“Arghh…” A gasp of pain escaped fros were both cut deeply despite his armor

Bang! He siround

“Gah…”

“Hah, hah…”

He looked at me; eyes filled with horror, pain, and fear

“Derval, let's go”

“Yes… K-Kyre-nim”

Derval li his whole body covered in bruises

'So I should clean up starting from there'

Leader Pavess' words to survive on my ohirled in my ears, as well his words that while this was a part of the eoes on here

A land of anarchy That description seemed to suit this place very well

'Dammit…'

My whole body was drenched with blood from the completely unexpected battle One part of ht had been so vivid that I couldn't think of it as a dream

I was finally able to experience the cold reality of this continent, the reality of having to raise your sword and fight in order to survive

'If you touch me… I will return the favor An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'

I supported Derval and returned to the hangar

The very first day at the Weyn Covert kicked off with a battle of life and death

It occurred towould happen frequently from now on

Crackle

After returning to the hangar, a group of people appeared, grabbed the collapsed soldiers and knights, then fled

As night fell, I gathered sticks and made a fire

'A glass of alcohol would be nice'

Even if I wasn't a murderer, the fact that I had sliced over ten people's bodies with my sword alone was a shock

“I'ain, because of etic expression

“Derval… You are my comrade”

“Kyre-nim…”

“Haha But what to do? At this rate, we'll starve tonight, won't we?”

We had skipped lunch due to wanting to arrive at Weyn Covert as soon as possible, but now it looked like ould bedinner, too

“I will go get so”

“It's fine You want to hit the bucket for good?”

Despite being called a “covert,” this place was aluishable from the mercenary world

'Is the guy na shot here?'

One of the knights that fell to my sword had mentioned someone named “Lukence” His followers had suffered, but up until now, there was no movement from him

Thump, thump

'Have they co our way

Despite being a covert, Weyn Covert didn't have any ures approached us from within the darkness

'Janice?'

One of the people approaching was the woman Janice, whom I had met in the daytime

“You're a felloith big guts To think you're cal Viscount Lukence's kids like that” Speaking like a man, Janice's slender body moved to stand in front of me

“Haha This friend, you're quite soe mishap on your first day I really didn't expect you to hts and soldiers of Lukence, who is called the Invisible Lord of Denfors”

“I knew there was soood Fro with just one swing each”

The Skyknights next to Janice added some words of their own

“Did you bring that alcohol to share?”

“Of course! It's a sn of my sincerity towards the hero who ht”

“We've got snacks here, too”

“You're the first likable fellow to have arrived in a while, so we had to come and welcome you”

Janice was holding a bottle of alcohol that was longer than a regular bottle She spoke eloquentlyas she plopped down next to me The male comrades next to her also hurried to sit down

“This alpoju—also called the Sun's Tears—goes hand in hand with oily roast kelo”

Food was piled up on a large leaf

'Isn't that eel?'

On the leaf was a roasted fish that looked just like saltwater eel, glistening with oil

Pop~!

“Alrighty! Today's hero, drink up”

Janice pulled out the cork and passed over the bottle My mood was in the shi+tter, so I took the bottle without hesitation

'It's subtle'

This alcohol had a grandiose na

“Over here, we determine how much of a o”

'Heh, looking down on me'

I was someone who had frequently snuck sips of the liquor in hts looked down onthat hurt my pride

I raised the bottle And then, I opened my mouth wide and poured in the alcohol

FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHH

The moment the alcohol hit, my mouth lost all sensation I could only feel the drops of alcohol going down my throat

Even as I held the bottle, tears ca out of my eyes

“GAAAHH!”

I wasn't even a dragon, but it felt like fla out ofas if I had sed lava

'MOMMYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

“PUHAHAHAHAHA!”

“Oh, oh my God, my stomach Kuhahahahaha!”

Completely insensitive to hts clutched their bellies and roared with laughter

“W-WAAAATEEER!”

I tore the bottle from my mouth and desperately looked for water

“Eat this Roast kelo will soothe the heat” Janice passed over a piece of the fish

I immediately shoved it into my mouth and chewed

'Eh? WTF?'

Surprisingly, as soon as the roast kelo went intoheat completely vanished

'These fuckers They planned to '

I was also at fault for falling for their words, but these two set h they kne intense this alcohol was

'Horsehead, and Humpty Dumpty! I'll remember you two'

Soenerous, but at tiuys' faces deep into et back at

Glug glug

'Oi oi oi? I drank from that just now…'

Having taken the bottle froed down the incredibly potent alpoju

'I-Indirect kiss!!'

My saliva was still on that bottle! Janice put it to her orously drank up

“Kyaa…”

Pulling back, Janice's brows furrowed a bit She enjoyed the potency without even eating any roast kelo

“So ill you do now?” asked Janice, looking straight into my eyes

“What do you mean?”

“Huhu… You've messed with Viscount Lukence, so it'll be awfully hard to sleep from now on”

“Doesn't matter… Because I'll trample down everyone who comes”

“On your own?” queried Janice, her eyes wide at my brazen response

“I've always liked playing alone”

“Is that so? Huhu I'll be watching to see just how long you can live with that confidence And… if it's difficult, just tell , I'll protect you”

'Was that her goal?'

I didn't kno things were here Sohts
