Labyrinth City Mesugaki Pawn Shop

13. Witches (2)

As we headed towards the main gate, there were guards still acting at an angle.

There used to be two people before, but now there are well over five people, most of them were busy managing the waiting list in front of the mansion.

As I stood in front of the main gate, a boy who seemed to be quite young ran in hastily without even putting on his hat properly and pointed at the back. Twelve years old? Three years old?

“Sorry! Today’s visitors who came to see Legarete should go to the back of the queue!”

“I’m here to deliver the goods to Mr. William White, not to Legarete.”

“Yes? Oh, could you wait a moment?”

A familiar face appeared as if he had received the report of the boy who had returned.

He was one of the two guards who let me into the mansion before.

“Are you Einheri from the B&S&G pawnshop?”

“Uh… Yes. You’re right.”

“When I arrived, I was contacted to escort you right away. You can go inside.”

As the front door opened wide, it was colorless to worry about whether I should go back and stand in line, and all eyes were focused on this direction.

Contact? It was the first I’d heard of it. A sense of bewilderment came over me in a situation that had never existed before.

“Did you make a separate appointment?”

“Einheri, Witch, Gumyeon, Preconceived?”

Both Yerica and Floren looked surprised and asked me, but couldn’t answer.

No, I don’t even know!

“For me to enter the witch’s house… Wow, the magic from the entrance is amazing… A method that has both practicality and beauty, as expected, witch!”

Instead of looking at the mansion, Yerica, who was busy taking a thorough look around her, including the flower beds, was admiring it.

“Is it so amazing?”

“That’s right, because it’s rare for a wizard like me to enter a witch’s house. Most of the people waiting at the entrance over there will also be thrown out. It’s because the witch doesn’t meet everyone.”

He said that the witch’s house itself was a mass of defensive spells that could be called a fortress. Just by looking at her, she says that she is a valuable study for a wizard like herself.

To me, it’s just a flower bed with pretty flowers in bloom.

“By the way, I heard earlier that Einheri works at a pawnshop?”

“The owner of the pawn shop is different, and I’m just a wage earner.”

“Hmm, then the appraiser? I think it would suit me somehow. ‘This item is a dagger with a pattern that can be found in ruins from 500 years ago.’

What do you want from a freshman on day 1 who is still warm?

“Rather than that, B&S&G pawnshop, BSG… BSG… I’m sure I’ve heard of it somewhere…”

“BSG, Bsilgol?, Strange Shop, Mineral Grade.”

It was an instant when the blood drained from Yerica’s face as she tilted her head and let out an inexplicable groan.

‘hehehe’

“That… Einheri’S’? Ho, by any chance, the name of the owner of the pawn shop…?”

“…This is Yan Esttoria.”

At that, Yerica immediately put her head and knees on the ground and began to pray.

Floren also looked surprised and took a step away from me.

“Sir, I’m sorry I didn’t know about you! Sorry! You didn’t know that you were under Esttoria-sama!”

“Yan, wizard? A witch disciple, another witch, a promise, understanding and consent.”

I’m Yan’s apprentice?

He had to clear things up early before any ridiculous misunderstandings piled up. He straightened the body of Yerica, who was lying flat on the floor. The trembling body was ‘real’.

“First of all, I am not a wizard. I don’t even have the ability to do that.”

“But… Being under Jan-nim-“

“I’m just an employee. I’ve never learned anything like magic.”

But it wasn’t that I didn’t want to learn at all. If you’re thinking of going into a dungeon someday, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to learn one or two. But that’s for later.

“I, you’re not really?”

An uneasy look came out of Yerica’s face as she quietly raised her head.

“If you do this, later absorb the mana stone right before it explodes… Ban recovery medicine in the state of mana exhaustion… Feed a living slime… Aren’t you telling your juniors not to deal with wizards like me?”

sh*t, it’s not a bad habit for marines in another world, is there such a thing among wizards?

Why is it that I can imagine the tail of the Mage Tower that I haven’t even seen yet?

‘Hey! mana!’

“It’s not like that. Raise your head.”

“Yan, question, how are you a disciple?”

“No, it’s because I’m not a disciple.”

“Ha, but usually it is the wizards who are under the witch… If there are people who are not wizards under her, they will have a problem with what she is asked to do… Seo, I thought you were a senior.”

It was said that it was extremely rare to hire an ordinary person.

Come to think of it, that’s really true. What was Yan thinking when he hired me? For the same money, he’d be better off hiring a wizard, but 100 silver coins isn’t a small amount.

“hehehe… Or I’m glad.”

Scratching her head as if embarrassed, Yerica stood up, let out a sigh of relief and smiled blankly.

What kind of happening is this?

“Then, let’s go.”

The dragon grabbed the handle of the engraved wooden front door. And-

-Warning-

[Do you want to enter the boss room Do you want to enter?]

Y / N

-Difficulty : ???

An unbelievable window appeared in front of my eyes.

I hurriedly removed my hand from the window I was so familiar with.

“Huh? Einheri, why are you like that?”

“…Get your hands off the door right now.”

I hurriedly grabbed Yerica’s hand as she opened the door instead of me.

It was a simple phrase asking if you would like to enter the boss room, but in my heart that accepted it, it was not at all like that.

Because it was never a phrase that would be seen in the city.

After entering the labyrinth, a phrase that only appeared after clearing all the rooms on the floor, and a warning message that only appeared when entering the boss room that you had to grab to go to the next floor, were displayed on the door of the mansion.

It must have been only me seeing Yerica and Floren tilting her head.

What the f*ck?

What went wrong where?

There was only one case in the game where the boss room was activated outside the labyrinth.

In the mid-to-late half of Labyrinth Maze 2, the Demon King’s army, who was holding their breath inside the labyrinth, finally completely escapes from the labyrinth and destroys the city, only appearing once in the story. It happened.

Entering the boss room without any preparation in the game is obviously an act of suicide, but now that it has become a reality?

1 Mage, 1 archer, and 1 completely useless civilian.

Well, no matter how you look at it, it’s a one-second cut.

“I left something for a while so I can go back-“

[Applicable On the stairs Escape Can No.]

f*ck is this a game! A boss room in front, a situation where the retreat is blocked in the back?

“Do you have any problems?”

Yes, there is a big problem. We’re all f*cked up.

A situation where you can either step back or recklessly enter. In fact, this case was not entirely absent in the game. It was a common beginner’s mistake.

In the clearing of miscellaneous mobs and mid-bosses that appear before entering the boss room, the quantity of various consumables was not even basicly calculated, and all consumables ran out.

All of the party members are getting sick, but there is not even a bottle of basic HP potion left, and the priest’s sacred power is also exhausted, making even minimal treatment impossible.

It was a mistake that I only realized when I reached the end.

Regrets always come late.

It was a losing situation once I entered.

Of course, my case is a little different, but I wonder if it’s the same in that I’m not prepared…

[Who threatens you with a knife to enter the boss room unprepared? If you twist it, you can overwrite the save file at the starting point again.

[Boss Room Entry Time limit : 01:00…00:59…58…]

-Non-entry Once Failed Consider (Party All ＜ /B＞Died)-

f*ck this guy is actually threatening with a knife!!!

“…Let’s go in.”

There was no choice.

“Whoa…”

He let out a long sigh and opened the door with trembling hands.

f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

As soon as I entered, there were two people who caught my eye.

A blond-haired man who appears to be in his late teens and a maid standing behind him.

I quickly scanned the surroundings, but the mansion itself was no different from before. It didn’t give off a gloomy atmosphere like the boss rooms in the game, nor did it have blood on the floor. Only the warm sunlight shines on the floor.

But my eyes and hands trembled as if I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.

A sight that I can’t control with my slender will.

‘Gulp’

In the hallway that became so quiet that the sound of swallowing echoed, it was over there that spoke first.

“Are you Mr. Einheri?”

“Hello, this is Einheri from the B&S&G pawnshop. I’m here to deliver the goods to Mr. William White.”

“My father is away for a while because of an appointment. My name is Carl White, the second son of the White family.”

It was reversed.

In the place where Legarete should be, her younger brother, Carol, was there. Her sunken cheeks and sunken eyes, which were different from before her death, were clearly those of an invalid.

And it wasn’t just people that changed.

What was reflected in my eyes, which naturally went down, was Karl White’s legs, as if looking at a dry branch.

Unlike Legarette, who wore a voluminous skirt, her legs stand out even more because she only wore pants.

Polio.

Why is Carl William?

“Ah…”

“…”

Yerica and Floren also didn’t say a word, but when they saw Carol sitting in a wheelchair, they let out short saliva as if they were surprised.

Carol pointed to the side with a wry smile as if that gaze was familiar.

“If you don’t mind, could you wait in the parlor for a while? It’s probably time for your father to come back soon…”

“Yes, it is fine. There are two of us in the party. Will it be okay?”

“As much as you like, could you prepare some tea? Michelle?”

“Yes, boy.”

When the lady-in-waiting by her side left to prepare her tea, Carol turned the wheels of her wheelchair as if she was used to it and headed for the drawing room.

As I followed him, there were things that stood out.

Most of the rooms have hinged doors and thresholds.

And most of them are stairs.

The only thing that existed was a high-angled uphill road that Carol could barely climb without struggling.

A window located at a high place so that Carol in a wheelchair cannot see outside.

The heights of the shelves where things are placed were all at a place where even I had to reach out.

It was a mansion that had no consideration for Carol at all, but rather was filled with disgust.

A familiar sight, but a scene that could not be explained in words, which caused a separation from my memory more than anything else.

What is it? For what?

As I followed Carol, who struggled up the slope, the appearance of the drawing room was not much different from what I remembered.

From a giant buffalo head to a stuffed whole deer head.

Unlike Yerikawa, who looks at her curiously, Floren’s eyes frowned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

And in that parlor, there was only one thing that was different from my memory.

“Hmm? Are you a guest, Carol?”

“…Yes, sister. This is the person you spoke of earlier.”

Karl White’s older sister and one of the few people I remember.

There was no longer a frail, powerless girl, but a woman with bleached platinum hair cascading down her shoulders.

”Nice to meet you, Einheri, This is Legarete White.”
