The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party - The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party chapter 141

141 – Downfall (5)

Even with the harvest, we had to keep moving forward. I took the materials I had translated and the original text and walked with Lena. The corpses of demons existed everywhere other than here. There was a guy whose lower body was ripped off while scratching the wall because he wanted to live, and a demon who starved to death in a locked room.

Each of them had a diary or notepad, and I don’t want to die without translating it. It was a sensible content like I don’t want to die. Lena took out a piece of paper and said. The paper on which the same sentence was repeated morbidly was bloody and messy.

“How do you read this?”

“I want to go home. It says. Only that sentence is being repeated.”

“If you wanted to go home, you shouldn’t have come here.”

Saying that, Lena crumpled up the paper and threw it away. A piece of paper fell on the floor and rolled and fell into the crack. The withered corpse in front of us was staring resentfully at the bookshelf, eyes sunken.

I kicked the corpse and rolled it to the floor and examined the books he was holding. There were theoretical books and geography books, but there was nothing useful for us right now. Even on the cover of the bookshelf next to us, we couldn’t see the things we needed.

As Lena stared at the bookshelf, Lena put her hand on my shoulder and said,

“mister. You probably wouldn’t have put the key materials you were researching in the lab on the bookshelf.”

I nodded my head, not having anything to say about that. Lena laughed and continued talking while I kept my mouth shut.

“Looking at it earlier, everything was cleaned up except for the places where the demons touched? Besides, there are no magic stones around. It’s not like there are corpses of people from the Empire.”

Lena looked out the window. If you stick your head out the window of this research center, you can face a thousand-way cliff. Lena picked up a book from the floor and threw it at the window. A fluttering sound resounded, like a bird flying, and pages flew in the wind.

The paper torn by the draft flowed down like snow, and Lena looked at the endless floor and said,

“I wonder how they noticed what was happening in the imperial capital, and didn’t the researchers get hurt while evacuating? So… … . They all turned into magic stones and tumbled down. down there.”

I nodded. That was a very plausible hypothesis. The room, untouched by the demons, was as clean as if it had been cleaned in a hurry. In fact, if there was a sudden disaster during the research, traces of work would have remained here as well.

I pictured the situation. At the research center, someone who noticed an abnormality in the water supply screamed. People who move in perfect order according to someone’s instructions. Cries to destroy or hide all research materials are heard, and they hide them somewhere to promise the time to return. Those who were cleaning the inside follow the voice telling them to come out quickly and run out of the laboratory, and while running away, they are killed by demons or swept away by demons.

“Then, Lena-sama, where do you think the data is?”

Lena hummed at my words and moved on. Taking a few steps forward and looking around, she left the room we were in and started looking around the other rooms. I tried tapping on the wall, and when I stepped on the floor, I bounced my feet as if I was doing a tap dance.

I could understand that all of this was her quest for treasure. She looked around lightly, as if dancing, and entered each room with bookshelves, put her ear to the wall and lightly knocked. He closed his eyes and frowned amid the sounds that sounded identical to me, then moved on with a sharp glint in his eyes.

“It’s here.”

Lena exclaimed at the sound of a knock that lightly rang the room. She smiled with a bubbly voice, like a child receiving a gift, and knocked on the wall a few more times to make me hear it.

Of course, I had no way of knowing what she was hearing. It sounded like a knock on a wall to me. It wasn’t even a hollow sound, the unique sound of marble echoing the hallway equally lightly.

But to Lena, even that sound seemed to be information.

There was a bookshelf in front of me. The bookshelf, which looked the same as any other bookshelf, was full of books we often see. I said.

“Can I get rid of all the books?”

“No, wait… … .”

Lena shook her head and stepped forward. Then, he closed his eyes as he touched the seams of the bookshelf, stopped at the corner, and put strength on his fingers. Pressing it so hard that my fingertips turned white, I lowered my hand all the way down as if I was drawing, and smiled as I held a part of the bookshelf with both hands.

“It’s here. here.

“mister. Can you get the tool out of my thigh?”

As she said that, she thrust out her white thighs to me. Her well-trained thighs were full of needles and other tools for her work. As I raised my hand to caress the tool, Lena let out an excited breath and looked at me with a sullen gaze.

“….transformation.”

It was an act that provoked me. If we go beyond this point, all the things we’ve worked hard to keep our distance from until now have become nothing. I could barely see her red face and her thighs pushing me toward me, but I managed to hold on to my reason and asked.

“Can this be enough?”

“…Yeah, I think that’ll work.”

And she naturally used her hand to receive the tool I had pulled out. Then, after reassessing the position, he pushed the tool between the seams and moved his hand around. I was counting the numbers with my eyes staring at the ceiling, but I had to look away for a moment because I was so full of professional charm.

It was so tempting to see her white nape exposed defenselessly while clinging to the wall.

I stared through the door, carving the excuse that another demon might come. She didn’t miss the work while glancing at me, and at a time faster than I expected, dust poured from the bookshelf with a rattling sound.

“Ooh, dirt.”

“Is it done?”

“yes. it’s okay.”

It is unknown how it originally worked, but what used to be a bookshelf was functioning as a door. The half-open door was filled with roughly crumpled papers and books. I carefully reached out and checked the materials inside.

“How are you, uncle? Is the data you are looking for correct?”

[Study on the justification and risks of designing underground water source pumps]

“…Amazing. This data is correct.”

“Oh yea!”

Lena ran towards me. I couldn’t respond to her hug as I held on to my papers, and I was tied tight between her arms as if I were tied with a rope. Lena buried her face in my chest, took a deep breath, raised her head and looked up at me.

“mister. Are you done now?”

“…First of all, finding the data was successful, but here we have to go one step further.”

Lena pulled herself away from me again. Then, as they took out the data inside, they continued their conversation.

“Going one step further. You mean we need to review the data here?”

“Yes. This material alone is useless. There are other important parts. Does groundwater flow below this elevation? And, is it practical to use that groundwater to break down the highlands?”

“Can I find it within today?”

“After a quick glance, if you think it will be impossible for us, we just need to bring the necessary materials and go home.”

Lena hugged the papers and sat down. Then he tapped the seat next to him and said.

“Sit down, mister. Then you have to go through all the papers here.”

I sat down next to her. As soon as I sat down, Lena leaned over and put her head on my shoulder.

“…I’m tired from stealing for the first time in a while. lend me your shoulder mister.”

“Yes. All right.”

Orange hair tickled my nose. The scent of a woman swirled through my head, so I tried to stay calm somehow. Lena started turning over the papers with a smile as if she felt something in the clearing of her cough and strangely heated breathing.

[There is a waterway under the gateway that defends the imperial capital, but if you pump up the groundwater, there is a risk that the water will leak into the waterway below.

Since the ground is soft, if a waterway with increased water pressure by a pump passes through this area, the ground inside it will rapidly weaken and there is a risk that the ground itself will collapse.

Depending on the situation, this could be a fatal weakness in the defense of the Empire. Therefore, it is suggested that the ongoing groundwater research in the capital area be put on hold.]

And, the sky did not forsake us.

I yelled at her.

“Lena-sama! look at this! here! We got it right!”

I was very excited, and Lena was flustered. I was pulling Lena’s body as far as I could, and Lena was staring at me with her eyes wide open. Our faces were quite close, and we could feel each other’s breathing and warmth.

“ah… … .”

“Well… … .”

They closed their mouths to each other, averted their eyes for a moment, and carefully opened their distance.

Lena said while rubbing her shoulder.

“Okay, good… … . mister.”

Embarrassed and seized with a strange feeling, I only nodded my head in reply.

“…..Lena-sama. Thanks.”
