“What do you mean?”
Yurgen frowned at my words.
“I’m just saying that even if he puts a knife or threatens my neck, just watch.” I repeated what I had said a little while ago.
Yurgen, who had a puzzled face for a moment at my feminine answer, soon realized that my words were sincere and asked back with a serious look.
“Are you serious? There’s no way that the guy who runs this place wasn’t crazy. You may hear dirty words.” Yurgen spoke quickly in a low voice.
It was a word of concern. Of course, I also knew that it wasn’t a very good idea.
How cruel are those who have a close in the dirty world behind them, and how these people have a strong tendency to ignore women?
“Well, that’s right. But don’t worry too much. Because everything is planned.” I shrugged my shoulders and replied in a casual way.
Of course, I didn’t come here without thinking and a proper plan.
The reason I’m ranting so much was because I have some beliefs. The Monster core that I asked from Yurgen earlier.
Because that’s what the owner of this place was looking for.
Boom!
When the conversation between Yurgen and I stopped for a while, a heavy sound echoed loudly inside the wide underground space.
It was the sound of the ogre that Thane had knocked down to the floor.
However, as he knocked down the Ogre, Thane seemed to have been injured a lot, and he was barely breathing with blood all over him.
“Yurgen, how many healing potions have we brought?”
“There are ten intermediate and five advanced ones.”
I breathed a sigh of relief at Yurgen’s answer. That would be enough to heal Thane’s wounds.
“Take care of yourself, I’m not going to treat these beasts.”
By nature, beasts are far superior to humans in their ability to regenerate.
That’s why, in this damn fighting arena, wounded beasts are not treated and then left alone to die.
Then one day some get better. At that time, the host appeared again to announce the end of the day.
It was after the stage, which was already full of blood and dents, was cleaned up.
“As expected, even ogres are no match for the wolf beasts we are proud of in our fighting arena! How was it? If you were satisfied with the fun things you’ve seen today, please give us a round of applause!”
At the same time, applause erupted from all over the audience.
The host, who dismisses this madness as just a fun spectacle, and the people who come here to enjoy it.
All of them were disgusting enough to make me vomit.
‘Someday, I will make all these places disappear.’
Of course, it’s almost impossible on my own.
“But wouldn’t it be all right to borrow a little power from the family?”
I quietly clenched my fists, promising the future a few years from now.
“Then I’d like to thank you for coming here today, and I’m leaving now.”
With the sound of firecrackers exploding again, the host disappeared, and people began to leave their seats one by one.
“Lady, how are you going to meet the owner of this place? I don’t think he’ll show up easily.”
Yurgen, who leaned slightly toward me in the audience seat that gradually became empty, asked me softly.
“If we stay until the end, we can meet the owner. Of course, it will require some gambling.”
“What? That’s…!”
Yurgen, who was going to say something as if he was speechless at my strange answer, glanced around and whispered.
“You should have told me about that earlier. And what else do you need to gamble on?”
As I glanced to the side, I noticed that Yurgen’s forehead was crookedly wrinkled.
It seems that Yurgen’s forehead is never straightened. I decided to go out a little more brazenly.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t think I had to tell you ahead of time.”
At my proud reply, Yurgen looked at me with a shocked face, as if at a loss for words.
Yurgen rubbed the back of his neck for a moment, possibly to relieve a headache, and then asked me in a chilly tone.
“I’m sure I’ll never help you with anything like this again. Did you know that?”
“I see. I won’t do this again anyway.”
Sitting with a stiff serious expression, he waited for a long time for the people to leave.
All of a sudden, it was just me and Yurgen who were left in the vast underground space.
“…No one is coming. Maybe it’s a failure?”
“I don’t think so. He’s probably looking over there as well. The owner of this place is surprisingly cautious.”
Of course, this was information that was commissioned by giving money to the information guild.
The top that Yurgen and I set up has already become quite famous, so this amount of money could be used lightly.
After that, I waited another ten minutes or so.
“Today’s competition is over, but what are you staying up to?”
A man appeared in the air in front of us.
Covering his face with a mask, he was the host who led the disgusting performance.
“Well, of course, there must have been something else I wanted to see.”
I opened my mouth with an arrogant and overbearing attitude.
Then the host began to giggle at a strange angle.
“A beautiful lady speaks in a very elegant way. It’s very tempting.”
“It’s not you who I have to deal with, it’s the person behind you.”
“I suppose he is, but I don’t know if you’re qualified to meet my master?”
I shrugged and clapped my fingers at his words. Then a sharp wind blew past the host’s head.
At first glance, it looks like nothing happened.
Crack~
In an instant, with the sound of something breaking, the host’s body collapsed to the floor.
Yurgen’s body, sitting next to me, trembled slightly as he looked like a doll with a broken thread.
“I think I’ve proved my qualifications. Do you want to come out now?”
At the same time as my words, the space where we were sitting was distorted.
My stomach, which had been shaking for a while, calmed down, and the scenery unfolding before my eyes was the appearance of an office that could be seen anywhere.
It was just me and Yurgen.
“…The magic circle.” Yurgen muttered a little.
I walked over to the sofa in the middle of the office and said in a casual tone.
“Well, that’s how you get to the next space, and you’re not a very good magician. Don’t you think so?”
At the same time as I said, the wall behind the desk opened, and a man wearing a rabbit mask stepped out.
“Oh my gosh, I’m sorry. Forgive me for not getting to know you properly.”
He took off his hat to greet me with an exaggerated gesture and then walked over.
I pulled my chin in a relaxed manner and patted my hands.
“Well, you came first.”
“Haha, it was still a doll I cherished, but you were relentless with your little fingers.”
“You want me to joke to prove my qualifications. Wasn’t it appropriate?”
“Well, let’s put that aside. Do you want me to give you tea first? It’s been a while since someone visited this place, so I can’t hide my excitement.”
“Then tea would be better,”
“Yes, alright.”
The man wearing a rabbit mask popped his finger. Then a masked servant appeared in the air, clattering and quickly offering tea.
“Would you like black tea, too?”
When asked by the man, Yurgen shut his mouth firmly.
He seemed to follow the words I told him not to say anything.
“Okay. You should only eat what you’re given. It’s rude not to offer anything, right?”
I sipped a cup of tea and answered.
“Oh, dear. I almost caused you another trouble.”
At my answer, the man smiled as if it was funny, but waved his hand and the attendant standing next to him disappeared.
“Now that you’ve had your tea, shall we get down to business?”
“Good. Do you like to be straightforward?”
“From time to time. Of course it is still welcome.”
I replied in a casual tone to the sly rabbit mask. “The wolf beast. I came here because of that.”
In my answer, the rabbit mask man seemed puzzled for a moment and remained silent.
“…Hmm. As you know, we don’t sell beasts at our fighting arena. Since they are our precious family, we can’t sell them just to make money.”
After a moment of silence, I nodded my head with an expressionless face at the words that the man in the rabbit mask spit out.
“I know that much.”
“Are you saying that the reason you came here is because of the wolf beast?”
At the man’s words, I raised one corner of my mouth.
Because of the mask that covers only half of the eyes and nose, my smile will look good in front of the rabbit mask man.
“If you see what I’ve brought, you’ll be tempted, too.”
I took out the leather pocket I had kept in my arms, and waved it gently in front of him.
The rabbit mask clearly looked at the round, large and heavy leather pouch.
“What is something that will appeal to me? I’m ashamed, but I have a lot of jewelry.”
I snorted at his words, “I’m afraid I’m the only one who will bring you this kind of jewel. Well, you’d better see this for yourself.”
I put the leather pocket that was rolling in my hand on the table between the rabbit mask and me.
The rabbit mask’s head, which followed my fingertips, tilted slightly.
He seemed to have realized my intentions for a moment, then grabbed the leather pocket with his white gloved hand.
I paid attention to my expression again and maintained a calm posture.
“Oh, it’s better not to think about stealing it. Then I won’t be able to sit still.”
In my words, the rabbit mask’s hand, which had been opening the pockets, stopped.
“I’m a gentleman. It’s against my beliefs to take a lady’s stuff.”
With a strange laugh, I pulled up the corners of my mouth and laughed.
“You never know. If you see what’s inside, you might reveal your true nature.”
“Hmm. You don’t seem to trust me. I’m sorry that you couldn’t trust me.”
He was speaking in a soft tone, but he must have been offended.
Because that pervert really thinks of me as a gentleman.
