Chapter 49 – Ep.49 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
Ah, Mela also tapped her forehead with a puzzled look on her face.
“It’s really fucked up.”
At the same time, she looked at my face sitting in front of me.
She didn’t say anything and just looked at me, but what can I say? This feeling of shame. I was just so fucking sorry.
“After… It worked out better. “She was already stressed because she stopped drinking.”
My sister muttered softly as if she was talking to herself and stood up from her seat.
“You bitch. “This happened because of you. Are you going to keep sitting there?”
“Haha… “It can’t be.”
I quickly followed my sister out of the room.
Jaina, who introduced herself as the vice-captain of the guard, was standing in the hallway, her complexion ashen.
“Ah!! Smith was there too!! “I’m so fucking glad!!”
“Stop making a fuss and give me that thing you’re wearing around your waist.”
“Yes? Ah, yes.”
Jaina untied her sword from her belt and handed it to her older sister.
The older sister, who had handed over the scabbard containing her sword, swung it in the air a few times like a club, made a subtle expression, and then nodded her head slightly.
“Did you say north?”
“Yes. I heard that you went to the mansion with adventurer Siron at lunchtime…”
“Anyway, young people don’t know moderation.”
“That… Amela? I’m sorry, but can you please hurry? They said there were no civilian casualties before I came…”
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“Oh, no!!”
“Let’s do our best. As soon as you notice. I’m not your sister, so why are you complaining like that? “I want to throw away all the corn.”
Hiccup.
When the sister tapped Jaina’s shoulder and gave her a very harsh warning, Jaina’s face, which was already white, turned blue and she even started hiccuping.
“It’s Smith. “Let’s go and see what kind of mess you bastards are making.”
“Yep!!”
I followed behind her sister, leaving Jaina, who was pale, behind her.
So I left the guild, and I could immediately tell from the atmosphere on the street that something really happened.
The street, which should have been bustling with people doing business and adventurers in a fairly chaotic atmosphere, was surprisingly quiet to the point where not even a shadow of a person was visible.
The cluttered street became very noisy with an unknown tension as my sister and I got closer to the northern street.
Invisible security guards were shouting loudly and running around busy trying to control the people, and some people tried to avoid the security guards by crossing to the north street.
Fortunately, the security guard who was trying to control the crowd seemed to have recognized Amela and quickly opened the way, so we were able to enter the northern street while receiving attention from the crowd of people.
Wow!!
As soon as I entered the north street, I heard a loud roar that instantly deafened my ears.
“It’s making a lot of noise.”
“Sister… Is it really okay to walk like this?”
“You bitch. “Then why should I even run when it’s free work?”
“No, that… No. Nope. Yes.”
The image of my sister giving a harsh warning to Jaina passed before her eyes, and I swallowed dry saliva and quickly closed her mouth.
My sister glared at me for a moment, then laughed and lightly punched my chest.
“Hey. Why are you so scared? How can I possibly tell you what to do? “Relax, dude.”
“Kuhm… No, whatever. “When did you say I was nervous?”
“Young. “Even though he’s a man, he’s very scared.”
My sister started walking again, giggling, and I followed behind her, scratching my head shyly.
The closer I got to the source of the sound, the more my face naturally hardened as I walked behind her.
The neatly paved floors of the streets were cracked, broken, and dented here and there, and it was not uncommon to see walls and windows of store buildings and homes broken or, in extreme cases, completely collapsed.
“No fuck. We tried so hard to get to the point, but there were no civilian casualties? Did God really help? “Looks like crazy girls are very lucky.”
My sister clicked her tongue in surprise as she looked at the almost half-collapsed building.
Wow!!
Once again, there was a deafening roar, and this time the ground I was standing on shook slightly.
“Did I bring this for no reason?”
My sister glanced at me for a moment and muttered softly.
To be honest, I wondered if I followed along for no reason. However, regardless of being a man, my male pride could not allow me, the cause-giver, to leave the place.
Are my women running away because they are scared by the fight?
Fuck you Smith. Get your balls off right now.
“It’s okay. “Let’s go quickly.”
“You dude. “You’re not overdoing it, are you?”
“What is it. I was just surprised for a moment, but it’s okay. And no matter what happens, won’t you protect me?”
“Yeah… Yes.”
“So let’s go quickly.”
“Oh, I understand, so don’t push me, you bastard.”
At my stubbornness, which was not my stubbornness, my sister slightly squinted one eye, then sighed and started walking.
“… Sister.”
“Why. “Do you want to go back now?”
“No, that’s not it… “Is this really okay?”
“I guess it’ll be okay.”
I swallowed my saliva as I looked at the dark red colored walls and floor.
To be honest, even after seeing the building half collapsed, I thought they were fighting a little too much. But now that I see blood like this, I wonder if the situation is really more serious than I thought. I started to worry so much that I felt dizzy.
Just when I was starting to feel anxious, my sister and I encountered two soldiers standing on the broken street with stiff faces.
As soon as the soldiers found me and my sister, they rushed towards us like crazy, like people who had seen a ray of hope in despair.
“Ah, Amela!!”
“Mr. Smith!!”
“Hurry!! Uh, please stop those two right now!!”
“If we continue like this, even the western streets will be damaged!! Well, if you do that, you’re really in trouble!!”
“Yes!! “If you cause damage to the temple, you will be in real trouble!!”
The two soldiers move their mouths almost at rapid speed, like baby birds asking for food from their mother birds.
“Shit!! “We won’t be able to move forward unless you go!!”
“Hi-!!”
“S-sorry…”
The moment the soldiers quickly turned their way with very frightened faces at the sister’s shout-
Kwaang-!!
A tremendous sound hit my eardrums.
At the same time, my body was dragged forward against my will.
A firm yet soft pressure gently enveloped my face, and a lot of crumb-like things fell around my head.
I blinked and raised my head.
“Are you okay?”
“Uh… “I think so.”
My sister is holding me in her arms with a grave face.
It was like that. I was burying my face in my sister’s cleavage.
My sister released me from her arms only after shaking off my head and shoulders.
After being freed from my sister’s embrace, I saw chunks of building debris lying on the floor that had not been there a moment ago, and I could understand why my sister had hugged me.
The loud noise I heard a little while ago was probably the sound of my sister doing something to this piece of debris that flew in front of me.
Thump thump thump-
My heart started beating like crazy.
If it weren’t for my sister, I’m not kidding, I would have been hit by flying debris and bought a one-way ticket to the underworld.
The fur on my entire body stood up in momentary fear.
At the same time, my body stiffened against my will.
“Hey, you two there.”
“Yes, yes!!”
“Stay here and watch over this bastard for a moment.”
“Yes? Well, we… Oh, Amela?!”
Leaving the panicked soldiers and me frozen, my sister trudged to the place where the roar was coming from.
“Since ancient times, beatings have been a medicine for horny bitches.”
My sister muttered something meaningful and walked away.
Shortly after my sister’s appearance disappeared, the loud noise that had been making noise around the area stopped.
As the roar stopped, the trembling ground also calmed down.
I stood there in the ruined street with the soldiers for a few minutes.
Soldiers with white faces came running towards us from the direction where my sister disappeared.
I thought the soldiers were passing me by, but one soldier came towards me.
Fortunately, it was a face I remembered.
A girl with short brown hair and a simple look.
It was a soldier named Lina who had escorted me to the guild on Kernax’s orders earlier.
“Situation over!! “Search between the buildings to see if there are any civilians who were unable to evacuate!!”
“Ah, yes!!”
The two soldiers standing next to me quickly left at Lina’s command.
In an instant, only me and Lina were left.
Lina looked at me with her stern face and then carefully opened her mouth.
“That… Mr. Smith?”
“Yes?”
“It’s okay for Amela to go back… You said it was okay to come… Personally, I wonder what it would be like to die…”
“If I see it… “Is there anything that can’t be done?”
“Ah. No. It’s not like that… That… It might seem a bit like that to a man… Plus, the captain…”
“Yes?”
“Oh, no. So… What would you like to do?”
The cute girl in front of me seemed to want me to return to the guild like this, but unfortunately that wasn’t possible.
I definitely need to check what condition the two are in.
Only then did I feel like I could feel at least a little bit at ease.
If you have a major problem with your body… It’s no joke, your heart will be very heavy.
“All right. Then follow me.”
I followed Lina and walked forward along the completely trashed street. After walking so far, it was completely torn down, leaving almost no traces compared to other places… We arrived at a place that looked like an empty lot.
There, I saw Amela squatting in a very bad-looking posture, and a few soldiers fidgeting behind her.
“You can go over there. I have work to do, so…”
Lina only slightly lowered her head and ran behind her again.
I headed to where my sister was.
“Oh… “S-Mr. Smith.”
“Ahh…”
“Captain…”
The soldiers who had gathered at my appearance opened the way with a short sigh, and I eventually arrived next to the crouching sister. And saw.
A red-haired woman and a blonde woman lying face down on the floor.
By all accounts, it was Siron and Kernax.
The older sister was very playfully tapping the buttocks of the two people who were lying face down with the sheath of the sword she had received from the guild.
“Ah, are you here? Well, as you can see, they fought a little too much, but both limbs were fine.”
“Well, it looks like that.”
“Okay. If these bitches get treatment at a temple for a lot of money, they will be completely healed. “The problem comes after that.”
I couldn’t help but look down with pitiful eyes at the two people, who flinched every time my sister hit their buttocks with the sheath of the sword.
“Tsk. “I couldn’t even exercise after eating.”
The older sister clicked her tongue and roughly got up from her seat.
“Hey. “Arrest him and keep him in prison.”
“Yes, old.”
The soldiers approached with stiff faces and tightly bound the hands and feet of Siron and Kernax, who were spread out on the floor, with something like rope.
The soldiers who had finished binding very carefully grabbed the bodies of Siron and Kernax and lifted them up.
With a patter, the faces of the two people who had been pinned to the floor were pulled out.
Their faces were bruised all over, and their lips were torn here and there.
It was especially pitiful to see both of their left eyeballs swollen bright blue.
Regardless of my feelings, the soldiers left the scene, taking the two people they had tied up.
“It’s Smith.”
“Yep.”
“I said you’re good at massage, right? When you get back, give it a try.”
“… “You weren’t going to accept it, were you?”
“You bitch. Don’t you think you’ll have to pay the price if you’ve been keeping up with your bastard lovers? Are you dissatisfied?”
“No. “That is very true.”
Without knowing how the fight ended, I desperately had to give Amela a full body massage until she fell asleep that day.
A week after Siron and Kernax went to prison.
Today too, I was preparing early in the morning for a meeting with the two people.
Knock knock.
At the sound of a knock on the door, I stopped for a moment and went to the door and opened it.
“Who… ?”
“A long time. Brother.”
Ardella, with dazzling silver hair, smiled vaguely at me.
Ardella, wearing black leather pants and a thin white shirt instead of silver armor, suddenly entered my room.
“That… Uh…”
“Would it be difficult if I came in?”
“Oh, no.”
I checked to see who else was outside the door.
Fortunately, there was no one there.
“The rest are at security, so close the door quickly and sit here.”
When he sat down on my bed and tapped his hand, I swallowed my saliva and quickly closed the door, next to Ardella… I sat a little further away.
“That… “For what reason?”
“What reason do you need to come to see your sister as your younger brother?”
“No. There’s no need. Yes. Sure.”
“Haha, just kidding. What. It’s true that I came directly to see you, but that doesn’t mean I came without a reason. First of all, this.”
“… ?”
I unfolded the parchment that Ardella gave me.
『Damage situation report at Mallingta North Gate.
– No use of roads in zones 1, 2, and 3.
-13 private houses destroyed.
-9 stores cannot operate.
-37 magic lanterns…』
Just a quick look at it made me feel cold sweat running down my back.
I gently placed the parchment on my lap and looked at Ardella.
Lady Ardella was still smiling faintly while looking at me.
“I… “Why is this?”
“Smith. “Isn’t that what your lovers did?”
Gulp.
Without even realizing it, I started drooling.
“Haha, don’t be nervous. I don’t mean to blame you. “I just showed it to let you know that if adventurers Siron and Kernax do not properly cover the damage amount written there, they will have to receive a fairly high punishment.”
“… “Can you repay it?”
“Hmm, well. If those two people had it in their back pockets, they might be able to repay it somehow. But otherwise, it is an impossible amount.”
“Uh, how much is it?”
“341 gold coins.”
“Heeeeek—!!”
I ran my hands down my face and screamed.
Haha, what is it? “That funny reaction.”
“Well, it’s not a funny story at all, is it!!”
Even though this was an incident that occurred in the city that she would inherit, Lady Ardella just smiled slightly as she looked at me.
Ardella, who laughed for a moment, said.
“For your information, if you fail to pay the damage within two days, we will demote you both to slaves and work for you for the rest of your life.”
“…”
My face suddenly stiffened at the word slave.
Master Ardella, who was looking at me like that, shook his head.
“Hmm. I was planning on teasing you a bit, Smith. “Looking at your stiff face, this isn’t very pleasant either.”
“… ?”
“There is no lie in what I said. However, Smith. “If you accept my offer, I can end up doing construction labor for both of you.”
“Really? I’ll do it!! “I don’t know what it is, but I’ll accept it.”
“Hmm…”
“Ardella… Sir?”
Even though I said I would accept the offer, Ardella’s expression was even more determined than before.
“No, no. “It seems like they care so much that they accepted my offer without even hearing what it was.”
I just nodded.
“Okay… Well, I guess it’s okay. Now, this is my suggestion to you. Please read it.”
Lady Ardella handed me a new piece of parchment and I quickly unfolded it.
“This…”
“Maybe it’s not such a bad offer.”
At Ardella’s words, I could only nod with a subtle expression.
That’s right…
“Did you say she was a night fairy? If you sell it to all the knights and soldiers in the County of Filoria for just the price of the materials, I will give you 70% of the amount you two have to pay.”
Isn’t this telling me to pay for everything?
