Chapter 136

It’s a tight world.

It is not a fantasy world of dreams and romance, but a reality fantasy, so there are many monsters and crazy people, and there are many people who suffer from such people and have a hard time making a living.

Considering that there are many people who die young without a chance to hold a knife in their lifetime on such a subject, it may be more common than you think to become a thief or a robber if bad conditions overlap.

still. Still.

If you grit your teeth and look for it, it is also a place where you can somehow find a way to eat and live. After all, that’s what people live in. Out of the many methods, these guys just chose to catch and sell other humans who, unlike themselves, are living well or trying to live well.

I mean, they’re the ones with no room for extenuating circumstances.

“And I just decided to kill them all!”

In a world where everything except my salary rises, I am forced to change jobs as a slave who is tired of life and has no human rights in a difficult yard, a livestock slave who had to live on a meager salary? At least, if the slave trade is legal in Ethiel and they play within the bounds of that law, I would have left them alone, because this is unforgivable.

“Where the hell did that madman come from!”

“Crossbow! Get the crossbow...!”

When they saw a thief from afar, shouting a crossbow and turning around, hit by an arrow shot by Asilier from the tower and following the leader on a hankyu, their movements became urgent.

“Fuck you’re not alone! Arrows flew from the tower!”

“Wait a minute, then the captain...”

I understand the urgency, but no matter how far you are from me, if you look away, you’ll use it. I don’t know what kind of confidence I have in the yard where I die one by one with every swing of the sword.

“It’s already gone! I’ll be looking for a place for you to lie down in the underworld, so hurry up and help me!”

“Aaaagh!”

There is no system, no purpose. Those who sold others just to live their own lives act according to their nature as soon as the captain disappears in a sudden attack.

Whether there are 30 or 40 of them, it’s just a nuisance and no threat.

While I was diligently harvesting the heads of the thieves like a farmer reaping ears of rice, the five thieves banded together and started fighting against me, forming a square. The problem is that what he is holding is not a shield, but plates that can barely imitate a shield. The only real shield is the one the guy in the middle is holding.

“What? Are there any deserters? Did you weave a dustproof rug?”

“Who are you! Who are you to suddenly appear and do this!”

The word confrontation is cancelled. It seems like it’s just a struggle to live somehow.

Does it matter who I am here? If it’s really important, I’ll catch him and cut off his arms and legs. At least, even the act of the guy raising his voice while holding the most shield-like shield was nothing more than an escape from reality in my eyes.

“I don’t introduce myself when I’m killing everyone. It’s meaningless, right?”

“Suddenly committing a massacre!! You talk like that!! You know who we are! Do you think you’ll be safe if you kill us all?! The bandits around here are a coalition! The news that they attacked us As soon as this spreads, dozens of thieves will turn on their eyes and rush to kill you! Even the nobles looking after us will try to catch and kill you!”

her. since the union There are so many different things about bandits. Still, I felt honored that he voluntarily informed me of information that was not in the document, so I decided to answer at least one of his questions.

“You’re friends with less learning ability!”

“what...?”

“Don’t you feel anything when you see that I killed your captain as soon as I got here?”

“I don’t think it would have been a bad idea to leave him alive to find out information.”

“Anyway, if I tell the spirits, I think I can figure out the location of the thieves in the forest, so I just killed them.

Low-level adventurers who are not much different from village bullies or those like them still have room for rehabilitation, but those who catch and sell people are not the subject of negotiations from my point of view.

“And if you answered, did you intend to give me a potion?”

“I said I’d give you a potion, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t kill you. I tried to heal and then kill you.”

“That’s right... appropriate torture for those who catch and sell normal people.”

“of course.”

Still, since we destroyed one of the bases, we decided to rob the dead people’s pockets and the boss’s tower, so we acted quickly.

To be honest, these guys’ equipment was in better condition than I expected, so contrary to my concerns that I might have invested most of the money I earned from trading with slave traders in equipment, the chest I found under the boss’s bed contained a significant amount of silver coins.

“It’s probably worth about one gold coin? I don’t think the quality is that great, but there are three potions.”

“The size is also large... Maybe it was quite a big thing among thieves.”

“It’s fortunate that I was able to reach out and pull out the roots like this.”

Other than that, there were some pretty usable equipment, but I decided to give up on bringing them. At a time like this, it would have been nice to have an inventory like in a game, but bags with storage enchantments were terribly expensive, so we didn’t have them.

It’s really, really attractive to have all the stuff that’s about the size of a full outfit fit into a pouch the size of my fist, but I’m kind of blown away by the price of 20 gold coins.

“Ah. Where does the bag with the storage magic not fall?”

“Poop.”

“Where in this pure wind are you laughing because it’s funny? Teacher?”

“No. I suddenly thought of the old days.”

“Think of the old days?”

When I asked if there was a funny episode of someone trying to find a bag enchanted with storage, what came out of Ashlie’s mouth was, surprisingly, a memory shared with me.

“The first day I met Eldi. The thieves made a fuss over the nothing sword and claiming it was a demonic sword.”

“Ah, then. That’s right. It was.”

“At that time, when I saw those who were making a fuss about the demonic sword, I thought without knowing what kind of idiot was walking around with a demonic sword.”

“Hehe. To be honest, I thought that too.”

Looking back, even those moments that were so tense are memories. The day will come when you will feel this way. After all, years are years. I started to be proud of myself for living hard as well as my growth.

At that moment, Asillie held back a laugh and said something that destroyed my boldness in one cue.

“But now that Eldi suddenly said that, it seemed like they overlapped with them.”

“......”

It was a stupid sound that couldn’t even be refuted, so the smile that was trying to spread on his lips was absorbed by recalling memories and using his pride as food.
