Duke, Please Repent! chapter 258

48. A passing relationship with the Duke (1)

It seems that the train of the Terrarum Kingdom can be called a subway. What kind of tunnel has so many tunnels?

Of course, like the country of dwarves who worshiped beauty, they did not leave the dull tunnel unattended.

The interior of the tunnel was decorated with colorful magic lanterns, so there was no boredom of repeating the same scenery.

The long, dazzling light stretching out from the car window of a moving train is a picture of one width, and it is a spectacular sight.

But I fell for that beauty only for a while

As I kept watching the dazzling lights twinkle, I felt dizzy and my head was spinning.

Serpens calmed him with divine power, but it could not be a fundamental solution.

I used my divine power all day to tell Serpens to watch the lights twinkle.

It's humanly impossible to make them do it.

This is a report from the Labor Office.

' Above all else, I think it's really bad for my eyesight.

In many ways, it was concluded that it would be better to close the curtain and look at the sacred stone.

This does not mean, however, that all the time I spent on the train was spent looking at the sacred stone. We made friends by playing simple card games or playing Blue Marble games that I made with Yammae.

I don't do anything that stands out

I tried, but I had no choice.

It's not that there aren't any board games in this world, but most of them were of the brainy kind.

'I guess it's the noble hobby of aristocrats.

If it's a head game, it's like the winner is decided.

There are also dice games that rely on luck, but it seems that they are only played in gambling houses.

Although he couldn't teach the growing Serpens a healthy play culture, he couldn't teach gambling.

That's why I made the wild Blue Marble at the expense of the troubles and doubts.

"Thanks to Shion, we had a lot of fun."

As I approached my destination, Euges smiled brightly and said to me who was putting away the game board.

Of course, what I was most concerned about was Eugene's suspicion, which would have taken out Blue Marble. But fortunately she didn't suspect anything.

Is it because I usually do a lot of strange things?

Or raise your serpenes correctly

Did you know that I want to tell you?

Maybe it's because it's made too wild, and there are sloppy parts here and there.

In fact, we played the game by adding a golden key card or adjusting the toll balance.

For those reasons, Euges seems to have thought that I had devised a game that even Serpense could enjoy comfortably.

'Serpence warned me not to do anything strange, but... .'

From that moment on, he was the most active in calculating money.

There was not even that common bet, and I used fake money that was only a piece of paper, but I had a lot of fun.

'If I get hit with this composition, only me will die.

Swallowing bitterness inside, he finished tidying up and rolled the curtains.

The train came out of the tunnel and was running under the sky instead of on the ground.

Even though it had been a long time since I had seen the sky, it was foggy and difficult to see.

'Is it because it's a basin?'

The knowledge of geography learned in school flashed through my mind.

It was a pity that the sky could not be seen due to the fog, but this is not bad as it is elegant as it is.

The moving train seemed to slow down gradually and came to a halt.

We have finally arrived at our destination, Calyps City.

The dwarves formed a city according to their interests, and the city of Calyps, where we arrived, is mainly a place where weapon makers gather.

"Serpens, have you thought about which craftsman to entrust to you?"

When I got up from my seat and asked Serpense a question, I frowned, putting the pamphlet he was looking at into my arms.

Ummm... I guess I'll have to look at the weapons I've made and decide for myself.

The pamphlet was purchased from the train attendant, and was filled with self-introduction under the guise of a Dwarf craftsman.

Everyone wrote that they were good

It didn't seem to help much.

If it hadn't been for the attached map showing the locations of the blacksmiths, I would have just thrown away the money.

Serpence put on a hoodie, kicking his tongue a little.

The frown of the man's brow disappeared under the black hood. When the magic reagent was used again, he carefully tucked his brown hair into the hood.

"My field of vision is already narrowed due to the fog, so what's the stuffy hood?"

It doesn't matter if you close your eyes unless you have combat symptoms.

Are you even impressed by reading a pamphlet full of bragging rights? Who can craft a weapon with their eyes closed?

How well do you walk around with your eyes covered? I suddenly thought of putting on an eye patch. But the time is not right.

Let's do that in narcissism, later. When I open my eyes, I look at the weapon and choose a craftsman.

The words that I said in the sense of not being boring

I didn't mean to close my eyes.

Of course you would.

I took off the Serpence's hood, and he put it back on. The same action was repeated three or four times, saying that the hood was moved over and covered.

As I tried to remove the hood again, Serpens grabbed the hood with both hands.

"It's okay to play, but why not get down and do it?"

Ouch!

As Euges said, first on the train

I'd like to get off

After getting off the train, I dragged Serpent into a secluded alley. Eugenes and Winston followed suitably.

Come on, then, why don't you take off the hood?

Wait! Stop there!

Eh?

As I was about to take off the Serpence's hood, someone ran into the alley and shouted.

Ultramarine hair fluttered in the wind that just blew, fluttering beneath it.

Her bright eyes shone as blue as the autumn sky.

It is somehow like an apostle of justice.

"A group of people trying to intimidate the powerless!"

If any of us are powerless, of course, he's talking about me.

I looked around the faces of the group. Serpence squeezed the hood even tighter, and Eugene and Winston looked more embarrassed than me.

I don't know what that person was looking at and misunderstood, but

is the priority

Are you scared? You misunderstood something.

I put my left arm over Serpens' shoulder to show off my friendship.

It wasn't the height that couldn't be worn on the shoulder, but it was inconvenient because it was high. When I tapped Serpens on the shoulder, he figured it out and bowed his head.

We're really close, aren't we?

Yes, it is.

Did you hear that? So don't worry about it and go your way.

I waved and waved my hands in the sense of going away, but the extra, who was engrossed in the role of an apostle of justice, did not know how to leave.

Rather, he looked at Serpens with a more suspicious expression. It felt as if the end of that line of sight was somehow towards me, but that must have been my misunderstanding.

Maybe it's because I'm too attached to Serpens.

"You're really close right?"

Oh, that's right! You're right!

It's good for people to be just, but

You should be able to separate them well. If you make a mistake, you can't get away with it.

Shaking his head, he tapped Serpens on the shoulder a few more times. This time, he just patted me without meaning, but he lowered his posture.

How the hell are you underestimating my height?

When you say something nice, get rid of it right now!

hand?''

You must have been at least 20 years old? A young man who still has a youthful look on his face

Luke shouted.

I looked down and checked the position of Serpense's hand. He was still holding his hood.

'Did that person follow you because you wanted to see Serpence's face?'

With his right hand, he pulled Serpens' hood all the way, but the hood didn't even move. When my clothes were torn, they were torn, I don't think I can do anything on my own.

It's very expensive!

please....

That guy shuts his mouth a little bit behind the scenes

swallowed He's covering his face anyway, so it's okay to talk comfortably.

Stop it, you scoundrel!

The young man shouted again.

' Yes? Do you think that rude person is talking about me?'

I reflected in my mind what had happened since I entered the alley.

There seems to be some room for misunderstanding. And Serpens said, 'Please, if you're saying the same thing, I can't help but misunderstand you.

'Serpence, you bastard! Did you do that on purpose?!'

Did Humanus, who was in a situation of force majeure, feel this way?

It was natural to think that my gaze on Serpence became sharp.

Thinking I was threatening him, the young man suddenly lowered his posture. Upon closer inspection, he saw his hand resting on the handle of the sword tied to his waist.

If it is, it would mean that even the use of force is immortal.

Reflexively, I saw Winston gripping his sword. Eugene held the bow with a look of disapproval,

I put it on and it wobbled.

'There is also Euges who is an elf, why is there such a nonsensical misunderstanding , Ah!'

Now that I see her, her position is a bit vague. From the angle, it seems that Eugess cannot be seen from outside the alley because it is hidden by Winston's big body.

It's fine now. I'll save you, so don't worry.

The young man said with a serious face.

It's a pity for him, and it's not even funny. No one here can threaten Serpens.

Be a serpence, save yourself

It seems like everyone is trying to protect me from unknown people. I straightened my back and stepped forward about half a step.

Naturally, I became in a position to hold Serpence's shoulder.

He shrugged his shoulders to mean that he should say something without stepping forward.

There seems to be some misunderstanding. The people here are my party. I'm fine, so don't worry about it.

It's like controlling an avatar somehow.

Servata was amazingly aware of what I wanted and said.

"Really? Are you being threatened or "

Even when Serpens said it was okay, the young man glanced at me with a nervous expression. I doubt that I am pointing a weapon at Serpens's back.

This is a great misunderstanding.

It's fine. Nothing to worry about.

Well, then

Perhaps it was thanks to Serpens's voice, which was calm and weak without a single tremor, the young man secretly took his hand from the weapon.

It would have been better to have Serpence come forward sooner. I was confused because of what a powerless person said. This is why prejudice is so scary.

If you ever need help, just tell me.

It's fine. Please, just pass by.

very just and wide

seems to be a person

I don't know what he is doing, but he felt the innate nature of Hogu. Although they misunderstood me as a strange person, it was a good thing.

'I don't know where I'm going to be scammed... ?'

The good-natured young man hesitated over and over whether he was worried about Serpens, so what would he do when he said he was okay?

In the end, the young man went his own way with a look of disappointment at Serpence's constant persuasion.

Hearing our voices, we were worried that a passer-by might come again, so we asked Eugenes for a soundproofing screen.

Bewildered, Eugene immediately summoned the spirit of the wind, and a curtain of air surrounded us immediately.

If I had shown my face like that from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened.

If you hadn't said anything strange, there would have been less misunderstandings.

I also said it strangely, but no matter how I think about it, today's MVP was not me, but Serpense.

Why the hell are you trying to hide your face? We didn't even come here secretly, so what if we get caught?

Isn't it set to stay here for a while? If it is known which craftsman is entrusted with which goods and where he is staying, there will surely be people who want to visit.

If you can't see it from the beginning, it's because you're in disguise and you can't find it, but if you've seen it and suddenly disappear, it means you're suspicious.

It is said that the accommodation can be changed, but you can change the craftsman in the midst of making weapons.

because there is no

"You still dyed it, didn't you?"

Isn't it just a change in hair color? Anyone who knows my face will recognize it right away.

It's not an empire, and if you recognize it from a foreign country, how much can you recognize it... Isn't it enough to wear thick horn-rimmed glasses like last time?

"For that "

Serpens frowned and looked somewhere. His gaze reached the entrance of the alley through which the young man Oji-rayap had passed.

Uh, did you know someone?

During His Majesty's fiftieth birthday banquet, he came as an envoy.

How many years ago was that?"

"From now , about five years ago?"

When you say it like that, it means that you've only seen it once.

If you have a Serpence-like face, I think it will remain strong in your memory, and if you say no after disguising yourself, it might be okay.

it's really ambiguous
