38 Strange man.

I've been working with Shra on a duel in the outdoor training ground. The exam went back and forth, but it wasn't that dangerous. I could not have been struck by Shura's sword, and even if I had made a mistake, there was no reason for both of them to get hurt if they were only careful with each other because they were wearing helmets made of cracker leather.

Window. Challenge. Window.

In the middle of the afternoon, Shura's Dalahan draws a strange curve, and he digs sharply toward my chest. I was able to dodge at leisure, but I thought it was a good move, so I ran the assault against Jojo to the side.

Swordsmanship is not a mathematical formula or discipline. The target won't understand you unless you speak up. So, it was better to let good numbers work when good numbers come in, and to let the bad ones work with the body while showing the taste of failure a hundred times.

“Good.”

I sprayed the Dalahan and opened the streets.

Shura brings the Dalahan back to a halt and swings around me.

It looks like you're looking for a loophole, but you're mistaken.

Shura is on the move, but I'm turning only along her. In this situation, it is more likely that Shura will make a gap first. She's got a lot of moves first.

The more mistakes you make, the more you get.

‘Then I'll have to scold you. ’

I keep turning and pretending to shift. Shura rushes in after fishing. I relaxed, dodging the attack and throwing a yo-yo at her.

However, Shura's expression was strange. You're not nervous at all, and you're smiling thinly, even when you're about to get hit. Soon after, her screams passed through my ears.

“Bomb!”

A huge storm of intense light came upon me. The 'Bomb Blast’ was a step 1 magic from Dalahan that blinded the opponent by intense light. Perhaps Shura's true target was a trap sold as a reverse.

It was a good try, but it didn't mean much. By the time the light of the mines had faded, I was already holding Shura's blade close to his neck.

I looked at Shura, lowering my blindfolded forearm. She was very confused by the fact that her strategy had failed.

“What have you done? ”

Shra barely speaks.

“It's the magic of Dalahan. ”

“I know it from what I saw. But I'm not asking you about the magic of Dalahan. I'm asking you why you were so careless at the end. Did you think the battle was over because I fell into a trap? ”

“Well, well, well. ”

“Never let your guard down until the end. In practice, you risk your life for such carelessness. The winning smile will not be too late even after you've finished checking. Okay?”

“Yes · · · · · · · ·. ”

Shra lowers her head, making no excuses. I pulled the yogurt from her neck some time ago.

“Anyway, the process was good. If it wasn't for me, you would have won. It was pretty good.”

“Thank you."

I finished with a compliment. The result was a failure, but I really liked the evil that tried to deceive me.

To be honest, I was a little surprised. Shura's sword is not the most rare sword I've ever seen. The attack was fairly sharp, and the tactical operations were even deeper enough to dig a trap.

Taken together, Shura was like a typical genius and prosecutor. It seemed to have some kind of innate talent factor. I wonder who my parents really are.

I looked at her for a while.

“But did you learn healing magic? ”

“It's not that extensive yet, but I've learned single-care magic. ”

“Well done. Healing magic is quite useful, so study hard. You'll have something to write about later. ”

“Yes.”

“Then we're done for the day. Do what you want for the rest of the time. ”

I leave Shura's schedule to herself and head into the building. All I can do for Shura is drink. ‘Figure’ should remind herself with her breasts.

“Hmm · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The office was covered with all sorts of clothes and bags. A gorgeous scarlet dress on a reception table. Above the calculation, there was a black female suit decorated with gold threads, and there were various other clothes and bags lying around. Recently, I gave my sister 300 gold leafs as compensation, and the office landscape has been like this ever since.

Armida's sister, who stood in front of the full-body mirror and wrapped her new bag around me, came to me eagerly.

“Brother, how about this bag? ”

“Good.”

“Right? I bought it to carry it on Saint Euroa Day this time. ”

Okay, that was a dead face. I headed to the refrigerator to get my drink out.

“But don't you prefer the heavenly city of Kronos? ”

“Not at all. Kronos has a shitty style. Humans make the best clothes and bags. ”

“Really?"

When I opened the refrigerator door, I could see the inside. I went shopping a few days ago, but it was already a mess. Well, I had two insects, so I didn't have a refrigerator left.

“Sister, your refrigerator is empty. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Armida had no answer. I'm afraid I'll have to send you on an errand.

I have no idea what she's going through. Buying ingredients is buying groceries, buying clothes and bags is buying groceries, but I don't know why one is annoying and the other one is fun.

I packed my basket. I enjoy shopping for food. Every time I see roasted bread and chunky sliced meat, I feel the joy of life.

I first stopped by a butcher shop nearby. I often went to the store because the owner's daughter was pretty. Unfortunately, I was not available today.

“The beef is 85 leaf copper and the lamb is 52 leaf. ”

I was very surprised at the price the butcher called me. The same amount of beef was 82 leafs of copper and 49 leafs of lamb, but three leafs rose after several days. I don't understand why the price of meat keeps spiking.

“Master, why does the price of meat keep rising? ”

The host made an embarrassing face.

“Yes, I'm happy to continue raising the price of meat from the supplier. ”

“Have you had any livestock epidemics lately? ”

“No, that's not it. They sweep away the meat from the Jerky Workshop. ”

Strange. Jerky is a food that is sometimes enjoyed as a drink, but here in Kara, it is mostly consumed as food for merchants who trade in the Great Desert. If trading had become active recently, there was no reason to suddenly increase the production of jerky.

I looked over the shelf again. I want to eat Jerky now that I hear about Jerky. However, there is not much to soothe the bored mouth of a jerky.

But I didn't see any jerky. Seen it before, but not now.

“Owner, don't you keep jerky in the fort? ”

The host waved his hand as if he didn't want me to dream.

“Don't say jerky. It's not available at the supplier's location. ”

“No, why? I heard you make jerky that spikes the price of meat. Then the market will be overrun. ”

“No. We don't have jerky on the market, so we make jerky that costs a lot of money to eat. ”

“Hmm. Come to think of it, yeah. Stop. Are you serious? ”

Suddenly, I opened my eyes sharply. I make a bunch of jerky, and they run out of jerky on the market for no other reason? Definitely a storekeeper.

I quickly calculated the price for the meat and headed to the weapons store near the workshop. A shop that sells weapons to mercenaries. It also handles arrows.

“Arrows? I haven't seen one of those in a while. There's been a strange spike in arrow prices lately. ”

“As expected · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“But why? ”

“It's nothing. I was just gonna get some, but not without it. ”

I left the weapons store and smiled.

Food is one of the most important supplies in war. Soldiers need to eat before they can fight. So, when the war broke out, the price of food increased. The largest item in the country was processed meat with a long shelf life, such as jerky.

And with the most supplies in the war, that was an arrow. I know a lot of battlefields, but arrows are definitely not there when I need them.

But now the price was skyrocketing in the center of the supplies. This can't happen unless someone is buying war supplies.

Who the hell does a barbershop? ’

What is clear is that Kara is not. If someone in Kara felt the energy of war, there must be a rumor spreading somewhere, and I can't see it at all. Moreover, in memory of my past life, Kara must go to war with the Kingdom of Robos in the second half of the summer.

By the way, I should have done the barbecue. Tsk.

Who is it?

On my way home, I stopped walking in a quiet alley.

It was because a blonde man in a short dress was lying on the floor with a dry mold. But it was too dry. I was so dull that I couldn't see anything vivid in my eyes, and my skin became dull beyond dryness. Like a starving corpse?

At first, I thought I was a fucking beggar somewhere, but I wasn't. The waist was filled with a fairly luxurious magical sword embossed with skeletal emblem, and the body's aura was unusual. It was as strong and sharp as a sword standing upright.

‘Sounds pretty tough.' ’

I recalled a conversation I had with Azerbaijan earlier. Kara has another Master Prosecutor besides us. I wondered who he was, but he seemed like that guy.

"Idiot. What's with all the masters coming all the way to Kara? If you don't have enough money to eat, you can work for the mercenaries. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

My head twitches as I pass by the blonde man and toss a silver coin in his face.

A dry voice is heard towards me as I leave.

“I'm not a beggar. ”

I paused again, smirking. You have a lot of pride. Well, he's got that personality, so he's a master.

“I'm not ready for this either. I would never do anything like that. ”

“Why?”

“I've killed people with the Red Line before. ”

The blonde man picked up the silver coin I threw away.

“Then who the hell is this money? ”

“A trifle of gold. If you grow up with a sword, you must become a robber or a mercenary before you become one, but that's what you look like, right? So that means you're going to starve to death because of your stupid personality, and you're going to have to pay a dime. If a ghost like you sticks to it, it's bad luck for the rest of your life. I have a lot of poisonous ghosts on my hands. So please, don't take the money. ”

Immediately, I was revitalized by the cloudy eyes of the man. The man smiles bloody.

“What a blurry fellow. ”

“That's right. The world used to be a blur. ”

The man jumps up and down. Then I lightly jumped into position a few times and twisted my whole body like a stretch.

“But how long have I been lying there? ”

“How would I know that? You know your belly button. ”

A man brings his hand to the sunshine of the Mediterranean that seeps through the alley.

“Well, I remember coming out this morning, so it shouldn't be more than a few hours. ”

“Hey, where's your disease? ”

“I don't know. Should I say? Should I say no? Let's just say it was there and then it wasn't. ”

He was a man who only spoke words he couldn't understand. I snorted.

“That's good to know. Smooth and crazy.”

The man walked and stared at the white skin covering the bottom of my face in alternation with the dyed red hair.

“Backbone? Is that Kaoyan, the one you've been rumoring about lately? ”

“Yes. There are rumors like that. What about you?”

“Kalon.”

I tilted my head. Strangely, I've never heard of a master.

“Last name?”

“Nothing.”

“Are you a slave or a commoner? ”

“No.”

“Then why isn't there a castle? ”

“It's a fake name anyway, what are you doing with the castle? ”

I narrowed my eyes.

“You're a bit suspicious. ”

“Still, I think it's less suspicious than you. ”

“Oh, really? ”

Not many people are as suspicious as I am. His name was fake, his hair was fake, and he wore a mask. There was no reason to think that they were suspicious of each other, but I turned away immediately.

“Farewell. ”

“Take it.”

I bounced back the silver he had in his hand, and I hit him again with the back of my hand.

“That's it. I'd rather get my donation back. If I get my money back, I'll be damned forever.“ ”

“I'm not a beggar. ”

“I didn't give it to you because you're a beggar. ”

“Oh, right. I said a dime. Let's just say it's a little late. ”

He tucks the silver coin into his chest.

“Late?”

“I almost died a while ago. Thanks to you, I look like this. ”

“Huh. You must have met a stonemason, huh? ”

“Ah, because she's not from this side of the family. ”

I stared at Callan. Before, I thought Zen Bae was a troublesome connoisseur because he said he knew honor. I'm surprised. His voice was low and heavy, but his overall tone was light.

“But that's not the rumor you heard. ”

“Do you know me? ”

“Yes. I heard it from Zambe. ”

“Oh, that Orc Packaging Wagon Owner!? You said he was Zenber of the Holy Grail. ”

“Yes.”

“Yes. What did he say about me? ”

“You said it was just a bland man who knew honor. ”

Callan looks up at the narrow sky in the alley.

“Honor? I used to know that. ”

“Now?”

“I'm also busy following the cause. It's an absolute, perfect saying. ”

I blinked my eyes.

“That's odd. I thought there was no such thing as a cause. ”

“Hmm. I thought I didn't have one, but I did. ”

“Of what? ”

“A huge one that no being can bear. ”

I shook my hand.

“I don't know what it is, but don't talk about it. I don't want to hear a story. ”

“You're pretty quick on your feet. Honestly, I don't think I should hear it. The weight of my life has become so heavy. ”

“Then put it down. That's all I got. ”

Callan gives you a heavy look.

“Once you hear it, you can't. ”

“There is no such thing as never. ”

“But there are exceptions in the world. Exceptions that go beyond the absolute value of not having absolute value. ”

If we have to regard the cause as such, there is only one class. I pause slightly with a bitter smile.

“Is this it? Then I'll admit it. ”

After considerable deliberation, he opens his mouth.

“Well, you're a little out of your league. ”

“Oh, is that it? ”

I was very surprised. I didn't understand what kind of cause has nighttime justice. Night is one of the few absolute values for humanity's survival. The moment humanity stops doing that, it destroys itself.

Callan tucks away his dusty clothes.

“Anyway, I have work to do, so I should probably get going. I'll see you when I see you again. ”

“Suit yourself.”

“Of course.”

Callan gives you a quick hello and disappears into a complex alleyway. He was a strange man to see cancer. It was weird the whole time we were talking, and he looked even weirder. Callan looks more like a zombie than a human.
