Labyrinth City Mesugaki Pawn Shop

35. Finish (1)

When I opened my eyes, what greeted me was the wooden box that was said to have been struck by lightning.

A wooden box with a monkey’s hand in it. Looking around, there was a familiar inside of a pawn shop and Yan looking at me with his chin resting on his chin.

He realized it only when he met that gaze.

“…I did it.”

It’s back, a wish has come true, it’s beyond time.

Exactly three hours ago, I was about to leave the pawnshop after receiving the monkey’s hand from Yan.

“Once again, Heoheo, curiosity might kill Heoheo.”

Yan’s face has sunk.

Without a word, I put the box down and walked forward.

“Huh? Do you have anything else to say?”

I leaned over to Yan, who was looking up at me with my eyes wide open at my sudden action…

“What, what!”

I hugged Yan, who was flustered.

“Huh…!”

He has a small body that fits comfortably in one piece, I couldn’t even say thank you before.

It wasn’t just words to express gratitude.

A warm hug is also one way.

Struggled for a while, Yan leaned on as if he had given up.

“Hey, did I eat something wrong?”

“No, I’m just grateful.”

He only said that he would grant one wish, but it couldn’t have come true if Yan hadn’t properly put magic into his hands.

Beyond time, it would have become something that didn’t exist, but I still had to keep my promise.

A promise to grant one wish.

Unlike the all-powerful monkey hand, I’m not sure what it can do.

When I released the hug, there was Yan with an unknown expression.

“I’ll bring you the box.”

“Uh, yes yes… Go… Go… Go… “

For some reason, I left Yan, who looked dazed, and went out with the box.

Click.

When I opened it slightly, I saw a monkey’s hand moving ominously.

The cause and origin of everything.

Things to be given to William White, not Legarete, but there was a place to stop by before that.

**********

A classic bar set on a polished marble floor.

It was the porters union.

“Welcome, do you want something to drink?”

“Just give me a glass of cool water, Mr. Lucky.”

“Huh?”

He was Lucky, whose eyes widened as if asking how he recognized him.

“Hey… I haven’t told you yet, did you manage to find out?”

“There’s no way I wouldn’t recognize a beauty like Lucky, right?”

“Huh, you speak beautifully. But why did you come here? Was the contract with Yan broken? Or did you come to return the 40 silver coins you got by proceeding with the delivery of Beiseok?”

“I came because of the latter business.”

No matter how much it is a contract, the alliance bought time with desperate efforts.

If it wasn’t for the alliance, there was a time limit that couldn’t even dare to go to the Mage Tower, and Lucky had a personal debt.

A debt that saved Legarete from a crisis in which her heart was about to be pierced.

Instead, a huge hole was pierced in Lucky’s stomach, but…

“If you keep looking at me like that, something seems a bit strange…”

Perhaps he was staring too hard, Lucky took a step back and wrapped his arms around his stomach.

Strange eyes.

“Huh, hmm! No, it’s not like that…”

Somehow, the more I make excuses, the more I feel like I’m getting uglier. I just put my head down.

“I’m here to apologize.”

“Do you know what you did wrong? But I’m only going to say an apology…”

“Apology is-“

I cut Lucky off and looked straight into her eyes.

“Thorough compensation and backed by promises, isn’t that a proper apology?”

At that, Lucky’s eyes narrowed.

“…Have we met before? Is not it? It couldn’t have been…”

“You know that’s an outdated, clichéd work comment, right?”

“If I were only 200 years younger, I would have flirted…”

No, being 200 years younger doesn’t seem to change anything!

“Chunchu, by any chance… Oh, no.”

Seeing his clenched fists, he hastily withdrew his words.

“I really like it… Do you have any intention of joining the alliance?”

“Did I cause damage to the Union?”

He is also a high-ranking criminal who skipped earning pocket money.

“In a world where yesterday’s enemies become today’s friends, how is it? And there are very few people who are so sane these days. How about joining the alliance?”

“Still, I’m already tied up in a pawn shop…”

“Starting salary of 1,200 silver, guarantee of retirement age at age 60, health checkup, support for various congratulations and condolences, employee discount for union services, retirement pension, reward for long-term employees and automatic subscription to basic union insurance, job competency improvement training, support for purchasing books, new hires Mentor system, free to go to work within 150 hours per month, not 9 to 6 uniform commuting.”

“Ahhh…!”

Craving!

Overwhelmingly better conditions than the pawnshop I thought was okay…!

But nothing can be helped.

“Sorry. After all, I think it’s impossible.”

“Well, good. However, it’s okay to come anytime, so if you have nowhere else to go, come visit me.”

At the same time as giving up neatly, even with the intention of not wanting to end the relationship, he was a person worthy of being the head of a group.

“So, what is the reward of an apology?”

“I’m going to tell you how to enter the 21st floor.”

But that was due to an old contract, and the cost of my life was not calculated, but Lucky’s eyes were wide open.

“It’s not a lie…It’s real, really, really?!”

Lucky looked at the sky for a while and had a puzzled look on his face.

Can I accept this? It was a rather burdensome expression.

“This… I apologize for the excessive information. Rather, filtering the change isn’t enough?”

“What do you barely have? I still have more to give you.”

I haven’t even paid for my life yet, so you shouldn’t make that kind of face.

“Didn’t you usually live hearing the name Hogu?”

That’s not too much.

“Is there a star flower on the lower level of the labyrinth?”

′′ Chickweed? Was there anything like that?”

Lucky looked around and asked, but everyone shook their heads.

Well, I just didn’t know.

“It’s a weed that only grows on the first to third floors of the labyrinth. Rather strange to know.”

“Einheri who knows that, do you know that you are the strangest?”

Even if you look at it like this, even if you weren’t good at the game, you can say that you did it with sincerity.

“Originally, it is a feed substitute that is ground and fed to birds or chickens.”

So, it was a weed whose English name was written as chickweed.

But once you know how to use it, it’s too luxurious to feed chickens.

“You can give it a request, or you can mobilize the idle members and ask them to collect it as a group.”

“What is that?”

“The dried powder of ground chickweed petals is a very important ingredient for elixir.”

“If there was such a thing, it would have been known right away-“

“The elixir of immortality, the ingredients.”

I threw a bomb out of nowhere.

“….?!”

Whoop!

A man who had been drinking since broad daylight at one table spewed it out.

“It’s not a key ingredient, but it’s a material that goes into a lot in the extraction process, so even though it’s a common weed, it might be in short supply.”

“So… You mean you have something to do with the elixir?”

“To be precise, I’m telling you about the recipe before selling it to the Mage Tower.”

“The magic tower is the inmate of the elixir recipe…”

I think that’s enough to be worth my life.

If Hayden found out, he’d be angry, but what would he do?

If you twist it, you should have saved my life or you should have stepped out of the mage tower and saved the people in the previous quarter!

Of course, I forgot about it, but I plan to pay the price according to the contract.

“Rip a lot of money from the Mage Tower with a star flower monopoly.”

Thanks for the tip.

**********

After coming out, I naturally got on the waiting carriage.

A coachman with a familiar face approached.

“You-“

“You made a lot of money by betting that I was alive, right? Then, can’t you take me anywhere you want?”

“…Can you do mind reading?”

“Something like that. I have someone to pick me up at the plaza… No, just drop me off at the entrance to the plaza.”

Come to think of it, there was nothing urgent.

It took a while for people to pass through the window, and it took an instant for them to arrive.

There was Yerica and Floren, who had finished organizing the peaceful streets, the plaza where people gathered, and the labyrinth exploration to some extent.

“Yeah..Ka..6 O’clock… With navy blue hair…”

I approached Floren, who was whispering something, and Yerica, who looked startled.

“Huh!”

Yerica, her breath gone, was looking at me with her quivering eyes.

Yerica and Floren, it was the same as the first meeting in my memory.

“Hello, Miss Yerica Myers, Miss Floren Greenwood. My name is Einheri.”

The first time she asked for directions, Ye Rika asked first.

This time, I said hello first.

“Eh.”

“…?”

When I saw the two people with embarrassed expressions when their names were called, all I could do was laugh.

It was a pure meeting with no reason to fight anymore, no need, no help whatsoever.

“Could you give me a minute? There is a place you must go with.”

“Uh… It doesn’t matter if I follow you…”

“Doubt, suddenness.”

At those words, Floren’s eyes narrowed and looked me up and down.

I’m sure if someone asked me to come along as soon as I saw them for the first time, they would.

“It’s because I’m going to the Mage’s Tower, not anything else.”

Yerica’s body trembled at the sound of the magic tower.

“I’m on my way to see Hayden Walker.”

“hehehehe.”

Yerica, terrified at her word Hayden, hid behind Floren, only sticking her head out.

“And I have something for Floren?”

“What can I give you?”

“Yes. She has been beholden to another Greenwood before and wants to reciprocate.”

I promised Floren earlier.

[…I’ll just talk to Hayden later.]

And it was also a way for her to drag them away at once.

“Porginei, a cannibal plant. Aren’t you interested?”

**********

At the same time as she said Porgineira, Floren pulled out Yerica, who was hiding behind herself, and led her on the way to her magic tower.

“Floren is a traitor!”

“No betrayal, keep going!”

When she didn’t go quickly, stabbing her with a bow was the perfect example of a good minion.

How can a man-eating plant behave like this?

“Welcome to the Magic Tower, may I know what business you are visiting?”

“I came to see Elder Hayden Walker.”

“Did you make a reservation?”

“I don’t have any prior arrangements… But can you tell me that Einheri visited the BSG pawnshop run by the Yann Estorian witch?”

“Now, please wait!”

Let’s sell Yan’s name. The process went on in an instant.

At the same time, the expression of Ye Rika, who was next to her, began to rot in real time.

“At the witch’s shop…! Hee hee! Blood, Phil-win!”

“You don’t have to do it because you’re not a senior.”

Of course, I didn’t believe it at all.

Climbing the stairs and heading to the top floor, what greeted me was a familiar room.

The difference from before is that you can no longer see the ruins of the city outside the window.

She tossed Yerica to Hayden, shaking her body as if she had been dragged to her slaughterhouse.

So what… Yerica is a kind of sacrifice and a necessary lubricant for relationships.

If you hit it with a computer, it feels like thermal grease, and if you hit it with a car, it feels like Bulls X Shot.

“Eh, he looks like an ugly disciple! Her skills are still like this!”

Put simply, it was an insult.

“So why did the pawnshop employee ask to see me? Even by selling Yan’s name.”

“I came here to make a suggestion.”

The recipe for the Elixir of Immortality, which had previously been offered as a condition of stopping Legarete, this time was to repay Yerica and Floren.

Exchanging the recipe for the Elixir of Immortality and the official entry ticket to the Mage Tower’s Underground Warehouse.

As soon as he threw that out, Hayden asked the same question as before.

“Hey, what’s your relationship with that adventurer?”

Nagishingkungkotto.

“Please make sure that the transaction of the recipe includes the unsolicited value.”

He was the possessor of the previous car that he did not want to get entangled with anymore.

Nothing works as long as that person’s name gets in the way.

“Then why did you make such a losing trade?”

Even after signing the contract with Hayden, she was tied up for a long time, and Ye Rika, who was released, was looking at me with her puzzled expression.

“I don’t understand. No matter how many ghosts there are in the basement storage of the Mage Tower, I don’t think there’s anything comparable to the recipe for the Elixir of Immortality… Besides, you’re only going to bring three.”

“I agree, Einheri, mistake”

“There is no such thing as greed.”

Besides, she also had a life that had already exploded.

For some reason, she bought the goddess of hatred and became an unlucky person who could not reach any clear point in her life.

If you collect and collect things related to immortality, maybe you can barely return to your gray hair and bushy beard.

She even thought about praying for the monkey’s hand, but without the help of the goddess called Achievement Points, she couldn’t even turn back time.

However, she thought, ‘If it’s Goddess Theia, she might be…’.

Of course, it’s not that I don’t have plans to go back, but…

The number of gambles that may or may not work, it was a way that it would not be too late to try and settle down in this world.

100 Years is enough time left before the second part begins.

Impatience was poison rather than poison.

“Aren’t you curious on the contrary?”

“Which one?”

“What are the three things I’m trying to take from the Mage Tower’s warehouse, even giving up the recipe?”

He grinned at Yerica and Floren, who were absent-minded.

“I’m sure you’ll like them both.”

Maybe Yerica likes to run around.

The Promise with Yan – The Right to Wish.

Contract with Lucky – 21st floor of the labyrinth.

Floren – Cannibal plant Porginei

And the promise I made with Yerica.

It was said that it was a promise that was lost by skipping time, but I remembered it accurately.

And there was an obligation to fulfill.

If it wasn’t for Yerica’s help, I wouldn’t have reached this place either.

Still unforgettable shouts and appearances.

‘Teckeli-li!’

It was time to get a fair price.
