Chapter 50 – Ep.50 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
Inside the gloomy iron bars where no sunlight comes in.
“…”
“…”
Siron and Kernax, who still had bright blue bruises around their eyes, were leaning against the walls on either side, looking down at the floor.
The two men, who were imprisoned in the basement of the Mallingta East Gate, came to their senses and kept their mouths shut for a week, to the point where they could not even breathe except during meal times.
Accordingly, other criminals who had been brought to prison for theft or assault were also spending their days in prison feeling oppressed by the atmosphere of the two men.
The atmosphere inside the prison was so miserable that even the soldiers who were supposed to guard the prison were scared and reluctant to enter.
The only time they had a moment of breathing room was when Smith visited the prison shortly after lunch to see the two of them.
Smith is so famous that there is no one in the city who doesn’t know him.
This is because Smith’s visiting time is the only time when Siron and Kernax are away at the same time.
But today, for some reason, even though it was well past lunch time, the guard did not come down to announce the visitation news.
Thanks to this, the atmosphere in the prison was heading towards the worst it had been all week.
Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud…
Siron began hitting his head against the wall he was leaning against, and the sound echoed darkly throughout the prison.
“It’s noisy.”
“…”
Kernax, who found the sound annoying, muttered a low complaint, but Siron did not even pretend to hear him and continued to hit his head against the wall.
Those imprisoned in prison could clearly see the situation of the two even if they did not want to.
Thanks to this, their backs and hands were becoming damp in real time with cold sweat seeping out.
This is because everyone knows that if Siron and Kernax, who are in prison without proper restraints, go on a rampage once again, it is no joke and the prison will collapse in the blink of an eye.
But fortunately, what everyone was worried about did not happen.
After a while, Siron stopped banging his head against the wall, and Kernax did not say anything more.
Silence returned to the prison. For a few minutes.
“Is there anyone there?”
Cernax, who had been silent, opened her mouth in a voice that was not very loud, but her words echoed throughout the prison and even reached the ears of the soldier guarding her entrance.
Not long after, a soldier with a stiff face rushed to the front of the prison where Siron and Kernax were imprisoned.
“W-what’s going on?”
Although he was imprisoned for an unprecedented incident, Kernax still maintained his position as commander of the guards.
“… “Is there anything going on outside?”
“What… Oh, now, please wait a moment!!”
Fortunately, the soldier was not completely oblivious, so he caught what Kernax was really trying to ask, and quickly returned to his seat and whispered softly in the ear of another soldier.
‘Go out and find out what’s going on with Mr. Smith.’
‘Yep.’
As soon as the senior’s order was given, the junior soldier quickly ran upstairs.
It was about an hour later that the replacement soldier came back.
‘What. ‘What took you so long?’
‘Well, that…’ .’
The junior soldier went up and explained in detail to the senior soldier what he had learned.
While they were here on shift in the early morning, Ardella and his entourage visited the guard and learned that Ardella was having a personal meeting with Smith regarding the matter of Siron and Cernax.
‘Why Mr. Smith?’
‘Up to that point, I…’
Both senior and junior soldiers wondered why Ardella was meeting Smith.
It was natural that Ardella himself had visited with his entourage and that it was the guard captain, not anyone else, who had caused the incident, but it was impossible to guess why he had met with Smith about that issue.
If possible, I would like to find out the reason, but since the opponent was the next head of the Count Filoria family, the senior soldier quickly ran to Kernax with the news he heard from the junior soldier.
As soon as the senior soldier arrived, Kernax and Siron’s gaze simultaneously turned to the senior soldier.
The two quietly waited for the senior soldier to speak.
“Well, Captain…”
The senior soldier stood close to the iron bars and told Kernax exactly what he had heard from the junior soldier in a very quiet voice, so low that only the two of them could hear.
Siron, who was listening next to me, suddenly stood up.
The senior soldier swallowed dryly and stepped back, and Kernax frowned.
“Sit down. “If more incidents occur here, there is really no turning back.”
“… “Fuck.”
Siron clicked his tongue and sat down again.
The senior soldier breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly to Kernax, and returned to his original position.
Crackling… Crack… Crack.
Siron began grinding his teeth with sharp teeth that were different from others, and the eerie sound echoed throughout the prison.
“It’s crazy.”
“…”
For a moment.
Siron’s red eyes met Kernax’s blue eyes.
The two stared at each other with eyes of contrasting colors.
The two people stared at each other in silence for a long time.
It was Shiron who broke the silence first.
“Hey.”
“What.”
The two do not hide how they express their feelings in their words that they blatantly do not like each other.
“What do you think she’s seeing Smith for?”
“…”
In response to Siron’s question, Kernax glared at Siron’s leg.
Thin, black fabric was visible between torn leather pants.
Kernax recognized at once that it was the Night Fairy that Smith had given him as a gift.
That’s because it was his fault that he couldn’t see the outcome properly in the previous fight.
Since each side blocked each other’s fatal attacks with their legs, it was natural that the match was not easy.
The fact that they both received the same gift at the same time was also the reason why the heat spread and they crossed the line.
Cernax shook off his idle thoughts and answered Siron’s question.
“It’s probably because of these things you and I are wearing.”
I don’t know what the others think of Count Philoria and her eldest daughter, but Ardella, who is in a position to write her own reports and receive direct instructions, knows.
How sensitive the mother and daughter are to the interests of Count Filoria.
“I mean, let alone that stuff, why is she meeting Smith about us?”
“If blood rushes to your head, does that mean you won’t be able to think? “I’m trapped just like you, so how do I know that?”
“You bitch.”
“Joy. “If it weren’t for the item Smith made, you would have lost both your legs to my sword strike.”
“Damn. “You must have had to crawl for the rest of your life because both your knees gave out as soon as you started.”
Siron and Kernax glared at each other again as if they were going to kill each other.
The prisoners imprisoned right across from them had nothing to do other than close their eyes to the bloody confrontation between the two men, which was not unusual at any time, and pray to God that they would sincerely regret the sins they had committed and that they would live a truly righteous life once they got out of here.
However, fortunately, the fight between Siron and Kernax did not occur.
The two stopped glaring as if they had made a promise and let out a deep sigh.
“Hey.”
“What.”
“I’m first and you bitch is second. “Never forget.”
“… Ha.”
“Why you bitch? “What else are you dissatisfied with?”
Siron glared at Kernax, who was sighing at the difficult decision he had made.
Kernax, on the other hand, glared at Siron with pitiful eyes and said.
“Don’t you know that that’s not important right now?”
“Shit. “Is there anything more important than this?”
“Have you really forgotten what you and I are in here for?”
“That… “Fuck.”
Siron tapped his forehead! It was so strong that it made a sound.
“… What a year. “It’s all because of you bitch.”
“Don’t be funny. “If you hadn’t humiliated me in front of Smith, it wouldn’t have happened like this.”
“…”
“…”
The two glared at each other for a while again.
“Do you have any money?”
“There was. Until some bitch blows the house down.”
“… Crazy bitch. “Then why are you taking me to a place like that?”
“I didn’t know someone would roll their eyes like a female orc in heat.”
“Hey. Your bitch wasn’t easy either. You talk like you were some kind of noble bitch. “I went through all the double lust and was very damned.”
“My, when did I do that?”
“Look at this bitch? Ha~ fuck. “That idiot Smith should have seen that.”
“Don’t fabricate it… !! Invention… Do not do that.”
Cernax was surprised that she had raised her voice for the moment, and she hesitated for a moment, and she glared at him with a look on her face that told her that the theory was ridiculous.
“Under… Shit. “Anyway, you know now.”
“… “If you sell the swords you collect, you can make about 20 gold.”
“…”
“…”
Siron glared at Kernax with pitiful eyes, and Kernax secretly avoided Siron’s gaze.
“Still… Since Ardella met with Smith about our problem, we will be free from slavery.”
“That’s the problem bitch. That crazy bitch… Ha, that’s it.”
Siron still hasn’t forgotten what happened at the temple.
Men don’t know… A woman’s war of nerves.
How could he forget that damn bitch who completely ignored him and naturally slapped his tail at Smith even though he was next to him?
“Damn, that crazy bitch isn’t even asking for your body, is she?”
“Smith is enough… No… “I don’t know about other nobles, but Ardella is not the kind of person who would satisfy her selfish desires with such things.”
“Oh, I’m so frustrated, I’m going crazy!! So, it’s because you don’t know her that well?”
“Gibberish. Even if I know, I know more. “If the thing you’re worried about really, really happens, then I’ll bow down to you cleanly.”
“You crazy bitch. “At that time, you bitch will just bow down and there’s nothing to do!!”
“I know. So that’s what I’m saying. For sure… “It will end well.”
-It’s just as he said.
A clear woman’s voice was heard from the wide prison hallway.
Siron and Kernax closed their mouths as soon as they heard that voice.
Footsteps began to be heard regularly in the quiet hallway, and Ardella appeared alone in the darkness, shining in silver light.
She said, “I heard she got scolded by Amela, but it looks like she wasn’t really scolded because she was making such a fuss.”
“…”
“…”
“Hmm, this doesn’t seem to be good either. “I guess I’m not suited for jokes.”
Ardella lowered her gaze to the floor and looked down at Siron and Cernax, who had stiffened, with a grave gaze. Then, with a vague smile that she only showed to Smith, she said,
“Congratulations. “You will probably be the first and last to be released safely after destroying a quarter of the city.”
“How…”
“Safely… “You mean?”
Even after seeing Siron and Cernax looking up at her with quite irreverent faces, Ardella did not erase her faint smile.
“Ah, you’re safe. “Even if the damage is 350 gold coins, the only thing that will end up being free labor until the restoration work is completed, so it’s safe to say that I’ve used up a lifetime’s worth of luck.”
“…”
“…”
When Siron and Kernax heard about what they had done in money, they could not keep their mouths shut at the amount, which was larger than they expected.
“You two will be released tomorrow, so stay here quietly until today. Ah, Cernax.”
“… Yes.”
“Recovery work is work, and don’t forget to do the security captain’s work at the same time.”
“… All right. By the way, Ardella.”
Ardella, who had finished what she had to say and was about to return, was stopped briefly by Cernax’s call.
“Is there anything you want to say?”
“… “I heard you met with Smith.”
“Ah, we met. It’s about you two. Haha.”
Every time Ardella laughed as if it was fun, Siron and Kernax’s expressions quickly hardened.
Despite the obvious difference in social status, Ardella saw the two making no attempt to hide their irreverence, and said with a small smile as if it was just fun.
“It’s truly a good thing that your lover is capable. So that’s it. “Let me borrow Smith for today.”
“W-what is…” ?”
“I mean it literally. Cernax.”
Ardella’s faint smile did not disappear and she disappeared into the darkness from which she had returned.
A clear voice that did not fit the dark hallway was heard.
-Don’t worry. I’ll give it back to you tomorrow.
Ardella snarled with her rotten face at Cernax, who opened her mouth and froze at her meaningful last words, which made Ardella doubt her own ears.
“Call me sister from now on, bitch.”
