Living as an Unemployed in Another World

42 – 2. The Path of the Dagger (23)

23.

“Wait a minute, how do I solve this…….”

Seeing Jin squatting down in front of herself and trying to untie the rope, Mira felt her face heat up. It won’t be because the blood rushed to his swollen cheeks. Fully aware of her emotions, she felt ashamed to be sprawled on the floor in this situation.

“Wait a minute, I need to get a separate blade…… Uh?”

Tuduk, suddenly there was the sound of her bones coming out of Mira’s shoulder joint. Unlike Jin, who was shocked and flustered, Mira twisted her body around with her calm expression, and then she completely removed one of her arms, put it back on, and untied the rope herself. With both of her hands free, she sees her mummy undoing the straps that tied her ankles by herself, and her gin looks at her with a dumbfounded expression.

What can I say, untying the tight rope was also the teacher’s teaching. She said it would be a means of seizing an opportunity when captured by the enemy, but this is the first time she has ever done it in real combat.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

It’s hard to believe she’s all right when you think of what she’s been through in these two days, including her fitted arms. But from the outside, she doesn’t look too badly hurt.

This is the secret of the potion. When her polymorph (transformation) is released, the damage from her previous body remains, but the scars on her skin and back are mostly gone. If her arm was cut off or her body was dismembered, it would remain intact even after she returned. Damage below that has little effect.

Mira turned her arm around to check her body condition. The truth is that she’s tired of being bound and beaten for two days, and she’s going to sit down at any moment, but she can’t show such rudeness in front of the man she likes. She smiled forcefully.

“Don’t stare too hard. It’s a mess right now.”

“Uh, uh yeah.”

“By the way, what was the woman like earlier? I may have seen the wrong thing.”

“That…… I’ll tell you later.”

“Yes.”

Mira laughed and picked up the dagger replica that had fallen to her floor. She doesn’t bother to ask how she managed to sneak into her mansion and come to her rescue. She didn’t even have to. She spreads her arms and pulls her jeans into her own arms and holds them tight. His body temperature, the sound of his breath, the smell, he was sucked into all the senses he had trained as a thief.

Jin silently patted her on the back. To tell you her true intentions, she wanted time to stop like this. But she couldn’t stay like that forever. Time is always tight and reality is always cruel. She didn’t hide her regret, but Mira walked away from him and quickly got into a pose.

“Run away.”

“…… What?”

“Now, when no one guards the door, this is an opportunity. Go down the stairs while I guard the hallway. If you go to the outbuilding, there is a wall overgrown with vines across the garden. This is the route I took when I came here. If you ride it and run…….”

“You.”

“What?”

“What are you going to do?”

Mira smiled bitterly at Jin, who was looking at herself with her straight face. It was a dreamy time, but little had changed in her plan. At midnight, they come. In order to kill even one more person, it is absolutely impossible to fight to protect it. Anything precious she had to keep away from herself.

“Sorry.”

Mira apologized. She didn’t forget anything either. Even so, it has to be like this.

“Still, I was happy.”

Bang! After saying that, Mira kicks her door open. As she knew, there was no one near the door. However, a guard standing at the end of the hallway saw this and shouted something. I could feel the presence of people on the stairs. People will come soon. If you run away, now is your chance.

“I will open the way. Jin, run out of the gap!”

Mira reversed her grip on the wooden dagger that Jin had given her. It’s durability is weak and the blade doesn’t stand, so it’s hardly usable as a weapon. Still, she never lets go of it.

And Jin-eun, even after seeing such a scene, he didn’t move even one step back. When she heard the guards sense and come up——she smiled wickedly.

“Let’s run away.”

“Huh?”

Boom! In an instant he pulled the flask out of his bag, unplugged it, and tossed it down the hallway. Empty! The container, which seemed to be made of glass, flew for a long time and fell on the floor without breaking, but dark smoke slowly rose from the narrow opening.

“Don’t look back, run!”

“What, what are you doing!? What is that!?”

“Abyss.”

I heard a scream behind me. The place where the monster who swallowed the adventurer who had the intention of killing him in one shot lives. The guards are doing their job, so they won’t die, but they won’t be fine either. To put it likewise, I have to face the ugliest part of me naked.

Jin grabbed Mira’s rough hand and ran. Even though she was much slower than he was, she just kept looking at his back.

I did everything I had to do.

So, from now on, it was the priests’ turn to play an active part.

The mansion is noisy. It wasn’t until fifteen minutes after the Count had had useless chatter with the heretic inquisitor about the situation in the church and capital that he felt that fact.

The Count looked up and then gave his gaze to the butler standing behind him and sent him out of the drawing room without a word. However, that was an obvious mistake. As his eyes were diverted elsewhere, he didn’t notice that the Heretic Questioner raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

“The mansion is noisy.”

“Yeah, sorry to bother you. I guess, I’ll go and check…….”

“Ah, you are here for a moment.”

For a moment, the Count had the illusion that he was talking to someone else. It was because the man’s mood changed in an instant. He wore a clergyman’s mask with a smirk on his face, and before he knew it, he had a ferocious look under his gray hair.

“What is that…….”

“Sit down.”

Thump! In an instant, the count collapsed on the sofa as if he were falling backwards. It wasn’t his will. An action that clearly involved an external force. The Count looked at the man in surprise, and he rubbed his dark eyes and took off his spectacles and laid them on the table.

“Oh, I was hesitant because I was afraid I would be rude to the nobles…… Are you okay?”

“What is this…….”

“What is it, proof that you are worshiping an evil spirit?”

Not only the tone of voice, but each word had a will. The heretic inquisitor shrugged his shoulders, and the knight sat still and nodded his head. He soon gets up from his seat and trudges toward the count. However, the senile body does not move as if it is caught in a spell.

“If knights fight, we judge. My commandments are effective only for special people…… If you were a pure human being, I would have just been rude. Seeing how well you listen now…… What should I say?”

“What is this!”

“That makes me nauseous.”

Boom! The count’s furrowed brow slammed into the table. It was not a commandment. I just grabbed the back of the head from above and pressed it with force. He groans and the blood from his torn forehead soaks the table.

“Keuk, kkeuk…” … !”

“About 20 years, no, a little less? If you didn’t spend that much time for yourself…… Who did you attach it to? Didn’t you think the efficiency was too bad?”

He continued as if it didn’t matter whether the Count could afford to listen or not.

“A rough glance, more than sixty people were sacrificed. That much shredded life remains as evidence in your body. What did Zulkar say? Who swallowed up those huge years alone, and who did you survive with a life the size of a rat?? Tell me.”

“I will formally protest against the church!”

As the count squeezed out his voice with his head down, the heretic questioner let out a laugh. He no longer hid his feelings. He shrugged his shoulders and laughed loudly before finally looking out the door.

“I see. But before that…….”

The guards, noticing the commotion, hurriedly opened the parlor door without knocking. The Count lying on the floor, bleeding, and the Heretic Inquisitor standing behind him. The circumstances were clear with nothing to hide. In an instant, swords and spears surrounded them in all directions and pushed them toward them.

“Well, I guess I’ll have to continue the interrogation…… How are you, are you confident?”

As expected, the only paladin did not answer. Without a weapon, he stood up from his seat with his bare hands and stood between them and the Heretic Questioner.

And.

“…… Ah?”

Someone made a sound like that in a near-immediate situation.

It was because of the paladin’s right hand, which was clearly not holding anything, that a long handle was formed after a cluster of lights landed on it. Window? Pole? Looking at its length, anyone would guess that.

But…… The story is different if what hangs at the end is a huge lump of metal with a pattern engraved on it.

No matter who came first, he opened his mouth involuntarily. A piece of iron the size of a human torso slowly rises from the floor hanging from a pole over 1 meter tall. And everyone was astonished and despaired at the unrealistic strength that made it possible.

Boo-wook! ‘It’ ripped through the air and ran through the room in an instant.

────That was too big to be a hammer.
