357 – Side Story: Weapon Collection – 3
“… ….”
“… ….”
Two sullen expressions. And the expressions were turned towards each other. The jet black pupils that had been staring at the other person for a while suddenly turned towards me at the same time, as if they had made a promise.
As it was not yet within the viewing angle, it was clearly visible that the timing overlapped. Rinne and Nyx frowned, as if that fact was quite unpleasant.
“Hey, what is this?”
Nix, speaking informally, pointed to Rinne and asked a question.
She was not Linnaeus, she was not an alchemist, and at the very least, she was not this woman, but she seemed to be quite displeased with the other person, as she used the word ‘this’.
“This is the alchemist I told you about. “Nix, the person who said it felt like you.”
Nix and Rinne were disgusted by those words.
One side has a special relationship with me, and the other side lacks common sense. She is the woman who made that fuss, saying she would kill Pech and take over me from the first time we met.
The fact that those two people were so openly disgusted meant that they really disliked what was just said.
“Kihihi, even if it’s you, that’s a bit too much.”
“hehehe, even you say that a little too much.”
“… ….”
Similar words came out again. Rinne and Nyx fell silent. Instead, jet black eyes glared at the other person.
As expected, my prediction was not wrong. I don’t know why, but those two have a strange resemblance. When I first saw it, I thought it would feel like that if the nyx was aged well, but this made me even more certain.
The atmosphere was gloomy, the tone of speech was mixed with a strange smile, and even the fact that the hair was scattered and that the chest area was quite large compared to the height was consistent.
Nyx is much shorter than Rize, and her breasts are on par with Rize’s, so I’m talking about Rinne. That’s it.
It was a combination that I couldn’t help but think was similar.
‘Did you have a sister hidden from Nyx?’
After thinking about something pointless for a moment, I laughed to myself. Nyx was a soul guardian woman who crossed over to this world, and Rinne was from this world from the beginning. She has a degree of delusion.
“Why did you call this woman?”
“Didn’t you make a deal? She said she would call one more person in exchange for allowing her to watch the trap more closely.”
“…… Okay. “Let’s go.”
Because she had said it with her own mouth, she seemed unable to refute it, so Linnaeus took her steps with a slight pout.
It was already dark, so Linnaeus, with her black hair and black clothes, blended in quite well in the darkness. What was also significant was that the clothes she was wearing were a one-piece dress without any special decorations.
However, those huge breasts could not be hidden no matter what.
It was the first thing you noticed no matter what angle you stood at, it was a violent size, and even the dress, which was infinitely more exposed compared to Aurora, felt obscene.
‘It’s a healthier outfit than the Knicks, though.’
“Kihihi, why?”
“No. “Let’s quickly follow.”
I was somewhat hesitant and followed Rinne. As her back turned towards her alley, Nyx whispered softly so that those around her could not hear.
“But what are you doing today?”
Nix didn’t know exactly what he was doing today because he agreed to follow him before even explaining what he was going to do.
“Laying a trap.”
“…… Trap?”
A question appeared on her face.
I stopped in the middle of the alley and pointed to Rinne, who was smiling darkly and waving his fingers. If anyone saw her, they would believe she was a ghost.
Her fingers were moving a blurry string that was connected to the bottom of a window on the third floor of the building. At the end of the line, a complex device was steadily being completed.
“Trap, what kind of trap?”
“Specifically, it depends on that side. I don’t know exactly either. “Because it’s Rinne’s heart over there.”
“It doesn’t seem like they’re just doing this to harass people, but is there something else they’re after? Kihihi.”
Nix muttered darkly.
That’s right. The location where Rinne was setting up her trap was a place that an ordinary person could never reach. What ordinary person in the world would come into a dark alley in the middle of the night and point at the wall under the window leading to the third floor of a building?
That building is even a jewelry store? It is an action whose intention is clearly visible.
He said it was a method he came up with as a last resort after trap parties for guests visiting the workshop were banned due to me. It was unclear why they were so obsessed with traps.
“That’s enough. Hi-Hi.”
Linne returned to us not long after.
“Now to the next installation area-“
ㅡSqueak.
And just as I was about to say let’s move to the next location, the window opened. Rinne’s face said, “This already?” A feeling of embarrassment arose, but quickly turned into joy.
I winked at Nyx. Nyx seemed a little displeased with the idea of having to cover up Rinne, but since my words took precedence, he used black magic right away.
Darkness surrounded the three of us.
“Hee hee, hee hee, hee hee hee…” ….”
Linnaeus smiled darkly and looked at someone who cautiously stuck her head out through the open window.
The man looked around him very carefully for a long time, but he could not see through the concealment spell that Nyx had cast directly, and he quietly leaned out as if he was sure that no one was there.
ㅡCha la la la rock!
“…… !”
Not long after, we touched the spot where the trap had been set up.
The trap has been triggered. The man, who noticed something strange, even used his magic to urgently try to pull the man’s arm away. A blue light flashed in both his hands.
However, it was a trap set by Linnaeus himself. Instead of breaking, the trap exploded and covered the body with a strange white liquid.
The man, whose entire body from below his neck to above his knees was submerged in white liquid, was stuck against the wall and could not even move. His limbs sticking out of his body struggled pathetically.
Soon a white liquid crept up and covered the entire face, leaving only the nose. I was in a state where I couldn’t even scream anymore.

“hehehe, you. “You and I are thinking the same thing right now, right?”
“…… “Maybe so?”
No matter how you looked at that white liquid surrounding the man’s body, it was suspicious. There was only one object that came to mind.
I was trying to convince myself that it was really true and tried to end it, but Rinne, who must have overheard our conversation, struck me.
“That’s right. Even the feel and smell were perfectly recreated. hehehe, I’ve never tried the original, so I don’t know if it even tastes the same.”
It was a truth I didn’t really want to know. Nyx retched and quietly buried her face in my arms.
“…… How?”
“One of my teachers used to catch men passing by and study them. It was quite a long time ago. “Has it been about three or four hundred years?”
Linne smiled darkly.
“The security will take care of that person later, so let’s move on. I also researched the next location in advance. “The stolen items will still be on your person, so it will be enough as evidence, hehehe.”
Rinne, excited to have succeeded in her first turn, headed to the next location, even humming her strange song.
We set up traps in a total of eight locations until dawn, and caught three more people. Two of them screamed before their mouths were covered and were arrested on the spot by patrolling guards.
The guards were curious about who had set up the trap, but anyway, they focused more on escorting the criminal in front of them.
“hehehe. “Thank you for following along today.”
Traps were set up in 8 locations to kill 4 people. Linnaeus said her success rate today was very high and she was very happy. She usually installs it in 20 places and there are many cases where it doesn’t get caught at all.
She seemed to be under the illusion that something was thanks to me, so I drew the line at her, saying it was just a coincidence, but Rinne, who was in the best of moods, didn’t listen to her.
“So, what I promised-“
“You were hiding in a place like this. Judging by the color of the veil, does it seem like a warlock?”
As she interrupted Linnaeus’ words, a knight wearing silver armor appeared. She stopped what Rinne was about to say.
Not even one person. Silver armor was walking from four directions.
‘The magic was seen through…’ … ‘It’s not that bad.’
She wondered how she noticed, but the space near her seemed to be slightly distorted as Rinne had just raised her body. A pulsation was created in her veil, so anyone as skilled as the Knights of the Silver Dawn could sense her presence.
“I won’t say it twice. “Are you the ones who set up the trap?”
It was a voice she had heard many times when she visited the Knights of the Silver Dawn. I don’t even know the name.
Unlike back then, he seemed like a different person, exuding life in every word. It would be natural for me to not be able to show a criminal smiling.
“Knights of the Silver Dawn? Why are those people here…….”
Linne’s voice trembled slightly. There was a faint fear in her jet black eyes.
Because of my position, I have no reason to show myself like that, so the Knights of the Silver Dawn are an order of knights directly under the emperor that protects the imperial palace. It means that it is a group of only the best among the best.
Even if Linnaeus was ignorant of what was going on in her world, he could not help but know about her skills.
“Wow…… After all, staying up all night is tiring…….”
In comparison, the Knicks were indifferent. I gently stroked Nyx, who was whining in my arms.
“That’s true, but don’t you think you’ll just move on? It will be recovered when the sun rises anyway, and the only people who will get it are those who did bad things. Yes?”
I made a voice before rushing in from the other side. The reason we didn’t lift the curtain was because we wanted to move on on good terms without having to see each other face to face. If you make eye contact and talk for no reason, it’s uncomfortable for both of you.
“That can’t be possible.”
With words that were far beyond expectations, the siege was further narrowed.
“There are dozens of criminals who have fallen into traps for unknown reasons. Although it is said that no ordinary people were harmed, the fact that an unauthorized trap was set up in the capital of the empire is enough reason not to sit idly by and watch the situation. We will execute according to the principles. “You and your group will all be questioned, so please follow us.”
As I was wondering if he didn’t understand my voice, Nyx told me that in order to hide his identity inside the curtain, the voice emitted to the outside is different from the original.
Then there was no other way. I need to show my face quickly first. I walked out of the tent.
“…… !!!!!”
The deadly force that was facing this direction was scattered all at once.
“Hello.”
“D…… Delta…… ?”
“Sorry. I ended up hiding my identity unintentionally. Nyx said that your voice changes when you are inside this curtain. “I think that’s why you didn’t understand.”
“Is that so?”
“How did you get here?”
The Knights of the Silver Dawn quickly lowered their weapons and took off their helmets and continued their explanation.
It turns out that Linnaeus has been doing this ever since the day she opened an alchemy workshop in the capital of the empire. So, if you just count the number of installations, it is already at least hundreds of times.
No matter how much you only target criminals, you have to do something because an unauthorized trap is set up, but it was impossible for an ordinary guard or knight to catch Rinne.
In the end, after repeated requests for support, the Knights of the Silver Dawn were dispatched, but as luck would have it, Rinne took me on a tour of the trap today.
“This is really a coincidence… ….”
Linnaeus strongly denied that it was accidental and not intentional. I thought that would be the case too, so I just passed on. There is no way that woman could have made such a detailed plan.
“Now, should I follow the principles and get arrested too?”
When I smiled and held out both hands, the members all mourned for death together.
“…… If I do that, I might really get killed by Captain Rize. And after being resurrected, he will be killed one more time by Iris and Captain Erica. “The last one will be Director Claudia.”
“I’m kidding. Just go back and tell them that the training is over. Because nothing like this will happen in the future. “I will keep a close eye on you.”
“Yes. All right. Thank you, Delta.”
Relief appeared on the knights’ faces.
After sending all four people away, I turned my head towards Rinne, who was dumbfounded.
“I have to finish the calculations I was doing.”
“Uh, yes. Yes. That’s right. “I have to finish it.”
The jet black eyes that had been blurry for a while came back to life.
“So, you know how to make soft weapons?”
Agility weapons must be made from items that are originally dropped when defeating a boss. Just like the abyss sword I made last time.
However, she said that Rinne can make a soft weapon without Boss Dramtem, whose whereabouts she naturally cannot find as all the monsters disappear.
That was the reason I followed Linnaeus today.
“Ceres! “I’m a guest!”
She heard a voice calling her from outside the door, but Ceres straightened her back only after finishing her work.
Then, he looked down and smiled happily, then grabbed his chest one by one and gently opened it to shake off the sweat that had accumulated in between them.
“Who is it?”
“I don’t know. I heard you came looking for me. “What do you want to do?”
“Request?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Then what did you get it for? “Send it back.”
Ceres, who was about to ignore it and take out the next metal, thought about something for a moment, then sighed and wiped his sweat. When I came out, I saw a bronze-skinned woman with startled eyes.
“What, meeting you?”
“Wait a minute. “Go in instead of me.”
“Okay. “Oh, by the way, what’s wrong with you?”
The woman went in to fill Ceres’ empty seat with surprised eyes. Ceres stood for a moment, then took a bucket of water from the side, sprinkled it on herself, and then went out to greet the guest.
I was soaking wet, but I didn’t care. The fact that you came when work was in full swing also meant that you didn’t care about the other person’s outfit.
Sometimes there are b*tches who act like sh*t, but those b*tches get kicked out of the women’s line they just entered.
‘Your attire is ordinary.’
Arriving at the place where the guests were waiting, Ceres slowly glanced at the woman standing there.
It was a little unusual that everything, starting with the hair, was hot pink, but there was nothing special about the underboob that clearly exposed the lower breasts or the tights bottoms that were only the size of briefs.
The hot pink woman said her greeting to Ceres.
“Hello! It’s called fetch!”
“So, you called me?”
“Yes!”
“Why?”
After a brief pause, the woman spoke, shaking her hot pink twin tails slightly from side to side.
“There’s someone I want to punch!”
