Chapter 5 – Episode 5 – High School Students Leave Home
Arriving at the dungeon, I was thrown into a narrow solitary cell.
“Ugh!”
My body rolled across the floor, tied tightly with rope. Then there was a sharp sound of the iron grating closing.
“Look guys! You seem to have misunderstood something! I am not one to be here!”
I barely came to my senses on the cold floor and shouted outside, but all I got back was a sneer.
“Stupid bastard. Did you think the queen would be fooled by such a petty and vile lie? You don’t even deserve to starve to death in this cold prison. Before dawn tomorrow, you will be taken to the execution ground and disappear into the dew of the execution ground!”
The captain of the Guard shouted at me and spat into the cell.
Bastard, I will definitely get revenge on you later.
I crawled to the corner of the solitary cell and leaned against it.
Why did the queen change her attitude so suddenly? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand it well.
Didn’t he hate that I corrupted his friend? No, if that was the case, I would have restrained myself from the time I slept on Naza’s breasts.
Or did the Queen really mean that my methods were so shallow?
If I corrupt the demon lord as a female, then the corrupt demon lord will try to corrupt all the women in this world as females?
That’s the most convincing word for now, but it’s not a perfect explanation either. From the Queen’s point of view, stopping the Demon King would be an urgent priority.
And if I were the kind of being who could only corrupt females, I would have to subdue the demon king and then slit both the head of the demon king and myself.
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t think of any reason. Why is that?
However, such worries quickly disappeared in the cold of the dungeon.
It was cold enough to make the bones ache in a solitary cell where even the common matting did not exist. I curled up as best I could.
It’s been a while since I died, but I’m going to die again.
At least the last time I died while having sex, but this time I’m freezing to death in a prison with no one around…
‘No, Naja will definitely come to save me.’
I endured and endured in solitary confinement with a faint hope.
How much time had passed
There was a faint vibration outside, followed by the sound of someone clearing his throat in front of the iron grate.
I crawled straight towards the iron grate.
Before long, the one who appeared in front of me was none other than Queen Helia.
“Queen? What are you doing here? No, how did you come?”
“Shh, lower your voice.”
Whispered the queen, putting her finger to her lips.
“I came down secretly like this because I have something to tell you.”
“If you want to say something..?”
“It is still very loud.”
The queen looked around her and held out to me something of hers that had been hidden in her bosom.
“Take it.”
“I want to receive it too, but I can’t because my whole body is tied up with ropes.”
“Then… “
The queen closed her eyes for a moment and muttered something of her own. Then, the rope that was holding me down burned up in an instant and disappeared.
Interestingly, none of the lights were hot. Is this magic power?
“Come on, take it. There is no time.”
It was none other than a lockpick that the queen reached through her bars and handed to me.
“Pick the lock on the sewer in the solitary cell and enter. The sewer leads to the river, so you should be able to escape by following the waterway.”
“But I don’t know how to open a lock with a lockpick.”
“I believe that if you are a real hero, you will do it on your own.”
Ohhh, is it a bit like a quest? Alright, if I can get out of this hellish solitary cell, I’ll try again and again.
“If you are truly a hero who will save this country, obey the demon king as you said and come.”
“Does the Queen trust me?”
“I saw potential in you. However, if the royal family appoints you as a warrior, the people of this country will be greatly shaken. That’s why I’m sending you like this. Go, go, submit the demon king and come.”
“All right. I will make sure to corrupt the demon king as a female and come back and let the queen know the taste of females.”
“… It was okay not to have to say the last word. And don’t go to the place where Naja is for the time being. If the captain of the guard finds out you’re gone, he’ll start searching from there.”
The queen disappeared in an instant with a faint vibration. She must have used space movement magic.
‘No, if you know how to use teleportation, you can just teleport me. Why are you so bothered?’
While grunting, I immediately ran toward the sewer lid. The sewer lid was firmly closed with a padlock.
‘Good. You can pick it up with the lockpick the queen gave you.’
I immediately pushed the lock opener into the lock and turned it around. But the lock hardly ever thought to open.
“Open up!”
Frowning my face, I pushed the lock opener into the lock several times with force, and as a result of such a long effort, the lock opened with a click.
“Good!”
I crawled right into the sewer. Living now was more important than saving face, so even the toxic smell of the sewage system couldn’t stop me.
***
“Puha!”
After barely getting out, I was able to surface in the middle of a small river.
‘It was an experience I don’t want to do again.’
Exploring the sewers, where filth is pouring everywhere and rats the size of a forearm are roaming around, has never been a pleasant experience.
Besides, why were the rats so violent, as soon as they saw me, they tried to bite me, so I had no choice but to run away.
‘A warrior who only knows how to corrupt females, but has no skills to protect himself.’
A laugh came out. This… Warrior?
Having swam to the river, I took off my clothes and lay down by the river for a while. A cool breeze blew and dried my body.
How long have you been lying down?
“Kyaaaaa!!!”
I heard someone startle. Surprised at the same time, I raised my upper body and looked around.
About 10 meters away stood a woman with her hands covering her eyes.
I was about to say hello, but then I remembered that I wasn’t wearing any clothes. It reminds me of my first meeting with three women.
“Kyaaak! It’s pervert!”
The woman screamed and hit her back.
“No, I’m not a pervert, but a dragon… “
I was about to introduce myself as a hero, but I had no choice but to stop.
‘… The people will be greatly agitated… ‘
The queen seemed to want me to hide that I was a warrior. Besides, if I said that I was a hero here, the angry captain of the guards might send soldiers to pursue him.
“Uh… “
“Guards!!!”
While she was thinking about what to say, the woman called the guards and ran away. Then I saw two guards running toward me.
“Sleep, sleep, wait!”
I hurriedly picked up my clothes and ran away from the guards.
“Stand there! You pervert bastard!”
The guards brandished their weapons and pursued me furiously. In desperation, I jumped into the river and ran to the other side of the river.
It was because of the thought that even if it was light armor, the combat uniform would not be able to swim.
As if my prediction was correct, the guards stopped pursuing me from the moment I started swimming.
I managed to escape thanks to working hard to seduce women, but my clothes were wet again and my stomach growled.
After deciding to visit the market, I walked towards the center of the city dripping with wet clothes.
The appearance of the city was typical of a medieval town. Thanks to that, finding the market was not that difficult.
Entering the market street, I immediately went out to find something to eat.
It would be suspicious to see a person wearing wet clothes wandering around, but people didn’t even pay attention to me because they were all doing their own work.
I was wandering around the market floor for so long that I smelled fragrant bread somewhere. I naturally followed the smell of bread.
After turning the corner, there was a bakery with a lot of freshly baked brown bread on display.
“Come on!”
The nice-looking bakery owner smiled brightly at me.
“What can I get you?”
“What is the most delicious bread here?”
“Oh, this mammoth bread baked today is excellent. Would you like to try it?”
Without hesitation, I popped a piece of mammoth bread into my mouth.
“Mm~ delicious!”
“Yes? As for this bread… “
While the bakery owner explained various things about bread, I ate a loaf of mammoth bread like a crab, blindfolded.
“Now, give me the money.”
The bakery owner held out his hand to me and said. As I casually rummaged through my pockets, I remembered that this was a different world from the one I lived in.
When I came here, I came naked, and there was no way I had a wallet, and even if I did, there was no way the money could be spent here.
“I… I don’t have money… “
Then the shop owner’s friendly face hardened in an instant.
“What, you ate bread without money?”
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t know you had no money… “
“That makes sense!!!”
In an instant, the baker’s face turned red. Wow, how can people change so quickly? Are you a psychopath?
Whatever it was, I was right about what I did wrong, so I bowed my head and asked for forgiveness.
“I’m too hungry to stop… Please take a look.”
“Do you think there are only one or two hungry people on this street? If you look after everything like that, my store will go out of business! Eh, you’re out of luck. Get out of my store right now! Before reporting to the guards by radio!”
The owner said with the momentum to kick my butt right away. I had no choice but to come out, oppressed by the momentum.
This is a real problem. A person needs to eat, change clothes, and sleep somewhere, but he has no money, so he can’t do it.
When I left home, they said I was a high school student, and now I think I know what that feels like.
Besides, there was nowhere to turn for help.
The queen is kind to me to some extent, but if she went into the palace to ask the queen for help, it was almost certain that the head of the guards would cut her throat.
Going to Naja’s place was also dangerous. She was such that the Queen gave her direct attention.
In the end, the only option left for me was to become a beggar begging while sleeping in the alley.
‘If you’re going to give me a lockpick, maybe give me some money… ‘
As I was walking down the street depressingly with that thought in mind, I smelled a familiar scent somewhere.
It didn’t really smell like a scent, but I could tell. That place is very familiar to me.
Without hesitation, I opened the door of a store without a sign in a back alley.
And what’s inside is as I expected…
It was an adult store.
