Smith， a Black Company in Another World 124

Chapter 124 – Ep.124 Smith, a Black Company in Another World

The streets of Baselan are brightly lit up at night with the bright light emitted by magic lanterns.

“This is the place.”
“Oh… Oh, thank you.”
“No. “Then I will be waiting nearby.”

The soldiers who guided and escorted me to a tavern called ‘Aqua Hill’ on behalf of Siron and Gienna bowed their heads and dispersed around.

I briefly admired the exterior of the bar, which I was reluctant to enter with my mediocre money, and then went inside.

“Welcome.”
“Ah, yep.”

A man neatly dressed like a waiter approached me and greeted me politely.

Perhaps because Nob was wearing high-heeled shoes, his head barely reached the bottom of my nipple. His face had an ordinary handsome appearance. I don’t know why all the men here look as handsome as the women.

“Is there anyone you plan to meet here?”
“I didn’t make any special promises… “A guy named Melvin told me to come see him anytime.”
“Ah. You said so. Come this way.”

I walked inside, following the staff member who politely extended one hand and offered to guide me.

-That’s what I mean.
―New costumes…
―Oh my, that’s really weird.

I could see men wearing expensive-looking rings and earrings on their hands, sitting in pairs, chatting like women.

But these bastards. Your mouth is teasing, but why are your eyes glancing at me?

Their mouths were obviously talking to each other, but when I passed by, I could feel everyone’s eyes rolling and looking at me.

“Whoa~”

I exhaled slowly.

Let’s not get excited. Calm down Smith.

From the time they left the castle, only the soldiers accompanied them, but Siron and the others, who had been hiding in their robes before that, were probably stationed near this building.

I took a deep breath as I gently touched the ring that barely fit on the little finger of my left hand.

If you get excited here, even though nothing much has happened, the Shiron hiding outside may come storming in here.

If we do that, let alone causing inconvenience to everyone, this matter, which could have been completed neatly today, will become more complicated and drag on for a long time.

“Huh~ Good.”

After finding peace of mind again, I walked after the employee, completely ignoring the gaze of those around me.

I had to walk for quite a while because the building was a lot bigger than I thought.

“Then.”

The employee pointed to a person sitting at what appeared to be a round bar, bowed briefly, and then returned the way he came.

Left alone, I looked around for a moment and then walked towards the guy with the back who looked like a boy.

“Hmm.”
“… ?”

It was a little awkward for me to sit right next to him, so I sat down one seat away and cleared my throat briefly. Then the young bastard took a sip of a blue drink that looked like a cocktail and turned his head towards me.

“… Uh?”
“What.”
“Ah!! “You came!!”

The guy who put down his glass on the table got up from his seat with a bright smile and quickly approached me.

“Use it!! Stop talking and sit down for a moment. And don’t touch my body.”
“Ah yes. Sure. Okay.”

The guy nodded his head as if he would obediently follow my instructions, took the glass he was drinking from, and took a seat right next to me.

I wanted to tell him to go back to where he was originally sitting, but now was the time for me to be patient for the sake of the plan, so I controlled my mind by taking a long breath.

“Please give me a drink like this.”

While I was compiling my mind, he placed his order with a man who appeared to be a bartender, and the slightly older-looking man who took the order nodded his head and started tossing around pretty colored liquids and shaking them around.

Widely.

In an instant, the finished drink was placed in front of me.

But can I eat this?

The blue liquid was shining brightly, like a Pocari sweat made in a school science lab.

Thrive. Actually, I guess not all the bastards here are from the same group.

I didn’t think much of it when I came in, but when I saw the drink in front of me, I naturally had that suspicion.

“It’s a drink called Jewel of the Sky. It’s sweet and has a spicy finish and is very delicious. “Try it.”
“…”

As I looked at the guy smiling brightly and offering me a drink with a stupid name, I started not wanting to drink the drink in front of me even more.

Still, it’s strange to come this far and just stay there…

A sver.

I picked up the glass filled with brightly shining blue liquid and dipped my tongue just a little bit into it.

… Oh?

“It’s delicious, right?”
“… Greatness.”

I slowly rolled up my tongue and took a sip of the drink.

It had a sweetness that wasn’t artificial, and my mouth felt very cool when the drink touched it. Additionally, it felt very smooth down my throat, and the scent of alcohol at the end was minimal, so it didn’t make me frown at all.

“Have you eaten?”
“Uh. “I came here after having a quick meal.”
“Then, here, please give me a line of black salt cookies.”

The man who made the drink put down the tool he was cleaning and disappeared to the side.

Soon after, the man placed a long plate in front of us with ten cookies lying side by side.

The guy picked up an ordinary-looking cookie and took a bite. He then spoke after taking a sip of the remaining drink in his glass.

“It tastes better when we eat it together like this.”
“Hmm.”

Judging by the name, the cookies will probably be salty. Since ancient times, sweet and salty have been famous as a combination that has no one like or dislike. I tasted both of them the same way he did.

Is it sweet and salty after all?

Perhaps because the crunchy texture of the cookies combined, it became both delicious and fun to eat.

“Does it fit your mouth?”

Instead of answering, I just nodded and ate some drinks and cookies. He looked at me blankly for a moment.

“Then… “Do you accept my apology?”
“Let’s do it that way.”

Anyway, I’m not going to see anything more once I leave here, and even though it’s a trap, the things I’m eating and drinking now won’t be cheap, so I think I’ll just sum it up with these.

“Ah!! Thank you!!”

His words gained a little more weight and his expression brightened.

The more I looked, the more goosebumps appeared on his forearms.

I can’t believe that such a cocky brat turned into such a diligent boy.

What kind of terrible and scary trick did they pull?

I don’t know, but it’s probably not usually terrible. When I see a person change like that in an instant, they must have suffered something more terrible than I can imagine.

Well, that doesn’t mean the guy in front of me looks pitiful.

So why didn’t you act more consistently from the beginning?

Then you wouldn’t have been kicked out of the castle and you wouldn’t have had your nose pierced by strange bastards. It’s all karma that you have accumulated. Karma.

“… Is that really the case?”

Maybe it was because it had been a while since I had been drinking alcohol, but while I was distracted for a moment, he muttered something to me. Seriously, I couldn’t even hear what was said.

“Oh, that’s right.”
“And… It must have been really difficult. No matter how precious food is. “You eat dried animal feces.”
“… ?”

What. Why do I eat that?

With just one answer, I instantly became a starving desert man eating animal dung.

I wanted to say no because I felt like it, but since we hadn’t seen each other for a long time and it was annoying, I decided to leave it alone.

After that, he asked me various things about the desert, and I gave him the same answer. I answered no repeatedly.

First of all, although he claims to be from the desert, he actually knows nothing about the desert, so he cannot give a long answer to his question.

You have to know something to talk about it.

This is the excuse I always make whenever my knowledge is tested, but just learning the letters was enough to make my head explode, and at the time, I didn’t have enough time because the Susu-gang duo were making such a fuss. Anyway, that’s it.

After that, women these days only see men as an outlet for their sexual desires, and men need to come together and speak out. I repeated the same nonsense and filled my empty glass with new drinks over and over again.

“That’s it… Shut up. Yeozu-ah’s Himul, it’s not for borrowing… Ugh, Namzudo glared at me…”
“Uh. Okay. “I understand, so please look here and stop burping.”

Because I really want to have a good night.

What the hell is this, belching in your brother’s face without any hesitation? Pop! Seed.

“Ugh… Ugh…”
“… ?”

The guy who was talking non-stop melted onto the table like a jellyfish pulled out of the sea.

“Hey? Hey. Hey.”
“…”

It wasn’t like he had collapsed because he was breathing, but it seemed like he was completely stretched out.

“Such punishment.”

If this is the case, who will do the calculations? Could it be me?

As soon as my thoughts reached that point, my eyes turned to the guy who had stretched out again.

Isn’t this guy actually fine?

He may have been acting all this time to try to screw me with advanced psychological warfare.

After confirming that the man who was making the drink had left for a moment, I quickly looked over his fallen body.

If the bastard who called you out and offered to treat you for anything is the attention of those around you, you have no choice but to take some money out of his arms and pay the bill.

But no matter how much I rummaged through my arms, I couldn’t hear the sound of the coin. No particularly heavy-looking pockets were found.

Yes. This bastard was a beggar like me who didn’t have a single fairy tale.

“Whoa!! Phew… Huuu~”

I took a long breath and cooled down the anger that had risen slightly.

“I already paid a lot of money in advance, so you can just leave.”
“… ?”

As I was catching my breath, I looked at the man who I don’t know when he returned.

As I looked, the man spoke again.

“You can just go. And you don’t have to worry, we will take you to your accommodation.”
“Oh, yeah…”

Aside from everything else, I could feel the slight remaining anger completely disappearing when I heard that there was no need to calculate.

I asked the man, taking my hand away from his embrace.

“Where is this guy’s accommodation?”
“It’s Bambino.”

I asked just in case, and it was the same.

“Oh, then I will take you there myself.”
“All right.”

The man nodded his head and went up to the table to retrieve my and the guy’s empty glasses and start organizing them.

I roughly picked up the completely stretched out guy and put him on his back.

If he had been an adult man, he would have felt very dirty, but since he was still a boy, his body was light and the only fur he could touch was down, so he didn’t feel that bad.

But is it right to take this guy?

The guy who set the trap got drunk and lost his mind. I wonder if this is really a trap.

Anyway, I went out carrying the stretched out guy.

When I came out, the night sky had become a little darker.

“Mr. Smith.”

When I came out and stood there for a moment, soldiers who had dispersed somewhere approached me.

“I’d like the Bambino too, please.”
“Yes.”

Although people’s gaze was a bit intrusive, it was very comfortable as I walked among the six soldiers with swords on their waists and no one was there to stop me.

“That place.”
“Yes. “It looks like that.”

It’s an unusually tall building.

If you think about Bambino in Mallingta, the design of the building is similar.

“Then, thank you for your hard work.”
“No.”

I bowed my head to the soldiers and walked toward Bambino with him on my back.

Two strong-looking women were guarding the door. When they saw me and the guy riding on my back, they moved to the side and briefly lowered their heads.

I saw the escorts in Mallingta greeting each other in that way a few times, so I went into Bambino without responding.

Perhaps because it was late in the evening, the lobby on the first floor was very quiet. Maybe that’s why it caught the attention of employees in an instant.

A man with a sad look approached us.

“Are you the one who came from the Water Hill?”
“No. “We are a group.”
“Oh, my. “I was rude.”

The man bowed his head to me and apologized.

“It’s okay. Rather than that, may I ask you to show me to my room?”
“Of course. “Please follow me.”

I was guided by a friendly staff member and climbed the stairs in the center of the lobby.

It was when I climbed one floor, another floor, and another floor.

Two women guarding a tightly closed door.

Even when I previously took a room on the top floor with Siron, there were people guarding the door like this.

They glanced at the employee standing in front of me and opened the door on their own.

“Come this way.”

After arriving at the top floor with the staff member, I followed him and walked down the wide, quiet hallway, stepping on the luxurious carpet.

Beep beep.

The employee took out a black card from his pocket and held it to the door, and a sound was heard from the door. The more I looked, the more it seemed like I was looking at a hotel on Earth.

“This is an employee card, and you probably have the card in this room. Then. May you rest in peace.”

The employee greeted politely until the end and quietly disappeared the way he came.

I looked around for a moment.

“Hmm. Greatness.”

As I was about to open the door and go in, I suddenly felt nervous.

“Whoa… Yet. “Not yet.”

Trying to calm my mind, I grabbed the door that the employee had opened for me and opened it.

The door opened softly without any sound.

The room was dark, and only the light that came through the door I opened slightly brightened the entrance.

Thrive. It’s even more so because it’s dark.

When I searched the body of the guy stretched out earlier, I couldn’t find anything like a card. I hesitated for a moment about whether to go inside, but the atmosphere in the room was so quiet that I didn’t even think anyone would be there, so I ended up going inside.

Click!!

As soon as I entered the room, the door closed and locked itself.

“Three punishment. What do I need to see? “I really can’t see anything.”

I was curious as to who came up with the idea that magical power can only be supplied by inserting a card.

In the first place, I wondered if this was a real trap.

I carefully went inside with my shoes on. I saw it through the light coming in from the entrance earlier, and when I went in, I saw a large room, so I thought I’d go in there first.

“Oh. What. “There’s a window here too.”

Although it was covered by a curtain, the moonlight came in softly underneath it, allowing me to see that there was a bed right next to it.

I quickly threw the guy I was carrying on the bed.

I heard something grunting, but I ignored it and walked towards the window, and Kurt walked wide.

“Oh… ? “It’s pretty good.”

The magic lights hanging on the street twinkled, making it a painting of its own.

“But there’s really nothing.”

I was quietly looking outside through the window and raised my head to look into the room.

“… ?”

I made eye contact with someone reflected in the window.

“Aww, fuck!!”

I was so shocked that the hexagon came out of my mouth and I quickly turned around.

Two strange-looking men were suddenly standing in front of me.

“Three… “I almost lost my liver.”

I was really surprised because he appeared without a sound, but when I actually saw him face to face, I was like, boom! I felt my heart, which had started racing, quickly calm down.

He is tall enough to touch my solar plexus at most, and has a delicate body with no muscles. He was the average of a typical man in this world.

In other words, you can fold your spinal column like a folder if you want to.

“Well, who are you and why do you suddenly appear? Yes?”

I asked somewhat crookedly, but they didn’t answer. He just stood still and stared at me.

“No, whatever. “Why are you looking at me so intently in a bad mood?”

I was ready to pounce if there was even the slightest mistake.

At that time, the guys who had kept their mouths shut opened their mouths.

“A lean body. Sturdy physique. “You are truly our saint.”
“Ah, saint.”
“Well, what? Fuck. Do not come!!”

The guys who were standing with faces as stiff as dolls suddenly took on an ecstatic expression and came towards me with their hands outstretched.

Honestly, I was so freaked out.

“It’s okay. “It’s just because you haven’t yet realized that you are a saint.”
“We are here to help. Ruler.”

They came and tried to grab me.

“Conflict!!”

I shook my fist.

“Oops!!”
“Keck…”

The guy who was hit on the chin by the fist I swung fell to the ground, and the other guy was hit on the cheekbone by the elbow of my outstretched fist and fell backwards.

“Fuck you. “These bastards are no bigger than a handful.”

I was calm among the fierce beasts. Actually, I’m not the type of guy who goes anywhere and gets beaten up.

“People who don’t matter are annoying and damn it. Kak-tsk!!”

I spit on the bodies of the fallen guys, feeling proud that I had solved the problem on my own before the Shirons arrived.

Match. Match. Match.

“… ?”

Applause coming from the side.

At that moment, goosebumps appeared on my back.

“Very, very good.”

A neutral voice, unidentifiable as to whether it was male or female, came from the bed.

I quickly widened the distance.

Rustle, rustle.

With the sound of the blanket being swept, I could tell that someone had come down from the bed.

“When I just saw and heard, I thought it might be like that, but seeing it in person, I can definitely feel it.”

The guy who was hidden in the shadows slowly walked out under the moonlight.

“Hehe… ?”

I took a step back.

“Ah, saint.”

A skinhead with not a single hair on his head.

He’s almost a head taller than me.

A macho body that makes my muscles look a little shabby.

More than anything…

“Help, help!! Douuuuum!!”

The fact that the only thing on my body was a pair of triangle pants made me very scared.
