The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

7 – 007. The encounter with the sword star was the worst

After retrieving our luggage from the secret cave, René and I were walking along the road connecting the royal capital and the village.

He asked if it would be okay if the sky flew like the night before, but Renee refused, saying that her wings still hurt.

I was going to say that I knew she was faking it, but I agreed to see how long her lie would last.

“The weather is nice.”

“I am optimistic. Aren’t you worried that the hunters might come again?”

“It’s a little scary, but it’s okay. That’s right, Bern-sama is by my side!”

“I should have received a separate protection fee.”

“I heard that boys are middle class! Isn’t Bern-sama a man who changes his words lightly?”

Renee was appalled at the joke thrown indirectly, and brought up a plausible old saying.

He’s usually stupid, but he’s smart enough to get out of a crisis situation.

“I can’t even joke.”

“But all of Vern-sama’s words sound serious… … .”

Renee’s feelings are understandable.

Because I had never lied to her before.

“Shall I ask for money from you who have nothing to pay? Don’t worry, I won’t ask you for money in the future.”

“It’s not wrong, but it sounds strangely like I’m not going to make a dime.”

“Oh, did you learn mind reading?”

“Ugh… !”

Renee started complaining to me with slightly puffed cheeks.

The complaint seemed to be going on for quite some time, so I listened to her in one ear and passed it off in the other.

I would have thought that I would apologize for being sorry, but to be honest, I only had the impression that it was cute like a child who is being bullied.

“Did you say everything you wanted to say?”

“You weren’t listening to anything I said, were you?”

“huh!”

“… … Sometimes I have doubts about my abilities. Just looking at it, it seems like Bern is the axis of evil.”

“In life, there are people of this and that kind, so what?”

Renee’s sensing ability seems to have determined that I’m not an evil person.

It was an unexpected result. I never thought that I was good in my life.

I became more and more curious about the criteria for distinguishing good from evil in this world.

In fact, if the writer Ah Dok-Choi is a god and he judges good and evil, I want to commit suicide.

‘I can’t help but beg… … .’

I lightly cleared my stiff neck and shook my thoughts.

“But where are we going now?”

“huh? Didn’t I tell you the destination?”

“No!”

“Sorry, it seems I was mistaken. Anyway, the place we are going now is Satellite City Front.”

“A satellite city?”

“huh. It’s the closest city to the capital, and it’s famous for not having a lord who manages the land.”

“It’s a territory close to the kingdom, but how can there be no lord?”

“It is a land of miracles where disasters have not occurred for 300 years. That’s why His Majesty the previous King did not want self-interested nobles to pollute the land, so he handed over sovereignty to the villagers. Of course, tax collection is done the same as throughout the kingdom.”

Slowly tracing my memory, I talked about the settings for the satellite city front.

I don’t remember all of the contents of Adog Choi, but there were many things that came to mind as much as the front.

Because it was a place with a setting that is not often seen in the fantasy world.

“It is a strange place.”

“right? Surprisingly, not only that. Festivals are so frequent that the front is called the city of festivals.”

“How long have you been doing that?”

“Forty times a year.”

In terms of a year, 1/10th, in terms of months, the festival is held three to four times a month.

In addition, the theme and scale of the festival were different every time, so it was a city full of various things to see and eat.

As a result, it was mainly used as a dating place for the main characters and heroines.

I remember it as a place I often visit after the main stage, Pelex Academy.

“Are we still having a festival?”

“I don’t know.”

I didn’t know because there wasn’t a separate schedule.

Still, since it’s the season when flowers are in full bloom, wouldn’t it be highly likely that it’s during the festival?

It’s too early to be sure, but somehow I had a hunch that it was going to be a festival.

“I wish I was at a festival!”

“Do you like festivals?”

“I’ve never experienced a festival before, so I don’t think I can say for sure that I like it.”

“Then don’t have too high expectations. Because there is nothing special about it.”

“are you okay! Everything will be fun with Bern-sama!”

Renee smiles brightly under the dazzling sunlight.

I couldn’t take my eyes off her bright smile.

There was an impression that it was beautiful, but there was a different reason than that.

The corner of Renee’s mouth trembled slightly. It was a habit that came out subconsciously whenever she made a mouthing sound.

“You’re doing it because you want to spend my money on the festival, right?”

“Ehehehe… .”

It’s going to be a honey night

***

“Me, how are you?”

Renee shows off her new clothes while spinning around in place.

It was a white and blue outfit that matched her silver hair and the wall.

In order to give activeness to the costume form of the priestesses, the skirt was removed and the shoulders were exposed.

Her exposed lower body was wrapped in white stockings and high-heeled walker boots.

In addition, she wore it with a garter belt according to her own wishes.

“… … It’s pretty.”

“really? Then I’ll do it with these clothes!”

“okay.”

Although there is no impression that it is somewhat erotic, we took into account the fact that humans and dragons have different fashion senses.

If the person himself is satisfied, I don’t have any intention of touching him.

To put it in terms of desire, from a male point of view, Rene’s outfit was excellent as an eye candy.

“I’ll pay for the clothes she’s wearing.”

“All right. Then what about the original clothes?”

“Please throw it away.”

You don’t need to carry around a mat.

In the first place, he stopped by a clothing store to dispose of the clothes Renee was wearing.

It was because the eyes of the people who had been focused all the way from the entrance were burdensome.

“ha… ! It’s damn expensive.”

I sighed as I looked at my wallet, which had shrunk in an instant.

I was already worried that I would run out of money on my way to my hometown.

When I was alone, I was thick enough that I didn’t have to worry about it, but now I have one more mouth.

“hehehehe!”

Not knowing the circumstances of my wallet, Renee laughed and said she liked it.

I think I understand a little bit of the heart of parents raising children.

If I go back to my original world, I have to show filial piety to my parents first.

“Let’s go. Take a good look in the mirror.”

“yes!”

As soon as I left the store and came out to the street, fortunately the eyes following me disappeared.

Although Renée’s unconventional attire often drew attention, it was not as uncomfortable as before.

It can be said that he has changed from trash carrying slaves to alpha males wearing beautiful women.

“What are you going to do now?”

“The sun is slowly going down, so I need to start researching the wagon dispatch time and find a place to stay for the night.”

“Then you can see the monster parade scheduled for tomorrow!”

“well? I plan to leave as soon as I wake up, but will I be able to see it?”

“right… ! Can’t we go and see some more? It’s the festival season after all!”

“No, I need to save money!”

While chatting about our itinerary, we wandered around the town bustling with festivals.

Renee’s eyes sparkled at the sight she saw for the first time, and I watched the festival while comparing it to the description in the novel.

‘Was it around this time when Kang Jun-hyeok and the student council president were dating?’

Monster Parade.

It was a festival of the front where demon beasts from all over the world were tamed and paraded through the streets with their trainers.

In the story, due to the tricks of the demons, the monsters go berserk and attack the villagers.

This will only happen in a year, so it should be fine now.

It was at that time that I made up my mind to take a leisurely tour of the town with peace of mind.

A man walking from the other side with a squeamish attitude.

The moment I was about to pass him, I bumped into his shoulder.

It was a contact accident that occurred when the man shoved his shoulder slightly toward me.

It would have been nice if it ended with such a small happening… … .

“Oops! I’m sorry, brother.”

“… … stop moving.”

I threw out a single word and grabbed the wrist of the man who was about to leave.

“Are you a pickpocket?”

“What?”

“Do you see that little boy pretending not to know? You just bumped into me and took my wallet out of my pocket.”

“… … under!”

Smile?

The wallet that had been in my pocket just a minute ago was gone.

If I were to pick the people I had contact with, it was Renee and the man.

There was no way Renee would steal my wallet, so he becomes the culprit.

But I couldn’t understand what kind of confidence he was laughing at.

“Hey bro, don’t you know what happens when you catch a live person like this in the middle of the street?”

“I don’t know.”

“Can’t you see the eyes around you?”

“So what.”

“If it turns out that I didn’t touch my wallet, the person who is going to be buried is the older brother, so is this okay?”

“Don’t f*ck, there’s only you, so hand over my wallet when you say something nice.”

“You’re a brother who can’t speak. Okay, where did you search my body then! As long as you think your brother’s wallet is there!”

A man who came out with his arms wide open, asking him to search.

I know that the wallet is attached to the right groin with invisibility magic, but why is it bothering me?

Did you think that if I stood up proudly, I would shrink and withdraw?

I was seriously thinking about how to f*ck the man who came out with a sense of diligence.

A common method was to call the guards and reveal the man’s tricks, but the excitement was lacking.

If so… … .

“It would be better to just stop there and surrender yourself.”

Sussuk-!

With the sound of a snake passing by, a dark-haired woman stepped out of the crowd.

The woman’s left hand was in the scabbard at her waist and her right hand was on the hilt, as if she was about to threaten with a weapon.

“What else is the lady?”

“I am a witness to prove your theft.”

“under! Come on! Now, a blind man who cannot see properly is talking nonsense.”

“It’s really unfortunate that you’re going to stay away from it until the end.”

No one else would have seen it, but the woman had already pulled out her sword several times.

Her true identity and the sword protruding slightly from the scabbard are proof of that.

‘Why is Rin appearing at this timing?’

The moment you have such a question.

With a thud, her sword went into the scabbard.

At the same time, dozens of cracks formed on the pickpocket’s clothes and scattered into pieces in the air.

“Aagh! What is this!”

A pickpocket who is shocked by being naked without knowing why.

Leaving him behind, Rin came up to me and gave me a soft smile.

“The mana flow confirmed that he was stealing your wallet. You can rest assured that I will be your witness when the guards arrive.”

“… … Thanks for your help, but I want to ask you something.”

“Tell me.”

“Why did you even cut my wallet?”

“yes? what is that… … oh!”

One more Pak-head who wants a honey night has increased.
