Madman in a Fantasy World

9. master

I wonder if this is a question for those who have been locked up until now, but surprisingly, less than a day has passed since I became possessed today.

So it wouldn’t be strange if the slave who had just been locked up knew the way better than I did.

“Phew~ I finally got back somehow.”

But I didn’t know there were people who knew the real way.

In any case, those people had to go through the empire to return to their original place, so they came with both sides.

Of course, they were caught by the soldiers at the checkpoint at the entrance to the wall, but they were only victims and were called in by the captain of the guard who later joined them for a statement.

I just showed my adventurer badge and passed with the free pass.

‘Well, nothing special.’

As soon as I passed the checkpoint, I headed straight to the adventurer’s guild.

“…I’m glad you’re safe.”

When I returned, the receptionist Adela, whom I had seen several times today, greeted me.

The definition of the word welcome is to be pleased or welcomed, but contrary to that, Adela’s eyes seemed displeased.

To think that just because you did one demolition show, your likability went downhill.

It seems that all entertainment in this world is dead.

“I caught all the goblins.”

“It took longer than expected this time.”

“I got caught up in something annoying in the middle.”

If I had only caught the goblin, it would have been a long time before I finished it, but I was lost and wandered around, and I was late because I met a golden goblin in the middle and robbed it.

Thanks to that, I left a little after lunch, but when I arrived, dinner was almost over.

“Did you finish all the quests?”

“Mochilong.”

“······Yes?”

“of course.”

“Sigh···.”

Adela sighs and touches her forehead, as if the work has been very difficult.

I wanted to do a dismantling show despite the ban, but unfortunately this time I caught too many and I was too lazy to do that much, so I decided not to.

“You only cut off your ears this time, right?”

“yes.”

“Then could you please submit it?”

I opened my inventory and put my hand in the goblin ear icon with ‘x19’ written on it.

And when I took my hand out again, I found a goblin ear in my hand, which was empty when I entered.

“I was surprised and couldn’t ask you a while ago, but are you a storage magic user?”

Storage magic?

Is there such a thing?

If the inventory is storage magic, then it must be storage magic.

But I’m a magician, so I can’t use magic, but it’s annoying to explain, so let’s just do it.

“yes.”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen storage magic, but it’s amazing… I heard that people who can use storage magic are rare. Maybe it’s because he’s from the academy, so he’s definitely amazing.”

It reminded me of the word academy.

‘Come to think of it, this was an academy thing.’

As soon as I became possessed, I dropped out and forgot about it.

But if storage magic users are rare, why is the inventory F rank?

Since the writer hasn’t experienced weight in the inventory, I think he put it at F rank.

‘Tsk tsk. That’s why they don’t know.’

While I was thinking about that, Adela, who had counted all the ears, asked a question.

“You’ve brought a lot…?”

“Good luck finding the goblin lair.”

Actually, I found it because I was tailing it, so I don’t need to tell you.

“Yes? You entered the goblin lair alone…?”

“Why? Is there a problem?”

“…Isn’t there only a problem?”

Got a problem?

Am I getting kicked out of the adventurer’s guild for an hour again?

“Goblin lair alone! It’s too dangerous!”

“It’s just a goblin, so what’s dangerous?”

“There are exactly 53 adventurers who died after entering the goblin den alone after saying that.”

It’s more than you think.

“To be exact, 53 people found the body, and there are actually more.”

Oh.

what so many

Even if the goblin club is open like me, everyone dances happily and dies of exhaustion.

“Please make a party of at least 3 or more to go to the same grade as the monsters. The risk is high.”

“Yes.”

I replied because I thought it would be annoying if I didn’t answer, but where am I at the party?

I just have to secretly go alone next time and come back.

Adela, who looked at me suspiciously as if she didn’t feel the sincerity of my answer, sighed and started counting the ears I gave her.

A few seconds passed like that.

“Do you have odd ears?”

I ask.

Each goblin has two ears, so it must be an even number no matter what.

However, it seems like you are asking because it is an ambiguous number, not 18, not 20, but 19.

“A goblin ate it.”

So I just answered honestly.

I vomited right after eating, but unbalanced eating is not good.

Eat well to grow well. Unfortunately, good goblins who don’t eat unbalanced are no longer monsters in this world.

“Is that so? It’s amazing… I know that goblins don’t prey on their own kin no matter how hungry they are.”

“Heh heh heh. I will.”

I ate it, but it wasn’t me who ate it, so I didn’t say anything wrong.

Seeing the demolition show earlier, Adela seems to have a weak stomach, but there’s no need to tell her the truth.

And after checking the number, Adela brought out a fairy tale from under the reception desk and held it out.

“19 goblin ears have been confirmed. 19 fairy tales have been provided.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Money earned through hard work.

I can finally eat.

“By the way, did you go to catch goblins and bring back something else?”

“Yes?”

what, how did you know?

Do I have a camera attached to my body?

No, since this is a different world, did you attach a micro crystal ball?

But what should I do, I haven’t cut off people’s ears.

I’m thinking like that.

“The person behind you is still watching you.”

back?

Are receptionists these days becoming psychics?

It seems that the ghost of the man I killed behind me is watching.

And when I look back

‘What is this man? Why are you here?’

He met eyes with a woman with dark blue hair and silver eyes.

***

“So. I came all this way because an adventurer saved me from being kidnapped and sold as a slave. Is this what you mean?”

“Yes.”

“Haa… everyone else said the same thing, so I don’t think it’s a lie. Okay, the interrogation ends with this, so let’s go.”

“thank you.”

Perhaps because she said the same thing as the people in front of her, she was the last to be interrogated and was able to finish the interrogation quickly.

After interrogating the chief of the guard at the checkpoint, she was able to enter the Empire.

‘······What should we do now?’

Although she entered the empire, she had already lost her purpose and was only wandering.

The place where he lived was a small village far away from Suin-guk.

They were living peacefully with their families and friends, but a sudden human attack killed all men and adults, and only a few young girls were kidnapped and taken away.

He himself was one of them, and at first he resented humans like crazy, but seeing the other humans behind bars reduced his thoughts.

Even if I went back to where I was, there would be nothing left, and there was no family left to welcome me.

‘Besides, there is no way to return…’

A slave who was confined in an iron cage until just now.

To get back from here, you have to use a carriage, but you don’t have the money for that, and there’s no reason to go back now.

No matter how much I think about it, the answer doesn’t come out.

All she could do was to wander around the empire aimlessly, dazed.

Since she was walking around with her ears and tail exposed among countless humans, it was inevitable that she would attract people’s attention.

In particular, the less discrimination against the species, the more attention was drawn to her pretty appearance.

‘It seems like something has become a spectacle…’

Originally, it was planned to be taken to an unknown place and sold at a slave auction, so these gazes were a planned procedure.

However, a man’s intervention changed their fate.

‘······Come to think of it, where did that person go?’

Just thinking about it, I came up with the man who saved me.

He himself was separated from the checkpoint to be interrogated, and he must be somewhere here too.

A sudden thought came to my mind and I moved quickly.

I don’t know where it is, so there’s no time to hesitate to find it before the sun is completely gone.

The first thing that came to mind was the academy.

The Empire’s academy was so famous that even people from the Suin country knew about it, and when I looked back on my memory, I remembered that person was wearing an academy student uniform.

By the way.

‘Are you an academy student…?’

It doesn’t make sense for an academy student to be alone in the middle of a forest.

What’s more, the actions…

Luke himself didn’t know it, but she saw all the mercenaries there killing them.

Not just her, but all the women there.

It was a very cruel scene to the general public, but it didn’t matter to her what the target of raping her was.

Rather, it was refreshing.

So she visited all kinds of buildings. Restaurants, lodgings, weapon shops, etc.

A building that came into view while wandering within the Empire.

Adventurer’s Guild. Except for the academy, it was the most likely place for that person to be.

Thinking that it would be hard to find if it wasn’t even here, she stepped into the building.

And.

‘there is!’

In her two visions, he could see him talking to the receptionist at the reception desk on the other side of the entrance.

Completely black hair was rare in this world, so she could recognize it at a glance.

As a bonus, he was wearing the academy school uniform, as he was before the breakup, so it must be him.

She stood at the entrance and looked behind him.

‘If there is nothing left… I can make it.’

It was inevitable to have a crush on the person who saved it.

whether it’s big or small

So, she decided to start a new life.

She quickened her steps and walked behind him.

So, the receptionist who noticed him first gave a word, and when he looked back, her silver eyes crossed with Luke’s bloody eyes.

Luke looked at her strangely, but the first thing she said when she cautiously opened her lips was.

“······master.”
