Level: 8
Occupation: Innkeeper
Skill: Haunted People
Is the occupational field just accommodation work?
I wonder if it won't be listed because I'm not profiting from hardware or anything.
What worries me more is the race. Are you a human and a ghost?
You mean you can be a ghost by your skills?
I don't want to change it, but I checked [edit].
Yeah...... the content is literal. He said he could greatly increase his combat abilities by becoming a ghost.
Earlier, my buddy said she was a ghost, but I'm not kidding.
I learned at school that ghosts are highly capable of fighting and even children can beat human adventurers.
I want to make sure I don't piss you off.
I want to do well with them.
◇ ◆ ◇
Keep more LP as you fight Es.
Look for delicious Getestuff restaurants during the day.
I go in and out of the store a little sexy at night.
I can afford it financially, so let's do these two things. Well, I wonder about the latter, but I can't help but save LP efficiently.
In the afternoon, I also want to explore the daily life of Es. To the extent not suspected, of course.
So I first asked [The Great Sage] to tell me where Es is. I don't want to use this a lot either. Unless you have Emma.
Es worked in a small butcher on the border between the aristocratic and commercial districts. I hide in the shadows and observe. He plays apron and treats customers with love.
Looks like someone else from yesterday.
I have completely different eyes. Sometimes before noon, shops flourish.
"Get out of the way, you guys!
There are people in the line who have been interrupting.
Three soldiers. That gear, that's the same gear as the soldiers in the castle.
They don't seem to care about the disgruntled faces, and they rant.
"Huh, what about that rash? It's not an attitude toward soldiers you've come to buy out. Who the hell thinks you're protecting this town? Answer me, you powerless cunts!
Wow......
How can I be so uncomfortable? There's something that leads to an obnoxious nobleman.
The inhabitants seemed accustomed and reluctantly gave way to the order.
"Ooh Micarda. Same old favor today."
"... Yes"
Ess fills the contents with large quantities of meat and gives them to the soldiers. It seemed like a fair amount of money, but few gold coins were given by the soldiers.
"Now it's only half."
"Then give me half the price"
"Oh no... then the store can't do it!
The soldiers went into incredible action against Es who protested naturally. Pull him out of the store, and the three of us will beat him to pieces.
People come together but no one comes in to help. I watch closely too. [M]
Es are stronger in ability, but they don't resist.
I guess it's because I'm playing the weak to not find out with Es.
"Whatever it takes, it's too harsh."
"They're always like that."
My grandfather, who was nearby, reacted to my whining.
"You have a slightly different vibe. A traveler?"
"Yes. Are they always what they are?
"Neither do they, but the king and the nobles are terrible. Soldiers serving the king are also highly voter-conscious."
When I heard more about it, I found it to be a more powerful town than I imagined. It seems that taxes have been particularly heavy since he became king today, and residents are struggling.
For once, it was that attitude toward me.
Just a resident, I guess. Feel free to behave.
I'm also convinced it's rumored all over town that he's the worst fool king in history.
"Micarda is a really pathetic young man. My sister has also been caught up in aristocratic plays and died."
"What is aristocratic play?
"I'm sorry, but that's it. Don't let it get too deep. That's the trick to enjoying sightseeing."
When the soldier's assault ended, Grandpa walked away, too. Some of them are embracing damaged es.
For a moment, I also left the field remembering that I was an enemy, although mercy had sprung up.
Go to a nearby tavern to gather information.
They can also have lunch, and it's busy indoors.
Speak up around adventurous middle-aged men.
"An informant familiar with the circumstances of the town, don't you know?
Some were surprised not to deal with me, but others cast doubt on me.
"I know, but why?
"There's something I need to know. Can't you tell me now?
If it was cheap liquor, he told me pleasantly when I gave him a couple of drinkable coins. The jaw tip indicated it was the manager of the tavern, so I was a little surprised.
"That guy's got a situation. I was in the former intelligence unit, and I quit and I was in a liquor store."
"Thank you"
I just want to head over right away, but now the store is crowded, so don't. If they ask you questions that have nothing to do with your job when the store is busy, it's on your mind.
I guess I waited about an hour.
Vacant seats also became noticeable in the tavern when the people who finished their lunch left. At that time I spoke to the shopkeeper.
He is around fifty years old and has a sinister beard with an all-back.
"I need to know something. I'm talking about Mr. Micarda's sister."
When I told him I was ready to pay the consideration, the store owner responded to my request softly.
Micarda...... What is the aristocratic play that caused Es' sister to die? That's what I asked.
The owner led me to the back of the store.
I guess it's something I can't talk about in the store. Near the garbage dump he lights a cigar. That's a little dangerous, though. The fire is frightening ~.
I comply because they asked me to pay in advance.
Forehead is enough to stay overnight at the inn. I guess I can say it's a critical conscience.
"Noble struggle. We met. Let royalty and nobility use their pets to battle. The winner gets a prize or something. I realize it's a good idea here, but pets are..."
Looks human. Specifically civilians, who are not combat-trained.
Mercenaries and adventurers are out of the question, and healthy adult men don't deserve pets either.
Basically a woman or an old man or a child.
Are adult men who have been severely ill allowed as an exception?
Force them to fight with such civilians as pawns... no, kill each other. That night clubs packed with such evil are held twice a year.
"You can pass through anger."
"You're young, Bowes. I used to, too, but I've seen too many dirty worlds, and now I can't move my mind. I think giving up is the most important thing in life."
I shut up, but I didn't agree with him. I refuse to live that way. It's better to be dead watching your loved ones add their fingers even if they choose to be pets.
And I can easily imagine that Ess' sister had miserable eyes.
"Didn't Mr. Micarda go to help his sister?
"There's nothing I can do. One day, suddenly, he gets kidnapped. It's the soldiers who are doing it."
The shopkeeper told me that he had retired from the soldier because he was disgusted by the actions of his former colleague.
There is one winner of the Noble Fight. One of the survivors is lucky and deported from the country. Bad luck can make you fall into slavery.
Those who lose naturally die.
Most of the time, the bodies seem to be dumped outside of town.
The very existence of the aristocratic struggle is a hidden thing. Well, it's poorly managed, so I guess it means it's leaking to some people.
It's hard, hey.
I ask the owner, unable to hide my agitation.
"Where do you think there is justice..."
"Justice is not always one. I guess that's why you fight, the creature. Bowes, I know you're intrigued, but don't go too deep. Now keep your curiosity full."
After all, the words of people who are old and experienced are heavy. Besides, it also tells me that the owner is not a bad person. Maybe that's why I couldn't continue to be a soldier.
I'm in a dark mood. [M]
I can't even keep you distracted, so I pay the store owner an extra fee to tell me about the restaurant.
There are two rare restaurants, the first of which leads to the first.
I ordered fish dishes. Then something salted and fermented the herring.
"Kusa!?
Smell so intense that it comes out of your mouth unexpectedly.
That leaves the clerk to leave the plate and run.
By the way, the guests around us escaped too!
"Is this really something to eat!?
A waiter in the distance answers my question by making a circle with his arm.
"I smell something coming out of my lower body though!
The waiter just makes a circle out of his arms.
I get worried that my thoughts have been done.
Carry the smaller fillets to the dreaded mouth. I wonder if the fish god will allow this to happen. I'm sure you won't forgive me.
"It's rotten. Ugh!
I sprayed a fillet from my mouth. [M] The momentum was tremendous and hit directly in the face of the waiter who was far away.
The waiter fell without screaming.
I'm sorry about that.
- I left the store with my white eyes peeled off.
It was the worst development that they took extra money as a nuisance fee and no LP in either.
I turn to the second house because I want to cry. [M]
Next up is the Mass Dining Room. I'm not just urinating the rare dishes, it feels like a few dishes are mixed inside a regular menu.
I asked for lizard skewers and fried spiders crunchy and done.
You're always thrilled while you wait.
"Thank you for waiting"
I baked it as it was! Fried! It's such a rough dish. But it doesn't smell. That's all I can try.
The lizard has quite a few bones in the way. If you're a spider, you can have a shaky sweet feel. Especially the leg area is brittle and easy to eat.
Taste is, spiders are sweet and delicious.
They had it on sugar water before they raised it.
If you're a lizard, it tastes so good. The bones do get in the way, but the flavors are great, and the meat is moderately tight.
It suits my taste and I asked for a replacement.
I'm glad it's not expensive either.
"Is the LP 800? It's good to be here."
Thanks to the first store, the flavour may have been more accentuated. Thankyou, herring!
I won't eat it again, though!
◇ ◆ ◇
Eating food and going to a sexy store continued my life of LP saving for about two weeks.
Thanks to this, I have also become quite used to life in Castle Town. During this time, we also continued to monitor the ES properly.
He lives a plain life every day.
It does not harm royalty or nobility, nor does it destroy soldiers.
Get into the butcher's job and get along moderately with the neighborhood.
You don't look like a bad person at all.
Moving as an Es is when you find someone with outstanding abilities. Of course, [Brainwash] is used to keep company. It just seemed like you were sorting them out a lot.
I'm not just strong. Something else. Is it personality?
Because [Brainwashing] will expire if we don't meet regularly, or rent a building for a rally over the weekend.
That fight brother went in, too, I'm sure.
Exactly, I couldn't do it because I was afraid to go undercover.
"It's time to set it up"
Staring at the ceiling of the room, I am determined.
LP is already 11000.
I did my best to save.
Ess goes to the nightclub two or three times a week, alone. It just seems like I want to drink.
I'd like to aim here. A concern is skill. I haven't kept him close enough to confirm the contents of [Free Run]. Because I don't like being able to remember my face.
But with all this LP, I think we can deal with it.
"Nor, wake up. Breakfast is ready."
Mr. Naina came to wake me up.
"Always helpful ~"
"I made a special big deal out of it. Because it's a growing season, and we're going to discuss Es together sooner or later!
She recognizes me as a comrade. Looks like that's what happens to people who want to discuss Es. But I keep my distance. [M]
I don't feel the same with them. I want to get back to the country soon, I want to see Emma and everyone - that's my motive.
But they are all about vengeance.
A little, I'm afraid it's going to affect me. And Es should also be moving with revenge again.
If someone kills Alice, I can't forgive her.
"Did you get anything on him? Don't you know where or what?
"We're searching now."
"Oh well, let's do our best. And there's a man from the castle."
Copy that, sir.
I don't have eyes on Naina with a smile, I go down to the first floor.
I haven't told them where Es is.
I want them alive as much as I can, but they want to kill me. Members, including her, will not be handed over to the country if they catch Es.
We stop our breath roots with our own hands. Absolutely.
So I'm going to act alone. [M]
There were a few soldiers in the garden, so I'm going out to the back yard of the inn.
"What would progress feel like?
"I'm going to set it up tonight or tomorrow, if Es swallows it at the tavern"
"Do you target drunk places? Not bad. Do you need the help of soldiers?
I get lost in responding. I also want you to lend me a hand, but there is also the possibility that Es will brainwash me and make me an enemy.
"I'll try it alone first. However, it would be helpful to get restraints etc."
"Okay, let's get it delivered by noon. Then there's Ess."
"Shh."
I block soldier conversations.
Because I felt signs of people behind the door. Running and opening the door, there was Naina, who looked surprised.
They were eavesdropping. I know you want information about Es.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it would be cold because it was a cow if I wanted to eat."
I wonder how far they've heard the story. The door is pretty thick, so I think it's okay.
I made eye contact with the soldier and I decided to go on for breakfast. Rest your body until noon and receive the rope from the soldiers who have come again.
It is made of a special material and even the holder of rigidity can't escape if tied up.
I put this in different spaces and I'm going to check on Ess.
"There you are. Always, thank you, uncle."
As a butcher, he's a really good young man. Guests also like it. I went back to the inn and took a nap once because there didn't seem to be any particularly strange movements.
It's nighttime, and we're on surveillance and tail again. When he closed the store at eight o'clock at night, Es took a trip to the liquor store.
"Yeah, today. I knew it was today."
Wins and losses will be decided tonight.
That makes me nervous to think about it......
Two hours later, Es came out. Footprints are normal. Aren't you swallowing too much? Es goes back the way he came. Along the way there is an alley.
I made up my mind when I came in. [M] There are no people, and the size is surprising. That's where it's easy to fight.
Pack the distance and speak to Es from behind.
"Es, let's face it with me"
"... how did you know I was an Es?
Ess looks back slowly. The face is separate from the butcher's shop owner. My breathing gets rough with cold eyes that can't feel the temperature.
You shouldn't have had intimidating skills, but this pressure?
"I have an appraisal eye"
"You'll notice if they get close to a valid distance and stare at you.... well, you were then."
I'm talking about when I finished my aunt who stole my wallet.
"You need money for backlash blade activity, don't you? But it's too much to kill a sleigh as long as it fails."
"I'll have legs. Above all, it's no wonder that woman was killed."
I ask what that means, but Ess gets a knife out of his nostrils without answering. Is the blade crossing about thirty centimeters? Activate the [Item Appraisal Eye] immediately.
[Strong Knife Rank A Skill: Strong Blade]
As for the strong blade, it is also in my blade sword. The sharpness and durability are different for blades that have this and blades that do not.
Ess is coming straight ahead.
I take a knife calmly with my sword. [M]
I think my arm as a dagger is way below Emma's.
I don't have dagger skills. Let's just be careful not to get slashed.
I wave my counterattack sword down louder.
"Mmm."
Ess gives a harsh look at being slashed in the clothes, though he did so in the backstep.
If you're in close proximity, you can do it right! Instead, I might be better off. [M]
"Your arm looks great. I want you to use that strength for me."
"I can't. What you're doing is a crime."
"Nobles and kings are no different from criminals. They prank the innocent. I want to save this town from the wrong ruler. I want you to help me."
The glitch distorts my vision for a moment. Even more boggling in my head. Ess' calm voice echoes into the core of his brain.
I need your help. I need your help. I need your help. I need your help.
I think I should help him - think back soon.
This is the effect of [brainwashing]!
I was able to return to normal immediately because of the difference in level and the skills of my mental system.
I'm glad I got it.
"I would have been happier with brainwashing in it. Now you have to die."
Atmosphere or intent to kill leaks out of the es. At the same time, a purple build-up of water appeared beneath my feet. I'll be right back. This is the move where the burglar aunt was killed.
Es are launching a series of attacks.
"Damn, stone bullets......?
You want to float the question mark because there are around ten stones floating near the es. This is not a [stone bullet].
One stone after another flies in.
Avoid it or play it with a sword, but it's pretty tight. I thought I had managed to prevent it, being approached and slightly slashed in the arm.
Excellent cut, how good would it be if I could afford to say something like that? Strangely enough, Ess didn't chase him, but took a distance from me.
- Basha!
The next moment, the water comes down from my head and I get wet. [M]
"What?? What???
Thought it was rain, but it's not rain today. Rain wasn't water in the first place. I'm a little relieved that there doesn't seem to be any immediate poison or anything like that.
"Can we avoid it this time?
Ess smiles invincibly. He flew the stone again, like he just did. I see. Operation to weigh your clothes with water and blunt your movements.
It's okay. If you don't even lose your normal mind, you should be able to play everything - your vision? No, my body's shaking?
When I checked the scaffolding, the cobblestone ground was waving. I don't have time to be stunned by unusual phenomena. A stone larger than an adult grip strikes.
The direct hit was...... three shots. First the biceps and thighs of the left arm. Naturally it hurts, but it's the last shot that's serious.
"Ugh..."
When I hit the temple, I collapse whilst yolo. The floor is not rippling anymore. I don't think it's a serious injury, but I have bleeding and blunt pain.
If they target us with a knife, they'll kill us. Stand up against your body. Ess was, for some reason, out of breath.
"Ha, ha"
I use [edit] to find out his other skills.
[Running free]
"Bring imaginary phenomena to life. It is not possible to act directly on organisms. The more abnormal it is, the more concentration and stamina it consumes.
That's enough to make me scream.
It's pretty vicious that the imagination becomes real. Is it salvation not to be directly poisoned or paralyzed? And I also found out why Ess was out of breath.
I am tired because I have used it continuously. I'll have seen a gap for once. But I haven't recovered enough to move smartly either. So [edit].
'Wake It Up In Reality' Delete 25000 LP
Expensive...... Sounds like you can't destroy your skills. And Ess' breath is settling.
"My arms seem to stand. Then stop moving."
One arm stretches out of the left and right building and grabs my legs. It looks like a human arm, but it's much longer. The grip is also considerable. You're imaginative!
I amputate both arms and run in the opposite direction to S. I want to pull back and put measures back in place.
"Let him go."
One arm stretches out of the building after another. Fearing, I slip and jump away from my arms. [M]
Out of the alley, a few arrows flew in from the front. Suddenly from a space of nothing. I was in a hurry, but I let [White Flame] out of my hand and bake.
You've acted calmly.
Isn't that pretty good for me?
Run all the way down the street, checking behind you. Though Es came out of the alley, he never tracks us any further.
I guess it was a stamina issue and you decided you couldn't catch up. Thanks -......
Don't get distracted for once, they even came back to the inn. My chest is bugging. The inn had Naina to clean.
"Nor? You're bleeding out of your head."
"Hit the building on a dark road. It's no big deal, so I'm fine. Good night."
"Ugh, yeah, good night"
I can't say I've been fighting Es. You decided not to use the help of her or her companions. When I get back to my room, I paint the wound pills where they hurt.
It's getting stronger once it's creeping through the training grounds. The wound is no big deal. It could be more of a mental damage.
He said he could do what he imagined in real life... it would be too sloppy!
I fall asleep in bed and think about what to do.
I can't break my skills, but I might be able to weaken them.
Or [grant] to add to the person. Give me an idea. I'm tired, and I'm gradually getting outta here.
I feel a heavy eyelid. [M] I really don't want to fight much. I have some sympathy for the situation of Es.
It's ridiculous to have an aristocratic fight. But I can't do anything about it. You mean the level is higher but still helpless?
"I wonder what's right"
I shrugged and closed my eyes.
Soon the consciousness becomes distant and falls asleep.
I heard a heavy, low voice about how long ago.
- The fairy tale has a hero.
