90 . Mysterious Bandits Part 3



 Me, Lil Pop and Goopop left the room.
 We immediately headed to the street street street on that leg.

 The development of this place is a bit surprising.
 Before Safate's arrival, this area had been the site of a volcano and was a desolate land with no plants or trees, but even though it's been less than a year since then, there are still so many people coming and going, it's very crowded.

 It's a pity that
 The permanent population is still very small.
 Now, a lot of people who come and go here now, via Liberty, are just stopping by to do business in the neighborhood.

 So.

 If there are a lot of people like that, then some of them are going to be bad at it.

 Out of the corner of my eye.
 I didn't miss the adventurer in the storefront of the store in the front left, with the fruit in his bosom in remembrance.

 The adventurer was walking away from there as if nothing had happened.
 I snuck up on the guy from behind.
Hey, what are you forgetting?
 Yes, I called out to him.
 And then this guy.
 I just started running out of time.

 Well, it's within the realm of possibility.

 I kicked the side of my leg, the one that was floating in the air behind the rushing adventurer.
 Then.
 The adventurer's legs, which were originally supposed to go straight out, bent forward at an angle and
 As a result, the adventurer fell down with a flourish as he was dressed to stumble to his own feet.

 And then, on the spur of the moment.
 The unreimbursed fruit rumbled from the adventurer's breast pocket....
You forgot to pay for it, didn't you?
 I said that, and I snickered.

That's why it's said that you're a soft touch, sir.
 Behind me, I suddenly heard Lil Pop's voice.
 When I turned around, a man who seems to be one of the adventurers seemed to be creeping up behind me.
 
 Well.
 By the time I turned around, Lil Pop had completely silenced me with a gatling magic gun he was holding under his arm.

'Oh, come on, boys, come on,'
 And now some voice from behind us.

 when you look at it
 The adventurer with his arm wrapped around Goop's neck and a dagger in his other hand.
 .........how many of you have been able to.......cause trouble when people are on different missions.
That's all I can do. We came here to make a profit, and now it's all gone, and we're having a hard time eating, so if you want to save her life, leave all your money.
 I'm just saying.
 In the arms of a man who, I say, has a goop.
'Dad, you're not in a skirt right now, right?'
 I mean.
Yeah, that's good.
 Yeah, I'll tell you what.
What, you're talking about ignoring people... what?
 The man.
 At the same time I responded, Goopop took me by the arm and threw me forward.
 He didn't seem to have any idea what he had done to me, and I was stunned as I lay at Goopop's feet.

 And.
 Goop, such a man's face.
I hope you'll be very sorry for yourself.
 As he said that, his foot....

◇ ◇.

 After handing over the three captured adventurers to the guards who rushed in, we...
The attackers are coming. You should make a few more patrols.
 I gave a word of warning to my subordinate who came over to hand him over, but
 Well, you know what?
 Because of the large number of influxes, there are more than a few people like that.

 Our guards usually deal with these guys accordingly.


 So, now, we're on our little day off until another mission starts.
 I'm going to go to the clothing store.

Welcome to the house. Oh, well, we have two lovely ladies.
 Two young ladies.
 I'm biting down on my laughter, but Lil Pop is silent and gives me a huge elbow strike to the side of my head.......
Oh, sir, are you okay?
 The clerk came running up to me.
 Naturally, Lil Pop is ignoring the gun....

 And, well.
Let these guys pick out some random clothes.
 I told him, and I settled into a break room at the back of the store.

 This clothing store is for women.
 The only women I've ever been with have been streetwalkers.
 They're not even close to these shops.

 What a sentimental experience.
Look who's here. It's not Googs.
 And as I said that, the woman at the store offered me a cup of tea.

 What's that?
 Well, that's a rabbi.

 When I was a kid, there was a cobolt that lived in the neighborhood.
 There was this and that, and didn't we move to Pix, I think, when I was working as a guard in the village at the foot of Mount Gorn after I went through a mercenary career, right?
Liberty has come a long way. That's why I came back. After all, it's where I was born.
 Rabbi smiled at that and sat down beside me.
What's up with you today? A tribute to the water girl? You're still a widower anyway, right?
 So says Rabbie, who laughs with a nisi.
 Well, this guy has always been like this.
 She's frank, open and cheerful.
 I guess you could say she's the kind of girl that everyone likes to see.
 
 And I'm...
Yeah, I'm just trying to buy some clothes for my girls.
 As I say this, I point to a corner of the store.

 There.
 I'm picking out a bunch of clothes with a shopkeeper, a goop.
 Lil Pop stubbornly prodding the shopkeeper no matter what he recommends.

 ...I mean, Lil' Pop, he's a bastard.

 I'm just pointing fingers at these people.
 I don't know, that Rabbie guy, he's just rolling his eyes and looking stunned.
Well, I never thought you'd get married, Mr. Labby, but I'm surprised you got married.
 What, do you have to drag your voice out of there, man?

 I don't know, and then...
 Rabbie's got his head in the clouds somewhere.
Okay, well, just relax.
 And then she disappeared so fast.

 Hey, I was going to tell them about it.
 I was going to introduce you to two of my friends, but now you're one of them.

◇ ◇.

 And, well.
 With a well-chosen goo-pop of my own choosing.
 I forced myself to pick Lil Pop.

 After buying clothes for the two of us, we went back to our room.
I'm gonna go clean up some clothes.
 And a very happy Goopop ran to his room.
 It's just that this was originally a storage space, and I'm making it exclusively for Goop.

I told you that I didn't need this kind of thing.
 The Lil Pop guy was mumbling about the clothes I bought without even taking them out of the bag.
 Well, never mind.
 When the time comes, I'll be able to force you to come to me.

 What do you think, Lil Pop's guy, he took out the Gatling magic gun he used in the city from his magic bag and started servicing it.

Is the woman in the shop familiar to you?
 I asked.
 What, you noticed.
Yeah, that's an old friend of mine. He's one of my best friends. I'll be sure to introduce you.
 I said that and smiled at him.
 The one with the lillpop, he looked down like he was in some kind of bad mood.
I don't really care.
 And one word.

 ...then don't even ask me.

◇ ◇.

 in the meantime
 The guards came to my room.

 Since I'm working on another mission, I'm leaving it up to Kobold, my second-in-command, for now.
 It was a message from that XO.

 Anything.
 We captured three adventurers earlier in the city.
 I'm talking about weird stuff and...

 For what it's worth, they heard about some lucrative jobs around the frontier village near here in Liberty.

 In.

 You know, the job description.
"Egg collection

 ......
 It's getting kinky all of a sudden, isn't it?

 I went back to my room, telling him that I would go to the guardhouse after I got ready for now.

'It's urgent, I'm going out. You stay here with Goopop.
 I told him so, Lil Pop.
You're not going to go to that woman, are you?
 or rather (say)
 You, why do you have to be a rabbi here?

 Are you baking a rice cake?
'No ... it's not like that ...'
 So says Lil Pop, who unusually stammers.

 In.
 I forced my lips over those lips and twisted my tongue into them.
 Lil Pop, unusually, twirled his tongue himself.

 And then, often

 We exhaled hot breaths and separated from each other
Now, listen to me about the Goop.
I'm on a mission, sir.
 I said, and to Lil Pop, who saluted me, I left the room, giving him a thumbs up on my right hand.
