My Villains Episode 016

5—2. Maintenance(1)

I sat in front of the computer as usual.

As soon as I get off work… uh, off work? Did you go to work today? Is it the weekend?

In the monitor, a petty blood knight was running wild. It looked like it was moving around as it pleased, killing enemies, drinking blood, and crying.

It seems crazy.

Click, click, click.

No matter how much I tried with the keyboard and mouse, the Blood Knight was still moving as it wanted.

what is this?

I lifted the mouse and looked at the back to see if there was any problem.

Breathe!

I was surprised and shook my shoulders. This is because the LED, which is unique to optical mice, was glowing dark red when exposed to sticky blood.

Looking closely, the hand holding the mouse was rough, long, and thick. These aren’t my hands, are they? No, it’s not my hand?

•••Who am I?

When I looked again, my hand was right. The hands were familiarly soaked in blood, and almost all of them belonged to someone else.

At that time, cheers erupted from all directions.

Wow!

Death!

Ugh, what kind of nonsense am I thinking about? During war!

I quickly raised my shield. Then he moved the blood on his hand to cover Pulsion.

Oh, oh oh.

The blade of blood that emits a strange light grows bigger and bigger. It becomes longer, thicker, and more ugly.

At that moment, pirates were running in a line. When viewed from the front, it appears as if it is one person, no, it is one person. No, there are several.

Not a pirate?

Ellen? Who are those guys in the back? Indians, Hollywood actors, track and field athletes, naked skinny people, black-and-white film heroines, idols, gray-haired old men, monks, there is no answer. I can’t help it.

He stretched out his blade, which was long enough to reach the horizon. As the pirate was torn in two, laughing, a sudden sense of ejaculation came over me.

Kim Seung-su, I, the office worker, the murderer, the blood knight, K-2 410997, K-2 410997, the good son, the hacker, the pervert, Uncle Ji-won, the Vice President of Wildpul, Phoenix gritted his teeth and suppressed it. .

I suppressed it, but failed.

The lord of South Harbor was inspired by the killing of hundreds of pirates and sent out a fleet. The purpose of the expedition was to drive out the pirates and lift the maritime blockade.

Despite the great victory, they were still outnumbered, so Seongju also requested cooperation from civilian ships anchored in the port.

The dock was attacked, many military ships burned, and many sailors died, so it was an unavoidable situation.

Numerous archers and sailors lined up on the military ship and lifted anchor. As horns and drums began to sound, large sails were unfurled.

There were only about 20 military ships, but in addition, there were 30 captured pirate ships and 30 requisitioned civilian ships. In addition, nearly a hundred small ships with crews of 30 or less also contributed.

Since there was no event like this during the gameplay, I watched the fleet’s departure with a feeling of half anticipation and half worry.

I was worried that the blockade would be lifted and peace would return to the city, and that the scenario I knew would be different.

Anyway, when the naval battle began, the South Harbor side had a considerable advantage at first. The leading military ships carrying wizards broke through the entrance to the bay, and the fleet quickly spread its camp.

I don’t know if it was Seongju’s order or what, but the civilian ships left the bay at the rear and took up positions on the left wing. It was as if mercenaries had been left in charge of the dockside battle.

However, the conditions on land and sea were worlds apart.

If you think back to the battle at the dock… the city was under siege and attack, so there was no way for the mercenaries, including me, or the guards at the top to escape.

If he ran away and the army was defeated, he would be captured by pirates and become a slave, and if the army won, he would be imprisoned by the order of the castle lord.

There was no other choice but to fight to the death.

However, the situation was slightly different for private ships. Unlike on land, just beyond the narrow entrance of the bay, the vast sea spread out, and the pirates’ siege net was unexpectedly loose.

In the end, some merchant ships chose to make sure they survived, even if it meant being cowards, rather than dying fighting for the besieged city.

When the military ships began fighting with the pirate ships, they suddenly fled to the west.

Only a couple of ships escaped the first time, but that alone was enough to unsettle the fleet.

In addition, the pirates cleverly opened the way for the fleeing merchant ships, and other civilian ships who witnessed this threw the liaison officer dispatched by Seongju into the sea and ran away.

Centered around the military ships, the remaining fleet also fought hard. However, as a result, the South Harbor fleet was almost destroyed, and the pirate blockade was still firmly established.

So, the atmosphere in the city gradually became more hostile.

“Hmph!”

I suddenly opened my eyes and barely managed to swallow a scream and catch my breath. In that state, I just rolled my eyes and looked in all directions.

It seemed like it was dawn when I saw the faint blue light seeping into the room.

The rags and straw sticking out of the bed, the black rotten wooden floor, and the sleeping mercenaries snoring came into view one after another.

At first glance, it was a scene of a four-person room at an inn in Baetgo-dong, completely different from the place I had seen in my dream – unfamiliar yet familiar.

I sighed in inexplicable relief.

“Whoa.”

what? I don’t remember exactly, but I felt like I had some kind of thrilling dream… .

I tilted my head and searched through the bag I left next to the bed.

Because of the battle that took place a week ago, I had to leave all my clothes in the bathroom. It was completely soaked in blood, and no matter how much I tried to suck it, the blood kept coming out. Since I had earned some money, I paid a coin and left it to him.

Since I couldn’t stay naked while doing my laundry, I bought two sets of clothes at a store that sells used clothing.

It wasn’t the sturdy leather clothes worn for adventure, but just plain cloth.

I was planning on buying as many different types of clothes as possible, but since there weren’t many clothes that fit in the first place, I had no choice.

This is because Poynix’s body was one head taller than that of ordinary people.

Of course, the clothes here were completely different from those worn on Earth. The underwear was a piece of cloth that looked like white shorts, but considering I was wearing trunk panties of a generous size, it wasn’t that bad.

No, it was quite comfortable because there was a string at the bottom that could be fastened. I didn’t stop him in his pants or anything.

But the pants look a little tight.

I don’t know if the entire Middle World is like this, or if the people of Milan Nol Kingdom dress like this, but the socks and pants are all in one piece.

If you describe it this way, you might think of stockings, but the material was just fabric and the width was generous, so it was quite comfortable.

This also has straps that can be tightened at the ankles, knees, thighs, and waist, so it can be adjusted to fit your body shape. So even though it was a bit uncomfortable to put on and take off, the fit wasn’t that bad.

The top was, well, a style of fabric that hung down to the thighs and was fastened with a belt.

The front buckle was loose, so I felt a little disappointed, but… … Hey, what do you think? I have a good body too.

Still, it was a bit disappointing that there were no soft socks.

Oh, and I chose two sets of tops and bottoms, underwear, and a belt, but they only gave me five coins.

It’s not like there’s a clothing factory or anything like that, so it was surprising that it was so cheap. Of course, some may be cheaper because they are used goods.

And thanks to these cheap clothes, I decided to stop comparing the value of the currency used here to that on Earth.

While paying for accommodations, meals, etc., I tried to roughly calculate how much a coin would cost in Korean Won… I couldn’t do it.

The value of a product or service is so different from my common sense that I cannot calculate it.

While thinking about that, I was in the middle of picking up the armor and putting it on.

“Ugh.”

The man lying in the bed next to me got up and rubbed his face.

His face, with his bushy beard and scars big and small, was wrinkled from a hangover.

•••He’s already ugly, but he’s doing it like that, so there’s no such thing as an orc.

“Wow, are you awake already?”

“Sleep a little more, old man. “The smell of alcohol is really strong.”

“•••okay?”

Then he put his hand to his mouth and sniffed it to smell his own breath.

The name of this drunken man is ‘Gilius’, a mercenary.

He was the man I was grateful for who spoke to me and shielded me a little with his shield when I was struggling during the dockside battle.

The two young men sprawled out on the other bed were also colleagues of Mr. Gilius. It is said that he originally had another comrade, but he was stabbed to death by a pirate’s spear.

“Sir, it hasn’t been long since your wound healed, so why is it so sore?”

“Is it skinny? “What am I?”

“Are you asking because you really don’t know? “If you live like that, you’ll catch alcoholism or syphilis and quickly search your room.”

“This shameless bastard has been fighting since morning.”

The man opened his eyes and, wheezing, groped the bedside.

Ugh, what a waste of time.

“Hey, here.”

He took the canteen I gave him and drank it, then made a big noise and wiped his mouth.

“Are you having a sword fight with the captain today too?”

“It’s not a sword fight, it’s sparring, sparring. “Sparring for training!”

“Truly, what good is training? The cub is as strong as a bear. “A bear should fight like a bear, not like a fox.” “Oh, stop talking nonsense and go to sleep.”

I snatched the canteen from the hand of the muttering man and left the room.

Mr. Gilius seemed like a nice guy, but half of what he said was nonsense or drunkenness, so there was no need to listen to him.

As I was about to head to the backyard, the door to the room across from me burst open.

The person who opened the door and appeared was Ellen, a small girl whose crown barely reached my solar plexus.

“what. “Are you awake?”

“uh. good morning.”

The guy rubbed his eyes and greeted me in a quiet voice. Her face is hollow, showing signs of fatigue.

I was very worried when I saw the back of the guy yawning and walking, so I followed him and asked.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“uh.”

“Do you think you’ll collapse at any moment? “Get some sleep.”

He had been immersed in meditation for the past week.

Meditation to clear one’s mind is considered an essential part of a wizard’s routine, but he’s been a bit harsh these days. I only slept for a couple of hours a day and meditated the rest of the time.

Despite my worried advice, he shook his head with half-closed eyes.

“It’s better than it looks. And if it’s because of the sewage, I’ll go to bed early today, so don’t worry.”

A week has passed since the battle at the docks ended.

Neither I nor Ellen had played for a while, but it was a bit frustrating that the planned sewer exploration wasn’t happening.

I’m planning on going down to the sewers tomorrow, but… … If he continues like this, I might have to think again.

“Is the sewage system the problem? “What if you end up falling down?”

“Because it’s not that neat.”

The guy tried his best to avoid my worried gaze and looked the other way.

In fact, it wasn’t that I couldn’t guess why he was overdoing it.

Perhaps he was mindful of the fact that he could not participate in the battle on the dockside.

When he was almost captured by the military, he seemed a little angry at me for lying to him that he was a student and not a wizard.

Although I felt a little sorry for him, I tried to put on a stern expression and spoke.

“Anyway, don’t be foolish and take good care of your body. This young guy… …

“Ah, nagging again. Go quickly and relax. “I think Grania will be out soon.”

“Uh, really? “Then I’ll go first.”

Following his words, I headed towards the backyard at a brisk pace.

Then I glanced back, and Ellen was just yawning with a sleepy look on her face.

“Are you okay?”

“damn.”

“Uh, okay.”

Looks okay.
