Cardboard Houses Do Not Tear

46 – Three skeletons on the floor if you make noise between floors

The entire shabby house filled with creaking sounds.

It was a very uncomfortable sound for minors to hear, but fortunately this sound was not that kind.

Creak!

Hoo-wook. Hook.

Creak, creak, creak.

But if I had to rate this sound, I’d say it’s a free user.

At least when I was on Earth, I didn’t pay 19 gold for a video of a thief trying to kill someone.

“I don’t know how I got here!”

Squeak!

“You won’t be able to survive the moment you enter!”

The shack, which must have been older than me, was shouting with all its body to stop abusing the elderly.

And even in that situation, the obvious lines approached little by little, raising the blade.

Creak.

Did they say that three factors of patience would avoid murder?

Now I think I need to update my old common sense a bit more.

“I do not forgive the noise between floors that disturbs my rest!!!”

One level of interfloor noise is to be counted as three stacks of factors to be tolerated.

The first attack was an ax flying diagonally.

As I dodged back about two steps, a solid line passed in front of my eyes.

The hilt over the head was fair to both the enemy and me in terms of concealment.

That’s why I waited one more time while inducing an attack.

Shhh!

The ax cut through the waist right after, and this time I saw it clearly.

He was about a step short of me.

In the five successive swings, he always took one short step.

While I was familiar with his pattern,

Chin.

Something got caught in the backsole of my shoe.

It was the threshold of the front door I had just kicked in.

It was quite cool to feel the outside air as I dug into the sack.

“Hoo-wook, hoo-wook. hehehehe.”

Looking a bit tired, he laughed meanly when I got caught on the threshold. It was the laugh of a criminal.

“This isn’t that kind of genre, you motherf*cker.”

“Search!”

And that time when I was about to run again.

Right!

The floor where he took a big step went off slightly with an uneasy sound.

He lost his balance.

Although the floorboards were able to withstand his weight, his own knee joints did not.

“Big!”

As he grabbed his leg, I could see the round top of his head.

It was definitely an opportunity, but I didn’t hit it.

Because I am one and there are three enemies.

And sure enough.

Footsteps were heard far to the right.

A while ago, I was a thief holding a dagger.

“Kiaaa!!”

Squeak! Creak!

The guy with both hands wrapped around a dagger came running, making a loud noise up and down.

Kikkik.

The front door I had just kicked in made a noise when it touched my arm, and I quickly checked its condition.

Although the hinges looked a bit precarious, they could still be opened and closed.

“You’re lucky.”

That’s why I shouted ‘that line’, gently grabbed the doorknob with my left hand, and provoked him.

“Come sooner, you failed family planner! Even if your parents couldn’t accept you, I will!”

His run quickened, and I caught a glimpse of his eyes flipping.

Kook.

I gripped the doorknob tighter.

With about ten steps to go, he came running, slashing his dagger.

“Take it!”

Looking at it, it reminded me of a knight’s lance charging.

That’s the fourth step.

“I don’t buy it.”

“What?”

Kikik.

I pushed the door forward. His momentum was as confident as that of a knight, but he was still a thief.

And through the gap in the door, I could see his astonished expression.

“Oh sh*t-“

Kung. The door closed, and I immediately walked away from it.

After a while.

“Quite a bit!!”

―Quaang!

With the sound of something hitting on the other side of the door, there was a loud crack on the door.

Only the blade of the dagger protruding slightly beyond the black rotten door proved the achievements of this great two-headed man.

It was the moment when Don Quixote was born in this slum.

Kick, bang.

The door, whose hinges were smashed, opened easily and then opened forward.

“These days, the door opens forward. It’s amazing.”

After spitting out exclamations about the newspapers in another world, I looked at him.

The guy who was staggering while holding his head looked at me and opened his mouth.

“If you say you will, this dog-“

―Wow!

Though he couldn’t reach the stars, he succeeded in reaching the door.

Then he spat out only one word.

“You accepted it through the door.”

It’s unfair, really.

After leaving the fainted guy alone. I looked at the thieves still remaining.

As if the guy in the back joined us before we knew it, the two were staring at me savagely.

“Hello-“

Creak!

Tadak!

They rushed at me without giving me time to say a word.

“Bastards.”

Perhaps they got along in their own way, their pass was quite fierce.

I threw a club at the guy with the arming sword to keep me in check.

The sword took a step back, and the guy with the ax instead dug into me.

“Where!”

An ax came flying from the left, and I immediately retrieved the club.

A club made of solid wood won’t cut right away, but I’ll have to ask for it if it’s too small.

Shhh!

Then, I dodged the ax that was swung horizontally, and sideways dodged the point of the sword that was thrown right in front of me.

They’s attacks are getting stronger.

But the distance was always the same.

“Damn it!”

―Shhh!

A guy with an arming sword takes half a step.

“Please get hit, you bastard!”

―Hung!

And the guy with the ax hurt his knee, so he took a step and a half.

Their attacks couldn’t get any further than that.

The offensive has become increasingly sophisticated,

It became more and more monotonous.

One and a half steps.

Half a step.

One and a half steps.

Half a step back.

They were showing patterns to the point where they didn’t even know if they were cutting rice cakes or cutting.

After the blade was mishandled, the ax was preparing to strike as usual.

Boom!

And he kept a distance of one and a half steps, as always.

That’s why.

Jerbug.

Unlike usual, I narrowed the distance with him by one step.

Now was the time to show the fear of the wrong beat to those crazy about anchoring.

“What crazy!”

He was weak to sudden changes, as if he was pounding rice cakes in a group of two.

And the only thing given to the guy who wasted time to adjust his posture was a club.

Puck!

“Kuu!”

The man who was hit by the forearm holding the ax inadvertently let go.

But there were two things they were ignoring.

First, that the ax he dropped still had inertia.

Secondly, it was the other guy’s turn to attack.

“Damn it!”

It’s really tricky.

With a whooping sound, the ax was buried under the feet of the guy who was firing the arming sword, and the charge was blocked.

It was because, among them, there was no great man who could calmly extend his sword even in a situation where he was almost stabbed in the foot by the ax he believed in.

The guy holding the sword screamed loudly.

“Hey you bastard! What are you doing-“

He couldn’t finish his words.

Paak!

“Kuk!”

Because I rushed in like a tiger and slapped him across the shoulder.

Dengreung.

As soon as the sword fell, the man holding the ax was stabbed in the stomach.

“Ugh!”

The two guys were completely disarmed.

And after a while,

Kung.

Sorry, I just can’t let myself fall… Ah!

Kung.

Three wriggling thieves were strewn across the floor, where a dull sound rang twice.

Obviously, he didn’t die, so there was no need to count.

I saw the skulls engraved on their forearms in the light, and the words came out reflexively.

“Today the floor got three skulls.”

Took.

I threw a rope at one of the guys who seemed fine. He was the one who said he would fall down on his own in the end.

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

I only threw one word at the guy who looked at me bewildered.

“Tie yourself well.”

“…Yes.”

While the temporary secondary subcontractor (unpaid) grabbed the boat right away and started making gulbi for thieves, I turned around for a while and raised the sack I was wearing on my head and fanned my hands.

Because the whole sweat-covered face was heating up.

“Hu, it’s f*cking hot.”

It was indeed summer.

***

Of course, this ignorant-looking operation had a plan.

I hope Jack does after looking around the house. Because they said there was only one place they could run into except the front door.

That’s why the bizarre strategy of ‘Assey goes in and flips it over, and the rest waits in the hole where they will come out and dies’ was able to be carried out.

Of course, if everyone ran away, I could end up like a dog chasing chickens by myself.

In preparation for such a case, I had planned everything up to Plan B, so it was clear that I would get it all soon.

I searched the place where the thieves used to be, and collected daily necessities and weapons in one place.

Because I had to do my work and rest until the mercenaries caught the runaways.

And in comfort, I dragged two chairs, stretched out my legs, and waited.

“…Why aren’t you here?”

However, no matter how long I waited, he did not come back.

To make matters worse, the front door suddenly became as bright as daylight.

It seemed like there was some commotion.

So after tying them up in a corner, I headed for the front door.

“What is that again?”

The outside scene, which I only slightly poked out, was not very good.

A wall of torches surrounded a small clearing in front of a shabby shack,

Because the villagers, holding something red and thick in their other hand, were questioning the thugs.

“Hey, there are four of them. Where did they come from?”

“There is a bit of human trafficking in this town.”

And judging from the size and clubs of the assailants, it was clear that they were our mercenaries, each covering their faces with all sorts of clothes.

“No, so we are not human traffickers.”

As a mercenary stepped forward and tried to explain, a villager stepped up and said.

“Take off those two then.”

“I can’t do that.”

“And what about the men tied up there? What is that weapon?”

“Ha. Really.”

As the man who appeared to be Raymond sighed, the two men behind him, who were kneeling with their arms tied, raised their heads and shouted.

“Please save me! Save me!! These bastards are human traffickers!”

“Evil!!”

The perpetrators who suddenly became victims began to act with all their might.

“……”

I took my eyes off and pressed my temples against the wall for a moment.

Because the bizarre sight I just saw made my head throb and I felt two emotions at the same time.

One is the relief of catching them.

The other was the sense of betrayal that these bastards moved only after preparing clothes to cover their faces.

I’m fed up. Really.
