Chapter 55

My Villains Episode 055

15. The Fools of the Boat Horned Inn (2)

“Keep it off-”

I walk out alone with a refreshing stretch in the morning....

For some reason, my face feels sore.

The owner, who was rolling beer kegs at the bar, the newly hired young maid, and the guard soldiers who were seated at a table near the entrance to Nomido were all looking at me.

..well, I’ve become quite a celebrity.

Not only did he make a name for himself in the Battle of the Docks, but he also completed an impossible mission and received a reward directly from the lord of the castle.

His nickname is still ‘The Bloody Prosecutor’, but... being famous isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Thinking so, I moved to the empty table.

“Oh Mr. Luke?”

“Phoenix-kun.”

Mr. Luke, looking somewhat tired, was sitting at a table. I quickly put my butt on the seat across from Mr. Luke.

I still couldn’t look at Mr. Luke’s character sheet. It was a little strange to think of the fact that Ellen got a tab right away after meeting her.

Judging from the fact that Utequai’s tab isn’t added, I don’t think Luke is the only problem. What are the conditions for being able to see the character sheet?

“You look kind of tired. Did you not sleep well last night?”

“...Uh, that’s what you mean.”

“Even if Uani Hatanka did something weird-.”

Berserker ‘Hatanka Utequai’ was staying in the same room as Mr. Luke.

After arriving at the inn at dawn yesterday, he hadn’t slept and drank until the evening.

When I got up late and came down to the first floor, I was completely drunk and passed out.

Well, co-workers, family, or whatever, everyone close to me is dead, so it’s not something I can’t understand... I’m just worried that I’ve caused trouble to Mr. Luke, who shares the same room.

However, Mr. Luke shook his head with a wry smile.

“No, that’s not it. No matter how good of a business he is, there’s no way he can stay sane after drinking forty beers.”

“Forty cups? Did you drink that much?” For reference, the beer mug at the Boat Horn Inn is roughly 6,700 milliliters. But you drank forty cups of it?

So, he drank almost 2 30 liters – is that something a person can do? ...Well, considering Utequai’s size, it might be possible.

Just in time, the owner who served Luke’s food shook his head.

“I’ve never seen anyone pay silver for a beer.”

“Haha-”

“What’s even more absurd is that it wasn’t enough, so I got one more. They say you drink like a whale.”

Mr. Luke shook his head as if agreeing.

Ah- did you give me money for this?

Seongju gave 30 gold coins as a reward.

Actually, I didn’t expect to receive this much. Because the agreement was to receive five gold coins as a down payment and ten gold coins as the balance.

The fact that he received such a large amount of money was the result of Seongju’s courtesy.

Of course, it’s a little hard to see that goodwill is pure.

It seemed like a performance that was very conscious of Prince Ulkar.

Wouldn’t it be because he wanted to show that ‘I have such an excellent fighter under my command, and he treats me very well!’?

But strangely, they didn’t hire long-term workers?

I thought of something to refuse because I was afraid that Seongju would try to bind me with a long-term contract like Grania’s gang did, but he didn’t even offer it at all.

Anyway, 30 gold coins.

150 in silver and 1800 in coins.

It’s obvious, but it’s a huge amount.

According to Mr. Luke, the annual income of a country landlord is about twenty gold coins.

Just how rich is the lord of a castle who can afford to pay more than that?

Of course, I didn’t gulp this amount of money alone. Mr. Ellen and Mr. Luke also gave a fair share to Grania and Arnal.

...Ah, of course I didn’t say ‘fairly’. I’m not a communist

How can they be divided into 5 equal parts when their abilities and contributions to the mission are completely different?

So he distributed six gold coins to Ellen, five to Luke and Grania, and four to Arnal.

What about the other ten chapters?

Of course I ate.

In fact, inside A, I tried to take half of it.

No matter how much I think about it, I think the contribution of the other four would be similar to mine. Looking at it really objectively.

But – I decided to wait.

The reason why his eyesight is reddened and he is thirsty for blood is because the desire latent in Phoenix’s blood ran amok.

“ha.”

I roughly folded the paper and crumpled it into my bag, wrapped it in a half-cloak, and picked up my new one shield.

The rawhide covering the shield plate exuded a savory smell, and thanks to that, the pounding heart calmed down.

After unarming, I turned around to see Ellen lying still covered in blankets.

“Hey what are you doing? I have to go out now.”

“...I’m not going.”

“...Why don’t you go? Are you kidding me?”

Hey, why is he fucking up again?

“I don’t have time to mess around, dude. You should go ahead and settle down.”

“You go. I’m not going.”

“Why all of a sudden? Are you not in good shape?”

“Don’t talk to me, just go.”

...Ah, I think I’m going to curse.

The reason I wanted to leave the inn now was because of the letter from the informant.

According to the letter, at sunset today, the infiltrator of the city would move with his men.

According to the letter, he said he would greet him with a green flag, so he might be able to capture evidence.

Of course, I’m not going to do this alone.

I handed over the obtained letter to the chief of the guard. It also came with strong advice not to report it to anyone, even the lord of the castle.

The captain of the guards probably had hundreds of his men hidden all over the city by now.

Since the commander of the training camp, who also serves as the commander of the gate guard, was informed, there will be no shortage of troops.

If everything goes according to plan, the 4th pick of this chapter, ‘Unveiled Witch’, can be defeated without difficulty.

Then the boss battles will be easier and you will naturally catch Kingpin Ubar.

...In a situation like this, Ellen is acting like this, and I’m very annoyed.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Are you sick?”

“No, just go.”

“hey. Look into people’s eyes and say something. I can’t hear you well because you’re mumbling under a blanket.”

“Hey Ellen.”

“Yumma! you Jin.”

slap!

This guy is finally responding... Huh?

“Uh- did you cry?”

“no it’s not.”

No, it’s not a horn. There’s a caterpillar sitting on your eyelid.

It’s 100% when you see that his eyes are red and bloodshot. I haven’t seen Ellen cry once or twice, so I wonder if I’m confusing this.

“...What is it?”

“Stop worrying and just leave.”

Eyes as cold as the way he speaks. It seems that he is very angry.

Ellen’s face is full of life when she is irritated or whining. Because the eyes are large and the changes in facial expressions are varied, emotions, whether negative or positive, are felt clearly.

On the rare occasions when he smiled or sang in a bright voice, or even when he was sleeping peacefully, he seemed like an angel.

And sometimes, when I’m really angry and I’m serious, my elaborate features harden like ice.

The expression on her face was so clear that she looked like a doll or a statue that had lost its vitality when it was straight.

At such times, the face as white as milk, the rosy cheeks, and the flawless blond hair feel unfamiliar.

I hated that.

After taking a deep breath, he took off his helmet.

“What are you complaining about?”

“... how many times do you say that? Just go.”

“A colleague told me to go without asking or asking, but how can you ignore it? Don’t tell me to go blindly, tell me why.”

Even at my insistence, Ellen kept her mouth shut.

...Actually, it’s not that I don’t have any guesses.

As I said before, Ellen did not know how to hide her feelings.

In addition to that, I’m usually a bit quick-witted. The 30 years I lived as Kim Seung-soo were literally Eul’s life.

“Is it because you slept with Daria?” He didn’t say anything, but I could infer his answer just by looking at the floor and biting his lips.

A boulder landed heavily on my chest.
