11 Goddess country (2/2)

I laugh and look at the Commander.

He's a big man with a bald head and a scar on his face.

His belly sticks out a bit, but his arms are thick and he looks very strong.

'Where have you been, Dzumi?　You're in trouble, you have to stick it out to the heroes.

The Commander laughs.

'Why do I have to be pushed out by a brave man? ......

I shouted, almost crying.

'Han! That's because you killed the brave woman's father!

It wasn't me! I didn't do it!　That man was killed by the Lord Commander!　I killed that girl I was after because she became a brave woman!

Hey, hey, don't shout at the top of your lungs!

The Commander comes closer.

I step back.

'A brave man who was nearly killed by the Dark Knight has recovered, and he's trying to take my place for fear of retribution!

Shut the f*ck up!

The commanders draw their swords.

If they don't, they will be killed.

But even if I try to escape, my legs don't move well due to the alcohol I've been drinking.

Am I going to end up here?

I didn't want to. I don't want to die.

”Hey, can I have a minute?

Suddenly, I am approached by a voice.

It's a young man, judging by his voice.

The Commander and the others turn around.

I can't see the leader because he is in the shadows.

However, the person who called out to them passes through the group leaders and comes to me.

A person dressed in a black hooded robe stands in front of you.

I'm sorry ....... Could you please tell me what you just said?

A black hooded figure asks me.

I can't see what he looks like because the hood hides his face.

Who are you?

But that doesn't matter. I don't care who listens to me.

”Yeah, that's great, I'll listen to you ....... No, I'd rather you listen to me: .......

I'm going to tell you the story of my life.

”Wait a minute, brother. You'll get us in trouble if you hear that story!

The Commander thrusts his sword into the neck of the black hooded figure from behind.

'Um ....... I don't think you can complain about being hit back when you stick your sword at someone.''

As he says this, the black hooded figure grabs the Commander's sword. Then the Commander's sword disappears in black flames.

''Na!　What!　A sorcerer?!

The Commander lets out a surprised voice.

'I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to stop you from speaking for a while,'

The black hooded figure turns around and suddenly the commanders fall over.

I don't know what happened.

All of the commanders are holding their mouths.

If you look closely, it looks like their jaws are off.

''Fuga ...... Fuga ......''

The Commander looks at the black hooded figure as if he wants to say something.

His eyes are stained with fear.

'You can go if you won't tell anyone about what you've met here.

The black hooded figure says this and the commanders run away.

'Well, ....... Can you tell us the full story? The brave man is ...... rage is alive, isn't he?

I nodded at his words.

◆Dark Knight Kroki.

Myself and Nat move to the place where the man who calls himself Dzumi usually roosts.

Dozumi's roost is a wooden shack on the outskirts of the outer city.

It has holes in many places and looks as if it could break down at any moment.

'I didn't know that happened: ......

'Hehe, that's right mister: ......'

According to Dzumi's story, the leader of the warrior group he belonged to had his eye on a woman who was intercepted by a brave man.

Even though it's called a seizure, it doesn't mean that the leader was just forcing the woman to go out with the leader.

The Commander threatened the woman, telling her that he would kill her father if she didn't do what he said.

The woman is not a citizen of St. Leonard's Republic, so she is not protected by the law and has no choice but to follow the Commander's wishes.

That's when the heroic Rage appeared.

The woman asked Rage for help. The woman was beautiful, so Rage helped the woman.

The leader had no choice but to back down because he couldn't make an enemy of a brave man who was recognized by the Temple of Raina.

However, rumors circulated that Rage had died at the hands of the Dark Knight.

Because of Rage's death, the women can no longer receive protection, and the women's father died at the hands of the Commander.

But Rage was alive.

As expected, murder is not allowed in the outer city either.

Even when the woman's father was killed, the murderer was apparently hidden from view. But there's no way Rage wouldn't retaliate for such a thing.

That's why the Commander was afraid of Rage's retaliation and wanted to offer the sacrificial sheep.

That's the Dzumi in front of me.

However, I don't think that such a thing can deceive the eyes of Rage and the others, but I don't know what the Commander is thinking, so I'll keep it quiet.

''Thank you, for giving me good information,''

I take some gems out of the bag at my waist and give them to him.

Dzumi opens her eyes and looks at the jewels.

'This is ....... 'Are they real?'

Dzumi looks at the gems from different angles and even chews on them.

'Less?'

Dzumi shakes her head when she hears herself asking.

'If this is the real thing, I can run away from this place to another outer city. But mister, are you sure?　I don't care if you give me something this good.

Dzumi mumbles a bit and exclaims.

'Good, because you gave me the information I needed: ....... Besides, I'm getting this roost, right?

Dzumi shakes her head this time as she asks herself.

'Of course!　You can have a roost like this for your husband!　I'm getting out of this town!　Your husband can use this place as he pleases!

You can tell me all about it later: ......

'You can ask me anything you want!　I don't care if your husband is a demon!

Dzumi laughs and shakes her head.

Now we have a base of operations.

Now we just need to figure out how to find out about Rage and the others.
