CH 48

“Ha!”

I look around.

An old man sitting in a daze beside me.

The other men froze and looked at the stage.

What is this situation?

I mean, was I maybe in the same state myself just now?

I’ll check my status.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Ragnus Zweig.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

It doesn’t seem to be a condition.

Or rather, ……, did the level reset go into effect?

It’s true that the show was late at night, so it looks like we straddled the date without realizing it.

Gently closing the status, I check my surroundings again.

The place was silent, and the audience didn’t move a muscle.

As I remained helpless in this bizarre situation, one of the men unexpectedly stepped onto the stage.

“This is the end of the performance. Please come back tomorrow.”

The moment he said that, the men around him stood up quickly and all of them headed for the exit with the movements of a sophisticated army.

Oh, my God!

I thought so, and I acted as if my soul had been drained to fit in with my surroundings, and I followed them.

◇

“That’s what happened.”

“I see. That’s a little fishy.””

I managed to get back to the inn and report to Keith who was waiting for me.

Keith took that in and hemmed and hawed.

“But to be clear, I don’t think there’s any connection between this and the skill crystal thing. In fact, it’s a good thing that the benefits of the level reset brought me back to my senses. I think it would be wise not to get any further involved in this.”

“Yeah. I’m with you on that one. I agree with you. ……”

“Huh?”

“I don’t think she’s the kind of girl who would do something like that for no reason. …… No, no, no, no, what am I talking about?”

I shake my head to get rid of such thoughts that suddenly came to my mind.

“Is there still an abnormality?”

“No, it’s just my imagination. Don’t worry about it.”

Yes, it must be my imagination.

Keith’s right, it’s unlikely that this fits with what we’re after.

I’m glad I came back without incident, so let’s forget about this.

◇

“It’s strange…”

“What’s the matter, Luriel?

The Leader reacts to my muttering.

“We’re short one.”

“What do you mean?”

I explain the discomfort I felt to the Leader.

A few days have passed since we returned from the traveling show.

Since the first day, I’ve been sowing the seeds with a glossy dance and checking on the movements of those people, but I’m still missing one person.

The people who sowed the seeds, as usual, attend my performances day in and day out.

Yes, they should have been fascinated.

That person, the only person I cared about that day, I haven’t seen since the second day.

At first I thought I just couldn’t get into a full house show.

But no matter how many days passed, even when I asked the Leader to hastily add standing room, I could not see him.

“Don’t tell me he has escaped from my fascination with ……?”

“Nonsense. It can’t be.”

“I think so, too. But…

I can’t believe it, but that’s what I think.

If that’s the case, he’s the …… I’ve been looking for.

“Leader!”

I turned my hopeful eyes to the Leader.

“Oh, dear. I know what you want to say, Luriel. Do you remember what he looks like?”

I nodded my head.

A possibility I finally found.

Now, this will finally fulfill my long-held dream.

Wait for me, sister.

◇

“I haven’t got a clue.”

I sighed as I sipped a light drink at the bar.

I asked everyone I met while drinking here, but all I got was the answer that they didn’t know.

Even though it’s light, I feel like I’m going to get drunk and feel sick.

Keith said he can’t drink at all, so he’s not the best person to gather information in a place like this. ……

It’s no use, I’ll just pull out for the day.

“Master, bill.

“It’s 2500 Yale.”

I hand the three 1000 yale small gold coins to the master.

It’s a painful expense, even if it can’t be helped.

It’s time to start looking into making money with the guild in this city.

I took my change and left the tavern.

A cold breeze caressed my cheeks as I stepped outside..

This breeze is comfortable for my burning body.

“Maybe I need to take a detour to go home.”

I decided to take a short walk home to sober up.

Instead of the usual path, I went a little further back.

I take slow steps down the dark road.

It was nighttime, so there weren’t signs of life around here.

That’s why, no matter how hard you try to hide your presence, I can’t help but notice multiple people’s eyes on me.

“There’s no one here. Why don’t you show yourself?”

I say this to the void.

Then a few people in robes appeared out of the darkness.

“When did you notice it?”

One of them asks me that.

From the sound of his voice, he’s a guy.

“It’s been since I left the bar. It was just a while ago that I became convinced.”

“I see. I guess I was right.”

The man in the robe says this with satisfaction.

“Well. What are you guys going to do with me?”

“I don’t want to be rough with you. You’ll have to come with us.”

“What if I say no?

“Let me be rough with you, sir.”

I see.

I’ll be ready to activate that skill at any time.

Check the number of enemies again.

Six with large robes and one with small robes.

I don’t know how good he is, but when I see that he can’t hide his presence, I think he’s not a professional in that field.

If that’s the case, it’s probably just a bunch of thugs sent by someone else.

If that’s the case, even a minute is a long time if you I Peerless.

“I’ll make it clear. I refuse.”

I activated the Peerless and assured him so.

“It’s no use. Come on, you guys.”

At the man’s direction, several of the robed people attacked me.

I look at my enemy as I feel the power surge through my body.

I kicked the ground and first lightly kicked Robe A who was nearby.

Without a pause, I lightly strike Robe B, C, D, and E one after another.

Then I kicked a little harder at the man in the robe who was giving them the instructions.

Not more than five seconds have passed in time.

They were instantly blown off the spot and slammed into a nearby building.

“You’re the only one left.”

I say this to the shortest robed person left.

He/she flinched and took a step back, but as if something compelled him/her to stay, he/she clenched his/her fists and took a fighting stance.

It’s quite a gutsy thing for an enemy to show motivation in this situation.

And that guy just gets out of the way and takes off his/her robe.

“You’re …….”

The one who was there was the dancing girl who put a strange condition abnormality on me that day.

Such a petite girl had her sharp eyes on me.
