I Became the Companion of the Gods

105 – EP.24 Grand Casino -3

Yata and Cor leave to have another round, and the rest of the crew decide to go to a nearby bar to talk.

It also doubles as the natural healing of my right eye.

“So why was Alice here?”

“Of course, to help the boss.”

“You mean you infiltrated here to help me?”

“Right.”

“Well, I really appreciate your willingness to help, but I don’t think I’ve ever asked Alice for this task before?”

“It’s obvious. It’s because I’m a rabbit who usually follows Seobang-nim around. Didn’t you brazenly follow me this time?”

“I came voluntarily to help the boss. After all, I will be more useful to the boss than that violent fox that pokes eyes.”

“You are very different. A rabbit who can’t do anything except stalk and seduce you from behind.”

“I think it’s much better than a fox that hurts the boss.”

A fox and a rabbit stare at each other with their eyes wrinkled between their foreheads.

Their fight had begun again.

While thinking about when it would be over this time, I ordered a sweet drink from the bartender who was fixing his hair.

According to my experience, there is a 90% chance that a shrimp’s back will explode if you intervene in a fight between divine beasts.

It’s not for nothing that they say that if you stay still, more than half will go.

Besides, no matter what, there is no fight to the death because we both know that each other is an important person to me.

So, instead of stepping out, I decided to sip the drink I was given and watch the fight between the two.

Because I don’t want to suffer too.

“Ummm… ?”

What I ordered from the bartender must have been a sweet drink.

I can’t taste the sweetness, but I thought I would need sugar, so it was a strawberry drink I ordered.

So it’s normal to not have any taste, but for some reason a bitter taste lingered in my mouth.

Cacao is enough for chocolate, but it’s strange to feel bitterness in a strawberry drink.

The moment I had no choice but to call the bartender and ask what was added.

Miho grabbed my cup and drank the liquid in one go.

“Mi, Miho?”

“Looking at Seobang-nim’s expression, he seemed a little displeased, so I drank it once. Unsurprisingly, the drink has drugs in it.”

“Drugs in your drink?!”

“Yes, drugs that cause hallucinations and poisoning.”

The fact that I drank the drugged drink, I quickly tried to put my finger in my mouth.

Before that, Miho grabbed my wrist and shook his head as if it was not necessary.

“You don’t have to forcefully spit it out. It has no effect on you or me.”

“I even drank drugs, but it didn’t work? Why?”

“Have you forgotten that Mr. Seo is borrowing my abilities?”

“If your ability is hallucination… ah!!”

“My ability is to make anyone, other than Shinsu, see, feel, and deceive false things. However, trying to do something to us with drugs is nothing more than pleading in front of a chrysalis.”

“I see.”

“Therefore, factors that stimulate the nervous system, such as drugs and hypnosis, do not have any effect on us, so you can rest assured?”

It was only for a while to be relieved by Miho’s words and clear his troubled mind.

She made me think I should go after the bartender who tried to get me on drugs.

As if my thoughts had spread to others, Alice grabbed the bartender by the neck and subdued him.

At the same time, Miho snapped her fingers once, and in an instant changed the surroundings to a completely different space.

The bar, which was lined with various kinds of alcohol and glasses from around the world, has slowly turned into a dark and cold torture chamber.

“Do, help!!”

Astonished, the bartender shouted to the people around him for help.

However, darkly, no one around responded to the bartender’s request for help.

Originally, Miho’s ability is to create a fake world beyond simple hallucinations.

So even if the target of the ability was not a creature, it could be faked and deceived.

Not only the people nearby, but also all the CCTVs in the casino.

“Boss, the suppression is finished.”

“The torture tools are ready!”

“Yes, yes. Good job both of you.”

The combination of a fox and a rabbit, who stare at each other like that and fight, but when a common enemy appears, they get along very well.

I really don’t know if it’s a good relationship or a bad relationship.

Anyway, the priority now is to interrogate the bartender who cunningly mixed drugs with my drink.

“Uh, why… ?”

A bartender with a look of despair in a situation where no one helps him. Now he started to open his eyes wide as he looked at us.

Also, despite taking drugs, we not only maintained our normal condition, but also showed a miracle of changing the space.

It is common to be surprised at something that is nonsense.

“What? Why is no one coming to help me?! Hey! Look this way! Can’t you see I’m being held by these strange guys?”

“It’s no use. Because now you are invisible to anyone but us.”

“That sounds like a dog… ! More than that, let go of this! You bastard!!”

-Kwajik!

The bartender’s finger bones, which had been screaming, are crushed by the hammer in Miho’s hand.

“Aagh!!”

“Did you put your brain in a shaker and shake it? Don’t you know you’re in no position to say anything right now?”

“Turn it off… ! Hey you crazy bastards!! Just said a word and hit a person’s hand with a hammer… Aww!!”

“Looks like you haven’t grasped the situation, you should prioritize torture over interrogation.”

Alice gives the bartender more pain by breaking his joints.

Water started to pool in the eyes of the bartender who was screaming, and it was running down his cheek.

It was a common body reaction to express the pain because it could not stand the pain.

“These bastards… ! Never forgive! I do not forgive you!! No matter what happens, I will inform the boss and turn you all into fish food!!”

“Looks like you haven’t come to your senses yet.”

“I have to torture more….”

“What are you all doing~?”

The moment when the fox and the rabbit were about to do more to the bartender.

Tia, who was drinking orange juice in the distance, came up to us.

I was taken aback when Tia caught the scene where he tried to torture the bartender.

Miho skillfully and naturally deceived and informed the current situation to the extent that even a child could easily understand it.

The bartender is an ugly man, and they say that what they are doing is dressing up the ugly man.

Then, Tia started to light up her eyes brightly, and soon….

“Me too! Can I too?”

I have revealed my intention to participate in the war.

“Uh… ?”

“Of course.”

“You can do as much as you want.”

“Wait a minute?!”

“Yuu, can I do it too?”

“No, it’s not impossible, but….”

She was worried about what she would do if she thought she was embellishing what Miho and Alice had done.

If that happened, Tia might break her fingers or break her joints later to decorate her.

Something that might have to redo Tia’s education from scratch.

She tried to stop her because of that, but she stopped because of Tia’s sorrowful eyes.

Tia wonders what she’s going to do… She couldn’t help but feel anxious.

“hehehe~!”

“What, what? Who is this kid? Aren’t you going?”

“Mr. I’ll make you pretty!”

“Hey, can’t you hear me telling you to get out of here?”

“Wait a minute!”

Even with harsh words, Tia steadfastly approached the bartender…….

-Suddenly!

“Yes… ?”

She created a blade, and Tia, as it were, delicately shaved her bartender’s head.

Not a single strand of her hair was left.

“Peck! Become soft!”

A bartender who became a skinhead in an instant.

Tia was smiling brightly as she stroked his well-groomed hair.

“Ha… ! hahahaha… ! Yes, I must have taken drugs without my knowledge! It was like that!!”

“That’s amazing. The taste is gone.”

“It was a perfect finishing touch that I dare not copy.”

“Ehehehe! Puffy!”

The rough-mouthed bartender ended up choosing to escape from reality, and the rabbit and the fox each exclaimed exclamations when they saw him.

It was truly surprising that a man who had been rebellious to the end, no matter how much pain he inflicted, became incapacitated at once by Tia’s actions.

Looking back, I remember this male bartender always arranging his long hair.

As a guy who treasured his hair, the pain of losing it was something I could never put into words.

“Seobang-nim, be careful as much as possible.”

“Suddenly what?”

“Tia, maybe later he will shave off the boss’s head and build a nest on top of it.”

“Ah! That is a very unrealistic story.”

“Dragons usually have a habit of building nests in places they like.”

“Doesn’t Tia often ride on the boss’s head when she is in her baby dragon form?”

“Ah… No matter how much, Tia couldn’t do such a crazy thing…….”

I wasn’t sure.

I guess I’ll have to teach Tia how to build her nest when I go back home.

***

It was easy to extract information from a distraught bartender.

Perhaps he thought that everything happening now was an illusion created by drugs, because he blew all the information.

He was one of the members of the drug cartel that we were aiming for, and was in charge of administering and selling drugs to patrons in the bar.

As it is a place where greedy people gather, of course it is easy to become obsessed with drugs, and this is a VIP lounge, and rich tycoons say that it is their main source of money.

In other words, they drugged me to make it one of those sources of funding.

Due to Miho’s ability, the drugs are ineffective, so if it wasn’t for the absurd, it would have been a big deal.

Anyway, I also asked other questions such as the structure of the drug organization, the collaborators of the organization, and the specific goals of the organization.

Unfortunately, the bartender was a low-level person, so I couldn’t find out such in-depth information.

Still, I was able to extract all the information of the organization, so I finally took the first step in my mission.

It was a satisfactory result in its own way.

“Miho, I think I can get rid of the hallucination now.”

“Yes, by the way, what should I do with that man?”

“Well, it seems like it would be a headache if I came to my senses for no reason….”

“Boss, there is only one factor for a bartender’s mental collapse.”

“Okay, then let’s pretend there weren’t any scars and leave the head alone.”

“Okay!”

I’m sorry for him, but I hope he remains as Tia’s victim for a while.

Until Tia gets tired of the feel of skinheads.

“Then I will clear the hallucination?”

“Yes.”

The fake world created by Miho was slowly disappearing, and the landscape of the torture chamber was turning into a casino once again.

Now, all I have to do is combine the information I obtained and the information Yata must have obtained to narrow down the collaborators of the drug organization.

It may take some time, but it’s relatively easy and peaceful compared to the hit-and-run missions.

I thought I could do any number of missions like this, and returned to the real world with ease…….

“Kyaaah!!”

“Turn off the lights!!”

“What are you doing? Catch those b*tches first!!”

For some reason, there was an uproar here and there.

In the lounge, which was only gold, red was added, and instead of classical background music, it was filled with people screaming and shouting.

She was not only that, but there was an alluring brown-skinned woman who was being chased by the men in her suit….

“My dear, sorry! In the middle of a fight with the boss of the organization, I was caught messing around!!”

Looks like my crow had another accident.

“How can there not be a single peaceful day….”
