Chapter 6 Episode 22 – Robber

On the way to the capital on a Ryuka.

Because Ker was among the group, they had to hide in the cave when the sun went down. So, we had to fly over three days to cover a distance that should have been covered in one day, but it didn’t really matter as we were not pressed for time.

Ker must have been aware that he was causing the delay, so he stayed calm and didn’t make a fuss about playing like usual. Of course, being depressed because of what happened at the management bureau also played a part.

It’s been a long time since I spent the night in a cave. In the past, when I first started playing this game, I stayed in a cave with Kerr, and since then, my size has grown, but my sleeping position is still the same.

When I slept, of course Ker was by my side. Ryuka also wanted to sleep next to me, but she had to become a bio-blackout curtain, covering the bed with her large body to prevent moonlight from entering.

When Karjen sleeps, she stays away, but when she wakes up in the morning, she turns into a fox and curls up next to my bed. I wonder if it came to me unconsciously during my sleep, and I was confused.

Anyway, it’s been 3 days since I flew like that. After flying to a distance where the city was visible to the naked eye, I decided to walk from there.

‘As Mr. Leger said, the capital side is at least fine.’

The southern region was hit hard by the Mine incident. The gap between the rich and the poor is partly due to differences in basic social infrastructure and security, but the biggest cause is the physical distance from the mother-in-law.

Thanks to the quick putting an end to the demons that occurred in the north, the Salt Mother and Patricia are able to maintain a semblance of human life, but on the other hand, the southern part is in shambles because it is difficult for the Salt Mother to get there.

‘Of course, it doesn’t change that the empire collapsed because the government and military were taken over.’

Anyway, since I couldn’t make a dragon appear in the sky above the capital where people lived, I decided to just walk when I was almost there.

After walking for quite a long time, I was able to arrive at the outskirts of the capital. Unlike the interior of the capital, which seemed fine on the outside, the small villages on the outskirts already looked like ruins.

However, that didn’t mean there were no people at all. Because a group of strange mid-century robbers were occupying the empty space left by the residents.

They must have known we were coming, so they surrounded us on all sides and blocked our escape route.

As you can see from the fact that they are all armed with firearms, these guys are scum. In this worldview, truly powerful people carry cold weapons.

An ugly guy with a leather jacket with a torn arm and a mohawk haired strode forward. Of course, it is not for the purpose of welcoming us.

“What are we pretty girls doing in such an ugly place?”

The Mohican licks his knife and scans us with his bright white eyes.

And then a small whispering sound came from behind it.

” Hey, the bitches I caught the day before yesterday were pretty even, but compared to those bitches, there are no pumpkins.”

“Wow, fuck… . Look at the black haired bitch in front of you. I’ve never seen such a pretty woman in my life.”

“Fuck, those top quality products belong to the boss. I suddenly feel dirty.”

The part that caught my eye was the ‘black-haired bitch’, and I felt dirty thinking that there was no one in our group with black hair other than me.

“Ugh… . Zeke… . scary… .”

Ryuka trembles and hides behind my back. Among us, weight class is the biggest subject and also the most fearful. Honestly, those bastards, if Ryuka gave them a single blow, their heads would explode and they would run away. It seems similar to people being afraid of bugs.

“Sniff… . It smells delicious!”

Ker, who had been sniffing earlier, seemed to have smelled food, drool flowing from his mouth and wagging his tail. Now that I think about it, it’s almost time to eat.

“Kayen, are you hungry?”

“……Master, you sure don’t mean to eat those dirty humans, right?”

Karjen frowns and expresses disgust with her whole body.

“Don’t be a picky eater. Because of you, I’m anemic and it’s hard to walk.”

“It’s because the owner is weak.”

“Anyway, I won’t give you blood anymore, so fill your stomach on your own.”

“Keuung… .”

Maybe it’s because Karjen has been drinking my blood these days, but her appetite has increased. There is a limit to the blood I can give, and in this desperate situation, proper nutrition cannot be provided, so blood loss is fatal. Considering that he was quite dizzy this morning, I had no choice but to feed him in a different way.

Bang bang!

Perhaps angry that we kept ignoring him, one of the robbers fired a gun into the sky. The Mohican, who had come quite close, also gave off a menacing aura as he twirled his sword in a flashy manner.

“Our pretty girl ignores people? Is it really funny because you’re talking with a smile?”

Sigh –. Mohican thrust the knife into my chest.

“I really like the knife marks on a pretty girl’s body. So, if you don’t want to see blood, you should follow along quietly, right?”

“I am a man. And I think I’ve already seen the blood.”

“……Huh?”

A fleeting moment that neither I nor Mohawk noticed. The wrist of the man holding the knife was torn off entirely.

“I was trying to set the mood, but I felt sorry. My child is clueless.”

The wrist he lost was stuck in Ker’s mouth, and Ker, who does not eat human flesh, spit it out on the floor.

“Aaaagh—!”

Mohican struggles with the pain that comes later. And then, as if they had realized the situation, the robbers who were surrounding us aimed their guns.

“What the fuck, was it a man!?”

“Don’t be damned. How on earth can you be a man with that face!”

“Fuck, who cares which one! So pretty!”

As I looked at the beautiful figure who didn’t care at all that my colleague was disabled, I thought that a robber is a robber.

Well, anyway… . Everyone has to die first, right?

“Kids, save at least one person. Because I have to make you drive.”

*

I looked around the garage and checked the condition of the car. I thought it would be in crappy condition, but surprisingly, it was not only in good condition, but better than I expected.

The fact that the exterior and engine were completely remodeled to give off a turn-of-the-century feel was also quite a plus. There is something about this design that secretly stimulates men’s romance. Normally, no matter how much shame I’ve lost, I can’t ride it because I’m too embarrassed, so I have to ride it at times like this.

“This is true. From cars to food. I can’t believe you gave me such a big gift. Aren’t these guys actually Santa?”

“Hot, Santa? Did I kill Santa!? So I can’t receive gifts anymore?”

“Don’t worry, Ker. Because there is a separate Santa who comes to the management office.”

“Then you’re lucky!”

It almost destroyed Ker’s innocence.

Every year, the bureau holds a Christmas event and gives out gifts to employees and pixies, and Kerr strongly believes that the employees dressed in costumes are the real Santa.

Anyway, I found a car to ride. All you have to do is eat something and leave.

“Kayen. You saved someone to drive, right?”

Perhaps dissatisfied with having her stomach filled with tasteless humans, Karjen did not respond properly and pointed to one of the robbers who had survived with his tentacles. Even if it’s sprained like that, it will heal quickly with a drop of my blood, so there’s no need to worry too much.

“You. What’s your name?”

“Uh, father… .”

“Parent? Is that your name?”

“Parent, parent… .”

Has this made you crazy?

‘Well, the tentacle monster ate all my colleagues right before my eyes. ‘I can’t help but lose my mind.’

No matter how weakened Karjen was due to the contract, she was only weakened by the standards of superhumans. For ordinary people like me and a group of robbers, it is still a monster that cannot be overcome.

What’s more, he’s not just a superhuman, but a tentacled monster that eats people. Right now, Karjen is more scary to this guy than any knight.

But this guy’s circumstances are none of my business.

match-!

I hit the pomade-headed cheek with such force that it made my palm tingle. He must have come to his senses and looked at me blankly.

I said to the dumbfounded guy.

“Wake up. I have to drive.”

*

Highway to the capital. Kerr sticks his head out the window of a fast-moving car. It sticks out its tongue and enjoys the wind.

The only people traveling by car are me, Ker, and Karjen. Ryuka had been working as a group for so long that he was pushed to his limits in many ways, so he just abandoned it.

There was something to check anyway, so someone had to stay.

Pomade, the driver and survivor of the robber group, crouched and kept looking at me. Since I saw that Karjen consistently treated me as her master, that guy accepted that I was a more dangerous person than Karjen.

“So. Your boss is a big man in his own right?”

“Yes, deposit… . Of course, compared to Nari, she is the size of a baby ant, but she has made a name for herself.”

“Really? I’ve never heard that name before.”

“Ah, cancer. Even if you have to make a name for yourself, you end up being no better than a city administration tycoon. I told you in case you were curious. Hehehe… .”

Pomade must have decided that he had to rely on me in order to survive, so he eagerly spread information that wasn’t even asked. I was bored on the way, so I listened to it briefly, but it also had some nutritious information.

Of course, I had no interest in being the leader of those guys, so I didn’t even remember his name.

‘It’s the movement of demons… .’

Pomade’s organization was originally located in the southern part of the country with few people. But suddenly a large group of demons attacked and they fled. What was interesting was that the demons were not chasing them, but were moving all at once as if possessed by something.

The robbers headed in the opposite direction of where the demons were going. Since they moved like that and arrived in the north, the conclusion is that the demons moved south.

Because it’s south… . Come to think of it, Patricia asked me to subdue Rusk. If that request was sincere, is Patricia planning to use Mine to hit Rusk?

‘Aren’t they on the same side as those guys? ‘Why are they fighting among themselves?’

Well, it’s normal for humans to take sides and fight among themselves. Perhaps it was for an unusual reason, such as wanting to take all the credit for conquering the earth.

Anyway, I plan to focus on figuring out Patricia’s plans and weaknesses in this route.

‘This event is going to be quite difficult.’

It really makes me sigh.

“Ugh… .”

“Hiik… . Me, Nari. Is there something that makes you uncomfortable? ?”

“Shut up and drive.”

“Yes, yes.”
