66 – Recovery (2)

The Iron Monarchy is located on the outskirts of a region called Antioch.

Surrounded by the sea on all sides, this place was famous as an impregnable castle that could prevent any external invasion.

I heard that the warrior of the previous war probably knelt before the overlord here.

“pretty.”

Of course, the place I’m going isn’t that guy’s castle.

To be exact, it’s in the sea next to that b*stard’s castle.

“That’s right. I used to only see mountains.”

In the distance, the blue sea and the sun blend harmoniously like a painting.

At the dock, small fishing boats were floating on the waves, ready to set sail, and it was a romantic, almost flowing sight.

‘This is not the time to be appreciating.’

Leaving behind the familiar smell of the sea, we moved to the center of the city.

There was a huge square there, and as expected from a coastal city, people were selling fish.

“Here, here! Here’s the snake fish I just caught today! As soon as you put it in your mouth, feel your tongue wriggle like a snake!”

“There must be some gentlemen who don’t feel refreshed from working hard at night these days! I guarantee that if you eat one of these solid eels, you can stand up straight for 24 hours!”

It looked very much like a fish market.

Except that the fish on display are the size of sharks.

“Gerard. Standing up straight for 24 hours. Isn’t that bad?”

Seina asked me with innocent eyes.

‘… Does he know what he’s saying?’

“That’s right. It would be more comfortable for ordinary people to just sit down.”

Even Luna seemed to be joining in.

I let out a hollow laugh and touched the bridge of my nose.

I felt a little awkward telling the truth to the two of them who were still not aware of s*x. I changed the subject.

“I see a tavern over there. I have some business to attend to there, so let’s go in.”

I entered the tavern, leaving behind Seina and Luna, who were chattering away.

I thought that since it was a coastal city, there would be differences from the bars in other areas, but that wasn’t necessarily the case.

“Come in. What would you like to have?”

A man of enormous stature stroked his beard and opened his mouth.

I held up three fingers, meaning I wanted three beers.

“Judging by your behavior, you seem to be an outsider. Have you come here for sightseeing?”

“Let’s say that’s true.”

“You’re such a boring guy.”

I gave him a short answer and he put his beer down. He didn’t speak to me again after that.

‘I wonder where it is.’

This wish was quite difficult to obtain, unlike the other wishes I’ve received so far.

That’s understandable, since I had to dive into the deep sea, and my absolute defenses couldn’t prevent me from drowning.

How do you know?

In the castle, they tested it by putting their face in a basin filled with water.

‘…Darmian looked at me curiously.’

-Your Majesty…? What are you doing now?

-…wash your face.

-Hmm, it’s really interesting how humans wash their faces. I learned something.

I feel heat on my face.

It’s a memory I don’t want to remember.

‘By the way, it should definitely be here.’

Anyway, to go deep into the water, you need a buff potion called ‘Water Breathing’.

The reason I came here was to meet the only ‘creator’ who could make that potion.

“It looks like you’re looking for someone.”

At that moment, the owner, who seemed like he wouldn’t speak to me anymore, spoke to me again.

I nodded and answered.

“Do you know a woman named Rihanna? I heard she comes here quite often.”

“I know. She’s our regular customer. But why is she looking for Rihanna?”

The guy looks at me with a wary look.

“I have a production request. Come find it.”

“Heh heh, sorry about that. I didn’t know you were a guest. Rihanna is such a loser. But what should I do? Rihanna left earlier because she was really drunk.”

“Is there a good place to go?”

“Well, she’s a woman who runs her own store as she pleases, so it’s impossible to control her. She’s probably drunk and sleeping on the street.”

“I see. Thank you.”

I took a gold coin out of my pocket and placed it roughly on the table. The b*stard’s pupils dilated greatly, but I ignored it and went out of the store.

‘You’re feeding the baby.’

I sighed and looked around the street.

To be honest, there was nothing good about staying here for so long.

If my identity were to be revealed, there would be nothing more troublesome than that.

You came to another monarch’s territory without prior notice? This basically means you want to fight an all-out war.

So, it’s best to finish and leave as quietly as possible.

‘Besides, there’s Seina’s work…’

It’s unlikely, but if ‘that guy’ and Seina meet, it’s going to be a really big deal.

I walked, looking at the floor, thinking like that.

It’s because of Rihanna who might be sleeping face down.

“Kkaaah—!”

At that moment, a scream was heard from the left corner.

“What’s going on?”

“…It’s a man’s voice?”

Groan, groan.

I pushed my way through the crowd of people and entered the alley.

“Ugh. You were trying to eat me, weren’t you? You little b*stard. Come here! I’ll make sure you never use me again!”

It was a woman I had seen a lot of.

No, that’s the woman I’m looking for!

“Hey, b*tch! Are you trying to catch a living person? I was trying to help him when he was lying on the street!”

“Where were you going to take me by supporting me? Ugh. The inn where you’re staying?”

“Write a story, you crazy b*tch! Everyone, look at this woman! She’s biting off my ear and trying to kill me!”

The man was stopping the blood flowing from his ear with his hand.

My guess is that he bit off Rihanna’s ear while trying to do something to her while she was lying in the alley.

“Tsk, I was wondering what it was, it’s Rihanna. Is the man an outsider?”

“Ha ha. That’s how it is. What bad luck. I chose the wrong opponent. A drunken, passed out Rihanna is like a thorn trap.”

It might seem surprising that this situation was happening now, but people were muttering as if it was no big deal.

I guess this is a pretty common occurrence.

“Okay, okay! Let’s all go back. Rihanna will take care of it!”

“Business was already bad, so I wasted my time.”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

People start leaving one by one.

“Where are you all going?! This woman is trying to kill me?! Come back!”

The man shouted with a thoughtful face.

However, the people who remain are Seina, Luna, and me.

He ran towards me in a hurry, as if he wanted to grab hold of a rope.

“Hey, hey! Don’t just stare blankly. Report this to the guard…”

Phew!

I clenched my fist and hit the guy in the middle of the nose. He fell down. I swung my hand and said nonchalantly.

“Don’t cling to me.”

How can a man be so cocky?

I can tolerate other things, but I can’t tolerate this.

“What are you? Are you planning to do something to my lovely body?”

stagger.

Rihanna is walking like a zombie, completely drunk.

I opened my mouth with a determined expression.

“I’m not interested in your body. I’d rather entrust you with a potion request.”

“What? A potion? Hehe. I can make it for you. Bam! But then, what are you going to do for me?”

“Pay the price without regrets.”

“value?”

Before I knew it, she was standing in front of me, staring at me with half-open eyes.

His nostrils were flaring, perhaps because he was drunk and had difficulty breathing, but I found that sight quite cute.

‘I might be crazy.’

“Okay, is ten gold coins enough? If it’s not enough, I can give you more.”

“Hey, you must have a lot of money, right?”

“Okay. So if you make it for sure…”

Wow!

At that moment, Rihanna collapsed into my arms. At the same time, the smell of alcohol hit my nose.

“!”

“… Money’s done. Would you like to do some volunteer work? Now that I look at it, you seem to be pretty even-tempered. And you’re also quite fit.”

“Hey! Don’t you want to get off Gerard right now? What are you doing?”

“Seina. Calm down! I’ll break it in half!”

Seina and Luna, who are spewing out their will to live.

Rihanna, who was watching the scene, smiles.

“Hehehe! Two cute girls? Or how about trying it with several people?”

“What are you trying to do! What are you talking about?! Does Gerard know?”

“… … .”

I couldn’t bring myself to continue speaking.

How could you say such a shameful thing in front of two innocent people?

“You idiots! Don’t you know that? Of course it’s sticky and good…”

Rihanna paused mid-speaking.

And then he leans his head against my chest as if he’s collapsing.

“…?”

snoring.

The sound of breathing can be heard at the same time.

“…Is he asleep right now?”

“I see.”

“You seem like a really crazy person.”

It’s the first time I’ve seen Luna say something like that.

It wasn’t that difficult.

This is what it looks like from the first impression.

‘… Things aren’t going so well.’

It seemed difficult to go get my wish right away.

There was no choice but to wait until Rihanna sobered up.

“Gerard is also a problem. You’re going to accept this woman running at you? You usually block all magic with your body!”

“That’s right. The problem with Mr. Gerard is that he is too lenient with women. If only he had just punched her in the philtrum like a man…”

The storm of nagging makes me laugh in vain.

Although I am not a married man, at this moment I have the illusion of understanding their feelings.

‘… Fighting to all the men of South Korea.’

With that thought, he lifted Rihanna up and threw her over.
