Labyrinth City Mesugaki Pawn Shop

6. Pawnshop (5)

I was beaten so hard that I was worried that a bump the size of a fist would come out when I woke up, and then I was finally able to open the contract again.

Yan’s signature was already included. Contrary to the appearance of a cheeky little boy with a smug smile, his handwriting is elegant and antique. And below that, there was a space to write my name.

After all, it would be dangerous to write in Korean as it is, right?

In the yard where ‘Nigisingkungkotto’, the possessed chair in the first round, wrote the message under his stone statue in Korean, writes his name in Korean as it is in the signature box?

That too in front of Jan Estoria?

[hehehehe & What happened? He writes the same letters as that adventurer & Poor handwriting &]

I’d rather put my concrete shoes on my feet and jump under the Mapo Bridge. If so, wouldn’t he be able to at least chase him into the water and say “Wrong”? I don’t know if it’s huh fu huh.

It has only been a year since the protagonist of the first episode found the Philosopher’s Stone and the ending came out. Perhaps now he is gaining popularity like a celebrity who has risen to stardom. Who is the employee of my store?

Ah hahahaha, even I can’t stand it, but that soft-spoken boss? How the hell do you hold on to that curiosity!

The Philosopher’s Stone is a crystal with enormous magic power enough to block the connection with the demon world by itself, and unlike the size of a 10-pound bowling ball depicted on the stone statue, it is actually a small jewel the size of a thumb. I’m sure there will be people who are drawn to it by that strangeness and are asking questions in all directions, but if my name were to be exposed to such people…

“I don’t even want to imagine.”

I didn’t even think that I could survive with the body of a 17-year-old boy who had no strength and was not my original body.

So, I simply wrote it as an abbreviation with only the first letter.

Eunharim

E H R

When I simply shortened it to three letters, the awkwardness of writing with my left hand, which I do not use well, was evident in the handwriting. What, would you put Gensei for bad handwriting?

“What is it? EHR?”

Yan approached before I knew it and pushed his head towards the contract in his arms. At the same time, the fragrant scent of peaches poured into his breathing.

“EHR… EHR… I’ve heard of it a lot. Ah.”

As if realizing something, Yan patted himself on the forehead and muttered a name he had never heard before.

“Einheri?”

As I talked with my head lowered toward the name written on the contract in my hand, I could only see the back of Yan’s head. When I stayed still without saying anything out of embarrassment, Yan started to interpret my name as he wanted.

“From the North?”

“…Yes?”

“EHR, isn’t Einheri a name usually used in the North? Besides, it’s blue hair. There must have been a tribe in the Norse that was famous for blue hair, but where was it… I can’t remember.”

I thought I could read it like that.

“Hmm… I did come down from there.”

′′ Uheung, I’m from the north. Usually they’re all muscle mass monsters. I didn’t even think of it.”

It was true.

The warriors of the north who were crazy about going to catch the saber tiger with only rope and wooden poles were a nation of monsters with thighs over 33 inches thick.

‘Kuhahahahaha! A rookie like this is an adventurer exploring the labyrinth?’

‘Your limbs aren’t even as good as a toothpick to get the meat out of your teeth? You need some training! The training of heavy steel and cold ice!”

-I heard that a lot in the voices of my colleagues when I was playing the 3rd game. There was a case where I lowered the sound effect volume key one notch because it was so loud.

Originally, the northern region was a place that only appeared in Labyrinth Maze 3, but I didn’t know that a story like this would come out here.

It’s not a game, it’s really a living reality.

Maybe that’s why the butterfly effect like now happened.

The main character of the first episode robbed all the rewards in advance.

Stealing the holy sword that only appears in the second half of the 2nd episode and distilling even a single drop of bone broth into it.

This would not have happened if the reality was simply following the game.

“EHR, Einheri, Einheri, Einheri… A pretty name, right?”

Eunha-rim had been changed to Einheri before I knew it, but I didn’t point it out. It might not be a bad idea to create a pseudonym. It was strange to stick with the old name when the time and place had changed. Since it’s inside the game, I should live with a name more appropriate for the game.

Then how to put new wine in new wineskins

“Hey.”

“Huh?”

“Please call me Harry, owner Yan… No, boss.”

Oh, I said it wrong.

As stated in the contract, it was only a relationship between an employee and the president. Not slaves and masters.

Perhaps, I wondered if I would have been expelled from the castle and caught by outlaws, or if it was a few days later, really caught by the guards and wandered around the world as a slave as a person with no connections, but I’m glad it didn’t happen…

When you enter the city, your identity is checked first, but who would have imagined a case like me when you suddenly woke up and found yourself in the castle naked?

“Ugh…!”

At those words, Yan suddenly pulled back his gun with his head down, and cupped my cheeks with both of his hands.

“Tell me again, crappy…♡”

“Your name? Harry…”

“After that, so after that…”

“Mr. Yan?”

“No, before that! Jeon!”

For some reason, I was very angry.

“Master Yan?”

“Ahhh…Heh…♡”

Ah, this was just a mistake…

Now he had his head turned backwards and his body trembled. Perhaps because of her fair skin and gray hair, she could clearly see her gradually blushing ears.

Is this something to be so angry about?

“You…Don’t ever say that with a face like that anywhere. Never. Oh no. It’s okay in front of me, but… I don’t want to make mistakes with other people… Okay, crap?”

“Ah, yes… I’ll be careful, boss.”

You must have signed the contract, you are a legitimate employer, so now you have to obey.

“Ah… It’s so good… I like it♡ So… You’re wrong…♡”

It seemed to be saying something, but it was too small to be heard. As if she was about to go up the stairs, leaving Yan alone for a while, as if the heat was not cooling down, she suddenly bumped into a wall.

“Evil!”

From the forehead to the nose, the jingling and resounding thing was properly nailed. He lifted his head and looked around, but saw nothing to snag.

When I put my hand forward, it was blocked in the air as if an invisible glass wall had been hit.

There was only one person who could do this.

“Uh… Boss?”

“Where are you going?”

“Yeah, to the room… After I came out of the shower, I saw an empty room right next to me…”

“Really? But why are you going up?”

“Uh… Wasn’t I supposed to be staying here?”

There was something strange about the atmosphere. It feels like an unknown red signal is ringing in my head.

“Well, since we signed the contract, shall we go into the calculation again?”

A flushed face, slightly sweaty hair and strangely red eyes…

‘Star shape?’

For an instant, the pupils looked like stars. Aye, that must be my mistake. How can human eyes be star-shaped?

“The salary paid on the 5th of every month is 100 silver coins?”

“Uh… Yes.”

“According to the contract, the welfare benefits provided to the store are food expenses or provision of meals, not lodging.”

Wait a minute.

“Accommodation has to be paid for with one’s own salary… We, poor people, don’t have the money for that, do we? Aren’t you a day 0 employee who hasn’t even worked properly yet?”

Something, something was going strangely.

“Then, I have no choice but to give Jan Estoria, who is full of ‘self. Calculate the standard price according to the standard terms and conditions of the guide service, such as accommodation charges according to the imperial laws, and consider the overall inflation rate of the labyrinth city…”

Incomprehensible words were exchanged.

“In other words, this is the amount Heoheop Harry has to pay.”

It was a number roughly scribbled on the leftover paper, but there was no particular problem recognizing it. The problem must be my surprised mind.

“…40 Silver coins…?”

What the f*ck, 40 silver coins for sleeping! Considering that one silver coin is worth 100,000 won, this was an absurd act of violence. A room of only 5 pyeong costs 4 million won a month?

“This is too expensive!”

“Then why did you think Harry would be cold?”

Yan’s mouth was smiling, but his eyes were cold. A different atmosphere rose from what had been lame and lame until now.

“This is the most important point in the Labyrinth City, and it is a building in the middle of where all logistics come and go. Transportation is so convenient that you can get anywhere in the city within an hour if you start from here. Like the main street, water facilities are well equipped, and above all, the best security in the city is maintained.”

As Yan approached, a leather pouch magically welled up in Yan’s arms and landed on my hand. When I opened the inside with a heavy feeling, what was inside was none other than a bundle of silver coins.

Dozens, hundreds… Are you going to exceed it?

“This is 100 silver coins Harry would get if he worked for a month. Well, for this kind of money, you might be able to find cheap lodging somewhere else. In order to attract as many adventurers in the city as possible to their inn, they often offer long-term accommodation at a low price.”

“Anyone who knows that-“

“Then, can you believe that?”

I was speechless.

“Leave all your belongings, put the amount of 100 silver coins you earn every month in that room, come here, and go back in the evening. And next month, next month, do you think you can sleep comfortably every night with the money piled up? Maybe a bad adventurer will break through the door and take all the money you have – or the inn owner will pay attention to you and rob you of your room and pretend you don’t know – don’t you think so?”

The answer was fixed.

“Can you spend your day properly with only one wooden door in the middle of the soundproofing?”

“I’m sure there isn’t…?”

“The value of 40 silver coins I measured is not simply a figure considering the price of this city. What I want to price and sell is safety and trust.”

“…Safe and reliable.”

I couldn’t refute anything.

Because this wasn’t the simple game I knew.

It wasn’t just money made of numbers, it could be stolen at any time because it was visible to anyone. Like the infinite inventory of an adventurer character, it was not a world that could be carried around without any problems even if you put in 9,999,999,999 gold cheats.

More money leads to people’s greed, and greed leads to anger.

And that misfortune must point to me.

“……In that sense, pawnshop vs -bleeding service-! 40 Silver coins for a month’s accommodation at B&S&G’s special in-house price? No! 50%!, Half price! Only 20 silver coins, I will serve you for 20 silver coins!”

A fanfare exploded out of nowhere, and Yan’s smiling face was right in front of my eyes. Then, like a storm, incomprehensible words began to pour into my ears.

“The accommodation contract must indicate the main contents of the standard terms and conditions, and the accommodation contractor must sign a mana signature based on the Ma Tower official certificate when subscribing, or a means to ensure safety and reliability in compliance with the standards set by the committee You must sign in your own handwriting, except when you have confirmed the contents of the subscription by using If the accommodation contract holder signs up through an agent, the solicitor obtains the consent of the accommodation contract and asks or explains matters necessary for the conclusion of the accommodation contract, such as the contents of the subscription, payment of the accommodation fee, the period of accommodation, the obligation to notify, and the main contents of the terms and conditions, and answers thereto. Evidence is to be secured, such as mana and voice recording of confirmation details. And…..”

A quick-fire rap, an insurance contract that can only be experienced over the phone on Earth, was being spread through the mouth of a witch in another world.

What kind of terrible nightmare is this?

aaah! Please stop! Why are you doing this to me!

“…That’s it. Next, it is related to accommodation contracts according to Imperial laws…”

“Take it! Take it! 20 Silver coins, 20 silver coins, right? Please take it Please… stamp… No, I’ll stamp it!”

I was fed up with the violence of pure words, like a rap battle of souls that lasted for 30 minutes. It was only after he accidentally disrupted the contract and signed it that he was able to stop this insane runaway locomotive.

“Huh, if Heocheopheri says so. I can’t help it, should I end it at this point♡”

What a f*cking b*tch.

The gin is gone.

“Ha… But why do you only get 20 silver coins? You said it was 40 silver coins at first.”

“Huh? Of course, isn’t it common sense to inflate the first price? Who else would want to get a room for that price without being crazy?”

“Yes?”

“Price pumping is the basic common sense of a pawnshop. After purchasing an item for 5 silver coins and calling the selling price for 40 silver coins, after some adjustment, you get 20 silver coins. Well, if I call for 40 silver coins in the middle, wouldn’t that be a good thing?”

In other words, he bluffed me. Besides, the metaphor of those 5 silver coins, 40 silver coins, and 20 silver coins…

”Then the price of the room… It was 5 silver coins a month…?”

“There’s no way there’s a more expensive room than that, right? It’s not even a hotel where nobles stay. Huh ♡”

“Scam contract! It’s a fraudulent contract! Invalid! Invalid! Ooh oh oh!”

I tried to tear the contract right away, but it was strengthened by his magical power, and instead of being torn, it was being erected even more stiffly.

“The poor Harry who lightly ignored the terms and conditions of the contract♡ Can’t sleep because of the overpriced lodging fee? I’m looking forward to payday♡ 20% of the room price withholding tax♡ Thank you thank you♡”

“Uh…aaa!”

Perhaps it was because of the surge of emotions, my eyes were spinning at the sudden high blood pressure.

This… This… Read the f*ck b*tch hahahaha…..

A consciousness that sinks in an instant like the Titanic meeting a glacier.

That was my last memory of day 1.
