episode_0122

A street that feels desolate even in broad daylight.

Who would have thought that just 10 years ago, this place was called a city where music and art bloomed?

In fact, it is now called Perun, the city of gambling.

[Wolf and Fox]

There were two men and a woman coming out of the tavern in broad daylight.

“They say it’s a crime city. I thought gangsters would come out as soon as I entered the territory. The bar is also much more ordinary than I thought.”

Marianne, who was wearing her robe, grumbled softly.

“Because they are the ones who are so good at hiding.”

“Of course it’s here, right?”

Her steps were light as she headed toward the back alley without hesitation.

“Hmm. That’s not necessarily true.”

Hearing the anticipation in her voice, Nazar shook his head and followed.

* * *

dark night.

-Someone is chasing me. A woman ran urgently. As I continued to run through alleyways, alleyways, and alleyways, I came to a dead end. Before she could think more, men smiling sinisterly surrounded her.

“What’s going on?”

“If you owe money, you have to pay it back with your own body.”

It was a common sight in a city where alcohol, gambling, and drugs were popular. Even her fate. Whether she is captured by men and becomes a prostitute or a slave, it depends on the mood of the men.

“Hehe. Brother, why don’t we try the taste first?”

“Let’s take him to the hideout first.”

The man’s rough hand grabbed her wrist.

“, don’t do this! There is still a repayment period!”

No matter how hard she struggled, it seemed like her fate would not change.

However, there was a man and a woman who were looking down at the scene from above.

“Is it bingo this time?”

“Well, shouldn’t you find out once you catch it?”

Nazar shrugged.

“It’s not as fun as I thought.”

Marian said that and jumped off the roof. It was a light movement that seemed to have no weight.

Before she could land, Nazar moved quickly and grabbed the men by the back and threw them to the floor.

Craddangtang!

“Kaaak!”

The men, who fell backwards due to an unknown force and hit their buttocks on the hard floor, let out a single scream.

Among them, the man who rolled over and broke all the boxes piled up was unable to come to his senses for a while and lay on the floor groaning.

“Damn…!”

However, as the pain gradually subsided and it became bearable, the man started swearing. He wasn’t going to leave the damn bastard who threw him here alone.

“Fuck, what a bastard, big!”

But before he could finish speaking, his head fell to the floor. When he barely raised his gaze, he saw a girl who must have been sixteen trampling on his head.

“Why, what a girl!”

However, the man could not finish his sentence. The pure white nape of the neck and gray hair that was revealed between the gray robes, and the clothing that was at first glance obvious were not because he was an aristocrat. To the person who appears to be a subordinate behind the girl. One by one, his colleagues were being sucked into the shadows.

Everyone had a cruelly distorted expression on their faces.

The man’s mouth closed like a clamshell.

His shadow was also moving. As if they were going to eat me at any time. Rather, it seemed as if the presence of this girl had suspended the execution.

Only then did I slowly look at the girl’s expression.

It’s terrifyingly beautiful. But he looked somewhat drowsy. At least one thing is known. The expression on the girl’s face that was looking at her did not look like she was looking at a person. It’s like looking at something more insignificant than a bug.

“The largest organization that auctions slaves here. Do you know?”

The shoes that were pressing down on my head disappeared. As if he was asking me to say something.

“If you don’t want to talk, just go in.”

As soon as she said that, her body went down.

Like a swamp.

“Sir, please save me!”

Marian looked down at the man who was silently terrified. ‘What is this trash talking about?’ Why do you want me to save your life when I ask about the auction house?

This was when she frowned and said, ‘Don’t bother, just blow.’

“Never, no matter how much I tell you to do from above, I will never lay a hand on that young lady from now on. I swear on my dick!”

The man, who seemed to be thinking about how to kill Marianne as she was struggling, interrupted her and hit her forehead on the floor. A huge sound rang out, perhaps due to the lower body half-buried in the shadows.

“Wira…”

Marian laughed in amusement, not even paying attention to the woman she saved.

“So, you know?”

Seeing her smiling happily, the man couldn’t say he didn’t know.

“Yes, yes, I am from this district.”

“It would be best to answer the lady’s words obediently.”

The man nodded frantically. As I faced the cold, shining eyes of the person who had taken my life in the dark, I felt like my already buried pants were getting wet.

“Yes, yes. Yes.”

“Why did you try to kidnap that woman?”

“Well, I’m a low-level member of the organization, so I don’t know anything. When a mission comes down, all you have to do is follow the orders.”

“Hmm?”

Marian tilted her head. In a man’s eyes, then, is there a reason why I should save you? It seemed that way and he started adding words.

“However, when there is no mission, they just kidnap anyone, but that woman is a woman who borrowed money from the organization, so they rushed it because it was quite common.”

“Wow. Is it really trash?”

“Yes, yes. Sorry for being trash.”

“Tell me more.”

“Yes, yes, yes, that is. Usually, when a woman is kidnapped, if she is a virgin, she is put up for auction, and if she is experienced, after a few rounds, she is sold as a prostitute. Heehee…!”

The man, frightened by the murderous gaze, lowered his head.

“I think it would be better for you not to listen, lady.”

“It’s okay. Well said, just leave it alone.”

Nazar said he was too overprotective, so there seemed to be no lies in the man’s words. I feel like I’m just saying what I really know and what comes to mind.

“…Okay.”

“Continue.”

“…Yes, yes.”

The man didn’t know what to do. If I don’t say that, I feel like I’m going to die right now, and it still seems like the girl is the owner…

“In fact, this city is made up of all organizations, starting from the lord.”

Marian’s head turned. There I saw a tall castle.

“…The lord is on the same team?”

“A little different.”

The scale of the organization was beyond imagination. The lord of this place planned to eliminate the organization as soon as he took office. If something illegal was happening in his territory, it was a natural response. However, the organization did not stay still. The lord’s family was kidnapped.

“ㅡWhat about that family?”

Marian narrowed her eyes. This is what justice without power is. Still, the aftertaste is not good.

“You are safe. The lord knelt down and prayed. It is a famous story among gang members.”

Afterwards, the lord closed his eyes. A kind of transaction, the organization and the lord do not touch each other.

There were many organizations, but all of them were structured in detail like a net.

Even illegal auctions that would normally avoid attention were being held proudly in this city.

Even though he knows that he pays a lot of taxes to the empire, he seems to be hissing it out. As expected, the city itself was a hotbed of crime.

“Hoo.”

The man shouted vigorously, looking at his gray eyes that were shining as if his drowsy appearance was a lie.

“You understand now, right? If you touch me, the organization will not let you go! Everyone in the organization and in this city will capture you and use you as a plaything. But if you let me live. Wow!”

Marian, who was listening to the man’s ramblings, thought, ‘Did this guy eat something wrong all of a sudden?’ I even felt puzzled. But, thinking that she had been too gentle, she nodded and gathered mana into her fingers and lightly pricked the back of his hand.

“Am I easy?”

“Quaaah!”

Her white, slender fingers went in. As if the man’s hand and the hard floor were pudding.

My finger slipped out. But there was a transparent icicle stuck there like a stake.

“No answer?”

She also drove a stake into the man’s other hand.

“Quaaah!”

“Lady. I think I need mental education.”

“Really?”

Marian tilts her head to Nazar’s words.

“Sa, please save me, I have a wife like a fox and children like rabbits…!”

The sight of a man interfering between the two.

“It’s cliché.”

Marian heartily dismissed the man’s story.

“Give me 10 minutes.”

Nazar even brought out a chair that did not match the back alley and made her sit down. We set out refreshments on the table, turned over the hourglass, and said, ‘Okay.’ He said this and disappeared into the shadows along with the terrified man.

Marianne took a moment to leisurely savor her black tea. She put down the teacup with a graceful gesture and only then did she open her lips.

“Is there still sand left?”

The man who reappeared trembled with the limbs supporting his body.

As she said, about half of the sand in the hourglass remained.

“I didn’t need even 10 minutes, but if you want…”

The corners of Nazar’s mouth rose.

There was no need for an afterword.

In the man’s head, it seemed to sound like, ‘Right now again.’

The degree of piercing through the body was nothing. Compared to the author, the girl was an angel. Even though his body was pierced over and over again, in fact it only took less than 5 minutes, the man felt like he had experienced all the suffering of his life. In the fantasy, the man experienced four years of hell.
