151 – Ask for help
‘what is this?’
Calmly reviewed the contents of the letter. I read it several times from start to finish without missing a single word, but what I was thinking was right.
A letter asking for help from a nearby estate.
It was a quest that announced that the main story of the game had entered the middle.
The ring I got from killing Arachnainera was still sleeping in my drawer. So it wasn’t like the ring was handed over to me without my knowledge.
I would have understood if this had happened to the sub-quest.
If you’re a user who puts more importance on walking around the map and clearing the map than pushing the story or clearing the quest, sometimes you’ll be confused by completing the quest without even realizing it.
However, the main story is to defeat Arachnainera and deliver the Pratroid family ring. In other words, it meant that you could not skip in the middle or achieve only that first.
I must have been.
‘… … Is this also the aftermath of meeting the three eaters?’
My head was complicated. If this happened due to the aftermath of the world eater destroying the story and intruding first, there was no such nuisance.
I’ve almost given up on continuing with the story of the game, but the appearance of the world eater and this letter asking for help were similar but distinctly different.
In the case of that lizard, an incident that did not exist in the game happened new, and in the case of this letter, an incident that existed as the main story in the game happened earlier.
To put it bluntly, it could be seen as similar to the act of beating a creature abandoned by the gods as soon as it entered the holy kingdom.
‘Is it because I caught all the essential bosses in the beginning?’
At first, it was the most plausible possibility. Of the 3 essential bosses in the beginning, I already beat the spider, and I took this opportunity to kill all the golems and wolves, so maybe that’s why.
In the game, stories and quests are intertwined, and in the end they become essential bosses, but I ignored all of that and went to find them and beat them.
“Are you okay, Captain? You don’t look very good.”
Laxia also made a serious expression. Seeing that I was in a bad mood, he must have guessed the contents of the letter at will.
The content itself was never serious. Rather, isn’t it good for the people of this world to see? to the point of wanting to It was only me who knew what was going on inside that had to be serious.
“It’s fine. It’s nothing.”
“It doesn’t seem like a big deal. What do you mean?”
I quietly handed over the letter. Upon receiving the letter, Laxia read the contents carefully, then tilted her head with a questioning expression.
“It doesn’t look like anything serious. Whether it’s a request for help, or something promised in return. There’s nothing bad about both of you, right? On the contrary, since I requested it directly from the captain, you could say that I have a high reputation.”
The content of the letter was simple. The lord of a city a little away from here pointed me out and asked for help.
The key is to subdue the dungeon that was created near one’s territory, and the reward was all loot and by-products from the dungeon, as well as additional money.
The overall outline was similar to what we saw in the game, but the details were completely different.
As an expression to refer to me, there shouldn’t be such things as driving out dragons, getting the position of knight commander of the newly created knights, and supporting Aurora, a collateral imperial family.
A different name had to come out. It was not the name of the world eater, the Knights of the Dark Star, Aurora. The names of the bosses in the early and middle part of the main story, which will continue after returning the family ring.
Because the player subduing them all happened before receiving the letter.
‘It feels like your trust in me pierces the sky.’
In the game, it felt like asking for help from a knight whose name had risen recently, with the feeling of grabbing a straw, but now I felt much more confident that I would be able to solve this case unconditionally.
It seemed that the level of rumors known as my achievements was different.
“I know. you have to accept Laxia will not reject it like you think.”
“… … ?”
The question on Laxia’s face grew bigger. In the end, if he was going to accept the request, his face seemed to ask why he had that expression.
“… … Okay. How many people would you like to bring? I will tell you while you prepare.”
“no. Am I going alone?”
“Yes?”
“So, are you leaving again?”
“… … .”
Aurora, who had her chin resting on her desk and her cheeks puffed out with a look of great displeasure, was the first to speak.
“If you go away alone like that, what about the next outing you promised?”
“If you go and come back-”
Before I could finish my words, the golden eyes that were staring at me tensed up. I stopped what I was trying to say.
The gazes of the rest of the members, including Helga, the second-in-command of the Knights of the Dark Night, could be felt from behind. Unlike Aurora, it was a look full of excitement.
Lana, who was standing next to Aurora with her hands clasped on her belly, also had an expressionless face, but her eyes clearly showed that she was looking forward to how our conversation would turn out.
Laxia went wild and objected, saying that it was not okay to go alone, so I compromised with one deputy commander. The one who saw that compromise was Helga.
It’s a fact I’ve only recently realized, but the Knights of the Dark Star had a very strong misunderstanding of the relationship between Aurora and me.
I tried hard to excuse myself, but I didn’t believe it in the slightest.
That’s why he is watching Aurora and my conversation with so much interest. From their point of view, this will look like a fight for love.
‘It’s a really strange world.’
In the meantime, no one cared that I even mixed bodies with Rize. Even for me, it was an atmosphere that I thought it should be.
It is disgusting and unimaginable for a woman to have multiple men, but for a man to have a woman is a testament to his ability, so it is an achievement worthy of praise.
Of course, it is said that if a man does not achieve achievements worthy of him, it is one thing to be pointed at, but I have already thought about it from the previous stage.
“Why all of a sudden? It’s not an order or threat, it’s a request, so you can just refuse. It’s over there that’s urgent, not us?”
“They say a dungeon appeared nearby. It seems to be a rune dungeon.”
“If it’s a rune dungeon, you can gulp it by yourself, why are you asking for help? Since when did you have such a kind heart?”
“I already sent in an article to do that, but since more than ten people have already gone missing, it must be difficult to handle it alone.”
It’s not enough to pass over all the rewards and subjugation items inside, and I’ll even give you an additional reward if you want, so I’m not asking you to get rid of it. There was such an inside story.
I tried to eat alone and wash my mouth, but my mouth was torn on the contrary.
Moreover, it was said that few people guarded it, but it was a rule to report to the imperial palace first when discovering a rune dungeon. The moment it was revealed that he had tried to eat alone, he had to take care of the aftermath.
That’s why I’m trying to ask for help and keep my mouth shut with such a huge reward. No matter how valuable a rune is, how can it be worth only one’s own life and family?
I don’t know if it’s a new knight whose name value is just rising like in the game, but I don’t know what to believe in me, who was directly gifted to the knights by the emperor, and asked to eat runes without the emperor’s knowledge.
What if I go to the emperor and tell him?
“… … What’s the reward?”
“You can take all the things that come out of the dungeon, including runes, and he said he would give you extra money if you want.”
At those words, Aurora’s eyes widened slightly. If they even said to have runes, it meant that the situation was desperate. Even Auroo knows that well, so he must have reacted like that.
“… … .”
Aurora seemed to be thinking deeply about something. And then, as if he had made up his mind, he rested his chin on his chin and untied his hand.
“I want to go too.”
“… … What did you just say?”
“I’m going too. Why not?”
For some reason, I felt like I knew how Laxia felt when I said I was leaving alone.
“Younglord. It’s okay for us to go, but going all the way to the lord might seem like a strange intention—”
“I will take care of that. And, can’t you think of this instead of going out?”
Aurora was reckless. Maybe it’s because blood can’t be deceived, but like her aunt Caicilia, she had a stubborn side.
In order to overcome that stubbornness, persuasion with a clear basis is needed, but unfortunately, I did not have such a card.
“… … Okay. Instead, can’t you come to the combat zone?”
“of course. I know my subject well. You don’t have to worry about that because you’ll be treated as a guest and you’ll be locked in your mansion.”
I couldn’t help but nod my head and turned around. Then, right behind us, the knights who had been watching our conversation with curious eyes averted their gaze.
A feast of bunny girls unfolded before my eyes.
And one reverse bunny.
“… … .”
Bunny ears of the same color as each person’s hair stood on top of their heads. The clothes that tightened the body tightly, revealing the outline, and barely covered the areas that were really meant to be covered.
Bare legs showing off her thighs and calves without wearing stockings. Like bunny ears, high-heeled shoes the same color as their hair.
Lastly, a thick X-shaped sticker pasted on the nipples and genitals of the deputy commander.
I was dizzy from the first time I saw the samples and designs, but I was doubly dizzy when I saw them wearing bunny girls as a group.
I tried to suppress those emotions and opened my mouth.
“Hello.”
“Yes. You can tell me.”
Rather than the rapid Laxia, the answer came back with a half-dragged voice.
If I wanted to move on my own, it would have been better for me to have a personality that just finished my own tasks and didn’t pay any attention to anything else, rather than being enthusiastic, so I let it go.
“I have to serve the lord, how many more people do you think we need?”
“Well… … well. I think maybe we are enough.”
“Are you sure?”
“No. I’ll bring you another one.”
Perhaps realizing that if she did, the burden would be all on her, Helga quickly changed her words.
The figure of Helga left waving a rabbit tail on her hip, and the rest of the group followed suit with their rabbit ears and bobbing chests and twitching hips.
It looked like a dealer going to some kind of casino.
—-So, inside the carriage… … .
—-Inside the carriage… … The risk of getting caught… … .
—-If it doesn’t shake… … .
—-Even the sound… … .
And behind her back, Aurora and Lana were whispering something intently. An ominous feeling had already passed through my brain.
