-The girl stared blankly at the fountain.
A fountain with water gushing out powerfully.
The fountain, a landmark of the plaza in the southern street and open to all regardless of social status, was splendidly decorated with a generous amount of jewels, gold, and marble.
Also, there is a risk of theft as such precious metals and other valuables are being used so sparingly, so guards are always on duty guarding the fountain in shifts.
In fact, there is no area as safe as this central square, and there is absolutely no one who causes unnecessary trouble.
Maybe that’s why.
“… … It’s quiet.”
A great place to enjoy some alone time and contemplation.
Since there are no unnecessary disputes and no troublemakers, you can just sit there and feel at ease.
…so much so that I want to stay here forever.
‘Huh, that can’t be possible.’
Unfortunately, if you stay too long, you may attract the attention of the security guards.
Honey, it’s not a wise decision to stay here for too long.
The girl, with her elegance and grace reminiscent of a lush blue hydrangea, stood up from her seat and walked away.
“…oh.”
And every time the girl passed by, the guards’ eyes turned to her, and it wasn’t because she was suspicious.
Simply because she’s pretty.
“That kid is pretty.”
“I’ve never seen a kid like that before. Was there a kid like that on this street?”
“I’ve never seen anyone prettier than the flower shop girl….”
“Didn’t you say the same thing when you fell in love with the bakery girl?”
“Love is originally like a reed.”
“You crazy bastard. What you’re doing isn’t love, it’s just lust, Inma.”
The guard unit has an extremely high proportion of young, energetic young men.
Although it is not right to do security work carelessly, you cannot stop your eyes from turning.
In other words, it is natural for hot-blooded men to be attracted to pretty women.
“Looking at your attire, you look like a commoner… Hey, watch my seat for a moment.”
“You crazy bastard. Where are you going without guarding?”
“What are you talking about? I’m just going to take a quick look at the ‘suspicious person.’ This is also a mission.”
“… If you do something useless, it won’t end with a report. Don’t you know that the atmosphere in the capital is tense right now?”
“I told you it was okay.”
I don’t know if ignorance is a virtue, or if my brain is dominated by my groin area, but one of the male guards approached the girl without hesitation.
They cornered me as a guard and made me make a statement.
So the guard-.
Toouk.
“Hey, bro. You shouldn’t be cutting in line. I have something to do over there first.”
“You, what… .”
For a moment, the male guard kept his mouth shut.
He immediately frowned when a stranger, who he didn’t know when, came up to him and put his arm around his shoulder, but when he confirmed who he was, his spine tingled.
It was big.
The man was incredibly large.
A sturdy body that is three times the size of an average adult male.
However, the reason the guards were overwhelmed was not simply because the opponent was so huge.
‘What, what is this kid doing!? What’s with his eyes…?’
The eyes are scary.
Even the most determined security guards would feel cold-hearted when they encounter even the most serious criminals.
The guard froze like a rat before a snake before the murderous gaze that did not see people as people, but as meat hanging on a butcher’s shop.
“Brother, go quietly. Be quiet.”
“A, you dare threaten the guards… , Hey, even if you lose your fear, how dare you…!”
Still, there is such a thing as pride in the guards.
Even though the opponent was scary, he trusted the name of the guards, and he thought the threat would be effective.
“Your brother has a higher status than Mark?”
“……what?”
“I’m talking about your boss. He has a pair of eyes and a penchant for bars. But despite his looks, I think he’s the captain of the guard.”
“!!!”
“By the way, what’s your name, hyung? I never thought I’d see such a spirited guy among Mark’s subordinates. I’ll have to tell you his name later. You have such a great subordinate under you, haha.”
“… … .”
He did not dare to say anything in response to the giant who called his superior’s name as high as the sky without hesitation.
You might think it’s a lie, but surprisingly, the captain’s one-eyedness was a secret known only to those in the know.
Because I always wear glasses.
That’s why I couldn’t just take those words as a lie, and the male guard just…
“… Sorry, I’m sorry.”
All he could do was quietly bow his head and step back.
The giant smiled with satisfaction.
* * *
The girl, or rather Levy, approached me and gave me a look of contempt at the giant who smiled at her with an unbecoming kindness.
Could it be that he was spying on himself?
The chill passed for a moment, but Levy opened his mouth with a calm expression, trying hard to hide his feelings.
“… What happened up to this point? The promised date is still far away.”
“It’s nothing. I just came to escort the young lady. I don’t want to get involved with strange things like that idiot earlier. The young lady is a precious ‘product’.”
“… … .”
“Ah, my tongue slipped. I’m such a lowly person that I made a bad choice of words! Oh, my mouth is the cause of trouble.”
“…Just go. It’s not a problem to save my body.”
Although a feeling of discomfort ran through his body, Levy held on.
However, the giant is so sincere about Levi’s patience… .
“That can’t be. How would I know when the young lady would run away?”
“!!”
Trampled mercilessly.
“… You’d better watch your words. I made a promise. I gave up everything to keep it. So you’re saying you won’t trust my promise?”
Even though he is in such a disadvantaged position, Levy is a nobleman.
And a noble’s promise must have weight and trust.
For Levy, who took pride in the name of the Fault family, such suspicion itself came as a great insult.
however.
“Do you think I’ve ever experienced the honor of that nobleman? What honor, nothing but a bunch of rascals who just keep spouting lies! And why should I trust you, young lady? You have nothing but a shred of it.”
“… … .”
The opponent hurled even louder insults, and Levy’s hand was already on his rapier.
As if ready to pull out at any moment.
But the giant snorted.
“I know you’re quite sharp for your age, but you can’t do anything to me. Put that knife away. You don’t want to lose an arm or a leg for no reason.”
“If I were to endure such humiliation and just sit back, I would rather be willing to accept becoming disabled.”
“… Those eyes are sincere.”
Ugh.
Only then did Geohan realize that, unlike the nobles he usually dealt with, the girl had a rather honest personality and he began to taste it.
I got into a pointless argument and ended up drawing blood, sorry.
‘She’s a boring knight. What should I do? I really can’t even focus on one thing.’
Again, girls are a precious commodity.
If you dare to hurt this… .
‘I’m going to get scolded for nothing by the union leader.’
That was a specification, and the giant changed direction, trying to appease him verbally.
There must be a way to make this noble young lady obedient.
“-If you don’t listen to us obediently, we’ll have no choice but to harass your younger sister or wife. How. Do you want that to happen?”
“you…!”
“So listen to me. Don’t bother me unnecessarily.”
The best way to deal with noble people is to become a gangster.
If you touch your family, friends, or lovers, nine times out of ten, they become docile.
As expected.
“… Don’t make unnecessary threats. I will cooperate.”
“Haha, that was bound to happen a long time ago.”
The giant was satisfied but also amazed.
Even if they are family, why are they able to sacrifice everything with such utmost sincerity when their personal lives are at stake?
‘If I were you, I would sell everything, including my family. Anyway, I’m full, so that’s why I’m like this.’
If you lived such a hard life, you would have realized that your family and lover were all useless.
Looking at it this way, even the noble young lady is pitiful.
‘No. In this case, maybe I just met the wrong father?’
Unlike this noble girl, the father sells his daughter.
Selling away the talent that would one day become a knight under the pretext of protecting the family…
It’s so funny and so funny.
Looking at this, I think it’s like saying that a tiger is born under a puppy dog.
‘Wow, my mouth is watering.’
Geohan liked this kind of woman.
A filial daughter with unsullied purity and nobility.
And isn’t she a noble young lady that even a commoner like me wouldn’t dare aim for?
‘It’s so pretty.’
The giant was seething with desire.
Although she is a girl wearing old clothes to hide her identity, she exudes an air of elegance and beauty that cannot be hidden.
It is still young and its beauty has not fully bloomed, but even if it has not bloomed, a flower is still a flower.
It’s worth breaking.
‘We’ll have to stick together for a while anyway… How about you take good care of me in the meantime?’
I’ve already figured out the girl’s weakness.
If you keep nagging at your family, they might even push you out of bed.
Anyway, the union leader only told us to protect him until the time came, and he didn’t say anything about leaving him alone.
So, the giant.
‘Just a little bit… .’
I was going to start by lightly placing my arm on the girl’s shoulder.
“-Don’t take that as meaning that you won’t need that arm in your life from now on.”
Splash!
However, Geohan had to know what kind of misfortune, or rather, ‘disaster’, would result from giving priority to uncontrollable desires.
… though it may only be a belated realization.
“Kuaaaah…!”
“Stop barking, you little punk.”
-I’m going to die.
Kwajik!
The giant’s mouth, which had been screaming, had to be forcibly shut by a vicious hand.
“—–!”
The giant wanted to writh in pain and struggle, but he felt something from the hand covering his mouth…!
I was experiencing the terrible experience of my entire body being crushed by the powerful pressure emanating from the ‘force’ itself.
However, it seems like the experience is just beginning.
Kkwadk, kkwadk…!
“!?!!!”
The body was folding in a direction it should never have folded.
An ominous cracking sound coming from the spine.
As the ‘fear’ of no return crept in, the giant showed desperate resistance.
Because people sometimes display superhuman strength when they are at a crossroads in their lives.
But unfortunately for the giant.
“Are you using your strength just now? … It’s a waste of size.”
The first misfortune for the giant was that his opponent had experienced a real superhuman, and that this kind of resistance was not even a problem.
Kuung!
He, Lee Han, kept hitting the giant on the ground with his gaze as cold as ice.
Continuing like playing tag.
However, there was a moment when the stick was released from the hand, but the giant had to keep hitting the ground without letting go of the stick.
Once, twice-.
Kwajijijik!
… … ten times.
Even after being stabbed exactly ten times, Geohan was unable to escape Leehan’s grasp, and even if he did escape,
Gulp… .
It didn’t make any sense.
The giant’s condition is already like a well-cooked piece of meat.
Because it no longer looked human.
It was terrible, it was disastrous… .
“… Ugh… Ugh…”
But the giant did not die.
It wasn’t intentional that I didn’t kill him, but rather that when he woke up, I would teach him what it meant to be easier to die.
This was the second misfortune for the gangster who had now become a piece of meat.
“…Tsk, only my clothes got dirty.”
Lee Han looked displeased as he shook off his blood-stained clothes.
As if it were disgusting to even touch such a thug who wasn’t worth touching.
“Instructor, instructor…”
Levi Fault appeared before his eyes and looked pitifully at his master who had been defeated.
Just 5 days.
I don’t know why I’m so happy and miss my teacher even though I haven’t seen him in five days.
As Levi felt a torrent of indescribable, complex emotions, he tried to come up with some excuse… .
“Runaway ninja, no, disciple, let’s interview you later.”
“…yes?”
“I’m a little excited right now?”
“… … .”
It seems so.
It was the first time I had ever seen a teacher so excited, or rather, so ‘angry’.
A state where one is afraid to even dare to speak.
And that’s him.
“This punk belongs to a guild?”
“…Why are you asking that?”
“That’s right, you’re a guild member. Let’s go.”
“Now, just a moment…!”
I desperately tried to grab the instructor, but he just kept dragging me along and wouldn’t stop.
Levi thought with a sad look on his face.
‘… Ah, that won’t work…!’
It was a joke.
One of the bad slang words I learned while hanging out with Lee Han.
It was only recently that Levi realized the significance of those words.
… …Unfortunately.
