Episode 86. Lamberstar Cage (5)
A night street with bright red lights occupying the alley.
The smell of alcohol wafted from everywhere along with the women’s cheerful laughter.
Two men smoking cigarettes under a tree with red lights hanging on it.
They were talking about what happened in the Lamberstar cage a little while ago.
“I think this is my first time seeing it. Delkia’s smile full of joy. “I heard that everyone who saw me was shaking?”
“Who doesn’t? You were absolutely furious, saying that they would make it impossible for you to be a man until you left, right? But just now, you really seemed like a different person!”
When a person behaves differently than usual, people around them tend to be embarrassed.
That was exactly the Delkia they saw today.
“I heard that you can hear laughter and screams coming from Delkia’s room right now? “There is no sign of him coming out at all.”
“Huh, it looks like you really fell in love with that kid. “Soon, there will be one more picture frame in Delkia’s room.”
As if they were expecting something bad, the two men shook their heads in unison.
“But will it be okay? From what I heard, that boy named Shion sent away his first opponent in the cage, Zellbird, in one go? “Just like the look in his eyes, he doesn’t seem like a young kid.”
“You know that once Delkia sets her sights on something, she doesn’t care about anything, right? “I’m sure he’ll do whatever it takes to bring you back.”
“Well, we’re going to be really tired… … .”
The two men’s shoulders slumped.
“But do you remember that boy’s face?”
“huh? He definitely had black hair and very sharp eyes… … reel? “You don’t remember?”
It was only 2 hours ago that I went to the cage.
Even if they could remember vividly, the face of the boy named Zion could not be pictured in the two men’s minds.
It didn’t just apply to them.
The same was true for Delkia, who had paid the most attention to Shion’s face.
“It doesn’t come to mind! “I can’t think of it!”
Dozens of loosely packed papers are scattered around the room.
The image of a person was drawn in an all messed up manner.
“He was definitely the best kid I’ve ever seen! He was a man you had never seen before! “Why doesn’t he come to mind?”
Even if I tear out and shake my head, I can’t remember Shion’s face.
Rather, the more I tried to remember it, the more I felt like it was being forgotten.
“certainly! certainly! We have to bring him back at all costs! “It’s impossible for that young and lovely face to change with age!”
As a loud noise spread out like a scream, the picture frames in the room began to shake.
-tuk
Some of them fell helplessly and fell to the floor, but Delkia didn’t care at all.
“Zion! Zion! Zion!”
He just shouted the boy’s name over and over again with crazy eyes.
* * *
“So, that bitch Delkia came to the cage and caused a ruckus?”
The other side of light, a dark space with shadows.
A woman with a neutral voice grinned after hearing the report.
“What about that boy named Zion?”
“I went out to get some fresh air. I already told Del Kia about her s*xual preferences, so she probably won’t go looking for me. “She seemed reluctant to do it, too.”
“like? Lisa, you even gave me advice yourself? “That’s surprising.”
At this, Lisa’s pupils shook slightly.
“Well, I was just managing VIP guests. There were absolutely no personal feelings. Anyway, that boy was an important person who came back for the first time in a while… … .”
-False
While the conversation was in full swing, the front door in the back was swung open.
The person who kicked the door came inside with a smile on his face.
“Gunther?!”
It was Gunther Rictus, the owner of the western waste dump.
“Hey, are you still using this old room? “Isn’t it time to move on?”
“Gunther! “Where are you?”
Lisa, who was startled, quickly tried to stop her, but the woman in the shadows raised her hand to stop her.
Immediately, he lifted his chin and smiled curiously.
“You’ve grown so much! Gunter? Doesn’t it seem like just yesterday that we were clearing out trash from the cage? I haven’t forgotten the taste of that trash, so it probably still remains in that place… … .”
“Let’s not make fun of our mouths. Then it can get really torn apart. “I’m having a hard time controlling my emotions these days.”
Despite the harsh warning, the woman paid no heed.
“It’s okay, I’ll just talk about business.” “Please register me as a player in that arena.”
Lisa came out angrily.
“Are you out of your mind? What is this guy who was expelled a long time ago saying now? Suddenly, in an arena… … .”
“To get together with that guy named Shion!”
Gunther spoke proudly, as if he was showing off.
“Isn’t it good for my sister and brother-in-law? Think about it! Are you saying that I, no one else, will come back to the arena? If I and that little guy were to fight, wouldn’t there be a huge crowd of people? So who benefits? “It’s you!”
Unlike Lisa, who was speechless, the woman smiled happily.
“haha. That’s really you, Gunther. “Do you really want to fight with our VIP guest?”
“Why don’t you just answer me instead of talking nonsense? Are you going to do it? “Are you going to tell me?”
The woman gave an indifferent answer to the seemingly innocent question.
“good. I’ll arrange a match with that guy named Shion, whatever you want. Instead, I can’t catch it right away. You’ve only just made your debut, right? “We need to turn up the heat a little more.”
Although the debut match was spectacular, it would be foolish to schedule a big game right away.
The rule here was to gradually increase your position by accumulating victories and then induce more money from the audience.

“After all, making money is just as exciting? Don’t make me wait too long! “You know I’m an impatient person, right?”
After completing his business, Gunther left without looking back.
“Are you sure it’s okay, Lindsay? Since that person, Zion, is not in the position we hired, it is impossible for the match to take place if he does not want to.”
Zion’s position was that of a guest.
It was safe to say that if he did not want to play the match and left now, Cage would have virtually no reason to catch him.
“That boy probably came here because he wanted something. First, Lisa, try to understand his intentions. “If there are conditions, it’s okay to make your own judgment and make them come true.”
“Do you mean me?”
“Can’t you?”
“Oh, no! “I will make sure to arrange a match between that boy and Gunther!”
After finishing the report, Lisa immediately left the room.
The woman left alone smiled mischievously and disappeared a moment later.
* * *
There is only one reason why I participated in the cage as a player.
The purpose is to find Lindsey Nihalov, the owner of this facility and the assassination target.
What I have to do for this is simple.
Just beat every fighter in the cage.
Due to the nature of the arena, if one player continues an overwhelming winning streak, spectators will naturally flock to place their bets.
Then you will naturally have no choice but to find me.
I don’t intend to make it take that long.
From my perspective, this city doesn’t seem right for me.
-Hwiiing
As always, the streets at night are always quiet.
First of all, just in case, I turned my back on the west side, which is said to have an entertainment alley.
That woman named Delcia,
I thought it wasn’t normal, but I didn’t know that it would be such a taste that I couldn’t even put it into words.
Unless the target is there, I probably won’t go there.
-tuk
Something came out of the corner and collided with my body.
“S-sorry!”
Unlike during the day, this time the apple came right away.
But I think I would feel a little sorry to receive an apology.
I asked, offering my hand to the fallen man.
“Are you hurt?”
It was a young boy who seemed to be eight years old.
“Yes, go, thank you.”
In his hands, he was holding a basket the size of his body.
The way he hesitated while looking at me seemed like he had something to say.
“Ho, if you need it, why don’t you buy this?”
The basket’s cloth was lifted to reveal its contents.
It was a cigarette.
Not just one or two, but enough to fill the entire basket.
For a moment, I was so dumbfounded that I burst into laughter.
“Sorry, I’m a non-smoker.”
Even though I didn’t open it in my previous life to begin with.
“Oh, I see. sorry!”
The child lowered his head and tried to leave in a hurry.
“Where did you get that cigarette from?”
“I got it from the Gray Merchants Association!”
“Gray Merchants Association?”
It was the first group I heard about.
First of all, leaving the details aside, is this a place where young kids are made to sell cigarettes?
Well, looking back on what kind of place this city is, I thought it was quite possible.
“Do you have to sell all of that before you can go back?”
“yes! I have to sell everything before the sun rises in the morning. Otherwise… … .”
The child could not bear to continue talking.
Judging by the fact that the two hands holding the basket were shaking, it was roughly what I expected.
“Is there a place to sell? “Where are you going to sell all that stuff?”
“So now I was going to the west entertainment alley. If you wander around all night, on a lucky day, they might all be sold. Then we can go back.”
If you’re lucky, you can go back.
I don’t think the place I would return to like that would be a very good place, right?
This probably isn’t the only child walking around like this.
I knew it was a dirty city, but this city… … It’s more dirty than you think.
“Ugh.”
I sighed and took out a gold coin from my pocket.
“receive.
“yes?”
The bewildered face was so pitiful.
“Well, if it’s a gold coin, I have nothing to offer… … .”
“I do not need. Take this and give me all those cigarettes. “I’ll buy it all.”
To put it bluntly, he couldn’t have been an incredibly popular customer.
“Oh, and one more thing.”
Without stopping, I took out another gold coin and this time put it in the child’s pocket.
“Why is this… … ?”
“If you give it to me, nothing will fall. “This is whatever you want to use.”
Tears began to form on the child’s face.
“Thank you! thank you!”
The child was clearly saying thank you, but he was rubbing his hands together.
It was as if he was begging me not to hit him.
[Isn’t it too late yet? Just turn into a philanthropist.]
I can’t say no.
Just like during Lunav, I feel like I’m becoming more rounded.
It’s not very pleasant even though it’s not the right thing to do.
I stayed in that position for a while even after sending my child away.
[Why did you become a plaster statue again?]
“I just think something will feel uncomfortable if it continues like this.”
It’s a feeling, but it’s something like that.
In other words, it feels like if I don’t get out of here, I’ll get caught up in something… … .
“Aaaah!”
A child’s scream rang out faintly.
At that moment, I thought my premonition was correct.
I quickly turned around and headed towards the place where the sound was coming from.
“hey! You said you would kill me if I sold cigarettes in this area again, right? “Don’t what I say sound like what I said?”
“Well, I’m going to sell it all and go back now…” … .”
The child said, showing the empty basket with trembling hands.
“uh? What, did you really sell everything? “Didn’t you hide this somewhere?”
Three adult men and one kid I saw just now.
I could tell what the situation was just by looking at him standing there.
“uh? hey! “Is there a gold coin in his pocket?”
“Oh, no! that… … !”
It was an indifferent kick to the child who was trying to protect him.
“You bastard! Where did you steal this? This isn’t something a kid like you can have, right? And there are not one, but two.”
Finally, he searched his pockets and found the remaining gold coins.
“Well, that was given to me by someone…” … “Keck.”
The child was so kicked in the stomach that he couldn’t even breathe properly.
“Don’t lie! “Where did you steal it from?”
“Hey, this was a windfall? “With this, I can really have fun in the entertainment alley today!”
“Today is a very lucky day! Kihaha!”
I walked in front of them without saying a word.
“huh? What is this kid… … Argh!”
He held the gold coin in his hand and twisted it around.
-Crack!
The twisting and screaming sounds combined to create exquisite harmony.
Maybe this guy will have to eat with his other hand starting tomorrow.
“W-what is this kid?”
An unfamiliar fist came flying at me from behind, so I grabbed the guy’s wrist and kicked him forward.
It was the guy who mercilessly kicked the kid a little while ago.
I grabbed one of his ankles and broke it without hesitation.
“Aaaahhh!”
This friend will probably have a hard time walking normally starting tomorrow.
Even if a child like this gets his money stolen or suffers injustice, there is no one who can save him.
I picked up the fallen gold coin and handed it back to the child.
“uh… … .”
The child just had a puzzled expression, just like before.
-clap clap clap
Suddenly, an eerie sound of applause was heard from behind.
When I slowly turned my head, I saw a large, unfamiliar figure resembling a bear clapping as he looked at me.
“What is this? I’m so lucky by chance. “You’re saying we can all meet in a place like this?”
When I heard his voice, it sounded like he knew me.
Of course, I don’t know.
However, looking at the atmosphere felt, it did not seem like an ambiguous miscellaneous ship.
“You are right? “The new guy named Sion.”
