine once in a while.
So what’s the reaction like? Would I be more ecstatic? What about the aftereffects? How much mana can you use? If there is a lot of mana, how will it flow from the body? What about the reaction again?
As I lay there thinking about this and that, I heard the sound of the captain coming. Ah. Yayel’s heart thumped. She pretended nothing had happened.
The door opened abruptly. She was so nervous that her breath stopped. Jihyeok carefully closed the door and walked towards her bed.
Yayel pretended not to notice and closed her eyes. Jihyeok sneaked into her bed. Her heart throbbed like crazy.
Soon the candle went out. Jihyeok lay down without saying anything. And soon, I heard the sound of even breathing.
Yayel huh——she let out a long sigh. Her tension was blown away, and her terrible exhaustion set in.
She fell asleep as if fainting.
The group woke up early in the morning, had breakfast, and left the accommodation. The owner’s granddaughter also brought a few loaves of sesame bread to eat on the way. She was a generous girl.
They got into the carriage just as it was breaking. Yayel continued to doze off like a sick chick in the carriage. She still suffers from the side effects of the drug. If she had eaten a little more there she would have been sick.
“Is that it? What’s important is…”
The quick-witted Lizardman Kayak asked when he saw objects wrapped in cloth hanging from Ji-hyeok’s luggage bag.
“Uh.”
“Is it a sword?”
“That’s right.”
It was a glance that roughly guessed where it came from. But everyone kept quiet about it.
“Then are you going straight to Parsia like this?”
Gide asked.
“I have to go. Because we have to cross the canyon.”
Let’s see. Gide scratched his chin with his thick fingers.
“It will take about ten days to go. I think it took that much from what I remember.”
“Well, it will be similar.”
During that time, I will have to be homeless at least three or four times. Still, since everyone went through so much, there was no objection to homelessness.
“Parsia… Don’t you have some free time?”
Gide looked like he was secretly wanting something. Jihyeok thought deeply and nodded his head.
“Okay, I’ll give you a day or so.”
“Good!”
Bald and big, I jumped up and down. Since Parsia is a key point to cross the mountain range, the floating population was enormous. So, naturally, business targeting them flourished. Among them, prostitution, of course, could not be left out.
Jihyeok did not overlook the sexual desire problem of his teammates. Sometimes it’s the little things that turn into big problems later on. So, it was better to solve problems in advance. Because he wouldn’t change anything if he moved a day faster.
The wagon rolled well over the grassy field road.
· · ·
As expected by Gide, the group arrived in the large city of Parsia in exactly ten days. Of course, it was not as huge as the capital, but there was no bigger city in the vicinity. The population was 300,000, and the floating population was also enormous.
In particular, there were a lot of upper ends that crossed the canyon. The price of most things jumps up once you cross the canyon. So all the merchants liked this canyon.
Jihyeok was sure there would be other hero candidates who had already passed through this place. It was an important transportation hub.
Wow-.
Yayel was surprised to see the city for the first time. A wide river flows next to the city, and behind it, a steep cliff stands straight as a background, so you can’t help but be mesmerized by the beautiful sight.
Because the scenery is nice and the city is big, there were not a few nobles who abandoned their estates and settled down here. After all, Yeongji just had to hire an agent and collect the taxes. How many such people are there in the capital of the empire.
The group of Jihyeok entered the city after checking their ID. It was a city developed to the point where it would be embarrassing to dare to compare it with the small town of Gudrak. Yayel wondered how the two cities could be so different with just 10 days apart. If it was a geography-related department, I thought I could easily complete a thesis with this.
As soon as they entered the city, they first looked for an inn. The inn building, which stood upright, was quite antique in its atmosphere. At the counter inside the building was an old landlady with necklaces and rings around her neck and fingers.
“Welcome. Five minutes?”
“We’ll have dinner right now, and we have two rooms.”
“We are an advance payment.”
Jihyeok paid a pretty high price and sat down at a table in the hall. Gide wrapped his tongue around the high water.
“Captain, isn’t this place too expensive?”
“I should rest in a good place since I came. Anyway, even if you go somewhere cheaper than here, it won’t make that much of a difference.”
Of course, it’s good to save money, but I didn’t want to enter a low-level inn just because I could save a few silver coins. Then there was a high possibility that ordinary food would also be cheap.
“Well, then it’s good for us…”
Gide seemed to be worried about the captain’s pockets. Jihyeok waved his hand, telling him not to worry.
After he stopped talking, Jihyeok glanced around the hall. He felt that there were a bit too many people here.
It’s only natural that the inn has people, but this place was quite expensive. If you look around, you can see that they are top-tier people, but it was definitely rare for those terrible misers to lead a large group and use such a high-end place.
Jihyeok secretly called the waitress who was setting the dishes and asked.
“Are there really that many people here?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
A fine-looking waitress confided in the city’s circumstances.
“There are vicious rumors in the fortress canyon. So people are stranded, but I guess there is no place to stay.”
“Rumor? What rumors?”
“The monsters seem to be running wild. It seems that one or two of the upper ranks suffered from them.”
“Originally, there were many monsters in the canyon.”
“It’s not breeding season yet, but it’s rare to see them run amok like this. It happens sometimes, but I’ve never seen it last this long.”
Jihyeok’s eyebrows narrowed. While crossing the gorge, I was planning to get some compensation while crossing with the upper ranks, but I didn’t know that this would happen.
… What the hell is going on?
Even though Jihyeok was the 15th return, he did not know everything about the continent. How wide is the continent? He even has vague memories of what he’s experienced, so how can he know something he’s never experienced–!
As the waitress withdrew, his party looked at the captain’s face. What do you do now
“… Leader?”
The taciturn Kayak quietly called the troubled captain. Jihyeok, who had been deep in thought with his eyes closed for a moment, raised his head and glanced at the party.
“I can’t be stuck here. I’m sure there will be some in a hurry, so I’ll have to find the guild I want to cross over to and join them.”
“Are you okay?”
All of the mercenaries who survived for a long time tended to avoid things that made them anxious. I learned that as long as I do not do what I am told not to do, I will naturally survive for a long time.
Maybe that’s why Gide looked a bit uneasy. If it’s his original personality, he’ll be waiting here until the canyon is a bit calmer.
“You have to go. If you can’t go because you’re scared by that monster, then you should stop thinking about succeeding in the mission. That would be much more difficult than this.”
It was a 100-point mission. Even if ten monsters like this came out, he had to have the skills to defeat them.
“Yeah, shit, I’ll do anything.”
Unlike Gide, the Orcs and Lizardmen didn’t look very frightened. In the first place, the two were warlike races. It’s because of his personality, but the ferocious instinct that runs through his veins must still remain and squirm.
The new drug addict wizard seemed a bit uneasy, but he wasn’t so careless as to pour cold water on the heated atmosphere.
Food came out soon. They squeezed food into their snouts until they were full.
… Jihyeok finished his meal and made up his mind to look for the guild.
