Labyrinth City Mesugaki Pawn Shop

85. Golden Olive (2)

I thought I would catch it soon.

“Cluck!”

If it were a human, it would not be about XL, but more than XXL, that overweight chicken that even plus-size models would have to give up… The speed at which the phoenix escaped was literally lightning fast.

It looks like a blowfish puffed up, but it’s as fast as an ostrich crossing the field with all its might.

“Kkkogogogok!”

The sight of them climbing up on the roof above me, out of my reach, triumphantly spreading their wings and shaking their heads, made my fever jump.

Einheri, who was chasing chickens, looks at the roof.

“Well, this is heo-jeop defeated.”

“I see, Einheri-nim lost.”

Everyone nodded…Why are they nodding!

…I’m going to catch that pigskin today and pluck out all its feathers!

If you can’t catch it with your own hands, how to borrow someone else’s hand, you have to run the K-subcontracting system that boasts a long history and tradition.

The place I was headed was none other than Yan… But Devgrew, who was scratching the ball at Yan’s shoulder.

“Cheap…”

Devgrew doesn’t seem to be interested in this situation, but-

“If you catch that piglet, you will receive unlimited free snacks for one year.”

“Stupid!”

“What! Devgrew!”

“

As soon as he heard the condition, it was Dev Grew who spurred Yan’s shoulder in an instant and jumped up and threw his body.

As if my triangular jump skills, which I used to do on my bed in the past, hadn’t gone anywhere, I bounced off a pillar and reached the front of that phoenix before I knew it.

Truly a feat close to divine.

“Go! Pika…No, headbutt Devgru!”

To put it mildly, it’s not the electricity attribute, but the plague attribute… But what’s the point!

It’s important to be able to defeat that phoenix right now!

Although Phoenix’s level is 27 and Devguru’s level is 25… Little peppers are spicy, and because of obesity, that pig, who was carrying debuffs on his own, couldn’t use his power properly.

“Stupid!”

“Twisted clothes?!”

Dev Gru rushes in under the protection of the snack, but the phoenix flutters his wings in panic as if he didn’t expect it, and then throws himself into the sky.

I could have escaped by gliding normally, but…

“A twist, a twist?”

Perhaps he hadn’t thought of his own enlarged body, and he was caught in the grip of gravity in an instant.

As expected, chicken head!

“Sizzling!”

Even Devgru started to spin round and round as if it was too much to balance his body as he draped over one wing and fell to the floor.

“Good job Devgrew!”

I hurled my whole body towards the phoenix, which could hardly stand up properly, perhaps because of the damage it had fallen to the floor while being upside down, and grabbed it as hard as I could.

“Kkogogogok!”

It was hit in the face by the fluttering wings as if it wouldn’t be caught easily, and the feathers fluttered in all directions, but it managed to subdue the feathers.

“GOT-CHA!”

I don’t have a Poké Ball, but I feel like I have to shout for some reason.

When I stood up holding on to the wings as if I were catching a chicken in a country farm, I couldn’t move and just cried bitterly.

And…

“…I’m sorry, but I’d like you to refrain from such actions in the presence of other people…”

“Yes?”

“Your apprentices don’t look very happy.”

I looked around slowly and only then did I realize what I was like.

A picture of him holding on to a chicken with all his might, with his entire body covered in chicken feathers and dust rolling on the floor.

“Uh…Um…”

At me like that, Yan covered his mouth and smiled.

“Awkwardness WWW”

Crying.

No, I was arrested because of you! I’m sorry I can’t praise you!

“Coits www”

“Ugh.”

I could only sigh.

**********

Eventually, I returned to the drawing room almost kicked out of the garden.

Of course, with the phoenix wings tightly clenched in both hands.

“…Kkokkoo…”

No matter how sadly I cried, I wanted to lose it, but I couldn’t.

It is a valuable body needed to restore Yan’s body.

When I turned my head at the sad gaze I felt from somewhere, I saw Raffy staring at me without a word.

“…Sorry”

I had nothing to say.

“It’s okay, because this is also destiny.”

But for some reason, Raffy didn’t seem to care.

“Um… I’m sorry, can I borrow this fire… No, a chicken for a minute?”

It’s not like you need phoenix meat, just a few feathers.

Pick up some of these coveted tail feathers right now, but it looks like it will work… But in case you don’t know what will happen, taking the phoenix itself will be a surefire way.

But… I wondered if this was really good..

The state of the phoenix seen from a closer perspective is truly shocking.

[LV 27 Phoenix – Air Force One]

– Abnormal condition: Obesity (BMI 112.45)

– This object has 14 underlying diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, fatty liver, cholelithiasis, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.

…..f*ck, didn’t I just try to use this and get burned?

It’s a total mess.

At the level of a walking general hospital, even a person would be confined to an intensive care unit until they die.

Even at a chicken restaurant Ah, this is an extreme lump of fat that will be returned while doing a little bit.

It’s clear this bastard, he’ll be resurrected anyway, so he must have lived his own way!

‘Yeah, try getting an adult disease, you idiot hahahahaha.

It was a body that could not be explained otherwise.

“Ha… What the hell have you been eating all this time…”

After staring at the phoenix for a while, Raffy nodded and said yes.

“You can take me with you.”

“Really?”

“Hey, why are you so obsessed with this chicken?”

Yan, who was poking at the chicken breast, looked at it with curious eyes, but couldn’t tell the truth.

This is a phoenix a…

“Because it’s a phoenix.”

“…Huh?”

“What’s wrong?!”

“Kkokkok?!”

But it was Raffy, not me, who said that.

A revelation that will make me, Jan, Devgrude, and even the Phoenixes open their eyes wide in surprise.

Before she could hide her surprised eyes, she nodded her head.

“If you’re asking if you knew, yes, I did.”

“…..I didn’t expect this.”

It would be a different story if you knew that she secretly tried to pluck her feathers while you knew her as a chicken.

“…May I ask how you know?”

Even in the alliance, it was said that the existing Phoenix was the only one that the Mage Tower owner had as a summoned beast, but even that one died, so it was said that it had virtually ceased to exist.

Raffy speaks of such a phoenix without much agitation, as if it were natural, to the point of cognitive dissonance.

“I knew from the beginning.

“If this is your first time…”

“I knew after I was chosen as a saint, and the church concealed the existence of the phoenix for 150 years.”

“…”

“It’s because the hero of the previous generation asked me not to do anything after finding the phoenix. Because you said that someone will come to take it after some time.”

“The person to take it is…”

” This is Einheri.”

I got this feeling.

It’s me.

Definitely something to do with me.

A feeling of tightness ran through her body, like a ball of thread caught in a cat’s claw that had been twisted.

Goddess Lee, f*ck you, please… I just want you to clean up your sh*t. Why are you throwing that sh*t at other people!

“The reason I called Einheri today is also related to this. It’s not exactly a phoenix, but a story related to the person who left it.”

Yeah yeah, that might have something to do with it f*ck…

It’s even weirder if you don’t have it.

I just let go of the phoenix wings I was holding.

The door to the drawing room is closed anyway, so you can’t get out even if you struggle to get out.

Besides, it’s a bonus that Yan’s eyes looking at the phoenix… Have changed slightly.

“Kko, kko kko!”

“Hmm, a phoenix… That chicken is a phoenix… Is it really a phoenix?”

“…Yes, that’s right.”

“How did Heocheob find out about that?”

It’s scary to show a gap, and it’s stabbed in, and I try to make excuses that aren’t excuses accordingly.

You can’t say you can see the information window.

“I got information from the Porters Association.”

“That black mistress gave you the information? Joy?”

“It’s not a gift, it’s a trade.”

It was a legitimate exchange in exchange for information from the upper floors of the labyrinth.

For a while, the phoenix stopped wandering around and hid behind Raffy.

Like that or not, Rafi took something out of his arms.

“A note?”

It was also a very old, faded, worn-out note.

I was worried that just accepting it would break it, but fortunately it didn’t seem like that.

“This is an item left by the Order’s warrior 150 years ago. He said that he asked me to deliver it to Einheri-sama, who is under the Witch.”

“….?”

First of all, I never left anything like that.

Because it went back to the future before leaving it.

Then there is only one person who can leave something like this.

The one who was able to fight back against the real power of the foreign press that took over my body for a while.

Former regressor.

When I opened the note, familiar letters greeted me.

Hangeul, and that was just a short one-line sentence.

When the words that I couldn’t see in this world conveyed their meaning, I had no choice but to open my eyes wide.
