Chapter 1097 – Ep.1095 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
“Ugh… ?!”
After about a minute of covering his nose and mouth, Kino, who had been stretched out as if dead, opened his eyes and jumped up.
“Puhaaa~!! Ha! Haaa! Huaaa~!!”
Kino, who jumped up like a spring and didn’t have time to look around, opened his small mouth wide and took in and out several breaths, repeatedly blowing fresh air into his already shriveled lungs.
“Ha, ha… ?”
Kino’s breathing, which had gradually become more difficult, began to stabilize, and Kino’s head, which had been facing down, slowly rose up.
“Hello.”
“… Wow, fuck.”
I squatted down in front of her and greeted her by snapping my fingers, and she blinked at me just as she did when she first saw me.
Although I came to my senses, I felt like I still lacked a sense of reality, so I reached out and lightly grabbed a piece of Kino’s delicious fruit.
“Uh… ?”
Kino, who was staring blankly at her face, turned to her captured breasts. He blinked his eyes for a moment and watched her own breasts being teased by her hands. Then, he raised his head again and looked at her.
“Kku, kku, dream, dream──”
“Unfortunately, it is not a dream, but reality.”
“… !!”
When I smiled and reminded him of reality, Kino’s back straightened up.
“Kino.”
“Yes, yes!!”
She twitches a little every time she gently rolls the fruit in her hand.
“The deal is over, but I don’t know the location of the sewer. However, even when I tried to ask for your location, you lost your mind, so I brought you here. “Just tell me the location, and I’ll send it back to you, so you don’t have to be too nervous.”
“It’s okay if you don’t send it… Hike?!”
Kino, who had been muttering her amazing words like nothing else, suddenly looked like a surprised rabbit and her body trembled.
“Giena.”
“I’m sorry.”
When I called her name, she glared at Kino next to Ardel, so she closed her eyes and apologized.
“It’s not something I feel sorry for.”
It’s true that I liked Kino, but it was in no way comparable to Giena.
If there had been direct harm to the body, I might have warned him a little more strongly, but I barely glared at him and had no intention of saying anything.
I guess I should say that I had no choice but to have a smooth conversation with Kino a little while ago.
“Anyway, I’ll think about it again if you prove that you’re a little more useful.”
“…”
Although she was only exposed to my gaze for a short time, Kino only nodded her head up and down like a rusty machine, as if her lips couldn’t even move.
“Rita.”
When I called my name, Rita, who was standing quietly in the corner with her eyes closed, came over and hugged me in her arms.
“Let’s go.”
**
After leaving the inn, we quietly crossed the night street following Kino’s guidance.
“This is the place.”
Even in the slums, he stopped at a corner where people didn’t come and go and said that.
‘They say there is no end to the floor.’
That’s what I thought as soon as I saw the entrance to the sewer, which was full of bad smell and gloomy energy.
The stench coming from the entrance of the sewer was so terrible that it felt like a lie that it was being cleaned regularly.
‘Once again, I feel that I have succeeded.’
If I had been working as a receptionist at the peak of my career, the stench would not have been so disgusting. But after meeting Siron, it was always good food and sleep. And because I lived in the sweet scent of lovely wives, I could clearly feel that my immunity to this side had been significantly lowered.
“Are you okay?”
“… “It’s not something I can’t stand.”
When I furrowed her brows slightly, Rita covered her nose and mouth with her wide sleeve.
“It’s about twice the size of Mallingta, but the management is a mess.”
“That’s because the city I manage regularly distributes cleanliness scrolls.”
“Was the cleanliness scroll expensive?”
“It’s not something you can just use whenever you want.”
I scratched my head at Ardel’s calm answer.
When I think about it, I have used cleanliness scrolls countless times, but I have never actually purchased a scroll myself.
In Mallingta, Bizelin always provided her with enough food to ensure she did not lack anything, and even when she left Mallingta and headed to another city, she took the extra food that Bizelin provided or used what Nyaho had personally provided.
“Rita, please put me down now.”
“Yes.”
I got out of Rita’s arms and deliberately made her breath louder.
‘It’s terrible, really…’
I didn’t show it, but the stench coming from the sewer was so bad that I felt nauseous every time I took a breath. It seems that developing one’s senses cannot only bring benefits.
“Kino.”
“Yes, sir.”
Even though he was intimidated, Kino had regained some confidence as he was the head of one of the organizations that dominated the underworld.
“Your role ends here. “If you see results, you can return because you will repay them later.”
“Lily. “It may be presumptuous, but the inside of the sewer is very complicated.”
“I guess so. However, if you want to say you want to give directions, leave it in.”
If I had entered alone, it would of course have been a welcome story, but unlike me, the people entering with me were not women who could get lost.
And if the situation arises, just destroy everything and leave.
“… “Who is that merchant?”
Kino seemed to want to be more involved with me in some way, and at the very least, she tried to hook up with her merchant, Denia.
“Should I even tell you that?”
“… !!”
I told him privately that I liked him, but he seemed to have forgotten his situation for a moment.
“S-sorry! I hope you get the results you desire!!”
However, Kino was so quick to notice that as soon as he realized that my attitude had changed, he bowed down so deeply that his head touched the floor, apologized, and ran away into the darkness.
“Let’s move.”
Ardel took the lead with me at the center, with Giena and Rita on either side.
“If something happens, just take care of Dania and yourselves. If it’s too much, run away.”
“I understand.”
Melenoa answered as the representative and followed her, keeping a little distance from us.
“If the smell was this bad, the smell of blood would have disappeared long ago, right?”
“I don’t know if it’s a demon or a monster, but if it’s the blood of an ordinary human, yes.”
“And unless you are a beast with a specialized sense of smell like Amela, it would be difficult for me to find a specific smell in a space where so many different smells are mixed together.”
“I see.”
I know this, but it is inevitable for any human being to want things to work out easily.
“Still, I put a magic light on it.”
Unlike the dark entrance, when I went a little further inside, there were magic lights hanging at regular intervals that were strong enough for me to see ahead and walk, although they were not strong.
“Let’s disperse from here.”
When a road divided in four directions appeared, Ardel, who was in the lead, stopped and said that.
“Rita.”
“Don’t worry.”
There were a lot of people, but there were a lot of things to take care of, so we were divided into two teams.
Rita was with Melenoa and her group to monitor and protect them, and in order to protect Mimic, Giena had discussed in advance that she would move with me and Ardel instead of acting alone.
Wow ──
Take a moment to walk along the sound of the murky water flowing.
“You.”
“Huh?”
Since she was following me from behind, I went out and came to her side.
“I thought you would break your stubbornness this time.”
I said, glancing at the Mimic she was holding in both hands.
“To be honest, it’s very inefficient.”
“I know.”
“Then why?”
“As I said at the inn, the Nuit guys are very cunning and shady.”
“If it were Ardel and I──”
“You know that Amela was with me when I was kidnapped from Goldias Kingdom, right?”
“…”
Giena’s gaze, which had been stinging her cheek, disappeared.
“… “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
After walking a few steps, Giena apologized, and I smiled and lightly patted Giena’s butt.
“It’s because I’m worried about Ardella.”
“…”
“I’m embarrassed.”
“Not really…”
Giena denied it, but I knew it was a lie.
Since I wasn’t interested in anything other than her bow, as time went by, she gradually moved away from her bow and filled her empty space with us.
Although she still has a hard time expressing her emotions to anyone other than me, just seeing her call Nyaho by her name right away shows how much Gienna has changed.
“Still, like Giena said, it’s true that efficiency is bad.”
The entrance to the sewers is located in the slums, but the sewers extend throughout the city. Therefore, at the current speed, it is impossible to search the entire sewer even when the morning sun rises.
“Did Ardella leave a mark or something?”
“No.”
Ardel, who was walking ahead of me, answered firmly.
“If they were going to leave a mark, they would have divided some of the knights who escaped together in the first place and placed them near Belev or the commercial city.”
“As expected──”
Hua Aak ── !!
Before I could finish speaking, the entire sewer was engulfed in red light.
“Keep your mouth shut.”
“Pfft!!”
Ardel, who was walking in front of her, immediately turned around, picked me up in her arms, and started running down the path we had walked.
But I never went out of the sewer.
“Damn.”
The unpleasant feeling of floating that I experienced in Goldias in the past came over my body.
