“you are…”
“Huh? What about that box?”
As I stared blankly at the owner, the owner, who had been hiccuping while drunk, brightened his eyes and reached out for the box I was holding.
“Why are you here?”
“Egg…”
As he looked at him with a wary expression and pulled the box he was holding back, the owner, who lost his balance, fell face down on the counter with his hands outstretched.
“Hey, I’m the main character of the box you’re holding.”
“you?”
As I looked at him with a frown on my face, a surprising sound came out.
Is it really that the old man who is drunk and flirting in front of me right now is Rocinante, the legendary master and in charge of the item shop in the first part?
“After all, you guys look a lot like Hanbyul… Of course, the hair color is different.”
“What?”
As I was thinking about it, the old man began to sound like a fat calf.
“What…”
“Okay, let’s get the job done right away. Of course, you are well aware that the things I make come with a price…”
I tilted my head and tried to ask about the words he mumbled, but the owner stopped me and started talking with an annoyed look on his face.
“Here, jade.”
“Damn. I hate a business that doesn’t have money left over.”
When he handed the jadeite that he had been given as a reward to such a master, he nervously took the jade and began to grumble.
“So, what do you want to make?”
“It’s not production, but I want to ask for repairs and remodeling.”
With that said, when he held out the ‘Mask of Deception’ that had been split in half, the owner said with a plastic expression on his face.
“What? Is this rubbish?”
“Is that rubbish?”
“Yeah, if I had made something like this, I would have died of shame.”
The owner, who said so with a frown on his face, immediately struck the mask with a hammer on the counter and shattered it.
“I didn’t need to break it, did I?”
“As far as the magic effect hanging is of the highest level, you do it to recycle, you bastard.”
“You say you’re a jerk?”
“I’m not a wizard, I’m a craftsman. Of course, magic tools can’t be made without materials.”
Seeing him answering me with a blunt expression on my back, but kindly, it was only then that I realized that he was really Rocinante.
This is because the characteristics and personality of his son that were written in the prophecy written by Seonjo were exactly the same.
“Are you alive now?”
“What are you going to do, knowing that? There’s nothing more meaningless to you than life and death, right?”
“Do you know who I am?”
“Well? I know you’re my guest.”
It was then that I began to seriously question the owner, but he only gave a stern answer or turned away.
“It’s annoying.”
“If you don’t like it, go out. Don’t you come to the store on your own feet?”
I frowned, already fed up with profound settings and facts, and the owner responded bluntly again.
“By the way, won’t you return my stolen box?”
“…here.”
“Okay, then let’s get to work.”
I handed the stolen box to the owner, and he started walking behind the counter with a smile as if he had ever done it.
“It’ll be over soon, so please sit there and wait for a while! I’ll make something nice with the mask you gave me!”
“Wait, I’m just repairing the mask…”
“I’ll make you several times cooler than that mask, so don’t worry!”
After hearing his loud voice, I sighed quietly and asked a question.
“You, don’t you want to work as my exclusive craftsman?”
“I don’t even want to!”
Then the owner, who glanced at me, answered with a chuckle and entered the counter.
“…Cania, can you hear me?”
After staring at the place where the owner disappeared for a while, I quietly walked out of the store and muttered.
– Yes, Young Master. It sounds good.
Then, Kania’s voice resounded low from the communication magic tool I was holding, and when I heard that voice, I smiled with a smile of conversion and said to myself again.
“Come to my place right now. I’ve found the owner.”
– I’ll leave right away.
Hearing Kania’s calm reply, I smiled and cut the connection with her and fell into thought.
‘If the owner is a real Rocinante… you can’t miss it here.’
According to what the previous hero said in the prophecy, if you can secure that person, you must secure it.
He is a person who understands the items the system gives in the first place and can make them more powerful, so I would have tried to secure them even if there was no such word, but I am even more concerned about the addition of the mention of my ancestors.
– So, make sure to pound Rocinante instead of me… No, secure it. Of course, it’s only theoretically possible, so I didn’t succeed, but you can do it.
For some reason, it seems that Seonjo-nim has accumulated a lot of things in him, probably because of his mood.
“…well, it’s enough to lose to Isolet, so can I just threaten it in moderation?”
Of course, beating a person with white hair is quite a sinful thing to do. So, I will try to blackmail you when Kania joins after taking a reasonable amount of time.
“…Yeah, let’s take a look at the information window.”
I sat blankly in my seat and waited for the owner, then I began to cautiously head to the counter, wondering what would happen if I wrote the information window to him.
“Hey, Master. Look at me for a moment.”
“……..”
“Master?”

Eventually, I called the owner in an arrogant voice, and when I didn’t hear any answer, I tilted my head and crossed the counter.
“…Kania, don’t come.”
– yes?
And as soon as I entered the room, I muttered with a disappointed expression on my face.
“It’s no use now.”
In the room, only a pendant and a note were left.
– Order received. Items will be delivered to your home soon.
“…Ohh.”
Thanks to you, I was crying, but as soon as I read the contents of the note, I started to smile.
‘Still, I don’t think it’s worth taking off.’
Although the plan to restore the mask and do good works seems to have gone awry, it is unlikely that it will be an ordinary item as it is an item made from the items the system has given as materials.
Besides, didn’t the owner say that it was several times more fashionable? Although his personality is a bit eccentric, he is a sure person with one skill, so I think it’s good to look forward to it.
“…Well?”
I was smirking with that thought in mind, but when I found a small pendant lying next to the note, I tilted my head.
– Easter Egg
“this?”
While looking at the box with a mysterious expression, I soon found a note attached to the pendant and frowned.
‘…By the way, if it’s an Easter egg, I’ll even give you a legendary weapon. what’s this.’
With that thought in mind, I carefully picked up the pendant and tried to open it.
“profit…”
For some reason it didn’t open.
– Kuwagwang!!!
“…what?”
I thought that my strength had suddenly weakened, so I lightly slammed the desk, but again the desk was shattered.
Judging from that, it seems that my strength is the same, so does this little pendant hold tighter than my strength?
– Phageiying!!!

Even after pulling for a while, the pendant did not open, so I pulled out a sword to sharpen the attack, but it was not the pendant that was broken, but the objects around it.
In the end, shaking my head and putting the box in my arms, I sighed and walked out of the store, turning my attention to the items scattered around the store.
‘…Shall I bring one?’
They were quite useful, so I stretched out my hand without realizing it, and then shook my head and muttered.
‘No, the mask is being held hostage right now… If you don’t give it to me, you’re out of luck.’
After thinking like that, I left the store with a regretful expression on my face.
“…reel?”
When I got out of the store, I found myself opening the door of a shabby building, not the soft wall I had originally entered.
“that’s interesting.”
Surprised, I opened the door of the shabby building again and went inside, but only the ruined space and dust were welcoming me.
After being bruised for a while in such a strange situation, I soon came to my senses and started to look around the crowded streets.
‘Here…’
As you can see, this seems to be a market street with an entrance to a back alley.
The market street that was surrounded by beggars with Isolet the other day.
“Buy vegetables!”
“Buy potatoes! It’s delicious!”
“…Well?”
As I was walking down the street after making that decision, I turned my gaze to the sound I could hear from afar.
“You work hard…”

Eventually, as I quietly observed the cute-looking girl and boy from afar, I smiled at my father without anyone knowing.
“What are they doing now…?”
He quickly hardened his expression and headed somewhere.
I guess I’ll have to help them right now.
.
.
.
.
.
“Buy radish~! Buy green onion~! Buy onion… Kolok! Kolok!!”
“Sister, don’t overdo it. Then you’ll get sick like me.”
As the girl who had been promoting the store began to cough every day, the boy next to her said with a worried expression.
“But… if I could save a little more money, would I be able to cure you?”
“Still, you got gold coins from Ruby-noona last time too! So take it easy!”
When her younger brother spoke with a dazzling light in her eyes, the girl nodded her head and gave a strange expression.
And that was the case with nearby merchants and passersby.
They have already established themselves as street mascots in name and reality.
“What? Do business take a break?”
“…have they lost their minds?”
“”…….!!!””
However, that warm atmosphere did not last long.
“You guys, when are you going to pay the money back?”
“Well, I’ll pay you back soon! Please give me a little more time…”
– Bang!!
“Hey!!”
It was because the bad-looking thugs, who seemed to use quite a bit of power by anyone, started to interfere.
“The rent has already been delayed for several months… How long are you going to say you’re going to pay it back?”
“Boo, please take a look! Please!!”
“No. There is a limit to even looking at it.”
A boy and a girl knelt on the floor and began to pray, but the gangsters ignored them and threw the pile of vegetables on the floor one by one and started trampling them with their feet.
“Oh, no!! What if you trample it like that!!”
“Then who won’t pay the rent?”
“But, you’re not going to make a profit by selling it!! But why the hell…!!”
“Ugh, but this little bastard…”
“Ugh!!”
The boy, who could not stand still watching his precious vegetables being trampled down slowly, rushed to the bully with a weeping cry, but soon he was kicked by the bully and fell to the floor without a hitch.
“Keheuk… uh…”
“Please!! Please forgive me!! If I don’t get treatment within this year, my brother is in danger!!”
“That’s none of our business.”
When the boy fell to the floor and grabbed his heart with a painful expression, his older sister embraced the boy and shouted, but the bully only responded with a cold expression.
“Well, I’ll do anything! Please only look at me this month!!”
“…anything?”
But when the girl closed her eyes and spoke, the bully, who was about to kick the boy again, smiled and began whispering to a fellow sitting next to him.
“Well then, kid… All you have to do is sign here.”
“Cheap, is it your autograph…?”
After discussing it for a while, the bully took out a piece of paper from his pocket and began to persuade him.
“Yeah, if you write your name on the paper you see here… I’ll close your eyes for a month.”
“Gee, can I really just do that?”
It was a suspicious contract by anyone looking at it, and even a ghastly magic circle was drawn, but the girl who could not read began to reach out to the man’s pen with a suspicious expression on her face.
“”……..””
And the merchants and passersby who were watching the scene were just silent.
This poor market alley was stronger than the law.
Besides, there was a strong support behind the bullies, and in fact, even the law was on their side.
Among those who lacked both law and power, there was no hero who could not stand injustice.
Because all of these warriors died or were taken to prison, so even if they wanted to, they couldn’t.
“Okay, right there…”
So, the moment when another poor flower is about to die.
– Clang!!
“…awesome!!”
A bottle of wine flew out of nowhere and hit the bully’s bald head.
“What a crazy bastard…!!!”
Thanks to this, the bully, who had been staggering while grabbing his head, quickly jumped and started staring back.
“Uhhh… Now, did you curse at me?”
“…heh!!”
After confirming the person who threw the bottle at him, he immediately stiffened with a shocked expression.
“Ah, hello! Frey-nim!!”
“Ah… the head.”
When the bald bully’s colleague grabbed his head and hurriedly slammed him to the floor to greet him, Frey, who was staggeringly drunk, opened his mouth with an annoyed expression on his face.
“Why are people blocking the road…?”
“Well, it’s… ‘work’ in progress. Hehe.”
“work…?”
“Yes, yes… you don’t know Frey-sama. This place belongs to Count Justiano.”
“Aha… the emperor of that back alley…”
Frey, who quietly nodded as the bullies spoke in a cold sweat, grabbed the contract that was on the ground and began to read it.
“…By the way, little Justiano, you’ve also reached out to the slave market this time around.”
Frey, who suddenly muttered coldly without knowing it, said with an expression on his face that quickly opened his eyes.
“Okay, then…”
“Yeah! Take a look!”
“…go away.”
“yes?”
“Turn it off.”
When the thugs made a ridiculous expression at that, Frey picked up the bottle from the ground and shouted again.
“Turn it off oh oh oh cubs!!!!”
“Yes, yes! I see!!”
Frey’s drinking was so popular in the Empire that no one knew about it, so the terrified thugs quickly ran away from the streets, muttering.
“Ah, I could have gotten an extra pay.”
“Can’t we just kidnap him? I’m dying of trouble.”
“I don’t know… I’m kidnapped and sold at a higher price than by force or something.”
The thugs who had been murmuring like that soon moved away from the street, and Frey, who looked at them with a cold gaze, began to approach the girl who was looking at him with fear.
“Go, thank you…”
“Shut up.”
Frey, who finally arrived in front of the girl, stopped talking to the girl as she was about to say thanks and grabbed her arm.
“You look pretty.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Follow.”
With that said, Frey tried to drag the girl away, but the boy who was lying on the floor hurriedly stopped him and said:
“Nu, let my sister go!”
“…why me?”
“Hey, I’ll give you this! So please…!”
Saying that, the boy handed Frey a gold coin he had only had once in his life.
It was the same gold coin that Ruby gave me a few days ago.
“What… huh?”
Frey, who unintentionally received the gold coin, snorted and tried to throw the gold coin to the ground.
“What is this…”
Soon, his expression hardened and he began to mumble.
“I, please… Please… Colok! Colloc!!”
Frey, who had been looking at the coin for so long, spoke in a low voice as the boy grabbed his crotch and began to beg.
“Then, will you follow me?”
“yes?”
“Follow me, you too.”
After finishing those words, Frey, who was dragging the girl who was holding her arm somewhere, murmured, quietly flowing star mana into her hand.
“…who did this?”
The mana of the star that came out of his hand reacted to the gold coin the boy had just offered, and it was emitting ruby-colored smoke.
.
.
.
.
.
“…ha.”
Meanwhile, at that time.
“Ruby! Are you okay? Have you ever vomited blood again?”
“What should I do… Seeing Ruby in so much pain, it must have been a serious illness…”
“Ruby noona… you must not die…”
Ruby, who was lying in bed and surrounded by people, began to make a very troubled expression.
“It’s fine. I’m fine…”
“Hold on a little longer!! We’ve saved up a little bit of money and called the saint of the church!! He’ll probably come in a few days!!”
“Oh, you don’t have to!”
At first, Ruby was consistent with a pretentious smile, but when people talked about the saint with worried eyes, she waved her arms with a genuinely bewildered expression.
“Look at that… he’s rather worried about us…”
“Sun God… Why do you give such a good child a trial…”
“Ruby noona is so kind that she’s wearing a mask…”
But when people didn’t listen to Ruby’s words, she quietly whispered, grinding her teeth without anyone knowing.
“…what did you do?”
But nothing happened, Ruby said in a cold voice.
“There’s also a help function… you’re supposed to be obligated to answer?”
Then, a system window appeared in front of her.
[There is also ‘luck’ in the stats that have been drastically reduced due to the penalty of failing the last quest.]
“…under.”
[And if not, it’s all your karma.]
After seeing the contents, Ruby burst into laughter with an exasperated expression on her face.
“……..”
And from a little distance away, Glare was staring at her quietly.
When Fray is drunk he becomes the Trash of the Duke Family.
