episode_0007

In the evening when the sun went down, I was doing squats. It’s good to split the workouts, but my still weak body requires simple, continuous workouts.

“Daron, are you working on your body these days?”

My bedmate, who had been watching me for a few days, looked at me curiously.

“Hamil, do you want to do it too?”

“I’m fine.”

He is not a knight, but an ordinary soldier. Soldiers only have to carry out their assigned missions. Difficult tasks were left to the knights, so it didn’t matter as long as the soldiers had basic skills. I touched my firm thighs and took out the eggs I had prepared.

This is the protein I asked Ray for after having dinner at the bottle restaurant. Even though Ray grumbled, whenever he asked for food like this, he always gave it to him.

gulp.

After a brief workout and eating two eggs, I put on my outerwear.

“Where are you going?”

“To the barracks next door.”

The reason I was going to the barracks next door was because of Tyke. Since it was impossible to meet Tyke in prison, it was difficult to ask him directly where the aphrodisiac came from. Therefore, I plan to find out for myself.

We entered the barracks next door and arrived in front of where Tyke lived. After knocking on the door a few times, the person inside opened it first.

“Ah, are you here?”

“No need to raise it.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

This soldier was the one who shared a room with Tyke, and from what I heard he had been through quite a bit of trouble. When I asked if I could take a look around where Tyke was staying, he was scared at first and asked why. However, when I told him that I was looking for things that could send Tyke further into the abyss, he readily agreed.

In fact, the death penalty is semi-certain, so there is no need to go further into the abyss… … , I wonder how much Tyke must have tormented him to be like this.

“You can look around as you like! Oh, can I go out so it’s easier for you to see?”

“Yes. I’ll tell you first when I find it.”

“I understand. If you find it, please tell me.”

Now I can quietly explore this room alone. A search had already taken place once, examining all of Tyke’s luggage. Still, Tyke’s baggage still remains. When the day comes to throw away all the trash, all of Tyke’s luggage will be thrown away.

Before that, I came to get something.

Because it was a simple murder case, they did not believe that demons were involved, so they would not have investigated this aspect. I took out the object imbued with divine power and opened the closet. I look at God’s tokens and signs among the clothes hanging haphazardly. At this time, you should focus on the sensation of your fingertips.

Even if there are traces of demons left, it will be in very small amounts.

Ugh.

“Nice.”

Things are going better than expected.

It seems like not only his bones have grown thicker as he lives in this harsh world, but even his hair has grown thicker. I didn’t know that something I was skeptical about would work out so well.

Every time I moved my hand back and forth, I felt friction from just one piece of clothing. I took out my clothes. Judging from the fact that it is civilian clothes, it is clear that it is going out clothes. I called the soldier waiting outside the door.

“Do you know when I wore this? Have you gone out wearing this outfit recently?”

“Recently? Umm… … . Was it a week ago?”

“A week ago? Didn’t he say anything about where he was going?”

A week ago. The timing was just right.

“I didn’t tell you where I was going, I went with you.”

“Together? Together with Tyke?”

“Not two, but four.”

“Aha, a tyke and two tykes? Why did you go with them?”

“That… … Well, carry your luggage… … .”

Oh my.

He was a porter.

“… … You must have worked hard too.”

“So, I am truly grateful to you.”

“Yes, yes. Anyway, I mean we went together. Then can you find out where I visited?”

“Do you mind if I tell you… … ?”

He seemed a bit hesitant, so I patted his shoulder and comforted him.

“I will make sure there is no disadvantage to you.”

“Actually… … I went there secretly to buy alcohol. I really just listened! It is true that alcohol was brought into the barracks, but it was forced upon us. I didn’t even drink it.”

That’s why I hesitated.

It is a violation of military law to bring alcoholic beverages into the barracks. It wasn’t that big of a deal, but since it was against military discipline, several months’ worth of money would be lost.

“What can I say about something I was forced to do? I won’t report it. and… … Is there anything else special happening?”

“Something special?”

He was finally relieved and tried to remember. After looking back at his memories for a few seconds, he seemed to remember something.

“Suspicious merchant. Yes, there was a suspicious merchant.”

“Suspicious merchant?”

“A miscellaneous merchant wearing a black robe was soliciting customers.”

Black robe!

Just hearing it gives off a suspicious smell.

“Where? Would you like to explain in more detail?”

“I saw it on the street called Knight. There are many good things… … , take a look… … , I did. Is it a cursed doll, or a poison that can kill you instantly with a single drop? … .”

“What did Tyke buy from that merchant?”

“That’s right. Because he was reluctant, no one paid any attention to the merchant, but Tyke went and bought something as a joke. But I don’t remember what it is.”

“I see. After listening, there is no unusual information.”

“That’s right. He just seemed like a crazy person.”

— is a mess.

I finally stepped on the tail.

Tyke may have bought the medicine, which was described as a medicine, simply out of interest. And after returning, he must have tasted it as a test and realized that it was indeed a weak medicine.

Still, I don’t think it was used on Ray. Anyway, at that time, Ray had a crush on Tyke, so there would have been no reason to use it. … … If not, I would have been forced to use it.

Ray guy. It actually helped that I showed off to Tyke. Thanks to you, you even gave me a virgin.

“I got it first. After looking around, I couldn’t find anything that would be a big problem.”

“Is that so?”

“Don’t worry though. I will make sure he receives the strongest punishment.”

“Yes! Please.”

Since I was involved in the incident, I knew in advance that Tyke’s sentence was death. It will be officially announced some time later.

“I’ll go.”

“Take care!”

I came out of the barracks with a soldier who looked up to me, who had obtained valuable information, behind me. When I looked up at the sky, it was dark. After returning to my barracks, I quickly changed my clothes.

“What is it? Where should I go? Are you going out? Isn’t it too late to go?”

“It’s late, right?”

Since it is still a peaceful era, you can get permission and go into the city. But it was too late to get ready to go out at this time.

“Then you can just stay out.”

“You can only use a little bit a month, so you’re using it now?”

“Going.”

After saying a few words, I left the barracks. It was quite painful to use the sleepover coupon now, but the other person was a mysterious merchant. From what I’ve heard, it looks like they’ve been selling all kinds of strange things, but if they keep doing this, the imperial family will become suspicious and start an investigation… … , will eventually run away.

It may be obsessive-compulsive, but it’s sure to be very painful if we can’t meet tomorrow just one day apart. That’s why I made a hasty decision.

I asked my superior for permission to apply late and received a stay-out permit. After safely getting out of the castle walls, I take a deep breath of cool air.

This is the first view of the street since the regression. Because it was night, the shining ecliptic was very beautiful.

I moved quickly without forgetting my purpose.

They said it was on a street called Night. I arrived at Nitran Street while asking people for its location. It is not yet midnight and there are many passers-by.

After running, I took a breath and slowly looked around the street. Are you late? No matter how much I look, I don’t see any suspicious merchants. I decided to ask someone who might have been following this street all along. I think any street vendor would know.

“Have you ever seen any suspicious merchants on this street?”

“A suspicious merchant?”

“Yes. I heard there was a merchant wearing a black robe.”

“Oh, that crazy guy? A report came in because that guy was selling something worthless. When the soldiers came, you apologized and immediately closed down the business?”

What the fuck?

You already jumped out?

“When was that?”

“Today. Story from a few hours ago.”

Today, there is still a possibility. It would be very unfair to miss out on a night out.

“Can you tell me where it went?”

“Atta. How do I know that? It keeps bothering me. If you don’t want to buy something, go for it.”

“Ah… … haha. Of course I have to buy one.”

“Oh really? Then the story is different.”

Oh, I said it wrong.

This is a jewelry stall.

It will be cheap since it is a street vendor, but if I was going to buy it, I should have gone to a street vendor that sells food at a cheaper price.

“I’ll buy this. So can you tell me?”

I blindly chose an ornament in front of me.

“Give me money first.”

“Yes, yes.”

I felt like if I asked if there was anything cheap, we would just end up bickering and wasting time. I paid the price and took the necklace.

“Hmm, that guy is probably in the park next door.”

“A park?”

“How much money does a guy selling such absurd items make? There is a rumor that he sleeps in the park next door at night.”

A merchant who promotes items that curse or kill people. It looks like he’s having a cold meal.

“Thank you. I’ll just go now.”

After saying hello to the street vendor I had no business with, I ran to the park I saw on Oda. The park was brightly lit with magic lights, and families and couples were enjoying a night out. If I were to sleep out here, I would definitely have settled in a place where there weren’t many magic lights.

While I was looking around the park with this in mind, I heard an argument coming from afar. When I go there… … .

“Can you show me your citizenship?”

“I lost it?!”

Someone was arguing with the soldiers.

“Why are you doing this when I’m just sleeping!”

“If you have difficulty verifying your identity, you must undergo an investigation. Would you please show me your face first?”

A female voice comes from inside the black-robed merchant.

“I don’t like it! I have rights!”

“I don’t know if you have a guardian who can prove that you are a citizen of this country, but if you have truly lost your citizenship, you must first undergo an investigation and receive a new citizenship.”

I don’t know what rights they have, but the soldiers accepted it again.

“If you keep doing this, I will take you by force.”

what. It would be difficult if the soldiers caught me.

I have to catch that guy, who is presumed to be a demon.

“Even if it’s a bit rough, I understand—.”

The soldier who was speaking stops. The other soldiers asked why, but soon fell silent. Everyone’s eyes changed into something mesmerized.

“Now, I showed my citizenship, and you guys go and say everything is fine. You know, right?”

“Yes… … .”

With those words, the soldiers took their steps one by one. As they trudged along, they had no strength, as if they were under hypnosis.

The woman in black robes grumbled as she saw that the soldiers had completely disappeared and began packing her things.

“See… … . They say it’s hard to leave home… … . I guess I’ll have to leave here first… … . Ah, I need to conserve what little magical power I have left, but I used it for something like this… … .”

Are you leaving this place?

That won’t work.

I approached her who was busy packing her things. She suddenly stopped at the footsteps in front of her and looked up at me.

“I don’t think you have money to stay at the inn. Should I help you with some money?”

When I heard those words, white eyes peeking out from under the black robe stared blankly at me.

Oh, isn’t this too obvious?

It seems like they’re trying to lure you in… … . I’ll have to add a few conditions.

“large. Of course, I don’t mean to just give it to you—.”

“Thank you!”

I’m eating this with ease.
