160 – [3] Your childhood friend is now screwed.
#160
The store owner looked at us intently.
The extremely benevolent expression felt like pressure.
The long red hair seemed to be approaching menacingly.
The red eyes seemed to be weighing heavily.
And here, it was her physique that reached its peak.
The size of this store and that store did not match well.
I took a slight step back.
The other side followed suit, but soon realized something was wrong and stopped.
“Oh, I guess everyone was surprised by my short height. Then…… Resizing.”
The owner snapped his fingers.
Then, her physique, which was barely over 60cm, grew to the level of Ines.
It was not a superpower, but a type of disguise magic.
It may not seem like much, but it was proof that she knew how to use magic to some extent.
In other words, it was probably an action shown with the intention of preventing unnecessary behavior.
For this reason, I bowed my head to a woman belonging to a race commonly called the ‘angel race.’
“Oh, there’s no need to say hello.”
He smiled and waved her hand.
Then, the food ingredients we dropped began to be placed in a basket in one corner.
“Is there anything else you two are looking for?”
“… ….”
“You can speak comfortably. Anyway, unlike the former Angelus of Charelthea, I am not a bad person.”
“…… Oh my god.”
But my hand kept going to my waist.
The contents of the education I had received countless times in my new life of nearly 20 years flashed before my eyes.
I was just about to leave the store with the intention of pulling out my sword.
The cross hanging around her neck caught her eye.
“Renegade Angelus?”
“Yes, that’s right. So you don’t have to be too nervous.”
I withdrew my hand.
However, the person next to her seemed to have not understood this at all and was trembling and holding on to her spear.
“W-what are you doing! Angel tribe! Angelus! “Why do you lower your weapon in front of that strong guy?”
“You’re a renegade. “A group of angels who abandoned the Shinmok religion, which believes in the world tree, and converted to Catholicism.”
“As you can see, it is a body that has received the grace of the Lord.”
“Apostasy? I’ve never heard of such a thing in school…….”
Ugh, we always discriminate against people, so we can’t get proper information.
I held the hand of Ines, who seemed to have grown up in a collapsed public education environment.
He immediately shook his head and told him not to do anything foolish and made him lower his weapon.
“He will be twice as old as us, and after training for a long time near the World Tree, he will be stronger than we can imagine. Even if it’s not, it’s right to just move on from here.”
A different race whose purpose in life is to protect the World Tree.
They are one of the few people of a different race who are always well-received even among the Chareltea people, where oppression and discrimination are commonplace.
This tribe is also a pillar of the Shinmok Bridge that supports the World Tree.
They were Angelus, the angel tribe.
Naturally, as they were supported so much, each one was strong.
It was at a level where even ordinary hunters couldn’t fight carelessly, and if they showed up, it was almost certain that several people would die.
Right now, in the game, if the angels carried the object high into the sky, the protagonist could not do anything other than fall to the ground.
Being able to fly like this was a great blessing, different from other races that walked with their legs attached to the ground.
That’s why they became even more hung up on the world tree that was thought to have created them.
“Oh, it’s because he can’t calm down. “I’m sorry if you were offended.”
“No. There aren’t that many people who defect like me, so it’s something that can’t be helped. “I’m glad if your friend calmed down.”
Of course, not everyone who hanged himself was truly fanatical.
People like the owner here often abandon the World Tree and run away.
Abandon the World Tree.
In some ways, they had similar origins to the elves of the Far North.
However, unlike the elves in the far north whose circumstances of leaving home were somewhat unclear, their circumstances were somewhat clear.
The only reason was different for each individual.
“Uh, well.”
“As long as the Lord is there, fear will quickly be washed away. Do not worry. “I came this far because I found a ray of light in my fear.”
Some people, like this person, defected due to religious issues.
He defected after seeing the combat rations thrown away by the Hunter.
He was captured by Hunter, but he was so persuasive that he defected.
He even defected because he had an affair with someone from the first world who was sent as a spy.
Anyway, there were many reasons.
It was not because the absolute number was small that it was difficult to understand.
So, I breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the basket handed to me by the owner.
I was about to put the rest of the ingredients into the basket.
The door of the store was opened.
Just when I thought another guest had arrived, familiar figures appeared beyond.
“Aewon, it’s over there.”
From Noble mtl dot com
A ball of hair.
One of those hairballs from earlier.
It couldn’t have been a truly incredible coincidence.
I ran into the same thief I was trying to avoid again in the same store!
I intuitively knew what the situation was, but I just smiled and continued putting the ingredients.
Ines gave me an anxious look, but I nodded and said it was okay.
“What would you do in someone else’s store anyway? “Just add more ingredients.”
“Uh…… I get it.”
If you at least have some sense, you will stay still or leave.
Anyway, if you’re a b*tch who lives in the black market every day, you’ll probably have at least one face with the store owner.
At least I will maintain commercial ethics.
In Korea, such common sense and laws have always been followed.
But, the furball boldly approached this way.
The gait was so confident that even the owner seemed to ignore it.
He’s an angel, but he’s coming without even saying hello?
What are these guys doing?
“You idiot, grab your hunter watch and come out of the store right away.”
Yes, I’m not going.
I ignored it because I only needed to find one food ingredient anyway.
What was important to me now was not what he was saying, but whether there were any ingredients left here.
I wanted to avoid the hassle of coming here again.
So, before I knew it, I approached the angelic owner who had moved to the counter.
She also had a somewhat puzzled look, but she ignored it because it didn’t really matter.
“Do you have a good quality dog wyvern tailbone?”
“Ah…… What should I do with this? “The dog wyvern’s tailbone was completely gone by Monday.”
“There are people waiting for you outside. “Come out now.”
“Yes? “They’re all gone?”
“Supply is scheduled to arrive again tomorrow…… “There is nothing left in stock right now.”
Everyone is gone.
But the stock will arrive tomorrow.
“You there! “Can’t you hear me?”
“If so, I will pay in advance here today, so could you send it by courier?”
“I’m sorry. Our store doesn’t do anything like courier delivery…… “I think that will be difficult.”
“Ah… ….”
“Instead, we can set aside a few items in advance. “If you could stop by tomorrow or the day after, would it be okay?”
“What a cute little bastard! “Can’t you hear anything I’m saying right now?!”
Ebebebe.
Sian can’t hear anything.
“Yes, please do so.”
We put the baskets on the counter and the owner counted them one by one.
Immediately, a receipt was presented to me.
I looked at the price and was satisfied because it was cheaper than expected.
I took out my cell phone from my pocket.
“What a cutie! “Can’t you hear me?!”
“Is it paid?”
“Yes!”
Seeing as how this has come to pass, it appears that there is no will to evade taxes.
He could not have been a truly honest person, running a healthy business in the black market.
Some people who live somewhere say that taxes are more scary than death, and even when they buy a share of stock, they think about how to evade taxes.
It was truly an ironic reality.
I completed payment immediately.
The angel clan owner fluttered his wings and smiled kindly as if he was happy.
Finally, with a snap of his fingers, it became smaller again and spun around in the air.
This was a store with really great customer service.
I said thank you and headed toward the door.
There was a furball in front of the door, fuming.
It was already too late.
I immediately grabbed the hairball with my hand and threw it down.
But at that moment, I tried to put my hand in my pocket.
It was in vain as I twisted my body, but it was truly an amazing technique.
“Tsk tsk.”
It would have been many times better to try working as an F-class hunter while I was here like this.
I clicked my tongue and headed outside.
Then, I saw several scary-looking people standing in a rainy place.
It’s as if they can’t pass through here until they defeat them.
It’s not just stealing, it’s as if they’re trying to take something.
Except for the hunter watch, I don’t have any expensive belongings, so what are I thinking?
I thought about it carefully, but I couldn’t come up with an answer right away.
I turned my head and said that I should accept reality.
“Ines, ask for the understanding of the angel boss here and subdue the furball.”
“Huh? “What can we do against them?”
“You can either fight or negotiate. “If they’re blocking the road, you can’t get out.”
However, looking at the nonsense that everyone had created, negotiation seemed impossible.
I wonder if the members thought this was a black market.
“Then…” ….”
“By the way, when you’re done subduing him, come out and help me.”
“I understand.”
I like that you understand quickly.
After that, Ines entered the store.
The door closed with a bang.
Now, in front of the store, there were only these random guys who didn’t know if they were gangsters and me, who was completely the victim.
I thought they might have said something, but they stayed quiet as if they were waiting for them.
It seemed like they were trying to put pressure on me, but I was grateful.
I immediately took out my cell phone.
“Don’t worry, I’m not a police officer.”
I flinched a little.
It seemed like he was a little emotionally shaken.
“Well, even if I call you in a place like this, you probably won’t come anyway.”
He informed me kindly.
Actually, they know that too, so they’re holding on like that for now.
For this reason, there is only one person I want to call just in case.
Scratching her legs at home, she was a woman who was probably doing the most innovative management of our time.
I pressed the number 1.
– 00:00
The phone was connected like a knife.
Soon, a sound was heard that sounded like someone stored in poop was stretching.
– “Gangshi Wai~”
“Hey, a thousand birds. “Your childhood friend is now screwed.”
I didn’t intend to make a long phone call.
I immediately continued speaking in Korean.
– “Det? My childhood friend? “Are you the only childhood friend I have?”
“So, I’m screwed.”
– “Ah.”
“I will share your location in real time, so bring your car and pick me up right away.”
– “Huh? Sleep, wait! “What on earth is going on?”
Suddenly.
Then I turned on the real-time location sharing function.
The update time was 10 minutes, which was set as quickly as possible.
Finally, preparations were completed by sending the sharing link to Cheonmari.
What I had to do now was to deal with the black market underdogs.
He wore a hat attached to a black raincoat.
I walked over the eaves.
I was hit by the pouring rain.
I looked around.
“I was wondering if some carpet bastard suddenly came out. “There was a back boat?”
It started lightly.
