32 – Get permission to work side-by-side!(3)
The butcher couldn’t stand it anymore and got angry.
“If you don’t want to live, go back! I’ve never seen a beggar beg like this!”
The red-haired woman had an expression of complete incomprehension.
“That’s strange. Three right.”
Ael, who couldn’t stand the woman who kept counting fairy tales, stepped forward.
“Hey, hey…”
“Yes?”
“Do you have any silver money other than brown?”
“Here it is.”
The woman pulled out some silver coins from her pocket and showed them.
“This is a silver coin. Brown money is a copper coin. Ten coins make one silver coin.”
“Is that so?”
After hearing Ael’s explanation, the woman finally understood the whole situation and turned to the butcher.
“Is this correct?”
“You don’t know how to tell money?”
“I don’t know the details. I didn’t know what silver coins and copper coins were.”
Ael intervened from the side.
“Looking at her hair, she must have come from far away, not from here.”
At those words, the butcher’s man lowered his spirits a little and cleared his throat.
With Ael’s help, the woman paid the price and bought two of her pig’s hind legs.
“Where can I get it? It costs two more fairy tales if I deliver it by cart.”
The old man asked, and the woman shook her head.
“Just give me.”
“You’re carrying this?”
However, the woman responded with actions instead of words.
The woman grabbed each of her pig’s ankles with her two hands and draped them over both her shoulders.
It’s not that the pig’s hind legs are too heavy for a person to lift, but it’s a rare sight to see a woman lift like that.
She also seemed to have not drained her blood properly, so the blood that flowed from her hind legs began to soak the woman’s shoulders.
All the eyes of the merchants and passers-by around her were drawn to her with her fresh appearance.
The woman looked down at Ael, with a pig’s back leg slung over her shoulder, she said.
“Thank you, short woman. I wouldn’t have bought anything without you and she would have just left.”
“Ah, yes… Short… hehehe…”
The woman lowered her head slightly, then turned and walked away from her.
Only after the woman had gone far enough did Ael let out a long sigh of relief.
Haa… I was really surprised….
Why is it wandering around here?
That’s also buying things with money?
What the hell is this….
“Ael, what are you looking for?”
The butcher asked Ael who was looking at the woman from a distance.
“Ah, yes. There that…”
Stopping her words, Ael turned her head back towards her woman.
Now the woman has completely disappeared from the crowds of her market.
“Mister. Do you know about that woman?”
“Well? I’m not sure. I’m seeing someone for the first time today. It’s not common to see them like that.”
“I see…”
Ael couldn’t shake the feeling, but he thought that he didn’t have to worry so much about it.
* * * * *
“Have you thought about the menu? Are you going to go for samgyeopsal as it is?”
After work, Einer asked while we were facing each other and having dinner.
“Yes, sir. I’d like to try that for now. Instead, change the menu on a weekly basis.”
Ael explained the plan she had conceived, and Eyner nodded her head as she listened in silence.
“It’s okay. It’s not bad to stick to a single menu instead. If you don’t do that when you’re alone, like during lunch on weekdays, you might not be able to handle the customers.”
“You have to come that many times.”
“Ha, of course it will. How curious would you be if it was an unfamiliar eastern cuisine prepared by a cute and lovable demonic chef?”
“Huh? What kind of cook are you?”
“Cute and lovable Demon Chef. You’re not wrong, are you?”
Ael quickly pinched her own cheek.
The excruciating pain didn’t seem to be a dream.
So you’re saying my master really called me cute and lovely?
Uh, why… ?
I am a pig-like slave who is stupid, dull, and only gets fat and sweats profusely….
Maybe he’s a kind master, so he’s saying something with a mouthful to make me listen.
Hey… Nice to hear though
“What do you think?”
“Eek?! You don’t think anything?!”
“Okay? Then go open the door.”
“Yes?”
As Ael tilted his head, he heard a knock on the door outside.
“Captain! Are you there?”
As Ael rushed to open her door, Toby asked Ael, looking over her head.
“Ael! Is the captain there?”
“I’m eating.”
As Einer answered leisurely in the kitchen, Toby shouted.
“Chief. It’s an emergency call!”
“What’s going on?”
“Murder!”
Murder cases were common in Daham.
However, Einer had a hunch that this was not an ordinary case.
Einer, who jumped up to this floor, came back armed in an instant.
“Ael. I’ll be back. Lock the door well and don’t let anyone open the door.”
“Yes, Master!”
“If it’s dangerous…”
“I will open my body. Don’t worry and come back!”
“Yes.”
As if he was proud of it, Einor gave Ael a light smile while gently stroking Ael’s cheek.
“Let’s go, Toby.”
“Take care of yourself, both of you!”
Ael, who had followed the hill to the front, bent her waist so that her forehead touched her ground.
When the two people running down there disappeared, Ael quickly entered the house and closed the door.
After bolting the front door, Ael busily went to and from the living room, closing all of her windows and latching them.
With the curtains closed so that no one could see inside from the outside, Ael went upstairs carrying the cantavera potted plant by the window.
“Here’s a minute.”
Ael, who had placed Cantavera by the window of his room, went around from room to room, locked the windows, and bolted all the doors leading to the rooftop on the second floor.
If you do this, no one will come in.
If you happen to come in, then you can open your body.
When his right hand was slightly opened, black claws larger than a sword were revealed along with shiny scales like obsidian.
No matter how hornless you are, you should be able to keep one or two humans from walking.
Returning his hand back to its original position, Ael sat down at the table and resumed the dinner he had interrupted.
No matter how many murders happen and even if the owner called for an emergency, you still have to eat what you ate.

Ael, who finished eating his own plate, pondered for a moment before bringing your plate to the front as well.
It’s all cold anyway, so when the master comes back, he’ll have to do it again. Hi-Hi.
* * * * *
While Ael was eating wagyu, Einer and Toby ran across the central market, which was brightly lit even in the evening, and ran to the port security team.
“Hey, Einer!”
The other leader Dynave, who was running from the other side, pretended to know Einer.
“Do you know what’s going on?”
“It’s said to be a murder case, but I don’t know the details. I also came after hearing a summons from Toby.”
“Then why didn’t the bell tower ring and the messenger was sent?”
“Isn’t it urgent enough that everyone needs to gather together, but not so important that the bell tower is ringing and the citizens are agitated?”
When you put your own guess there, Dynav shook his head in agreement.
“Let’s go in quickly. If we’re late, the dwarf captain will go wild again.”
With the authorities arriving late, they passed through the main gate and headed for the torch-lit parade ground of the security forces.
Already there, all the members living in the barracks were armed.
“Captain!”
Einer’s crew waved their hands between them.
“All the foremen, please come to the situation room!”
“See you later.”
The situation room was crowded with security chief Hadun, each section chief, and the chiefs.
“Hey, Einer. Look at that.”
Dynab pointed to the side of the security chief.
Isn’t it surprising that the head of the Port Authority is sitting there?
“What’s wrong with a high-ranking person who doesn’t even poke his nose for a while?”
“This must mean that this case is that serious.”
“Shut up and fasten your butt!”
When the situation room was cluttered in the yard where the commissioner came out, Hadoon squealed.
When the captain got angry, each section manager started running around as if his tail was on fire and seated the chiefs in random chairs.
After confirming that everyone had found a seat and sat down, Hadoon climbed onto a chair and shouted.
“You’re all here! Raise your hands, you bastard! Well, you’re all here.”
When Hadun turned around, the head of the management office nodded.
Hadun put a thick hand on the handle of the iron club and said while stroking his beard.
“Everyone knows about the massacre of travelers on the outskirts of the city, right?”
Answers that they knew came from here and there.
“Another murder just happened. This time around the outskirts.”
A leader raised his hand.
“Is this another genocide?”
“Eight.”
Moans flowed from among the captains.
“Is there a connection between the two events?”
“If there is no connection, would I dare to call you guys face to face as soon as I eat dinner!”
As Hadun shouted outside, two small carts covered with white cloth came inside side by side.
Einer, who saw pale feet protruding from the end of the cloth, knew that what was carried over there was a corpse from the crime scene.
Having jumped off his chair, Hadoon entered between the carts and picked up the cloth with both hands.
“Ugh…”
The foreman frowned at the absurd condition of the corpse.
Slashed to the extent that bones could be seen and crushed beyond recognition….
It was a gruesome scar from the even use of blunt weapons such as clubs and knives.
“What the hell did I do to become like that?”
Dynave muttered, stretching his neck.
“It certainly looks serious. No sane person would go so far as to persist in kneading a person.”
“That’s right. In the outskirts of the city, there’s no way they would have committed serial killings out of a grudge because they were both travelers and merchants.”
By the way, what is a serial murder case and why did the commissioner come out himself?
“Did everyone enjoy it?”
Hadoon stood with his arms crossed in the middle of the corpses, declared.
“We have to catch the culprits and cut them off within two days.”
At that, Dynav raised his hand.
“Why within two days? Any special reason?”
“The anti-siege map visit team is coming in two days.”
Aha, that was it.
Such an unsavory thing shouldn’t happen when it’s not enough to shine and shine and wait.
That’s why the commissioner came out and appealed to the seriousness of the matter.
This is so…. It’s fixed for two nights.
