021 – A thief must be good at hide and seek #5

Garrot couldn’t understand through Brigitte’s composure.

So I decided to go alone.

Although I didn’t like a man named Judas.

Because I sincerely hoped that the child named Naru and the children who went missing with Naru would be safe.

Garrot packed his gear and headed for the underground water canal.

We already knew that the Arubaba bandits were hiding in the underground waterways of Phrygia.

It was when Garot entered the underground waterway with that feeling.

“… It’s just awful.”

There were a lot of corpses strewn about in the underground aqueduct.

It seemed that it had been dead for quite some time since it was in poor condition.

-Grr… .

“… Aren’t you dead?”

undead.

Garot was well aware of this existence.

A cursed necromancy craft created by the evil mage, Valdes of the Devastation.

A cursed being revived through it.

Things that were neither dead nor alive were dismantled indiscriminately along the aqueduct.

“… Did they all break the spine in one blow?”

The skill with which the corpses visible under the torches were subdued was terrifying.

who would have done this

“Could it be Judas… ?”

Even after thinking about it himself, Garot denied it.

No matter how much it was, it was impossible to slaughter all these guys in one blow in the dark, much less in the den of the dead. There’s no way Judas in the gold tier could do something like that.

So it was time to re-establish the hypothesis.

“Ninety-nine… . ninety-nine… .”

I heard someone counting.

It was a rather familiar voice.

Chambang, Chambang-.

As I made my way along the bloody sewer, I saw little children counting in the dark with their eyes covered.

It was Naru and Cecily.

“What about you guys… .”

The sight of children closing their eyes and counting among the remains of flesh and shattered bones was surreal even for Garot.

-Grr… !

The undead with tattered flesh attacked them.

Garot pulled out a small sword and severed the nape of the guy’s neck.

“I’m sorry!”

dump-.

The dead fall to the floor.

If there were a lot of people, it wouldn’t have known, but it wasn’t a difficult guy to deal with at least one person.

The problem lies within that deep darkness.

Whoop, whoop-!

A great earth quake continued.

I also felt a terrible fraud.

It probably belonged to the magician who commanded these dead.

Tizzling-.

Garot’s skin was stinging, and his hair stood on end.

however.

At some point, the tremor completely disappeared.

I don’t even feel the fraud that makes my skin cry.

“hundred!”

And Naru finally counted from ninety-nine to one hundred.

shouted at the same time.

“Since you’ve counted to a hundred, now Naru will find her father!”

Naru seemed unconcerned with these terrifying sights.

Naru runs dodo-do between the fallen dead.

The drenched Cecily followed behind Naru.

“I-I’m going too… !”

Garot also decided to follow them.

After running for a long time, Garot arrived at a place that could be called the origin, where strong energy was emanating.

It was an empty lot so wide that I wondered if it might be a place to collect and store rainwater when it rains.

“Wait, you guys stop here. There might be something dangerous inside.”

Garrot stopped Naru and Cecily and entered the clearing first.

When I lifted my head, there was a large hole in the ceiling, and things that could be regarded as traces of a ‘battle’ were scratching the floor and walls like a big wound.

‘Was it not a battle, but a war?’

Garrot looked around.

She soon found something leaning against the wall.

sereung-.

Garot instinctively pulled out a small sword and aimed it at the opponent.

“you… !”

“Don’t be so vigilant, I am Judas.”

“… … .”

Garot frowned.

Yeah, because I couldn’t believe it.

Covered in blood to such an extent that the original form could not be recognized, it could be called a demon or a rakshasa.

‘It’s not your own blood. Everything belongs to others.’

More than anything, what made Garot nervous was the danger of loudly ringing her ‘detection’. Garrot asked cautiously, feeling the hairs on the nape of his neck become soft.

“Are you really Judas?”

It was an impossible story.

If it was Bendit Judas, no matter how well he hit it, he would only be able to get to the level of gold.

However, it was good to see Judas now as a completely different person.

Shuk-.

The man got up from his seat.

Garot instinctively shouted.

“Don’t come any closer!”

“… What. I knew you would say that. I don’t think I’m in a good shape to show someone. The problem is now at the top. The corpse dragon has fled upwards.”

Woo woo woo woo-.

At that moment, there was a great tremor from above.

Soon Garoth’s sensitive ears heard the noise of people talking from above.

“Black wizard Brigitte defeated the corpse dragon… !”

“As expected, a piece of a hero! Wizard Brigitte saved the Principality of Phrygia… !”

It was a loud noise.

It was when Garot, who had been distracted there, looked around after regaining his reason.

The man’s face was nowhere to be seen.

Chabak, Chabak-.

At that time, I felt a small presence behind Garot.

Naru approached and looked around.

“Dad… ! where’s dad… ? This Naru, can’t find my father… !”

Naru looked around to find her father.

But the man’s figure was nowhere to be found.

* * *

The ground was already noisy.

“This is the corpse dragon that I heard only in rumors… ?”

“… I am afraid that it will appear in my nightmares.”

“Incinerate it!”

The people clearing the remains of the Corpse Dragon were busy moving.

Hwareuk-.

Brigitte put magic candle into a long pipe and set it on fire.

“It was nothing compared to the corpse dragons of Valdes I met on the battlefield. It must be because he lost his master and ran out of control. I took care of it before it got into trouble.”

after-.

Garot approached as he was emitting smoke with a fairly refreshing incense.

“The situation seems to be over. But—”

It was the moment when Garot was about to say something more.

As if people had been waiting, they came towards Garrot and Brigitte.

“Brigitte! If you could tell me something about this case… .”

“Garot-nim! Is it true that you rescued children from an underground canal? The total number of rescued children so far—”

Garot was embarrassed.

Although he defeated some of the dead of Alubaba, he wasn’t the one who destroyed the thieves.

Also, the ‘corpse dragon’ that Brigitte defeated wasn’t really that great either.

The truly dangerous thing is a ‘speller’ who can handle a corpse dragon.

He was the man who had slashed over 100 dead thieves and defeated a necromancer.

It wouldn’t be strange even if it was decorated in a place of history.

But those who didn’t know that seemed to think that Brigitte and Garrot had solved the situation.

“I don’t really… .”

Garot shook his head.

But people didn’t even listen to her.

It was when a man appeared that all the noisy people shut up.

Looking at the man who gave off a bloody atmosphere as if he had arrived from a battlefield, people shut their mouths one by one. And each one whispered a little.

“Is that man Judas?”

“You look like a complete villain. I’m scared… .”

“More than that, what is that? what you’re holding in your hand Is that… .”

Degururr-.

Judas threw something on the floor.

It was a human head.

“I will kill you! I will kill you! Bendit Judas! I will curse you! I will curse you!”

“Quaaa!”

“savage! To cut off someone’s head and bring it back!”

“Your head speaks!”

People were very frightened.

His attitude was similar to that of Garot, who pointed his sword at Judas earlier.

Garot looked back at himself in this situation.

‘That’s stupid.’

In Garot’s opinion, Judas today was a man worthy of being called a hero.

However, I hurriedly tried to hide myself in the dark as if avoiding people’s eyes.

Are the fearful, accusatory glances pouring down on him that make him hide?

‘No, that’s what this guy is like, he wouldn’t mind. A person who doesn’t care about other people’s eyes. no matter what anyone says If there’s one thing you care about… .’

Garrot soon noticed that little Naru was approaching his father.

Like a child who was caught by a hunter because he couldn’t hide, Judas said, “Oh… .” He clicked his tongue.

It wouldn’t have been something to show a child.

Maybe Judas didn’t know if he cared about that.

Soon, Naru shouted.

“I found Daddy!”

Warak-.

Naru hugged her father.

There was no hesitation, and it was an attitude that even felt welcome.

“Naru found his father! hide and seek! Good job Naru!”

“… … .”

Yuda hesitated to see the blood on his hands while trying to hold Naru in his hands. So while hesitating, Naru rubbed her face on the man’s leg and said.

“Naru, praise me for working hard today… !”

“yes. Good job.”

Cheek-.

Finally, Yuda raised his hand and stroked Naru’s hair.

As Garot watched the scene in silence, the others muttered in a small voice.

“Daughter of Judas… .”

“According to the rescued children, how many robbers did the kid take down?”

“Wasn’t it scary? In a place full of corpses?”

“Is the vicious bloodline going on regardless of age… .”

People whispered freely.

They did a great job that deserves to be called great heroes today.

Everyone judges a situation by looking at its appearance.

Garot did not like this.

However, it was a time when Garot himself could not even object because he had done something similar to it.

“… Naru saved us! Also, Bendit Judas may not be like he usually is, but today he is a thankful person who saved us! It’s just that you shouldn’t talk about it without everyone knowing about it… !”

cried Cecily, the blonde girl.

It was a very courageous cry.

At the cry, the people who were whispering around them coughed and scattered.

* * *

Palak-.

Sunday morning.

When the smell of eggs being fried on a frying pan fills the room.

Garot opened the newspaper and read the writing.

“Destroy the Arubaba bandits. Arrest of Richie Al Sahad. It seems that the children who were kidnapped were well guided to their parents. To be honest, I don’t think it happened overnight.”

Garot’s eyes were looking at me.

It looks like there is something you want to say.

I asked.

“If there is something you want to say, say it.”

“To be honest, this is your credit. However, the world knows that me and the wizard Brigitte solved this problem. The article was written that way too. Are you okay?”

It was such a story.

I nodded.

“Are you fine.”

Judah, the king of thieves, killed 100 undead thieves in one night?

If such rumors spread, it was clear that my notoriety would rise again.

And this time, Naruto was also involved.

Even if my notoriety was rising, it didn’t look very good for people to see Naru as a “daughter of a human butcher.”

If possible, I wanted to erase Naru’s existence from this incident.

Therefore, this incident was attributed to Brigitte and Garrot.

That’s just right.

“Hi-Hi.”

And if it was a reward, I received it in my own way.

Shuk-.

I looked at the well-crafted invitation with gold leaf.

“From the Ragdoll family to the benefactor—”

It was an invitation from the Ragdoll family.

A child named Cecily was also involved in this incident.

Saving Naru and saving him at the same time might have helped in its own way, but the aristocratic family invited me to their mansion as an official guest.

There will also be a delicious dinner.

Might give you a lot of money too.

It might also be an opportunity to find out more about Cecily’s clover pattern.

Wouldn’t that be enough law?

full gain.

my complete win

hehehehe – it was time to laugh with that feeling.

“Judas, I apologize to you. I was no different from the idiots who cursed at you without knowing anything. I thought I was confident in the eyes of people while crossing the realm, but I guess I was still lacking.”

Garot lowered his head with an honest feeling.

Are you more serious than you think?

The back of my head is itching for nothing.

“done. I heard you saved Naru? It’s like you also have a debt, so why not deal with it?”

I roughly changed my words to get rid of the awkward feeling.

Garot then added.

“is it? I thought it would be okay to give you my virgin as an apology. It’s a pity. The opportunity to receive the seed of a man stronger than me is rare.”

“On second thought, I think a proper apology would be a good thing.”

i am judas

He was such a cowardly man that he picked up the words he once uttered.

However, Garot’s expression was more serious than I thought.

“But Judas, even though you are strong now, you are too strong. To be honest, I don’t see you as the same human being. Did you usually deliberately lower your level?”

“that’s… .”

That was when I tried to answer it.

Brigitte brought a bowl of medicine that smelled awfully foul-smelling.

It was bubbling like boiling tar.

“Yuda, I’ve been making a temporary medicine. eat. And since I contacted the priest, I will arrive in Phrygia soon. Get detailed treatment from him.”

you’re a priest

is he coming

to this city.
