Chapter 932 – Ep.930 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
The evening that Genoa and Agatha visited.
In order to have dinner together, our group rented the first floor of the inn where Marvius and his group were staying.
Given the situation, it was best to avoid doing anything that would draw attention as much as possible, but in this case, since there were demons in our group, the inn owner was busy keeping an eye out for them.
Of course, for each other’s sake, I had Rita give the innkeeper a gold coin and tell him to stay out until tomorrow.
One gold coin.
Since this was the amount of money that could be earned by renting all the rooms in this inn for a week with meals, the innkeeper bowed her head so much that the top of her head touched the floor and left.
As a result.
“How can no one in the group know how to cook properly?”
The owner has left, but is there any chance for the workers to remain?
For that reason, I grabbed a knife and a ladle for the first time in a long time for my companions who did not even know the basics of cooking.
At best, it’s all about a simple stew, a sandwich made with freshly baked bread and filling, and finally, egg rolls lightly sprinkled with salt.
“If you’re hungry, you can go out and buy more later. We don’t have much to prepare, but I hope it suits everyone’s taste.”
“Isn’t the smell a joke?”
“What is this bright yellow thing?”
“… “It was my first time seeing a man cook.”
“As expected, my husband is truly the perfect example of an all-round handsome man.”
As I began to place the plates on the table, which I had stacked neatly on the tray using a trick from my days as a receptionist, quite unfamiliar compliments came out here and there from my companions who had been shining their eyes for a while.
“… !!”
“W-what is this?!”
“Disciple, go and make another one.”
“It’s fluffy and light, yet salty, and has a slightly sweet finish…”
And the most popular menu of the day was egg rolls.
Although no other seasonings such as tuna fish sauce were added, the egg was so fresh that it was only salted, but it received great reviews due to its unique texture.
“… But is this right?”
Usually, they would fight to put one more thing in my mouth, but after tasting the egg rolls, they had no choice but to push me back into the kitchen.
‘Seeing as how even Rita remained silent, it looks like she really hit it off.’
It was just a slightly well-dried egg roll for me to eat, but if they liked it, I could tolerate this level of trouble.
**
“Are you really going to go in?”
“Sure. “Even though I have two mouths, one above and one below, I am a woman of integrity who always keeps my words.”
Seeing her proudly casting her sex drip, I thought that there would be no use in stopping her, so I decided not to dissuade her any further.
No one threatened him with a knife, but he said he would go in on his own, so what could you do?
After a pleasant meal, the rest of the group, who were drinking beer or fruit wine, seemed to have the same thoughts as me, and sipped their drinks while looking at Agatha, who was talking about going into the Mimic case herself, like she was crazy.
Just one person.
“Are you saying he is also an apostate? “It’s quite surprising that a person who once served God most closely would want to covet the truth.”
“… Giselle? “Just drink your milk quietly.”
“Yes.”
Giselle, who was the only one who was anxious because she couldn’t enter the Mimic case, looked at Agatha like she was someone special.
“Rita.”
[ Yes. Master. ]
Perhaps because she was upset that I had quietly followed the trend of women sending me out to the kitchen, Rita brought a Mimic case that she had unpacked more carefully and quickly than usual.
“Something like tentacles will come out and wrap around you, but don’t be too surprised.”
“I’ve heard enough explanations, so don’t worry.”
“No, I wasn’t really worried.”
“Hehe, you must be embarrassed.”
They say that the type of people you should avoid the most are those who have nothing to lose, and after experiencing it myself, I immediately understood why they said that.
“I will take this opportunity to prove that my mental strength is better than anyone else here──”
Sigh!
“… What?!”
Gulp.
The smug expression on his face was so annoying that I suddenly pressed the button on the Mimic case, but I felt like I heard a sound that I shouldn’t have heard… It must be an illusion, right?
“So let me briefly explain for those who don’t know why this happened.”
I briefly told Marvius and the rest of the party the reason for Agatha’s crazy behavior.
“Honey, to be honest, I think the same thing as that guy Agatha. “No matter how horrible the inside of that bag is, it’s not more scary than death.”
“Madam, I may be presumptuous, but may I say something?”
“Of course. “Don’t worry about it and just give it a try.”
Marvius, who was very pleased with the twins and other children from the Demon Continent who called me ‘Big Master’, readily allowed Ruel to speak.
“If you are a living person, you cannot help but instinctively fear death. But that may not be the case for everyone.”
“Hmm, that’s right. Big Nu… “For no one I know was afraid of death.”
Ruel nodded his head and continued.
“It is as you said. “Death is certainly scary, but depending on the situation, there can be an even greater fear.”
“… “Do you mean that bag to you?”
“That’s right. Inside is an abyss of infinite solitude. Even if I want to die, I can’t even die… “It is truly a scary place.”
“When someone as strong as you warns me like that, I’m a little interested.”
Marvius glances this way.
“It’s not possible.”
“… “You haven’t said anything yet?”
“You don’t have to say it because it’s written all over your face.”
Normally, if someone scares me that much, the normal reaction would be to turn away, even if it feels uncomfortable.
I don’t know why the women around me are so curious.
“If you want to get acquainted, I will allow you to have a little experience as long as Agatha is fine when she comes out.”
“Hmm… Well, if it’s under those conditions.”
Only then did Marvius put his pouting lips back.
“My dear.”
“Yes. Princess.”
Marvius, whose expression relaxed, opened his mouth again.
“The priests. “There’s no need to take us to Mallingta together, right?”
“… ?”
When I tilted my head, Marvius quickly spoke.
“So, if you’re not going to take them anyway, let’s just help them cross the border and then split up.”
“… Are you saying you want to use it as bait?”
“If I put it bluntly, that’s true.”
Her experiences in the system have clearly had a great influence on her, as she casually suggests ideas out of her mouth that she would never have thought of in her past.
“Of course, I am not suggesting that we force it. “After contacting them to some extent, if you decide that you will not be able to cross the border on your own, then make a suggestion.”
“It certainly seems like a good opinion. “Mr.
Melbourne, who rarely intervened, carefully whispered in my ear.
“If you can’t cross the border on your own, you’ll just wither and die here. So, they probably feel that they have received a great favor from their husband just by helping them cross the border.”
“…”
The worry was short-lived.
“I will.”
“It’s a good choice.”
In some ways, it may seem very cruel to save people to use as bait, but in reality, it is just a very reasonable transaction that does not harm anyone.
Of course, as Melbourne said, this only happens if the priests who are hiding somewhere here cannot cross the border on their own.
“Well, I’ll be leaving tomorrow evening at the latest, so make sure everyone rests comfortably until then.”
I grabbed my Mimic case and got up, and Mariel followed me, getting up from her chair and coming over, grabbing a bottle of fruit wine.
“My dear?”
“Yes?”
I was about to leave the inn to cool off and quickly lie down on the bed, but when I heard Marvius’ call from behind, I stopped for a moment and turned my head.
“Well, when will Agatha be released?”
Marvius glances at the bag he is holding, not me.
“Is that why you want to go in?”
“Hmm! Uh, it’s just for the sake of fairness.”
“You know that’s a very contradictory answer, right? Those who go in here have to stay locked up for at least five days.”
“Hmm…”
Her cheeks are slightly red.
That reaction was so cute that I smiled and turned around.
“I’ll release you as soon as the sun rises tomorrow, so you don’t have to worry.”
It was only half a day at most, which was a reasonable amount of time considering that Ruel had been locked up for an entire day.
‘… Well, time doesn’t mean much when the person involved doesn’t know that.’
