Chapter 36
Episode 36:
An excuse to go to a good restaurant.
We acted as usual when we brought them in.
When I came out to the city, I bought snacks and snacks along the way as I saw them for the first time.
I went into the store and looked at various items.
To show that we didn’t notice that we were being followed, we slowly entered the secluded area, taking a long time.
“Is there a good restaurant in a place like this?”
“yes. They say it’s a place only people who know go to. “It’s a very remote place and it’s not easy to find unless you know someone.”
“It must be comfortable.”
There won’t be any good restaurants she’s talking about.
At least if you were a local living here, you would find a contradiction in her words.
The place I ordered her to was a place where there were no people.
She led me to a slum near the wall surrounding the city.
‘They say they were brought in from outside….’
If we were locals, it would be normal to know that the place we were heading to was a slum.
And he would have even known that there were no good restaurants in that slum.
No matter which city you went to, slums existed, and for those cities, slums were a disgrace.
In human terms, would you say it is the same thing as the appendix?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it, it’s inconvenient if you do.
Lawless zone.
Public power did not work in slums.
Even the guards who maintain security do not interfere in the slums.
That meant that it was a place where one could not be sure of safety.
No one was brave enough to open a store in an unsafe place.
Not only will there be no customers, but people from the slums who are hungry for food will attack.
Therefore, visiting a good restaurant in a slum was contradictory.
The locals would have known that, but those following us did not know that.
They focused on what they were doing without any doubt.
That’s how we arrived at the slums.
The people who lived there looked at me with strange eyes.
Some people showed signs of murder and hostility, but they did not approach quickly.
Because in their eyes, I must have been too noble.
Even the clothes are different. I was wearing pure white clothes with gold jewelry, which did not match the drab slums.
“It would be enough here.”
I stood in an empty lot in the middle of a slum and twirled my shoulders.
The poor are hated by the nobles. That’s why most nobles didn’t want to come here, and even if they did, they didn’t bring just a maid like me.
Otherwise, all the maids brought in are powerful.
But unlike him, it would be difficult for Ellis to stay in the slums without my help.
Because it is weak.
If two or more people from the slums attack her, Ellis will be helpless.
And if they see any opportunity from me, they will pounce.
Even though it was such a dangerous place, there was only one reason I came here.
‘It doesn’t matter what I do here.’
It is a place full of only poor people.
In this place where there are no guards, no one cares if any crime occurs.
[‘The nameless god’ looks at you and his eyes sparkle.]
Yes, I’m looking forward to it too.
Since he was following me, I wanted him to show off his skills.
If you get knocked out all at once, there’s no point in dealing with it.
Perhaps because I haven’t been able to compete properly recently, I’ve become secretly frustrated.
Although it is said that he relieved his stress by beating up the iljin.
Fighting a strong opponent was a different matter.
“come out.”
“…!”
He said while looking towards where the agents were.
I could feel their surprise.
His reaction was that he didn’t know I would notice.
And perhaps out of fear, they did not show up.
It seems like they hope they are talking about the poor.
“If you come all the way here and don’t know, you’re really stupid… There’s a restaurant in every slum in the world. “Are you scared because I followed you without even knowing that?”
As I clicked my tongue and spoke, the alley shook and several groups appeared.
Masked people jumped from the roof, and masked people poured in from all directions to surround the area.
One of them came forward and spoke to me.
“How did you know?”
“You call that a question? Asking something obvious. You’re looking at me so blatantly. “Not knowing is strange.”
“He’s different from the rumors.”
“Because rumors tend to be exaggerated. And then you start talking about when you saw it. “Baby.”
“Ha… I guess he doesn’t understand the situation yet. “Are you not seeing us in your eyes?”
“You can see it clearly, kid. Let’s see. One two… fourteen people? “Hey, I had something to gain, so they came all the way here.”
“ha ha ha. “He’s got a lot of guts.”
“So, when did you call me a bastard just because I saw you, you idiot?”
The masked man closed his mouth.
Even without looking at his face, I could guess what his expression would be like.
“He’s not a guy you can listen to in words. catch!”
“It will happen a long time ago. “Why are you talking so much?”
He said to Ellis with a grin.
“Stay right behind me.”
“yes.”
The movements of the masked people were visible. No, I felt it.
My five senses were alerting me to their attack.
Two in front, three in back.
Crash.
I gently pulled out the knife with the thumb of the hand holding the sheath.
Huh.
He dodged the attack by moving to the side and swung his right hand, striking him in the face.
Then, he used his left foot to punch the guy next to him in the stomach, then reached out and grabbed Ellis’ collar and pulled her back.
Huh.
The sword narrowly grazed Ellis’ face.
I looked at Ellis’s expression as she was sent behind me, but she looked quite relaxed for someone who almost died.
In that split second, our eyes met.
Unwavering eyes.
Her eyes were full of faith in me.
Eat.
When I looked into those eyes, I smiled without knowing.
Shouldn’t we at least repay this trust?
Fuhuaak.
My sword came out like a thunderbolt and cut off the throats of three men at the same time.
The surroundings fell into silence as a series of situations occurred in the blink of an eye.
“…!”
It was just one breath.
In terms of seconds, 5 seconds? No, not even 3 seconds passed.
The masked people rushed at the same time and five of them were hit without them realizing it.
Their eyes on me become complicated.
They looked among themselves and made signals.
Is this possible?
Didn’t you say that guy was incompetent?
They knew me.
Even though he knew, he followed him and attacked him.
Because I was confident.
I’m a fool who can’t use magic.
It was clear that they had no idea that a guy like that would beat them.
Definitely win.
There will be no harm.
The moment that trust was broken, they no longer saw me as prey.
“why. “I guess something isn’t going as planned?”
Even with my provocation, he was unable to move.
That’s how strong the impression I made was.
“Then… I’m going.”
He kicked the ground and rushed at them.
Sigh!
When I swung my sword, one person fell.
As if it were natural.
They couldn’t resist at all.
When five more people fell and only four remained.
They would have realized only then.
“What is this? “I can’t even exercise after eating.”
The target was not me, but them.
“This isn’t it. “You should at least show the confidence you showed just now.”
They know that they are not predators by saying,
“Let’s try again. I’ll go slowly. Let’s do it right.”
That the predator was me, not them.
I smiled wildly at them.

Raina’s treatment is over.
The therapist left the dorm, saying he had some business to attend to.
“What do you want to eat. “Do you want to eat something?”
“Um… I want to eat duck meat.”
“duck meat…?”
“huh!”
Mahol closed his mouth at Raina’s words.
And I thought about the money I currently have in my pocket.
The price of duck meat is three times more expensive than pork.
Not only is it very difficult to find, but it is also difficult to cook and there are no places to sell it, so the price is very high.
In some places, it was equivalent to his monthly living expenses.
Considering that, eating duck meat was impossible.
Considering the money I received from Raymond…
“Okay, let’s eat!”
Suffice. It wasn’t enough; it was overflowing.
Raymond gave me enough money to eat duck meat for a month.
So, even if you want to save money, it would be okay to eat duck meat on a day like today.
Raina’s health is improving, so you can be happy.
“I’ll buy it and bring it right away. Hang in there.”
“Yes, come back!”
Is it because I thought I could eat duck meat?
Raina’s face brightened greatly.
With that feeling in mind, Mahol went into the city and headed straight to the restaurant.
There was a restaurant that specialized in duck, and fortunately, there were few customers, perhaps because of the price, so I was able to buy it right away.
I ran back to my dorm with my hands full of duck meat.
I opened the door to my dorm, thinking of my younger brother who was waiting for me.
Tuk.
The duck meat I bought with great enthusiasm was rolling around on the ground.
It was dusty and no longer edible, but Mahol didn’t care.
“Les Reina!”
Mahol stepped on the duck meat and passed by.
His eyes wandered mercilessly as he headed toward the second floor.
The first floor lobby is a mess.
The lobby was very clean until we left.
Evidence that there was an intruder.
“Reina! “Reina are you okay?!”
I quickly opened the door to the room she was in.
And it was frozen in place.
“How are you?”
“Where have you been and now are you coming back? Leave my sick brother alone. “Thank you for waiting a long time.”
I saw Reina shivering, covered in a blanket.
And I could see the troop sitting next to him and the troop surrounding him.
Jones was nowhere to be seen.
“Ah…”
He always thought he had to be patient while dealing with the Iljin.
But I couldn’t do that now.
My younger brother was trembling among them.
It hurts. My younger brother was supposed to be comfortable, but he was trembling in fear because of those guys.
“Ah…”
Her face became clearer.
There were red handprints on my skin, which was once white from not being exposed to sunlight.
Because they were so fragile, even the slightest stimulus felt big.
Those guys stabbed my younger brother, who had such a weak body.
“But your brother. “He doesn’t listen to me.”
“Give them proper education. uh?”
The string that was barely holding on was cut.
I can’t bear it anymore.
I kept hearing voices in my head.
“Aaaah!”
Mahol felt his vision darkening.
Wow!
Run away too!
Their screams could be heard faintly.
No way!
I heard my younger brother’s urgent voice.
I could hear it, but I couldn’t hear it very well.
I felt floating, as if my body was submerged in water, and the sound I heard was humming.
And then I came back to consciousness with the feeling of someone reaching out and grabbing me and pulling me up.
“…!”
And my body stiffened in surprise at the scene unfolding before my eyes.
The entire room, except for the bed where Raina was on, was stained with blood, and the soldiers were piled up like bricks in the corner.
