I took Rosellnia into the alley.

Looking at Beris Barnes, who was blocking the attack on the second floor, he did not look like the owner of the castle.

He looked like a delinquent running around in the back alleys.

I didn’t really wonder why it was like that.

Is this just a hint? I just came into the alley.

“Wait a minute. This is not a place to enter carelessly.”

“Still, since you came here… shouldn’t you pay the toll?”

Two dirty henchmen blocking our path.

Looking at them, they looked like guys using their strength in a back alley.

It’s already been an hour since I came here.

Meanwhile, I saw more than 10 people and passed by.

Compared to the fact that they are all dirty and in a scruffy state where you don’t know when they were washed.

The two henchmen in front of me looked pretty clean.

It’s just the appearance, but the face…

“How much do you want?”

“Hey~ Does this make sense to you? But I don’t need money here. Just… we’ll use up the girl next to you and give it back to you.”

“Of course, you probably already thought about it back then!”

Hahaha!

What was so funny made the two henchmen laugh so hard that the sky went away.

I looked at Rosellnia, who was standing quietly next to me.

Her expression was quite calm. I wasn’t thinking about anything and was just smiling brightly.

I knew this look.

I looked down and checked her hands.

She was holding the handle of a rapier with so much force in her hand that even men would envy her with thick veins.

If you take that hand off, your handprint will probably remain on the handle.

“Ha.. Do whatever you want.”

“Oh~ Brother! That makes sense! okay. If you don’t want to die, you should hand it over.”

“Sister. It was you who abandoned me, so don’t blame us even if you die!”

Do you think the two henchmen told them?

With a triumphant expression, he stretched out his hand to Rosellnia.

Suddenly!

That moment.

Red water droplets flew in the air.

“Huh..?”

Henchman 1 belatedly judged the situation and made a foolish noise.

“Ugh..Ugh..”

“Shut up. Just make a sound. Next time, I will cut off your head instead of using your dirty hands.”

“Extremely…!”

Rosellnia’s voice sends a chill down my spine.

Henchman 1, who made stupid noises and even gave stupid hiccups, looked at Rosellnia with fearful eyes.

Where has the elation that was just a moment ago gone?

It was pathetic.

Of course, attacking a strong person like Rosellnia is itself an act of suicide.

Even if I die, I won’t be able to say anything.

“Let’s stop here and go inside.”

“Yes! If Ryuk says so, I get it.”

He sheathed his rapier as if he had never done that before. I saw a smile.

Meanwhile, the two henchmen quickly fled deep into the back alley.

Looking at the speed at which they moved, they were only the first ones to have changed jobs.

The guys who got their first job change are living off of it.

I just laughed out loud.

“Let’s go quickly.”

“Yes! Good.”

Roselia moved inside, wrapping her arms around mine.

*

Just a little while ago, some amount of sunlight came in, but now that it was entering deep inside, if you didn’t know that it was daytime, let alone sunlight, you could have thought it was night.

“Why is it so dark here?”

When it was a game, there were no dark back alleys like this.

“This is where people who have not adapted since the cataclysm live.”

“Couldn’t adapt?”

“Yes. That’s…”

According to her explanation.

It is said that about a year before the cataclysm occurred, the world was plunged into darkness.

It is said that a person with that darkness in their body cannot see sunlight for the rest of their life, and the moment they see sunlight, they struggle with great pain.

For most people, the darkness that had been present since the cataclysm has disappeared, but there are still a very small number of people who live with the darkness still in their bodies.

“The problem is.. Has Rosé also been stained with darkness?”

“No. I’m helping players elsewhere so I’m not affected. But… no… it’s nothing.”

Rosellnia opened her mouth to say something, then shook her head and closed her mouth again.

“Do you know how annoying that makes people?”

If you want to talk, there were people who would just say it plainly and then cut off mid-sentence.

I didn’t know that one of them was Rosellnia.

Rosellnia was taken aback when I gave her the look of someone who had been a little betrayed.

“Ah, no.. that’s not it.. actually.. Mariana.. that darkness inhabited her body.”

“…What?”

Mariana was an elf I started hanging out with around the same time as Kar.

I thought you would rule over the elves as the elf queen after I disappeared.

“Ryuk are you okay?”

“Uh.. Uh huh. It’s okay.”

My expression froze as I was worried about Mariana.

Because it was like my first child, my heart was drawn to him even more.

While Kar was able to handle the problem on his own, Mariana was a crybaby who spent the night crying every time and was worried about others, so even fighting with the counter was difficult.

As a result, I frowned without realizing it.

“Phew.. let’s go now. Maybe you can go in further.”

“Ugh. Yes!”

The place we were going was where the guy who attacked me was.

Before he ran away, I attached a location tracker to his cape.

The location you see when you open the map.

The red dot was me and the blue dot was the location on the location tracker.

The distance between the two points is approximately 100 m.

There isn’t much left now.

“Isn’t Ryuk over there?”

I turned my attention to the direction Rosellnia pointed to.

A single hut was placed there.

It felt eerie, perhaps because the surroundings were dark.

It looks old and is a ruin that wouldn’t be surprising if it collapsed any time soon.

In a place like this, it was understandable that he was hiding.

‘Now I know who it is.’

It didn’t look like they were in league with the darkness.

If they were one group, they would have appeared before all the darkness prey died.

“Then go in.”

I was nervous as I stood in front of the ruins.

A strong player who can never be defeated with his current skills.

I couldn’t imagine winning despite taking Beris’s stats and items.

Looking at the skills he used at that time, he seemed like a thief.

Will I be able to win?

Phew… it’ll be okay.

Because Rosellnia is next to me, unlike before.

“Don’t worry. I will protect Ryuk.”

It’s reliable.

Yes, as long as she is by my side, nothing will happen to me.

I grabbed the door handle and opened it with all my strength.

Click.

The door opened and a huge amount of smoke came out from inside.

“Ugh! This is..!”

It’s hot… or should I say it’s cold?

I don’t know, hot yet cold smoke.

At the same time, the acting theme was not acrid, but rather refreshing.

Why do I feel this way?

When I smelled the smoke, I felt refreshed and a little excited.

In short, I felt better.

“Ryuk! You can’t smell this!”

Rosellnia covered my mouth and nose, preventing me from breathing.

Why was this happening? I tried to avoid her hand and smell the smoke more.

Her speed was faster.

“Hey! you! Quickly clear this smoke! Ryuk is drinking!”

Rosellnia shouted towards the inside.

It appears that he is acquainted with the owner of this act. Seeing how angry he is, he seems quite friendly.

Who is it?

I didn’t know all of her friends.

But, if she is the one who reacts this much.

“Wow~ I didn’t know it was there~. Come on in.”

A voice full of sexiness coming from within.

Sexy enough to make me cum just by hearing her voice…

“Wait.”

I know this voice.

I quickly retrieved the information and unpacked the photos I had taken.

I wiggled my hands in the air and found the photo.

‘Here it is.’

The person in the photo and the woman appearing in the smoke.

The two people’s appearances completely matched.

“Uh.. Alchemist..? Why is the alchemist here?”

“Huhu~”

The sexiness, which was more extreme than before, melted my ears.

“What are you doing now! Hurry and get away from Ryuk, pervert!”

“What a pervert. Do you want to turn into a frog~”

“Don’t be funny! Who turns into a frog!”

“It’s noisy. Ryuk~ Welcome, we met again~”

We met again.

We said we’d meet again at the beginner’s village, but I never thought we’d meet here.

As the person who attacked me.

“Why is your expression so scary~”

“Ahh!”

Rosellnia seemed to have noticed, slapping her palm and pointing her finger at the alchemist.

“You! I heard you attacked Ryuk yesterday! I heard it all!”

“Me Ryuk? I don’t know what you’re talking about~”

“It’s no use when it comes to flirting! Because Ryuk attached a location tracker to the cloak of the guy who attacked Ryuk yesterday!”

“Yesterday… Uhm~ I understand~”

Just right.

When the alchemist snapped his fingers, a black shape of a shadow appeared from the floor.

“Did you call me?”

“This is the guy~”

“Uh…”

I looked at the black shadow.

While looking around, a small machine caught my eye.

When I held it in my hand and checked the information, I was sure I had pasted it.

“That’s right. Location tracker here.”

“Uhm.. That’s really it~ Okay, I understand. I’ll solve this~”

“What do you mean by solving it..”

Wow!

Before he could finish speaking, the black shadow’s body swelled and exploded in all directions.

The alchemist’s house turned black in an instant.

Fortunately, the alchemist defended me in front of me, so I was safe.

but.

“What are you doing~!! You damn bitch!!”

Rosellnia did not stop it, so her entire body turned black.

Let’s look at her, wondering if the alchemist made a mistake too.

“This still happened~”

Um.. a mistake.. right?
