episode_0012

I woke up to the warm morning sunlight.

I was greeted by the sight of cute Laura sleeping peacefully in my arms.

The first morning in Franca feels good from the start.

Last night, Laura tried to sleep on the floor because she was a slave, but of course I objected as soon as I heard that.

I ordered Laura to lie down next to me and we both covered ourselves with the same blanket.

She felt awkward at first, but she fell asleep before me and unconsciously snuggled into my arms.

It was so cute to see her talking in her sleep in words I couldn’t understand and hugging me tightly, so I watched for a while and then fell asleep.

‘Let’s take a quick look at my condition while Laura sleeps.’

I used the analysis skill on myself while hugging Laura.

The level only increased by 2 to 12, and I saw a special point that I had never seen before.

Reading the description, it says that points are given every time the level increases by 10, and that a specific status can be permanently increased by 1.

I immediately reopened the status window and found all the statuses waiting for my choice.

‘What would be better?’

Honestly, I’m really worried. There is no status that is unimportant.

However, after thinking about it a little more, I think it would be better to post something that can never be improved with effort.

Strength, endurance, and agility can be improved through consistent exercise, and health can also be improved through exercise unless it is a genetic problem.

However, magical power is not a status that falls into that category.

The reason I am so confident is because of the explanation of each status.

There is an explanation that the rest of the status can be raised through training, but the only explanation is that magical power is innate.

In other words, magical power cannot become stronger than it was born with.

So, is it a good idea to increase horsepower?

You can’t hastily invest precious special points when you don’t even know the profession of wizard exists in the first place.

‘I forgot to ask the receptionist about wizards yesterday. For now, let’s not touch the special points.’

Having decided on a policy for special points, I opened the skill window and looked at the skill level.

There is no need to look at analysis skills, and I did not have any experience in yesterday’s battle that would raise the skill level of pain tolerance or evasion.

Skipping the non-combat skills that did not change, I looked at the combat skills and found that the skill level of quick aiming had risen to 3 and the skill level of gun shooting had risen to 2.

The remaining skill levels of suppressive shooting and high-speed reloading remained the same.

Suppressive fire doesn’t seem to have improved because goblins are weak demons and die right away, and I think high-speed reloading will improve with more practice.

‘I’d like to acquire other skills, but there’s no news yet. I wonder if there is a need to learn swordsmanship when you have a gun. ah! Let’s go to the shooting range. Usually, when you play a game, you can learn skills or raise your skill level there.’

Instead of carrying out the request today, I decided to spend time at the shooting range.

If I were to summarize what I would do today, I would collect information about the wizard, take the rusty sword to the blacksmith for repair, and train at the shooting range.

“Umm… Rebecca, did you sleep well?”

Laura opened her eyes just after I had finished gathering my thoughts.

The way he looks at me with a slightly blank expression and says good morning is really lovely.

“Yes. Did you sleep well too?”

“Yes, Rebecca. Thanks to you, I was able to sleep comfortably. Thank you.”

“Then will you give me a kiss? I want you to kiss me every morning.”

When I asked Laura while stroking her cheek, she smiled brightly.

Then he cupped my face in his soft hands and kissed me.

Unlike the one I had in the shower room yesterday, it was a kiss filled with a lot of pure heart.

It’s so nice to have such a pretty and cute person kiss me in the morning.

I’m so happy that I can’t believe it hasn’t even been 24 hours since I was with Laura.

“We will serve you like this every morning, just as Rebecca wants.”

“Thank you.”

I stroked Laura’s hair and kissed her forehead, then stood up.

After washing up and changing clothes, we went to the restaurant.

I ate so much meat yesterday that I still felt full, so I had a quick breakfast and went down to the first floor.

As expected, there were a lot of people in the Adventurer’s Guild at this time.

Naturally, I turned to the dwarf receptionist, and in front of her, the three adventurers were creating a fairly hostile atmosphere.

The lion tribe adventurer party, consisting of one man and two women, seemed to be in a bad mood since morning, for some unknown reason.

Well, it’s not my business and the situation isn’t serious, so there’s no need to intervene, but I’m curious as to why, so I’ll just watch.

“I’m going crazy, really! Why can’t we receive consolation money?”

“Consolation money is paid only to family members or party members who are not disqualified. I can’t give it to you just because you were a party member.”

The receptionist was not at all discouraged by the lion tribe adventurers glaring at her.

I guess it didn’t take a day or two to deal with those facts.

As expected, service jobs seem difficult.

“Disqualification? It’s terrible. No, you know very well that we were Venessa’s true comrades. And the will here clearly states that he gives us all of his remaining assets! Why can’t I recognize that my eye is sprained?”

“The will was not authentic according to the results of the analysis. Moreover, the investigation into Mr. Venessa has not yet been completed, so we cannot just give out consolation money or inheritance to those who are disqualified.”

“Ah! Fuck! What a fucking idiot. Brother, I got the money, but ask which bastard brought Vanessa’s pendant.”

Among the women who had left the work to the man and had their arms crossed behind him, the one with short hair and an angry appearance ended up swearing.

“Why do you want to know that?”

“Well, I just wanted to say thank you. Why can’t I say hello because I have grounds for disqualification?”

This time, a long-haired, mean-looking woman spoke.

You don’t seem grateful at all?

“Please wait a moment. I need to check the rules.”

The receptionist went into the office for a moment, talked to a person who appeared to be a superior for a few minutes, and then returned to her seat.

The receptionist’s expression was very unpleasant. Did he get scolded by his superiors?

“According to the regulations, I can tell you that. However, please specify that if you commit illegal acts such as threats or retaliation, you may be expelled from the guild and subject to legal punishment.”

“So who is it?”

“The person over there.”

I understand why the receptionist’s expression is not good.

I guess she didn’t want to tell those guys about me.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of those three people, I think it was worth it.

“ya! She was very beautiful. I didn’t even know it was happening and I was ready to take a hit.”

The scary and ignorant-looking man looked down at me and gave me a sinister look.

He reached out his hand as if he really wanted to touch my beautiful breasts, but I immediately pushed his dirty hand away.

“Don’t be rude and just tell me what you want.”

“Hey! You took Venesa’s magic sword as a trophy, right? That fire-breathing thing. If you don’t want that pretty face to be a dick, you’d better be honest.”

The short-haired bitch took out a dagger and asked in a cheesy tone.

I don’t know why these characters make idiotic expressions while licking the blade of a fake blade with their tongue.

By the way, it looks like they want the magic sword I’m giving Laura as a gift, but there’s no way!

“I heard that the guild’s rule is that whoever gets the loot is the owner. Do you guys want to break that? Well, there is a saying that you play like you look.”

“The loot is damn good. It’s ours, so give it to us right now!”

This time the long-haired bitch screamed.

Did you put a megaphone in your mouth? It’s so noisy.

“Why is it yours? Those bastards who have grounds for disqualification that are so trashy that they even brought fake wills, they just keep talking dirty. Stop talking like shit and get out of here!”

In the past, I personally demonstrated actions that I would have been satisfied with imagining.

The women must have felt threatened by the words I shouted with my eyes wide open, so they closed their loud mouths, but the atmosphere was still not good.

“Now, now. Calm down and listen to me. Since there seems to be a misunderstanding between us, how about we resolve it through dialogue? I will buy the alcohol.”

It looks like the guy is anxious to fuck me and Laura.

You pretend to be friendly while wearing a grumpy smile that doesn’t suit you.

“What are you drinking in the morning? We’re busy, so the three of us can drink as much as we want.”

I roughly slapped away the hand of the man who came to touch my buttocks and turned my back, completely ignoring his distorted, ugly face.

However, I was startled by the sound of Laura’s scream coming soon and turned around.

A man was pulling Laura’s hair.

“Slave year is so damn sexy. Hey, let’s just have a drink. There is no benefit in being expensive.”

“Fuck you!”

I don’t know anything else, but I have to kill that piece of trash.

I lifted the chair next to me and hit the bastard’s head and kicked his stumbling prick as hard as I could.

I heard something explode and the asshole was foaming at the mouth, but it didn’t matter.

It would be a great disaster for the world for a fucking bastard like that to rip off his offspring, so he should be nipped in the bud in advance.

“Oppa, are you really an asshole? It’s a shame to get hit by a bitch like that. And you fucking bitch! Why make someone else’s lover a eunuch and don’t think about going home gracefully.”

The short-haired bitch swung a dagger at me before I killed her brother.

I stayed still, trusting my magic armor, but suddenly Laura pulled me to the side.

Laura took a reasonably thick table and laid it on its side to provide cover, and soon after, she heard the sound of several bullets hitting.

No, crazy! The shield isn’t working, right? Why?

I hurriedly came out and looked at Laura’s body, but fortunately, nothing was hit.

“Rebecca, the magic shield does not work between humans.”

“What? Is there such a strange condition?”

“Yes. Unlike Rebecca’s hometown, it’s common knowledge in the empire, so I don’t think I could tell either me or the clerk. I’m really sorry.”

Laura bowed her head in front of me and apologized.

This is a world I created, so I don’t know why there is so much common sense that I don’t know.

If I had known this would happen, I would have made all the detailed settings for magic, even if it was annoying.

If I had spent half the time setting up races and biomes, I wouldn’t have known anything about magic.

Now I wonder why I was so obsessed with that setting.

“No, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would have died. Then it’s time for self-defense.”

“Yes, Rebecca. Just give the command.”

Laura took out her magic pistol faster than me.

Laura’s anger toward the adventurers who tried to kill me was so great that I could feel it right through my skin.

“Just try to live for now. After we get the compensation, we will decide whether to kill or live.”

After stroking Laura’s head once, I pulled the trigger of my magic pistol, aiming at the legs of the short-haired bitch who was approaching.

The magic bullet hit exactly where I aimed, but the short-haired bitch ran towards me with a big smile on her face.

It feels like I’ve taken some kind of drug to rush forward without feeling any pain.

The weakling bitch swung her dagger at me several times, but I didn’t panic and did my best to dodge, widening the distance and carefully planting the remaining five magical bullets in the chamber into her body.

The short-haired bitch with holes in her arms and legs was lying ugly at my feet, struggling.

Normally, I would have died if I did that, but I don’t know if it was because I was an adventurer or because I was a drug addict, but I didn’t die.

Oh, your suppressive shooting skill level just went up? It’s kind of funny because he got stronger thanks to idiots rather than training or combat.

“Something that isn’t a big deal bothers people.”

I lay down and stomped on the cursing short-haired bitch’s wounds, forcing her to use her mouth for something else.

I feel like my ears are clearing because I hear a loud scream instead of a double cry.

The people watching around me took a step back as I laughed heartily while torturing this bitch.

Guys, I’m not crazy. Don’t misunderstand.

“Rebecca, I caught you alive as you ordered.”

Meanwhile, Laura came after subduing the long-haired bitch.

Laura dragged the long-haired bitch, who was bleeding profusely, by her hair.

From the looks of it, it looks like he wasn’t shot but rather got hit by Laura’s fist.

Maybe people backed off when they saw Laura and not me.

“Then can I just extort the money now?”

Laura was more proactive than me.

After all, he’s a former bounty hunter! I heard you are very quick when it comes to money issues.

“Of course. Also, find out why you want that sword so much. Let’s take her to a quiet place and have a conversation.”

“Rebecca, please take this. When those people die, the Knights will capture Rebecca. It would be difficult if life became tiring because of people like that. And I’m sorry. You suffer for no reason because of me.”

The dwarf receptionist gave me two recovery potions and two ropes.

No, you weren’t in a position to stop it, were you? Anyway, thank you for taking care of me.

“No. I’m sure they would have crashed for the loot anyway. Don’t worry. I will never do anything that will get the drivers scolded.”

Laura and I abandoned the man, who had already lost the meaning of life and was crying, and gave recovery potions to the crazy bitches we had subdued with our own hands and tied them up with rope.

And I took them to a dark place to have a ‘constructive conversation’ together.
