Genius Warlock-Episode 112
"Hey, can I come in? miss.”
Oliver asked in front of a small tent..
the answer came back.
"Yes, of course.”
As soon as he heard the answer, Oliver went into the tent..
The inside of the tent couldn't be called clean, even with empty words; black mold was spreading here and there..
A sight that would frighten anyone who grew up well..
However, for some reason, it wasn't enough for Jane to just sit there calmly, and she was happily eating the stew porridge the beggars gave her..
"……Everyone was kind. They even gave me a meal in case I was hungry..”
"okay. Does the food suit your taste??”
"Yeah, that's pretty cool. Rather, here… … Captain?”
"It is usually called head.”
"...I'll just call you Captain. Anyway, does he know you??”
"Well, I just happened to see it. I didn't know I could get help like this.”
"Heh... . Looks like you showed some favors here and there.?”
"yes?”
"Ah, it's just something I learned when I was young. I learned that if you want to live in this world, you must give grace here and there and never forget the grace you have received.."
"What did you learn from Sisterhood??”
"......."
Jane was silent and showed emotional agitation at the same time. However, even for a moment, she seemed a bit resigned..
"iced coffee..… . I too am far away. I said too much that I felt a little uncomfortable... How did you know? I was raised in the Sisterhood.."
"I also heard it earlier..”
"is it so?”
"Yes, surprisingly, people here know a lot..”
"It's really surprising... .. No, is it obvious? No one can be a king, but anyone can be a beggar..”
Jane said something riddle-like and giggled as if it was fun..
However, unlike his smiling appearance, his emotions showed sadness and resignation..
“….If you don't mind, may I tell you something??”
"What is it?”
"Um...I'm sorry, but can you please just tell me??”
"yes?”
"Ah, it's just that it looks so frustrating. From the first time we met. You always think about it every time you speak and suppress your inner feelings... You don't have to do that to me..”
"..…What do you mean?”
"That's just what it says. I think the reason you do that is to gain other people's favor, but I don't really care. also.… I have something to ask you. It may be something important, so I'd like you to answer honestly..”
"......."
Jane didn't answer. She just closed her eyes, but it didn't seem like it was inside..
Her emotions began to fluctuate like a boiling pot.,
Frustration, irritation, anger, and anxiety fought fiercely with emotions such as hope and patience. It's like a state where it wouldn't be strange if it exploded right away.-
"-fuck!!!”
Suddenly Jane shouted with all her might..
“….Fuck! Fuck!! Damn this shit..…!”
To Jane's surprise, he stood up and spewed out all sorts of profanities for three minutes, but Oliver could do nothing but listen quietly..
I wondered if Pinkman on the ground could hear how strong and loud the swearing was, but as time went by and the swearing was over, Jane said, 'Sigh...' .. Sigh… ' I looked down at Oliver, out of breath..
“……Are you okay??”
"Yeah, it's fucking refreshing. For the first time in my life... .. What do you want to ask??”
Jane sat down and asked.
Unlike the first time I sat somewhat casually, I sat cross-legged with my legs spread out, and that posture seemed comfortable..
“..…You said the place to go for help is Sisterhood.?”
"yes. It's an organization for women..”
Jane answered while eating stew. I put the bowl to my mouth and ate it..
"I heard that if you ask for help, she might be in trouble. Is this true??”
Jane chews her food softly. she said, swallowing hard.
"that's right. I'll be honest since you probably only vaguely heard it. It's not the worst, but it's a lesser evil. I owe Sisterhood a big debt. In other words, the leash is caught..”
"is that so?”
"Yes, you can pay off some debt, but more debt cannot be paid off until you die... .. If I receive my father's inheritance without any help, I can pay off the cost of raising him with one large investment. Sisterhood doesn't ask for more than that..”
"Oh, I see.”
"But don't get me wrong. It's not because they're nice. Otherwise, you will rebel and betray. It's kind of like an implied agreement. The right level for mutual satisfaction... .. But if you take on more debt, the story will be different..”
"I don't really understand.”
"Let's call it a subtle pygame. It’s not something that can be simply explained. However, if I ask for help here, I will not only owe them money but also my life, and I will be caught in the act and have to cooperate with them for the rest of my life..”
It's a subtle py game..….
Oliver nodded and thought deeply. At least Jane wasn't lying now..
“……I'm just asking because I'm curious, what happens if I just ignore it? So what if you don't return the favor?.”
“..…Then, my shame will be known to the world..”
"Please ignore me?”
"Sisterhood has safety measures in place to prepare for such things... . I can't say more than this. I'm a shameless woman, but that doesn't mean I have no shame..”
I didn't understand, but I didn't bother to ask..
Not only was it not that curious, but Jane was truly distressed..
“..…ha. But why are you asking that??”
"I wanted to ask what if there was a way to not get help?.”
".…Just kidding?”
Jane asked sincerely. As if he couldn't believe it.
"sorry. I joke badly. Even though I learned it, it was difficult..”
"What on earth is it??”
"Three men were playing poker in a bar. One is a Norse, one is a Kingdom, and the last one is a Landain. These three people-”
“-no. no. How can I not get help from Sisterhood? Is there somewhere you can ask for help? armed?”
"no. I'm just going to go up to the ground and harm the person who is targeting the young lady..”
“.…Stop joking. Because I'm angry.”
"It's not a joke this time, is it? ....Wait.”
Oliver took something out of his arms. It was in the newspaper a few months ago.
"Would you like to read this article??”
".…We saw it together before the crackdown on the Northland coal mines..”
"yes. You said Mr. Duncan was from Pinkman.?”
"yes……."
Jane frowned as if she had a vague sense of something..
"Look at this.”
Oliver showed me a new article. Above the article it was written.
“....This is the content of a hearing regarding excessive suppression of a coal mining town. Actually, we killed too many people with the goal of suppressing them in the initial stage. Even the mother holding her child. But what is this??”
Oliver said while reading the article.
"I'm not sure, but I heard there's talk that some of the people in charge of the suppression will be fired because of this hearing..”
"It's just for show. They either take them out of the field and rehire them as office workers, or let them rest for a few months and then rehire them. It's all formality..”
"Wouldn’t it still feel bad? Employees?”
"That's it... .. That could be possible..”
It was like that. In particular, Cant said that the more talented a person is, the stronger their pride is, and that there are people who think it is humiliating to even follow such a play..
"I'm asking just in case, Mr. Duncan, did you quit your job at Pinkman and go straight to work for Edith??”
"No, I opened my own office before that. Then things didn't work out and I was ruined, and at that time, my father... ah!”
Jane looked surprised as if she realized something..
"Since many of the Pinkmen were unemployed, it seemed like Mr. Duncan was trying to fulfill his youthful dream..”
Jane's expression and emotions were literally chaotic..
“..…Isn't it too much to make such an assumption based on just that??”
"It is said that there is a bar that pink men often go to. Pink thighs. Not long ago, some Pinkmen there were drinking and talking about changing jobs. To a former Pinkman who works for a speculator.”
"......."
"They say that they will treat you better and that you can develop that market because you have a nobleman as your supplier..”
"This is Edith's wife. I've seen it once before.”
Jane laughed..
"How did you find out??”
"I collect information from newspapers, rumors, and conversations and combine them. It is said to be the biggest income of the poor brothers here.."
"under..… . I knew Landa was a fun place, but I didn't know it was this fun..”
"is that so? Anyway, I think he's trying to get some kind of investment by killing the young lady, but he's probably very nervous too. If the young lady is safe, everything will fall. In other words, there is a high possibility that Mr. Duncan is also out there, and if I kill Mr. Duncan at this time, I will be able to eradicate the danger..”
“..…Well, aren't you in danger??”
"In fact, this job itself is dangerous. I'm doing it knowingly..”
"Still, there's no reason to do this.?”
"is that so? Since I was hired to protect the young lady, I thought it would be best to protect her in the best way possible... . Also, the lady taught me various things..”
Jane hesitated and said.
“..…Because I was in a protected position, I had to look good. This is what I learned at Sisterhood..”
"I know. Still, I received help. More than anything......"
"...More than anything? what?”
"I like the young lady. Because it’s pretty.”
Oliver said that the emotions were beautiful, but at that moment, Jane's face turned bright red and she couldn't say anything..
".....By any chance, did I say something wrong??”

"This way. I ran away this way.”
"It's gone. Where on earth - ugh!”
dark night. A back alley as complex as a maze.
As soon as Oliver came to the ground, he started playing tag with several Pinkmen..
Oliver was winning, it wasn't that hard..
As the sun sets, the only people left on the street are the tramps or Pinkman chasing after Jane, so the restrictions on their actions are lifted.,
Although there were many enemies, it was easy for Oliver to determine their locations thanks to his eyes..
Based on this, Oliver just had to run away through the complicated back alleys, attack moderately, and fall back.,
In case of emergency, all you had to do was remove the appearance or presence with ‘Eraser Exit’ or ‘Shade Clock’..
If the pink men miss, they attack again.
"where… .Ugh!”
"It's here!”
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo———!!!
However, it wasn't that easy. This was because the pink men's reaction gradually became faster, and as soon as one person was hit, they immediately took cover and started shooting..
The world became bright with flashing muzzle flames, and Oliver fled again, defending himself with a black shield..
"Chase! Don't miss it!”
‘good. There is still enough quantity.’
I thought as I looked at the emotions in Oliver's arms..
It was given to him by Cant when he asked him to take Jane to the Sisterhood instead of him if he had any problems..
Thanks to this, Oliver was able to make up for his lack of emotions..
When asked how he got it, Cant answered that he was once a problem solver too. He was a very talented person.
[shade clock]
Oliver created a thin, dark cloak and hid in the deepest, darkest darkness..
Then, I created a Hate Bullet on the minion, and after a while, I unleashed it on the pink men coming from both sides..
The Pink Men were each carrying a lantern, so they could be seen from far away, but the Minion cleverly approached from a square angle and started spitting out Hate Bullets..
Pfft-! Pfft-! Pfft-! Pfft-!
Pinkman falls down one by one with each bullet..
However, unlike the gangsters, Pinkman responded immediately, and the personnel following him spotted the minions and shot them..
Doo doo doo doo! pop! Wow!!!!
Minion disappears screaming.
Oliver meanwhile prepared to attack. That was right then..
"There it is!”
Two pink men with goggles on their eyes pointed at Oliver and shouted..
Those goggles also had magical power, and they seemed to have a navigation function..
The pink men fired their guns at everyone, but Oliver deployed black shields in both directions..
Ta-da-da-da-da-da-dang——! Bang! Bang! Ta-da-da-da-da-da-dan.———!
Lead bullet hitting the shield.
The power of each shot was low, but as the number increased, it was threatening enough, but it was not easy to move..
"Everyone get out of the way!”
A Pinkman with an unusual gun appears, pushing his colleagues..
The gun he was carrying was similar in shape to a shotgun, but the difference was that there was a test tube stuck in the charging handle, and inside the test tube was a substance that was tinged with magical power..
Although he didn't know the details, Oliver instinctively felt that it was a very dangerous item..
"Burn.”
With those words, Pinkman fired his gun..
The substance in the test tube entered the gun, and a huge fireball flew out of the gun, engulfing not only Oliver but also the surrounding area..
It was a pretty good strategy..
After tying them up with regular firearms, then finishing them off with powerful heavy weapons?.
The Pink Men must have thought this was the end, so they stopped shooting.,
Oliver exploded the Black Marble and the Black Shield, expelling the flames from the impact, and then extended the Shadow Tentacles in all directions to attack Pinkman in an area..
Although it was an area attack, it was just a quick stab and slash with the shadow tentacles..
However, the effect was excellent, but at that moment, as many as a dozen Pink Men fell..
It couldn't be said that the amount of emotion consumed was low, but considering the number of enemies defeated, it was extremely efficient, and at this rate, even if Duncan appeared, it seemed like he could easily deal with him..
It was then.
Something approached with frightening speed and lunged at Oliver, using the wall as a stepping stone..
It was Duncan..
Parkan—————!!!
A unique ㅓ-shaped stick loaded with magic struck Oliver..
Due to the impact, Oliver was pushed as if he was flying to the side.,
Fortunately, there was no damage as three layers of black shield were deployed at the same time. Although two of the three shields were tragically shattered..
As expected, Druid Scott... .. No, he was stronger than that, he said as he radiated a vast amount of magical energy from his entire body..
"I'm good at it?”
"Thank you for a good look. I decided to pay more attention to my shield while fighting Mr. Scott..”
Oliver answered, putting a black suit on himself and the quarter staff..
