179. Confusion (3)

“Hey, go quickly.”

The black market and Harlem were always places where bad things happened, so people passing by didn’t really react to the loud noise.

However, I felt bad listening to Zion’s cries that were as if she was being torn apart.

I apologized to Julie and knocked on her shop door.

Boom boom-!

“Zion.”

-…….

Her crying stopped abruptly as soon as I spoke.

Bam-!

“Ka…kaka…Cain!!”

Phew!!!!

“Kkwah!”

The door opens quickly. And Zion comes out like a cannon, crashing headfirst into my chest.

I quickly went into the store to see the people around me.

Zion continues to mutter.

“Right? Cain…? Is it really Cain???”

“Yeah. That’s me.”

“Ughh …

Zion, who had been repeatedly confirming with his voice that I was right, soon burst into tears and buried his face in my arms.

I felt bad because I could feel that the already light weight had become even lighter.

I slowly stroked Zion’s head while waiting for her to calm down.

“Black..! Ugh!! Shut up..! Phew!!”

No, don’t blow your nose.

The hand that was holding my body was tightly clenched, and her actions of shaking her head so fast that the hairs flew while rubbing her body were like that.

Soon, she sniffed the air and flinched as she smelled blood.

“Cain…”

“Now. Are you feeling better?”

“Yeah…”

Then, she lifted her head and looked at me. Her eyes were bloodshot and red.

Even his small face seemed to have become thinner.

“What, why are you so skinny?”

“Ppueeeng.”

I caressed her cheek with concern and talked to her, but she burst into tears again and clung to me, burying her face in mine.

There’s nothing I can do, it’s such a mess.

After comforting Zion who had been crying for a long time.

After she calmed down a little, I sat down on her small bed in the corner of the store and started talking to her.

“I’m sorry.”

“Huh? No… Where is the safe place.. Cough…!”

“So, why did you cry so sadly?”

“That’s…”

According to Zion, they only found out about the chaos yesterday, a day after the incident broke out.

That was something that Mila from the store next door told me, since I don’t really go out much.

He said that he was wondering why the guest who had made a reservation did not show up, and then he heard the rumor going around in the black market and came to Zion.

“I…I was just about to go..!”

It is said that a strong magical power was detected by her senses as she was hastily heading towards the hierarchical movement hall.

“The owner of the tower… The owner of the tower came so I couldn’t go…”

It is said that Zion, who felt the tower’s magical power running wild, ran away in a hurry.

In the case of magicians, it is said that when they reach a certain level, they can identify who their opponent is through their magical power.

Before she was affected by the water-type quirk, she was the eldest daughter of the Gresha family and had some interaction with the Magic Tower, so if she were to face the Tower Lord, she would have realized who she was.

“…I know that the family conducts human experiments and that the research results are exchanged to some extent…”

It is said that he quickly ran to the store out of fear that he might be kidnapped by the magic tower.

And she finished explaining that she cried all day because she felt that her actions were cowardly, but she had no way of finding out about me.

“Oh my. I’m so surprised. Come here.”

“Ugh..!”

As I hugged Zion, who had been listening to her story until the end, she burst into tears again.

“It’s okay. Thanks to the signs you gave me, I came back safely. Thank you.”

“Keung!!!”

Zion, who was blowing his nose on my clothes again.

“Sniff sniff… Huh?”

Her ears twitch, then she takes a deep breath of my scent.

And then .

Bam!!

Crack-!

She lifts her head from my body and glares at me with sharp eyes.

“This…crazy…! Who is it!!!”

“What?”

“I…smells like milk…oh my…!! And…”

Zion screams angrily, perhaps because he smelled the milk of Johnson’s mistress and Mayu.

“That’s Zion, that’s all…”

“You bad guy, you cried all day because you were worried about someone, and now you’re fucking a girl?”

“Just a moment.”

“Let go!!!”

I desperately grab Zion who is struggling to escape from my arms, but he resists so much that I start to sweat.

I shouted as I grabbed Zion, who was trying to run away and scratch me with his claws.

“Don’t just watch, help me out.”

“Ah. That was really fun.”

“ in?”

As I spoke into the air like that, Julie appeared with her playful voice.

“Hello Kitty?”

“You…You?!”

“I see you’re doing well.”

“Jury…? You…you left the city, right?”

“It’s been so long since I came back, but the news is so slow~”

He was so surprised that for a moment, Zion’s body lost all strength, so he hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear.

“First, listen to what I have to say. There are circumstances to everything.”

Zion, who was surprised by the sudden appearance of Juri, soon stops resisting and turns his head to me after seeing the two of us.

“Explain quickly. Right now.”

Even though she still looked angry, I explained to her everything that had happened so far.

“Oh my god. What the..!”

When she heard about the events that had occurred in the labyrinth, the current state of the city, the story about the nameless, and the things that Juri and I had done while wandering around, the corners of her eyes that had been raised up went down and she made a blank expression.

“That’s why it’s like that.”

“No, wait a minute. The stories are just too…”

He waited for Zion, who was confused by the sudden influx of information, and hugged her and patted her on the back.

But it’s cute how he quietly burrows into my arms, his anger having subsided somewhat.

As if he had finished thinking, Zion pulled out of my arms and looked at Juri and me.

“Okay, I understand. So there must be a reason why you came with me.”

“I’ll take Mion and get out of the union. Let’s go together.”

“What? No… Wait.”

Zion, who was about to say no, hesitated and rolled his eyes here and there.

And then.

“Haa…. If what Juri said is true, the Empire won’t stay still either. The situation has become urgent, so if news gets to the Empire… the Gaju bastard might make a move.”

Zion sighed deeply and spoke to me.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

“Are you okay?”

“Apart from whether it’s okay or not, if I miss this opportunity now, I might never see Mi-on again. What should I do? I have to go.”

Soon Zion is out of the bamboo and wandering around the store, swaying.

“You got it quickly?”

“Because Zion is smart.”

“Huh~”

Julie approaches Zion, who is rustling around in the corner of the store.

“Cat.”

“I’m busy. Don’t talk to me.”

“Hey~ Are you mad? Did you have sex with Cain?”

“No!”

I’m angry.

Maybe you’re misunderstanding because you can smell Julie’s scent coming from my body.

“I just touched it a little, don’t worry.”

“Whew…. Huh!! Who…who was relieved?!”

“I’m sad, my sister used to buy food and take care of sales for our cat when it cried because it was hungry.”

“Okay… Wait a minute…!”

“And what was it…. Last time I didn’t have money…”

“Aaah!! Stop!! I said I’m not angry!!”

As soon as Juri appears to be about to tell Zion’s dark history, Zion immediately starts yelling and runs towards Juri.

Kwak-!

Dangling dangling

“Tchcha..! Okay. Just pack light clothes and important items. Just tell your subordinates to do it.”

“Yeah….”

It only took a moment for him to rush towards Julie.

Zion, who had his neck grabbed and his shoulders slumped, nodded.

As Julie lets go, Zion walks quickly, gathering his clothes.

“Oh my. Even the underwear for the match? I think I bought this recently?”

“Look…look at this…!”

“Bojimat? How can you say such a lewd and obscene word, Cat?”

“This is so profitable!! This is driving me crazy!!!”

In the meantime, I almost burst out laughing at the sight of Juri following Zion around and teasing him, and Zion having a good sense of hitting.

Maybe it was because the money wasn’t good, but Zion’s clothes looked a bit shabby and I felt a little sad.

and.

Jjang-

He slowly walks to the store counter and carefully takes out money.

They were all bronze, and I only saw one or two silver ones.

“What…what are you looking at? Cain.”

“No.”

Ah… Is that all? I gave you 10 silver last time and added some more money when you bought things, but this is still really frustrating.

“Zion. Don’t worry, oppa, you have a lot of money now. I’ll feed you.”

“Oh… Oppa, you piece of shit!”

I showed Zion, who had been swearing at me for the first time in a while, the things I had just farmed.

Chorrr!

“….!!!”

As he opened the pouch, which was full of only gold and silver, without any jewels, gold ornaments, or bronze, and poured its contents out onto the table, Zion’s eyes grew wide as if they were going to pop out.

“Even like this?”

“Oh….Oh…”

“Oh?”

“Brother…..”

Even though her face was red with shame, she ended up grabbing Zion’s soft cheek as he called her brother.

“Then let’s go.”

“Pfft..!”

“Profit…!”

Zion, who had been glaring at Juri at the sound of her laughter, quietly took my hand and left the store.

And then head straight to your accommodation.

bang!!!!

-Eww!!!

As we got closer to the accommodation, we started to hear loud noises and people screaming.

“Ms. Jury!”

“I’ll go first.”

“Yes.”

“Cain..?”

Zion, who doesn’t know English, and Juri and I, whose expressions are frozen.

The security force, the processing team, and the tower are all out alone… Is this a religious sect?

Julie ran out quickly first.

“Zion.”

“Huh?”

“Up.”

Perhaps sensing the seriousness of the situation, Zion quickly jumped onto my back.

‘The Pillar.’
