28. If only the face is pretty
* * *
After coming to the city, Evan, who recklessly completed the quests and paid off his debts with the money he earned from the dungeon auction, smiled as he saw the remaining half of his debt.
‘I thought it would take two years, but it’s already halfway… ….’
Thanks to this, Evan’s behavioral pattern changed from ignorantly completing requests to finding a job that could earn him a fortune.
Didn’t he realize for himself that even if he completed all the requests from the guild, in the end he would be able to earn a lot of money many times faster.
Like that, Evan went to the forest every week in search of expensive monsters or dungeons, and he became a lame person who usually spends his time in the guild.
‘Ah- I want to date a girlfriend… ….’
Inwardly, I was chewing on the reason I came to the city every time.
Today, as he was sitting in the guild and sniffing sweet fruit drinks without doing anything as usual, Evan heard the whispers of the adventurers in the guild.
“What’s up with the beasts?”
“Okay. Did you come to do adventure work as a group?”
“The clothes are quite high quality for that kind of thing…… Probably a noble among the beasts…….”
A beastman came to the city.
Also as a group.
It wasn’t unusual for non-human beings to gather in an adventurer’s city, but if the adventurers were excited enough, it meant that it was an unusual, special event.
Evan, who was bored just in time, got up from his seat and left the guild. It wasn’t that difficult to find the beastmen the adventurers were talking about. It was because there were a lot of people on the way they were coming and going.
“Why did they come here?”
“Isn’t the lord thinking of stopping the beasts?”
“It smells… ….”
Evan, who passed through the gaps of people spouting disgust at the beastmen and poked his face out between them, found the beastmen wearing clothes that he had never seen before and exclaimed hee.
Foxes, wolves, and other dogs and beasts were heading somewhere in a row. However, they did not walk confidently looking straight ahead, but they were scanning people randomly as if they were looking for someone.

And Evan saw the face of the four-tailed beauty, the fox at the head of them all, and opened her mouth.
‘It’s pretty… ….’
If there is such a thing as a mature woman’s beauty, would it feel like that? Evan, who burst into admiration at the type of woman he had never met before, realized that her face was a face he had seen many times before.
If you put the expression of a moderately strong warrior on the gray hair with a little bit of silver hair left, and the face making a bewitching expression, the figure of a beastman he knows appears.
‘She looks very similar to Mr. Lainia.’
I wondered if Rania’s sister had a face like that. Evan quietly returned to the guild after watching the beastmen march.

“…… So, you came to the city to find someone?”
“Yes- there are people who have seen that there is a clan that has run away from their family in this city. She has come to take her.”
“Armed conflict is unforgivable.”
“We are also trying to get over it without using force as much as possible. Of course—it will be even easier if the lord, the owner of the city, helps.”
“…… All right, I’ll lend you the guards. Instead, it should be dealt with quietly. Very quiet, no fuss.”
“—Thank you for your generosity.”
Kiara left the lord’s room with a soft smile. Her face, which had been full of smiles, turned into a frown the moment she turned her back in the lord’s room.
‘To think I had to smile at someone like that.’
I didn’t really like the fact that I had to laugh hahahahaha and get permission from a lower human being than myself.
But she couldn’t help it. This was the kingdom and the realm of the window king. A land of monsters that alone covers the entire country.
A superhuman who is difficult to deal with even in Nine Lives with a great lineage. In order to operate in such a land of superhumans, it was essential to obtain permission from the lord, the king’s agent.
“You have worked hard. Lord.”
“Did you find her?”
“Sorry. Yet… ….”
“Are you saying that no one knows a face? It is a city of vulgar adventurers who sell their parents and children for money, so find it by any means.”
Hearing Kiara’s command, Gunther lowered his head and quickly left his seat. Then, like Kiara said, she went to the guild.
Yes. Isn’t this a city of adventurers who will do anything for money, such as murder or crime?
I didn’t have to run all the way to find it. Gyeongguk-gyeongseong was a family that had the upper hand even in Nine Lives.
After stepping into the Adventurer’s Guild, Gunther tried to ignore the stares flying towards him and approached the reception desk.
“—Welcome to the Adventurers Guild. What are you doing?”
“I want to find someone.”
“This is a request. All right. Do you know anything about the personal details of the person you are looking for?”
“I don’t know the name. Her face looks like this, and her gender is female. A peculiarity is that she has nine tails.”
Gunther said that and handed over a montage of the characters he saw and drew in the crystal ball. Upon hearing the montage and the information that it had nine tails, the guild staff immediately realized that the person they were looking for was the guild’s adventurer, Rania.
However, it is sewage to immediately show that you know. The guild staff opened their mouths as they leisurely organized their papers.
“The average fee for finding a person is 100 elso. However, in this case, I don’t know anything other than my appearance, so I think it will cost about 500 elso.”
“You are overpriced. Five hundred Elsona to find such a distinctive b*tch? Who do you know as Hogu—”
“Oh, that’s Mr. Rainia as expected.”
“Eh, Evan!?”
And then, Gunther was startled when he saw a kid walking next to him. She couldn’t feel the approaching sign at all…?
But Evan held up the montage and asked, looking as if Gunther was surprised or not.
“Mister, why are you looking for this person?”
“…… Do you know who it is?”
“I know. So why are you looking for it?”
“Where are you?”
“Hey, mister. I asked the question first and I answered it, but it is only fair that you answer my question as well.”
The cheeky little guy- Gunter cursed inwardly and answered Evan’s question with a slight gnashing of teeth.
“He is a fugitive who ran away from our family a long time ago. He heard that he had only recently found it, so he came to find it…….”
“—A lie.”
“…… On what basis is it a lie?”
“How can someone who has been chasing a fugitive not even know his name? He wouldn’t know if he said the name had changed.”
“He thought he had changed his name and said he didn’t know.”
“That is a lie too.”
Evan grinned and objected to Gunther’s words.
“You smell like lies.”
“…… This damn kid is-“
To say that a beast has a smell is an extremely insulting term. A racist statement that regardless of your status as a human being, you are still beasts.
Of course, Evan knew that and didn’t say it with the intention of insulting him—but it didn’t matter too much to Gunther.
“Where are you so arrogant—!”
Gunther immediately held out his hand. He is a member of “Ikkidangcheon,” An organization that only gathers powerful beasts within Nine Lives.
As he was a member of the group brought in in preparation for an armed conflict, he was confident that he could defeat any adventurer he met in this city with a single blow, except for the King of the Spear.
“Deon—.”
And the next moment, Gunther realized that there was a sword lodged in his limb.
The surprising thing is that even though the sword was pierced, not a single drop of blood was shed.
“Go away…… ?”
“If you move, you get cut. Mister.”
“What is this-.”
“Your uncle tried to hit me first. This is self-defense.”
A state with a sword stuck in its body. Surprised by the current state of affairs, Gunther just gulped. And only then did he realize that the little boy he was arguing with was no ordinary person.
‘What is this…… A human being can wield such a skill?’
It wasn’t that the knife stuck in his body was fake or that he was hallucinating. His keen intuition as a prisoner told him that all of this was true.
But that’s why I couldn’t believe it all the more. It was because he couldn’t understand with his head what the hell he could do to insert a sword into his body without a single wound.
“Staff, please call the guards. The prisoner is making a fuss.”
“Yes? Yes!”
“—No, there is no need to call the guards.”
Slightly- Evan turned his head to where the voice came from and saw a woman standing there who looked like the Lainia he had seen earlier.
Approaching her guild with a bunch of guards behind her, she started clicking her tongue as she saw Gunther stuck in one of her swords.
“I sent someone to find them, but they made a fuss.”
“Go, head of the household. This is so…….”
“Are you ignoring the lord’s words not to make a fuss?”
“Oh no… ….”
“Then you ignored me when I promised the lord not to make a fuss?”
The woman called Gajoo trudged past her and stood in front of Gunther, who was stuck in a sword.
And ─ she mercilessly pulled out the stuck sword at him.
When Evan used the ‘demonic sword that only cuts what he wanted’ he had stolen from Cyrus, he pulled out the sword that had been technically inserted, and of course, Gunther’s limbs were cut off and blood fountains began to spurt.
“Quaaa!”
“Noisy.”
“Keukeeup, kekeheueup-!”
“—Here you are. Boy. I apologize for recklessly touching the sword.”
“No, that’s about it.”
Making eye contact with the woman passing the sword casually, Evan realized that this woman was not an ordinary person.
He’s ruthless and ruthless, a person close to a kind of psychopath.
However.
‘…… Driving me crazy.’
Since ancient times, even a crazy b*tch can be forgiven if she looks pretty. Evan didn’t even think about her actions.
It was as if she had been hypnotized into not hating her.
