Episode 152 My skills are top-notch, but my swordsmanship is third-rate! (13)
“You’re too cocky.”
Scarlett, who was in the kitchen, slowly approached me.
When he left the kitchen, his body was 1.2 times larger than before.
Bow down, narrow your shoulders, and stick out your neck.
These are techniques to disguise yourself as an ordinary businessman, and the basic skills and shell of a street rat to avoid being noticed.
He shed that shell and revealed his true self.
“Just keep being arrogant for once. How far will that arrogance go? … “I was curious.”
Scarlett opened her mouth while brushing her red hair.
At the same time, he took a pose looking down at me from above.
A high-handed attitude to seize momentum.
But I’m not the type to be scared by things like this.
Although the [Mental Defense] skill is protecting my mind.
‘It’s nothing compared to Charon’s intimidation.’
To be honest, it’s worse than Luna.
Scarlett’s actions are simply a threat, but Luna really bites people.
Maybe he said he couldn’t eat much meat today because the restaurant was a mess, and he might try to take a bite of me instead.
A time when I was trembling at the coming future.
Did he think he had gained momentum? Scarlett opened her mouth.
“It would have been easy to guess that I was a gutter rat. but… … “How did you find out my name?”
Basically, it is taboo to reveal names among street rats.
They often use pseudonyms or nicknames such as ‘Sweet Gutter Rat’, but sometimes refer to them simply by numbers when going into operations.
The real name of the rat is information that only manager-level personnel, including Charon, know.
So it’s natural for Scarlett to have doubts.
‘Because you’d think Charon wouldn’t make such a rookie mistake.’
And that’s true.
Charon did not tell Scarlett’s name. No, he didn’t reveal his existence.
In other words, it was my mistake to mention Scarlett’s name, and I unintentionally hit the nail on the head.
But there is no need to panic.
“Hehe, this is basic to me. “I guess Mr. Charon didn’t tell you.”
“I told you to be careful. So, does this mean you obtained the information independently? … It seems like you have ties to managers other than Caron. “It’s a relationship so dirty that it sells the secrets of a gutter rat.”
It’s not a bad inference.
If Scarlett hands over this information to Charon, people at the managerial level will have a hard time… … Well, it’s none of my business.
‘The probability of that happening in the first place is low.’
A manager-level rat is by no means a soft person.
Charon class… … No, in some ways, they are even more special beings.
No matter how much of a bastard I am, it is almost impossible to find out the real name of the rat from them.
Since we have had time together with Charon, our trust relationship will be strong.
A being like that sells information about a rat to a single academy student?
This cannot happen.
‘Scarlett, who is the ultimate gutter rat, foolishly told me her name and then forgot it.’
Thinking this way is much more natural and highly probable.
That is, if Scarlett provides this information to Charon… … .
‘On the contrary, I will be scolded. ‘You don’t even know how to think.’
Of course, you can have some doubts.
Not only am I a very suspicious person, but I also make deals with Charon and himself.
Could it be that other people are going through similar things and are collaborating? You will have that suspicion.
‘But even so… … .’
A little doubt and prodding.
It will stop at that level. It will soon be proven that they are innocent.
‘Scarlett’s evaluation will get even worse as she blames her own mistakes on another rat.’
The further away Charon is from Scarlett, the better. The more you do that, the closer you will become to me.
Scarlett, and.
‘Charon will also become closer to me. ‘You’ll think you’ve weeded out the unhelpful ones.’
Although I made an unintentional mistake, it is actually a good situation.
I secretly laughed.
“Hehe, that’s a secret. “It’s a beautiful law to protect an informant’s secrets, right?”
“indeed… … It’s enough to make you feel cocky. I apologize. “For belittling you.”
“There is no need to be grateful. “Scarlett, it’s your mistake.”
“… … bouncer. You don’t say a word. You’d better relax. “From now on, I’m going to dissect you here and there.”
Scarlett growled.
A short conversation. But I was able to find out some information here too.
‘Caron… … ‘You haven’t revealed much information about me, have you?’
If I had provided information about myself, Scarlett would have one of three attitudes towards me.
Either they realize my worth and treat me with deference, or they pretend to be innocent and try to secretly dig up information, or else… … .
‘He must have suppressed me with force.’
But there is no reaction from either side.
It just reveals a strong hostility that anyone can see.
This means only one thing.
‘You’re saying you see me as a competitor.’
A gutter rat, and a beginner gutter rat at that, is a competitor.
Charon would have subtly provoked him, and Scarlett, who thought she could not be defeated in a fight with a novice rat, would have taken the bait.
Why did Charon hide information about me and start a fight?
‘I guess they want to see Scarlett’s skills. By using me.’
If Scarlett finds out new information about me during this process, it’s literally a situation where you kill two birds with one stone.
It was a Charon-like paving stone and a well-made trap.
‘Well, there are still a few things I don’t understand… … .’
You can find out about that later.
The most important thing now.
‘Taking Scarlett under my command.’
Charon is also doing a good job, but the problem is that he is always on guard against me.
In the future, you will have to uncover mysteries, have secret conversations with heroes, and even go on an exciting date(?) with the devil.
I can’t ask Charon to do this.
The power I need to obtain may be passed on to Charon, but I decided that this is not information that the guy at the Academy can obtain.
There is a high probability that they will try to figure out how to obtain such high-quality information.
how?
‘I’m going to tear off each piece of flesh and ask questions.’
Obtaining information through torture. This is one of the things Charon is good at.
Right now I can’t do that because I’m protecting Luna, but if the information provided is of good quality, Luna won’t be able to protect me either.
Maybe they will threaten you by tearing off each cell, not just the flesh.
Such terrible things are out of the question.
In other words, the person I need most right now is.
‘A person who is blindly loyal.’
A being that does not doubt my words, follows orders unconditionally, and does not pay attention to mystical powers or enormous wealth.
I needed someone like that.
So-called masters and slaves… … Oh no. It’s like a military-subject relationship.
I can say that it is a very cool and great relationship.
‘I get to have my own knight. He is the master who handles the articles… … ‘It’s kind of cool, isn’t it?’
And to have a person who will be called ‘the master of all things’ as a knight in the future.
A smile formed on my lips.
Then Scarlett frowned.
“But you haven’t received your education yet?”
“Hehe, education?”
“… … It was something like that. I haven’t received any education yet. “That’s why I’m being rude like this.”
Scarlett smiled. Like he realized something.
“You didn’t come in through the normal route, right? You must have received a recruitment offer from someone. yes?”
It’s a recruitment offer.
In a way, you could look at it that way.
Because we have formed a business relationship with Charon.
I wasn’t asked to become a gutter rat, but I was asked to become a business partner.
“hmm… … Well, that’s true.”
“That’s right, that’s right. That’s why she could be so cocky. “Now I understand Charon’s intentions.”
“Intention?”
“okay.”
Scarlett’s eyes lit up.
“To fix your mental head. “This is why Charon sent you to me.”
I could tell from his serious attitude.
I’m feeling like I’m making a big mistake right now.
“I… … . “I think you are seriously misunderstanding something.”
“In this situation, insolence disappears completely, right? “Why do you feel a little scared now?”
“That’s not it… … .”
“Take up your weapons. “I will show you the skills of a senior rat.”
Sereung-.
A metallic sound sounded from behind Scarlett.
Right hand behind the waist. It was clear that he had a weapon in his hand.
Judging by the fact that it is not visible, it must be a short dagger-like weapon.
‘… … ‘I’m in trouble.’
He had to make Scarlett his subordinate within today, but Scarlett didn’t just have a big misunderstanding, he took a fighting stance.
Even Luna and Leger are waiting for me outside.
‘How to persuade?’
There is one easiest way.
but.
‘If you do it wrong, it could sound like a threat.’
Threatening someone who should have a close relationship with me?
The moment your weakness disappears, you will turn your back on me.
‘Currently, his abilities are low, but in the future, he will be called a universal merchant and will command the continent.’
He is a guy with high potential.
It will soon grow significantly and will be of great help in the future.
Losing such a being through threats is a huge loss.
As expected, it is unreasonable to bring up ‘that number’ now.
‘Above all, it is rare to find someone who can help me even while deceiving Charon.’
It was a time when my worries deepened.
Scarlett slowly approached me.
“Take up your weapons. Well, it doesn’t matter if fists are your fighting method.”
“… … Hehe, if you do this, you’ll be in trouble.”
“Don’t worry. “I will save your life.”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
“… … ?”
He said while using the [Open Eyes] skill.
“It means your side is in trouble. “To me, fighting is murder.”
Scarlett stiffened for a moment.
Soon his mouth became crooked and he shouted loudly.
“Your arrogance is sky-high! “I will definitely fix your messy hair!”
Hmm, I thought if I pretended there was something, he might back off.
It looks like I ate it anyway.
‘Do I have no choice but to kneel by force?’
However, Scarlett currently does not have an artifact that can protect her body.
[Slash] or [Sky Split] cannot be used. The same goes for other advanced skills.
‘They say I should fight only with my skills… … .’
Although I am gaining close to real-life experience by sparring with Lucia, my swordsmanship is still at a third-rate level.
Although Scarlett’s level is low, the problem is that the weapon she is holding is a dagger.
‘I’ve never fought with a weapon as short as a dagger.’
First off, I know one thing for sure.
The moment I give up the distance, holes will open up here and there in my body.
Hmm, I can’t believe I found this information to be of no help. It’s really annoying.
“Hehe, aren’t we intellectuals? Solving problems through conversation rather than fighting… … .”
“die!”
shit! Give me time to take out my sword!
That was when I quickly picked up the chair next to me.
Scarlett’s dagger was approaching with the momentum to pierce the chair.
chin-!
Someone caught the dagger.
And with bare hands.
“Ah, that’s not how murder is done.”
Even though he was holding a sharp blade in his hand, his voice was relaxed and relaxed.
Yes. The person who held the dagger was none other than him.
It was Lucia, the Imperial Ten Sword.
“I will teach you. Murder… … .”
Whoosh!
“This is how it is done, baby.”
In an instant, Lucia dug into Scarlett’s arms and threw out her fist.
Wow!!
A sound that makes it hard to believe that a fist and a stomach met each other.
Scarlett’s body bent grotesquely, and her knees, body, and head met the ground in that order.
There wasn’t even a scream. He faced death without any time to die.
Yes.
‘I killed it! Lucia is my subordinate… … No, I killed a would-be subordinate!’
Did he notice that I was embarrassed?
Lucia said, scratching her cheek.
“if… … “Wasn’t it a dangerous situation?”
“I guess it wasn’t a situation where I was going to die. “It’s the same over there.”
In other words, it means killing an innocent person.
Lucia was greatly embarrassed.
“Gwae, it’s okay! People don’t die this easily. Well, my lifespan would have been slightly shortened. one… … “About 70 years?”
It’s not a strange number even if you die right now!!
The murderer said in court, ‘Oh, I didn’t kill him. I stabbed it with a knife, but it only shortened its lifespan a little. How is this any different from ‘about 100 years?’
Even though I have narrow eyes, I think he knows that I am looking at a criminal.
Lucia grabbed Scarlett by her hair and lifted her up.
“I’m not a murderer! Look, it’s alive!”
Well, the tongue sticking out of the mouth was talking.
‘It’s already a dead body.’
“Huh? That’s strange. I didn’t hit it that hard. Hey, wake up. “Get up and see.”
match! match!
Did Lucia’s wind reach the sky?
Scarlett came to her senses.
“Uh, um… … .”
“look! “You’re not dead!”
“Yes, it seems like my lifespan has been shortened by about 70 years. “I’ll probably die by tomorrow.”
“It was a joke? If a person dies like this in the first place, that person is strange. Well, it’s like a chronic disease that kills you suddenly. “There was something like that.”
There was only one thing I wanted to say to Lucia.
Make that excuse in court, you would-be murderer.
