73 – Ah, oh no, my hand slipped!
From Noble mtl dot com
Right next to the room where Rian was staying.
Unlike Rian’s room, which was decorated like a bedroom, this place was decorated like a luxurious living room.
A muscular man, slightly taller than a dwarf, sat on the stone sofa, with a cigarette in his mouth.
“Just because of a bunch of brats, you couldn’t handle a child’s play until now?”
“W-Well… each and every one of them is stronger than most skilled fighters…”
Thud!
His muscular arm forcefully hit the sofa, making a threatening sound. It was enough to make the sofa creak from the impact.
“At such a crucial time, you’re telling me you couldn’t take care of a shabby organization made by those brats? Whether you capture hostages, set traps, or bring in strong mercenaries… do whatever it takes to wipe them all out!”
“Yes, yes!”
The Dwarf Boss.
He was nicknamed the boss of a large organization, despite being much shorter than the average person, due to his charisma and cruelty.
“Of all times, why do these annoying pests show up when we’re in the middle of a war with the Deviatans, tsk.”
The man clicked his tongue and deeply gulped down his drink before spitting out his words.
“I heard the leader of that brat gang is quite handsome… He could fetch a good price in the market. Or maybe I’ll just keep him for myself. hehehe…”
The man chuckled to himself and then shouted at his subordinate who was standing against the wall.
“Go and bring some alcohol.”
Following his command, the subordinate left the room. Just as the man was about to take out another drink and light it up.
Kwaaang!
With a loud explosion, the wall of the room he was in shattered.
“C-Calm down!”
“Kyaaaoong!”
Amidst the beast-like sound, Jes, with water dripping from her head, emerged from the dust. She was wearing only a shirt that reached her thighs and was glaring at something.
“W-What’s going on…?”
As the startled boss stammered, a sudden white steam rushed into the room. The steam that had filled the bathroom escaped outside and invaded the boss’s room.
Because of that, Jes’s lower half was completely covered. In the world of comedy, this was an all too natural law, but in this world, it was a scene that seemed extremely alien.
Suddenly, as the wall broke and a stranger barged in, a white mist that could obscure the vision rushed in.
From the boss’s perspective, with enemies all around, it was only natural to consider the intruder as an enemy. He quickly got up from the sofa and exclaimed.
“It’s the enemy! Come out quickly!”
The door, which had been firmly closed, suddenly swung open, startlingly. It was his entourage, who followed him everywhere. The boss spoke with an irritated voice.
“How is it that you can only come out when such a commotion occurs!?”
“What…I couldn’t hear anything from inside!”
“Did you even use noise-blocking magic? Ha, I see you’ve really prepared just to catch me!”
The boss laughed wickedly, looking at the silhouette leaping through the mist in the adjacent room, as white fog rolled in.
In no time, the fog that began to fill the room reached up to the boss’s chin. It had risen to just above the average person’s thighs.
“I don’t know what you all have prepared, but you won’t leave here alive. Hey! What are you looking at! Hurry up and catch that guy!”
“Yes!”
The entourage, who hastily drew their swords behind the boss, rushed towards Jess, who was darting around the room with a determined expression.
Swoosh!
As they got closer to the moving silhouette, a grey-furred mouse leaped into the air and dropped onto the face of one of the guards.
“eeek! Prey!”
Jess, who was running on all fours with her body lowered, leaped after the fleeing mouse. She extended her sharp claws, intending to tear the mouse that fell on the man’s face. Just as Jess’s claws were about to touch the mouse’s body…
Snap!
The mouse let out a squeak and jumped to another place. However, Jess’s claws were already in a swinging motion and couldn’t be stopped.
“aaah!”
Slash!
Jess’s claws left a long gash on the man’s face. It was such a strong attack that it was too much for a street cat or dog scratching. The man fell, pouring out blood.
With her eyes fixed on her prey, Jess used the fallen man as a stepping stone and jumped towards where the mouse had escaped. The mouse was clinging tightly behind another man’s back.
“Kraaah!”
“Screaaam!”
“Huuh…wait…cough!”
Screams filled the air as the guards fell one by one, swallowed by the white mist.
“Damn it! What are you doing? They’re just kids, for god’s sake!”
The boss muttered, watching the guards being swiftly taken care of as if being swallowed by the white mist. He took out an expensive scroll from his pocket.
“Damn it…damn it…”
His gaze continuously followed the silhouette darting through the mist. His eyes bloodshot, fixated.
Sizzle-.
Along with the sound of a baby mouse crying, a gray mouse popped up in front of the boss.
“Eek…!”
Just as the boss tensed up, trying to tear the scroll in his hand.
“Stop.”
“Keuh!”
With a soft voice that sounded like the rolling of a glass bead, a red-haired attacker appeared in the air.
“Oppa, I caught this.”
“Iris, well done!”
Even before the guards were attacked, Lian had tried to head towards the adjacent room to stop Jess. But Jess was leaping around in a frenzy, making it impossible for Lian to get close.
Whenever she got close, she would step on clothes that weren’t visible (which Iris caught for her) or a piece of clothing would fly at her face, obstructing her vision.
In the midst of the guards’ continuous screams, she had no choice but to ask Iris to hold onto Jess for her.
“Jess, you should wear proper clothes when you’re out and about!”
“Uh… I’m sorry, Master Joo-in…”
After Lian sternly scolded him, Jess regained his composure and apologized with his ears drooping.
Thud.
As Jess became submissive, Iris loosened her grip on his hand and let him go. Iris, who had cleaned up and dressed in elegant clothes, was stunningly beautiful despite her young age.
“Wow…”
The man who was holding a scroll stared blankly at Iris.
‘Ah, she’s truly beautiful. More beautiful than anyone I’ve ever encountered before!’
Normally, the boss would have immediately exploded with anger and hurled insults at the other person, but Iris was so beautiful that it left him speechless. With eyes filled with emotions that should not have been captured, he spoke.
“Hey, if you’ve destroyed someone else’s escort team and made a mess of their room, you should pay the price.”
“Oops, I’m sorry!”
After Jess put on his clothes and was able to walk around properly, Lian scratched the back of his head and stepped into the room where the boss was.
“Our house’s child was rude. Ah, I’ll ask about the hospital bill.”
The boss responded with a hearty laugh to Lian’s mild attitude and laughter, which were almost impossible to see in this area.
‘What a gullible idiot.’
He relaxed his tense body and spoke with an arrogant attitude.
“Just a few pennies and you think you can leave? After causing such a big damage?”
“Uh, well…”
As he expected, when he confronted the other person threateningly, they showed a helpless expression like a gullible fool. The boss swallowed his saliva and glanced at Iris as if licking her.
“Well, if you hand over that wig-wearing girl over there, we’ll let this incident slide.”
“…”
With wide eyes, Lian slightly parted her lips in response to Boss’s words. Her expression changed strangely at the absurdity of his statement. Boss, with his gaze fixed on Iris, spoke with a flickering gaze.
“Take good care of her, treat her well for me. It will make you happy too. Clothes, if it’s clothes, jewels, if it’s jewels! If you want something, give it all! You just have to be lovely on the bed-…”
Crack!
The man couldn’t finish his sentence and fell to the ground with his face pixelated. Iris looked at Lian with wide eyes. Lian stood with a tense expression, as if throwing something.
“How dare that bastard… ah.”
He blurted out a curse but quickly regained his senses. Lian looked at the pixelated Boss on the ground with a trembling gaze. A beautiful dark sword was stuck in Boss’s head.
“Uh, well…”
Lian hesitated for a moment and approached Boss. He coldly observed the lifeless state.
“Well, it’s fine because in dark fantasy, killing each other is a daily occurrence. Well, whether it’s true or not.”
He tried hard to justify his impulsive actions, sweating coldly.
“But… the residents of the dark fantasy world are really weak. They die from something like this.”
Snap.
As he pulled out the dark sword, Gargantua, it made a whining sound.
“Ugh, why is this blood so tasteless? I want to rinse my partner’s mouth, so give me blood!”
“But you don’t have a mouth.”
“That’s what I’m saying!”
“I’ll give you blood later. I might have to escape because I caused such a big commotion.”

With that, he sent the dark sword back to his hand and quickly left the inn with his belongings. Since fights and raids were a daily occurrence, as soon as there was a loud noise, the innkeeper had left the premises, as heard from the whispers of passersby.
Anyway, he quickly left the inn and left the land of Jiso behind.
A few days later, Noah established his nest in the city of Cardishan.
“What? The organization is collapsing? Why?”
“The boss was attacked and killed in another area. There is internal conflict over the position of the next boss.”
“This is our chance… Before another organization takes over, we’ll sweep them away and take control of that territory.”
With Lian’s help, Noah’s organization began to steadily engulf the underworld.
I like how the misunderstandings and “lucky coincidence” is likely the fault of the gag filter of Lian
🤣🤣🤣he died because of misunderstanding 🤣🤣
