Chapter 104 – Ep.104 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
“Honey chestnuts… ?”
The shoulders of the woman behind the woman in the suit shook subtly.
I didn’t miss it.
That woman. It’s definitely the woman I know.
“By any chance, do you have the Vincen top note and the front… Ji?”
I nodded to the question of the woman in the suit.
“Yes. “Not only do we know each other, but we are on the same page as each other.”
“Okay…”
The woman in the suit briefly let out her sigh.
Judging by the reaction of the honey night girl behind me, it seems she thought we weren’t on good terms.
But actually, it’s not a good or bad relationship, so there’s no need to sigh.
At that time, Siron, who was next to me, gently poked my side and asked.
“Do you know this bitch?”
“Shiron. “You came here after receiving a request from that person and were captured by a cultist.”
“…”
As soon as I finished speaking, Siron’s neck spun around like a rusty machine and turned towards the honey chestnut girl.
Hiccup-!!
The honey chestnut girl’s body shook slightly.
It seems that a fairly strong impression of poetry has been left behind.
Well, with one punch, her face was stamped on the floor like a decalcomania, which is bound to remain in her memory.
Even I would be shocked if someone like that appeared before my eyes again.
“It’s a face that makes no sense to me.”
Originally, I heard that perpetrators don’t remember well, but sometimes when I look at the theory, I think that that statement isn’t entirely wrong.
When Siron glared at the Honeybomb woman with her frown, everyone naturally fell silent.
Even if someone tried to open their mouth first to lighten the mood, the woman in the suit couldn’t easily open her mouth since she was a customer, the same goes for the soldiers who came with her, and Mr. Giena said very little unless it was related to me.
In other words, I am the only person here who can save Honey Night Girl.
It was time for her to stop her speech because she felt sorry for the honey chestnut girl whose color was slowly fading to white.
“Ah!!”
Siron shouted, pointing a point at the honey chestnut girl.
“You fucking bastard took my money!!”
“Hey!”
The honey chestnut girl sat down on the spot.
Siron screamed as if he was going to run towards Honey Night Girl, but surprisingly he calmly stood next to me.
But you’re stealing money?
Everyone’s eyes naturally turned to Honey Night Girl once again.
The woman in the suit, who had unintentionally been hiding her honey chestnut behind her back, quietly moved to the side and asked.
“Vinsen Sangdangju. Instead of just sitting there like that, I think you should explain the situation first. If the merchant really stole the money, this is an issue that cannot be ignored. No, it would be better to move the location first. “I would appreciate it if you could help me for a moment.”
When the woman in a suit asked for understanding from her soldiers, one of the soldiers together with the woman in a suit grabbed the woman’s arm and helped her stand up.
“We apologize for showing our guests a very funny situation. “I will first guide you to the living room.”
It’s a bit hard to say this, but it was literally a bit funny.
The woman in the suit walked with her soldier, her honey chestnut maid in her midst, almost as if dragging her luggage.
We followed the woman in the suit as she walked.
I passed through a modestly decorated hallway and took the stairs leading upward.
I asked Siron quietly walking next to me.
“Shiron. But what do you mean by stealing money?”
“No, that bitch risked her life to protect me, but she just took my belongings and left without even paying the settlement fee. “I get so mad when I think about it.”
“I see.”
I once again thought that Siron, who forgot the face of the person he took money from, was more amazing than the honey chestnut girl who took money.
I don’t know what criteria Siron uses to remember people’s faces.
Well, all I had to do was remember and not forget.
“This way.”
We opened the door on the third floor and went inside.
As expected, it was a room that was not overly flashy, but had an old-fashioned feel.
The woman in a suit made Honey Night Girl sit down first, and the soldier naturally returned to the back of us.
“Please sit comfortably.”
We sat across from Honey Night Girl.
“It’s right to treat someone with something, but… First.”
The woman in a suit looked back at the honey chestnut woman.
Fortunately, the color returned to the honey chestnut girl’s face, as if she had calmed down a bit while being dragged away.
“Vinsen Sangdangju. “Did you really steal your money?”
“Well, there were circumstances for that at the time… Yo. This.”
As she was about to shout at the woman in a suit, the honey chestnut woman glanced back at Siron and hurriedly politely answered her words.
“I want to hear what the situation is, so please get her to open her mouth quickly.”
“Well, I mean… After being liberated from the cultists, they were taken to the temple. “Only after a week of verification of her brainwashing was she able to be released.”
Honey Night Lady informed her that as soon as she was released from the temple, she inquired with the temple to retrieve her belongings that had been taken away by the cultists, and that the temple had sent all of them, except for the items suspected to belong to some cultists, to Molingta’s guards.
“So I went to the security station to get my luggage, but… There’s some commotion on the street…”
The honey chestnut woman pursed her lips as she watched her husband’s thoughts.
For your information, the commotion in the street that came out of her honey chestnut woman’s mouth probably refers to Siron and Cernax’s disturbance in the northern streets.
“Because of the commotion on the street, the process of picking up my luggage was delayed, and after pushing back and forth, I was able to get my luggage after two days. But there was something I heard during those two days… ?”
The fact that the main culprits causing the commotion in the streets were adventurer Siron and guard captain Kernax, and that they are currently locked in a dungeon.
“Sure, based on common sense, who would think that criminals who destroyed a quarter of the city’s streets would be released with all four limbs intact? Even if you look at it kindly, you will still be a slave for the rest of your life…”
“So, ah, it’s good. “And you just shut her mouth and walked away?”
“S-sorry…”
In response to Siron’s sharp question, the honey chestnut girl’s head was lowered to the point where I was worried that it might be broken.
But if I thought about it carefully, I could understand her honeybam girl’s actions.
As Honey Night Girl said, can you imagine using common sense to freely release those who destroyed a quarter of the city?
But I did it.
Now that I think about it, I think I’m a pretty amazing guy.
Siron, this bad guy. I can’t believe you don’t even call me, such a great person, oppa.
“Ha… Vincennes Sangsanju.”
The woman in the suit, who was standing quietly listening to the honey chestnut woman, sighed and continued her words.
“I understand that you are anxious due to the delay in your flight. In that case, you would have known better than me that it was right to at least find out the news from Molangta after arriving in Bazelan and then take appropriate action.”
“That…”
“Don’t make excuses. The golden reed top also belongs to our merchant association. The mistake of the Vincennes merchant class is that it naturally reduces the reputation of our merchant association. “I don’t know why, but if the receptionist in charge had reported this, it could have turned into a big incident that could have betrayed the trust of adventurers, even our merchant association, which owns the Vincennes Merchant Marine.”
I was briefly shocked by the words of the woman in the suit.
Not because of anything else, but because Sister Amela told me to quit in the middle, I quit, but it was because I was the receptionist who was in charge of requests from Siron and that Honey Night Girl.
I decided to just keep my mouth shut.
“If something like that had happened, we would have immediately taken steps to expel the Golden Reeds from the merchant association.”
The woman in the suit looked at us and she very politely bent her back at a right angle and bowed to us.
“The merchant association also knew that Vincen, the owner of the merchant, had gone through hardships. However, she will admit that the Merchants’ Association is also at fault for only listening to the merchant’s words and not separately investigating what happened behind the scenes.”
The woman in the suit raised her head.
“We will make sure that compensation is paid after properly calculating this matter. Vincennes Sangsanju.”
“Well, of course. I’m really sorry…”
Honey night girl. Only then did Marcolin Vincen stand up and bow his head in apology to us.
Siron, who was looking very angry, also softened his expression a little when he saw the two of them.
I looked at the two people in front of me and was amazed.
Even if you originally intended to get angry, if the other person criticizes you excessively, the person you were trying to get angry at will feel embarrassed.
The woman in that suit must have known that and deliberately scolded Honey Night Girl right in front of us.
“We will process it as quickly as possible and send the compensation to the castle. Or would it be better to send it straight to the Adventurer’s Guild branch in Molingta? “We will handle it the way you want.”
“Then send it straight to Mallingta.”
“Yes. “We will handle it that way.”
The woman in the suit nodded instead of the honey chestnut woman, and the case of Siron stealing her money was resolved smoothly.
“Now then, can I hear the purpose of your visit to the Merchants’ Association?”
“I heard that they decided to broadcast the territory battle that will be held in a few days from here? “I came here to check its performance.”
“This is a confirmation of the performance of the projection crystal ball. Of course it’s possible. It won’t take much time to get ready, so you can come with me. If you want to wait here, I will come back prepared.”
“Well, I won’t be staying for long, so let’s go and check it out quickly.”
“Okay. OK.”
I nodded at Siron’s words.
I’m thinking of asking if they sell medicine that’s good for stamina, or if they can get it for me, but that’s something I can just ask before leaving.
“Then I will guide you.”
The woman in the suit turned around and we also stood up.
I thought as I watched the honey chestnut girl quietly walking next to the woman in the suit.
But, if you’re just going to leave it standing like a folding screen, why did you bring it here?
Maybe I was originally going to take Honey Night Girl and leave, but it turned out that our relationship wasn’t that good, so I had no choice but to stay and pretend to be a guide.
“As you can see, the image is projected at a level similar to seeing it with your own eyes.”
“And…”
I was amazed when I saw my reflection on the white wall.
It’s no joke, it was so clear that it was almost like seeing it with your own eyes.
Can you say it is literally a movie projector from the Middle Ages?
With this, I felt like I could check out everything I wanted here without having to go and see it in person.
“How do you feel?”
“Very good. “How much of this is done?”
“A crystal ball with similar performance to this one costs about 120 gold coins.”
“Hey.”
A crystal ball smaller than my fist is worth 120 gold coins.
To put it bluntly, those three beads were enough to buy an entire street in Mallingta.
“Then, on the day of the Yeongjijeon, we will prepare a separate space so that you can enjoy the sights comfortably.”
“Thank you.”
The woman in the suit laughed softly.
“Then…”
Grrrr!! Grrrr!!
Our eyes, including the woman in the suit, turned to the door.
The sound of someone scratching the door was heard from outside the tightly closed door.
The eyes of the woman in the suit were slightly bent.
“Excuse me for a moment…”
At that time, a woman in a suit quickly walked to the door and was about to open it and leave.
Slurp.
A black cat came in with its head sticking out through the slightly open door.
There was a small letter in his mouth.
The woman in the suit sighed as she was about to go out. She looked at us and took the letter from her cat’s mouth with her hand, as if snatching it from her cat’s mouth.
While the woman in the suit opened her envelope and checked out what was inside, her shiny black-furred fellow sat demurely in front of him, cupping her face with her paws with plump pink meatballs.
Honestly, it was really cute.
“Ha…”
The woman in the suit sighed after reading her letter.
“Sorry. “I’ll get rid of this guy right away.”
“Yes? No. “It’s okay.”
A woman who was trying to clean up a cat sitting on her floor stopped at my words and slowly straightened her posture.
At the same time, the guy who was looking at the woman in the suit also looked at me with blue and green odd eyes and blinked her eyes.
Come to think of it, it’s been over 4 years since I came here and I’ve never seen a dog or cat.
If you look at the guys in front of you right now, they definitely exist, but unlike on Earth, they seem to be more precious than you think.
I asked, looking at the cat who was looking at me calmly with bright eyes.
“Can I possibly touch it?”
“… “Are you okay?”
The woman in the suit looked at me and at Siron and Giena who were next to me.
“Well, you say you want to touch it, so what can I do?”
“Mr. Smith is a special person.”
“… However… “It looks sour.”
The woman in the suit looked at me with a very embarrassed expression and nodded her head.
At the same time, the girl who had been sitting quietly stood up and approached me with her tail wagging.
I slightly bent my knees and extended my hand to the guy who was approaching me.
―Grunt, purr…
I just stretched out her hand, and she made a cat-like growl and started rubbing her head against my palm.
Actually, I prefer dogs over cats, but seeing this again makes me feel a little more inclined.
I gently stroked his head and back with both hands and then reached towards his buttocks.
I heard that cats can’t come to their senses when they’re so dizzy.
Let me try it too.
I hit his ass with my palm! The moment I knocked.
―Hiyauu~!!!
A very strange female nasal sound came through the crack in the door that the woman in the suit had forgotten to close.
And very loudly.
Many, many, many, many!! A woman in a suit hurried in front of me, making a loud noise with her shoes. She quickly stretched out her hand and snatched up the back of her cat.
The thing in the woman’s hand was like a cat on catnip, with her eyes wide open and her tongue hanging all the way down.
When I saw the ship moving, it felt like it was alive.
The woman in the suit said, slowly backing away from her.
“In fact, strange phenomena sometimes appear in this building. The sound you made just now is also a type of sound. Vincennes Sangdangju. I have some urgent work to attend to, so I ask for your patience until the very end. “Then, please excuse me first.”
The woman in the suit turned around and ran out of her room, almost running away, with her cat still on the hook. She didn’t even forget to close the door.
A slightly awkward silence fell on the room.
That’s because no one here, including me, realized that the words of the woman in the suit who had just run away were lies.
It’s just that she’s in someone else’s house, so she just pretends that everyone doesn’t know and keeps her mouth shut.
It was right then.
“What a strange phenomenon… !! I-I didn’t hear that… !!”
The honey chestnut girl, left alone, shook her legs with her slightly pale face.
I thought while looking at that sweet night girl.
In fact, at that time, she got hit by Siron’s really painful honey balm and hit it on her head… Could it be that there is a problem?
… That’s it.
