Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Alesia (1)

Episode 11

“no.”

Rey frowned at Jimmy’s assertion.

“Nothing?”

“Because it’s not. No, even if there is, will our turn come back? That’s all weakness.”

This time, I couldn’t resist Jimmy’s words.

Ray had asked Jimmy, ‘If there’s something the Count has been struggling with lately, please look into it.’

It is true that I did not expect much, but when the expected answer came back, I felt a little frustrated.

“Hmm.”

“Why is it that it doesn’t fit?”

“There are a lot of times I’ve pulled in from the head, but I don’t throw myself into places where the angle doesn’t come out at all.”

Although the Earl of Phillips is the most flexible among the nobles.

Even so, there was no way I could listen to the bullshit asking me to send a knight to an orphanage to teach me basic swordsmanship.

I tried digging for information with the intention of clearing my debt, but there was no income.

As Ray was in trouble, Jimmy let out a low smile and pulled out his purse.

“It’ll be about 200 gold. It’s my slush fund, but just take it and use it. I’ll be able to buy 20 practice swords.”

“thanks.”

“And if you don’t like it, why don’t you just ask the count, Young-ae? Young-ae really likes you.”

“That would be a little difficult.”

A few years ago, when I was 6 years old.

Ray went to the Countess and shouted:

Jimmy’s agent, one of the five heads of the Count’s Dark House, has come to meet the Count!

He was clearly a madman no matter who he caught and asked.

Even at that time, he was half crazy and gambled, but if Alessia, who was passing by the front door, wasn’t curious about Rey, there was a high probability that Rey would have been killed by a guard.

“You’re the tomboy daughter that the Count cherishes, so it’s better to go to the Count in person if you’re going to be clumsy. Alessia doesn’t like talking to me these days.”

“Didn’t Young-ae like you?”

“After I started learning noble etiquette in earnest, I try not to make eye contact.”

“I know what’s going on.”

Around the age of 10, children of noble families learn various disciplines to become ‘real nobles’, and from this point on, their awareness of ‘status’ is solidified.

‘Aristocratic mulberry? identity bastard? Well, I’ll fill you up with stuff like that.’

Are you of noble blood? What is the duty of nobles and what is the duty of the things below?

It was a necessary class to become a leader in a class-based society.

In any case, Alesia, who had just started receiving proper aristocratic education, was at a time when her status was at its peak.

‘Recently, it seems that they thought of me as something similar to an unclean bug…’

It reminded me of the time when I was talking to each other with my eyes lit up, and I was a little sarcastic.

It’s hard for a little boy with no blood on his head to learn how to ignore people.

Rey, who continued to drink the rest of the car, got up from his seat.

“I’ll stop. I’ll have to go to the blacksmith.”

“Lay.”

Matthew, who stopped Ray, asked.

“I’ll keep looking for the information you want as long as it’s not dangerous. So, for nothing, don’t get into an accident. Please.”

“Don’t worry, Matthew. When did I go through an ‘unmanageable’ accident?”

“Don’t reverse the causal relationship. Our necks are still attached beautifully because we have managed to fix it somehow.”

Ray giggled and left the office waving his hand.

Jimmy and Matthew rubbed their faces side by side, feeling a headache.

“I’m going to die from this stress. I want to give up on my title and everything and go home.”

“This is the place where I have already gone to paradise once, Captain.”

“Oh my God.”

There is no paradise where you escape.

Recalling what a legendary swordsman once said, Jimmy made a worm-eaten expression.

*

There is only one blacksmith in this area that makes proper weapons.

Ray went to the blacksmith’s smithy, where the sound of knocking iron and hot heat flowed, and looked around the sales counter and found a space where the sword was displayed.

The man who was guarding the sales counter stopped Rey, who was trying to sneak up on him and draw his sword.

“Kids go. Weapons can only be bought by adults who have been identified.”

Blinking, Ray turned around and wondered if he should bring Jim or Matthew to the smithy.

‘tt. It’s annoying, but I can’t help it.’

When Ray was about to get up from his seat, the man who was looking at the farm equipment shouted in amazement.

“Huh! You’re an orphan collector, Rey!”

So far this has happened occasionally.

Jimmy, who has a back alley in his hand, and Ray, who constantly picks up orphans at the orphanage he runs, were quite famous among citizens.

“Ray? Ray? Did you say Ray now?”

But Ray had overlooked it.

That there has been an event that will cause a significant change in rumors in recent years.

When the customers who were looking at the blacksmith’s items heard Ray’s name, they were startled and stepped back.

“Heo Eok! It’s the real Ray! Jimmy’s secret weapon!”

“Rei? Is that the killing machine that was raised to be an emotionally annihilated assassin?”

“He said he had torn up dozens of hostile gang members by himself!”

“Oh my God! Jimmy, that villain doesn’t even fear the sky! How did he raise such a monstrous creature!”

Heck, you’re talking shit.

Rey shook her head and pulled out a sword that was on display.

When the sharp swordsman appeared, the customers of the forge started a game and ran away.

“…”

The man at the sales stand, who was left alone, slowly stepped backwards and made eye contact with Ray.

Ray asked.

“Can I look at the sword?”

“Look, look!”

“No, well, yes, I’ll take a look at the sword.”

Rey shook her head once more and flicked the sword with her fingers.

I did it for no reason. Rei did not know how to appraise the sword.

‘Put a little bit of mana and buy it if there is no problem.’

gang!

The center of the intact swordsman snapped by myself and fell to the ground.

“…”

“…”

The man at the sales counter shook his head, met Ray’s eyes again, and hurriedly crawled under the counter.

“…there was a flaw.”

gang!

gang!

gang!

After breaking the fourth sword, Rey turned to look at the rusty sword he had always carried.

It was rusted here and there and was treated as junk, but it was only then that Rei realized the truth that it was quite a luxury item in the past.

‘The composition and density of the metal are not uniform, so cracks occur when mana is injected.’

“How about this?”

what about how I’ll keep running it until I get a decent one.

After reincarnating, one of the real gachas is Ray, who is making a fuss.

Without hesitation, he reached out with his next sword, and a thick hand gripped Rey’s slender wrist.

“I thought even the knights were visiting, but he was a kid. The rumors don’t seem to be in vain.”

Rey shrugged and asked.

“I was introduced to Jimmy, do you have any good swords?”

“We do not treat high-end goods enough to be delivered to the permanent residence.”

The blacksmith, stroking his overgrown beard, turned into the smithy.

“But since you’re using Jimmy’s name, I’ll have to give you a sack.”

Rey, who received the sword and slightly drained mana, nodded and looked around his waist.

“How much can I give you?”

“200 gold.”

Ray’s expression wrinkled.

“I know that the long swords displayed outside do not even cost 10 gold.”

“Doesn’t it look like the one I gave you isn’t worth twenty syntheses hanging outside?”

“Damn it. If it’s ripped off, I’ll bring Jimmy back next time.”

“Next time, consider the regular discount.”

In the end, Rey, who had all the money he had, put his swords on both sides of his belt and went out on the street again.

“Eww.”

Anyway, I got the sword, so that’s it.

As I was contemplating whether I should return to the orphanage, I saw a woman running down the street.

What I couldn’t help but notice was that the woman was rushing through the crowd, adorned with very fancy clothes and accessories compared to the others.

Plus, he was barefoot.

Rei, who looked closely at the woman, wondering if she had a headache, narrowed her eyes and muttered.

“What? Is it salad?”

I’ve had a few opportunities to see each other, as Sallot’s younger brother is working on Lilac’s evening.

“Didn’t you say you worked in Yeongjuseong?”

Rey, who felt puzzled, grabbed Sallot, who was running around.

“Callot.”

“What?! Who…!! Ah, ah? Ah! Rei, Rei!”

“Hello, Sallot. Do you have any problems?”

“Ah! So! Ray, please help me. I’ll definitely do the case.”

“Calm down and explain what’s going on.”

Charlotte’s story was of the kind that often happened in the past.

Because Alessia, a tomboy girl, mistreated the user and went missing.

The question is, at best, is it that the disappearance that occurred within Yeongju Fortress happened outside of Yeongju Fortress?

After stopping by a high-end clothing store and being forced to paint by Alesia’s coercion, Salott ran out into the street as soon as she realized that Alesia had disappeared.

Ray kept a smile that seemed as friendly as possible to the panting Charlotte.

“It’s okay, Sallot. It’s not too late yet.”

“Is it? Are you around… Those Jimmy-sama’s friends? Can you find a girl with those people?”

“Callot, don’t be shy, just calm down.”

Ray hardened her voice with a smile on her face.

“Go back to the Count right now and inform him that Alessia is gone.”

“Rei! Then I…!”

“At best, you’ll get a bit of a beating or a few months’ pay cut. I know what you’re trying to say. Alesia wouldn’t have gone far anyway, this neighborhood is safe, and if you find it, you can start a peaceful tomorrow as if nothing had happened. .”

However, just in case.

If time passes without Salot finding Alesia, and Alesia gets involved in some accident in the meantime.

“Salot, don’t risk your life for this. I’m asking you to go back to the count right now and report that the tomboy girl has disappeared. Even for the sake of the family.

Sallot bit his mouth tightly and nodded hard.

“Okay. That’s right. Thanks for letting me come to my senses. But can I ask you one more thing? Would you like to find her too? She loved you, so maybe she’ll get along.”

“Okay. Let’s go back before it’s too late.”

After receiving confirmation from Rey a few more times, Sallot started running to the place where the permanent residence was.

After stretching and stretching out, Ray scratched the back of his neck and looked to the north.

“It’s no big deal. Uh… If only I hadn’t climbed the mountain.”

There is a small back mountain in the lord’s castle of the Earl of Phillips.

It is small in size and there are no wild animals living there, so even if a child climbs on it, there is no problem if you are careful about hypothermia.

It would have been safe for anyone to climb it if only the Signi Mountains extending northward were not attached to the side of the small back mountain.

“…Isn’t the situation a bit odd?”

Recalling the adventures and treasures that the immature noble lady always cried for, Rey pulled out the newly purchased sword halfway and put it back in.

Well, I’ll try climbing some mountaineering too.

if only if.

I didn’t know it would be a good opportunity to lay down on the Earl of Phillips a long-awaited debt .
