I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

86 – Ezerina’s identity

Ugh-!

Three people and a human figure appeared in an empty alleyway.

“This is…”

“One of Karabog’s alleys.”

I moved my feet out of the alley while talking to Ezerina, who was looking around in amazement at the sudden change of environment.

Ezerina follows me carefully.

After a minute or so, we came out of the alleyway and what caught our eyes was Karabog’s mercenary guild, a huge 7-story building that drove away the darkness of dawn with bright lights.

“Eggplant. Your sister’s wounds have already been healed, but since she literally came back to life from the brink of death, she must have accumulated considerable physical and mental fatigue. If you rest in a comfortable state, you will come to your senses much faster. … It seems to have recognized it.”

Remembering the lodging function in the mercenary guild, I took Ezerina, who looked up at the mercenary guild and started to stagger as if her tension had started to relax, and entered the mercenary guild where a loud sound leaked out.

Woong Sung Woong Sung-

When I entered the guild, there was a somewhat cluttered yet bright atmosphere in the guild.

The mercenaries cheering by lifting large beer mugs above their heads with carefree faces, the minstrels cheering up the atmosphere by playing exciting performances with the instruments in their hands, sighing in relief and taking off their full-body equipment. Even the mercenaries who are paying…….

I looked around at the mercenaries, and found Kitrin, like the other mercenaries, pointing out the guild receptionists with a bright smile, and moved towards it.

“Ah…! Mistiltein-sama!!! You passed away very quickly! I heard all of Mistilte-sama’s activities through the communication from the rescue team that just arrived in Sacree Village! It’s really amazing! Besides…”

“I’m sorry to interrupt you, but can I rent a room for you?”

Kitrin meets my eyes and greets me with a bright smile.

I inevitably interrupted her as she continued, and told her to borrow her room to stay.

“Yes? A room for lodging? You can rent it for now, but…”

“Then, could you send the two of us to the room later?”

“If there are two people in the back… Oh my, Ezerina!”

“I saw you a few days ago… It seems like I haven’t seen you in a while, Mr. Kitrin.”

I glanced at the two people behind me, and Kitrin, who followed my glance, opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Apparently they knew each other, Ezerina with a weak smile on her lips bowed her head once towards Kitrin.

“Oh my God…. When I was promoted to silver rank a few days ago, I was very healthy, but why are you in such a state… No, I don’t think this is the time to ask that. Cria! Come on, take those two to room 401. !”

Looking at Ezerina, who looked exhausted at first sight, Kitrin covered her mouth in amazement. She hurriedly took out one of the keys hanging on her wall and said to one of the receptionists next to her, handed over and said

“Yes…? But lodgings of the 400th and higher are only available to mercenaries of platinum rank or higher…?”

“There’s no problem, hurry up! The kid is about to collapse!”

“Yes, yes! Come this way, you two!”

“Yes? Now, wait…! I still have something to say to Mistiltein…!”

The receptionist, who had been expressing her doubts while blinking her eyes, took Ezerina quickly to the stairs on one side of her, embarrassed at Kitrin’s strong urging.

Ezerina looked back at me while being dragged away in bewilderment by such a receptionist.

I used , [Whisper of the Wind], To transmit sound to Ezerina, who was staring at me with clear intent to say something.

-I’ll visit you later, so take a break for now.

“Wow…?!”

Ezerina blinked her eyes as if slightly startled by her voice suddenly heard in her ear.

‘I had to share her story with her at least once anyway.’

I’m looking for Ezerina who disappeared over her stairs… No, she nodded her head inwardly, recalling the ‘marking of the strategy book’ floating next to Rina Eji.

The first time I saw her in her cavity, I only saw brief information about her because her situation was urgent, but….

Because I was so surprised that even that brief information made my poker face shake momentarily.

Those are the information written on her next to her when I first saw her.

Each one was an unusual title, but…. What caught my attention in particular was the last title, 《The Eighth Bishop》.

‘In other words, she is not an ally, but a ‘enemy’ position.’

It is also said that it is one of the ‘main bosses’ that you must encounter as you progress through the game.

‘… However, according to what I’ve observed so far, she’s not someone who would voluntarily enter the Demonic Church.’

Then, how did Ezerina become one of the pinnacles of the demon cult in the future?

‘That’s right, I didn’t go in with my own feet, but ‘forced’.’

What would have happened if I hadn’t raided their secret hideout today?

Her younger brother would have died without surviving, and Ezerina would have been dragged away and cursed with the name ‘baptism’, becoming a fanatic who would sacrifice everything for her demon god.

‘It must have happened that way in the game.’

Now, in terms of games, it’s very early.

At this time, no matter how excellent a user is, he or she will not be able to reach the level of a superhuman, let alone the current me.

And since it is absolutely impossible to defeat Zenitz, who was her senior follower, and rescue Ezerina with such a character, it must have been certain that Ezerina would become the eighth bishop.

‘But that future is gone.’

Indeed, countless coincidences and luck overlapped, breaking through astronomical odds and finding a miraculous result.

This was such a great thing that even a child could tell that one bishop, who could be said to be the most powerful force of the Demonic Church, had disappeared, even if he simply thought of it….

If you think a little deeper, you can see that it is a tremendous thing ‘enough to affect the future continent’.

‘The fact that she became a bishop means that her future is gone ──’

──This is because it means that the ‘tremendous damage she would have left on the future continent’ would also ‘all disappear’.

It was more than just defeating one bishop of the Demonic Church.

“…Umm!”

Just as I was lost in my thoughts, Kitrin’s little clearing of his throat lifted me out of the sea of thought.

“Mistiltein. First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you as the temporary representative of the Mercenary Guild of this Karabog branch.”

Her When I turned her gaze to her, she erased her usual bright smile and was looking at me with a serious face.

“Mistiltein stepped forward and accepted an urgent request before anyone else, and saved Sacree Village and the mercenaries in crisis faster than anyone else and with superior abilities.”

A serious voice leaked from Kitrin’s mouth as she bowed her head deeply, resonating inside the guild, and the noise within the guild gradually subsided.

The attention of the surrounding mercenaries has already been focused on Kitrin with his head down and me in front of him. Not paying attention to that, Kitrin continued talking.

“To pay homage to Mr. Mistiltail for his goodwill and courage, I present ‘this’ in the name of Kitrin, the temporary representative of the Mercenary Guild in the Karabog branch.”

What she took out was a ‘platinum grade mercenary plaque’ engraved with the name Misteltein in elegant cursive.

“Whee~ik!”

“Congratulations!”

“Being a platinum mercenary in 15 days, this seems like a new record even with other mercenary guilds!”

“Thank you very much for rescuing our family in Sacree Village, Mr. Mistiltein!”

.

.

.

When you accept the mercenary plaque, cheers from the mercenaries burst out from all sides.

At the cheers of the mercenaries and the bright smile of Kitrin, who had returned, somehow a satisfied smile was painted on my lips.

******

After receiving congratulations from the mercenaries for a long time, I visited Ezerina, who was resting in the lodging room, and looked at the title I had acquired by becoming a platinum-level mercenary.

Title: Platinum Grade Mercenary

Rating: B+

Description: As a mercenary, a grade that can only be obtained by mercenaries who have proven their trust and skills to the mercenary guild and their clients.

– In any region, you can gain more than a certain amount of trust from the residents.

– (Mercenary Quest) quest point rewards are increased (1.5 Times).

– You can receive a ‘special request’ with a low probability.

‘Well, these are all not bad effects.’

The first effect, gaining the trust of the residents wherever you go, was an effect that was not insignificant in mercenary activities.

Basically, even if you go to a town that tends to exclude outsiders, you can get the cooperation of the residents quite obediently.

The second effect was also quite, no, very good.

The more store points you can use in the system store, which has pretty much everything, the better.

‘I’ve already seen the effect of this.’

Because only the points obtained by obtaining the title and completing the ‘Emergency Request: Save Sacree Village! (B+)’ exceeded ‘50,000’.

At this point, you need to complete at least 10 gold-level quests (before you get the title) to get them.

I was able to get a lot of points at once, including emergency quests with higher rewards than normal quests.

And the ‘special quest’ that can be received as the last effect.

This is not an ordinary mercenary request that any mercenary can receive, but only a mercenary designated by the requester…… It’s like a kind of ‘nomination request’.

‘I remember receiving it a few times when I played Est Saga as a mercenary.’

Basically, these quests have higher rewards than normal quests (and lower than urgent quests).

Sometimes, rather than points or money, ‘something special’ came out as a reward.

… Well, it was really rare.

“This is it.”

Smart-

I knocked at the door with the number 401 written in front of me.

“Yes, please come in.”

I heard Ezerina’s voice from inside the door, so I opened the door and went inside.

The interior of the room was quite luxurious.

Not flashy, but neat furniture, scented candles that spread a subtle scent, and even a bed that can sleep three or four people. It was literally better than most modern hotels.

After taking a quick look around the room, I approached Ene, who was lying on the bed, and Ezerina, who was sitting on the chair next to her, and opened her mouth.

“So, what do you mean you have to do to me?”

“Ah…”

Ezerina made a small voice saying that she did not know that she would get straight to the main point in response to my question.

Push-

── Suddenly, she knelt down and bowed her head at me.

“──Please accept me as your subordinate.”
