Chapter8. Gently scratch the inside. (2)
“It’s a little annoying.”
When I look at the white snow that no one has ever touched, I want to leave messy footprints there.
Such spiteful thoughts grow bigger.
A heart that is younger than a child, but more vicious than an adult, and more sinister than an old man.
“It doesn’t seem like you’ve had any trouble at all.”
I went through such a hard time possessing this body.
If it weren’t for me, they would have been shaking with fear that the demon of Requiem would appear.
I wanted to step on their innocent faces without any worries, unaware of the bad luck that narrowly missed them.
really.
“…….”
The emptiness sleeping deep in my stomach stirred. It purred, opened its mouth wide, and whispered to me to put it in its mouth if I wanted to.
“……Ha. Let’s quit.”
Bringing up the energy of Requiem here is not a good choice.
“I don’t want to die in a carriage overturning accident.”
We succeeded in calming down the energy of the Requiem while coming this far.
It was all thanks to him that I was able to ride a horse other than Black Star and ride a carriage so peacefully.
Moreover, in this capital, there were powerful people who could sense the energy of the Requiem, although not as many as Diego.
“That guy will be here too.”
I thought of the main character, Cain, who would have entered my mansion in the capital by now.
Usually, nobles prepare several of their mansions on the capital’s land. To stay when attending events in the capital, which often happen.
But who is Abel’s father?
“Diego is not a great person to buy a mansion in a place like this.”
If that innocent old man had the money, he would spend it on buying weapons and armor to give to the knights.
“Anyway, you seem like a guy who doesn’t know how much money he spent.”
That stubbornness helped him rise to that position, but it was also a factor that kept him within the limits of that position.
“No, that’s still true. He is one of the four great lords.”
Does it make sense that there is not a single mansion in the capital? The original protagonist, Cain, already has several mansions in front of him.
It really is a very unfair and different start.
“After all, he is the one who has it all.”
I chewed on Cain’s nickname, which was used most often in the story.
A guy who has all the privileges of Munchkin water to himself, and literally has everything.
“Hmph, wait and see.”
That difference, I will take it all away and narrow it down.
“Whoa, whoa.”
The speed of the carriage slowed down along with the driver’s voice.
“You’ve arrived.”
I opened the carriage door and jumped out.
In front of me, I saw an inn building with a luxurious stone exterior. A place where nobles who could not afford a mansion in the capital mainly stayed.
“Well, it doesn’t look that bad.”
When I went in, the inside was nice too. No, in some ways it was better than my room at Ovest Estate.
I chose the best room and paid for it.
“I will definitely buy a mansion in the capital soon.”
I continued to grumble and headed to the stables on the first floor.
You cannot ride around on horseback in the capital. So I decided to leave the horse I rode, Brownie, here.
Why brownie?
“wow…….”
The stable boy’s mouth opened wide when he saw the horse.
“It’s awesome……!”
The guy couldn’t keep his mouth shut as he looked at the horse’s shiny body and neatly trimmed chocolate-colored mane.
“Take care of him. He’s expensive.”
I threw a silver coin as a tip to the stable boy.
“Yes, Nari! I understand!”
The boy’s loud answer was heard. The guy carefully held the reins and led the horse, fearing that he might get hurt.
I looked at the back and then turned around.
“Old Marco, it’s quite useful.”
That is a horse given to me by Lord Marco. It was also his favorite, a purebred horse with a pedigree certificate.
“It’s a gift, Cancer.”
Even though his eyes were filled with tears as he looked at the horse, and the hand that gave him the reins trembled.
“ha ha ha.”
I laughed out loud as I remembered his last face.
Anyway, it was the best horse I’ve ever ridden.
Although it was slower than Black Star, it was quite acceptable. Above all, he had an obedient personality and followed my orders well.
“As expected, the famous horse is different.”
As I left the inn, there was a necklace dangling from my chest that I had never seen before.
Clink.
There was a whistle hanging at the end. She picked it up and stared at it.
“How much money do you have hidden to come up with something like this?”

This was something I received just before leaving Bezerk Territory. Instead of blowing it up, I put it down again.
“If you blow it anyway, it won’t make any sound.”
This whistle emits a sound in a range inaudible to the human ear. Therefore, only me and Blackstar can hear and react.
“You must be having fun running around right now.”
Black Star released it into the forest around Bezerk territory. And I made this whistle sound and told it to come running when I blow it.
“It’s not time to bring him into the capital yet.”
Its appearance and outstanding abilities are very noticeable. So, if I stay in this type of accommodation, it is easy for my location to be exposed.
“Just wait a moment. We will soon find a comfortable place for you to stay.”
Of course, I had no intention of going around and looking for a mansion in person.
“I’ll be looking for someone to work for me soon.”
He grinned and got back into the carriage. And then she set off to do the first work of establishing my home in the capital.
“Wow, that’s so comfortable.”
The feel of my butt was so soft that it felt like I would become one with the chair.
As expected, the riding comfort of the carriages in the capital was different. As well as the color.
“Im here.”
Since the distance to travel was not long, we arrived at our destination quickly.
“great job.”
He jumped out of the carriage and handed the money to the driver.
“Wait until I finish work.”
“All right.”
Although it was my first time coming to this place, I knew what to see and where to find my way.
‘A sign in the shape of a rooster, and a pillar erected next to it.’
I followed the memories of the original and traced the path. I was able to quickly find what I was aiming for.
“Aha, there it is.”
I smiled and approached the tavern. I lowered the hood of my robe, fastened it carefully, and grabbed the doorknob.
‘Let me see.’
Before opening the door, I unfolded the absolute domain.
It was a new habit I acquired after obtaining Requiem. Before visiting another place, it is important to check the interior to the absolute extent.
‘Three, huh? ‘It looks like there are no customers.’
It seemed like only the people I expected were gathered there. If there was someone else, I would have had to kick them out, but it was fortunate that it was less of a hassle.
Sweet.
The door must have been well oiled, so it opened without any noise.
Sunlight streamed through the gap created when the door opened. Tables and chairs were seen scattered along the path.
“welcome.”
A middle-aged woman who was sweeping the floor politely greeted me. After she nodded, I looked around inside her.
At the counter, a dark-looking man was writing something on a piece of paper. The stack of paper was quite thick, so it appeared to be a ledger.
“Welcome, sir.”
Another male clerk hurriedly approached. He spoke bluntly with a business smile on his face.
“I’ll show you to your seat.”
The clerk guided me to a table and set down plates, cutlery, water glasses, and a menu.
“What would you like to order?”
I skimmed through the menu without even looking at it. It was a place that sold cheap alcohol and simple snacks.
“I’ll think about it for a while. I’ll call you when I decide.”
When I held out my hand, the clerk bowed his head and turned away. The moment he turned around, I saw the bluish tips of his fingernails.
‘Hmm.’
I looked at the menu and looked beyond it at the man sitting at the counter. To be exact, fists studded with razor-blue nails and palms full of calluses.
‘I guess I’ve come to the right place.’
My eyes narrowed slightly.
I licked my lips and waited for the right time to come. To be exact, until a middle-aged woman came near me.
“hey.”
When I tapped her arm, the woman who was wiping another table turned around.
“Yes, sir. Would you like to order?”
“No. Rather, I’m interested in that.”
At that moment, the air inside the tavern changed slightly. I felt both the man at the counter and the other clerks were looking at me.
The woman smiled vaguely.
“Are you talking about me?”
She scanned my face with folded eyes.
‘Is this guy crazy?’
Although it was hidden behind a smile, her bright blue eyes said so.
Because it was a strange situation where a man with a young voice was interested in a middle-aged woman.
A hot-blooded young man usually looks for a woman around his age or younger.
“I’m sorry, sir, but I….”
“I know you’re not married. You don’t even have a ring, right?”
“Don’t you think that you couldn’t get the ring because you couldn’t afford it?”
The woman spoke charmingly and smiled. She had a very refreshing smile that did not match her wrinkled face.
“There are no women here who are suitable for you. You should look for another store….”
“no.”
I cut off the woman’s conciliation with a single sword.
“You’re my age.”
The woman’s eyes widened slightly. She was startled and tried to back away, but I quickly grabbed her arm.
“ah.”
The woman who was grabbed by the wrist could no longer retreat.
“-!”
The mood of the man at the counter and the clerk changed.
If it was just keeping an eye on me earlier, it is now in a sharp state ready to attack me at any time.
The two men watched me with their entire bodies tense.
“I’m a bit young, right?”
The woman slowly raised the corners of her mouth as if nothing had happened.
“Thank you for looking at me young. You have a big heart.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
He shook his head slowly and added in a meaningful voice.
“Crudelle.”
The woman’s face fell uncontrollably.
Crudelle.
The symptoms of this disease are similar to aging. Elastic skin becomes wrinkled, and once white and smooth skin develops age spots and wrinkles spread.
However, as time passes, it spreads to organs and eventually leads to death.
No matter what medicine is used or what doctor looks after, there is no improvement. Of course, full recovery is impossible.
The actual age of the woman standing in front of me is in her 20s. However, her appearance on the outside now appears to be in her 40s, or at least 50s.
She was suffering from an incurable disease that cruelly robbed her of what should have been the most beautiful moments.
“…….”
The woman’s right fist was seen clenched. Finally, this clenched voice was heard.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
There was a faint hint of shame and frustration at the end of her words. There was a crack in his composure, which had not been shaken by my sudden and blatant flirtation.
“…….”
The woman closed her eyes tightly. Surprisingly, she suppressed her agitation and regained her composure in that short period of time.
“It’s difficult to keep acting like this. If that’s all we have to do, can we just leave?”
