An excuse to go to a restaurant.

As we dragged them in, we acted normally.

As if it was the first time I saw it when I came out of the city, I bought and ate snacks on the street corner.

I went into the store and looked at several items.

To show that we hadn’t noticed the tailing, we slowly made our way into the shadowy area for a long time.

“Is there a restaurant in a place like this?”

“Yes. It is said that only those who know go there. It’s a very remote place, and it’s a place you can’t easily find unless someone you know comes.”

“It will be comfortable.”

There won’t be any restaurants she says.

At least if you were a local living here, you would find a contradiction in her words.

The place I ordered her was an empty place.

She led me to the slums close to the wall that surrounded the city.

‘They said they were brought in from the outside… .’

If you are a local, it is normal to know that we are heading to the slums.

And he would have known that there were no good restaurants in that slum.

No matter which city you went to, slums existed, and to those cities, slums were a shame.

From a human point of view, it would be like an appendix.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it, it’s inconvenient if you have it.

lawless zone.

Public power did not work in the slums.

Even the security guards do not interfere in the slums.

That said, it was a place where you couldn’t be sure of safety there.

No one had a liver big enough to set up shop in an unsafe place.

Not only will there be no customers, but people from the slums who are greedy for food will raid.

That’s why it was contradictory to go to a restaurant in a slum.

Any local would know that, but those who followed us didn’t.

They focused on what they practiced without any doubt.

The slums we arrived at.

The people who lived there looked at me with strange eyes.

Some showed murder and hostility, but they didn’t come too soon.

Because in their eyes, I must have been too noble.

The clothes are different. I was wearing a white suit with gold jewelry, and it didn’t go with the drab slums.

“It should be enough here.”

I stood in a clearing in the middle of the slums and shook my shoulders.

The poor are hated by the nobles. That’s why most of the nobles didn’t want to come here, and even if they did, they wouldn’t bring just one maid like I did.

Otherwise, the maids brought were all powerful.

But unlike him, Alice has a hard time living in the slums without my help.

because it is weak.

Perhaps if two or more people from the slums rushed at her, Alice would be helpless.

And if they see the slightest gap in me, they will attack me.

Even though it was such a dangerous place, there was one reason I came here.

‘It doesn’t matter what I do here.’

It is a place full of poor people.

In this place where no guards come in, no one cares about any crime.

[‘The Unknown God’ looks at you and its eyes twinkle.]

yeah i’m looking forward to it too

Since he followed me, I wanted him to show his skills.

If you fall out at once, you won’t even have the taste to deal with.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t been able to compete properly lately, but I’ve become secretly frustrated.

No matter how much I relieved my stress by beating up the Iljin people.

Fighting that and a powerful opponent was another matter.

“come out.”

“… !”

He said, looking at the place where the followers were.

I could feel their astonished expression.

It was a reaction that I didn’t know I had noticed.

And they didn’t show up just in case.

It seems that he wants to speak to the poor.

“If you’ve come this far and still don’t know, you’re really stupid… There is a restaurant in any slum in the world. Aren’t you afraid that you don’t know that and follow me?”

As he clicked on his tongue, the alleyway turned upside down, and a group of people appeared.

Masked people jumped off the roof, and masked people poured in from all sides and surrounded the surroundings.

One of them came forward and spoke to me.

“How did you know?”

“You call that a question? ask for something obvious You’re staring at me so blatantly. It’s weird not knowing.”

“He’s different from the rumors.”

“Because rumors tend to be exaggerated. And when did you see it? baby.”

“under… It looks like he still doesn’t understand the situation. Can’t you see us in your eyes?”

“You look good, kid. Let’s see. one two… fourteen people? Hey, I had something to eat, so they came all this way.”

“ha ha ha. He’s got a lot of guts.”

“So, when did you call me a bastard because I saw you, bastard?”

The masked man shut his mouth.

Even without looking at his face, I knew what his expression would be like.

“I am not one to listen to words. catch!”

“It will be like that sooner or later. What are you talking about so much?”

He smiled and said to Ellis.

“Stay right behind me.”

“Yes.”

I could see the movement of the masked people. no it felt

My five senses were alerting me to their attacks.

Two in the front, three in the back.

clap.

With the thumb of the hand holding the sheath, he gently pulled out the knife.

Huung.

Stepping aside to dodge the attack, he swung his right hand and slapped him in the face.

Then, after using his left foot to punch the guy next to him in the stomach, he reached out and grabbed Ellis by the collar and pulled it back.

Huung.

The sword barely glided past Elise’s face.

I saw Elise’s expression as she sent me behind me, but her face was quite comfortable for being on the verge of death.

In that instant, our eyes met.

unblinking eyes.

Her eyes were full of faith in me.

food.

When our eyes met, I smiled without knowing.

Shouldn’t we at least repay this trust?

Puhwaak.

My sword, pulled out like a bolt of lightning, cut the throats of all three 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.

5 seconds in terms of seconds? Not even 3 seconds passed.

The masked people charged at the same time, and five were killed without them realizing it.

Their gaze at me becomes complicated.

They looked at each other and signaled.

Is this possible?

Didn’t he say he was incompetent?

they knew me

Even though he knew it, he followed and attacked.

because I had

Damn incapable of using magic.

It was clear that they would not have thought that such a bastard would defeat them.

win unconditionally

You won’t get any damage.

The moment that trust was broken, they no longer saw me as prey.

“Why. Do you think something is not going your way?”

Even at my provocation, I was unable to move.

The impression I made was that strong.

“then… I’m going.”

I spurred the ground and rushed at them.

Chow!

As I swung my sword, one fell.

as if it were natural

The guys made no resistance.

When five more fell down like that and only four remained.

They would have realized then.

“What is this? You won’t even be able to exercise after eating.”

The prey was them, not me.

“This isn’t it. I have to show at least the confidence that I just showed.”

that they are not predators

“Okay, let’s do it again. I’ll go slow Let’s do it right.”

That the predator was me, not them.

I gave them a wild smile.

***

After Rayna’s treatment.

The therapist left the dorm, saying he had something to do outside.

“What do you want to eat. Do you want something to eat?”

“Well… I want to eat duck meat.”

“duck meat… ?”

“yes!”

Mahol shut his mouth at Reina’s words.

And he remembered the money he had in his hands.

Duck meat is three times more expensive than pork.

There are some that are very difficult to catch, but they are difficult to cook and there is no place to sell them, so the price is very expensive.

In some places, it even equaled his monthly living expenses.

Thinking about that, eating duck meat was impossible.

When I think of the money I received from Raymond… .

“Okay, let’s eat!”

Suffice. It was overflowing because it wasn’t enough.

Raymond paid enough money to eat duck meat for a month.

So even if you’re saving money, eating duck on a day like today would be fine.

Raina’s health is also improving, so you just have to be happy.

“I’ll buy it and bring it back soon. Hang in there.”

“Yeah, go and come!”

Is it because of the idea that you can eat duck meat?

Reina’s face brightened considerably.

With that feeling in mind, Mahol went out into the city and headed straight to the restaurant.

There was a restaurant specializing in duck, and fortunately there were few customers, perhaps because of the price, so I was able to buy it right away.

With a hand full of duck meat, I ran to the inn.

I opened the door to the inn, thinking of my brother waiting for me.

Took.

The duck meat I bought with a big heart rolled on the ground.

It was dusty and inedible, but Mahol didn’t care.

“Le, Reina!”

Mahol stepped on the duck and passed by.

His eyes wandered mercilessly toward the second floor.

The 1st floor lobby is a mess.

It was a very clean lobby until I came out.

Evidence of an intruder.

“Raina! Are you okay Reina?!”

He hurriedly opened the door to her room.

And it hardened in place.

“Oh, are you here?”

“Where did you go and come back now? Leave your sick brother alone. Thank you for waiting a long time.”

I saw Raina shivering with the blanket wrapped around her.

And I saw the Iljin sitting next to him and the Iljin surrounding him.

Jones was nowhere to be seen.

“ah… .”

He was the one who always thought he had to be patient while dealing with the Iljins.

But now I couldn’t.

My younger brother was trembling among them.

I’m sick. He was a younger brother who should be comfortable, but he was trembling in fear because of them.

“Ahh… .”

Her face became clearer.

There were red handprints on her white skin, which had not been exposed to sunlight.

Because he was weak, because he was so fragile, even the slightest stimulation came to him in a big way.

The guys stabbed their hands at the body of the younger brother who had such a weak body.

“By the way, your brother. I’m afraid I won’t listen.”

“Educate yourself properly. uh?”

The string I was barely holding on to broke off.

I can’t stand it any longer.

I kept hearing voices in my head.

“aaa!”

Mahol felt his vision darken.

Aww!

Also, run away!

I could hear their screams faintly.

no brother!

I heard my brother’s urgent voice.

I heard it, but I couldn’t hear it very well.

I felt a sense of floating as if my body was submerged in the water, and I heard a hum.

And with the feeling of someone reaching out and grabbing me and pulling me up, consciousness returned.

“… !”

And I was startled by the sight unfolding before my eyes.

Except for the bed where Reina was, the entire room was stained with blood, and in the corner, as if bricks were piled up, Iljin was piled up.
