110 – Potato or Potential

The love comedy-like dawn passed, and the next day dawned. From the time when the sun began to rise, people started moving busily.

They filled their stomachs lightly with breakfast and packed up the blankets they used to sleep. After covering the extinguished campfire with dirt or leaves, they divided into ten groups and set off on their journey again.

The last group, Noah and his companions, quietly waited until the other groups departed.

“Yawn…”

Lian, unable to sleep properly due to the sword incident, yawned and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Noah secretly observed Lian like that.

Noah wanted to run to his side right away and ask him all sorts of things, but he didn’t act on it.

“I promised not to push him.”

Lian is used to solving everything on his own. It’s not that he doesn’t trust Noah, but he doesn’t feel the need to talk about it, according to Juliana, who has a lot of social experience.

To hear the real situation from Lian, it was necessary to break down his defenses.

Every time he said, “I’m fine,” and got angry and bit his lip, Lian would be even more reluctant to speak up.

For that reason, Noah intentionally didn’t ask, even if Lian shed blood alone or seemed to be hiding something. He treated his problems as if they were nothing, as if he were talking about something insignificant, in order to make it easier for him to speak up.

“Am… I doing well?”

Worries crept into Noah’s mind, but he quickly shook his head. He now knows that such heavy worries always hinder him.

It wasn’t long before Noah’s group was ready to depart. Noah showed an attitude no different from usual, without mentioning what happened yesterday.

“Ugh… It’s harder than yesterday.”

Despite Noah’s efforts, Lian still kept his distance from him more than yesterday.

“It’s all because of that guy, Gargandoa.”

Because he felt it not only with his eyes but also with his senses, every time Lian had a conversation with Noah, his tongue would buffer. Unconsciously, his gaze would lower to Noah’s flat chest, and his face would flush hotly.

Even though such an attitude would surely be noticeable, Lian’s worries deepened even more due to Noah’s usual, or rather, even more attentive attitude.

A few more days passed, and they were able to reach a new village.

Although it was intentionally unheard of for small villages to spread their information, the village they arrived at this time was quite sizable.

Of course, it wasn’t as big as Cardishan, but it was a village that served as a midway point towards Cardishan, so there were a lot of transient people. Even if a hundred people entered the village, it wouldn’t be noticeable.

After gathering the necessary supplies, the ten groups entered the village at staggered intervals to relax their fatigue at an inn.

Since there were many people coming and going from the village, there was no one guarding the entrance, so they could enter comfortably.

To prevent the information from spreading, the ten groups had already agreed to stay in different inns.

“Huh?”

Noah abruptly stopped his busy footsteps. Then, the gazes of the group, including Lian, gathered on Noah and soon followed her gaze.

“Oh…”

“It’s all collapsed.”

At the end of their gazes, a building sat collapsed. Since it was a land where many lunatics lived, no one was surprised. Noah muttered quietly.

“We were planning to stay at that inn over there…”

“That collapsed a month or two ago.”

As Noah mumbled, a man who had been smoking by the roadside approached and spoke.

“What, you mean that Potato or Potency guy got into a fight with some other guy and ended up like that?”

“Oh, the Four Kings must have demolished it.”

The weakest Four King and the man who had dedicated his body and soul to the foreign press, Potencyn, had a car accident on their way to Cardishan.

“The innkeeper became wealthy from the building, so he moved to that side… Go that way if you’re going.”

The man chuckled as he exhaled a long puff of smoke. Noah, who had become somewhat accustomed to this side of life, flicked a silver coin with his finger and threw it to him.

Taking the silver coin with familiarity, the man’s eyes widened at the larger amount than he expected and chuckled.

“Thank you.”

With those words, he immediately left. He had realized that the cost of silence was included in the large sum of money called Silver.

“Let’s hurry and move before the sun sets.”

Noah urged his halted steps and headed towards the inn the man had mentioned. Just as he said, there was an inn with the same name as the collapsed inn.

The first floor of the inn was a restaurant, and there were so many people that tables were placed outside the building.

“hahahahaha! Drink! Drink up!”

“Is the one who dies first buying for everyone? Got it?”

Loud laughter, curses, the smell of alcohol and smoked meat permeated the air.

“…I didn’t have information that the first floor was operated as a bar.”

Noah furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment before entering the building. Inside, he saw busy staff serving and tables filled to the brim.

Fortunately, there was a clear path from the entrance to the front desk, so he headed straight for it. As they passed by those heading towards the front desk, there were also those who tried to pickpocket their pockets, but since Noah had all the money, they couldn’t take anything.

“What the hell is this?”

“hahahahaha!”

“You stupid bastard, hahahahaha!”

“You squirrel bastard!”

Among them, the man who had picked the bulging pocket frowned when he saw that it was filled with acorns.

“Oh! My acorns…!”

The youngest Ribbon in the crowd looked at the rough-looking men with a surprised face. When Ribbon reflexively turned towards the tables, Lian, who was holding onto Ribbon’s hand, was also dragged along.

“Why are you carrying such useless trash?!”

The man glared at Ribbon with wide-open eyes, perhaps angered by being laughed at by his friends. When Ribbon swiftly snatched the acorn bag that the man was loosely holding, the man’s face contorted even more fiercely.

“Now that brat is stealing from us.”

“What kind of ‘greatness’ is this? It was all a lie!”

The man, who had been boasting about robbing the mansion of a powerful sorcerer just moments ago, turned even redder in the face than before.

“Ribbon, let’s go. We’ve got a room.”

“Yeah!”

As Noah gestured that he had secured a room, Lian immediately grabbed Ribbon and pulled her along. Then, the man drew a sword from his waist.

Swish!

“Stop right there! I’ll teach you a lesson right now…!”

“Ah! Please move aside!”

Due to the man suddenly jumping up, a waiter who was carrying twelve glasses of beer collided with him.

Crash!

The man tumbled to the ground, spilling all twelve glasses of beer.

“Argh! You damn idiots!”

Fueled by a series of unfortunate events, the man was filled with rage and swung his sword. But just as he was about to strike the waiter who had collided with him:

Thud.

“…?”

Someone grabbed his shoulder. When he turned around with a furious expression, he saw a group of muscular men grinning at him.

“So this bastard spilled our drinks?”

“What, what’s going on?”

“What’s going on is that ‘Mwoyo’ is your slave name, you bastard.”

As the crowd grew, the men, their heads filled with anger, dragged a man holding a sword out of the room with satisfied expressions on their faces.

In the midst of a comedy sketch created by a gag filter, Noah and his companions made their way upstairs without any problems.

The group of eight, regardless of gender or age, stayed together in one room. It was an unavoidable choice, as the Demon King’s land was a place where an attack could happen at any time without raising suspicions.

“I know it’s uncomfortable, but for now, this is the best option. Please understand.”

Knowing how dangerous the Demon King’s land was, no one had any complaints.

“Since it’s chaotic outside, let’s have our meals in the room.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll go and get the food.”

Although they were not skilled, the loyal members of the organization volunteered to bring the food first. With so many mouths to feed, about half of the people, including Noah, received their meals and satisfied their hunger.

Noah carried an empty bag to purchase the necessary supplies. He could have put everything in the dimensional bag, but the dimensional bag was valuable and couldn’t be casually shown or carried around.

“Well then, I’ll be back. Rian, please stay behind.”

“Uh, uh…”

Noah awkwardly smiled and tried to meet Rian’s eyes, but she couldn’t. He quickly left the room.

“Hurry back.”

Having seen Rian’s strength with his own eyes several times, Noah knew very well, but he couldn’t help but worry. He quickly left the inn and headed to the night market.

Since the needed items were clear, the purchases were made quickly. If they encountered another group along the way, they exchanged casual nods.

Carrying the heavy bag, Noah quickly returned to the inn. It seemed that the tables in the first-floor restaurant were empty, probably because mealtime had passed. He passed through the restaurant and was about to go straight upstairs.

“Sob…sniff…”

He heard a sobbing voice of a woman. Without realizing it, Noah’s gaze turned towards the direction where the sound came from.

A woman was crying with her face buried in the table, and another woman, who seemed to be her colleague, was patting her back.

“I… I treated her so well, but sob, sniff…”

“I told you she was strange from the beginning.”

“I didn’t think she would do this…”

“Ah… let’s just eat, eat and forget about it.”

“Sigh…”

“Come on, let’s eat this and relieve all the stress, and start living energetically again from tomorrow. Got it?”

“Yeah… let’s just die!”

The two women, who appeared to be mercenaries, enthusiastically started drinking. Noah’s gaze fell upon the empty glass.

“Why on earth would she eat something so tasteless?”
