Labyrinth City Mesugaki Pawn Shop

10. Something in the Box (2)

“Are you calming down now?”

There was nothing like warm tea to calm a trembling body.

As she sipped the tea prepared by her lady-in-waiting, Legarete’s expression was somewhat dissatisfied.

“Whoa…It would have been fine if it stayed the same a little longer…”

The lady-in-waiting who brought the tea saw us and said, ‘Mommy! Have a good time!’ She rushed out, but…It was a misunderstanding. Anyway, misunderstood.

A story where the delivery man suddenly meets the woman at the place he went to deliver?

Write, this is storytelling that could only come out of CORN HUB…

“…I’m glad you’re okay.”

“But what about that…?”

I looked at the box far away from Legarete.

Although he’s gotten better now, Legarete still couldn’t even look at the box. It was something that could hardly be considered a stuffed animal.

The sight of her constantly wriggling her fingers and wrists as if she were alive was something out of a B-grade horror movie.

“Is it a part of the labyrinth monster’s body? I’ve heard before, that among the monsters in the labyrinth, there are some that can still function even if a part of their body is cut off…”

“It’s not that there aren’t such things… But this one is different.”

At least among the monsters in the labyrinth I knew, there wasn’t anything like that that only partially survived. That was clearly something over the line.

Number of uses: 3/3

The contents of the information window that popped up when I looked at the box.

Old, as caught, given. However, no one is there about it?

What bullsh*t is this!

Since the censorship was deleted at the most important part, I couldn’t even guess what it was.

However, one thing was clearly stated: the number of uses, and no one had ever used it.

Even a goddess is real. Abilities were highly questionable.

Oh, is it because the goddess’ head is also missing a screw?

[Achievement achieved!]

Unbelievers: Faith-1

Behold! If you don’t usually come out, but if you want to curse yourself, everyone will see a little b*tch who comes out and gives you a disadvantage!

Maybe Poppy, the bastard next door, has more power than the goddess.

“If it’s not a monster in the labyrinth… How can Mr. Einheri be so sure?”

“Because I have some knowledge about what comes out of the labyrinth.”

Even if it looks like this, I had memorized the appearance and patterns of the monsters from the labyrinth, the body that I had enjoyed steadily from the first to the third of Labyrinth Maze.

…But putting theory into practice is a whole different story.

If it’s a furry five-fingered monster, be it the Yeti in the snowy plains or the Bigfoot in the jungle… But none of them had hands that fit the box like this.

It’s ambiguous to be part of a monster’s corpse, but it’s a living, grotesque thing to be called a normal monkey’s hand.

However, judging from the number of uses, it is clear that it is used for some purpose…

“This should be classified as an artifact.”

I have no idea what kind of effect it has at the moment.

There’s no such thing as a rabbit’s foot. An easter egg castle tool that allows monsters to drop +1 silver with a certain probability.

It was memorable because it was effective even if it was not specially equipped and only put in the inventory. Unexpectedly, I also farmed it right away from the 2nd round to put it in.

“Hmm… Mr. Einheri doesn’t even come close to the labyrinth… I’m surprised. It doesn’t look like an adventurer at all.”

“Then what did it look like?”

“Of course…”

Le Garette’s face turned red as she stopped talking and looked into my eyes for a moment. It was like a red ripe apple.

Push Shi

“Oh, you’ve got a face value!”

What the hell are you talking about? It’s not even kidding.

“But if it’s an artifact… What on earth did my father buy it for?”

In general, artifacts were used for combat, but there were some that were effective for non-combat activities as well. Things like the chance of success in production, or a slight reduction in the price of a shop.

However, most of them existed in the form of amulets, rings, and necklaces, and I had never seen or heard of them boasting such a menacing appearance. And I couldn’t think of anything that would help the doctor.

“Maybe it’s really for collection… It could be that you’ve opened your eyes to a new taste…?”

For example, a new challenge for middle-aged men to overcome menopause. Of course, I don’t want to know too much about it.

“I think the owner of our pawnshop probably knows. There might be an assumption that they sold it without knowing what it was, but it doesn’t mean that they didn’t know about such a heinous thing as a wizard, no, a witch.”

“Is the boss a magic…Or a witch?”

“My mouth asks me to call you a witch, not a wizard, but…”

“Are you a real witch?”

I wondered if it was a wizard or a witch, but Legarete’s face was stained with excitement.

“A witch! You are a great person!”

Suddenly, Legarete suddenly accelerated from zero to one hundred and one second.

“What is the name of the boss? How tall are you? What about her hair? What is her weight? What are your hobbies? What’s your favorite food? Where do you live? What do you usually do in your free time? Do you have any vacation or travel plans? What would you dislike if you met them? What is your usual day like? Do you exercise often, do you have any siblings? Where is your hometown? What’s your birthday? What about constellations? Do you have a favorite play or music?

Oh, I touched it wrong.

She was asking endless questions and clinging to her so persistently that she wanted to get up and shake it off, but before she knew it, she was holding on to the crotch of her pants.

No, panties! Get your pants down man!

Unlike me who was embarrassed, her expression was

Rage 0.0000

Contempt 0.0000

Disgusting 0.0000

Fear 0.0000

Happiness 1.0000

Neutral 0.0000

Sadness 0.0000

Surprise 0.0000

I was filming 100% happiness.

“Is being a witch that good?”

”Of course! You’re a witch, right? A title given only to the best talent in the Mage Tower! The highest honor in the Mage Tower, where no more than five recipients ever received it! The pinnacle of all female wizards! That kind of person is the boss! Mr. Einheri, you are actually doing a great job!”

No, I couldn’t believe that a human who could spit out 1,000 more sounds a day had such a spec.

“I don’t think our CEO would ever be that kind of person.

“It can’t be, only witches can call themselves witches! If someone who is not a witch calls her a witch, a punishment team will immediately descend from the Mage Tower.”

No, then, is the CEO of Bsilgol really the No. 1 Challenger on the powerful server?

[Heojeop♥ Bsilgolfle Dama♥]

My head became very dizzy.

“How do you know so well?”

“That’s… Actually, I was also in the Mage’s Tower at one time. I’m ashamed to say it, but I think I’m pretty good.”

“Yes?”

As a child, Legarete was said to be talented enough to enter the Mage Tower. It is also a talented person with a promising future to the extent that the elders personally visit and take him.

“But for now, just lighting a single spark is the end.”

A thin line of flame, weaker than a lighter, briefly rose from the raised index finger, then disappeared. It was something she hadn’t even thought of. However, it seemed that even that alone was too much, and Legarete’s breathing became rough.

She was so arrogant even in the game that she was taken directly from the Mage’s Tower?

“I have a hard time with a simple flame like this now because of my magical disability, but I have played with fire in the past. Because it was something I did on a dummy doll for practice…”

“Something caused me to have a magical disorder… No.”

It was rude. Very big pity.

“No, originally, I didn’t want to talk to anyone, but why?”

Legarete’s green eyes were smeared with a sad color.

“I want to talk to Einheri.”

Her grasping hand moved onto her lap.

“I… I didn’t have a body like this until I was 10 years old.”

Le Ga Lete pointed at her own leg, and my gaze was unintentionally drawn.

Her terrible magical handicap, which came along with her paralysis of her legs, had forced her out of her magic. She’s a wizard who can’t use magic properly.

As she flew high, her fall was bound to happen quickly.

She was covered with a full skirt, but there was still a revealing silhouette. Legarete’s hands, which held her so thin legs and the hem of her skirt, trembled.

“Shall I show you…?”

She hesitated for a moment before pulling up her skirt that wrapped around her own legs. It happened without even stopping.

And the condition of the exposed leg was more serious than expected.

Legs that were grotesquely twisted and bent, and all the muscles called muscles were pulled out, leaving even the thin veins exposed above the skin.

“Others saw my legs and said I was a chuan type.”

It was a disease that even I, who lacked medical knowledge, knew about.

It is the worst disease of humankind, which forms a twin with smallpox, but has already almost disappeared from the original earth.

Polio

Le Garette’s hands trembled as she lifted her skirt with her eyes closed. Does she know what expression she is making now?

“Bee, this is it. Heaven punished me for being so careless.”

Not listening to her parents, Legarete secretly went out to the water with her brother in the summer. Her sister didn’t like it very much, she said, but she dragged her around because she couldn’t see her sister wandering around alone, she said.

And the high fever and paralysis that began in Legarete who returned.

And the aftermath did not end with Legarete herself, but continued to her mother, Margaret.

Unlike Legarete, who ended up paralyzed from the bottom of her body, her mother’s prognosis was extremely poor. She died three days later, gasping for breath, because her respiratory center was paralyzed, she said.

Fortunately, none of her misfortunes had any effect on her younger brother.

Polio in this world is a terrible disease accompanied by magical disability. A child who was so talented that he was highly praised by the Magic Tower fell into a body inferior to that of a goblin overnight.

Moreover, the permanent magical impairment caused by polio would periodically bring great pain, and certain medications were needed to prevent it.

It is not simply a drug made from grinding herbs, but a kind of elixir containing magical treatments and various alchemy techniques.

The rest suffered the terrible agony and just wished it would pass quickly. However, the pain was so severe that those who could not bear it chose to commit suicide.

Most patients used to choose to soothe their pain with a drug that is waiting for ruin at the end rather than prevent pain with expensive medicine, but William, who did not want to give his daughter such a life, chose the former.

“It was around that time that his father started working at the company.”

Although he had money saved up so far, he said that the doctor’s income was not enough to keep up with the expensive medicine prices.

It was said that many bad things happened on the first trip, resulting in damage to the initial capital, and even a crisis in which the ship on which it was sailing was caught in a storm and almost died.

“Of course, I’m doing well now that I’m successful…”

A bitter smile lingered on her lips at the resultant story.

“Maybe, if it wasn’t for this bridge, wouldn’t I have been able to study more and become an adventurer…? And live more confidently… To Einheri…”

LeGalette was munching as if to say something.

“Where is that b*tch on a day like this? Oh, is it over there?”

“Boyfriend! There is a guest in the drawing room!”

I turned my head at the same time as Legarete at the sudden buzz.

“How are you? Customer? Are you a guest?”

And there was a boy who hadn’t even taken off his hat yet, as if he had just returned from outside. They had blonde hair that looked just like Legarete, and a look that would make them say naturally, “They’re siblings” When they’re next to each other.

The boy had a puzzled look on his face.

“…Karl”

“Damn it, did an asshole who couldn’t take care of a leg properly drag a man into the house?”

Carol’s face was distorted to the point where it could no longer be seen.

I must have heard wrong…?

He greeted Carol with courtesy.

“Hello, I’m Einheri from the BSG pawn shop.”

“A pawn shop? These days, pawnshops don’t sell stuff, do they sell cocks? It’s understandable to see a woman’s legs exposed in someone else’s house.”

Legarete’s skirt was up above her knees.

“This is…”

“Well, I can’t even walk properly, so I have to spread my legs well. So, how much will my sister’s pussy cost? Do you have a piece of silver? Oh, it’s a serious defect that can’t move, so that’s something to consider. Then can you tell me a fairy tale? But since she’s a virgin, I’d appreciate it if you paid for it.”

Le Garete roared as he made a hole with his finger and made a poking action.

“Karl! You!”

“What are you saying, b*tch that’s not even a dick.”

Mixed with the vulgar way of speaking was none other than a gloomy feeling of denial and disgust that had never been seen before.

Not only did he use a sword and club, but Carol was tearing his sister to pieces with words.

“The money that goes into that stupid body is 300 silver coins every month. It’s a waste of money. Instead of that expensive medicine, just pour morphine into your veins periodically and use it as a meat doll.

Clenched fists, unfocused shaking eyes, rough breathing. Another hyperventilation attack was coming over Legarete.

As I grabbed her by the shoulders, I heard Carol’s mocking voice.

“Try that too, who knows? The lower part is a stiff piece of wood, but the mouth can be used very well. Well, at least you have to do well in that way to appeal. Who would pay attention to a leg idiot?”

In an instant, the color drained from Legarete’s face. She was in a situation where she couldn’t just pat her on the back and catch her breath.

“Ka—-! What did you do!”

A brown-haired man with a distorted expression jumped at Carol and slapped him on the cheek.

Wow.

He smirked as he spat out the blood that flowed from his mouth.

“Father, what is it? He just said stupid things to the stupid b*tch.”

“No matter what, I am your sister! The least respect is-“

“Respect means that I respect you enough even if I don’t pour oil on that f*cking b*tch right away and burn it to death. I have been enduring that since 8 years ago until now.”

Carol smiled despite being slapped on the cheek, showing a kind of madness.

Still, he couldn’t say the same words in front of his father, so he dusted off his clothes and returned his steps.

“On Mother’s Day, bringing a man into the house, a f*cking b*tch…”

“Carl!”

“If it wasn’t for you, if it wasn’t for a trash b*tch like you, her mother wouldn’t have died. I think it would have been better if it had been four years later instead-“

“Go up right now, Carol! Right now!”

“Yes, yes, I understand. Father said, of course, you should listen.”

The man sighed as he looked at Carol who turned away, then bowed his head to me and apologized.

“Sorry for the embarrassing appearance… I’m William White.”

“This is Einheri from the BSG pawnshop. No. It’s not for William to apologize.”

“It is only my fault for teaching my children the wrong way. “

A storm raged out of nowhere, and silence fell in the drawing room. Carefully leaning Legarette on the sofa, she brought the box on the table.

It was a box with no seal or anything attached to it, so it didn’t show that it had been opened.

“This item was purchased from our pawnshop. Please check the receipt here.”

“I am truly sorry for putting you through this situation. I’ll see you later and apologize.”

It must have been Carol who went to work, but the apology was just a laugh at the strange situation William, the parent, was doing. He wasn’t up to the level of home education.

“First of all, I’m worried about Legarete’s physical condition-.”

”If you go back…”

It was a moment of intuition. Something – went wrong.

[Achievement achieved!]

– Don’t look back. Don’t look back don’t look back don’t look back Don’t look back.

“If I went back… Only̽̊̐͌͗͑͜͜ ̴̛̹͇͕̬̫̳̹͕͙͑̒̌̈̑̓̓̚About… Only ̷͔͎̼̭̹͈̰̹͈̹̜̹ ̦̹̩̈̽̆͑̕̕͜͝͝ ̸̴Drugs I I’ll get sick ̷͔͎̼̭̹͈̰̹͈̬̜̹̦̹̩̈̽̆͑̕̕͜͝͝ ̸̴If it wasn’t for you… “

There was a place where she twisted her body violently and turned her head.

“Le Garete?”

There was Legarete, who was crying with the monkey’s hand holding her neck.

Her It wasn’t her tears that flowed from her, but drops of blood.

Drops of blood dripped down into streams and waterfalls, soaking her carpet endlessly red.

Her clear green eyes have become so black that it is difficult to see through them, and only despair comes out of her voice.

“No no no… Why me ̷͔͎̼̭̹͈̰̹͈̬̜̹̦̹̩̈̽̆͑̕̕͜͝͝ ̸̴ Only? Should I ̷͔͎̼̭̹͈̰̹͈̬̜̹̦̹̩̈̽̆͑̕̕͜͝͝ ̸̴? Should I ̷͔͎̼̭̹͈̰̹͈̬̜̹̦̹̩̈̽̆͑̕̕͜͝͝ ̸̴? Me ̷͔͎̼̭̹͈̰̹͈̬̜̹̦̹̩̈̽̆͑̕̕͜͝͝ ̸̴Only …?”

[Yes…. My ̴̛̹͇͕̬̫̳̹͕͙͑̒̌̈̑̋̓̓̚ ̶͈̞̺̜̟͓̬̟̼̼̯̩̪̽̽Not … ̶͈̞̺̜̟͓ ̬̟]

The corners of Legarete’s mouth cut all the way to her ears.

[I wish I had caught you]

-The wish came true.
