The Soldier Shouted Save - Chapter 84

The soldier shouted save (84)

Big Flower, a city where beautiful flowers create a spectacular view.

I headed to the ‘Fairy Flower’ in Big Flower with two other people.

“I, I, I… … . Ah, I think you misunderstood… … .”

“What did you get wrong?”

The first person in the group sitting next to the carriage was Oh Seo-young, a warrior with customization privileges.

“I, I don’t know anything about Kiru! You wanted an informant!”

He answers her question with a firm tone, her shoulders hunched.

“I didn’t bring you here because I wanted an informant.”

“… … Yes, yes? Then, why are you and Kiru… … .”

The reason I brought Oh Seo-young was simple.

Enhance your customization privileges to allow you to change not only your hair but also your appearance.

To achieve that condition, I had to force Oh Seo-young to kill a monster and earn the achievement.

“Hey, hey! Why are you taking me to Giru?”

You’ll probably have aversion to killing living creatures, so you’ll want to approach them cautiously.

“You might not like it if you hear it, so I’ll tell you later.”

“Ugh, sob, Mom… … .”

I was embarrassed when Oh Seo-young suddenly started shedding tears like chicken poop.

‘Have you noticed that you need to kill monsters to strengthen your special abilities?’

Aversion to killing.

If I couldn’t get rid of that burden, it would be difficult to get cooperation.

‘… … It would have been easy if Hye-rin was here.’

If there had been a person from another world like Oh Seo-young, it would have been easy to persuade her, but I couldn’t bring Hye-rin.

‘Because I need new epic items.’

Hyelin’s excessive use of magic was affecting not only her mana but also her health.

It was not a choice but a necessity for the leader to help Hye-rin find an epic item that would help her recover mana.

“Mana’s Eyedrop. Are you thinking of selling it?”

An epic item that grants you insight into mana.

I tried to make a subtle remark to Park Won-cheol, the owner of a department store who was another member of the group, but the answer I got was the same as before I left.

“Oh, right. Epic items are no longer available for sale.”

“What is the reason?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I have a lot of money now, but epic items are one of a kind in this world. I wasn’t planning on selling them even if you paid for them, but I guess I’ll have to wait and see until today.”

Park Won-cheol looks out the window with an unpleasant smile.

“Uh-huh, I couldn’t sleep because I was so excited about the fairy flower? I guess it’s still a long way to go until we get there… … .”

“… … You’re quite the womanizer.”

“What’s wrong with that! I’m not saying I’ll play for free! I’m going to pay a fair price!”

I turn my gaze and look at the seat next to Park Won-cheol.

‘… … How much did you bring?’

An astronomical amount of money that could buy not just a kisaeng, but an entire kiryu.

Oh Seo-young looks at the money and says while shedding tears like chicken poop.

“Ugh, sob, you two can just drink together. Why are you taking me too… sob.”

At those words, Park Won-cheol looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“… … Hey, didn’t you tell this girl?”

“I held back from saying anything because I was afraid of being a burden, but I guess it backfired.”

“No, you could have just said something else. Like you found a way to enhance the customization perk… … .”

At those words, Oh Seo-young looks up at me, sniffling.

“… … You’re saying that you’re going to enhance customization? What do you mean?”

Tell Oh Seo-young the truth.

To enhance customization privileges.

When I tell her that I will help her achieve the achievement of exterminating the demons near Giru, Oh Seo-young’s face becomes expressionless.

“… …Why didn’t you say anything?”

“I thought you wouldn’t be able to cooperate if I told you in advance… … .”

“trash.”

“Hahaha! Let’s cheer up, Miss. I heard there’s a place for women in Kiru too… … .”

“Shut up. You’re more trash.”

Oh Seo-young turns her head out the window and points her index finger at something in the air.

Move side to side, index finger to select something.

Park Won-cheol smiles commercially when he sees Oh Seo-young with short hair.

“Ha, haha! When you change your hair to short, your character comes to life… … .”

“Don’t talk to me.”

Oh Seo-young never stuttered again after that.

* * *

After two more days, we were able to reach our destination.

A fairy flower that all the beauties of Gerard gather around.

“Oh, how is this place… … .”

As Park Won-cheol’s gaze is drawn to the fluttering sleeves of the gisaengs, laughter is heard.

“I haven’t seen your face before. Is this your first time here?”

“You look cute. Are you both warriors?”

As the gisaeng grabs his arms on both sides, Park Won-cheol shouts with a bright face.

“Ahahahahahaha! This is the paradise!”

“…Peach Blossom Land? Where is that?”

“Where! Where there are pretty people like you!”

“Hehe, I see you were really looking forward to it. Come inside.”

Park Won-cheol enters the room like a possessed person.

Another courtesan grabs my arm.

“Your muscles are so toned… …. Oppa, do you want to play with me?”

As the woman’s hand strokes my arm, I realize that there is a problem with me.

‘… … I guess you can hide a weapon with sleeves that long.’

She was a frail courtesan who didn’t even seem able to properly hold a wooden sword.

I couldn’t stop myself, even though I was aware that I was pathologically wary of such courtesans.

‘It won’t work… … .’

I had to pretend to be a guest, but I couldn’t stand it.

At close range, where you cannot properly respond to a surprise attack, the woman’s arm is pulled away.

“Uh… yeah?”

The gisaeng looks at Oh Seo-young and the hand that pushes her away.

“… Oh, sorry. So you two came together?”

Mysterious eyes looking back and forth between me and Oh Seo-young.

“That’s not it.”

Although Oh Seo-young spoke firmly, the gisaeng did not erase her smile.

“Hehe, you don’t have to hide it. A lot of customers with unique tastes come to our store.”

“No.”

“Okay, okay. Come inside~.”

Follow the guided steps and enter the hut.

Park Won-cheol is seen surrounded by gisaengs.

“Hahahahaha! Okay, let’s get in the mood! Take a fist each!”

“Yes, yes? … Gold coins?”

When Park Won-cheol opens his bag of gold coins, the gisaengs reach out their hands as if possessed.

A look of fascination at the enormous gold coins he had never seen before.

At that moment, someone’s shouting is heard.

“What are you guys doing! Everyone, go back to your seats!”

An old woman with a bent back.

Whether in a management position or not, the gisaengs disperse with military-like faces to find work.

“Customer, it is embarrassing to behave like this at the Fairy Flower.”

Park Won-cheol scratches his head and asks.

“… …Can’t I spend money?”

“Haa, that’s not it… … Please return the weapon first.”

Large men walk towards us and demand that we hand over our weapons.

Park Won-cheol glances in my direction and smiles salesily.

“It’s an expensive weapon, so I’m worried about leaving it to just anyone. I’ll pay you a fair price… … .”

“Even if you give me a billion dollars, there will be no exceptions. You cannot enter the fairy flower with a weapon.”

He speaks in a firm tone, obediently holding out his sword.

“You’d better handle it carefully. If someone who can’t handle mana holds it in their hands, it could cost them their life.”

A magical sword that takes away your body the moment you grab it.

My sword can’t be stolen even if you want to.

“No bragging. Where can you find such a sword?”

A few men laughed and ignored my words, but Madame’s attitude was different.

“Do as the guest says. Wrap it in a cloth, and be careful not to grab the handle.”

At Madame’s words, the men obediently bow their heads and carefully retrieve their weapons.

“Customer, please give me the dagger inside as well.”

He had a great eye for detail.

At Madame’s suggestion, he takes out the dagger hidden in his bosom.

“Is there anything I should be careful about with this dagger?”

“does not exist.”

“Okay. Once you’re done returning, come over here. I’ll show you to another room.

I walk with the old woman and look around.

Men laughing while drinking alcohol served by courtesans in their own rooms.

I quickly scanned their faces.

‘It looks like there are quite a few people belonging to the palace.’

I didn’t recognize their faces.

“Oh my god, is that true?”

“Hahahahaha! Of course! It was none other than the Sword Master himself who gave the order… … .”

A tale of bravery that you hear even when you don’t want to hear it.

“You’re just a soldier, what are you talking about, Geumseong! Don’t believe it, it’s all a blatant lie!”

Although it was mostly just empty boasting, the general identities of the men were known.

“If you wait, I will send the children to their rooms. If you need anything, please call this madam.”

Madam goes out and I wait for a moment.

The gisaengs file in carrying plates of food.

“Oh! I didn’t expect it to be that good, but it looks pretty tasty!”

Park Won-cheol with an excited face.

“Would you like me to pour you a drink?”

“Ah, ahahahahaha! Good!”

Park Won-cheol, who was entranced by the gisaeng’s words and received alcohol, pours out his story.

“I mean, when I was in another world, I had no money. But when I opened my eyes, I was on the Gerard Continent! I thought it was an opportunity! Just looking at it gave me business ideas… … .”

“Ah, I see~. Would you like some of this liquor too? It’s called Noeryongju, a high-quality liquor made with dragon’s beard. If you pay extra… … .”

“Hahahaha! If there’s something like that, follow me! I’ll evaluate the taste of the alcohol!”

Gisaengs rush to Park Won-cheol and offer him expensive drinks and food.

It was obvious that they were after Park Won-cheol’s gold coins, but I wasn’t worried at all.

‘Even if everything in the castle is sold, Park Won-cheol’s pockets of gold will never run dry.’

So far, everything has gone as planned.

Thanks to bringing in Park Won-cheol, who was overflowing with money, it was easy to get into Giru.

‘Before we start working, we need to take care of that side first.’

I turn my gaze and look at where Oh Seo-young is.

“No, no, no! I really don’t need it!”

Oh Seo-young, surrounded by tall men, was desperately waving her hands.

“Madam, I wish there was a room where I could rest.”

“Is there a child you like?”

“… … No, I just want a room where I can literally rest comfortably.”

When I wink at Oh Seo-young, who looks troubled, the madam nods in understanding.

“Honey, please bring the guests in.”

“yes yes!”

At Madam’s words, a young girl who was doing odd jobs takes Oh Seo-young somewhere.

‘Let’s check first.’

He stands up from his seat, holding his glass, and looks out into the hallway.

The girl quietly looks around the room that Oh Seo-young was guided to.

“What would you like to do, sir? I don’t think you came here to have fun with the gisaengs.”

Madame looks at me with narrowed eyes as if she is suspicious.

He speaks to the madam as if he is talking to himself.

“They say there is a magical gisaeng who can see the future. I wonder if it is true.”

Turn your eyes and examine Madame’s face.

Madame’s face frowned for a moment.

Madam says with a smile on her face.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know which child you are referring to.”

“Are you saying there are no fortune tellers?”

“Any child can see the fun in it. Or, would you like me, an old man, to tell you the future?”

It was a lie.

As soon as his soul was completely burned, his memories of the leader disappeared, but the memories he had consciously recalled still remained in his mind.

‘It definitely existed.’

I once thought of the leader’s soul riding on it.

Madame had introduced a special courtesan to the chieftain who had come to Giru, and had recommended her several times to have his future read.

“If you find it funny, then stop.”

“If you wish, I can tell you the location of the famous fortune teller.”

The madam in front of her eyes had different memories and actions from the leader.

I was suggesting that you seek out a fortune teller outside the building.

“If you know where the fortuneteller is, I’ll tell you tomorrow. I’d like to rest today.”

“Okay, come this way.”

Are you on guard?

Madam personally guides you to your room.

“Rest in peace.”

It was a room with a different feel from Oh Seo-young’s.

It was a room located in a hallway where gisaengs often walked.

‘Are you going to keep an eye on it by leaving it in a place I frequent?’

I roll my eyes and look around the room.

There is a large window that opens out to the outside.

‘Why aren’t the windows guarded?’

When I looked outside, I could see why.

‘There are many eyes watching.’

Outside, there is a constant flow of guests and gisaengs.

It was impossible to climb out the window without being noticed by those people.

If only I wasn’t the one in the room.

‘now!’

A very brief moment, less than a second.

Taking advantage of the gap where no one is looking, he climbs out the window in one breath.

‘You have no choice but to find it yourself.’

After climbing out the window, he acted naturally.

When you follow people’s footsteps and look around, pretending to be another customer.

I felt someone approaching me.

“Oh my! Why are you here?”

I look at the woman blocking my way.

It was the gisaeng who stroked my arm at the entrance to the kiln.

“Are you by any chance looking for me?”

A woman wraps her arms around you seductively, transmitting her body heat.

He whispers quietly to her as she shows her blatant affection.

“They say there’s a gisaeng who can see the future. Do you know anything about it?”

“Ah, ah… … Well, well? There’s no such person… … .”

The face of a courtesan looking embarrassed.

“Well, then have a good time.”

He puts his hand into his arms as he watches the gisaeng trying to move away in a hurry.

“Take it.”

Place a bag of gold coins on your hand.

“Huh, huh?”

The courtesan, bewildered by the heavy weight, sneaks a peek inside.

“……oh my god.”

“If you tell me correctly, I’ll give you one more.”

He shows another bag of gold coins in front of the gisaeng.

The absent-minded courtesan shook her head as if trying to come to her senses, then looked around.

“By any chance, are you meeting for some reason… … .”

“My friend’s life was saved thanks to the fortune-telling by a courtesan. I would like to thank you.”

“… … Hmm, really? How did you manage to survive?”

After thinking about the specific question for a moment, he opens his mouth.

“I heard you met a man who could use both black magic and dark magic.”

The courtesan’s attitude changes noticeably at my words.

“… … Ah! Hey, come this way!”

What does this courtesan know?

I didn’t think the gisaeng’s reaction was a good sign.

‘Perhaps the palace’s breath is in the air.’

There was a good chance that the gisaeng would report me.

Traitor to the palace, Lee Hyeon-seong.

Because the palace people who visited Giru would have talked about Lee Hyeonseong’s characteristics.

‘A man who uses both black magic and swordsmanship. This may be why he linked me and Lee Hyeon-seong.’

Although he didn’t have a dagger, it wasn’t difficult to take his own life.

For the next life.

Follow the gisaeng while memorizing the complex geography of the gisaeng house.

“… … Come in here. I, I’ll give you this back.”

The courtesan who returned the gold coin I gave her hurriedly disappeared while looking around.

‘We’ll be able to tell if it’s touched by the breath of the palace if we go in.’

Go through the window that the gisaeng guided you through.

A panicked voice is heard from inside.

“… …Who are you?”

A woman who looks a little older than me.

I glance at the book in front of the woman.

“That’s strange. Are you reading with your hands rather than your eyes?”

A peculiar book with dots instead of letters written on it.

The woman takes her hand off the book and says.

“… … Please get out. I’ll call someone!”

A woman who had her eyes closed the whole time, possibly due to an eye problem, leans against the wall and raises her body.

-Drunk.

A woman sticking her face out of a wide open door.

I tell her why I came here, even though she’s about to scream.

“I came here because they said I could see the future.”

The woman flinches and stops moving.

“… … Where did you hear that?”

“The bandit who tried to rob me of my belongings said this before he died. He said that the gisaeng foresaw his own death.”

The woman’s expression changes at my words, and she closes the open door.

“… … How did that bandit die?”

“He died after being shot in the stomach.”

“… … It must have been black magic.”

A woman gropes her hands into the air.

“Could you please let me touch your… … face?”

What is the intention?

He gives his face to a woman groping in the air.

The woman touches my face carefully, then lets out a sobbing sound.

“… … Really, the time has come.”

She looks at me and says.

“Welcome, Lee Hyun-seong. I’ve been waiting for you.”
