Chapter 902 – 902. Yggdrasil (7)
I immediately headed to the establishment with Madam.
As usual, if it wasn’t a big deal, I would have just arranged a seat on the royal floor and had a calm conversation.
But right now wasn’t the time to relax.
Madame used the carriage she had been riding in and headed to the establishment with me.
Dalgrak, moongrak.
“…”
“…”
No sound was heard inside the carriage except the sound of the horses’ hooves and the rolling of the wheels on the ground.
The madam, who would normally open her mouth to match my mood…
“…”
He bowed his head and shoulders like a criminal and said nothing.
In fact, I felt more pleasure from Madame’s attention than the anger caused by Midsummer and Stella’s disappearance.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t angry, but…
‘It’s already happened anyway, so what can I do?’
Madam is one of the best partners who has given me tremendous points.
Women are overflowing with me.
However, there were few ‘women’ who gave her so much profit as Madame.
But that didn’t mean that he would forgive Madame with a blind smile.
‘For now, I should listen to the context and relax the atmosphere.’
You can’t set fire to a ruined barn just because you lost a cow.
You have to be prepared for when you catch the cow again later.
I thought so and didn’t say a word until I arrived at the establishment.
Perhaps the madam is feeling the blood drying up.
As the blood-curdling silence continued to flow, I was finally able to arrive at the establishment.
As soon as Madame arrived, she rushed down and started to assist me.
“I will guide you inside.”
The madam was also a woman, so whenever she was in this kind of atmosphere, she was always in a position to be escorted by me.
‘It’s really different from usual.’
But now Madame was groaning as if she were my servant.
That’s how I went into the business while receiving Madam’s assistant.
Originally, the establishment was quiet and calm in the morning.
Since the business is over, I have to turn off the lights, get ready for work, and finish it…
‘… Wow.’
There was a bloody atmosphere in the establishment.
Shouting could be heard from here and there, and some were openly swearing and even hitting.
And every time Madame passed by…
“Oh, you are here!”
The grim security guards were sweating profusely and all stood stiffly at attention.
Madame looked at the guards and said something.
“Since you have a guest, please shut up from now on.”
“Yes!”
The madam had only uttered a single word, but the voice was full of flesh.
A woman who is infinitely weak to me, but infinitely strong to the staff.
Because of Madame’s words, there was no more noise on the way.
‘Well, it doesn’t mean peace has come just because you can’t hear the noise…’
I ignored other people’s business and arrived at the president’s office guided by the madam.
As soon as Madame arrived at the president’s office, she ordered an employee to serve tea and refreshments.
Looking at the staff who handed over the tea and refreshments, the madam said a word in a bloody voice.
“Put a guard at the door and don’t let anyone in.”
“Yes.”
Overwhelmed by the bloody voice, the employee trembled and went out of the president’s office and shut the door silently.
Once it got quiet
It was then that I opened my mouth for the first time.
“Please explain the situation.”
“Yes, before that…”
“?”
The madam suddenly knelt down in front of me and bent his waist towards me as if he was committing a mortal sin.
“I apologize. I’m really sorry.”
“No, just get up. It’s hard to hear the situation properly in this state.”
In fact, it seemed like it would have been a sight worth seeing if she was naked.
However, I am also in a position where I have received help from Madam.
I didn’t want to blindly treat her.
“… Thank you for your consideration.”
Madame stood up, looked at me, and sat down on the sofa opposite me again.
Then he began to explain the situation.
“While I was away for a while, someone unexpected visited this place.”
“An unexpected person?”
“… This is Stella Arvos.”
“…”
I couldn’t help but open my mouth.
Stella visited the establishment?
Madam saw my bewildered expression and continued her words.
“Then he… After freeing the identities of the two elves here, I took them by force.”
“Freedom? I’m sure there’s a [Mana Contract] Hanging on it, so I can’t take her like that.”
The five elves escorting Stella fell for my tricks and gambled, and became my slaves thanks to losing a bet with me.
However, the existence that put the shackles of slavery on was the [Mana Contract].
And invalidating that [Mana Contract]…
“Used [Breaking Contract].”
“Ah…”
When the red crescent moon seduced midsummer, it was the existence that I talked about.
A fraudulent item that can break all types of contracts.
‘It’s strange that Stella doesn’t have an item like that.’
Stella is a woman who uses stealth detection items, and 100 million won consumables like candy.
It wouldn’t be strange to go through up to a few [Breaking Contracts].
Once I understood this.
I understand that Stella has taken two elves with her.
But what does midsummer have to do with this situation?
Could it be that the establishment escaped by taking advantage of the chaotic situation?
‘It’s strange… I wouldn’t be able to escape like that because I had a [Mana Contract].’
When I put on a puzzled expression, the madam saw through the doubt at once and got to the point.
“Stella Arvos… I kidnapped Mr. Midsummer.”
“…”
The most incomprehensible sentence in my life came out.
Stella’s Midsummer?
Why the hell
“Why?”
Unbeknownst to me, my inner thoughts came out.
Madame understood my words as a question and began to struggle to answer somehow.
But there was only one conclusion.
“Sorry… I also wondered why Stella took Midsummer with her…”
“…”
Even Madam didn’t know.
‘It’s the worst.’
Two beings that shouldn’t be stuck together.
I knew it was the worst.
But there was one more situation that could have been worse.
‘Couldn’t he have written a [Contract termination letter] To Midsummer as well?’
Thinking so, I urgently began to rummage through my inventory.
A total of 4 [Mana Contracts] Remained in the inventory.
It seems that the two copies were destroyed as well as the [Mana Contract] I had when Stella used [Contract Cancellation].
And one of the four chapters…
‘Whew… I didn’t break the midsummer thing.’
The [Mana Contract] Midsummer traded with me was still there.
In other words, putting off this situation, Stella took Midsummer with her, but she did not use [Contract Cancellation] On him.
‘This is a bit better.’
What if Stella used [Contract Cancellation] On Midsummer?
If so, when I arrived here, I would have gone back to the entrance on the third floor.
Everything I’ve done…
Relieved that the real worst hadn’t happened, I started asking Madame.
“Then, what about the whereabouts of the four of them, including Midsummer and Stella?”
“Not exactly, but… Maybe I should have gone to the 5th floor.”
“Hmm…”
Originally, when Yggdrasil moved from floor to floor, he had to go up or down through the middle floor unconditionally.
However, Stella can freely move between the 3rd and 5th floors by using the portal used by the Arboss royal family.
However, I have been told that one condition is necessary.
‘But it was only available for a certain period of time… Maybe it’s still on the third floor.’
If you were still on the third floor, there was still hope.
But…
[Suho, I just got a call from Zodiac.]
‘Huh? Now?’
I had a feeling that another disturbing story was about to be heard.
And that feeling…
[It is said that countless regressions occurred while we were away for a while.]
‘… How many?’
I had to listen to Armonia’s answer and accept the reality.
[The number of times is said to have been 128.]
‘… What a great guy.’
Midsummer was the moment when I had to accept the fact that I had gone to the 5th floor.
Once I admitted that, I sighed.
“Once I got it. But did Stella break through her guard alone and take Midsummer with the elf? No matter how much you think…”
“I am not alone.”
“Sure?”
“… I had an assistant.”
Stella was lucky.
Her escape might have been a failure had she arrived at her premises alone and received no help.
But, fortunately for Stella, she was able to find a helper.
“Do you remember the kid I didn’t get along with?”
Remember
A prostitute who had a high reputation and had the first place in sales.
A woman whose personality is a bit different, but because of her performance, even the madam did not carelessly touch her.
And the woman…
“I remember. When Midsummer and the elves were auctioning off, wagging their tails to me was an art.”
After midsummer and the elves appeared, the situation was reversed and he was in a position to bow down to Madam.
But the woman…
“Whoa… Of course, she met Stella when he was at the entrance…”
“… I was really unlucky.”
It was to become Stella’s helper.
‘Kyaaa… No luck.’
Ironically, Stella’s good luck turned into bad luck for me.
“Where is she?”
“… I think she ran away with it.”
Once she sorted out the whole situation.
Stella, with the help of her prostitute, frees two elves, takes them until Midsummer and runs away to the fifth floor.
‘It’s simply organized.’
If there’s anything good about this worst situation…
‘First of all, the return point of midsummer has changed.’
It was the fact that the return point of midsummer had changed.
If I had returned before going to the 5th floor, I would have…
‘Whew… If I had gone to the beginning of the third floor, I don’t think I would have been able to manage my expression.’
No, it would be very annoying.
‘Once the purpose has been decided.’
I had already made up my mind, but now that Stella and Midsummer are gone, I can no longer relax.
“I should go to the fourth floor.”
Fast to the 5th floor… No, I decided I had to go fucking fast.
As soon as she heard my self-talk, the madam began to explain that something had come.
“If it’s Sung Soo-ho, going to the 4th floor won’t be difficult.”
As Madam said, it won’t be difficult.
The condition for going up to the 4th floor was to prove a certain level of skill by confronting the 3rd floor guardian in the Colosseum.
You don’t even have to win.
You just need to prove it.
‘In addition, it seems that the 3rd floor guardian is weaker than me…’
I thought so and decided.
“I need to get ready to go to the 4th floor right now. Is there any information that might be helpful?”
Madame nodded her head and replied with a serious expression.
“Actually… Wedlock said he wanted to meet Seong Suho. I think I will probably proceed with a story related to help.”
Weatherlock.
He was talking about the goblin, the owner of the city.
An existence that has all the stakes in the 3rd floor, and almost passes them on to their children for a while.
And the children were making profits again with the borrowed shares.
Representatively, there was Ludwig, who ran the Colosseum.
“What time?”
“If you want, I will see you right now.”
Interpreting Madame’s words, I could realize that Weatherlock was caring for me now.
The owner of the city adjusts to my time…
“Let’s go right now.”
If only Stella had disappeared, I wouldn’t have worried too much, but the midsummer disappeared too.
It was no longer a situation to relax.
“I will guide you.”
Madam hurriedly got up from her seat and started guiding me.
She climbed into the carriage, closed the curtains, and started toward Wedlock Street.
While moving like that, Madam spoke to me once again.
“I made a really big mistake. Sorry.”
“Are you okay. Anyone can make mistakes. And the help I’ve received so far has been incredible.”
The madam sighed deeply, feeling relieved by my words.
The madam let out a lot of anxiety that had accumulated not only in her heart, but also in her lungs and brain.
Then he asked me cautiously, feeling the carriage moving.
“If… May I lighten you up on the way?”
“…”
If it was the usual madam, she would have approached me like a seduction.
But now, Madame was thoroughly watching to ease my mood.
‘It’s rather embarrassing to refuse.’
If you just leave it out here, the anxiety and frustration that Madame has managed to solve will accumulate again.
I threw a word at the madam who was looking at me with an anxious expression.
“Do it with your mouth.”
“Yes.”
While I was heading to Wedlock Street, I was able to spend a not boring time receiving Madam’s fella.
