43 – #43. Red District Dordom (3)

“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 heavy makeup.

“Oh, hello….”

“Wow… ! “You won this time!”

“Yes?”

“Ah! It’s nothing. “I was just talking to myself.”

She came in and came towards me, carrying her cushion.

Afterwards, he took a seat at the table across from me and sat next to me as if he were sitting in his own seat.

“Uh….”

“Why are you doing this?”

“No, there is a seat in front, but you sit next to me…” .”

“Are you displeased?”

“No. That’s not it….”

“Hee hee!”

– Kuuk.

She sits close to me and puts her arms around me.

I felt the touch of something fairly large touching the center of her body.

It was reckless.

There was no hesitation at all, as if he was familiar with physical contact.

Is this a courtesan who works here?

“What does your handsome oppa do?”

She pushed her face closer.

Eyes full of curiosity.

The smell of cosmetics and perfume was strong. The smell of plum blossoms… ?

I spoke to her dryly while crossing her arms.

“… “I am an ordinary merchant.”

“Merchant?! “You must have a lot of money!”

“I just earn what I deserve. And, I am not your brother.”

“If you’re handsome, you’re all oppa! Or not… “Do you like your sister better?”

Her eyes narrowed like a fox trying to seduce.

The eyes looking at me are also clear, as if they could eat me at any moment.

The loose hem of the high-quality silk material looks expensive at first glance.

You can feel the pure sparkle in his eyes and his gentle tone of voice.

He seemed quite skilled at dealing with men.

… Is she someone who has been involved in the art world since she was young?

Indeed, I thought I could understand why there are so many people who spend money on entertainment like this and live a life consumed by alcohol.

“Alcohol… “I want to order it.”

“Ah! Look at my mind! “What would you like to eat?”

“I hope it is a relatively light alcoholic beverage.”

“Ugh, our store only has strong products… “Would you like me to give you at least some low-quality Songja wine?”

“That’s enough.”

“Yes~.”

She opened the door again and walked out with her guns blazing.

“Phew….”

When I let her go, she was able to breathe for a moment.

Because it was a facility located in a red light district, I was constantly nervous and my nerves were on edge.

We don’t know what force is behind this place, and the force that kidnapped Rosaria may also be sneaking in not far away.

It was not the time to leisurely drink and fool around.

‘What are you doing here to save Rosaria?’ .’

These events have helped me clearly organize my thoughts.

I will never become Rosaria’s bodyguard.

I felt like if I kept getting caught up in these things, I would lose at least 10 pieces of my body.

Instead….

“I brought alcohol. Brother!”

While she was thinking, she already brought drinks.

I looked at her and answered.

“… Thank you.”

She sat down next to me again and placed the glass she had brought with her on the table.

I quickly pour the Songjaju that I brought with me.

And then he brightly handed me a fully filled glass.

“Drink!”

“… ….”

I thought as I silently took the glass.

I’ll drink in moderation for about 30 minutes and pretend to be drunk, then use the excuse of going out to the bathroom.

And then we go around and research information.

For now, let’s pretend to be a guest so that no one gets suspicious and drink in moderation so that we don’t get drunk.

You may discover the Dark Demon Church at any time, so don’t let your guard down.

I drank my glass.

-Gulp, gulp.

“hehehe….”

It was sweet, like a liquor made by mixing pine nuts with yeast powder.

However, perhaps because it had a bit of alcohol content, it had an astringent taste.

‘My current physical age is 15, so is it okay for me to drink this often? .’

Although you have to drink it to avoid suspicion.

After drinking a few glasses, I slowly started to feel intoxicated.

She looks at me with a smile.

Just when she was about to say something because her gaze was burdensome, she asked me first.

“… “What are you not doing?”

Ah.

A moment of silence.

An awkward atmosphere flowed.

Although it was implicit, I was told within her bar that it didn’t matter how they treated the courtesan as long as they paid her money.

Of course, you shouldn’t have a physical relationship, but….

It was a natural perception that some degree of physical touch existed.

But I didn’t want to do that.

I don’t have the mood or situation to do that.

“Well, it doesn’t really matter as it is.”

“Why? “Then what are you here to do?”

“All you have to do is drink and receive. “I felt lonely because I was alone a lot, but that was enough.”

“… Is it so? “Are you thankful?”

“… ….”

Thank you.

If it were me, I think I would have been grateful to customers like me.

In the art world, being touched must have been a daily routine, so it must have been tiring.

Silence fell again.

She would leave quickly, and since I didn’t seem to have anything to say, she didn’t say anything.

When I finished drinking, he filled my glass again without saying a word.

“… ….”

“… ….”

The awkward silence was a little uncomfortable.

“… Do you have any difficulties while working?”

I was so uncomfortable that I blurted out something.

“There are a lot!”

But thankfully, she responded loudly to my formal question.

“What are the main ones?”

As a courtesy to her, I offer her a drink in her empty, unused glass, and she accepts it.

Then she emptied her glass in one gulp.

“… Kya!”

“… ….”

She speaks next.

From noble mtl dot com

“I was stressed these days because of the sudden increase in strange group guests! I’m old, but I don’t have any manners and treat me carelessly….”

“It must have been difficult.”

“That’s right. Just set them up like dolls and play with them and keep talking about what they know among themselves!”

“Ho… “What kind of story is this?”

“Hmm, it was mainly about politics and magic, right? A world ruled by people who know how to use magical powers is disadvantageous to commoners without talent, or something….”

“…… !”

I was momentarily shocked by her words.

This story… Something looks familiar.

But is it okay to leak information about other customers so carelessly?

“Maybe… “Did they even say something like they were going to change the world?”

“Huh?! How did you know… ?”

“… ….”

I received unexpected information.

“Are people like that still around?”

“Yes. I heard they’re scheduled to come for another two days… “Maybe it’s there right now?”

“Aha.”

“Huh? Where are you going?”

“I’m going to go to the bathroom for a moment.”

I put down the drink I was holding, opened the door, and hurried out.

If the prediction is correct… They are the Dark Demon Church.

I don’t know if he was an executive or just a member, but after hearing what he said, I had no choice but to come forward.

It was a terrible thing to do, but to get information, I passed through each room and overheard the sounds beyond the door.

‘Huh! Brother… ‘It doesn’t go that far!’

‘Stay still, b*tch!’

“… ….”

I guess it’s not here.

It continued to pass by.

‘Oppa, can you really feed me?’

‘Of course! ‘Even if I only earned 10 silver coins today!’

“… ….”

It’s not even this room.

There was a time when I kept passing from room to room, acting like a drunk who couldn’t find his room because I was worried that I might get suspicious if I stood still for a long time.

‘… Transport her to her Duchy of Brace? ‘For what reason?’

‘They said it was because of the altar.’

My steps, passing by numerous rooms, pause for a moment.

‘She… ? ‘Who is she?’

I hid behind the wall and listened close to the door.

I decided to listen more.

‘Ha! Part of me wants to set an example and get rid of it right away. I really don’t know what purpose the higher-ups have.’

‘I agree too. Somehow, the more I work here, the more it seems that the higher-ups have a different purpose than the rebellion of the country….’

I was shocked by the conversation in the room.

You are transporting her person and causing a rebellion in the country?

When it comes to this topic, the possibility that was previously suspected has become a strong possibility.

Are they members of the Dark Demon Church?

‘I need to go to the bathroom for a moment!’

‘Uh. Go slowly! … ‘I’ll be playing with this one.’

‘Ah….’

The sound of footsteps waking up and trudging.

I was surprised and quickly pretended to be walking down the street.

Immediately after that, the door to the room I was eavesdropping in swung open.

“Ugh….”

The man who opened the door stretched and walked slowly toward the bathroom.

‘… Should I call Emile?’

Acting alone causes confusion between Emil and me.

But… This was a golden opportunity that came suddenly.

When I heard the conversation, there was a strong possibility that it was the Black Demon Church.

When will they go to the bathroom again?

Perhaps, you can go to the bathroom and leave right after eating.

‘Yes, this is an opportunity. Let’s move.’

I pretended to walk down the street and followed the man who was going to the bathroom.

He opens the bathroom door and goes in.

Fortunately, there seemed to be no one in the bathroom.

If I go in, it will be him and me. There are only two.

As soon as he entered, I calmly opened the bathroom door and went in like a normal person.

And….

-Crash.

I locked the door.

“… ….”

“… ….”

As he was about to urinate, his hand suddenly stopped moving.

The air current suddenly changed.

And it was that moment.

-Shhh!

-Dang!

He thrust a dagger at me.

But I reacted immediately and struck out the dagger with the sword hidden at my waist.

In a moment of panic as he lost sight of the dagger, he quickly aimed the sword at his neck.

“Ugh….”

“As expected, it was the Dark Demon Church.”

He hesitated because of the sword pointed at his neck, but he had already been pushed against the wall and had nowhere to retreat.

“Who are you? “Are they the princess’s henchmen?!”

“You know how to blow a drink. “I had doubts until now.”

“Such a murderous bastard!”

“Move a little more and I’ll cut you.”

“…… !”

These were not empty words.

I brought the blade of the sword closer to his neck.

Blood flowed from his thinly cut skin.

… These guys are real bastards.

A bunch of bastards who kidnapped someone in the name of their beliefs.

There was no reason to treat him warmly.

But that was then.

Suddenly, the member of the Dark Demon Church began to quip.

“… “Why are you smiling?”

“Do you think you won?”

“…… ?”

What are you talking about?

That was when I thought.

“…… !”

An intangible black energy began to waver from my right hand, which was holding the sword.

‘Dark magic… ?! ‘When did it happen?’

There was a slight cut on his right hand.

It looked like a wound from when I struck out the dagger earlier.

“hahahahaha! Now if you want to kill me, try killing me. I never go alone! “Stupid guy, let’s get along together!”

“… ….”

An intangible black energy was gradually seeping into my skin.

It seemed like black magic to regurgitate Danjeon using the same method as last time.

I silently touched the waist with my other hand, which was aimed at the sword.

-Pababat!

Then, the black energy that was penetrating my body lost its power and dispersed into the air.

… I again calmly looked at the man in front of me.

“hahahahaha! Ha ha ha ha ha! hahahaha… huh?”

“… ….”

He laughed for a while and then stopped laughing.

As time passed and I didn’t feel distressed, he made a stupid expression on his face, not knowing what was going on.
