007 – Don’t copy good kids # 1
I had no idea.
because I had no idea.
First of all, I went out to the downtown of this city-state, Principality of Phrygia, with Naru.
When I came out here, I didn’t know what to do.
Is there anything that comes to mind of Naru?
“butterfly!”
“… … .”
Naruto seemed to have no idea.
“So many butterflies! It’s a whole butterfly field! Ow shek, swallowtail butterfly, white butterfly!”
Naru just liked watching the butterflies fluttering through the air.
“Oh, shh, who taught you that?”
“Dad! He said it was the biggest exclamation in the world!”
“… … .”
Yes, spring weather in full swing.
It is very beautiful to see butterflies flying among the flowers planted on the well-maintained road.
Considering that the streets of the Kingdom of Ordor, where I was active as a base, were full of mud, mud, and filth, this country was certainly no different from paradise.
The faces of people walking down the street are relaxed and their clothes are clean.
Can we really be proud that we are 200 years ahead of other countries?
but.
Even in Korea in the 21st century, which was a high-tech country, problems and incidents were the law to occur.
It’s such a peaceful and splendid city, but if you look closely, there’s bound to be at least one problem.
In fact, I was already aware of the disturbing movement.
In particular, the male student in that corner is very suspicious.
At that time, Naru tugged at my collar.
“Dad, why? Who is that person?”
“… What!?”
No, you saw through my “sneak peek” of Biggie Barbara?
By the way, “Sneak peek” was a C-class skill according to my brain.
It was difficult to acquire, but it was a very useful skill. Should I say it’s a technique that can completely hide where my eyes are headed?
For example, use this when
When looking straight into the face of a tough criminal.
If you just look at it, it is only natural that there will be a fight saying, “You bastard, aren’t you covering your eyes!?”
Because this world is full of real ignoramuses.
However, it was nice to be able to look at it freely without worrying about the direction of my gaze when using “Sneak Peek”.
For example, seeing the breasts of a woman with large breasts… .
Like peeping at the legs exposed under the short skirt.
anyway.
Two years since I fell into this different world.
To think that someone would appear who noticed my concealment of gaze, which no one had noticed since I acquired it.
Naru guy.
Do you feel better than you think?
I said.
“Look at that man over there. What do you think you are doing? But don’t look at it too intently. There is a high probability of getting into a useless fight.”
“Hmm, this, is it like this… .”
Naru’s eyes moved around and around.
Are you trying to imitate my “sneak peek”?
“done… !”
No, you follow this?
I would have to work hard for at least a month to imitate the C-class skill according to my brain.
said Naru.
“I have a bag of bread! Age is… . I do not know. But I’m wearing a school uniform! On the way out of the bakery… ! bread… delicious… . Naru is hungry… .”
The conversation is pouring out like a stream of consciousness.
However, the general observational power seemed to be quite good.
As Naru said, the man was holding a bag of bread.
It was a bread bag with slices of bread in it.
It’s delicious to eat when it’s warm.
However, even though the bread was getting cold, the man did not think about going back home and was looking around and noticing.
As if he was about to do something bad!
Sussuk-.
“oh! It moved!”
Naru shouted as the man disappeared into the alley.
I said while pushing Naru’s back with my hand.
“Okay, let’s go after it.”
Even the smallest clue is fine.
In order to grasp the atmosphere of the city, even a small instrument is sufficient.
At least that was the case for me.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
With that feeling, I cut through the crowd and headed for the back alley.
In a back alley that was quite underdeveloped, there was a man I had been eyeing.
And under the wall in the back alley, scruffy students were gathering to share a loaf of bread. It was to the extent that it looked very pitiful.
“Bread eaten in a week.”
“delicious… !”
“We only have a little, so we have to share it.”
Are the poor people
Seeing that, Naru cried.
“Poor people… ? The four of us are sharing a loaf of bread!”
Is Naru a more sensitive child than I thought?
But my thoughts were different.
“No, that is a lie. Take a good look. Naru, if you were my daughter, you would find something suspicious in that scene.”
“Sue, anything suspicious? ugh… .”
Naru hid in a corner and stared intently at the bread eaters.
“Since I am my father’s daughter, I should be able to spot suspicious things… !”
It feels like she is trying to prove that she is my daughter.
How many seconds have passed?
“… i get it!”
“Five? yes?”
“I want to know that this Naru doesn’t know… !”
“… … .”
“I’m sorry… .”
Naru was very depressed.
What is this guy, when he’s embarrassed or nervous, he uses such a strange tone?
I said while stroking Naru’s head.
“Anything is fine, so tell me something suspicious.”
“Ugh… ! Suspicious thing… ! questionable… !”
Naru burns with enthusiasm again.
Soon the boy shouted brightly.
“i get it! There are only men… ! Even though he looks quite old, no one has a girlfriend… ! Suspicious people must be… !”
“… … .”
no.
The answer is a bit different from what I was thinking.
And it was the moment when my heart was stabbed.
I pretended to be okay and cleared my throat.
“Yes, that too. Do those guys look so hungry? But that’s it. If you look closely, you can see that their hunger is strange. Take a good look at those guys.”
hungry.
It is more horrifying than you can imagine.
In the first month of hardship after falling into this world, the thing that bothered me the most was hunger, not loneliness.
In other words, I am an expert on hunger.
From my point of view, those guys were contradictory.
“Huh… .”
Naru seemed to keep a good eye on the crowd in the alley by using Barbara’s Biggie “Sneak Peek”. Then, as if he realized something, he said.
“I’m pretending to eat bread, but I’m not really eating it at all… !”
“yes. You did well.”
I stroked Naruto’s hair.
As Naru said, they were just ‘pretending’ to share the bread.
Perhaps the hunger they are talking about is smoke.
FALSE.
It’s a trick.
“Ah, I’m full.”
“See you here next time.”
“hi.”
Sussuk-.
Soon the crowds gathered under the wall were scattered, each on its own path.
“Yes?”
Naru tilted her head as if she hadn’t seen anything.
I could figure out that they split up after sharing something.
The only thing left in the seat now is the uniformed student holding the bread bag.
I guess I was around seventeen or eighteen.
I approached him and asked.
“Are you done with your business?”
Startle-.
The student is startled.
Then he looked at me and asked.
“Who, who are you!”
“What are you so surprised about? Like someone caught doing something bad. Isn’t it a big mistake to pretend to share a slice of bread and share the note inside the slice of bread?”
“What, what!”
Cheolkkeok, sereung-.
The male student pulled out a dagger from somewhere.
The sharp blade is nice.
It was a good dagger.
It’s a good size to hide in a pocket or sleeve.
“Are you arguing about a savage knowing who I am? I am Eliezer, the second son of Baron Baldmore in the Duchy of Frisia and a 14th year student at Graham Academy! Their skills are also of the same level!”
same grade.
Those words reminded me of a system that evaluates the combat power of people in this world.
Tear, so to speak.
Iron from level 1 to 10.
Bronze from 10 to 20.
20 – 30 silver silver.
30 – 40 Silver Gold.
40-49 is platinum, and if you reach 50, the end of the level, you can transcend humans.
For reference, the level can be known by drawing a drop of blood from a guild or public institution to check the karma inherent in the body.
And depending on the level and rank, there were cases where people wore dog tags that looked like dog tags.
If you are in the Bronze tier, a dog tag made of copper.
If you are in the silver tier, a dog tag made of silver—.
Anyway, if it’s the same grade… .
That’s roughly level 10 to 20.
Considering that quite a few adventurers die after staying at the same level for the rest of their lives, the second son of the paroxysmal blah blah was a pretty good guy at a young age.
Even if you reach the silver rank, you are treated as a veteran.
I don’t think I even graduated from school yet, but I’m bronze.
Truly elite.
Soon, Naru hid behind me and pulled my collar.
“Dad, what’s your grade? Is it great?”
“I mean, I’m not a very great person.”
Even if the rating is great, it’s a standard story for ordinary people.
To me, Bronze is, frankly, no fun.
At those words, the second son had a seizure.
“B, ignoring Bronze! A savage who doesn’t seem so great!”
“No, even if it looks like this, I’m platinum. Platinum. Have you heard of Judas the Thief?”
“Do not be ridiculous! Do you know how many people with the platinum rank exist in the world and lie like that? There are less than 10 Platinum tiers in the world! And if you are ‘Judas the thief’ then I am God!”
“yes?”
pat-.
I kicked the ground.
the world accelerates
In an instant, the distance between me and the Bronze kid was shortened.
Before he has time to react, my hand moves first.
“Heart robbing.”
My hand aimed at the chest of the bronze tier.
Biggi Barbara’s “Heart Steal” is a B-class skill according to my brain, and it was a great skill to steal the opponent’s heart.
Even the entire process takes less than 0.1 second.
Stealing is about speed and accuracy.
Of course, it was a technique that had weaknesses.
It’s a great technique, but it didn’t work for those without a heart.
That’s why it’s a B-class with limitations.
For reference, the B-class skill was a high rank that could only be mastered after a lifetime of effort.
Of course, this is also my brain.
By the way.
I had a sudden thought.
Naru is watching this scene.
I mean, isn’t that too cruel?
No matter how you think about it, isn’t it a scene that can’t be watched by teenagers?
Is it really going to splatter a lot of blood?
“Sheesh.”
can’t you do it
* * *
“Dear Hee, Ayeeek!”
The second son of Bronze Tier, Balzac, trembled.
Push Yi Yi -.
It was unsightly to see the school uniform pants getting wet.
“… Dad, my brother took a break. This naru doesn’t carelessly get bored anymore… .”
Naru looked at such a student with pitiful and pitiful eyes.
Of course, the person involved grabbed his chest and jumped wildly.
“My, my heart, give it back to me, uhhhhh.”
Have you ever seen a scene where a high school boy cries while peeing?
To be honest, it’s incredibly ugly.
I kicked the guy’s body with my feet and said.
“Don’t be rude.”
“Uh, huh? my heart… . oh! Instead, the wallet I had put in the inside pocket of my coat was gone… !”
He seems to be a guy who can grasp the situation quite well.
I asked while touching my thick wallet.
“Originally, I was just going to ask something. But you dare to draw your sword in front of me. Originally, I would have had to pay it with death, but I’ll let you go because my wallet is thick. Let’s ask something instead.”
“What, are you asking?”
Attitude has softened a lot.
I must have felt that there was a difference between me and myself.
I simply asked because I didn’t want to stay long in a place that stinked.
“Things like vicious rumors floating around this city of Phrygia. bad news. I wonder if there is such a thing You, no matter what, you’re a bad guy Bad guys are quicker than you think at this point. is not it?”
Those who do bad things must always be aware of the situation around them.
how the policy changes.
You should always know who the politician is.
If you don’t, you won’t be able to adapt to the changing situation and get caught.
In that sense, this bronze guy must have at least one or two pieces of information I might want to know. I wish I could have paid for my life.
Bronze, who was trembling immediately, spoke.
“Phew, what a nasty rumor. As far as I know, there is no such thing. Freesia is like a paradise on earth… .”
“There can be no such thing as paradise on earth, right? Aren’t you talking straight?”
“Well, El Cladeco, the dean of Graham Academy, is a very good person… . Because the security is perfect… .”
El Cladeco.
its name.
I think I’ve heard of it somewhere.
who was it
No, I should point this out first.
Shuk-.
I took out a piece of paper from inside his stolen wallet.
It looked like an ordinary, well-folded note, but in fact it contained powder.
white powder
“This is medicine. Maybe drugs or something like that. This kind of thing is spreading secretly among students like you, but you have to tell people lies about paradise on earth. is not it?”
“That, that… .”
Bronze doesn’t know what to do.
Then Naru shouted.
“White powder! It looks like the mana water in the bucket earlier!”
is it?
I’m not familiar with magical powers or magic, so I don’t know.
Anyway, this kind of medicine was so hideous that it could only be seen in the back alleys even in the kingdom of Ordor, where security was not good.
That such a thing exists in this beautiful Phrygia.
After all, there are bound to be problems wherever people live.
Could the problem that Brigitte was having alone have something to do with this powder?
When thinking about that, Bronze shouted.
“Ho, excuse me, but may I ask if you are Yuda-sama? No, I have no choice but to know without asking! This ability to steal my wallet is unmistakably platinum… ! I thought it was an impersonator.”
“Well… . There are a lot of my impersonators.”
Black-haired savages go around pretending to be “I am Judas of Barbaria!”
It’s also a common name, and it’s because saying it scares others.
Who is fooled by such a lie?
Unexpectedly, I was deceived a lot.
It seems to the people of this world that all black-haired savages look like them there.
So, there were a lot of cases where I was just dumping on evil deeds that I didn’t even do.
Even if I revealed that I was a real Judas, there were many times when I reacted with a feeling like “Isn’t that a lie?”
Bronze’s eyes shone brightly, perhaps not knowing my circumstances.
“The thief of the demon lord subjugation party! Ruler of the back alley, Mr. Judas! I respect you! Anyone who walks in the shadows would have thought that they would meet someone they admired in such a humble place!”
Warak-.
A male student who was lying on the floor clung to my leg.
Where are you sticking to this baby?
“I will tell you everything I know!”
