chapter 4
How to become a warrior – 3
[listen carefully. Everyone has a secret they want to hide. And I have the power to uncover the veil of secrets. As long as the conditions are met.]
‘Condition?’
[It is not difficult. The name of the object. And the names of people associated with the secret you want to hide. You only need to know these two.]
‘……’
[Well. Looking back, it’s a difficult situation. It’s a secret because the secret hasn’t been revealed. Knowing the name of the person associated with an undisclosed secret is a great challenge […]
‘no.’
It’s not difficult for me.
I looked at the pigtails on the heads of the scattered bastards.
Again, like those who committed atrocities, they were living with an average of 50 to 60 people committing sins.
I looked at the common names among them.
‘Hmm.’
– Crime against Lena McCree and 52 others.
-Crimed against Lena McCree and 68 others.
– Lena McCree and others…
There are a few that aren’t, but among the victims of over 70 percent of them, the name Lena McCree is.
Even registered as a representative.
In other words, it is the crime they want to hide the most.
I kicked the bald head that was roughly rolling in front of me.
perk.
“Big!”
“hey. What is your name?”
“Wrong!”
“What’s wrong with your name?”
“no!”
“Then what’s your name?”
“Lee, this is Leon. This is Leon Swin.”
I shrugged and said to the voice.
‘Should I pretend to be deceived and ask? Please tell me the secret between a guy named Leon and a guy named Lena McCree.’
[Huh? I must have pointed out something. Well, good.]
Suddenly, the screen appeared again.
<I used the Eye of the Battery.>
<The current eye level of the battery is 1. The secret level that can be read is D level.>
<The selection condition is ‘Secret between Leon Swin and Lena McCree.’>
<This secret level is D level. Browse.>
next moment.
The whole screen flickered black, and a certain video started to flow.
The bald man was now smiling with the bandits lying in front of me.
A blonde girl, who had just been about 15 or 16, fainted over his shoulder.
At first glance, he seemed to know that the girl was Lena McCree.
“Kah ha. Leader. Did you take a big bite today?”
“That’s right. You show up around our territory without fear.”
“What will this girl do? No, where should I sell it?”
“Ts. You guys are all bad, but your brain is particularly bad. Don’t you know who this little boy is?”
“Yes?”
“Hey. This is the only daughter of the president of the company who farts quite a bit in Drucker’s estate!”
OMG. did you?
“Why is such a woman without an escort……”
“Looking at it, it seems like he went out for a picnic and then went deep inside the escort. When I found this bitch, there were people at the foot of the mountain calling out his name.”
“You’re stupid.”
“I would be better than you.”
The captain smiled mischievously and continued.
“It would be better to get a ransom for a woman like this than to just sell it.”
“Is there no repercussions?”
“What’s the matter? Anyway, we were going to be up here soon. Let’s take one last bath and disappear.”
“It’s also the boss. Uh-huh.”
drop.
The screen showed up there and disappeared.
I thought, stroking my chin.
‘Right. Is this the ability to reveal secrets?’
Very interesting.
My ‘Pig writing’ only shows the names and numbers of victims of crimes committed by that person, but does not show specific crimes.
If you don’t know the name, you can’t see the secret of the voice’s ‘eyes of the battery’.
In other words, the two perfectly complement each other’s shortcomings.
‘It’s a fantastic match!’
[I think one letter is a little strange.]
‘Anyway, this is definitely an opportunity to increase your reputation.’
Before returning, I took care of these guys and then swung away.
Even then, I had read the name Lena McCree in their pigtails.
But I thought it had nothing to do with me.
At that time, as long as I didn’t sin against myself, I didn’t care what other people were doing.
But now it must be different.
You have to build a reputation.
Stacking up, building up and building up, I have to take off the mask of that Kayld and I must become a real hero.
[okay. That’s how we have to save the world from the Demon King…]
‘For my brilliant retirement plan!’
[……]
‘good night. Let’s try it.’
I made up my mind and opened my mouth.
“Wake up within ten seconds from now.”
“Turn it off.”
“No, get up in five seconds.”
“Turn it off.”
“Wake up in three seconds.”
Jump
They left their seats like lies and got up.
I looked around and found the captain who had appeared on the screen a while ago.
The man with the scars on his face was trembling like a child.
I asked with a smile.
“hey. Where is Lena McCree?”
two days later.
I visited Drucker’s estate with the guidance of a girl named Lena.
“mister. Here it is. here.”
Now, Lena, who never let go of my hand, led me with all her might.
As if the bandits still thought she was an important hostage, she had only a few pieces of clothing, but no major dents or bruises.
“Because I’m not your uncle.”
“oh. I’m sorry. brother.”
it’s better
[Take care.]
“Really…thank you so much.”
“I’ve heard that word more than a hundred times.”
“It’s not enough to say a thousand times. Black.”
Lena showed tears again in her already swollen eyes.
I heard it was her birthday a few days ago.
Originally, I was supposed to go on a picnic with my father, the chairman of the company, but that day, an important meeting was suddenly held and only the escorts and maids had to come out.
Lena said that she was deeply troubled by that fact.
So, he went deep into the mountains, avoiding the eyes of the escorts, with the intention of teasing his father for a while.
“Be careful in the future. There are a lot of these guys in the world.”
tuk.
I lightly slapped the head of the bald man following me.
For reference, behind me were twenty-two bandits tied with ropes one after another.
After finding Lena at their stronghold, they were kindly and caringly weaved one after another and brought them here.
A bald man who was hit in the head glares at me.
“ね. your girl. Remember.”
“……”
“We don’t end up like this. If you release me now, I will not find you.”
“……”
“But if you hand us over to the chairman of the company like this, we will find you. Find…”
“uh. Keep going.”
“I’m going to go find him… and buy you a drink. Hehe.”
While I was chatting with the bald head, Lena informed the house of her safe return.
The chairman literally ran to the front door barefoot.
He hugged Lena tightly and burst into tears of joy.
“Uh-huh. this one What the hell are you doing now!”
“Dad. really sorry. I was wrong. Sobbing.”
“not. I came back safely, so that’s it. Who else is this?”
“oh! right. Dad, don’t be surprised. This is the ‘immortal swordsman’ Maid Mohan!”
Don’t call me by that name.
Why do I have to face an excuse that I didn’t even make?
[Sword of Immortality. kut. Big haha.]
‘Shut up.’
[Why are you burning?]
‘I don’t accept murder quests. I just cut off the limbs in moderation.’
[ah. That’s moderate. yes.]
‘Why, John, all of a sudden.’
[But why are you avoiding murder? Wouldn’t a mercenary not be good enough to make a living?]
‘I am an elite mercenary. Even if I cover it over and over again, work is pouring out everywhere on the continent.’
not empty words
So, at the age of thirty-four, he was making plans for retirement.
[Hmm. Even so, it would be true that a murder quest would make more money.]
‘……’
I swallowed the answer.
The guy is right.
But I can’t see my own pigtails.
It’s scarier because you can’t see it.
How many sins have I really committed?
The death row prisoner at the age of 7 is still vivid in my mind.
Father’s name floating above mother’s head.
As long as those scenes remain in my mind, it seems difficult for me to kill people.
[Isn’t it a sin to cut off limbs?]
‘I don’t want to live as an adult. You want to avoid the worst.’
[Hmm.]
‘done. How can a dragon understand the meaning of a sparrow?’
[Is it changed?]
After I said it, I realized. this child
Anyway, in the meantime, the conversation between Lena and the chairman was over.
The chairman bowed deeply to me and said,
“Meet the reputable Maid.”
“Don’t do this. They are just wandering mercenaries.”
“Maid-sama is the one who saved my only daughter. Even if I get down on my knees here, it will not be enough to express my feelings right now.”
The chairman’s voice was thickly wet.
He continued to speak, shaking his whole body with a passion of joy and emotion.
“Come in at once. I will treat you with all my heart.”
“Who are the guys behind this?”
I pointed to the bandits, including the bald ones.
Then, the face of the chairman of the company changed a hundred and eighty degrees from when he treated me.
He opened his mouth with a lively voice.
“According to the original imperial law, we should report it as it is, but…”
“……”
“There is no need to annoy high-ranking people for ‘little’ things like this.”
When I came to my senses, I saw people pouring out from behind the chairman of the company.
The elders who write with great strength.
Among them, there was even an uninhabited man with a force similar to a sharply sharpened sword.
“You were thinking of a major search.”
“yes. All the famous mercenaries in the vicinity have been recruited.”
“……”
“The search is no longer necessary, but the cost is prepaid. I think these guys have to do something for them.”
“You are a merchant, so you can’t take a loss.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
The president of the company said so and gave a beckon to a mercenary.
He is probably the leader of this temporary group.
He glanced at me for some reason, then instructed his subordinates to lead the bandits.
“Ugh. Where are you taking us!”
“You’ll find out when you go.”
“This is nonsense. help me. Save me!”
Gradually their voices fade away.
Hmm. Is it well resolved?
It’s the first time I’ve intervened in someone else’s business in this way, so I can’t figure it out.
[Good job. You can see this.]
what.
Again, a translucent screen of courtesy appeared in front of my eyes.
I just moved my eyes and looked at a corner.
<Tiring! You have earned 50 Fame Points.>
<Required Fame Points to the next level: 170/1,000>
<Your name will be resounding in Drucker’s estate in the future.>
<Total reputation points to be acquired in this case: 700>
<Oberg McCree considers you a ‘saviour of her daughter’s life.’>
<Lena McCree thinks of you as ‘the man on the white horse’.>
……
A man riding a white horse?
Isn’t this an adjective contradiction?
[Why uncle! What’s wrong with you?]
‘Looking like that, you must have grown old too.’
[Shut up. Thirty-four.]
‘I’m twenty-seven since I’ve been back for seven years.’
Then the chairman said.
“Made. Now go in.”
“Then I will take care of you for a few days.”
“A few days! Don’t say that. I will serve Maid for the rest of my life.”
“……”
“If that bothers you, I will hire you for the rest of your life. Please don’t tell me you’re leaving.”
Whoops.
Lena suddenly crossed my arms and said.
“okay. mister. We live together here. yes?”
“Hmmm. Lena. This dad didn’t mean it that way.”
“What does it mean?”
“it.”
“……?”
I just calmed them both down.
Anyway, I plan to stay here for a while to organize my thoughts, but…
Still, I have no intention of staying here for the rest of my life.
[why? Didn’t your retirement plan come up automatically?]
‘Whoa. no. I can’t stay in one place for long.’
[Well?]
‘I’m in a position where I can’t get along with people.’
The voice remained silent, as if incomprehension.
But there is nothing you can do
I looked over the chairman’s head.
– Eid Blackett and other 71 people guilty.
This good-looking man has sinned against more people than the bandit boss who was taken a while ago.
Because I am.
That’s why he’s a wandering mercenary.
