chapter 8
1 Second Sword Master Episode 8
“sister. Did you deliver the goods to that distant guy?”
“yes. I heard you really like it?”
The woman approached the guild members who were waiting for her and took off the hood she was wearing.
“Thanks to that, I got a lot of money.”
“Oh, of course you hit the price well, right?”
“Sure.”
As the money-filled pocket jingled, the guild members stretched out their hands as if drawn by the sound. Then she frowned and kicked.
“Hey. this fuck. Where are you going to touch with dirty hands?”
“Oh dear. sister. Let’s touch some money too.”
“go away. Touch it a lot when distributing it later.”
But not all money is good.
Depending on the level of the request, sometimes this kind of money can cause big problems.
“But is this okay? Didn’t that distant guy buy the medicine to kill Aslan?”
“You’ll figure it out. What does it matter?”
“Does your sister know that Aslan became the 7th sword master? The fact that we failed for no reason and sparks are flying at us…”
“Poop!”
Hearing this, the woman burst into laughter.
“That bastard Aslan is the Sword Master? i never believe And the medicine I gave you is the best unmarried medicine. Even if you’re a real sword master, you’ll pass out if you drink just one drop.”
“Your sister really hates Aslan.”
“I normally hate people who are idiots more than you guys, but he is exactly like that. Ugh. that psychopath. Anyway, I won’t be seeing that bastard anymore. And let’s get out of here.”
“Yes? If Aslan dies, no one will come after us, right?”
“Hey. If Aslan dies, will the Berak family collapse? Will they light up their eyes and try to fight? The state of the kingdom is already muddy, but let’s wake up to the civil war. It’s obvious if you don’t see it.”
If they knew that Aslan had died, the people of the Berak family would not stand still, and then a war would break out between the royal family and the Berak family.
“let’s go. An old kingdom like this doesn’t suit me.”
It wasn’t a place I’d been to anyway, so I didn’t have any regrets.
I just wondered which kingdom’s flag would be planted in this castle the next time I came.
* * *
“Woo-wook-”
The whole world goes round and round.
It was like a roller coaster running in circles at full speed.
“Oh shit-”
Even if he wanted to free his upside-down stomach, there was no way.
“Ugh. Even if it’s a hangover cure please…”
I missed the convenience store today.
I needed cool water to quench my thirst and a hangover cure like morning tea.
But there can be no such thing here.
The only way to end this pain was to vomit what was inside.
I couldn’t get out of the bathroom for a while.
“If I drink again, I will not be a human child.”
This line sounds like something my old roommate said.
Every time I do that, and after sobering up, I vividly remember going out to get some laxatives. So I made up my mind to stop drinking that much…
“Ah-oh. Aslan is really like this dog… Ugh!”
What the hell is that bravado, making me drink all the way to the end of a drink I can’t even drink?
If Aslan’s body is a body that accepts alcohol well, it would be absurd.
This guy was a weakling who couldn’t drink more seriously than my original body.
look at this hand
The other day, I broke a knife with my hand to catch poop, and ooze is still coming out of the wound. It’s a pity that he poured a recovery potion on it, otherwise it would have rotted away.
Still, he drank a lot of alcohol.
The funny thing was that his morbid bravado would never allow him to appear drunk in front of his subordinates, or even to upset his stomach.
“Ugh. fuck. I have to get out of this psychotic body quickly.”
Otherwise, I would never know what kind of bluff I would die from.
“How are you going home later?”
It was a great thing to even come to this room.
In front of the subordinates who became Kwakra, the bluff that had taken the maximum stood upright and allowed them to come this far, but as the people disappeared in front of their eyes, the aftermath came at once.
“I think someone said they were coming.”
There was a reason why I did not go straight home and stayed here in the palace.
Because I won in that stupid competition, I should get a prize from the king or something.
It’s all over, I just wanted to go to sleep like this.
If I hadn’t turned inside out, I would have just passed out.
thump-
Then footsteps were heard outside.
“Hmmm. waiting squad leader. Are you inside?”
As soon as I heard that voice, my body that had been drooping on the floor jumped up like a lie.
His vision, which had been spinning around, suddenly returned to normal, and his wobbly steps were balanced.
The morbid bravado was surprisingly pushing away the drunkenness that filled his body.
It’s an amazing mental illness no matter how you look at it.
“Please wait a moment.”
I tidied up the messy cape strings and brought Raoul, who was waiting outside, inside. He looked at my face and burst out laughing.
“How can you drink so much of that poisonous liquor and still be so fine? Indeed, the mental strength of a sword master.”
In the eyes of other people, I look fine.
But the morbid bravado suppresses the spirit of alcohol.
If the tension is relieved even a little bit, you don’t know when you will throw up again and collapse.
Raoul sat down and had an attendant put the box on top.
“What is this?”
“It is a treasure from the king. Didn’t you prove at today’s banquet that you are the greatest ruler of the realm? Ahh. Of course, he said he would give a separate reward for defeating the Halaz Kingdom.”
The box contained gold and sparkling jewels.
There wasn’t much excitement.
I don’t have to give it to you, so I hope Raoul will disappear soon.
“And he gave you this too.”
What comes after the box is
“It’s a very rare drink that only the king drinks.”
“…”
Fuck this.
It was alcohol again.
“The king gave it to you, so shouldn’t you taste it? I will pour you a drink.”
“You don’t have to.”
“hahahaha. You can’t refuse. Wouldn’t you like to taste this soon?”
Raul, unaware of my overturned speed, poured a drink into the glass.
“ruler. Eat quickly.”
Now, just looking at alcohol made me feel as if something was coming up, so I hated putting it in my mouth.
But since he’s staring at me with his eyes wide open, I can’t just throw it away.
“I cannot drink alone. Take it too.”
“Ahh. I am fine.”
“Isn’t it said that alcohol tastes better when you drink it together? I cannot drink this precious wine alone.”
“Hmm. That, if you say so.”
I poured a glass for Raoul, and when he was looking at the glass for a while, I quickly poured the liquor from my glass onto the floor.
He didn’t seem to notice at all.
“ruler. Let’s keep eating.”
I put the empty glass to my mouth and acted like a gulp.
Raul did not drink and watched me closely.
“Why don’t you eat it?”
“Well? hahahaha. That’s because I shouldn’t drink.”
“it’s okay. Please.”
“I can’t. If I did, wouldn’t I fall asleep just like you?”
“…?”
What do you mean?
“How does the drink taste? I haven’t tasted it myself, so I don’t know if the drug has changed the taste or not.”
drug?
He took out a small empty bottle from within.
“They say that even a ferocious monster can be put to sleep with just one drop of this medicine. People don’t even have to say I tested it a few times before I brought it here, and everyone passed out after just one drop.”
“…”
“I’ve put an entire bottle of such a potent medicine in this wine.”
That means that from the beginning, he was targeting me and plotting this.
What are you trying to do by drugging me?
“You know that the Berak family casts a protective spell on your body, making it impervious to poison. So I just wrote another way. Protection magic can’t protect this medicine. It’s just a drug that quickly puts you to sleep.”
“Why would you do that…?”
“That is not natural. It is to kill you.”
It was then.
* Quest happens!
[Overcome the crisis of death.]
-Kill Creepe, Kill 20 Assassins, Kill or Capture Raul.
– Get 10 gold as reward.
-Gold can be used in the shop.
Is Raoul a bastard?
I had thought from before that I had to be careful because I was a guy with the traits of ambition and betrayal. But are you already putting it into action?
What’s more, a quest without any warning signs.
No matter what, it seems like this develops too quickly…
‘ah.’
Then something flashed through my mind.
‘It’s because of the difficulty level!’
The ‘extreme’ difficulty is an unknown territory that I have never played before.
So you can’t predict anything, and you shouldn’t be proud that you can predict anything.
But even so, this is too much.
“If you kill me, the Berak family won’t stand still, right?”
“Does not matter. If only you disappear, everything will be solved.”
At his signal, assassins appeared from all sides, each with a weapon.
Among them, there was Crepe, who had collapsed after fighting with me until the end.
I must have fainted because I was a freak, but how did that happen?
“hehehe. It’s been a long time since I’ve been drunk like that, so I drank a lot of potions thanks to you, Grand Commander. Even now, in fact, I am still drunk enough that my head is slightly dizzy.”
yes. It’s a fantasy world, there’s no way there isn’t a potion to sober up.
He hurried toward me with a sharp ax slung over his shoulder.
Perhaps because of its huge body, the floor thumped.
“If I kill you, will I now become the 7th Sword Master on the continent? hehehehe.”
Letting out an eerie laugh, he put the ax blade in front of him.
“Now the medicinal effect will start to work.”
I’m sorry, but the drug didn’t work.
Because I didn’t drink the alcohol Raoul gave me.
If I had drunk it without knowing it, I would have already been beaten to death by that idiot’s axe.
‘I think I’ll die if I don’t drink.’
Creepe was a problem, but these assassins gathered in all directions were also a problem.
Their number is about 20.
If I were a real sword master, I would have just cut it with a single knife, but unfortunately I am not a sword master.
I’m just a girl in the corner of my room who accidentally fell into this world and suddenly became a sword master.
The only thing he had was an asshole skill that could only be used once every 300 seconds.
“Why doesn’t the effect work? Should I be down by now?”
Sensing something strange, Raoul grabbed a glass and handed it to the assassin next to him.
“Try a drink.”
The assassin took the cup and took a sip.
And soon after,
thud-!
I just fell down and passed out.
One medicinal effect was astonishing.
Raoul tilted his head as he looked down at the drink and the fallen assassin.
“Strange. It’s normal for the drug to work so quickly. Why are you fine?”
Think carefully.
He said that even if he was bitten into a tiger’s den, he could survive if he stayed alert.
First of all, since he has momentary strength, wouldn’t it be okay to cut down that creepy guy at once and escape from this place somehow?
yes. Let’s go after Raoul.
If you run with the will to kill in one blow and draw your sword, you should be able to cut off one of his necks.
But against my will,
“You’re asking something obvious.”
Aslan’s body was moving at will.
His back was erect and his voice was deep and low.
Seizing an opportunity, the movement he was preparing to run forward was also released.
“What did you think you could do with this body with just that kind of medicine?”
A morbid bravado that began to wriggle.
yes. You can’t miss this opportunity
The tongue, which had already been eaten away by bravado, danced at will without following my will.
“You are foolish. hey raul You shouldn’t have believed in medicine, you should have brought all the knights in this kingdom. Well, even then, it would have been difficult to hold this body.”
He was speaking very confidently without saying anything.
“Hey, the medicine doesn’t work?”
But, as if it had worked, Creepe, who had been laughing unluckily since before, hardened his complexion and took a step backwards.
for a moment. look at these guys
If I do this well, maybe it will work?
Isn’t Aslan’s other weapon a bravado that is so shameless that the opponent is deceived?
“No medicine works on this body.”
But there was something I was still overlooking.
How dangerous a bluff can be once unbridled, and how much more insane a body controlled by Gao can do.
“Don’t be ridiculous. There’s no way the medicine won’t work.”
To Raoul’s objection, I, no. Aslan reached for the bottle full of medicine.
And this madman drinks from the bottle,
“Then I have no choice but to show you.”
I started pouring it all into my mouth.
