Labyrinth City Mesugaki Pawn Shop

82. Dessert (1)

“So, should I go right now?”

No matter how you look at it, it is a busy body with scheduled schedules.

It’s too late to respond to a sudden call…

“The saintess wanted to visit us only within today, but it is our personal wish that she visit us as quickly as possible.”

If it’s within today…

“I can’t give you a definite answer because I have a personal appointment, but I think it will be late in the afternoon…”

“Yes, I understand. Then, before coming, you can hand this to the nuns or priests in the city.”

What Isabel handed over to her with those words was a small silver coin.

The Silver Hwarang was another coin, no, rather than the purpose of money, it was a kind of token stamped with the cross mark of the church.

With Isabelle behind her as she walked outside with her head down, Lucky was watching the coin in my hand.

“This is genuine. It is the proof of a saintess.”

“The proof of a saint?”

“The person who has this coin is a precious person who made a promise to the saint, so it means that he will be served as a guest of the church.”

In the information window that immediately popped up, an explanation that was not much different from that appeared in front of my eyes.

Really.

However, there was a problem with simply accepting it as a good thing.

Einheri Dvorak.

It was my name before the change in the past and the name I received on behalf of Saint Rusalka Dvořák’s missing younger brother, but it is unknown how it would have changed now.

Relationships and trusts must have all changed.

It’s not like Raffy had a younger brother or something like that.

“But the saintess wants to meet you like this, so it seems that her body is getting hot, but she puts it off and even makes a personal promise. I’m very curious-“

“Well, she’s not hiding that much of a promise.”

It’s not like going secretly in the first place.

Rather, I had to ask Lucky… And also, I had to tear it apart.

“I decided to buy a dessert for Yan.”

The promise of the distant past, Yan may have forgotten, but I remember.

“…To that witch? No, wait, really? Is that Yan? She’s a witch who didn’t listen to anyone…?”

Lucky, with an expression of disbelief, stood there blankly, forgetting what to say.

No, isn’t it so strange that Yan eats dessert? Rather…

“I need some money to buy dessert…”

In an era where swords and magic were wielded, desserts were a sure luxury item.

How can a penniless man who has no coins, let alone silver coins, buy such an expensive thing?

“Give me some money.”

Extortion…Rip…Pinch… No, you should get the red line

As he stretched out his hands proudly, Lucky leaned over the bar with his shoulders drooping in vain.

“Begging is too proud…”

“Think of it as the price of information.”

“But I think the price has already been paid? He told me everything about the phoenix feather.”

“Then, shall we sell another piece of information?”

What I remember enough to rot is the information in the game.

It won’t make money right now, but I knew a lot of information that I could benefit from in the future.

And among them, if I had to guess what would make money without having a big impact on the future…

Leaned toward Lucky, who had a sullen look on his face.

A close distance where each breath can reach.

“Hey, you…”

Instead of moving forward any further, he stepped aside and whispered into the dark elf’s long ear.

“I told you about how to take off the 22nd floor armored lizard. Do you think it will be useful?”

But that was a mistake.

“Those materials gradually get weathered and become like sand as time passes. It’s not even good as a magic ingredient.”

“How did you know that…”

“Ah, how are you? It’s a fact you don’t know unless you go directly into it, right?”

“But you don’t have a labyrinth entry record… Hu… No, what are you doing after all?”

….It is false.

Of course, you know because you’ve done all the arrogance with your character in the game.

Even if it looks like this, it is me who read the in-game text carefully.

And among them, the armored lizard material is garbage among garbage that can’t be used for armor, weapons, or any combination of materials.

Unlike the majesty of a sub-ryong who wears invincible armor that is hard to be damaged by anything, it becomes nothing after death.

Except for one thing.

“The value of an armored lizard is not on the surface. It’s in it.”

“…There was no such thing as Dragon Heart. No, if there was such a thing in the first place, it would have been caught in magic detection.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

I took out tableware from a barrel placed in a corner of the bar and held it up.

As soon as he acted as if he was cutting a steak on a plate with a knife and fork, Lucky’s expression really changed subtly.

“The taste of the meat and intestines under that hard armor is excellent, right? It’s not enough to say it tastes heavenly.”

Of course, I haven’t tried it myself, but the game text says so.

What, why, what, Mr. Pax.

“Do you know what it means to eat the same monster meat in a labyrinth?”

There was no way the monsters living in that harsh environment could survive on proper food, and of course, all sorts of poison accumulated in their bodies.

The poisons that are concentrated by the food chain as you move toward higher predators are a fatal blow to the playable character.

In the first place, eating monster meat in the yard where you get all sorts of nasty debuffs just by being bitten by a rat?

It’s something idiots who gave up on surviving would do, but… Our K-gamers love such idiots so much.

The mission of a K-gamer is to discover the hidden recipe through infinite farming and infinite ingredient combinations.

“I will tell you how to decontaminate food ingredients and how to mix herbs. Well, it doesn’t work with other materials. It is a decontamination method that is applied only to armored lizard meat…”

“Is there any proof that the method is correct?”

“I’m alive, right?”

It doesn’t even work.

“Even if it looks like this, it is a symbol of trust? Have you ever seen me lie? Has any of the information I’ve given you been wrong?:”

“No.”

Lucky, with a slightly stiff expression, sighed heavily and pulled out a leather pouch from his bosom.

The sound of coins clinking, and I took out a few of them and held them in my hand…

“No way, I’m not telling you to eat that and leave, right?”

At best, it was a number that could have been five, a little bit of disappointment.

From a simple point of view, what I’m about to tell Lucky is just one way to make monster fish edible… But the value it possesses is by no means insignificant.

It is not just a simple gourmet food, but a way to monopolize that gourmet food. Moreover, gourmet food always attracts the attention of rich people.

Besides, is it the meat of a sub-dragon that no one has ever eaten? It is a verified winning lottery ticket that is perfectly guaranteed from topicality to monopoly…

“This is an advance payment. If it is verified, more will be given.”

The coin finally revealed in the palm of your hand is copper…Silver…No, damn it, it’s gold!

A brilliantly shining gold coin was pushed out in front of me.

Five of them.

No ki yat hoo! How much is this!

He held onto the hand that held out the gold coin and gave him a big hug.

The glass at the bar is driven to the corner as if it will fall at any moment, but does that matter?

“Aww…! Hey! Hey! Won’t you let this go?”

“Thanks…Overwhelming thanks…!”

Then, as I thanked Lucky’s ear, my ears twitched slightly, as if the breath that came out naturally tickled me.

I tucked Lucky’s slightly disheveled hair behind his ear.

Looking at the gold coin in his hand, he smiles naturally.

“Huh… Really, this flirtation…. It’s more annoying that you act without knowing anything.”

“Yes?”

“No, go. Go away stop staying here Get out there!”

For some reason, Lucky’s ears seemed to be slightly red.

**********

I stared blankly at the door Einheri had left.

A situation where the admiral method he taught me doesn’t come into my head at all.

“The captain finally…”

“No, but if I take a shower with the captain… It’s something black… Just like beetroot in the forest b…”

“The chicken coop…”

The Alliance members who were quietly sitting at the table in the corner whispered quietly, but there was no way the Dark Elves could not hear it.

“Noisy! Everyone, if you have time to chat, go to the labyrinth! You bastards!”

I couldn’t bear to throw a glass, so I threw ice instead, and the allied members started to scatter like cockroaches in a semi-basement room with the lights on.

“Oops! The captain’s old maid hysteria!”

“Shut up!”

All of them were talented people who had climbed the 20th floor or higher of the labyrinth.

Gamnabit! Gamnabit! Gamnabit!

In the end, the only thing left is Lucky, his face flushed.

Above Lucky, in the air, the sorceress of the Porter Association, Seren, slowly appeared.

The translucent body wrapped in a robe gradually became clearer and my toes slowly touched the floor.

“Captain.”

“Why, are you trying to make fun of me too?”

“About that boy, Einheri…”

Sheren hesitated for a moment before she told her what she had seen.

“Before I left, I saw through me exactly when I was invisibility.”

“What?”

“It’s not that I didn’t use magic, and it’s not that I look special on the outside…

Looking up at the empty ceiling, Einheri met Seren’s own eyes exactly.

There is no way an ordinary person would recognize it.

“…Isn’t it an illusion?”

“They waved their hands.”

Then you’re not mistaken, do you have unusual eyes?

“A witch, a saint, and the head of the Mage Tower branch in the labyrinth city… But he doesn’t really know much, and he’s an unidentified boy who suddenly fell from the sky.”

In addition, they were thoroughly digging through information about the labyrinth they did not even know they had entered after the 20th floor, perhaps for the first time since ‘that adventurer’ in the past.

Could it be that he is of the same type as the adventurer who discovered the Philosopher’s Stone, or maybe he is a member of the same party…

“No… Ah, that’s not it.”

I was too young for that.

An extremely ordinary human, not even a sub-species.

But at least the fact that they had entered the labyrinth seemed clear.

I was a bit evasive, but… Otherwise, how would I know the taste of monster fish?

That is why further investigation was necessary.

It wasn’t a rough, brief personal profile like before, but a very detailed investigation that might slightly offend Einheri’s employer, the witch Yan.

It’s been a while since I’ve been putting money into the information guild.

“By the way, Captain…”

“Huh?”

“Really chicken…”

“You go out too!”

Eventually, everyone was kicked out.
