Chapter 39 – Chapter 9. Back Alley.
Four days later
The group of the upper ranks encountered the monster a few times after the engagement with the demon, but fortunately they got out of the canyon without much trouble. They rejoiced as if they had escaped from a terrible hell.
“Sir, my cock is shaking because I’m so happy to see you.”
Gide lay down on a field of green grass and even kissed the ground. Of course, there is still a little more to go.
After leaving the gorge and walking for another full day, they finally arrived at the large city of Palahino. Here too, like the big city of Parsia, numerous upper ranks were stranded and stranded.
“It was really hard.”
The middle-aged Sang Sangju met the three mercenary commanders in person, thanked them, and paid the rest of the employment fee in full. Now it was time to go our separate ways. Jihyeok, Orc Captain, and Sooin Captain held hands and waved up and down a few times before parting ways.
Jihyeok went into a luxurious inn with his colleagues waiting for him. After hearing the rumor that the sylphs had safely crossed the gorge, the members of the guild staying at the inn had fled. Thanks to that, the situation of not being able to enter the room was avoided.
They filled their hungry stomachs first. Everyone shoved them into their snouts without even thinking about saving face or anything like that. Yayel, too, had long since shed her shy virginity.
After the meal, Jihyeok stood in the hallway and said to his companions.
“Everyone get some rest until tomorrow. Have some free time Of course, when you go out, be sure to report it to me.”
“Yes, chief.”
This time, Jihyeok and Yayel shared a room. Her body warmed up at the thought of being alone with the captain.
She remembered the incident then. She struggled with ecstatic pleasure to the point of dying, how could she forget that?
She screamed as she climaxed countless times at her captain’s fingers as she picked her own vagina. … I know it was because of unavoidable circumstances, but I couldn’t help but feel ashamed.
Anyway, after that incident, she strangely cared about his every word. Of course, she tried very hard to pretend that nothing had happened. Likewise, the captain seemed to intentionally avoid talking about it.
Yayel thought that she was fortunate, but on the other hand, she was not without feelings of regret. She clearly had antinomian sentiments. She wondered if she had no attraction to the opposite sex at all. And I became very curious about the female figure that her captain likes.
“How are you feeling?”
“I feel much better.”
After that incident, she was bedridden for two days. Of course, even now, the energy wasn’t so lively. More care was needed.
“Okay, get some rest. ‘Cause I was a little overzealous back then. Physical strength is important for magicians.”
“… Yes.”
The two piled the laundry in a basket and went inside the blanket. Her heart was beating strangely. That scene never left my mind.
If only I could feel that pleasure again.
Of course, I knew that I shouldn’t have such lewd fantasies with the captain. However, the instinct, which had already tasted great pleasure, lightly suppressed reason.
No other pleasure I had ever experienced could compare to it. It was a level that could easily ignore human willpower.
Yayel was thirsty. His body wriggled on its own. My groin felt hot. … She later realized that she had a very big problem.
… Could it be that I have to resist this urge every day?
It was crazy. Her heart ached.
It shouldn’t be like this. Really messed up Do you want to end your life? Are you really just going?
“Yayel.”
Jihyeok suddenly called Yayel. She was startled as if her inner self had been discovered.
“Yes?!”
“About, how much is left?”
Talking about medicine reminded me of that incident again. My body became uncontrollably hot. She was really crazy and seemed like she was about to jump.
But Yayel feigned her composure. She was a promising assistant who would become a professor in the Department of Theory. It was difficult for such a person to be sexually promiscuous. She should be an example to her academy students.
At least I didn’t want the captain to find out about this lascivious appearance. The thought of revealing her inner thoughts made her dizzy.
“The medicine… , I have about one serving left.”
In fact, it was only about half of that amount. Just to taste the real thing. However, it was roughly 1 episode.
“Okay? So, do you need more?”
“It’s not that urgent.”
“Even if you’re not in a hurry, you have to get it here in advance. Guess you can’t find it anywhere else. It’s easy here. A bit cheaper.”
“Ah… , Is that so…”
I couldn’t bear to say that I didn’t need medicine. I don’t know anything else, but just imagining that there was no medicine was terrifying.
In fact, the reason she left some pills was that she was just taking comfort in the fact that she had them. It was a kind of emergency fund concept. Because if I don’t have one, I can’t stand it because I’m anxious.
“By the way, will the money be okay? It would be too expensive…”
Of course she knew that drugs were expensive. In order to save even a single penny, she shared a room like this, but she wondered if it would be okay to spend her money on medicine.
“What if it’s expensive? I need it.”
Yayel had nothing to say. Because that’s exactly what you need. So she couldn’t say anything about saving money.
She had no choice but to admit that now she had become a mean and lowly drug addict herself. Now, obscenity has been added to it. … As time passed, she felt like she was breaking down one by one.
If it felt like I was stepping on the border of the summit before, now I’m definitely far away from the summit. She was no longer normal. Not good, of course.
Me too… , Then I must have something in return.
If I had been able to do my job well as a mage, I wouldn’t have thought of this. But she still had a lot of flaws. She says yes, she fights every time and she can’t take her pills every time. … It was a situation I couldn’t keep an eye on.
Her words that she would try harder could not completely relieve this discomfort. Still, she grew up well in a family where she lacked nothing, graduated with good grades at a magic academy, and even became her assistant, a woman with the common sense that if you receive something, you must repay it.
She pretended not to know, but she knew that her men were going to her brothel to quench her lust. That must have been the reason why Gide was late last time.
… Wouldn’t the captain have gone at least once?
In the end, Yayel thought about offering his body to save even that money. Ah-. She was startled at herself for having such an obscene thought. It was something she never would have imagined before.
Are you crazy, really!
It really was a prostitute’s idea. Still, she believed, she still had reason to tell her apart. … I wanted to believe that.
“Sleep well. And don’t be too pressured.”
“Yes… Captain, have a good night’s sleep.”
“Yes, you too.”
Yayel heard Jihyeok snort at her for a long time. That was his habit before she went to bed.
Soon, the sound of even breathing was heard. The captain fell asleep.
However, she had a lot of worries and could not sleep for a long time until late at night.
· · ·
It was hard to see if the fatigued team members were still squirming on the bed. So Jihyeok ate a late breakfast alone and left the dorm.
The weather was sunny. On the main road, it wasn’t too much of an uproar when the merchants who had been stuck here for a long time left. There were also many mercenaries and guilds following the top.
The city’s roads seemed to be as empty as Gide’s bald head as suddenly large numbers of people slipped away. Thanks to this, Jihyeok was able to walk leisurely on the wide road without being disturbed.
He followed his memory and fell into a lonely alleyway in the middle of the street. Originally, there was a separate lawless zone called the back alley world in the city. He couldn’t get banned substances like aitrophthalate anywhere else.
Fortunately, the drug was often used by players in the underground arena, so it wasn’t too difficult to find if you knew the drug store. Of course, that’s something only those in the know know, so a finely grown Yayel would have to pay a lot more to his retailer. That’s why it was often called rich medicine because it was a good medicine to extract money from naive rich people.
In any case, it was not difficult to find the back alleys of Palahino, a large city, because they were related to Ji-hyeok. In the past, in the 11th car, when he was doing bad things, he had a fight with Palahino’s alley manager.
What the… , As I live, there comes a time when those things become memories.
It was a pretty intense power struggle. Of course, Ji-hyeok won and got everything the Palahino alley manager had. At that time, he was surprised to see the gold and silver treasures piled up in the treasure chest of the alley leader. It was the moment when I realized that the saying that treasure was piled up like a mountain was not really bullshit.
Jihyeok went deep into the alley like that while thinking about his old days. As he was almost gone, he began to feel the eyes watching him. It seemed to be the area of influence of the alley leader. However, no members of the organization have approached yet.
As he approached the entrance of the drug store, the gangsters moved stealthily. They were two orcs who looked menacing at first glance.
“Hey, kid go.”
He threatened like that with his arms crossed, but I really wasn’t scared at all.
“I have a business.”
“I told you to turn it off.”
“I’m here to buy some medicine, medicine.”
Meanwhile, Ji-hyeok took out a leather pouch from his bosom and showed the gold coins inside. The orc just then shut his mouth and got out of the way.
“It will be soon.”
Jihyeok pushed the wooden door and went inside. There were other organizers there. But this time, it didn’t block the road like the first time. Instead, I looked him up and down with bloody eyes.
He rode the passage down to the basement. The bright sunlight disappeared, followed by a long, frightening darkness. It smelled disgusting.
When he finished going down the narrow passage, he came to a huge underground space. This was a drugstore. Of course, they didn’t just sell drugs. Along with alcohol, they also sold male prostitutes and prostitutes. You’re selling expensive water again to bastards who forgot their medicine right there.
Already, dirty moans were heard here and there without a break. The obnoxious smell was intoxicating. Ventilation was not good, so it seemed to be soaked.
Large orcs were placed throughout the store. The drug dealer here especially liked the orc. It was the logic that once they got allegiance, they were more honest than other races.
A guide soon arrived. She was a pretty woman Her eyes looked a bit tempered. But she was surprisingly polite.
“What business did you come for?”
“To buy some medicine.”
“Come this way.”
Jihyeok followed her, watching her twitch.
What room did he enter? There was a young man who looked just like a merchant, and an orc who looked like an escort. The young man seemed to be an employee in charge of sales.
“Nice to meet you, sir.”
The young man gave a nice smile and invited Jihyeok to sit down. He sat across from him. The two faced each other across a table.
The room had a large candlestick hanging from each wall, so it wasn’t too dark.
“How much do you want… ?”
“One bag.”
One bag was usually 5 servings. Of course, Yayel seemed to be eating less, so she wondered if it was maybe 10 servings for her.
However, this is a wholesale store, so the price is a bit cheaper than retail. Instead, it was treated as a bag unit. The price is around three to forty gold coins per bag. Of course, you have to listen to know.
“Gap a hundred gold coins.”
Hearing the price more than double the expected amount, Ji-hyeok thought his ears were wrong.
“… What? A hundred?”
“Yes.”
I was honestly dumbfounded. No matter how hard I tried to eat it, this went too far. Wasn’t the drug dealer’s motto to be honest, even if it was bad?
“I thought it would be about forty gold coins, did you?”
“Oh, it used to be.”
“… Before?”
The staff calmly explained.
“You know how the city has been these days, right? There are a lot of top customers looking for this medicine. That’s why the price skyrocketed.”
Ah.
I hadn’t thought of that. As the gorge was blocked and the guild stayed here for a long time, it seemed that the demand for medicines increased as well.
Although the upper ranks are slipping away, the skyrocketing price will not come down any time soon.
A hundred gold coins were expensive, but too expensive. I couldn’t afford to pay that much for just one bag of pills.
What do we do.
However, if you can’t get it here now, the way to get it later is barren. Ji-hyeok regretted that he had brought the drug-loving wizard for no reason. I don’t know if the expected efficiency comes out as much as I invest in medicine, but honestly, I’ve only been losing money so far.
But what can I do? I already brought you here. … Then he had no choice but to grow as much as he wanted to invest money. Still, the future of the drug dealer is bright, so it won’t be a waste of money.
Anyway, whatever the situation, it was impossible to buy the medicine right now. Eventually, Jihyeok stood up from his seat.
“I can’t buy it because it’s too expensive… I will use it next time.”
“All right. … Oh, ten gold coins must be paid separately. It is an introduction fee.”
The name of the ripping off was also very different. However, Jihyeok paid the price generously. If we didn’t give it to each other for no reason and things went wrong, it could be stamped on by the organization.
In the end, he broke only ten gold coins and came up to the ground with nothing in his hands. As he exited the building, the wooden door slammed behind him.
Jihyeok walked down the dark alley again. He had many thoughts as he walked.
How to get money…
I needed medicine. Soon as well.
… Of course, there was no way.
