NOVEL NEXT This underground city is like a shithole
- My Pov -
"what do you want from me? Have I not handed over the wallet yet? "although Isabel was still a little scared, she made an effort to maintain her composure and resist allowing herself to be intimidated.
"I'm going to assume that you are already aware that the three of us have only recently entered this underground city. Because of this, I'd like for you to take me on a tour of this city" After hearing that, I could see that Milch's brow was slightly creased in concentration.
"If I show you around this place, do you promise that you'll let me leave afterward?" Isabel said this while maintaining a wary expression, but all I did was nod my head in an attempt to reassure her.
It didn't take long for Isabel to agree, and once she did, I instructed her to walk in front of my followers, who were always prepared in case Isabel did something strange.
In the meantime, Milch and I walked behind, and we were immediately guided by Isabel around this place. She would sometimes start explaining the site's history and various other interesting things about this underground city.

I decided to take a break at a roadside food shop after we had walked quite a bit around this city. Isabel, who had been appearing tense before, had now calmed down quite a bit, and she even started to smile occasionally, even though her face was still battered from the beating Milch had given her earlier.
"Hey, Kaiser, why does that girl have to come with us?" I, who was sitting on the bench, was suddenly approached by Milch with a slightly irritated expression while pointing at Isabel, who was ordering food accompanied by my follower.
I just looked into Milch's eyes, saying, "are you dissatisfied?"
Milch then hastily explained, as if she was afraid I would misunderstand something, "Of course, I will always be satisfied with all of your decisions, but it's just that that girl can't be trusted."
I sighed and pulled Milch's hand to make her sit beside me. After that, I said to myself, 'if that girl was just an ordinary character, of course, I wouldn't bother talking to her, and I would have just killed her earlier.'
While I was looking at the malnourished children who were laughing and smiling while they played in the mud. I then asked something, "What do you think of this underground city, Milch?"
Milch could only take a few deep breaths before continuing, "To be completely honest, I've only ever heard about the existence of this underground city from rumors, but I was really shocked when I saw that there were actually humans living underground."
The conversation continued with Milch saying, "Aside from the beautiful light shining on this place, all I can say is that this underground city is like a shithole."
I can tell that Milch is saying what she really thinks without telling any lies. I agree with her words Because, according to the plot story, this underground city is the poorest city in which many criminals congregate, and it seems as if they are purposefully locked up in this underground city and not allowed to go out.
'How ironic, but I'm not surprised because every place has its light and darkness, and this underground city is one of the darkness humans have behind the walls.'
"Sorry for making you guys wait," Isabel came with my followers while carrying some food in her hand.
"This is my treat," Isabel said before handing it to my follower, Milch, and me, each a dish. Judging by the steam that was coming out of the dish, the food seemed to have just been cooked.
"Do you think we will trust your food," After hearing the icy words that Milch had spoken, Isabel had no choice but to remain silent because she did not dare to say anything? Even I could see her body trembling slightly?
"What are you doing, Milch? You scared Isabel," I said in a soft voice, but even so, I didn't intend to eat this food either because I was sure it would taste like shit, so I had another idea to deal with this.
Isabel's face brightened momentarily when she realized I was defending her, but after seeing me, who didn't even want to go near the food she served, Isabel turned gloomy again. Meanwhile, Milch snorted with a grin plastered across her face.
Not long after that, I reached for something from beneath my cloak, and when I did, I pulled out three pieces of what appeared to be mouthwatering and enticing meat sandwiches.
When Isabel saw the meat bun I was holding in my hand, she couldn't help but gape with surprise and even started drooling a little bit.
Not only Isabel but also Milch appeared surprised, and then she looked at me with a strange look in her brown eyes. Yes, what I am holding in my hands are the three beef sandwiches that I just purchased through the system for a total of sixty points. Prior to making the purchase, I made sure to tell the system to materialize the items to me while they were concealed by my cloak so that I could continue to keep my secret.
Milch asked me in shock, "Since when have you been keeping that bread under your cloak, Kaiser?" but I replied coolly, "I brought some from the kitchen before we left."
After that, I continued by saying, "this is for you, and this is also for you," After that, I presented Milch and my follower with this bread that was stuffed with meat.
"Thank you, My Lord," my followers reacted excessively, which surprised Isabel again, but I didn't care about it.
In the meantime, Milch did not seem to believe a word that I said, but then she simply shook her head and began eating the beef sandwich with a happy smile on her face.
Even though Isabel had to finish all of the food she had purchased for us by herself while occasionally casting a hungry look in the direction of my meatloaf, I didn't give a damn about it.
After we had all finished resting and eating, I got up from my seat and said, "let's go."
