The legendary captain
“······Are you going to wear this under your dress?”
“huh.”
Blossom’s heart sank at Nova’s firm answer.
‘A heart protector with a revealing dress?’
I wanted to stop him, but Nova’s expression was firm. With that expression on her face, Nova would never back down.
Blossom really didn’t like the weird lump of metal Nova was wearing under her dress.
Even the cheap, dull color seemed to kill the bright dress.
‘I thought Nova was finally going to meet a man.’
Blossom looked Nova up and down. It was a shame that she had no breasts, but the graceful curves extending from her waist more than made up for that shortcoming.
The problem is···.
“Would you please relax your eyes a bit?”
It was a fierce gaze that seemed ready to tear apart the opponent.
“You’re not giving it any strength?”
“Imagine opening your eyes slightly dimly and relax your strength.”
“······like this?”
As Nova narrowed her eyes, her face became like that of an assassin aiming for the nape of her opponent’s neck.
Blossom sighed deeply and shook her head.
He had a gentle appearance when he was young, but perhaps because of the difficult life he lived as an introvert, his eyes became very sharp.
Those who knew Nova weren’t that scared of him because they knew he was different on the inside.
Blossom knew that Nova was always trying to get money to the residents, no matter how ticklish and annoying it was.
‘I say it’s embezzlement, but···.’
There were more than a few people who received help, including Blossom. However, it was taboo to mention him in front of Nova.
“Is it weird? Are my eyes weird?”
Blossom desperately held back her laughter at the sight of Nova asking seriously, holding the corner of her eye.
It seems like we’ve been seeing a lot of new looks from Nova lately.
“No. It’s beautiful.”
“What the heck, you rascal. I have nothing to give you anyway.”
Nova returned with his usual irritated expression, but Blossom smiled and tied the string tightly. Perhaps because he was always indoors, his snow-white skin naturally drew admiration.
“Who is the opponent? Why does Nova care so much about him?”
“It’s just political. He’s someone I have to keep as a secretary, so there’s nothing I can do.”
Although his expression was cold, Blossom smiled slightly at the sight of the corners of his lips going up.
“Is the other person a noble?”
“Pfft… He’s a noble. No, was he a noble?”
Blossom was a little surprised, since Nova hadn’t smiled since her mother passed away, but she didn’t show it.
“Wow, Nova, why is your waist so thin?”
“Why? Too thin? Did I eat too little?”
“No. It’s pretty.”
It was surprising to see Nova’s appearance, which was completely different from his usual confident and upright appearance.
Finally, Blossom, who had finished checking her outfit, opened her mouth.
“I’ll teach you some moves that will work on guys.”
“No. I already know one.”
Blossom felt strangely uneasy at Nova’s smile.
Nova, who had studied hard to learn to read and write when he was young and buried himself in work after learning to read and write, had no way of knowing.
“···What is it?”
“Look carefully.”
Kkung-kkung-.
Nova, smiling confidently, began tapping the lump of iron with the back of her hand.
A brisk sound.
Blossom had to chew her tongue to control her expression as she watched Nova gently shake her body and knock.
‘······I’m screwed.’
She wears an iron guard inside her dress and even plays it by tapping it…
No matter how beautiful and smart Nova is.
There was no way any man would like that.
But Nova smiled so confidently that Blossom could only laugh.
‘It sounds good.’
Blossom secretly mourned Nova.
***
‘It’s really big.’
I looked around the hall and let out a sigh.
The new pub was two to three times larger than the original Hannah pub, a size that befitted Hannah’s ambition to build the largest pub in Cassadic.
‘There must be a few in the city.’
Even if you had the money, it wouldn’t be easy to build something of this scale, but the podium was exceptional.
“Ahem… You want me to sit here? This seat is too uncomfortable.”
The captain muttered in an embarrassed voice next to him.
The captain came a long time before the end of his shift.
I had the captain sit on a chair that had been prepared separately in the center.
The captain looked satisfied, as if he thought of him as a superior.
“You’ve already prepared this much food.”
The captain wrinkled his nose as he ate the food displayed in front of him.
“Even though I cause a lot of accidents, the only one who truly acknowledges me is our Team Leader Aaron. All the others are trash! Trash!”
The captain, with sauce on his lips, smiled happily and gave a thumbs up. I also gave a thumbs up to the perfect pig.
“Brother, the kids are ready.”
A weasel reported that his eyes were sharper than usual.
“The kids are sick…. Come and eat as you please. If they cause an accident….”
“Yep! Got it! Brother!”
The weasel nodded vigorously at my words and took a step back.
I took a quick look around the inside of the bar. Like other bars, it had a rough design, but there were annoying things everywhere.
There were many stone statues the size of a person’s forearm, most of which were me or Deokgu. If not, it was Kanna, who was strangely tall.
Since Kanna’s skills had improved by leaps and bounds while taking pictures of castle walls and stone statues, the exhibit looked quite impressive when viewed from a distance.
Yes, I could compromise and go that far. I knew all too well about Kanna’s strange attachment to statues.
‘No matter what, that’s a bit off.’
I couldn’t help but frown at the monstrous object hanging from the ceiling.
Numerous stone statues were placed on round iron platforms, holding candles like swords.
At first glance, it seemed like a masterpiece, but I, as the person involved, couldn’t just admire it.
‘······Why are you making it better and better?’
I looked at him for a moment, then shook my head and looked around the hall.
The three members of the household and a few volunteers ran around the hall diligently.
Hannah cleaning up and Kanna pouring out ice.
The hall was filled with barrels of wine and tables and chairs were appropriately tidied up.
‘I think I’m almost ready.’
Preparations for the opening ceremony were being finalized.
***
‘Opening ceremony?’
Razbeth muttered quietly as he checked his attire.
Originally, Razbeth had left the information gathering to Gillian and only cleaned and classified the data, but today he was planning to do it himself.
‘There’s not much progress.’
I have been in contact with Berman, but he is either tight-lipped or just doesn’t know anything, so I haven’t been able to divulge any information.
‘Vermuntra… He was bigger than I thought.’
Razbeth raised the corners of his mouth as he recalled the recent request.
The Vice-General of the Kingdom of Byzantro, nicknamed the ‘Splendid Fifth Star’. Since the Kingdom of Byzantro arranged its positions by the order of the stars, it meant that he was the sixth big shot in the kingdom.
‘In the end, it was destroyed.’
There was no specific information about its destruction. There was no reason for the Information Guild to invest money in a kingdom that had already been destroyed.
‘It’s the fifth time… There was a reason why there was no reply.’
Razbeth guessed that the man named Vermunt had done something.
If not, there was no way that the response to the red-level request would be this late, even if it was on the other side of the continent.
Then, Razbeth contacted Marquis Ethan, who was the ‘King’.
This was an irreversible act as a member of the Information Guild, but Razbet, who was ‘blinded by ambition’, was confident.
It wasn’t the guild that was on my mind.
‘···Why aren’t you doing anything?’
Aaron took no action, even though his actions were predictable.
‘No, you were the one who told me to contact you first.’
Razbeth shook his head, trying to shake off his anxiety.
‘I’ll take the money for Vermunt and the Red Order and go across the sea to the Kingdom of Brighton.’
He couldn’t rot away in a remote area like this. It was the guild’s fault for abandoning a talented person like him to a remote area.
There wasn’t much time since I had to contact Ethan.
Before the response came, Razbeth was planning to find out about Aaron and see if there was any place to roll the money.
It was a good opportunity because Aaron happened to invite me, saying, ‘Hey Google, come to the opening ceremony later.’
‘It’s useful.’
Razbeth raised the corners of his mouth at his reflection in the mirror.
Appearance was an essential virtue for an informant, and Razbet was a capable informant. He checked the weapon hidden on the side of his chest one last time and left the house.
‘It’s zone 4.’
I didn’t know the exact location of the bar, but I knew it as soon as I entered District 4.
In the center of District 4 there was a bar that was twice the size and height of the other buildings.
The decisive factor is the large sign.
‘Awesome Aaron Rabbit?’
It had a terrible name and a strange picture.
‘What is that?’
In front of the bar, there was a long line of twenty rough-looking men on both sides.
They were staring at each other and growling as if they were going to fight at any moment. It was an atmosphere that made it very uncomfortable to approach.
““Welcome!!””
As we stood in front of the bar, men on both sides shouted.
‘The chief of the external security guard controls the back alleys of the castle? What the…’
I knew from Gillian’s report that Aaron had taken over Cassidy’s back alley, but it was even more absurd to see it in person.
Inside was even more shocking.
Stone statues and strange chandeliers placed everywhere.
Everything was in the shape of one man.
‘Wouldn’t it be worse than the Emperor?’
Razbeth stuck out his tongue at the extreme narcissism.
“What is your name?”
The large man guarding the door asked.
‘His name is Zenta, he’s the guy who works at Hannah’s bar and claims to be in a common-law relationship with Aaron.’
Razbeth, who had figured out information about his opponent in his head, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
“It’s Razbet.”
“Well, it’s not on the list.”
‘inventory?’
Razbeth was dumbfounded by the man’s firm answer.
“Aaron called me.”
“The list the boss gave me doesn’t include razbet. He said he’d only be accepting customers after the opening ceremony, so I’d suggest waiting a bit…”
The man’s answer was stubborn. At that, Razbet chewed his lip and thought back on the situation.
‘I definitely got an invitation···.’
Razbeth opened his mouth as a thought suddenly occurred to him.
“Hey Google?”
“Oh, hey Google? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Only then did the man nod and step aside.
‘What the heck is Hey Google?’
Razbeth turned inward, rubbing his forearms with rising irritation and curiosity.
There were quite a few people inside.
‘Outer guards, is that a monk over there? Why is a monk opening a bar…?’
Razbeth quickly looked around.
Rasbeth, who had memorized all the characters of the Cassadic family, tilted his head as he examined their faces.
‘···Even the knights? Why are the knights here?’
There were many people here and there who didn’t seem to fit in with the opening ceremony of a bar.
Razbeth sat down in an empty seat at one of the spacious tables.
There were several people sitting at the table who appeared to be Aaron’s close associates.
Razbeth looked around, pretending to look around.
“That’s why my brother told me to stop fighting and come downstairs.”
“···Did Aaron really say that?”
“Hmm.”
The men sitting across from me were talking with serious faces.
The people in the middle were Dylan, Aaron’s confidant, and the leader of the organization, Scar and a man named Joeji.
“Huh… These people have been fooled. If you really doubt it, I’ll bring my brother and you can go see it yourself….”
“Hey! That’s just what I said.”
“No matter what, let’s merge them into one.”
“You don’t like it? Let’s meet?”
“···That’s not it. I’m just embarrassed.”
“You guys, think about it carefully. How long are you going to fight and fight in this small castle? There’s more food outside the castle. People from the same town should band together out of loyalty and fight against foreign powers! You should show some of that kind of solidarity.”
“···Dylan, you’re not from Cassadic, are you?”
“Oh, how can you judge a person’s heart by the time period? Anyway, everyone, think carefully. I asked you specifically.”
Razbeth turned his head, as it didn’t matter whether this small castle organization would merge or not.
‘Knights?’
At another table sat people wearing strange helmets.
Two of them were Adolf and Delfran, the new knights who had joined Cassadic, and the little girl sitting across from them was Canna, who claimed to be Aaron’s daughter.
“I think the popularity of stone statues has decreased recently. How can we forget about the legendary hero Deokgu? What do you think, Kanggu?”
“I think it would be better to lower the price. First of all, increasing the number of Namayyads is important.”
Kanna answered with a sharp tone of voice that did not match her youthful appearance.
“As expected, you’re a member of the Kangoo faction. There’s going to be an officer position coming up soon, and I think you’re the perfect fit for that.”
‘If it’s Namiyadmyeon… it was an organization that honored Deokgu.’
Razbeth listened to the conversation and sensed that their forces were unusual.
‘Two knights, one wizard, and six skilled mercenaries? That’s more than you’d think.’
Namaiyad… Razbeth muttered quietly, trying to remember the meaning of the word he didn’t know.
Although they were tied together by strange motives, in terms of sheer force alone they were now the largest group in Cassidy.
“Grass. Are those fangs really effective?”
“Platae… Look. No, it’s Plasigo, and it’s effective.”
“Placio? What is that? I’ve never heard of it before.”
“You don’t know the effect of Plascigo? Even Captain Aaron knows about it?”
“Ahem… No, of course I know.”
At another table sat the guards from the outer city. There were easily over twenty of them, as if everyone except those on duty had gathered.
Razbeth looked at them and met Berman’s eyes. Berman bit his lip with a look of need to take a shit, and Razbeth quickly looked away.
‘···Why is it like that?’
I told him firmly not to pretend to know me outside.
At that moment, the bar door opened and a woman entered.
Razbeth looked at the woman and gave a small exclamation of admiration.
‘Nova? You look really good.’
Razbeth quickly got up from his seat and headed towards Nova.
Nova was one of the few people in this remote area who could communicate, and she was also a woman who had a close relationship with Aaron.
However, Nova’s expression was different than usual. Her face was red as if it was going to burst, and her eyes were sharper than usual, as if she had exerted strength. She looked like she could slap anyone in the face at any moment.
“이 개새끼.”
The brutality made Razbeth pause for a moment.
The man who had caught Razbet earlier quickly stepped aside without asking any questions.
Nova paused for a moment to take a deep breath, then returned to her usual cold face, but her cheeks were still red.
“Nova-nim.”
“···Razbet? You too?”
At Nova’s sharp gaze, Razbeth hurriedly shook his head. He didn’t understand the question, but it was his intuition as an informant.
“Yes? No. I was just invited to the opening ceremony.”
“is it so.”
Nova gave a short answer and passed Razbet and sat down in the empty seat. Razbet took a deep breath for a moment and sat down next to him.
Nova closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then nodded and greeted the people around her briefly.
Razbeth looked at the gathered figures and frowned.
Knights, scribes, abbots, inquisitors, and even local thugs.
It was safe to say that all of the major figures of Cassadic were gathered, except for the lord and a few others.
‘The outer guard is actually led by Aaron, and Namaiyad also follows Deokgu, so it’s safe to say that it’s Aaron’s… and there’s even a secretary and a member of the religious order? What the…’
When listed in order, it was a control that even a lord could not have. To secretly control the castle to this extent…
‘What on earth was he doing?’
“Thank you all for coming.”
At that moment, a large-breasted woman greeted the people.
‘I guess I can do it,’
It seemed like Hannah was the owner of this bar.
Hannah had an innocent look, but she didn’t lose her confidence even in front of the knights, only slightly bowing.
‘···If I see that vicious face every day, I can’t help but feel timid.’
Razbeth nodded slightly as he thought of Aaron’s face. He had an expression that would be difficult to live with unless you had a lot of courage.
After making a circle, Hana approached Razbet and Nova.
“Nova, thank you for coming to our bar’s opening ceremony.”
Hannah raised the corners of her lips and spoke in a soft voice.
“···we?”
On the contrary, Nova’s face crumpled in an instant.
“Oh my, are we out of alcohol?”
“Hmm. It seems a bit bigger than the size you allowed?”
“Sister. Have you tried this wine?”
“Follow me once.”
Nova clinked her glasses.
Hana filled her glass, her forehead slightly wrinkled.
In the rapid conversation, their expressions changed from moment to moment.
The sight felt like a silent, fierce battle.
‘What, this is fun.’
Razbeth sipped his wine and pretended not to care.
“Why is Aaron in the name of the bar?”
“Oh, I didn’t know. It’s jointly owned by Aaron and me. Aaron invested a lot of the shares.”
“Shares? …Why are you waving your hands?”
“Oh my, you don’t even know that.”
‘I don’t think he knows either.’
Razbeth gulped as the conversation became increasingly heated.
The pointed conversation continued for a bit longer, but contrary to expectations, the mood changed when Hannah poured Nova’s glass.
“Did you get the correct estimate? It’s too big.”
“There was nothing like this in Cassidy yet. We accepted the deficit for the time being.”
“Yes, the lord seems to be happy too.”
The tone was still cold, but unlike before, it wasn’t sharp. It was just a business-like conversation.
“Brother, you are coming in!!”
Then, a man named Dylan got attention by clapping.
The grim-faced men and the guards jumped to their feet and applauded enthusiastically. It seemed as if they had been threatened.
It was an intense atmosphere that did not suit the position of a mere security chief.
Next-.
Knock knock.
Aaron came down with heavy footsteps.
There was a canna dangling from her waist.
“Good… no, let’s start with the blessings.”
Aaron, who came down to the first floor, waved his hand roughly.
Then the abbot stood up and recited a prayer softly.
‘The abbot gave his blessing at the opening ceremony of the bar…?…Why?’
A question arose in Razbeth’s mind.
The prayer was so long that he almost dozed off in the middle. But since there were two inquisitors, Razbeth tried to keep his wits about him.
‘···You’re sleeping?’
Behind Inquisitor Farhan, Inquisitor Joanna closed her eyes and nodded. Farhan, with a tense face, looked at the Abbot of Brighton and desperately tried to cover him up.
After the long blessing, the next one was a little girl named Kanna.
Kanna, standing in the middle with a very confident expression, raised both hands.
Then the men next to me started spraying water into the air.
A misty blizzard formed and fell slowly.
Ice sculptures shining brightly, reflecting the light of the chandelier.
Razbeth, who had been watching with rapt attention, reached out and examined it.
It was very small and melted in an instant, but its shape was familiar.
‘How about this little ice?’
Razbeth was quietly amazed at the beauty that could not be described with any other word than ‘magic’.
At that moment, Kanna stretched out her hands to both sides.
‘fire?!’
The people nearby were startled by the blast of fire and jumped up.
‘cute.’
Razbeth muttered softly as he looked at Kanna, who was completely focused. If I were to have a child, I would want to have a cute daughter like that.
Soon the fire split in half and each took its own shape.
‘Great darkness? Deokgu?’
The fireball to its right grew in size and took the form of a giant darkness.
It seemed as if a huge dark presence was being felt in the blazing flames.
Some people screamed at the overwhelming excitement.
The opposite fire also took shape, but was small in size compared to the huge dark fire.
‘···Deokgu?’
A strange taste came up in the identity of the fire.
A huge darkness sprayed fire and swung its fists.
How vivid it was, Razbeth was drawn to it, his concentration drawn to it.
Razbeth swallowed his saliva at the splendid sight he had never seen before.
“Hero Deokgu!!”
The article on ‘Namaiyad’ drew a strong response.
At that moment, Deokgu, who had been pushed back repeatedly, grabbed the huge darkness with his hand and tore it apart.
“Oooh!! Strategic strategy!!”
Deokgu, who had torn apart the great darkness, raised both his hands in a flash.
Namaiyad was in tears as he chanted “Deokgu!” and “Strategic Collaboration!”, but the reactions of others were the complete opposite.
The guards kept their mouths shut and tried to look away, and the grim-faced men looked as if they needed to take a dump.
“Umm… This shit happens every night… No, I said I do this. If you come at the right time, you can see it.”
Aaron, with a drowsy face, spoke while clapping his hands, and Kanna bowed in greeting like a clown.
After that, food and drinks were served and the real party began.
“Great Aaron Rabbit. What a great name for a bar, isn’t it?”
“joy.”
Nova snorted at Hannah’s words and immediately tapped her chest.
Kkung kkung.
The sound was clear and pleasant to listen to.
‘···What are you doing?’
“Can’t you do this?”
“That… that’s right.”
Nova finished his strange performance and grinned. Hanna nodded with a strange expression.
at that time.
“Wow-!!”
When I turned my head at the sudden outburst of cheers, a strange sight unfolded before my eyes.
The cheering men and the captain of the guard with a very serious face.
Aaron, in front of him, was shoving a silver coin into the captain of the guard’s nostril.
Even Berman, who was staring at him with an irritating look in his eyes.
‘I really hate the frontier… It’s so uncivilized.’
Razbeth muttered softly and looked away.
***
“I don’t think it will work.”
“I said you can! Put more! It’s possible!”
“I don’t care if it gets torn apart.”
The captain, with his nose fully extended, looked at me with serious eyes.
Since ancient times, opening ceremonies required putting banknotes in a pig’s mouth.
Since there were no paper money, they used silver coins instead.
I suggested to the captain that we put a silver coin in his nose.
Even the captain, who had initially refused, accepted when they told him he would give him all the silver coins.
‘If I put more in, it seems like it’ll rip.’
I’ve already put in six, three on each side.
But the captain, whose eyes had already rolled back, urged them to add more.
‘The more you put in, the better.’
He took out a silver coin and shoved it into the captain’s full nostrils.
“We can do it! Our pigs!”
“Captain! Let’s show that the captain is a man too!”
The captain, with his face hardened by the enthusiastic response, raised his fist.
The expression on his face was extremely serious, like the face of a general leading the battlefield.
‘Is it okay?’
Eventually, one more silver coin was added to each side.
““Wow!!””
A thunderous cheer.
“The captain who ‘put eight silver coins in his nostrils’!”
“Just do it one more time and it’ll be a new record! A legend!”
Someone’s scream continued to spread.
The strange excitement that comes from the word ‘legend’.
‘legend.’
It was a word that no man could pass by.
The heat seemed to have been transmitted to the captain, and a look of determination appeared on his pig-like face.
“You won’t die if your nostrils are torn off! You won’t die! Put it in!”
The captain waved his hand, shouting curiously.
‘The monster had eight nostrils.’
It was the highest record set by Banste, who had very large nostrils.
The record-breaking Banste retired from the industry after suffering a torn nostril.
‘Even if it’s torn now, there’s still the abbot.’
The moment he took out a silver coin and thrust it into the captain’s nose.
“Ugh! It’s impossible! It’s impossible!”
The captain, whose determination had disappeared like a lie, patted my arm.
I looked around for a moment.
Expectant onlookers.
The members who chant the sweet word ‘legend’.
The captain’s will was broken in front of him.
A nose full of silver coins.
I saw space in my eyes.
The legend was visible with only one step left.
“It wasn’t a crowd!”
I grabbed the captain by the back of his neck and shoved the silver coin in.
The captain had a seizure, but the guards around him held him in place.
“I put ten silver coins into my nose…”
A murmur of astonishment was heard from the side.
“I thought you were a piece of trash pig all this time···.”
“The captain is the captain.”
“To have achieved such a legendary feat.”
Exclamations of admiration came from everywhere.
The captain shed tears of joy at the fact that he had succeeded and created a legend.
‘Is this the maximum?’
There was no more room to enter.
This seemed to be the limit.
The captain pulled out the silver coin stuck in his nose with trembling hands.
“The cool, balding, fat legendary captain is buying drinks!!”
““Wow!””
The weasel shouted out.
The bar shook with cheers, but the captain, who was too busy taking out the silver coins, seemed not to hear them.
“···Seven, eight, nine. Nine? Nine?”
The captain muttered next to me, but I ignored him.
I glanced around and checked the hall.
‘It’s bustling. This is how an opening ceremony should be.’
When you are smiling contentedly.
“I, Berman! I have something to say!!”
Berman, his face flushed, raised his hand.
‘What’s wrong with that kid?’
The sight was extremely unsettling.
I immediately thought of my older brother, a returning student who used to sing serenades at a karaoke bar during my college days.
‘That guy applied to be an exchange student.’
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Berman.
Berman had a strawberry-like appearance because of his freckles.
Looking at it this way, I realized once again how ugly it was.
‘I told you that kid was waiting for his fate.’
An ugly strawberry with some facial hair here and there.
The last romantic virgin man of the Middle Ages who has never held a woman’s hand.
‘That sounds fun.’
I waved my hand to quiet the kids.
“I, Berman! It’s been twenty-nine years since I came to find my destiny!”
Berman’s cry full of sincerity.
“The beer is cold – the beer is cheap – the Aaron Rabbit bar is awesome for us···.”
He asked his son, who was singing beside him without any notice, to play softly.
Tiring-.
The atmosphere became serious in an instant.
Emboldened by the BGM, Berman opened his mouth.
‘At that time, how did the other person react?’
I squinted my eyes and recalled the past, but it didn’t come to mind as if it had been painted over.
“But before I turned thirty, I met that fate! That fate was···”
Berman pointed somewhere.
There···.
‘Oh, that was the face.’
There was a Google with a face that looked exactly like it had chewed shit.
The pointed out Google immediately stood up and hurriedly ran out of the bar.
The atmosphere became tense in an instant.
Berman stands frozen in place with his hands outstretched with confidence.
No one opened their mouth.
“This is my destiny that I found after twenty-nine years!”
However, the clueless son of Haesun played the guitar and sang.
…Wahahahahaha!
The atmosphere became noisy as he burst into forced laughter.
I clicked my tongue and looked around.
Nova and Hannah were sitting together, chatting away.
“pup.”
Nova, who made eye contact with me, immediately let out an awkward curse.
The pronunciation was so awkward that it sounded more like a compliment than an insult, so I just ignored it.
‘Shamans, corrupt politicians, pigs, numbers. The perfect opening ceremony.’
As I nodded in satisfaction, the bar door opened.
And what came in was.
“I thought it was okay here, but it smells bad.”
He was the eldest son of the Fener family, with a wrinkled face.
A weasel, who had been collecting silver coins with snot on them in the corner, turned slightly toward the door.
The weasel moved as soon as the door opened.
The weasel standing next to the door like an assassin moved its mouth as it looked at me.
– Do you feel it?
I was troubled as I looked at the shape of the weasel’s mouth.
‘If he is the eldest son, he has not yet inherited the title, so can he be beaten?’
It was ambiguous.
