056 – School fees are more expensive than you think! #7

056 – School tuition is more expensive than you think! #7

Elizabeth trembled.

A person gets shot and dies

It was very shocking.

How much more, to deal with two of the five children through a lottery.

It was such a horrifying story that it brought tears to my eyes.

Shuk-.

Soon after, Elizabeth took out a round marble-like object from her pocket.

It was dark brown in color and had a bitter odor.

“… something to eat?”

Hina, the gluttonous priestess, asked softly.

However, Elizabeth slowly shook her trembling head from side to side.

“This is the medicine my father made. Calm your mind. It’s very bitter and tasteless… .”

It was Elizabeth who chewed the round pill.

It was very bitter, but it felt like the bitter energy was driving away a little of the fear and shock in my heart.

Then, I thought, Oops.

‘I shouldn’t have eaten it all by myself. I’m sure the other kids were shocked as well!’

Elizabeth looked around.

I thought the other kids must have been shocked by the shocking incident that just happened.

‘Isn’t that the case again?’

The condition of the other children was better than expected.

There is no sign of surprise or fear.

‘Even if Naruna and Tywin are like that, Cecily is also calm. Certainly, the nobles’ daughters are different.’

It was when Elizabeth calmed down and gave a small admiration.

Naru struggled here and there and started a riot.

“Naru, I’m bored!”

It was a very boring look.

Seeing Naru like that, the nymph Sifnoi, who became the children’s jailer, frowned.

“He’s a very damned kid… ! Does this Sifnoy’s Nymph Biggie – beating the night away – to come to their senses… ? It’s late, so the kids are growing up… !”

“no!”

For some reason, Naru was provoking the guard, Sifnoi, by struggling or being distracted.

“If you don’t go to bed early, you won’t be a great Kore… ! By the way, Kore is a cute and beautiful girl… !”

Sifnoy growled like a Chihuahua, and in Elizabeth’s eyes the dagger worn around Sifnoy’s waist looked terribly frightening.

However, Naru said as if it was okay.

“Then, sing me a lullaby! Sifnoy, don’t you sing lullabies well?”

“Ah? How else did you know that this Sifnoy sings lullabies well… ? It’s something you can’t do… ! This Sifnoy sings a lullaby… !”

The nymph cleared her throat with a um-eum.

The boy soon began to sing a strange song.

“Ditch ditch ditch water. small ditch. creek creek creek water. clear creek water. Daramdaram… Squirrel, little forest friend… nine… .”

By the way.

An amazing thing happened.

The nymph who started singing the lullaby nodded and finally gave up.

Looking at that, Naru said.

“As expected, it’s Sifno! If you sing a lullaby, you will fall asleep alone! Hurry up and get out of this gap!”

The distracted figure until just now was Naru, who was calmly and calmly shouting.

Tywin couldn’t help but be surprised at this situation.

“How did you know that singing a lullaby makes you fall asleep? Have you known this nymph?”

“Yes! But I might wake up soon, so I have to get out of there! If we stay like this, both of us will get hurt!”

It was as Naru said.

A situation where you don’t know when the terrifying boss will come back and harm the children.

Shuk-.

Naru removed the tiger skin from the living room floor.

Then, I saw an iron plate with a square hole on the floor.

“Also! It’s the door to the basement! Only this side made a different sound when I stepped on it!”

The reason Naru wandered around and was distracted was to find a way to the underground.

Realizing that fact, Tywin said with a small admiration.

“I read it in a book. Most of the thieves’ living quarters have emergency exits that go underground. maybe this is it emergency exit.”

way out.

Elizabeth felt hope.

“Guys! Let’s get out of here!”

However, it was very disappointing that it was locked tightly with a padlock.

“How do I open it? Naruya, can you open this?”

“Ugh… , I think it will be difficult with Naru’s lock pick. Judging from the diamond shape engraved on the iron gate, it seems like you need a diamond key… .”

Even from Naru’s point of view, this underground lockdown was amazing.

It looked like it would need a special key, but after rummaging through the sleeping nymph’s pocket, there was no key.

Instead, I was able to obtain the key to the lock that locked the entrance to this drawing room from the nymph’s pocket. And also picked up a few coins.

Dalgrak-.

When Naruga carefully opened the parlor door with the key, he saw a table in the distance.

“Hey! Don’t cheat! How does a royal straight flush come out!”

“What do you mean, I’m lucky! I take all the money!”

The security robbers sitting at the table are addicted to gambling.

Elizabeth, with her good eyesight, was able to spot the jingling key at their waist.

Diamond-shaped rhombic ornaments were attached.

“Could it be that? The key to the entrance to the basement!”

At those words, the cold-hearted Tywin nodded.

“Perhaps it is. I don’t know how I can get my hands on that. Naru, could you steal that? You are good at stealing.”

“that’s right! but… It might be harder than you think… . Naru, you’re good at stealing, but actually, you’re not good at sneaking around. Look over there, the dogs are sleeping. Especially dogs with sensitive ears.”

Dreadful-looking dogs were sleeping on their stomachs next to the guards.

Naru was confident in moving her hands, but avoiding the sensitive ears of the dogs and the eyes of the guards was also difficult for Naru.

“… Ugh, if it was dark at least, I would have done something. too bright.”

“What!”

Elizabeth was taken aback.

Even with the key in front of you, you can’t escape.

It was at that time that my father’s face shimmered before my eyes.

“I will. Noblesse Oblige. A time of crisis is the right time to set an example as an aristocrat.”

Shuk-.

someone stepped forward

It was Cecily.

Tywin frowned in surprise.

“Cecily, you? Are you doing something even Naruto can’t do?”

“I am a noble. I learned how to walk lightly and quietly from my father. okay. I remember learning from my dad. How to walk lightly and quietly like an aristocrat… !”

Memories from long ago flashed in Cecily’s mind.

Dignity comes from action.

Cecily had been taught by her father long ago to walk like an aristocrat.

It reminded me of learning to walk like a dance by putting my feet on my father’s instep.

“… It’s a pleasant memory. It’s only now that such an important memory comes to mind… .”

Shuk-.

First of all, Cecily took off the shoes she was wearing on her feet.

After taking off my socks, I stepped on the floor barefoot.

Slightly lift your heels and walk.

Slowly like a cat walking on a wall.

There was no sound of footsteps, which was simply amazing.

“Ow, shack… ! Cecily is awesome! Like a cat!”

Everyone including Naru was surprised.

However, Cecily, with a serious expression, moved towards the guards without saying a word.

pounding, pounding-.

“… Can Cecily do well?”

Elizabeth’s heart felt like it would burst as she watched it.

It was a moment when my breathing quickened and my eyes became dizzy.

“The drug, that was the end of the drug.”

When Elizabeth was struggling to find medicine to calm her mind, someone held her hand tightly.

It was Hina, the gluttonous shrine maiden who had been silent until now.

“it’s okay. That… Cecily Biggie “Cat’s Walk”. never… I can’t hear you.”

It was a strangely reassuring story.

Indeed, Cecily managed to get to the waist of a soldier undetected by gambled thieves and sleeping dogs.

“Good! It’s three-eighths!”

“You madman! Why is the madness coming out of poker!”

The thieves are concentrating on gambling without even knowing that Cecily is nearby.

Cecily slowly reached out her hand.

Short-.

Soon, he stole the entire set of keys hanging from their waists and came back stealthily.

“Huh, for that Cecily, this much is easy.”

“It’s awesome! Nobility is amazing!”

Elizabeth hugged Cecily as she returned.

However, Tywin, who was watching all of this, thought.

‘Rather than walking like an aristocrat, wasn’t it the gait of a complete thief?’

Of course, I didn’t say such a thing out of my mouth.

The important thing was to use the key to escape underground.

Well, well, well, thump, thump-!

Kii Profit -.

After struggling with the key for a while, Naru opened the basement door.

“done! Let’s go! Seeing that the wind is blowing, it must be connected to the outside world!”

Naru picked up the lantern that was burning in the living room and gave a small shout.

Then, they took the lead in escaping by climbing a ladder that stretched down toward the darkness, and soon one or two children followed behind Naru.

The problem is that the nymph, who was asleep in the tumultuous situation, woke up.

“hehehehe… ! The children are escaping through a secret underground passage… ! If the children run away, this sifnoy will be killed by the fearsome Jack Crocker and become a nymph hand bone wand… !”

The nymphs chased after the children.

The children ran away eagerly.

* * *

“Voodoo boss! The secret passage in the drawing room is open! It seems that he probably escaped through this road! I think it’s been about 10 minutes!”

“Ten minutes at a child’s pace… . If so, I wouldn’t have gone far. I need to make it happen before Jack finds out about it.”

With one hand, Conrad, a man who was called a second-hand man, pulled out an armful of shurikens from his waist with his free hand.

Then he tossed it around.

From the thief who reported the situation nearby to the guy who just came out to watch, everyone had their hearts pierced by shurikens.

“Boo, the sub-head why… .”

“If you want to make it happen, no one should know about this. Except for me. do not resent Isn’t this kind of common in the world of thieves?”

Conrad laughed.

It was a mean laugh.

Seruk-.

He now casually hid the body nearby and went into the parlor.

There was an iron door in the drawing room that opened to the floor, and it must have been an entrance to a tunnel through which, in case of emergency, one could safely escape outside the lodge.

Conrad was about to enter the entrance.

Of course he couldn’t do that.

“What about this? I don’t think I can do anything that hasn’t been done.”

I revealed my presence from the shadows that had been hiding.

Conrad looked at me as I appeared in the drawing room and frowned in an understandable way.

“What kind of guy are you!”

sereung-.

There is quite a sense of tension in the way he pulls out the dagger right away.

“Who are you! He said he was careless, but he was not talking nonsense as he closed the distance with me in an instant! Are you attacking me knowing that I am “one-handed Conrad”?”

“You know. An old gold grade thief. Educator of Salome. The right-hand man of Herod of Judah, the 12th king of thieves. Should I say left arm now? I cut off your hand.”

Shuk-.

I walked in the robe.

Then Conrad’s eyes were stained with bewilderment.

“… Yu, Yuda. How is this… .”

“The back of my head where you hit me still throbs when it rains. I haven’t forgotten your face for a time, so I thought I was in love if I was hippopotamus. ”

“… Are you here for revenge?”

“No, actually, I didn’t care about you. But the kids who escaped underground have business to do. Therefore, you must die here.”

“Fuck you, asshole! Do you think this Conrad-sama will be defeated by a bastard like you! Losing an arm is enough for someone like you!”

Conrad screamed madly.

You look full of confidence.

I activated the A-rank skill [Scouter].

By the way, “Scouter” is a unique detection technique that I have trained through many difficult battles.

Why, if you work part-time at a convenience store or bar for a long time, you can see through minors pretending to be adults.

It is considered an enhanced version of it.

anyway.

「Name: Conrad Lv. 39 → 34

Strength: 10 → 5

Agility: 12

Duration: 17

Karma Tendency: Chaos/Evil」

According to my scout, Conrad’s abilities are probably about this.

39 levels.

Assuming that the average strength and agility of adult males were 3 each, Conrad’s ability was amazing.

Sum of all stats 39.

So level 39.

In addition, strength, agility, and durability exceeded 10 each.

Of course, perhaps because one of his hands was cut off, his physical strength was reduced from [10 → 5], and his level went down to [39 → 34].

Still, when I saw that each number of 10 or more was expressed as the “realm of superhumans,” Conrad’s level was on the remarkable side.

As a side note, 20 is the maximum for each number.

Wasn’t it said that the number 20 goes beyond the realm of a superman and reaches a god?

“I will kill you, you bastard bastard!!!!”

Conrad’s veins stood out on his forehead.

His pupils are bursting with blood vessels in anger.

It was at this time that the dagger he pulled out shone exceptionally sharp.

“Shadow walk.”

pat-.

I activated the A-rank skill [Shadow Walk].

I said it grandiosely as an A-class skill, but I only moved using the speed that reached [Agility 20].

Of course, even with such a simple movement, the opponent will react like this.

“What, what!? disappeared!? Where the hell did you go!”

“It’s not gone, you missed it.”

“What… !?”

I grabbed the back of Conrad’s head with the palm of my hand and pressed it toward the floor.

thud-!!!

Conrad, who lost his posture in an instant and his face was stamped on the floor, screamed, “Ah!”, but it was okay.

“Ooh, I can’t move… !”

“Well, if not more than Enkidus or the warrior guy, I’m a thief and my strength is superhuman. Even if you have four arms, you can’t escape.”

“You monstrous bastard! Aagh! ugh! Where did you get that power from? !!!”
