Possessed in a Thousand Novels

5. Extras (3)

Siu and Adriana first headed to the building Messalina told them about. Adriana, with her striking purple hair, waited in her alley, scanning the building as Siu passed by, pretending to be her passerby. I thought it would look suspicious if I just stared at the building.

The building was closed, as if it was not yet open for business. The appearance of the building was as Siwoo expected. It looks more like a warehouse than a warehouse. Considering the development of the original work, I thought it might be a place where gangsters piled up weapons and tools needed to attack the lord’s castle.

After walking up and down the street and observing the buildings for a few times, Siwoo returned to his alley and whispered:

“I was told it was definitely Changgwan, but when I saw it in person, it looked very different. “It’s strange.”

“Is that a distinction? “I don’t know.”

“No, you stay in the middle of the entertainment district and have never been to Changguan?”

I am asking this knowingly. Is there any way the protagonist could visit such a place?

Adriana spoke angrily at Siwoo’s teasing words.

“I stayed at the inn to listen to people’s stories, not to use the inn, right?”

“But isn’t it worth going there at least once?”

“I just chose an inn in the red-light district because I thought I could hear more about it because it’s a place where people are honest about their desires.”

“Perhaps…”

“I’m a woman to begin with! “Where is the Changgwan for women to go?!”

When Adriana shouted in an aggrieved voice, Siwoo immediately removed her suspicion and simply admitted it.

“Okay. Well, I’ve never been there either.”

Adriana looked bewildered as if she felt betrayed by Siwoo’s clear admission.

“But how…” … ?”

“Still, in order to do business, you need to roughly have this structure. “Isn’t this something you can guess?”

Of course, Siwoo didn’t know much, but she was at least confident that it wasn’t that one.

“But Messalina believed she would become the founder of this place?”

“That sure is strange. This place isn’t close to the entertainment district, but it’s worth a visit… “Can you see inside?”

“No, I can’t use magic like that.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to call the spirits. “Sylph.”

With those words, silver wind gathered on Siwoo’s palm and formed the shape of a girl.

Seeing this for the first time, Adriana opened her purple eyes wide and looked up at Siwoo.

Si-woo smiled a little shyly, as it was her first time showing her spirit in front of others. She felt as if she was showing her own daughter for the first time.

“This is one of the things I learned from ‘me from another world.'”

“Wow… Cool! How does this happen? It’s really cute… “Can I touch it?”

As Adriana fidgeted with her and tried to reach out for her hand, Siu blocked the space between Sylph and Adriana with her arm.

Adriana held Siu’s arm as if clinging to her and stared at her sylph intently. Her sylph flinched at that burdensome gaze, and she grabbed Siwoo’s collar and hid behind her shoulder.

“Sylph. “This person wants to touch me, is that okay?”

Doridori.

“They say it doesn’t work as a sylph.”

“No…”

Adriana lowered her head in despair. Her purple hair was hanging around Siwoo’s arm.

She did it or not, but Siu let the invisible sylph inside and shared her senses.

The scenery seen inside was not different from what I expected. Inside, several gangsters were constantly maintaining and polishing weapons, and next to them there was a pile of weapons that could be used by more than a hundred people.

Siwoo was worried that it would not be good for Sylph’s emotions, so he brought Sylph back quickly. The returning Sylph looked at Siwoo with sparkling eyes as if asking for praise.

“Dad! “I did well~”

A smile spread across Siwoo’s lips at those naughty words.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that life may not be without meaning.

“Yes, you did really well. “I have more work to do today, is that okay?”

“It’s always nice to ask Dad! “Always ask for favors!”

Siu smiled happily at Sylph’s lively words and tickled Sylph’s side. The sight of the Sylph laughing melted his heart.

At that time, Siwoo’s other arm shook.

When I turned around, I saw Adriana looking up at Siwoo with a very envious expression.

“I’m really jealous… “Can I learn too?”

“You can learn, but…”

“Then can you teach me? “I’ll teach you my magic instead!”

Si-Woo wondered if it could be better than Akashi Woo’s magic, even though it was medieval magic, but he suddenly thought that it might be of some help to the other Si-Woos in the chat room, so he nodded.

Adriana’s expression brightened greatly when she saw that nod. As if urging Si-woo, she grabbed his arm and dragged him to the next destination.

“Okay, then let’s go to the next building quickly!”

“… “Is that because you want to finish it quickly and learn elemental arts?”

Adriana smiled quietly. The intention behind her expression was clear.

Siwoo pretended to be irresistible to Adriana and walked as if being dragged to her next destination.

The other hand that wasn’t grabbed by Adriana was looking for the message that Spirit Siu had sent in the chat room.

That time. Derek, the man who came to the Caucasus with Siu, walked down the street in broad daylight. Now that he was well dehydrated, he was thinking of getting rid of the toxins that had accumulated during his travels.

On his way to the entertainment district, Derek suddenly remembered Siwoo, who visited the entertainment district first yesterday.

Siwoo was a man who showed an extraordinary side throughout our trip together. His always clean appearance and his seemingly unknown source of physical strength made him look like a seeker, and his superior height and pure white skin made him look like a nobleman.

Derek recalled the last conversation he had with Siwoo. Did he say ‘extra’? However, in his opinion, Siwoo was a man more suited to the role of the protagonist. Even he, who is knowledgeable and friendly, often can’t keep up with Si-woo’s words, so he can be said to be a very special man.

Perhaps he will be able to change the world in the distant future. Unlike him who is just an extra.

“Ah, we’ve arrived.”

As he moved his feet while thinking about various things, he arrived at his destination quickly.

Derek walked through the red-light district, scanning the prostitutes with a calm gaze. CountlessHis intuition, trained through his time in the village, began to identify Class A players.

Meanwhile, one person caught his eye.

“I will nominate you. “What’s your name?”

The woman Derek pointed out was Messalina, who had returned from discussing a plan.

She smiled happily at Derek’s touch.

“It’s called Messalina! Customer. “I will do my best to entertain you.”

And, it also tells good stories.

Messalina swallowed those words and dragged Derek’s arm inside.

After completing the investigation of the third building, make your way to the fourth building.

Sylph’s expression suddenly became serious and he whispered something into Siwoo’s ear. Then Siwoo’s expression also became serious.

Just as Adriana, sensing the changed atmosphere, turned her head and tilted her head, Siwoo lightly sweetened his lips.

“… “I feel like I’m being followed now.”

“… !”

Adriana was surprised and tried to say something, but she shut her mouth when Siwoo’s chin touched her and looked ahead of her.

Because you shouldn’t show that you noticed you’re being followed.

Siwoo quietly recited the information he received from Sylph in real time.

“There are eight opponents. They are all wearing weapons. Considering the number of people and their condition, it looks like they will attack us soon, so it would be better to capture them alive and ask for information.”

“Is capture alive possible? If you’re a member of a gang, you’re likely to call out other colleagues when you’re at a disadvantage…”

“There are ways to block sound. And it’s not like you can’t win even if another colleague comes, right?”

“That’s right, those kinds of things are no big deal even if a thousand people come.”

Adriana’s words were clear testimony of fact.

It hasn’t happened yet, but in the original story, when the gang took over the lord’s castle using Ebisu as a scarecrow.

As many as five hundred thugs were all killed by Adriana.

“Then, shall we try to lure them in from here?”

“Great. “Let’s go into this alley.”

Siu and Adriana took a path with few people, and the gangsters followed them. They spread out in all directions and began to approach Siwoo and Adriana.

And in a narrow alley, four gangsters and Siwoo encountered each other.

Siwoo didn’t panic when he saw them, but slowly slowed down and stopped. Normally, that expressionless expression would have felt strange, but the gangsters who knew that Siwoo and Adriana were just wanderers found it funny.

What would a wanderer, not a priest of a church or a wizard of a magic tower, have to fear?

One of the confident thugs chuckled.

“Hey, are you just putting on a show in front of a woman?”

Siwoo grinned at those words.

Siwoo was in the same situation.

Not a priest of a church or a wizard of a magic tower.

What can a single gangster be afraid of?

“Well. “Is it really just a facade?”

The thugs’ footsteps could be heard behind Siwoo’s back. There wasn’t even the slightest hint of tension in that clattering sound.

The gait of those who have chased down and killed people multiple times.

ThatInside, Siu gestured to Adriana.

Save the two people.

Pugh-

“… Uh?”

The gangster’s eyes widened as he saw the six bodies falling apart in an instant along with a surge of purple magic power.

A miracle impossible with human power. Because it was clearly a magical realm.

The gangster was completely stunned and couldn’t even manage his facial expression. He hung his shoulders and opened his mouth stupidly, like a broken machine.

The other gangster, who was still sane, slowly took a step back and shouted loudly.

“This is ridiculous!!!”

The thug, who was screaming, was knocked out of his feet and fell into his hole.

It was the work of a gnome summoned by Siwoo.

“What makes no sense? “I should have been prepared for this when I touched a passing traveler.”

Although Siwoo spoke calmly, he felt a slight sense of strangeness developing.

The thug’s somewhat unnatural choice of words, shouting too loudly. Maybe that was a sign that there was a wizard here.

But whether it’s a real signal or not. It wasn’t important to Siwoo at all.

The sylph has already fixed the air in a dome shape and put up a soundproof curtain.

“This is what I learned in this world… “Torture was scarier than I thought.”

The only people who have endured torture are the great people recorded in history and those who have received professional torture resistance training.

No one outside of that very few can endure torture.

Siwoo realized this fact after experiencing four tortures himself and listening to the stories of other Siwoos.

“Everything you plan will blow.”

Ignis heated Siu’s sword.

The reddish sword had a luminosity proportional to the thugs’ despair.

“Sylph. Cover your ears. “From now on, you can’t show it to children.”

After sending Ignis and the gnome away, Siwoo laughed bitterly after seeing that the sylph in his arms had covered his ears.

After a while, the smell of burning meat began to waft through the streets.

*

“… Therefore. “There is no leader in your organization?”

“Yes! There really isn’t one! Ugh… Mom…”

After finishing his last statement, the gangster cried sadly like a child, looking for his parents.

After sending Sylph away, Siwoo cleanly ended the lives of the two devastated thugs and then looked back at Adriana.

“Thugs preparing for a revolt. A leader who doesn’t exist. And someone to become the Scarecrow Lord. “Now it seems like cause and effect is coming together.”

The rebellion in the Caucasus was by no means accidental.

It was a thorough plan that worked on someone’s elaborate plan.

“I have to go see the guy who plays the scarecrow.”

In the original, he saved his life by pretending to be a scarecrow until the end, but he won’t be able to do that anymore.

Just as the person who used a straw as a straw was eventually discovered by Lupin.
