Chapter 59 – Chapter 59 – It Was a Big Deal
When I turned around, a white-bearded man approached me and was staring at me with his arms crossed.
He had a stern expression on his face that made it impossible to think of him as a man who had been smiling benevolently until now.
I immediately took out the cocking stick.
“How did this happen? Why did you keep her tied up and put it in her box?”
“Oh, I see there is some misunderstanding… “
“Don’t talk back!”
I aimed at the man with my cockstick. But the man did not blink an eye.
“So, what are you planning to do?”
“Of course I have to tell the guards here!”
“Then do you know who is in trouble?”
“It must be you, do you say that?”
The man who heard me shook his head and sighed heavily.
“I’m in trouble if you call the guards, but it’s her who gets in the most trouble.”
What is this sound? Calling the guards will put this woman in trouble?
“Do you think that makes sense?”
“Listen. Those women are originally wanderers who can’t come into this city. Poor people who want to start a new life but are abandoned and unable to do so.”
For a moment, Lily came into my mind.
“… Tell me more.”
“We are in the business of sneaking those poor people into the city. This is our business.”
“You have such a business? Are you kidding me?”
“Why not? There are plenty of people who want to start a new life even with money. The woman… I would have given you quite a bit of money. She says that she wanted to come to this city.”
“Then if I call the guards… “
“She’s me. She’ll get out of there in no time, even if she’s punished, but if she’s lucky, she’ll be banished, and if she’s unlucky, she’ll end up in prison.”
Rather, my words were blocked by the man’s unobstructed words.
If the man’s words are true, is calling the guards the right choice?
What robs people like Lily of a chance at a new life?
As I stayed still, the man continued.
“Well, it’s not strange that you were surprised. It’s a behind-the-scenes transaction, so few people know about it. And… “
“And?”
“Didn’t you also say that there are people you want to bring into the city? We can get her into her city.”
Well, bringing in Lily wouldn’t be a problem if you could bring in people who were in a similar situation to Lily.
“Now, I’m going to attribute this to my mistake for not explaining it properly, so why don’t we become partners again? Wouldn’t it be nice to help each other, heh heh!”
The man held out his hand to me. If you hold this hand, you can bring Lily into the city.
The moment I tried to hold his hand as if possessed by something,
Elizabeth hit my wrist hard with the back of her sword.
“Ouch! Elizabeth! It’s dangerous!”
“You can’t listen to him!”
The man’s expression instantly hardened at Elizabeth’s words.
“Oh, what confidence does that woman warrior over there have in interfering with man-to-man negotiations?”
“Do not lie.”
Elizabeth glared at the man with fearful eyes she had never seen before.
“Yes, as you said, we can do the work of bringing vagrants into the city. I don’t really care if there’s any back-and-forth like that, but!”
Elizabeth pointed her finger at the woman lying on the floor.
“Then why are you tying me like a slave like that! It’s strange no matter who sees it!”
“Oh, that’s because it’s difficult to move because it’s cramped inside the box.”
“It is a lie.”
Isha, who was looking at the woman’s condition, stood up and said.
“I just looked, and there are many signs that these people have been sexually abused. A swollen buttocks, a torn vagina and teeth marks on the chest… Everyone is a rape victim.”
“Really?”
When I asked, Isha nodded and walked towards me.
“In addition, there are signs of a foreign object inserted into her anus. There were also traces of semen coming out of the anus. After all, they were moving rape victims into boxes.”
“Don’t you think it would rather move the victim to the city for protection?”
At the man’s words, Isha laughed incredulously.
“Besides, undiluted semen flowed from her genitals. It was not long before all the abuse had taken place.”
“That talk… “
I looked at Isha and the man alternately. The two were staring at each other like they were going to kill each other.
“… Lady, you are very observant.”
“What were you trying to do by bringing rape victims into the city?”
“Do I need to inform you?”
The atmosphere suddenly froze. Elizabeth took out the knife and checked the condition of the blade, and Isha took out some potions and made a small magic circle on her fingertips.
“Unlike their pretty faces, they are fierce women.”
“I’m not happy at all when I hear compliments from someone like you, right?”
“Why don’t you leave that man and come to me? I could be more capable and more happy.”
“Stop talking dirty and go away.”
While I was still, the white-bearded man and our party members exchanged cold words.
In the meantime, after I had judged the situation, I grabbed the stick tightly.
“Okay… I understand everything now.”
“What do you think?”
“You are a human trafficker.”
“It’s not good to slander people like that.”
“You’re a rape victim, or you’re going to kidnap a woman on the road and sell her as a sex slave. In the meantime, he couldn’t resist his sexual desire and raped the kidnapped people.”
I wondered if the man’s expression changed at my words,
“Poop… Pooh… Fuhahaha!!!”
He immediately burst out laughing.
“What is so fun about! Are you still going to say it’s a misunderstanding!?”
“No no. It fit so well. It’s pretty amazing.”
The man wiped his face once and told us.
“Knowing that, what can you guys do?”
“Of course you should call the guards… “
“Here?”
As the man snapped his fingers, large men hiding in the alleys appeared.
The giants with weapons were different from the bullies I had seen before. It feels like I’ll be fucked even if I get hit by just one.
“They are friends who help me with my work.”
Men came to us, folding their hands. I gulped.
“What are you going to do to us with just a stick of wood? With two women who don’t seem to be able to fight properly?”
The white-bearded man laughed at me. While I was still staring at the man without saying anything, the man continued.
“If you say you’ll help us even now, I promise you no harm. Let your comrades into the city too.”
“What if you don’t like it?”
“Do you think we who transport sex slaves would find it difficult to move a body or two? They die and are thrown away without anyone noticing. There’s no use in shouting It’s an alley deep inside the original body, so you won’t even hear it.”
It is an irresistible condition. No matter how you look at it, it’s impossible for us to defeat those giants. Besides, if you can keep your mouth shut, you can bring Lily into the city right away.
If that happens, our party will be complete again, and we will be able to do other things or recruit new party members. While keeping everyone safe.
But…
“I’m sorry. There is no negotiation.”
I spat at the white-bearded man.
“Even if it means dying, I have no intention of interfering in your dirty work. And I don’t want to go over without reporting these dirty things.”
“Are you going to die in the end… You are so ignorant too.”
“Elizabeth, Isha. Sorry. Our adventure might end here.”
“No, it’s okay. I would have made that decision too.”
“I’m ready to listen to my master’s orders at any time.”
I immediately pulled down my pants and took out a pepper calibur. I didn’t want to take this out.
“Puhh… What is that monstrous weapon?”
“If you look down on me like that, you’ll get a serious nose injury.”
The red pepper caliber shone incomparably longer and sharper than before. As he was in danger of dying, his concentration seemed to be at its peak.
“Okay, then whatever you want… “
The white-bearded man took an ax from the giant next to him and strode towards me.
In a desperate moment, I closed my eyes and concentrated on my breathing.
We won’t be able to beat these guys here. At best, it will end at the level of buying time.
At least in the meantime, I can only hope that someone will discover this situation by chance…
Thinking so, the moment I was preparing for the last stand, a thumping sound came from one of the boxes.
“What?”
The white-bearded man glared at the giants around him.
“You didn’t tie it up properly? Can’t you even handle this level of work properly?”
“Sin, sorry! Older brother!”
“Leave it. I’ll have to check it out.”
The white-bearded man left me and strode towards the box. All the while, the box continued to thump and ring.
“Where, how did you tie the girl up… “
Saying that, the man opened the box.
At that moment, one of his fists reached out from inside the box and struck the man in the face.
“Keuouk!”
The man screamed and grabbed his face. While I was dumbfounded, a woman who had been inside the box whimpered and got out of the box.
“Ah, that’s embarrassing… “
I couldn’t help but be surprised when I checked the woman’s voice and face.
“Lily!?”
