Episode 118. back alley fight
“Berrick.”
“… “Wow!”
Beric jumped up at Ian’s call. Her eyes were brightly shining without any disturbance, but judging by the marks on the sides of her cheeks, it was clear that she had had a sweet night. Beric frowned slyly and muttered.
“ah. I stayed up all night and I’m really tired. “I guess I should go out and eat some meat today?”
“Berrick. “I heard you snoring just now.”
“I think I heard wrong?”
Huh. Beric rubbed his philtrum and looked at Ian. He must have stood guard until dawn, alert, but as soon as he saw his servant Minnie coughing, he lost consciousness. Beric kept circling around, just looking at Ian’s eyes, afraid that he would scold him.
“Did anything happen overnight?”
“huh. “It was completely uneventful.”
“Then, at least wash your face before you eat. “It looks a bit like that.”
“rice! Let’s eat!”
Uddangtangtang! Beric quickly ran upstairs with Ian’s permission. Minnie stopped while bringing warm soup.
“Are you up already? He said he wanted to eat soup early in the morning, so I made it for him. “You have no patience.”
“I guess we can just leave it with the meal.”
“yes. All right.”
Minnie said that when she came out at dawn, she was standing in front of the front door with her eyes wide open. Ian seemed to be doing what he was told to do, so he entered the restaurant satisfied. Madame Vivianna and Romandro were also wearing light clothes.
“good morning. Sir Ian.”
“Thanks to you ma’am. “The bed was very comfortable.”
“There’s a lot to do today, so hurry up and get ready.”
Vivianna seems to have meticulously written a shopping list overnight. As he read the folded paper, he slowly recited the route of the commercial district that we would have to take during the day.
Under the smell of melting butter and the warm sunlight breaking through the cold air, Ian felt peaceful for the first time in a long time. Harsha also seemed to feel the same way, sitting on her chair and quietly sipping milk.
“Hasha. What does it smell like? “Isn’t it much different from yesterday?”
-I don’t think there is one. Above all, the smell of butter is too strong now.
It was Harsha, his nose twitching with ecstatic eyes.
‘Was it a needless worry?’
It was the same as making an enemy on the border and then entering his lair. I think I became more sensitive after facing Marib and Gail in succession.
“rice! Rice and rice!”
… I just caught Beric by mistake.
Ian felt a little sorry and gave her some black tea. Whether he knew it or not, Beric began to devour the food on the table.
“Kuhuhuh! it’s good!”
“sorry. ma’am. “I don’t think it will be good for prenatal education.”
“oh. no. I saw it once yesterday when you two were out. “It’s nice to see you eating happily.”
“mini! “Get ready to get some steam in the carriage.”
“yes. “Romandro!”
The roads become more complicated the moment you leave the high-end residential areas. Not only will the floating population increase, but congestion will worsen due to illegal electric vehicles and children on bicycles flying quickly between carriages. In order to avoid shivering in the cold weather, it was necessary to heat the carriage in advance.
“So, where are we going first?”
When Beric asked while chewing bread, Vivianna answered on his behalf.
“I’m going to leave the guard knight’s sword. There is a very old blacksmith shop nearby. One blade is incredibly sharp. “The plan is to leave it there, buy clothes, and then return after eating.”
Beric nodded yes and finished the meal. It was already a very dull sword, so it was better to use it for striking rather than cutting.
“okay! let’s go! “Oh my gosh.”
“oh my god. Beric!”
“… sorry.”
Harsha purred with an extremely annoyed expression. And so, their peaceful morning began.
* * *
“This is the blacksmith shop.”
“Ian, Vivianna and I will be waiting here for you, so hurry up and get there.”
“That’s right. Berwick. “Follow me out.”
“Yeah. “Let’s go get black~!”
A blacksmith shop not far from Romandro’s mansion. Ian and Beric entered inside with swords in hand. There was a constant whistling sound that felt like it would rip my eardrums, along with the warm smell of sweat.
Weeeeeee!
earth! Taaang! earth!
Right next to me, Beric covers his ears and shouts something, but even that is hard to hear. Ian looked around and found a yellow bell.
Click.
When I pressed the button, all the lanterns came into view where the blacksmiths could see them. It was a kind of doorbell that announced the arrival of a guest. They immediately stopped hammering and looked back toward the entrance.
“Leader! “A guest has arrived!”
“Uh oh. okay. What brought you here? lily?”
It’s me, right? The blacksmith who was dealing with Ian glanced at Beric and frowned.
“The edge of the sword is too dull, so I want to sharpen it.”
“wait a minute. hmm? “Is this a sword?”
“That’s right. price is?”
“I think five copper coins would be enough, but that’s not the problem. “Do you know what this is made of?”
“I don’t know. “I am not an expert.”
I just thought the color was a bit dark. As the blacksmith took an unusual look at the sword, others came in one by one to take a look.
“What? “Why is it this color?”
“Did you acquire mementeum after birth?”
“It’s darker than that. “Maybe it’s not a monster stone.”
“Don’t be so lucky! “Where are monster stones common?”

“lily. “If you don’t know what this is, we won’t be responsible if it breaks while sharpening.”
Ian looked at Beric in response to the blacksmith’s question. It meant what to do. But he picked his ears and nodded his head indifferently.
“It could have been even more broken there. Even if it gets smashed in half, it’s still better. Then, when you stab it, it will go in easily.”
“Just figure it out. “Please take care of me.”
Even while Ian was paying the price, the blacksmiths continued to tear apart Beric’s sword. It seemed like the thieves had stolen something really great.
“Then I’ll come inside and pick it up tonight.”
“yes! thank you! “I will go with all my heart!”
Sigh! bang!
When he came out, Beric’s face had already turned red from the heat of the blacksmith shop. Ian probably isn’t that different.
Sigh.
Ian tried to get into the carriage but stopped. This is because the sound of snow stepping on is heard secretly from behind. Beric tilted his head as if asking why she wasn’t going up, and Vivianna turned the doorknob to see if the door was locked. Ian knocked lightly on the window to tell him not to do that.
Knock knock.
“Romandro. “Please go to the dressing room first.”
“huh? “Ian, what about you?”
“I’m going to take a walk to cool off the heat in the blacksmith shop. I’ve already learned the route, so you don’t have to worry. “It’s just to the left after the crosswalk, right?”
Have you ever set foot here? Surprisingly, it penetrated all parts of the center. Although he was puzzled, Romandro urged the coachman without another word.
Hee hee!
As the carriage drove away, Beric opened his mouth and made a bewildered expression.
“Ian! I am? Lo-Mandro! “Take me too!”
“You should come with me.”
“No, I’m really cold?”
“let’s go. “Follow me slowly.”
Ian turned down the alley in the opposite direction of the carriage. Even though he grumbles, he doesn’t know the way, so Beric has no choice but to chase after him. The two continued into a quiet and busy back alley. Even in the middle of the day, the sun doesn’t shine because of the shadows of the buildings, all the way to the bottom of the city.
Crack, crackle!
Around that time, Beric also noticed that someone was following behind him. He muttered, rubbing his bare hands on his jacket.
“I should have bought a new one when I handed over the sword.”
“It looks like you have some money. Beric.”
“Isn’t the owner going to buy it for me?”
“This way.”
Percussion! Crash!
The strange running continued. The mysterious pursuer moved quickly and did not miss Ian and Beric. No, I didn’t want to miss it. but… … .
Taaat!
“ah.”
The moment they turned the corner, the two people disappeared. The pursuer took a deep breath and looked around. But I couldn’t see any place where I could take a side road. That was the moment when she turned around, gritting her teeth.
“Hello~?”
Bah!
Beric jumped right in and threw a punch. It was a sudden attack, but the pursuer stably received Beric’s fist. In addition, it is a movement that moves the recoil of force and leads to a counterattack. The pursuer’s robe fluttered like waves.
Pow!
“omg.”
Beric, who barely managed to block it, closed his eyes as if he was truly embarrassed. But that only lasted for a moment, and then his eyes lit up and he smiled brightly, as if he had met his prey.
“hey! “Are you hitting on me?”
“noisy! “Are you Ian?”
“huh. “I’m Ian~.”
Pow! puck!
Wow!
The sum was exchanged without a single gap.
Judging from her voice, it seemed like she was a woman, but her fighting stance was unusual. Unlike Beric, who is raw, he has the posture of a well-trained warrior. The only words that lingered in my head were that it was amazing that there was no pressure.
“Berrick. The woman appears to be on her left hand.”
Aren’t you mainly using your left fist? That meant that the woman’s right side was relatively empty. As her Ian hinted, Beric immediately dove into her right side and knocked the woman’s chin off with her head.
Baaaaagh!
“Ahh!”
The sound of something being smashed was heard. Beric rubbed his forehead and nudged his pursuer’s side as if telling him to get up quickly.
“Hey. Wake up. Not yet… … .”
Ji-ing.
I saw the face of a woman who raised her head. Her dark blue, short, neat and pretty hair showed that she came from a fairly wealthy family.
And above all, brightly shining eyes. There was a shimmering blue aura in the naturally black pupils.
“… “Demon swordsman?”
“You are Beric! die!”
Faaah!
Perhaps because of Beric’s headbutt, the woman’s nose was bleeding and her stomach was in disarray. She stretched out her hands, opening her magic. A blue dagger waving in the air. She stretched out her hand towards Beric as if to throw away her dagger.
Easy profit!
“Wow! “Fuck, what is that!”
“Berrick!”
The speed is such that there is no time to avoid it. As Beric flinched in surprise, Ian unleashed his magic wave explosively.
Pow!
There was a loud noise that shook the back alley, and muddy dust flew everywhere. There is no visibility. Ian waved her hand and kicked up the dust. The pursuer was lying on the floor, out of breath.
“What. Why does Ji attack and why does Ji fall?”
“… Shut up! Hehehe, hehehe… … .”
“It looks like it was a crab hit just now. Beric.”
“aha. Just do it once and you’re done?”
At Ian and Beric’s words, the woman bit her lip and glared at them. But she couldn’t refute it. It was real. She never expected that she would use the final blow like this.
“now. Now let’s go in from here. What about weapons? doesn’t exist?”
“It is a shame and a luxury to take up arms against someone with bare hands.”
As Beric approached, clenching his fists, the woman also staggered to her feet. She spat on her floor, getting back into her fighting stance. The shattered molar fell out along with blood.
“Ah, that’s really good. Should we just say Tongseongmyeong?”
“I am!”
A woman who screams evil like a bad girl. She then lunged at Beric, extending her fist.
“The daughter of Petraeus, the proud commander of the Imperial Palace’s direct guards!”
Petraeus.
Ian immediately remembered the familiar name.
A man who tried to kill Ian under Molin’s instructions, and ultimately committed suicide to keep his faith.
“Barsabe Bruteda!”
“Oh, yes! nice to meet! I have no proud parents! “Fuck it, it’s just Beric!”
“Your father’s enemy!”
“What, you got the wrong street number!”
Wow!
Their fists hit each other’s faces at the same time. Ian closed his eyes lightly, as if it hurt more to see him.
