42 – #42. Red District Dordom (2)

“Hey, let’s stop for a moment.”

With a rough-looking man with a thick beard.

People who appeared to be members of his group were unexpectedly blocking the front of the carriage.

“What on earth…?” !”

Emil’s expression became frowning.

The situation was already urgent due to the princess’s safety, but they seemed angry when some bandit-like guys blocked the carriage.

“Hey! “It’s not coming out?!”

The bearded man shouts loudly at us in the carriage.

Emil must have been angry, so he picked up the sword he had put down and tried to get out of the carriage.

At that time.

“Sian… ?”

“… ….”

I grabbed Emil’s arm as he was about to leave.

“I will solve it.”

And then, instead of Emil, he opened the carriage door and went down.

This situation is familiar.

When he was in poverty before becoming a businessman, he worked numerous part-time service jobs.

Convenience store, serving, kitchen, phone sales, event information, etc.

I have met the truth.

I don’t know why our carriage was blocked, but I decided it was better for me to get out rather than the excited Emil.

If a fight breaks out and you make a fuss, the Dark Demon Church that kidnapped Rosaria might notice.

If it’s someone who really wants to fight, it’s better for me to settle things quickly and quietly.

“Are you the leader? … “It’s pretty small.”

As I got out of the carriage, the bearded man blocking the road spoke to me.

Looking up close, the rice cake was amazing.

Although I was currently fifteen years old, he had a relatively large physique even among average adult men.

Just by looking at the visual, he was a bandit leader.

“What are you doing? “I was surprised when the carriage suddenly stopped.”

“Clark! It’s not a big deal, because carriages don’t often come in at this time…. “Where were you on your way?”

His words to explore.

At that time, I had a general idea.

He wasn’t coercive and seemed to be watching carefully, so he seemed like someone who was wary of the Knights Templar.

It’s easy for criminal organizations to hide in these entertainment districts.

Therefore, there will be many articles that disguise themselves as commoners and infiltrate the investigation to target this.

‘Although our intentions are similar… ‘I have no intention of joining other criminal organizations.’

The purpose is to save Rosaria. In order to prioritize him, unnecessary friction had to be reduced.

After fully understanding the situation, I spoke to him with a sly smile.

“We were on our way to help procure supplies from a store we know.”

“It’s about procurement of supplies… this time?”

“Yes. It’s a store that I know, but it was busy right before it opened, so I came to help. “The sign hasn’t even been put up yet.”

“Hmm….”

It was when he was thinking about something I said.

“Get out of the way! “Isn’t it someone else’s business?”

Emil got out of the carriage and came towards us angrily.

‘Ike…’ I told you to stay in the carriage….’

Seeing Emil so angry, the bearded man suddenly began to frown as if he was in a bad mood.

“Ah?!”

“Why are you suddenly blocking our path! “Come out quickly!”

“Emil. Wait a minute.”

“Sian… ?”

I blocked the excited Emil with my arm and made him take a step back.

Then he took something out of his pocket and put it in the hand of the bearded man who was on the verge of getting angry.

As soon as he sees something in his hand, his eyes widen.

It was a gold coin.

‘Normally, you rarely see gold coins on this street.’

Even if it is a street where people buy and sell castles or sell water.

There are probably only a few people who can give a gold coin as a tip. It’s probably an amount that only a special guest, such as a high-ranking noble, can’t even see.

Then I quickly spoke to him. Without losing your business smile.

“I apologize for my friend’s mistake. It seems the store was so busy that he became impatient. “What would your name be?”

“… Maurice.”

“Yes, Maurice. If you don’t mind, would Mr. Morris, the head of this place, be kind to you? “The road we were on was very busy.”

“… ….”

After hearing what I said, he looked again at the gold coin in his hand.

Then he turned his back on me and gestured to his companions.

“Withdrawal.”

The group nodded at his words and started moving back into the street.

Just as he was about to follow them, I hurriedly called him over and said,

“Mr. Maurice.”

“… Something?”

“Do you know of a bar with a red roof and yellow lanterns? “I heard that an acquaintance of mine is preparing a store nearby.”

“Red roof… I think you’re talking about the dawn moon. “Maybe if you go a little further along this street and turn right, you’ll come out.”

“Thank you.”

After my greeting, he turns his back again and walks towards his companions.

Then Emil came up to me again and said.

With a somewhat surprised expression.

“… “You’re good at it.”

“No. “It’s basic.”

“It is not basic. “Where on earth did you learn this?”

“I learned it from where I lived.”

“Where I used to live… ? What kind of place did you live in? .”

When a customer makes a mistake, it is best to provide service right away.

Humans are animals that like free things, so if you give them a service, most of them will shut up.

This was wisdom I learned while running a restaurant.

“Rather than that, let’s get back into the carriage. I found the way. “I think the name of the store is called Dawn Moon.”

*

As the carriage continued to move forward, I realized that I was going deeper into the red light district.

Is it because they had no money, so they used wood as the raw material for the building and built it as cost-effectively as possible?

The center of the Lyanna Empire had a strong Northern European feel, but on the outskirts, Dordom, the entertainment and red-light district, had a strong feel of old Japan.

A street colored with red lanterns.

Drunk people stumbling around drunk.

Women wearing revealing clothes and beckoning to come into the store.

There were drunken people who occasionally slowed down and obstructed the carriage’s progress, but there was no one who blocked the carriage as openly as the man with the beard in front.

It was time to move by carriage to some extent.

As the man with the beard told us, we were able to find a store with a red roof and yellow lanterns.

We stopped the carriage near the store.

Before Emil gets off, he begins to take something out of his backpack.

I asked her out of curiosity.

“Do you have anything to prepare?”

“Yes. “I’m thinking of dressing up as a man.”

“I’m a man… ?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Didn’t you say that your destination was a store that sells alcohol and women? “If I go there as a woman, I will naturally be suspicious.”

“Ah.”

… A beautiful woman dressed as a man, this is quite rare to see.

She took out her men’s clothes from her backpack and tied her hair into a ponytail.

And while trying to change her clothes… He looked at me intently.

I looked at her in the same way because I wanted to know something about her, but I noticed her too late.

“I’ll look back.”

“… Thank you.”

After Emil finished dressing her as a man, we got out of the carriage.

“Thank you for your hard work. Coachman. “Then I’ll meet you at the entrance when the sun rises.”

“Yes.”

I stood in front of the entrance to the Dawn Moon store with Emil.

A commotion was heard beyond the lattice wooden door.

It was a considerably larger building than the room bars scattered around.

According to information from the intelligence force Night Crow, Rosaria is detained somewhere in the basement of this store….

“Are you ready?”

I spoke to Emil.

“Preparations were in progress from the beginning. “Let’s go in right now.”

“Yes.”

Just like that, we opened the lattice wooden door to the side and entered the store.

As soon as we entered the store, we were greeted by a woman who appeared to be in her early 30s, wearing clothes that showed off her cleavage.

“Welcome. “Are you two?”

Is this the madam of this store called Saebyeokdal?

Her commercial smile was relaxed.

“Yes. “There are two people.”

“Are you two going to eat together?”

“No. “Please stay in separate rooms.”

In order to collect information, it is more efficient to search for it in scattered ways.

“Please come this way.”

I followed the madam who guided me inside.

The store was spacious.

It seemed like there were about 30 rooms in total, and most of the employees walking around the store were women who appeared to be in their early 20s.

Soon, Madame stopped in one room.

“I think one person can go into this room.”

“I will go in.”

Emil went first and entered the room.

Then Madame smiled and bowed her head to Emil, and then she started walking ahead again.

I just followed along.

Many rooms passed my field of vision.

Inside, I saw women catering to the older male customers.

Bing Even when our business associates from all over the world asked us to go, we never came to a place like this….

I felt strange as if I was deviating from something for the first time.

Let’s throw away random thoughts.

Right now, all I can think about is saving Rosaria.

Madame once again stood tall in an empty room.

“Master, you can go in here.”

“… Thank you.”

Without showing signs of nervousness, I followed Madam’s instructions into the room and sat down at the table with cushions.

Then Madame said to me.

“If you don’t like your partner, you can come back to me. Well then, have a good time.”

-Drur.

The door closes.

“… ….”

I sipped the tea left on the table in silence.

‘I’m nervous.’

Originally, I didn’t want to call the woman who served the customers, but….

If I did that, I could be suspected of being a suspicious guest, so I had to moderately serve the customer and then use the bathroom as an excuse to investigate.

That’s how I got along with Emil.

… I guess I waited about 5 minutes.

-Drur.

The door opened again. And then someone came in.

“Hello. Young master!”

Someone came in and smiled brightly and greeted me.

Hair tied with a silver flower-shaped pin.

Small face, sharp nose, and fox-like eyes.

It was a young-looking girl who appeared to be in her early 20s with somewhat heavy makeup.
