I Can See Your Code

I see your code (77)

A back alley in Layton. There, a vagrant was lying on the floor, shaking his body. It looked very serious at first glance, but the faces of the men in armor around him were filled with only absurd emotions.

“I can’t understand at all. It’s probably not the first time I’ve seen other people suffer, so why does this guy keep coming out?”

“Well… … . To be honest, I do understand.”

At the mustache man’s words, the bald-haired man shook his head and pointed to the vagrant. His pants are slightly wet as if he was tired of peeing, and the smell of exhaustion vibrates everywhere.

“Do you understand that? Did you even drink during the day?”

“… … It’s not that I understand that figure, it’s that I understand the feeling. Where are the magic tools that wander around alone? How can you sell once you succeed in stealing?”

He said, pointing to the round cylindrical object with the mustache groaning. It’s a magic tool called ‘Nuri’ made by Rian Sanghoe. I’m in charge of Layton’s sanitation, and the thieves sometimes… … The problem is that it comes up often.

No one succeeds, only humans who are stunned by the security lightning magic keep appearing, so maybe these children lack the ability to learn… … . The bald-haired clicked his tongue.

“It’s just a matter of trying. No matter how tight money is, how can you buy the things the saint has given you… … .”

“You’re a saint. Are you saying that too?”

His mustache gave him a slightly chilled expression. The baldhead looked at it and frowned.

“Then is there another way to express it? Half the people of Layton owe him their life.”

“… … Half of it is a bit exaggerated.”

“It’s not serious at all. Isn’t he actually doing everything to feed the orphans left in the city? In addition, since that magic tool cleaned up Layton, the number of deaths from disease has decreased by half. Needless to say, the situation ended two years ago. Would you even call this an exaggeration?”

“Okay, okay. that’s true I didn’t know you were a believer too.”

devotee. It is a term that is not often used on the continent.

The reason is that, ironically, there are hundreds of gods in the world. An empire or a kingdom, regardless of culture, all are the same polytheism. As such, conversion is freer than expected, and it is even recommended in some temples.

For this reason, those who fervently believe in and follow only one god are rather treated differently. Of course, it would be crazy for a pope or an apostle or a saint to be converted… … .

However, this half-forgotten word has recently begun to be in the spotlight at Layton.

It is because of the existence of Rihanna and his company.

“Be a believer… … I will not deny It’s a really nice word to hear.”

“… … Did you get anything to eat there?”

“I did get something. Not me, but my daughter.”

“… … daughter?”

The mustache, thinking what was going on, hardened his expression for a moment. It was only then that I remembered that the bald head had been dispatched to the outside during the war and had only recently returned.

The bald head looked at Nuri affectionately and said.

“After being hospitalized for 7 years with serious injuries, I honestly gave up hope that my family would be alive. Because Layton was famous. Even his wife was ill, and a daughter, a three-year-old infant.”

“… … .”

“But as soon as I got better, I crawled into Layton. A glimmer of hope remained. As expected, his wife fell ill and died… … My daughter is alive thanks to her being hired by the Lian Chamber of Commerce.”

“… … is it.”

“okay. If it hadn’t been for the saint, I would have returned at most to see two corpses.”

“… … I’m sorry. I spoke rudely.”

The bald-headed smiled and waved his hand.

“Okay. That was a long talk. Hurry up, that guy is imprisoned and go see the manager or give it to him.”

“… … Should I be imprisoned? I don’t really want to take it.”

The mustache frowned as he looked at the wet pants of the bum. A sad story is a story, and he was afraid that he would pee for nothing. The bald head shook his head and said firmly.

“Because rules are rules. Isn’t it a principle to catch issues that cannot be agreed upon first? All right, I’ll raise your arm. Unless you want to be like the thugs who were vigilantes with only that pattern two years ago.”

“eww… … I see.”

So, after the two of them were imprisoned and reported.

In the vigilante leader’s office, Gyre Terberotz grabbed his forehead and shook his head.

“… … There are not enough cells.”

Even the vagabond who had just been caught was just dropped in a corner of the hallway. There are not even enough people to supervise. How can this be called imprisonment? It’s just accommodation. When you wake up from being stunned, you’ll sneak out.

“after… … .”

Gyre Terberotz rummaged through the piles of papers on the desk. The biggest problem is the existence of a cleaning magic tool called Nuri. He roams around Layton, and there are more than ten people caught trying to steal it this week alone.

That too, thanks to the story that ‘Saint of Layton’ came down, that’s it, if it had been made by Noblesse, the number would have been a thousand.

“… … .”

Anyway, this is not what you think. Where are the guys who poop and those who clean up? Isn’t it even a situation where the person who gives praise eats and the person who removes cursing eats it?

Finally, unable to bear it, Zaire Terberotz got up and put on his coat.

“Who is out there?”

“Yes, chief.”

The door opened and a vigilante came in.

“Tell it to the Lian Chamber. The vigilante leader has something to say, so that commoner… … Get Rihanna ready.”

“Are you saying the saint?”

“Not a saint, but Rihanna.”

“Yes. Okay. I will pass it on to the saint.”

“… … .”

Gyre Terberotz looked at the man leaving with an exasperated face. Is that a vigilante member or an employee of the Lian Chamber of Commerce?

“after… … .”

get sick or die Without saying a word, he headed towards the Lian Chamber. After all, talking is something you have to do with him.

* * *

“So what do you say?”

“… … .”

Lian, who had a sullen expression on his face, responded bluntly. Gyre Terberots had a desire to scream outside.

The cub you call you the saint is actually like this!

Of course I wouldn’t really do it. It’s against face, and if you talk like that in Layton right now, there’s a high chance you’ll be stoned to death.

“Isn’t that the problem that there is a person who poops and a person who cleans it up? Do you know how short of manpower is because of what you enjoy?”

“It’s not the pooping tool you enjoy. It’s a cleaning tool.”

“I’m not saying that because you don’t know that. The manpower consumed because of that… … .”

“You want Layton to be shit?”

The words came out of nowhere, and Zaire Terberots was speechless for a moment.

“that is… … Why is that?”

“You came here to destroy our Nuri now. If Nouri doesn’t clean up Layton, the city will soon become a shithole.”

“… … Are we?”

What kind of magic tool… … . Gyre Terberots resisted the urge to lick Rihann’s head. Because it was obvious that I would lose no matter what I tried. The kid he used to tease about his low magic pass two years ago had reached the crazy level of 4th grade… … .

“I didn’t come here to dispose of it. I just… … .”

“You just need to walk through Noblesse Street, right? They say it doesn’t matter what the common people are.”

“No, not that… … .”

“When I said I was going to be a vigilante, I thought I was just now. After all, it was just Noblesse’s playing house.”

“… … not that.”

“And now I’m here to ask you, if you tell me that you’re coming and you’re going to follow me right away, why are people sending you away? Didn’t you see the vigilantes face you and bewildered before?”

“… … .”

Let’s talk, you bastard. Zyre, who had forgotten the face of Noblesse and almost screamed like that, calmed down and opened his mouth.

“… … First of all, it is common sense for aristocrats to send people before visiting.”

“You are not noble. Not me either.”

“… … I’m trying to be like him. Being a vigilante is one of the reasons.”

“Imitate only the good. Only good things.”

Ryan got up from his chair and clicked his tongue.

He said so, but he knew that Zyre was suffering quite a bit.

Usually, the cost of policing, such as the police, comes from taxes. But in Layton, where there is no government, who pays and distributes taxes?

After all, as the name suggests, the vigilante group operates almost as a volunteer. Although it is receiving subsidies from the Ryan Chamber of Commerce and Noblesse, it must be at a level that does not send any message to that extent.

From Zaire’s point of view, it’s just heartbreaking.

“I know what you’re talking about, but I can’t raise subsidies any more. Do you know how much money it costs to expand beyond these days?”

“… … Wouldn’t it be good for you if Layton’s security goes up?”

“It’s a good thing. Most of the employees of the company are from Layton, and there are many businesses that are run inside. But do you really have no money?”

“… … I heard rumors that they were raked in money with a rake.”

“The money swept up with a rake is like pouring water into the bottom of the poison. Anyway, I can’t increase it now. Go to your father and beg him.”

“… … Is it really not enough?”

“Yeah, no.”

“… … I get it.”

Gyre Terberots muttered in a muffled voice.

“I know you are doing a lot for Layton… … . It may not be wrong to say that I am a saint… … . I guess I was trying to make an unreasonable request… … . just forget… … .”

“… … .”

“I just hoped that commoners could live a little more safely… … .”

“… … .”

이 개새끼가 근데. Rihann squeezed his temples and thought about how much extra money he had.

But no matter how much I thought about it, there was no cost that could be deducted. It’s a situation where you’re all in for investing in your family. It’s also just one of those things.

Finally, as she sighed and was about to say no, a not-so-bad idea popped into Rihanna’s head.

“By the way, you guys, aren’t there enough people?”

“What is lacking is people. If you increase the subsidy, I was going to hire you with it.”

“Then it’s fine. Just in time, there are people playing in our house. I will apply for people, so you only need to provide them with a place to stay.”

“… … I’m sorry, but no vigilantes can do it. You have to have power and you have to have trust.”

“Don’t worry. Because they have enough power or trust.”

Rihann said while thinking of the rice bugs playing at home.

“They are all knights.”
