A quiet inn.

Jeong Yu-shin was sitting alone on the counter chair.

Tarman and Anne left the city for a while, and Karin has not yet returned from the temple.

I rested my chin on my hand and admired the street view through the window.

A night street where people and monsters mixed together. It was like looking at the eastern district.

Rattling.

The inn door opened.

Thump, thump.

An elf with an eyepatch over one eye walked in slowly.

A decadent impression.

The smell of monster blood wafted from the dirty overalls.

Aldane.

The head of the monster dismantling center.

Jeong Yu-shin got up from his seat and nodded his head.

“Are you here?”

“Okay.”

Behind Aldein, a few men with a scowl came in and stood.

Aldane came and sat down across from me at the counter.

The dark inn lights flickered above the two men.

Jeong Yu-shin took out a bottle of alcohol and a glass from the cupboard and put them down.

“Are you a dwarf shipper?”

"yes."

Jeong Yu-shin picked up the bottle of alcohol and filled the glass in front of Aldein.

Aldane looked down at his drink and then drank it.

“A really bad guy has popped out.”

“Are you talking about Saul?”

"yes."

“What are you doing? You don’t even seem to know how to use a snood.”

At Jeong Yu-shin's words, the bald man standing behind him scratched the back of his head with an awkward expression.

“He’s an old, sly bastard. It’s obvious that the snub-nosed one doesn’t know.”

An old Iranian word came out of the elf's mouth.

It was clear that he was something of a threat.

Aldane fiddled with his blindfold.

“Ska, how much do you know about the Eastern Sector?”

“I understand that it is divided into three forces: moderate, neutral, and hard-line.”

The moderates are a force that dreams of coexistence by cooperating with the residents of the labyrinth city.

Astaroth, who works under Lilith, is a moderate.

For reference, Vivian, the leader of the Night of the Dead clan, and the Arachne Tailoring Guild are also moderates.

Neutrals are those who act according to the interests of their own forces without regard to good or evil.

For example, Oswald, who runs a circus.

The hardliners haven't really seen any monsters except for the ones that invaded the festival this summer.

“Right. Where does Saul look like?”

“Are you a hardliner?”

"no."

“It won’t be moderate. It’s more on the neutral side.”

"right."

When Aldane held out a glass, Jeong Yu-shin poured him a drink.

“Saul has made several big illegal deals in the eastern districts, in gambling houses, bars, and on the black market. He is a master of manipulation.”

“...”

Jeong Yu-shin filled his glass with alcohol and took a sip.

“He has a few subordinates, but no clan. He’s survived in the underworld for a long time without forming a large group. He’s not one to show himself openly, but this time he’s popping his head out of a swampy pit. He must be in a hurry.”

“Are you trying to persuade me?”

“I know the general idea because of what Ddeulchango said. So what did you do?”

“I called him boss and he started yelling.”

Aldane shrugged and laughed.

“Kuhaha. A person like you is not someone who should be placed under someone.”

Jeong Yu-shin glared at the smiling Aldein.

Aldane's smile hardened and he continued speaking.

“He’s a secretive guy. Little is known about his subordinates. They change all the time. So you should prepare well too. Do you need my subordinates?”

Jeong Yu-shin thought for a moment and then shook his head.

“It’s okay. It’s just a hassle when there are a lot of people.”

“Saul is a peculiar man.”

“In what way?”

“That guy is originally an elf.”

“It looks like a human.”

“I got the humanization imprint in the labyrinth.”

“...”

Jeong Yu-shin kept his mouth shut.

The joke he made in front of Saul was about a humanization imprint, but it turned out to be a real imprint.

There were all kinds of star imprints in the world.

So that's why Aldane used the word 'long'?

I understand.

“I’ll say it again, Saul is a sly rascal. He came looking for you for only one reason. To finish all the investigations and see if he should kill you for the last time or if he can keep you alive and use you as a puppet.”

"okay."

Jeong Yu-shin nodded and responded.

“Just wait for now. If I get some more information, I’ll let you know through Deulchanko. You said you need subordinates to run the inn, right? I’ll pick a few and send them to you tomorrow.”

“Okay, take a look.”

“Take care. See you later.”

Aldain led his men and left the inn.

Let's wait a moment, Karin has returned.

Lin was riding on his shoulder, and Delia's 'personality' was wriggling in the leather pouch on his shoulder.

“I’m here. Scar? Your expression is strange. What’s wrong?”

“Sit down.”

Jung Yoo-shin sat Karin down and explained about Saul.

Karin's face hardened after hearing the whole story.

“I'll go too.”

Jeong Yu-shin shook his head.

“I’ll take care of it. And you’ll have to protect the rest of the party. Saul might intervene. Lin and Delia are guests at the inn, after all.”

"still!"

“Please.”

Karin bit her lip at Jeong Yu-shin's request.

“Ugh! I can’t help it.”

Karin sighed and blushed.

Then he got up from his seat, took off his pants, and was left in his underwear.

"what?"

UlFRblVJeEt0R01oWGZFZXFXMGFSNWdHOGYwZnJTMFJCQnJ6VXNFRzQ1cFRxNlh5QmpjNW9teGFXMWp6dHpuNg

Karin took off her leopard-print panties and held them tightly.

“Take it.”

Karin, who had been thinking for a moment, forcibly put the hopi patterned panties into Jung Yu-shin's hands and said.

The small, leopard-print panties with thin waistbands were warm from Karin's body temperature.

Even though I didn't bring my nose close to her, the warm panties emanated a strong, musty female scent.

Karin quickly put on her leather pants, her face turning bright red.

Jeong Yu-shin made a blank expression.

“No. Why on earth are you giving me panties?”

“It’s a talisman.”

“···Is this a tradition of the Red Wolf Clan or something?”

“No. Do you think there would be such a perverted tradition?”

“You peed on me last time.”

“Oh, it’s not pee! Anyway, since it’s not some kind of perverted tradition, take my panties. I got the imprint this time...”

Jeong Yu-shin, who had been listening to Karin's explanation for a while, opened his mouth.

“Are you crazy? You got that kind of imprint of indecency?”

Karin's face grew increasingly red.

“Oh, I can’t help it. But I think it’s fortunate. I’d rather be a little embarrassed than have your life in danger.”

Jung Yu-shin fiddled with Karin's panties and spread them out.

The inside of the warm panties was slightly wet with a sticky, clear liquid.

“Look, don’t look!”

Karin blushed and clung to Jeong Yu-shin.

“Uh... sorry.”

Jeong Yu-shin quickly apologized and scratched his head.

“But do I have to wear this for ‘that imprint’ to activate?”

“I...not at all. If you like it, you can wear it.”

Jeong Yu-shin frowned.

“Karin, are you a pervert? Why do I have to wear panties soaking wet with Karin’s love juice?”

“It’s not a rash! It’s just a little wet because it’s hot!”

Karin grumbled and got angry.

Jeong Yu-shin folded Karin's hopi-patterned panties neatly and put them in her back pocket.

"thanks."

Karin opened her palm and flapped it to fan her face.

“Oh, anyway! Don’t think I’ll stay still forever. If you’re in danger, I’ll come to your rescue at any time.”

Jeong Yu-shin smiled brightly and patted Karin's head.

“Don't worry.”

* * *

Three days have passed.

A rascal stopped by the inn and brought back information about Saul.

Jeong Yu-shin and Deulchangko had their heads together and planned several operations, but then abandoned them.

The other person already knows about you.

It is safe to say that Sacred Weapon and Revenger are known.

There must be a countermeasure for that.

Is this a plan to seal the magic power or kill in one breath?

It would be safe to say that the place where Saul was staying was a death trap.

There was no reason to force my body into the other person's mouth.

If you don't go, I'll send someone this way.

There is one good plan for this situation. Similar, but a little different.

Jeong Yu-shin smiled.

Late evening.

Jeong Yu-shin left the inn, escorted by Karin, Deulchanko, and the newly arrived Aldaine subordinates.

I went straight to the Eastern District and stopped by Vivian's magic shop. I was able to find it right away thanks to Karin's careful directions.

“Barbaro, I see you again. What’s the matter?”

Vivian, dressed in an old-fashioned dress, sat leisurely at the counter.

“I came to see if there were any useful items.”

“Is there anything you want?”

“Let me just take a look.”

Jeong Yu-shin looked at the items in the store.

There are also magical ingredients that look strange, like earthworms or bugs.

There were also pink handcuffs, whips of unknown purpose, and even kinky objects like wiggling slime dildos and tentacle dildos.

There were strangely shaped magical tools, as well as scrolls sealed with seals of various colors.

Jung Yu-shin was rummaging through his magic tools when he discovered a scroll among them.

A scroll sealed with black candles. It looked different from a «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» normal scroll.

Vivian frowned as Jeong Yu-shin brought the black scroll to the counter.

“Huh? Why is this here? This scroll shouldn’t be here. Barbaroi, child, it’s an expensive item.”

“What is this?”

“A magic scroll that creates a barrier.”

Barrier?

Jeong Yu-shin tilted his head.

“Please explain a little more precisely.”

“It’s true. If you tear the scroll, a circular barrier will be created for about 30 minutes, and it has the effect of blocking the outside world. It’s an advanced magic, so it shouldn’t be in a place like this. Should I have a brief meeting with the shop owner?”

Jung Yu-shin overheard Vivian's monologue. That's not important.

“How much does it cost?”

“I’ll give you 100 gold coins.”

Jeong Yu-shin thought for a moment before buying the scroll.

If Saul were to seal his magic, wouldn't he be able to use something like a scroll?

You have to lose to win.

“I like this scroll. You said you’d give me a discount last time, right? Let’s make it 30 gold coins.”

“···Child. You’re calling it too cheap. A magic scroll like this costs at least 300 gold coins.”

“You said you would give it to me cheaply?”

“Wouldn’t 100 gold coins be a cheap price?”

Jeong Yu-shin looked at Vivian without saying a word.

Vivian let out a deep sigh.

“Huh. I see. Since you saved my clan members, I guess I’ll have to do this. No discount next time, right?”

"thank you."

He took out a gold coin from his pocket and paid it.

Vivian put the gold coins on the counter and rested her chin on her hand.

“Be careful. Saul seems to be plotting something in his own camp.”

How did you know?

Vivian smiled faintly as if she had read Jeong Yu-shin's expression.

“There is a way to know everything. Are you curious?”

“No, that’s fine. But is it okay for you to tell me that?”

“This is my heart.”

Vivian smiled faintly and waved her hand. It was obvious that she was being a guest. Jeong Yu-shin bowed and left the store.

Jeong Yu-shin left the alley and walked down Dongbu Street.

All preparations are complete.

I have already confirmed where Saul is, as Aldain told me.

casino.

But I didn't head there.

Instead, he went to the bar run by Saul.

After walking for a while, we left the downtown area and arrived at a bar on a dark street.

'Here it is.'

I looked up and read the bar sign.

Bucktooth shelter.

Saul's tavern was an unusually shaped wooden building, three stories high.

The mean-looking man standing at the entrance rubbed his hands.

“Customer, what brings you here?”

“What brings you here? I came to have a drink. And I also wanted to look around.”

“Oh my! Are you one of the customers participating in the auction? Okay.”

Jeong Yu-shin followed the human into the bar.

In the large, circular bar, several people were gathered and drinking. On one side, they were playing an unfamiliar card game.

Jeong Yu-shin sat down in an empty seat on the first floor and grabbed a passing clerk to order a drink.

“Two silver coins, sir.”

“Keep it on credit.”

“Oh, I understand.”

The clerk was about to refuse, but he could tell immediately that this was no ordinary man just by looking into his eyes.

The experience of working at a bar for a long time told me that there was nothing good to be gained by messing around. The waiter decided to report to the boss in a higher position and quietly brought out the drinks.

Jeong Yu-shin sipped the alcohol the clerk brought and blankly stared at the stage.

On stage, women wearing transparent clothes that clearly showed their breasts and genitals came out and danced.

Some drunk people were laughing and sexually harassing her.

Jeong Yu-shin watched the stage with a numb gaze.

As time passed, most of the drunkards left and only a few people remained.

Squeak.

thud!

The entrance door closed and a group of grim-looking people approached and stood in front of the stage.

A well-dressed orc came out on stage and greeted us.

“Hello, dear customers. We have some good items coming in today, so you can look forward to them. Now, let’s start the auction right away!”

The people sitting at the table nodded.

“It is a powerful narcotic aphrodisiac. It is so strong that it makes even the purest priests take off their clothes and beg for food like sows. I will start with 30 gold coins.”

“It’s a dagger that puts a curse on the opponent. If you stab them properly just once, it has various effects such as incapacitation, interference with chanting, muscle twisting, etc. This item also costs 30 gold coins.”

“A scroll that can raise the dead as undead. There is a time limit and undead have no advantage, so only limited commands can be given, but it is still sturdy and useful. It is a limited edition from the Necromancer's Guild. This one starts at 60 gold coins.”

“A rare poisonous plant that only appears in the 9th floor forest area. It is a terrifying poison that can kill even a giant ogre in one go. It costs 20 gold coins.”

Various items came and went. People raised their hands and watched each other, engaging in a war of nerves.

Either way, Jeong Yu-shin sat with his arms crossed.

That's not why I came. I was so busy thinking about how to drag Saul out here that I didn't have time to worry about things like that.

When the last of the poisonous herbs were sold, the guide said:

“Okay! Next, let’s go to the ‘thing’ you’ve been waiting for!”

As the host gestured, chained people and monsters walked out.

“These are slaves from outside the city. The economy is not good these days, so there aren’t many useful people! You can use them as laborers or prostitutes. Or you can use them as porters or meat shields in the labyrinth.”

Jeong Yu-shin's indifferent expression broke.

On the stage, a 10-year-old boy and girl were shivering, clinging to each other.

The boy reassured the girl by comforting her as if he were her older brother, but he himself trembled slightly as if he was afraid.

The slaves were sold off one by one.

The host looked down at the two children.

“These two siblings remain. The girl is young, but she is not bad looking, so you can use her as a prostitute, and the boy has strong-willed eyes, so you can use him as a meat shield for a labyrinth explorer. I will start you off at a particularly low price. Ten silver coins!”

Jeong Yu-shin couldn't stand it any longer and got up from his seat.

“Oh, shit. I can’t stand it anymore.”

“...”

The bar fell silent.

Jung Yu-shin slowly approached the stage and opened his mouth.

“Have you all received the stamp of a dog? Buying and selling hairless children? Stop moving, everyone.”

A cool voice echoed through the inn.
