My Villains Episode 159

40. Again, The Chasers (3)

“trunnion.”

The bundle was waiting for me in the courtyard of the permanent residence. His hands were hidden behind his back and his gaze was downcast.

“It’s cold, did you wait here? “I’m in my room.”

“Eh, no.”

The mungchi, who had been feeling restless for some reason, sighed and lowered his head.

“It’s Jaeseonghammi.”

“what?”

“I use people generously. Poi doesn’t order it, I order it. “It’s Jaeseonghammi.”

“… … “Are you sorry for killing someone when I didn’t ask you to?”

“Yes, that one. Even that.”

In my experience, admitting a mistake before being reprimanded is a pretty good way to behave. It’s a skill that works especially well in organizations with a strong hierarchy.

“Off” O •

It doesn’t feel very pleasant.

Not only did I have no intention of becoming the boss of the group, but what he said was slightly out of focus.

a huh”

As I was thinking about how to explain why you shouldn’t kill people, I burst into laughter without realizing it.

This is ridiculous.

The number of people I have killed since coming to this world is over 200. On that topic, you tried to go into a long argument about why you shouldn’t commit murder.

“You did a good job today.”

“……yes?”

I lowered my voice as I glanced at the young maids busily walking around.

“The old man you killed was called Maurio, and he was completely human.”

“Eh, Maljjong?”

“He’s a bad guy. “You killed it well.”

” ah.”

The bundle nodded at my unexpected compliment. He pretends nothing is wrong, but he seems to be in a good mood when he bounces his heels.

“But, it’s a bunch.”

“yes?”

“I got lucky this time.”

“Are you using your luck?”

“okay. “It was cheap to die this time, but what if he wasn’t?”

I continued talking as I took him to one side of the courtyard to avoid the changing soldiers.

“What if I accidentally kill you and it turns out you weren’t such a bad guy?”

“to… …

‘How do I do it?’ Big, black eyes whose questions are so easy to read.

I scratched my eyebrows and shrugged my shoulders.

“Something bad will happen to you and me. Ugh, it could be heartbreaking, or you might have to chase them down with a bounty on them.”

“yes.”

The distant gaze makes me sigh.

“… … Anyway, you shouldn’t kill people carelessly. “When you feel like you have to kill someone, ask me if possible.”

“Yes, thank you for your understanding.”

The response to words spoken in a command tone is very cheerful. Suddenly, the swordsman’s backstory comes to mind.

‘Mugeomhoe (無劍會)’, an organization that operates in secret among the five kingdoms of the East. The swordsman was a type of hitman secretly trained by the martial arts club.

The broken morals and the habit of following orders are probably due to that background.

“Still, it’s a bunch.”

“yes?”

“Killing people is very… … . Well, it’s heavy stuff. “Just because you get my permission doesn’t mean the burden of murder is lessened.”

“to… …

“So, you have to be able to make your own decisions and take responsibility. Until you get used to that judgment, ask me. got it?”

To my pride, Mungchi’s face suddenly took on a serious glow. The guy who was silent as if he was thinking over my words soon nodded.

The first thing that greeted us as we entered the backyard of the residence was the shouting of Utequai.

“Phoenix, you’re late again!”

“… … Are you okay, are you? “You’ll rest until today, right?”

“Can not be done. “The more you rest, the more it spreads out like a cow’s butt.”

Perhaps in the midst of training, Ute Kwai’s naked upper body was glistening with sweat. Near him, Amias’s gang, except for his boonie, was lying covered in dust.

“Hehe, hehe. “Are you here, sir?”

“Booni’?”

Among those who were eagerly greeting each other, Steedman, whose shaved head was emitting steam, stood up and answered.

“Okay. “I’m learning how to write from a scribe called Veldin or something.”

“From this morning?”

“yes. Anyway, that rotten bastard needs to know about his fluttering feet.” I burst out laughing at his grumbling.

“Did I order that excitement?”

“Uh, yeah?”

The demon swordsman Simos was also out in the backyard. After being startled by my gaze for a moment, she greeted me with a calm expression.

“Lord Phoenix.”

“Were you training together too?”

“yes. “To help me get used to my only remaining eye, I put on a hunchback.”

“okay?”

When I looked at Simos, his dark gray eyes were shaking slightly.

The demon swordsman Simos, no, the blue-haired Mosis still looked afraid of me. It seems that the hoax I showed five days ago was quite plausible.

“… … Simos.”

“Yes, yes?”

“Would you like to talk for a moment later, um, around sunset? “I have something to ask.”

When I smiled brightly, she swallowed her dry saliva and nodded.

“… … yes. All right.” The protagonist of the resumed training was none other than Munchi. Well, it’s natural since it’s a new face.

Since I was sufficiently relaxed from my early morning walk, I immediately tried sparring with him.

I was worried that Mungchi would understand how to fight, where you have to try not to hurt your opponent as much as possible, let alone kill him, but he also knew sparring.

“Now, start when it’s convenient for you.”

“… … to.”

As he pounded on his shield and spoke, Mungchi adjusted his club and held it with a slight hesitation. He looked very reluctant, but that only lasted for a moment.

“that,”

” oh.”

A short exclamation came from nearby. It was because of the momentum of the bundle.

The atmosphere of awkwardness, shyness, and a slight sense of helplessness disappeared in an instant. It exuded sharp energy, like a coolly forged blade.

“hmm.”

A pleasant feeling of victory beats my heart. I have a feeling it will be a fun sparring match… … .

To conclude, my premonition was completely wrong.

Sparring with a bunch was neither fun nor nutritious. It was a matter of compatibility rather than a difference in skills.

Basically, my style was to keep my defenses strong and use my excellent physical abilities to suppress the opponent.

Martial arts revived with Poinix’s memories, the know-how learned while training with Ulcar’s knights, and Nabook taught by Utequwai were added, but basically, it is the same.

On the other hand, Mungchi had a style of avoiding the opponent’s attacks and aiming for a single shot.

Because of this compatibility, the group couldn’t break through my defenses, so it just circled around, and I couldn’t catch it, so I ended up playing tag.

In the end, I sighed and ended the meaningless sparring.

“Okay, let’s stop.”

“… … Yes, *hehe* yes, the almost acrobatic performance based on excellent body movements and flexibility was amazing, but Munggi was a bit weak in stamina.

but. According to the character sheet, her health is worse than that of Ellen, so that might be the case.

But what was even more surprising than that was the guy’s swordsmanship.

The club did not even try to meet each other. I thought I was avoiding it because I didn’t have enough strength, but when I tried to force it, the sword itself was a bit clumsy. To be honest, it is much worse than Grania, the mercenary I met in South Harbor.

The man’s face, as he was catching his breath, seemed to have noticed my disappointment, and his face darkened.

“Uh, *huh*, please give me something else.”

“You like something else?”

“yes. I can’t fight with a sword. Something else, *he eh* Joayo.”

“… … Swordsmanship is not your specialty, is this?”

“Even so, special skill. “Hiding, throwing, and, uh, using poison are my specialties.” He said and smiled.

… … He is a swordsman whose weakness is swordsmanship. I feel a sense of déjà vu somehow.

Well, it’s natural because it’s a build that specializes in ninjutsu and martial arts rather than weaponry. Somehow, I can’t help but laugh.

“I can’t laugh! “Mungchi, your skills are terrible!”

“Eck.”

The one who made the fluttering bundle shrink was Utequai with his teeth clearly exposed.

“This it.”

After being surprised for a moment, Munggi glared at Utequai with wary eyes. The guy chuckled, raised his quarterstaff, and gestured to the crowd.

“Hehe, don’t roll your eyes and attack me. I am not Phoenix. “There is no need to be pretentious.”

The bundle looked back at me as if asking for permission. It’s a very fierce momentum.

“eww……”

……•

It was a duel between a berserker specializing in tattoos and a swordsman specializing in ninjutsu.

Although the result was obvious, I smiled and nodded.

“But why do we have to come together?”

“Why the bundle?”

Freckled Mira frowned at Steedman’s question.

“Why, you idiot. “It’s the name of the pig that Poynix raised before.”

“Oh, right. It did.”

Shaking the dirt off her knees, Mira lowered her voice.

“Isn’t there something exquisite? “The name is just like that, and he appeared right after the pig disappeared.”

Mira said and squinted at the corner of the exterior wall of the backyard.

There, an exotic oriental beauty was squatting with a sour face. Her hardships could be seen in her large footprints on her side and in her dusty clothes.

“so? “He’s that little pig?”

“Maybe so. “Don’t you get suspicious when you see Poynix slipping away?” Steedman sneered as he looked into Mira’s shining eyes.

“You are talking nonsense. “How can a pig become a human, you stupid bitch?”

“… … Stupid bitch? “This bald pudgy bastard-”

Mira was about to growl, but leader Amias stopped her.

“If you have the energy to lose your temper, let’s sort things out quickly. “I think it will end soon for you two.”

What Amias was pointing at were Phoenics and Utequai, who occupied the middle of the backyard.

The two, with their upper bodies fully exposed, were fighting back and forth, shoulder to shoulder, like a bear or a bull.

Utequai, who had made a bold charge, pressed down with his large body and tried to use a technique, but Phoenix, who had fallen, stretched out his legs. As Ute Kwai removed his legs from his thighs and waist, Phoenix targeted his ankles and crook.

Due to Phoenix’s persistent attacks, Utekwai eventually gave up his head.

When Wu Tequai, whose face was redder than usual, tapped the forearm that was holding her neck, Poynix fell to the floor and cheered. It was a victory achieved in three rounds.

“Ah, fidhos!”

Utequai got up, shook the sand off his body, and grumbled something. Amias quickly approached him and held out his water bag.

Poinix, who was handed a water bag after Ute Kwai, quenched his throat and poured water over his head. Streams of water flowed down his sculpted muscles in various directions.

“… … Wow, crazy.” Leaving behind Mira, who was quietly swallowing dry saliva, archer Cole approached Poynix.

“Mr. Poynix.”

“uh?”

“Someone is watching.”

“… … where?”

“It’s the third window on the second floor. “Third from the left.”

Poynix moistened the water and looked around. Then he burst into laughter.

“Since when have you been watching?”

“Since the two of you started Nabouk,

“It’s a place.”

“……okay?”

He nodded and tapped Cole on the shoulder a couple of times.

After briefly stopping by on the second floor, I returned to my room, scratched my eyebrows, and asked Ellen.

“… … Why do you meditate in the morning? “Let’s go get some food.”

The guy who was meditating on the bed slowly opened his eyes and shook his head.

“Eating isn’t important right now.”

“then?”

“I learned a new spell. “Two.”

“••••••aha.”

Well, since the levels went up all at once this time, we distributed a lot of bonuses.

Name: Ellen

blitz lpt

There were two new spells he learned.

The first is ‘Knives Wind’.

It is a wind magic that inflicts cutting damage in a narrow range. When we first met, this was the spell Ellen used with the power of the ‘West Wind’s Baton’.

The second was ‘cold armor’.

As the name suggests, it is a cold-type defensive magic, and although it is difficult to use, it is a useful skill. This is a spell that will make up for Ellen’s meager survival skills to some extent.

“… … But you don’t look good? “It would be good if orders increased.”

“Well, it’s not a bad thing.”

Ellen continued speaking with her lips slightly outstretched.

“Still, it’s annoying.”

“Is it annoying?”

“It’s not the spell I wanted.”

“… … Just because of that?”

When I made an absurd expression, he shook his head with a serious face.

“‘That’s all.’ I’ve been meditating for about a month and have only recovered the Earth-type spells. “But you learned a strange spell again.”

“You restored the order? “Is it possible to learn magic that way?”

“It depends on talent. I’ve had success using this method before, so I was looking forward to it again… …

The achievement he was talking about was the ‘blitz’ that he learned on his own, even though I never took a picture of it. I remember being briefly taken aback when I saw the character sheet at the time.

Looking down at Ellen who looked sad, I smiled.

“What kind of spell did you want to learn?”

“••••••there is.”

“What? “Just say something.”

“What will you do if you find out? “Nothing changes.”

“Uhm. Well, it is like that. Still, say it again.”

“You’re curious.”

As they sat next to each other and hugged each other, Ellen gave an answer, pretending not to win.

“… … “A passage through the earth.”

“A passage in the ground?”

It is a rank 2.5 skill of the Earth type. It is also a spell that the wizard Siren used to use a dryad’s beard or something.

“Last time I saw it, it seemed like a difficult magic spell to use.”

“… … “It’s not very efficient, but it’s a spell that has endless ways to apply it.”

“Well, I see.”

I nodded for a moment and then expressed my intention.

“But, you want to learn earth-type spells?”

“I wanted to do that.”

“The things you are good at are fire, cold, and wind spells. “Isn’t it better to specialize in that branch?”

“That’s nonsense.”

The guy shook his head with a stern expression.

“I’ve said this many times, but the important thing is balance. “You can only become a true great wizard if you can freely manipulate all five elements.”

“… … Um, really?”

He is a wizard who can freely control all five elements. So to speak, would it be ‘All Master’?

It was inefficient in the game.

You may be able to learn all five elements, but because you don’t have enough skill points, you’re likely to become an asshole. I probably won’t be able to learn the ultimate skill properly.

Suddenly, Trickster came to mind.

A bug character who used the Fire-type ultimate skill ‘Dragon’s Breath’ in addition to the Urban theme… … .

Come to think of it, Ellen had already gotten free skill points several times. If she grows like this and gains enough skill points, won’t she be able to become a true All Master?

“… … “Oh, no way.”

“what?”

When Ellen looked confused, I shook my head and got up.

“no. “Let’s go get something to eat.”

After finishing the meal, I left the Yeongju Pavilion with the bundle. He wanted to buy the guy’s equipment.

The Amias gang was also there. There are a lot of supplies to replenish, such as torches, oil, and arrows.

Ellen stayed in the manor house, saying she wanted to practice her newly learned spell, and Utequai went back to his room, saying he wanted to sleep some more.

While Amias’ gang stopped by the general store, we visited the military store. Perhaps because it was a small estate, they sold not only weapons and armor, but also clothes.

I already picked a shield for the first time, and I also took a few javelins. There was nothing useful about the armor, so I just skipped it.

Did you say lupus? That armor was fine, but I’ll have to ask Dionea to borrow it again.

Meanwhile, the bundle

Wow, how much is this?” “he.”

I took a lot of things with me.

As if I didn’t like the shoes, I picked up a pair of light boots and a pair of thigh-length robes and vambraces. I chose a dagger that looked like an awl and a short sword, and I also took five light daggers.

As if that wasn’t enough, Mungchi looked around the inside of the military store for a while.

“Why, what are you looking for?”

“Xiao nu. “Like this, shooting arrows.”

The store owner recognized the guy’s gesture and quickly waved his hand.

“If you are talking about crossbows, there is no such thing. “I’m not selling it.”

“If you don’t sell the crossbow, give it to me.”

“A line?”

“yes. “Give me the crossbow.”

“Not even that. “We sell finished equipment, we don’t judge strings or anything like that.” “Ugh.”

Perhaps because Mongchi was crying cutely, the store owner gave him a sword belt that he could wear as a bonus.

I was about to leave the Byeonggu branch after paying fifteen silver coins.

“trunnion.”

Mungchi, dressed in all the equipment he had purchased, looked up at me with his hands on his waist.

Just a moment ago, he looked disappointed because he couldn’t get the crossbow, but now his eyes are shining as if he’s expecting something. what?

“… … Hmm, it suits you well, doesn’t it?”

“swimming.”

That’s correct.

After purchasing supplies and joining the Amias Gang, we headed to the Lord’s Palace while looking around the quiet streets.

And then, I witnessed an unexpected sight.
