41 – Episode 38: Port City Tilans – 3

“He said it was Isabelle.”

“What happened? Korean?”

“I’m sorry to say this, but when are you planning on going back… ?”

I opened my mouth with difficulty and asked Isabelle.

It is said that we slept all day yesterday because of the pursuit team, but we are at the point where the funds are slowly running out.

I heard her circumstances, but apart from that, if I let her stay here, I have to pay for the extra person, which creates a financial burden.

Right now, I’m thinking about charging Isabel for the repair cost for the door the chaser broke down, but the extra cost here was too much of a burden.

Isabelle tilted her head.

“I said that it will be paid to you. case.”

Isabelle rummaged through her rucksack and then began gesturing for my hand. When I held out my palm, she placed something in my hand.

“goldfinch… !”

“Korean I get that. Then my… ”

“No, I can’t take this.”

“why? This is a fair amount. Korean It’s okay.”

Isabelle asked me back as if she didn’t understand.

No matter how much I lost my conscience, I still held on to a bit of conscience.

It was clear that the repair cost for the door would be less than 2 silver coins.

Still, he was from the same Earth, but honestly, I didn’t want to betray her.

“It is difficult. do not receive Korean. Do I have to repay you for yesterday? how.”

Isabelle had a puzzled look on her face.

“Chop, don’t worry, I have a good way…”

“What is it?”

At that time, when Isabelle and I were at a loss as to whether or not to give or take each other, Kyoko stepped in between them as if trying to mediate.

“First of all, these gold coins are ours! And just help the Yankee while you’re in town!”

“No, even for a week, the amount is too much… ”

“I am satisfied. I suggest that. accept. japanese girl very nice. smart.”

Isabelle grabbed Kyoko’s hand and shook it as if she was satisfied.

It was as if the contract had been concluded without a chance to stop. Kyoko was laughing, as if the word “smart” made her feel good.

To be honest, one gold coin was a little too much, but Isabel seemed satisfied, so I nodded and put the gold coin aside.

Putting this aside for now, we decided to hurry up with our next schedule.

It was to purchase the necessary items to go to the fairy forest.

“First of all, we have plans today, so we’ll go to the village.”

Just because I met her, it was inevitable that I would not have to carry out the plans I had conceived. So, we stood up to buy supplies for the fairy forest.

Then, Isabelle smiled and stood up.

“I will go too. ask you accompany”

“I’m going with you… ? uh… I think it’s going to be a little difficult because there’s that chase team too. If you just keep your luggage here… ”

“If you can’t see it, just your face. it’s okay. Keep your 1 gold coin obligation. Korean.”

Since he had already received the gold coin, he couldn’t say anything more.

I regret it a bit, but it seemed like she would accept it again even if I gave it back.

In the end, I had no choice but to take Isabel, who was smiling, and headed to the village.

…

“I’m sorry, but I can’t craft fairy lanterns right now.”

“Why?”

“Among the ingredients, I need dungeon bat blood, but it just ran out.”

I was faced with a very difficult situation.

The news was that they couldn’t make a fairy lantern, which was necessary to survive in the fairy forest.

“Then, when will production be possible?”

“I can’t make it even if God asks me if I need it until two weeks later at the earliest, until the supply arrives.”

The shop owner answered me with two fingers.

It was embarrassing for us, who had to go to the fairy forest in a week, let alone two weeks.

“Is there any way? We must use the lantern next week. Is there any other store that sells fairy lanterns besides this one…”

“There are no other stores. In this town, only my store makes them.”

I vigorously scratched the back of my head in embarrassment.

It’s a dangerous place, so even if you go fully prepared, it’s not enough, and you can’t bring the key items.

This was a huge minus.

“If you’re really in such a hurry, it’s not like there isn’t a way.”

“Bah, is there a way?”

“You just have to catch the cave bats yourself. If you go out of this town and walk for about an hour, you will come to an intermediate dungeon. Catch some from there. That’s the only way.”

It is true that it is urgent, but the intermediate dungeon is a dungeon of a scale that has never been challenged before.

Is it really okay to enter with our skills?

I stood there for a while and began to think seriously.

“Do not worry. Korean I can use it. divine power. to be. helpful to you.”

Then, as if she had noticed my thoughts, Isabelle started talking to me.

“It’s divine power… ?”

“That’s right. But, it is required. A bit of casting Time.”

It’s divine power.

I had heard of it, but it was a power that very few people could use.

Because of that, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

The situation is different if there is someone who can use divine power.

It was rumored that the holy magic they used could provide healing and various buff effects, greatly increasing combat efficiency.

“Then Isabelle, can you help us?”

“Of course. trust. only me.”

…

So we headed to the dungeon, and we were wandering around looking for dungeon bats.

If it was normal, it would have been a bit cold due to the cool air unique to the dungeon, but now I was able to continue exploring comfortably thanks to Isabelle’s body temperature maintenance buff.

“Rin, up there!”

At the same time as my cry, Rin’s spear pierced the body of the bat hanging from the ceiling. The guy struggled a few times without being able to resist, and then his life was cut off.

“The shop owner said he needed about three, so now I just need to catch one more.”

I said as I put the carcass of the dead bat into my backpack.

Thanks to Rin’s long spear, he could easily hunt bats, so he seemed to be able to get out quickly.

“Hey, there’s just one more. Rin, that too… ”

In my field of vision came a cave bat sitting on the floor, feeding on dead monsters.

I pointed to the bat and tried to ask Rin one more time, but Kyoko shoved me away and started running forward quickly.

And, soon, he cut the bat with great speed and accuracy.

I couldn’t even utter a death sentence, and the bat split in two.

“Chop, did you just see it? The power of the samurai of the Empire of Japan?”

“Yes, Kyoko, you did well.”

I praised Kyoko, who spoke confidently with her back straight, saying that she did a good job.

“By the way… ”

“What’s the matter?”

“Th-we need bat blood, but I don’t think we can take the one that was split in half and spilled like that… ”

Kyoko was taken aback by my words.

He seems to have some skills, but it was really disappointing that he lacked the brain to use him decisively.

After a little more searching, we found one more bat. After easily killing the bats, we started going outside.

It was around the time I was making my way towards the entrance.

At that moment, Rin stopped walking and stopped us with a slightly angry face.

“Wait, wait.”

“What’s wrong? China girl?”

“Isabel, why is it only me… Why don’t you just apply buffs to me!”

Rin began to argue with Isabelle, and shouted curtly with a disgruntled expression on her face. After hearing that, she was the only one who was shaking slightly as if she was cold.

Lin frowned and looked at Isabelle.

She was staring at Rin with a somewhat happy expression.

Predictably, Isabelle was waiting for Rin to object.

“I finally noticed! Chinese girl! You wanted to try it! one test. it does very important. If you do not pass, there is no buff.”

“A test, what do you mean… ”

“question, do you play China? love.”

Isabelle raised the corners of her mouth and began to ask meaningful questions to Lin, as if she was so happy that Lin finally responded after putting up with it.

“Everything, of course. I love my country very much… ”

“So, do you remember?”

“What do you mean… ”

Rin swallowed dry saliva and questioned Isabelle in response, as if she felt an ominous feeling.

Isabelle heard the answer.

“1989, Cheonan… ”

“I-let’s stop talking about this.”

Isabelle smiles and opens her mouth.

Before she could finish her words, Rin hurriedly turned her head away in response.

“Why? This is just a Test. I don’t understand. Any reason? special?”

“that… ”

“Chinese girl, not good. face color. why?”

Isabelle smirked and pressed her face close to Rin’s. Rin somehow avoided Isabelle’s gaze and kept her mouth shut.

This is obviously kidding.

Isabelle seemed to have a lot of fun teasing Rin, so after escaping from the dungeon and coming out, she continued to argue with Rin.

Rather than bickering, Isabelle was asking Rin a sensitive question as if it were fun.

So we reached the Tillans checkpoint again and queued up for a while to go back to the village. Then Isabelle started calling me, pointing somewhere with her finger.

“K, Korean? there…”
