Living as an Unemployed in Another World
Chapter 13
13 – 1. Mule’s Footsteps (13)
13.
Adventurer Dylan raised his voice towards the poor guild employee.
“X-foot, why the hell are you saying you can’t give me a request! Those few fish heads, I alone have enough!”
“However, Mr. Dylan, according to our guild policy, individual subjugation of 10 or more monsters is prohibited. The number of Kua-Toa colonies reported along the coast is approximately 15 or more. You must form a party of two or more, including a wizard or an archer.”
“So you’re saying you’re not relieved because you’re going to die if you do it alone? Don’t you know who i am Not too long ago, I killed three naga who couldn’t even compare to a kua-toa with one harpoon!”
The guild staff kept breathing in and out so he couldn’t hear them. He didn’t know if he’d utter a harsh curse that would provoke him. Of course, it was unreasonable to see Dylan’s claim as completely unreasonable. If you compare him with the party who went to carry out a request of similar difficulty immediately, it was hard to see that he, who was alone, was necessarily inferior in performance compared to them.
However, a policy is a policy. And for Dylan, who relies on strength and close-range weapons, more than a dozen Kua-Toa are no easy opponents. Depending on the entity, they use small-scale magic or use arrow-sized harpoons. As a mediocre employee, he was aware of it, so it was hard to believe that Dylan was unaware of it.
Of course, Dylan wasn’t just pushing himself. Normally, he was not the kind of person who would make a fuss easily, although he was known for being rather loud. It was probably after he was kicked out of the adventurer party he worked with that he changed like this.
Rumors had already spread within the guild that Dylan had robbed his money after going wild on the ‘Golden Mule’ and assaulting his comrades. From that day on, he had great difficulty organizing parties.
Of course, the rumors were true. He pretended to distribute the money he received from the guild fairly, and he slipped the few silver coins he received from his captain into his pocket and spent it on fitting his gear. But what does that mean? When his comrades shoot arrows from a distance, it is he who actually kills the naga.
It’s true that he beat up Timmy while drunk, but Dylan didn’t understand why his image hit rock bottom because he didn’t kill anyone. While working as an adventurer, he did not take the iron rules between adventurers seriously. I thought that I was the real adventurer who wielded an ax bravely in the yard where the insignificant idiots were installing swordsmen and archers, but…… That was a mistake. No matter how good their skills were, there was no way that a colleague who worked with them and an adventurer who easily pretended to be friends could not make them.
Unaware of this fact, Dylan is acting out of control, claiming to take on a high-priced request alone, even with the money he siphoned off. However, the guild staff, though weak, were resolute, and he eventually withdrew while receiving stinging glares from other adventurers.
“f*ck you, I’ll leave this guild. I can go out on my own.”
He clicked his tongue and walked away from his window. Had it not been for this situation, he would have tried a dungeon with artifacts at least once, like other adventurers. In the end, he was forced to accept easy requests that he could do solo, and he had to stick them in his mouth.
As he made his way toward the exit, roughly cutting through the crowds and muttering goddamn curse words, his eyes were suddenly caught by the familiar back of his head pushing him.
“…… Jin?”
Yes, Jin, that bastard. Compared to himself, he has a lanky, unkempt physique, masculine black hair, and even a white face! It must have been the damned guy who was responsible for all of this.
He wondered why he was famous for not coming out of the inn, but he soon decided not to care. The important thing was the fact that he, who was like a fierce enemy to him, was within reach right now.
‘If you think about it, everything got messed up because of that bastard. If I don’t beat up that face like a parasitic brother, I won’t feel better.’
Dylan completely forgot that he had caused a disturbance at the inn first and that he was not getting any work because he stole the money from his colleagues, and had already put all the blame on him. Dylan’s narrow brain spun with rage and mean lust. After leaving the inn after Jin, he took a quick step and licked his lips.
Dylan followed him with a stride unbefitting of his size. In my mind, I wanted to grab the guy’s small back of the head with my big hands and slam it into the wall, but if I did, the guards, blinded by the achievements, would come running handfuls at me. He was not tall enough to work in the middle of the city.
Fortunately, as he blindly chased after him and cooled his head, another emotion took over instead of anger. Even when he saw Jin walking towards a place with fewer and fewer crowds as if to lure him in, Dylan did not readily attack. Ironically, his reason was gradually returning because base desire filled his heart instead of anger.
‘Yes, I have to kill half of them here to take my anger out. Since it’s like this, I’ll follow you to the inn and beat you up when you don’t have eyes to see.’
He had already finished the calculations in his mind. If he was his usual self, he wouldn’t have been able to go wild in that f*cking old inn, which is also a castle for adventurers. It was a story that often circulated among adventurers that the ‘golden mule’ was flying only flies.
If there are no adventurers, who can stop them? Dylan didn’t understand how other guys were embarrassed by the one-legged innkeeper, who was said to be a former adventurer, as well as Jin. If you chop off the limbs with an axe like that, you’ll be able to make him a one-armed man in no time.
If that happens, only her frightened Celine and her mother and daughter will be left at the inn. Dylan licked his lips, feeling his lower leg stiffen just by imagining it. It was the days when I was hanging around in front of the Changgwan, unable to even think of earning money on my own, as the hostess’ alluring figure flickered in front of my eyes while I was still listening to ‘Song of the Siren’. Not only was the angsty girl, but even her mother was famous for her beauty and body, which were comparable to those of the beauties of many cities. If you give out a bowl of muk to two unique men, wouldn’t they be able to do it without spreading their legs?
After enjoying such a game, all you have to do is to leisurely take the money and silver coins and get out of the inn. What would he do if the incompetent village bastards calling themselves the guards came belatedly, he would have already left this village, no, the territory. Dylan gave a sly smile. He was now chasing Silly and following him.
Jin wanted to head towards the outskirts of the city, but soon stopped near a bakery. After looking around, he talked to a young man who had just come out of the bakery, sat down side by side on the coachman’s seat, and got into the wagon.
Dylan, who was watching the scene, deliberately kept a little distance, and on the spot himself arranged for a wagon passing Cornfield and rode into the hold. His rugged appearance and size, and even the armament of two axes worn around his waist. The identity of an adventurer was quite useful when arranging a wagon to travel long distances. He guaranteed safety instead of making things a little harder.
A pungent smell pierced his nose from the cracks in the sacks that were piled full of spices, but Dylan didn’t care and lay down over them. If you endure a little bit, you can achieve all of the silver coins that the miser couple have accumulated, a beauty you can’t taste at any other window shop, and even revenge on your enemies. Even while coughing, he stretched out his legs like a man who had already achieved his longing.

Time passed, and the wagon carrying Jean and Isaac returned to the village through the hills of Cornfield. The same was true of Dylan’s wagon. He finally spoke to the driver of the carriage that followed.
“I’m getting off here. Thanks for the ride.”
“Oh, thanks to Nari, the adventurer, I came without any worries. Go carefully.”
The coachman, who seemed a little frightened by Dylan’s appearance, crouched in greeting, and he got out of the luggage compartment with a smile. It seems that Jin has already entered the inn, and as expected, there are no passers-by around her. He erased her presence a little and slowly approached her through the back door.
“Huh? There is no one to come…… Jin, is that you? Wait look at me! I’ve been doing laundry all day, really…… !”
Hiding behind a tree near her backyard and waiting, Celine, who was hanging clothes on her clothesline, opened her back door and entered. Dylan just smiled. She must be happy tonight, seeing the body that even baggy clothes can hardly hide.
I confirmed that Jin and Celine were at the inn. The problem is whether there are other guests, but judging from Celine’s lines, it seems that there are no guests or there are not enough noise to hear. Dylan strode towards the back door and put his hand on the doorknob. At that time, Jin and Celine’s voices are heard through the crack in the door.
“Celine.”
“What. Do you think everything will be solved if you call my name? Why are you a kid in the first place…….”
“Mr. Cooper and Ms. Angela aren’t back yet, are they?”
“Huh? Ok, but…… Why. What else to say…….”
“Wait a minute, go up to your room.”
“My, my room? Why all of a sudden… ….”
“Don’t come down until I say I’m done, lock the door and wait quietly, okay?”
“What? …… Huh, huh, no, Jin. Hopefully now…….”
I don’t know what they’re talking about because the voice cuts off infrequently. However, seeing the sound of footsteps going up the stairs to the second floor, it seems that only Jin is left in the hall.

Now is your chance. He opened the back door with a cautious movement. When the door was fully opened, Dylan’s large silhouette proudly appeared. The hall was dead quiet. There were no customers, and there was no sign of food on the table. Seeing that the host couple were nowhere to be seen, it seemed that there were only three people in this large inn. Only the creaking noise Dylan made when he moved was struggling in the stillness. He put his hand on the hilt of his ax and…… Something is strange.
Dylan’s trained senses send a signal. Obviously visually no one can find it. Both olfactory and auditory. You can see nothing, hear nothing, and smell nothing, but you know that something is nearby.
X-shot, Dylan cursed and gripped the ax handle tightly. What are you nervous about? Even when I heard the screams of the naga, I had never been so sweaty. Magic? Curse? Thousands of imaginations tormented his narrow brain, but he never confirmed them.
My vision is tilted. It’s because Dylan’s knee is down. The sunset sunlight comes through the entrance red like blood. The shadows gradually stretch. Weird. He had nowhere to run. Shall we run out the back door? Dylan grew increasingly afraid to turn his head. Then face to face? Do you know what lies beyond that swing door?
Anxiety and fear seized him, and he finally had no choice but to draw his arms. Forgetting his original purpose of ambush, he took a deep breath and looked around him with bloodshot eyes. And…… He looked back at him, ready to swing his ax at any moment.
There was nothing there. I should have felt relief. It has to be. Dylan…… This time I looked straight ahead.
“Hello?”
He stood with his back to the sunset. Jin, a face like a parasitic brother, was standing in the middle of the hall with a bag in the middle of the hall, holding a flask. Dylan couldn’t understand for a moment. Was it just that he was so frightened of him? To a skinny guy like that who could run right up and slit his throat? Arming himself with seething anger, the moment Dylan was about to take a step forward.
Why did I finally see that the flask was open? Dylan looked back again as if possessed.
The background confirmed that there was obviously nothing. At that place.
“⸮Nyeongan”
There was an abyss.
There was a creature in the form of endless darkness, shadows, and a terrifying abyss.
It didn’t appear. As it had been there from the beginning, it gradually took shape.
It spoke like eating Jin’s tone, eating space and existing there, and the next thing to eat was,
“Buy, live.”
“Ryeosal, buy.”
Poor Dylan. He gazed into the abyss for so long that he was sucked into the abyss.
With her sunset on her back, Jin looked at the scene of the empty hall and closed the stopper on her. Putting the flask back in his bag, he trudged up the stairs as if nothing had happened…….
“Ah.”
He hurried down the stairs, carefully shut the open back door, and muttered quietly.
“Everything is twisted, it still makes me feel dirty… ….”
Soon, the inn was enveloped in complete silence.
