186 – The story of how I first met the man -1-
When I first fell into this world.
I raised my middle finger towards the god that surely existed somewhere.
-Does this make sense….
I lived honestly, I lived diligently as an orphan abandoned by my parents, but I was struck in the back of the head by god.
To treat an angel who had been making donations despite being poor in this way wasn’t something that god, the author, should do, so I reverently cursed at god.
-Does it make sense, you beggar…. You son of a b****…
If you were going to possess me anyway, you should have possessed the main character or a rich person, but how could I be in a good mood when I was possessed by a beggar in a slum?
After a short period of wandering.
I began to blend into the life of the slums. Cursing at god didn’t change anything, and I didn’t know why I had been possessed, but it was funny to curse without reason, you know.
I guess I had no choice but to accept it.
The life in the slums that began like that wasn’t as difficult as I thought. The dark and difficult life in the slums was more interesting than I thought.
-Hey, newbie!
-You’re speaking informally?
-You have to greet your seniors when you see them.
-Ah…. You’re brief.
‘Bam!’
If I didn’t like it, I fought.
If I was provoked, I fought.
If I thought I would lose due to the difference in weight class, I fought with a weapon.

It was no different from the orphanage in my previous life. The orphanage was also a cold world where the strong survived.
Of course, there were hobos instead of teachers who would stop bigger fights, and there were events where you could be sold as a slave if you let your guard down, but the fact that I was alone wasn’t much different in my previous life or this life.
That’s why my personality was foul.
And I fought often.
I didn’t think they were young.
I knew well the ruthlessness of children who would crawl up if you showed them the orphan gruel I had built up in my previous life, so I treated some of them coldly. Furthermore, my personality at that time wasn’t as good as it is now, so I would flare up easily.
-I was wrong.
-I don’t know. If that’s your true heart.
-I said I was wrong!
-I said I don’t know.
A reasonable defeat from a fist could also become good advice in the lives of children.
-I won’t bother you again.
-Okay.
Perhaps the elite course I had gradually stepped on in the orphanage had helped me, but when I came to my senses, I had become the king of the alleyway.
Of course, I had been hit a lot too.
There were many limits to winning against adult gangsters with the body of a child.
The bakery owner.
The gangsters who came to collect protection money.
A dirty-minded aristocrat.
He had been hit by countless people.
The reason why he could become the king of the alley was probably because of his tenacity to return everything he had been through, tenfold.
He watched the gangsters, but that didn’t mean they didn’t watch me.
He had suspiciously excellent business skills.
-This month’s payment.
-Are you seriously not going to work under us?
-F**k off.
The cruelty that made him return everything he had been through, tenfold.
-Hey, snake eyes.
-Snake eyes? That crazy bastard is that little kid?
-Yeah.
Since I had grown up to be someone who was hard to approach, not many people bothered me.
I was more resourceful than other children.
-Pretty miss!
-Oh? Are you talking to me?
-Yes! Can you give me some money, pretty miss?
-You’re cute.
Since I had a career as a beggar in my previous life, I was able to show the children the possibilities of the beggar profession as a perfect beggar who didn’t know shame, and I was able to become the material landlord of the children with a discriminatory begging method.
-This is how you beg.
That’s why I had a lot of children following me.
There were children who hated me, but I took care of those children and lived hard.
I had met various people.
A kid who will be a villain in the novel.
An aristocrat who kicked the beggar’s bowl with his foot, saying it was dirty.
I could see the protagonist of the novel, who came out on the street holding his father’s hand.
-Dad!
-Why, Yuri?
-Is the capital this shiny?
-It’s been a long time since I’ve been here too, so I don’t know. Hold my hand tightly.
-Yes!
It was amazing.
I also felt the thought that ‘I’ve really possessed someone’ and a grand feeling that I had become something.
The status window that appeared before my eyes.
The ability to see people’s favorability.
And the feeling of actually seeing the people who appear in the novel. Everything was new and colorful because it was the first time.
I think the most memorable person among them is the lady.
I never thought I’d meet the person I wanted to avoid the most on the street.
The day I first met the lady was one of the most ordinary days.
A day when the gentle everyday life of begging and stealing bread was blowing.
I saw the lady in a fancy dress for the first time.
-Oh my, what a pain~!
The noble lady in a fancy dress, Lady Olivia, walked up to me, mumbling to herself about missing democratic society.
I wonder how scared I looked when I first saw the lady’s favorability window. The lady didn’t know.

The interests of the villainess who always carried more than 10 escorts with her were more villainous than any other kid I had ever seen.
The lady kicked my begging bowl with her foot and shouted.
-Shut up! Beggar!
-What are you.
Of course, I wasn’t going to back down since I had nothing to lose back then. I just went all out since I thought it was a one-time thing anyway.
-Brat? Did you just call me a brat?
-Well, who else is there.
-Thiiisss biittcchh!!!
I was the victor.
The street-honed guts and brawling experience from my past life made me win.
It wasn’t easy fighting the lady who had pulled the hair of countless nobles in the social world, but I managed to win.
The lady, who had become a dust bunny, glared at me, wiping the dust off the corner of her mouth.
With an expression like she had been wronged.
-You, I’m going to kill you.
-Go suck on your mommy’s milk.
-You suck on it!
-I don’t have a mom.
-Wha…. Then…! I’ll give you money, so go buy some!
That’s how I became acquainted with the lady.
It wasn’t a normal encounter.
We became close after a fight, we’re not idiots. However, Olivia and I became close in this idiotic way.
-Are you here again today?
-Yeah! I’m going to beat the crap out of you today.
-Tch.
The villainess who visits me every day.
And me, who’s annoyed by her.
-You damn dog!
-Dog~
-Don’t copy me!
-Don’t copy me~
-Stooo… hic…
-Don’t cry. I’m sorry.
I must have been out of my mind. A high-ranking noblewoman fighting with a commoner was an offense punishable by immediate execution. You know?
If the lady hadn’t told the knights who came to stop us, “Don’t touch that boy! I’ll kill you if you do!” I might have ended up a cold corpse on the street.
Anyway. That’s how we became close.
-Hey, punk!
-What.
-What is that? It’s different from the other examples.
-Limited edition begging bowl.
-Oh… Give it to me.
-No. What would you do with it?
-Give it to me!
-No.
The lady had once sat next to me, intrigued, learning how to beg.
-What are you doing?
-Begging.
-Why?
-I thought it would be fun.
I often laughed at the sight of the lady with her chubby cheeks, sitting on the floor and holding out the begging bowl to the knights.
-Put something in!
-…
-I said, put something in!
Thinking about it now, I realized that being the lady’s guard wasn’t an easy job. It must have been hard to deal with a lady who did all sorts of crazy things just because she thought they would be fun.
That’s why she would slip me some money on the side.
-Today’s river shot.
-Yes?
-Today, here… Please hit me on the side. Her Ladyship wants to do one more today.
-hahahahaha…
The lady was my main source of income.
The naive lady would come to me, hand me 10 gold coins to give to the knight, and I would talk to her, keeping her company.
Whatever, the lady was also my benefactor.
-You’re really good at fighting.
-I know.
-Who taught you?
-I taught myself.
-Oh… Why did you learn?
-I had to become strong to survive.
I said something like, “You’re a delicate flower who wouldn’t understand,” to the lady, but she took it surprisingly well.
-Because you’re a beggar.
-You little…
-Ouch! Why did you hit me! It’s true!
-No, it’s not. Today, I’m going to teach you judo.
-Yiiiik!
The villainess was more foolish than I thought.
Naive and stupid.
Of course, she had the same easygoing personality that made me want to have her, but the young lady I was watching and observing was changing into someone I thought was ‘better than expected.’
Our friendship grew.
Around the time I started looking forward to meeting her,
A change came.
It was a rainy day.
A rainy day that was perfect for tracking.
I grumbled as I avoided the rain under a bridge while waiting for the young lady who hadn’t come, and I saw a familiar boy.
