chapter 21
21. who?
After finishing dinner with Luna, I returned to the inn to rest my tired body.
“Haa~ I’m full.”
Today is a day when I have no income and only money is flexed.
I bought wire rope and stakes, but I couldn’t use them, I paid for the wagon ride to the Joven Plain, and I spent the money to make weapons.
It wasn’t a request, so there was no money coming back.
It wasn’t for nothing that people didn’t catch me because I didn’t have money.
But the good thing is that the money I robbed at the restaurant the other day was enough, so it’s okay to just play and eat for a week.
While I was lying down and thinking about what to do until I received the weapon tomorrow, Luna quietly approached me and called me.
“Luke.”
“uh?”
“We were followed.”
What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. At first I heard a sound following me from behind, and later I heard a sound following me from the roof. The last thing I heard was from the roof of the inn we were staying at.”
Why didn’t you tell me about it earlier and come and say it now?
And the words are tailing, so it’s no different than just stalking?
I didn’t know what the difference between tailing and stalking was from before.
“Hmm… I haven’t done anything worthy of being followed.”
Who would follow me, saying that there is no one who is kind and honest like me?
ah! Perhaps!
“Are you an assassin sent by someone who likes me?!”
If I can’t have it, I’ll kill you! What is it?
The world is so ugly.
“From my point of view, Luke-sama seems to have many places to live…”
“It’s Luna. It’s not enough just to add Nimja to the end of your name.”
If you look at him, he doesn’t look like a slave, but a friend who only uses honorifics?
“Anyway, I don’t know the cause.”
I lay down on the bed and rolled around loudly.
So Luna raised one hand as if taking an oath and said carefully.
“I think it might be because of me.”
“And did you say that to me?”
“Aren’t you curious about the reason rather than that?”
“Yeah. Not really.”
Why do you need a reason
Honestly, I feel like I want to say thank you to the other person.
He said he would walk on his own feet and give his life to become my experience. What a great housewarming gift!
The other day, after confirming that the experience points were coming in from the murder, I decided not to stop the person who attacked me right after.
It’s less efficient than catching monsters, so I don’t go around slaughtering them, but there’s no need to kick the experience points that come to me.
“Then what do you plan to do now?”
I grinned at Luna’s question and asked back.
“Luna, what do you think I would do? Guess what.”
“······If it’s Luke-sama, I think he’ll lure you in.”
***
For that reason, I lured them in.
No, to be precise, rather than being lured in, I waited.
If he came to kill me anyway, even if he didn’t do anything and wait, he’d come back on his own.
I cleverly camouflaged myself by putting two pillows under the blanket as if I was having a good night’s sleep, and hid in my blind spot until they came in.
And time passes by when all the light outside disappears.
‘He really came.’
As if Luna’s words about being followed were true, the owner of the room was looking openly when three black guys came in through the window.
Then, thinking that the futon sticking out over there was me, I stabbed it with a knife at the same time, and I thought shadow boxing was talking about something like that.
‘It’s like watching a fool’s party.’
I could see the guys who stabbed me wondering if they felt something was wrong.
I slowly took a step forward and covered the eyes of the one closest to me with both hands.
“Who is it?”
A prank that only close friends can do at least once.
But what if the target and the target do not know each other?
“Who, who are you!”
A response like that will come.
Why do they come and ask who they are?
“I was someone who didn’t know the answer.”
– Pudeuk.
With the sound of bones snapping, the head of the guy I had covered my eyes turned in an irreversible direction.
The guys who confirmed that their colleague died right in front of their eyes tried to attack me at the same time, but the man who became a guy from them couldn’t.
“Isn’t it too bland to kill?”
“Luke-nim is strange.”
Because Luna, who was hiding in the ceiling, slashed the neck of the one who was farthest from me with a sword to escape from this world.
Then there is only one man left.
The guy is now in a situation where he can neither do this nor that.

Me in front, Luna behind.
Running away was not an option. Because the moment you turn your back, you are certain to die.
A creature about to die makes a last-ditch effort, and the man in front of me jumped at me, perhaps because I looked more forgiving.
“Hah? Look at this bastard.”
How dare you dare to attack a real man warrior like a petty thief?
If you want to live, you should have grasped the situation well.
That’s why it’s going to come back quickly.
The dagger threw out a dagger that contained the will to kill me and run away.
It was definitely fast because it was fast, but there are monsters I’ve caught so far, so there’s no way I’ll be hit by something like that.
Since the dagger is a weapon with a short reach, it cannot be reached even if it falls back slightly.
Of course, if I stay still, I’ll reach it, but what idiot stays still until there’s a hole in his chest?
“Take it! Men’s weakness!”
ball shot.
I lifted my foot and kicked the boy’s testicles.
“······!”
“I don’t know why they’re attacking other Dells while leaving such a good weakness.”
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Men’s weaknesses are openly visible, so why are they using such troublesome methods?
He must have hit the ball properly, and he fell down holding onto his stomach.
It’s a good way to kill them neatly and make them experience points, but they don’t come all at once, and it’s annoying to send them in short cuts, so I decided to keep only one alive.
I had to ask him to get information on the guy behind him.
With that in mind, I raised my fist and smacked him in the face.
“Who ordered you to come here!!!!!!”
– Bahak!
“Gagging!”
“Who ordered you to come here!!!!!!”
– Bahak!
“Stop it!”
“Who ordered you to come here!!!!!!”
– Bahak!
“·······.”
“Who ordered you to come here!!!!!!”
– Bahak!
Didn’t men always say that they speak with their fists?
I was also having a fist conversation with someone who ordered it, but Luna sneaked up behind me and grabbed my arm.
“I… Mr. Luke.”
“Don’t stop, Luna. Can’t you see that men are talking to each other?”
“He’s already lost his mind…”
Looking closely at those words, the man I was talking to was asleep in a comfortable position with his eyes closed.
“ah.”
To fall asleep exhausted after only a few conversations.
That’s why you can’t do it.
“It’s okay. Tie him up first, Luna.”
“Yes.”
Let’s enjoy the rest of the fun after it happens.
***
“······Mmm.”
When I opened my eyes, I saw a wooden wall painted white, and when I turned my gaze, I saw a bed and a desk.
The strange thing is that even after waking up, my body was sluggish, and the uncomfortable hands and feet seemed to be tied to something.
The uncomfortable feeling reminded the man of memories before he lost consciousness, awakening his dreamy spirit.
“······!”
A situation where he came to assassinate and was captured alive on the contrary.
I don’t know how long it’s been since he passed out, but it didn’t seem that long since the room was still dark.
The moment when the man tries to figure out what happened to the situation and tries to escape.
“Are you awake?”
“·······!?”
Luke’s upside-down head came down from above the man’s field of vision.
The startled man struggled, but his entire body was restrained and only the chair moved.
“Oh, my dear. Why are you whining again?”
-puck!
“······!”
Like fixing a man’s head that was broken, Luke calmed down when he hit it with his fist.
“Luna! Wake up!”
Luke shouted and Luna, who was outside the door, opened the door and came in.
“······Did you kick me out just to do that?”
“Yeah. He wakes up and if you’re next to him, he won’t be surprised.”
The man screamed as Luke and Luna approached.
“It’s no use torturing me! I won’t tell you anything!”
“What is he saying now.”
It’s funny how he pretends to be heavy-mouthed while talking well right now.
“Don’t worry, I don’t intend to torture you.”
something of torture
Isn’t it physical pain to confess sins?
I’m not going to stab myself in the leg with a knife or dip my head in water and pull it out. I just want to annoy him.
“Gel gel gel.”
Luke pulled out the leather pouch he was wearing around his waist.
“Originally, I was going to use it for Luna, but I’m glad you came.”
“······What is that?”
“mosquito.”
I caught the mosquitoes that feed on the carriage one by one and put them in my pocket.
I was going to make Luna suck her fingers and toes while she sleeps in return for teasing the owner in the wagon today, but a good punching bag just arrived, so I’ll use it instead.
“You tried to use it on me…?”
Luna looked at Luke with a puzzled expression.
“You didn’t write it. That’s it.”
Luke responded by shaking his shoulders lightly.
It was important to someone, but Luke dismissed it with just one word and brought the opening of the pocket to the man’s ear.
“What, what are you trying to do!”
“Luna. Hold her head.”
Luna fixed the man’s glowing head so he couldn’t move it.
– aaaeng. aaaeng. aaaeng.
That sound that makes even the most obtuse person instinctively reject it.
Not one, not two, but dozens of them were ringing in the pocket.
“I’m going to put these in your ears one by one from now on.”
“Crazy bastard…!”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
Luke slightly opened the mouth of the man’s pocket and let the mosquito enter the man’s ear.
And when the mosquitoes entered, I took out earplugs from my inventory and immediately covered my ears.
“······! stop!!!!”
“I’ve only done one side yet, but what’s the end of it already?”
Luke went straight to the other side and put mosquitoes in the other ear as well and put earplugs on.
– aaaeng. aaaeng.
The sound of wings flapping like an echo in my ears.
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Mosquitoes move more vividly as they enter more deeply as the way out is blocked.
“Gmmaaan!!!!!!!!!!”
“Whoop whoop! Mosquito ASMR!”
Luke laughs heartily next to a suffering man.
Luna, who watched from the side, thought.
‘······I don’t know who the villain is.’
