Episode 57. Yoo Sangjong (2)
Arrr-.
“Am I privileged? Do you really think so?”
A laughing voice echoed across the deck in the vision of the mad dog.
Yuri was holding a sneer.
“Where do you think you are going now?”
No one answered that question.
Yuri also didn’t expect any answer, so he just continued talking alone.
“This is the cradle. A place where goods are overflowing more than any other bank in the world, and boasts stronger power than any other power. A group that doesn’t even eat bribes, and only evaluates skills. That is the dragon’s cradle.”
“… … .”
“But such a dragon’s cradle gives preferential treatment to a single rider? Do you think it makes sense? Those who really thought so should go and take an intelligence test. You idiots.”
There was a chill in Yuri’s last words.
Some were in a fit of heat and had their hands on their weapons.
But Yuri had no intention of stopping.
“Oh, well, yes. It could be because I gave in a hundred times. Let’s pretend it can. The dragon’s cradle is also run by people after all, so can’t anything happen? however… … .”
His mouth moved nonstop.
that’s how it started
Yuri intended to show it clearly.
what kind of guy you are
Yuri caused a life.
“By the way. If it happened that one jockey received preferential treatment… Shouldn’t you argue with the cradle that gave you that preference? Why are you yelling at a strict person?”
“… … .”
“And I’m envious of being given preferential treatment, and if you don’t like it, you guys either take bribes or use your personal connections… If that doesn’t work, even suck the Black Swordsman’s ass! You should have tried to get preferential treatment somehow!”
Yuri’s eyes as she scanned the surroundings were filled with misery.
“Hey, bastards. If it were me, I would have asked the secret to how I got preferential treatment instead of giving a damn to the person who received preferential treatment. Tsk.”
Silence followed Yuri’s low voice.
“… … .”
Of course, not everyone present thought like the freckled boy.
But for some reason, no one immediately refuted Yuri’s cynical words.
They were also sympathetic to some extent.
Even if Yuri’s story wasn’t all right, it wasn’t completely wrong.
As far as anyone can see, it was the freckled boy who started the fight first.
Even if it was a little extreme, Yuri’s actions might be worthy of the title of rider of the cradle.
That’s what I thought.
But there were also those who did not think so.
“Even if it were so, your actions earlier were excessive.”
A heavy voice was heard and the eyes of the audience turned to the back.
Where everyone’s eyes are focused.
The man there was none other than Gunter Irons.
Standing upright, Gunter stared at the glass.
Yuri’s head tilted slightly at his gaze.
“Excessive? what?”
“I also agree with you. Our place is a cradle, and such a cradle wouldn’t have favored a mere rider. The cradle is not such a flimsy place.”
“however?”
“But just a moment ago, you used your hands more than necessary. Even though I could have told the boy with words, as now.”
The polite words created a thicker pathetic look in Yuri’s eyes.
So, no good sound could come out of his mouth.
“How are you? What kind of smart asshole are you?”
“… You talk too much.”
“Or what kind of teacher are you? What can you tell me in words?”
Yuri sighed heavily as he saw Gunter’s eyes getting fiercer.
“ha… This is Won, since we said we were classmates in the 50th class, do you think we became real friends? Why, why don’t you join hands and do it well.”
“… … .”
“Relax, I say again, this is the cradle. And those wrapped in the word motive are your competitors.”
Yuri’s index finger pointed at the successful candidates scattered around Gunther.
“And because I just dumped one out, we have one less competitor? Hey, I thought I would at least bow to thank you for doing me this much.”
Yuri shrugs.
Gunther said with a hard face at his story.
“Yes, we are competitors. I don’t deny that either. I have no intention of denying it. however… … !”
Gunter’s voice gained strength.
“What we need to do is compete in good faith. Even if there is a dispute in the process, I believe that the other party should not be hostile and excluded.”
“why?”
“Someday… Because the day may come when we help each other as colleagues.”
“… … .”
Yuri’s expression strangely changed at his answer.
‘colleague?’
support each other?
It was an unfamiliar word to Yuri, who had always survived and fought alone and won.
Because of this, he could not easily open his mouth to Gunter’s story.
Although Yuri’s eyes were hidden by his long hair, Yuri and Gunther stared at each other.
When a heavy air current flows between the two like that.
clap clap-.
Applause was heard.
Pair-.
It was a one-eyed man who appeared clapping his hands.
The one-eyed man who was already watching the situation from the deck.
Appearing late, he looked at Yuri and Gunther alternately.
“I enjoyed listening to the heated discussion.”
At the same time, people were interested in whether he would raise his hand between Yuri and Gunther, or conflicting values.
But what came out of his mouth was a completely different story.
“What is the cradle, what is the motive. He told a pretty funny story. well, good That’s good.”
The one-eyed man glanced over the crowd.
“Talk about things like that once you become an official jockey. Watching those who are not yet official jockeys making noise, I couldn’t stop intervening because I was so full of energy.”
A girl jumped in, startled.
“yes? Didn’t we already become official jockeys? Didn’t you say that if you hold out until January 1st in the Forest of Beginnings, you will become an official rider?!”
At that, some nodded their heads.
On the other hand, the one-eyed man snorted.
“I? when?”
“yes?”
“I said that if I survive for a month, I will step on the ground of the cradle as a 50th unit that has been freed from the reserve label.”
“That, that sound… … .”
“What are you doing to judge that?”
With those words, a bloody aura rose from the one-eyed man.
Cold eyes scanned the surroundings.
“Who are you guys to judge my meaning?”
The mouths of those who were about to refute were quickly shut.
At this, the one-eyed man’s ridicule deepened even more.
“You guys become official jockeys after the entrance ceremony. Until then… Okay, let’s say it’s about half.”
“That, like that… … .”
Ignoring the surprised crowd, the one-eyed man spoke to his subordinate.
“What happened to the guy who fell off the boat earlier?”
“I am fine.”
“Was there a total of 301 of the 50 units that came out of the Forest of Beginnings this time?”
“That’s right.”
“Good. Even so, only one person bothered me a lot. We got exactly 300 people on this one. Pick him up and send him back home. The title is… It’s a shame. How dare you question the Black Swordsman’s work? A worthless bastard.”
Those who saw that the person who first mentioned the preferential treatment controversy was expelled in vain.
Among them, those who sympathized with the controversy over preferential treatment became cold.
In the meantime, the one-eyed gaze reached Yuri.
“You guys.”
He let out a light sigh.
‘It’s this guy again.’
If he was only a reserve jockey, if there was a commotion, he was at the center of it.
‘It’s already like this… How much more trouble he will cause in the future.’
There are two years left until his position changes.
The one-eyed man thought that it would be nice if the two years passed quickly.
he said, looking at the glass.
“I won’t interfere no matter what you guys do when I become an official jockey, but until then you are the things I have to manage. Even that idiot you dunked in the water.”
The one-eyed man pointed at Yuri with his index finger.
“You damaged my maintenance without permission, so you will have to pay for it.”
In response, the one-eyed nodded lightly, and Subha picked up Yuri’s junk.
It was the point bag and all sorts of odds and ends that the one-eyed man handed over just a while ago.
The one-eyed man who retrieved it smiled.
“Take this in return. Alright, let’s break up! Everyone is strict, but don’t lose your energy and go to sleep!”
He was a one-eyed man who just disappeared with such a satisfied smile.
Yuri was convinced of this.
‘That was stolen on purpose.’
I’m sure he didn’t like the freckled boy either.
In particular, Yuri’s actions were tantamount to punishing the guy who talked nonsense on behalf of the Black Swordsmen.
Because of that, the incident from just a moment ago must have been something that could be easily overlooked.
In fact, even if it seemed like he was just going out, Yuri’s behavior was somewhat of such an expectation.
however… … .
‘On top of that, you’re going to take away what I gave you by attaching a sagittarius for no reason?’
Looking at the back of the one-eyed man who seemed to be amused for some reason, Yuri muttered incredulously.
“and… It’s really no joke.”
It was only a few minutes ago that I was excited about the free points.
Yuri, with her eyes open, was robbed of her belongings and left broke.
“… Won’t you give it back?”
sniff-.
He hunched over in one corner of the deck with drooping shoulders.
Whip-wimp-.
Yuri whimpers whether it’s tears or runny nose out of sadness.
and some distance away from it.
The two pairs of eyes that followed the pitifully crushed glass shone brightly.
* * *
After the fuss, the quiet voyage continued.
In particular, Yuri’s intention of ‘I’m going to become a huge piece of sh*t!’ seemed to have worked properly, and the surroundings around him were empty enough to make one feel desolate.
Thanks to that, Yuri was able to spend a peaceful time as intended.
For a while.
The peaceful time passed quickly, and Yuri realized.
“Ha, I’ll turn… … .”
The fact that there are some very crazy people in the world who don’t avoid poop and who have to step on it to get rid of their innocence.
“Haaa… … .”
Around noon when the sun is shining.
In the wide shade, Yuri sighed, telling the ground to disappear.
‘… How did it happen?’
With such a question, Yuri tilted her head back.
Then, the existence that created a great shadow for him appeared.
Bronzed skin and shiny bald head.
2m 30cm is a huge size with a thread that seems to exceed it enough.
A black top with ragged sleeveless sleeves and rugged forearms, not sure if this is a human body or a piece of stone.
And the most impressive feature was the T-shaped red tattoo that started from the forehead, crossed the forehead, and reached the tip of the nose.
The appearance of this guy with the appearance of a barbaric warrior whom he had only heard about was a little while after Yuri played the game.
Yuri has become the number 1 lunatic recognized by others.
As a result, he was able to become a person that everyone avoided as he wanted.
Of course, as a result, the number of people who disliked Yuri increased exponentially, but he didn’t care at all.
Rather, Yuri hoped that this situation, this tranquility, would last a little longer.
That’s when this guy came over.
[I am hungry.]
