Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 136

It's a tight world..

Because it is not a fantasy world of dreams and romance, but a reality fantasy, there are many monsters, many crazy people, and many people who are tormented by such people and have difficulty making a living..

Considering that there are many people who die young without ever having a chance to hold a sword in their lives, it may be more common than you think for people to become thieves or robbers if they meet some adverse conditions..

still. Still.

It is also a place where if you grit your teeth and look for it, you will find a way to make a living. After all, that’s what places where people live are all about. Among the many methods, these guys have simply chosen the method of capturing and selling other people who, unlike themselves, are living well or trying to live well..

I mean, these are people who have no room for extenuating circumstances..

"And I just decided to kill them all.!"

In a world where everything but my salary goes up, life as a livestock slave who had to live on a meager salary was tiring and difficult, and I was forced to change jobs to a slave with no human rights? At the very least, if the slave business was legal in ETISEL and these guys played within the bounds of the law, we would have left them alone. This is unforgivable..

"Where on earth did that crazy guy come from?!"

"crossbow! Take the crossbow...!"

When they saw a bandit in the distance shouting with a crossbow and turning around, getting hit by an arrow shot by Asilier from the tower and following the leader in Hankyu, their movements began to become more urgent..

"You're not fucking alone! An arrow flew from the tower!"

"Wait, then the captain..."

I understand that it's urgent, but no matter how far away it is from me, if I turn a blind eye, I'll use it. I don't know what confidence I have when each time I swing my sword, one person dies..

"It's already gone! I will be looking after your place in the afterlife, so quickly follow me and help me.!"

"Wow!"

There is no system, no purpose. Those who sold others just to survive, act according to their nature as soon as their leader disappears in a sudden attack..

Whether there are 30 or 40 of them, they are just a nuisance and no threat..

While I was harvesting the heads of the thieves like a farmer cutting down rice, the five thieves gathered together and formed a square to fight against me. The problem is that what they are holding is not a shield, but a bunch of plates that can barely even imitate a shield. The only real shield is the one held by the guy in the middle..

"What? Were there any deserters? I made it in a rough and rough way.?"

"who are you! Who suddenly appears and does something like this?!"

The word opposition means cancellation. I think it's just a struggle to survive somehow..

Does who I am matter here? If it's really important, you should catch it, cut off its arms and legs, and ask about it. Even the actions of the guy who spoke out while holding the most worthy of a shield seemed to me to be nothing more than an escape from reality..

"I don't introduce myself when I'm killing everyone. It's meaningless?"

"After suddenly committing massacre!! You're saying things like that!! Are you doing this knowing who we are? You think you can be safe if you kill us all?! The bandits around here are united! As soon as news of your attack spreads, dozens of bandits will rush in to kill you! Even the nobles who look after us will try to catch and kill you.!"

her. It's a union. There are so many different topics on the topic of thieves. Still, I thought it was amazing that he voluntarily shared information that wasn't in the document, so I decided to answer at least one of his questions..

"You are a friend with less learning ability.!"

"what...?"

"Don't you feel anything when you see that I killed your captain as soon as I got here??"

Except for the one who was talking, the rest of the thieves just glared at me with questioning expressions, as if they didn't really understand. As I was looking at that, I suddenly became curious as to whether I could create fear in them, so I smiled as evil as I could and answered..

"When dealing with a beggar, I hit the head first. So, who did you kill first before attacking you as a group??"

"...Ugh, ugh. No, that's ridiculous...."

"Of course it makes sense.!"

The complexion of the guy who was smart enough to take the baton and smart enough to see my skills and decide that I should somehow figure out how to make a living with words began to turn pale..

"The slave trade that is your sponsor has been completely wiped out. Not only the top, but also the nobles who supported the top are on the verge of political collapse. Now that your curiosity has been answered, let’s go.!"

"Uh, where?"

"Of course it's hell!"

There is no way that a sloppy defense of untrained thieves would work against me who can even kick down an iron door and crush it..

-Kwaang!

"Wow!"

I raised my magic power to the fullest and kicked the guy in the middle of the square, who was shaking precariously just by running towards me, and he was sent flying about 2 meters away. In the meantime, I swung my fists in anticipation of the guys on both sides stabbing me, but I guess I overestimated them too much, so there was no counterattack..

Seeing that the two guys who had been hit by the swinging fist were losing their breath, the other two guys threw down the boards and started running away..

"Oh, it's a monster!"

"Wow!"

Asilier's arrow, aimed precisely at the vital point, mercilessly takes the lives of those two men..

"what. Is it the end??"

I looked around and saw nothing but dead bodies. While I was looking around to see if there was anything else within my field of vision, Asilier came down from the tower and came to my side..

"What are you looking for so much??"

"No, I thought they were all already dead.."

"Either die or run away. The humans who were standing guard when we came in ran away without even looking back.?"

"Hehe... your ability to judge situations is amazing.."

As I walked towards the thief who had been kicked by me from a distance, I saw him holding a shield with both hands and panting with his eyes wide open. Looking closely, it wasn't that he didn't miss the shield, but his arm was broken and his ribs were broken, so he couldn't move and looked like he was pressed against the shield..

"hey. I think about five of them ran away. Will they try to get help from the thieves' union you mentioned earlier, or will they just run away without looking back??"

"Fuck... get out....!"

"okay? If you answered, I was going to give you a potion to fix your broken arm and ribs. Don't if you don't like it"

"what?! Come on, sleep...!"

Since the situation did not need to be extreme enough to capture and torture a man who did not want to talk, I cut off his head without hesitation..

Asilier, who had been quietly looking at him while she was cleaning the blade and sheathing it because it seemed like there were no enemies around, tilted her head and said..

"I guess it wouldn't have been a bad idea to keep him alive and find out some information.?"

"Anyway, I thought that if I told the spirits, they would be able to find out the location of the bandits in the forest, so I just killed them. It would be a shame if they kept it alive for no reason and then sold it to someone else to make a living.."

Low-level adventurers who are no different from village gangsters and such still have room for rehabilitation, but those who hunt and sell people are not subjects of negotiation by my standards..

"Then he tried to give me a potion if I answered.?"

"I said I would give you a potion, but I didn't say I wouldn't kill you. Tried to cure and kill."

"That's right... it's torture suitable for those who capture innocent people and sell them off.."

"of course."

Still, since one base was devastated, we decided to rob the pockets of the dead guys and the tower where the leader was, so we acted quickly..

To be honest, the condition of these guys' equipment was better than I expected, so contrary to my concerns that they had invested most of the money they earned from trading with slave traders into equipment, the chest I found under the leader's bed contained a considerable amount of silver coins..

"I guess it would be about one gold coin? It doesn't seem like the quality is that great, but there are three potions.."

"The scale is large... but he may have been quite a big name among the thieves.."

"I'm glad we had this connection and were able to uproot the roots.."

There was other pretty useful equipment, but I decided to give up on taking it with me. In this case, it would have been great to have an inventory like in the game, but bags with storage magic were so terribly expensive that we didn't have any in our possession..

It's really, really attractive that all the items that are worthy of military service can fit into a pouch the size of my fist, but if the price is 20 gold coins, I'm really discouraged..

"ah. Where does the bag with the storage magic not fall out?."

"Phew."

"What is so funny about this pure wind that makes you laugh? teacher?"

"no. Suddenly I remembered the old days."

"old thoughts?"

I asked Asilier if there was a funny story about someone trying to find a bag with a storage magic, and surprisingly, what came out of Asilier's mouth was a memory she shared with me..

"The day I first met L.D. The thieves went on a rampage when they saw that sword, which was nothing, and said it was a magic sword.."

"Ah, then. that's right. It was like that."

"At that time, when I saw the people making a fuss about the magic sword, I thought to myself what kind of idiot was dropping the magic sword.."

"Hehe. Honestly, I thought that too.."

Looking back on even that very tense moment, it becomes a memory. Time flies when the day comes when you feel this way. I started to feel proud of myself for living hard, as well as my growth..

At that moment, Asilier suppressed her laughter and made a remark that destroyed my pride..

"But now that L.D. suddenly said that, it seemed like they overlapped.."

"......"

It was such a stupid thing that I couldn't even refute, so the smile that was trying to spread across my face as I looked back on the memory and felt proud of myself disappeared..
