Chapter 24 – Ep.24 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
“I look forward to your next visit.”
“Oh, yes.”
I walked out of the inn while being greeted by a polite, yet not excessive, female staff member.
“The name of this place was Bambino’s Garden.”
At that time, when the honey chestnut girl asked me in front of me if she was an employee of Bambino, she thought, ‘What kind of stupid name is that?’ But when she put it like this, it seemed like a name that suited her better than she thought.
Is this a difference in perception?
Jingling, I carefully packed the bag of silver coins that Siron had left in front of me, and then roughly walked towards the east gate where the guard captain was likely to be.
“Wild pork skewers cost 3 won for one!!”
“Now~ It doesn’t come every day~ It’s something to ward off bad luck…” .”
“Cute oppa over there~? “Would you like to take a look at this bracelet?”
The eastern street was definitely noisier than the other streets.
I don’t know about other places, but here you can set up as many stalls on the street as you want by paying the security guard for a place, so new stalls open and disappear every day, keeping the streets lively.
“If you think about it, the security here. “Isn’t it better than I thought?”
There must have been countless minor incidents, but if that’s the case, fist fights happen ten times a day in the guild, so I can’t actually get involved in the incident.
It’s already been 4 years since I stayed here, and in just a little while we’ll be entering the 5th year, and the only incident that really caused an uproar in the city was the public punishment of the black-faced human traffickers who kidnapped me. No, was it a public punishment here?
Anyway, that will be all the punishment for those naughty bitches.
“No, is it really good?”
When I think about it, even though I walked around the alleys with a money bag on my belt looking for a blacksmith shop, no women argued with me.
Looking back, not only that, but while I was wandering around running errands, I never even had the experience of being caught by someone, stalking someone, or being hunted to the wrong place.
No, whatever. Although the gaze was seen as an explicit gaze full of desire, there were no women who tried to force or touch their bodies without permission.
What?
Now that I think about it, something is really strange.
The bastards who sold me were often sexually harassed by female adventurers, but as a slave, I don’t even remember being sexually harassed like that.
“Hmm… “It’s really fucking weird.”
“What’s so strange?”
“Yes? Uh?”
I raised my head when I heard a sharp voice ringing in my ears, and the guard captain, whose blond hair looked very good even today, was standing there.
I think I was walking while thinking about something else, but somehow I made it to the East Gate security station. I’m pretty good too.
“Why are you doing that? “He looked a little dazed.”
“No, no. “I was just walking for a moment, thinking about something else, and was surprised to suddenly see the security commander in front of me.”
“Hmm… Is it?”
As soon as I finished speaking, the guard captain’s face hardened slightly and he secretly touched his cheek or the area around his eyes.
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. The word ‘surprised’ literally just means ‘surprised’. “Honestly, it’s bad for my heart when a beautiful woman like the guard captain suddenly appears in front of me.”
“Beauty, beauty… What the heck. Huh!! So… “What brings you here?”
The guard captain, whose face was stiff but with a slight blush on his cheeks, cleared his throat and glanced at me.
“If you have any intention of leaving the castle gate, go back. “Because I can’t allow it.”
“Haha, I wonder if you came here for that reason. “It’s nothing else, I just came here to meet the guard captain.”
“Me… Cast?”
-Oh my god.
―Wow, Mr… Crazy. Is it true?
-No shit. I heard you saw a bunch of adventurers going up to the guild dorm together, and that wasn’t Gura?
-What. So our captain is really the second?
“Keuuuuu!! It’s a little noisy around here. “Let’s move the location a bit first.”
“Yep.”
I pretended not to hear the other guards talking as much as possible and followed the guard captain into the barracks next door.
The barracks are equipped with an environment where guards can take a break at any time, with cots covered in thick blankets and chairs lined with padded cushions.
“Sit somewhere comfortable.”
“Ah, yep.”
I dragged a chair over and sat down.
It’s an obvious and sad fact, but even this chair was softer than the bed in my room.
“So… ? “For what reason did you come to me?”
“Oh, didn’t we make plans for dinner? So I came to ask when you are free.”
“Cough!!”
“Security Captain?”
“Oh, no. Coughing for a moment…”
The guard captain tried his best to hide his flushed face and maintain a calm expression, but it seemed like he couldn’t do anything as his blue eyes began to shake violently, contrary to his stiff face.
“Okay… I made that promise. But if you think about it, it wasn’t something worth getting a meal, so why bother…”
-Oh~! Now that I think about it, does the captain have anything planned for this evening?
-Schedule? No way! From what I understand, you’ve been training at home for three months?
―Really~?
-That’s right!!
Softly, softly.
It’s no joke, the security captain’s face turned bright red, as if someone had poured red paint on his face.
Squeak.
Hodadadadadak—!!
As soon as I heard the guard captain get up from his chair, I heard the sound of several rushing footsteps outside the barracks, and the guard captain’s face became even redder.
“…”
“…”
It is awkward.
It’s so awkward that I feel like I’m going to die.
If I had been the one feeling embarrassed, I would have put an iron plate on his face and somehow continued the conversation.
Unfortunately, the security commander seemed to be completely immune to this kind of thing, so he couldn’t even sit down properly in his chair and was just staring helplessly at the ground.
I can’t do it.
I didn’t want to use this method, but I felt like I would fall over because it would be really awkward if I continued like this.
“Security Captain. “Are you sure you don’t like me?”
“What, what, what, what, what…” !! Well, well, it’s not… !!”
“Then why are you trying to avoid dinner with me?”
“Oh, no, that’s… I really didn’t think it was something worthy of being treated to a meal…”
“I told you I wanted to treat you well. Still don’t like it?”
“… That… No… All.”
The voice of the guard captain, who was always confident and powerful, was small and quiet, like the breathing of a rat hiding in a rat hole.
“So, are you having dinner with me?”
“… Yes, since you say that… “Let’s do that.”
“Great.”
“Okay…”
The guard captain slumped down in his seat and swiped his face with both hands.
“So are you okay with this evening?”
“… Okay.”
The guard captain must have realized that there was no room for him to escape as his subordinates had already made a big fuss outside, so he obediently nodded his head.
“Then what do you like on the menu?”
“To you… Everything will follow your choice. No, to the cheapest place…”
—By the way, was it last week? Didn’t the hunter who came to sell the skin hand over the big-antler deer meat at a low price?
-Ah~ That’s right, that’s right. In particular, I put a bit too much on it to make it look good to the captain.
―And even if it was roughly cooked, it was so delicious that it melted in your mouth~?
-Ah~ Okay then. Very gently in your mouth… What?!
With the sound of a sharp wind, I thought something had passed by my face, and at the same time, I heard the deathly words of a guard talking outside the barracks.
“For a moment. Wait here. “Never come out.”
“… Yes.”
I held the thick armrest of the chair, which I don’t even know when I broke, in one hand, and looked back at the guard captain as he walked out of the barracks, and then quietly closed my eyes.
-Hee, hee hee!! Captain!!
-Quek!! Please save me!!
-Fuck you!! It’s all about wanting everything to go well… !! Bone, bone… Keck…
The very heavy sound of threshing and the cries of several guards combined to form a very terrible melody that flowed into my ears.
– Clean up these bitches and clean up here before I come out.
-Yes, yep!!
“Whoa… “You looked ugly.”
“No.”
I straightened my back and answered the guard captain’s words from behind me like a sword.
As expected, the wind flowing inside was faint but fishy. This is because the unique smell of blood was mixed with it.
“Okay. Dinner. Let’s do it for dinner tonight. The location is my home. “Because there was some good meat left.”
“Well, I see. Then… “Can I do the cooking?”
“Let’s decide that based on the situation. “Wait a moment.”
The guard captain went out of the barracks again.
– Clean it up quickly.
-Yep!! You bitch!! If you shovel like that, the ground will be smooth!!
-I’m sorry!!
As soon as the security captain leaves, he shouts! The harsh sound of the shovel could be heard even inside the barracks.
When the guard commander said a word, the senior soldier shouted, and the soldiers below shouted at the top of their lungs and shoveled, and the vicious cycle continued for a long time.
“Smith.”
“Yep!!”
I jumped up from my chair and answered the guard captain’s call, feeling like a new soldier who had just completed my transfer report.
“I’ll pick you up after work. Are you going to be in the adventurer’s guild?”
“Yep! “It should be at the Adventurer’s Guild!!”
“I get it. Well then, let’s rest here for a while until the soldier outside calls us. I have work to do so I’ll go first. “I’ll see you later in the evening.”
Behind me, I could only hear the sound of the guard captain leaving the barracks.
After standing for a while, I let out a long sigh and almost collapsed into a chair.
Is it possible for a person’s attitude to change like that in an instant, without putting on a mask?
I was so scared that I almost peed myself.
Now that I think about it, I sometimes have a habit of forgetting about the ecology of this place because the women here treat me so well.
The security guard here is made up of pretty and sexy older women, but on Earth, all the older men are well-built and sturdy, and they stand on duty with swords in their hands.
Even though the older brothers on Earth do not break out of the human frame, some of the older sisters here used to show superpowers that easily broke the human frame.
Siron was a representative example, and now that I look at it, the guard captain also seemed to be one of those people who broke away from the human mold.
I still have no idea what the object was that passed by my cheek and shot the soldier outside the barracks.
“Something… It’s not the picture I expected…”
The sound of thrashing that could still be heard outside the barracks and the shock of the terrible sound created by the sighs of the senior soldiers still vividly lingered in my ears and sent a chill down my spine.
-Wow!! Denia had a seizure!! Priests!! Call the priest!!
―Oh my… I recognized him from the time I made fun of him. Hey. Just roughly pick out the blood and finish appropriately. I’m going to call the priest.
The outside of the barracks became noisy again.
As a bonus, my mind was also disturbed.
