After dinner back at the base, intense negotiations with Schuler awaited.
"Schuler bought soap when I was in school."
"Would you like to take a quiet bath with me?"
"I refuse. I want to go and take a dip in a quiet place alone."
"There's soap and it smells nice. You can blow bubbles."
"Uh okay, even so, I'd better go in alone."
"Don't you want to fall asleep together with the nice scent?"
"I'm going to sleep on my own futon today, so that's okay. It's already fluffy."
"Mu, I won't let you do this."
He used his footsteps to escape from Shur's demonic hand, which was approaching him, his hands trembling as he tried to exert force.
"Stop joking! Do it in front!"
"animal!"
"Fenya! Naaaahhhh"
After being scolded by Sergio, he flinched and was grabbed by Schuler and dragged into the bathroom.
On this day alone I feel like I understand a lot more about the fact that cats hate bathing.
"The smell is fresh and nice, different from Laila's, and I really like the beautiful scenery and milk pillows, but I will definitely go in alone tomorrow."
Since I had to prepare my pajamas, I went up to the attic and blocked the stairs and windows with a shield.
"Hua Wuming, you tricked me into letting me enjoy your quiet and fluffy fur."
"I don't like it, please use your own tail and be patient."
"I can't stand it anymore. Come out quietly. Hua Wuming is completely surrounded."
"Then I will be Nuku Nuku in that siege. Good night."
"Muu, prepare for tomorrow's meeting."
The new futon I bought today has been dried on mite removal mode just in case and the new sheets feel perfect.
I wanted to get into bed and sleep until dawn, but after listening to the instructions from downstairs, I quietly slipped out of bed.
Instead of pajamas, I'm wearing a black shirt and black shorts that I bought on the way home from school.
"It's not a very expensive item, so I'm glad the fabric isn't shiny."
I never forget to brush every morning and night and it hides my shiny coat.
If you squat in the dark and close your eyes, even people with enhanced vision will ignore their presence.
I used natural detection magic to search outside the closed windows. After confirming that no one was there, I gently opened the window to avoid making any noise and walked to the roof.
I also used steps so the roof wouldn't creak.
Looking up, the night sky is covered with thin clouds, and the crescent moon is faintly visible.
I squatted on the roof and listened carefully to what was going on around me.
It was not yet late at night, and the noise of people could be heard in the distance, but the Chariot members seemed to be in their own rooms, so they could not be heard.
He stood up quietly and began to move along the steps of the roof.
“I’m headed in the direction of the ghetto.”
Sergio told me never to go near him, but I couldn't help but worry.
It seems that if a well-dressed person steps into it, he may be stripped of his clothes or even lose his life.
I also heard about favelas from Mr. Mendez, Mr. Rumbold, and people in the store where I bought my clothes, but they all said we shouldn't go near them.
I couldn't imagine that my eldest brother, a catkin who grew up in the countryside, could live a decent life in such a dangerous place.
"I was prepared for the dangers, but at least I wanted to see for myself what kind of town this was."
As we passed through the warehouse district and approached the shanty towns, the look of the town completely changed.
There aren't many street lights in the Warehouse District, but even if you don't have a light on hand, you can somehow walk past it.
However, the area known as the shanty town was dark, as if it was the only place that was plunged into darkness, and the air was filled with an unpleasant stench.
Looking down from the rooftops of warehouses on the edge of the city, a group of shacks spread out like a maze.
The center of the shantytown appears to be a depression lower than its surroundings.
True or not, there are rumors that those who control the shanty towns are lurking deep underground, digging deeper into the already low-lying center of the depression.
As I made my way along the edge of the city, there was a dimly lit area.
The smell of cheesy perfume and cigarettes sticks to your nose. It seems to be a place where prostitutes gather.
Leaning against the wall, smoking cigarettes, women of various races shouted to passing men.
If Miss Leila is a rose that blooms at night, then this place is like a community of carnivorous plants.
He squatted on the roof of the warehouse, casting detection magic on the surroundings while observing the streets, but what he saw were women selling their bodies, men with ulterior motives, and sometimes even ferocious-looking tigers or werewolves. .only
I didn't think I could get much useful information just by looking at it from this side, but the street was brighter than I expected, and people who were used to looking at me could see me even though I was completely covered in black. Right.
As I was thinking about taking a detour to infiltrate the darker areas, I saw a light a little further away, so I moved there.
The lights were on, but the sky was much darker than before, and the people standing on the road were different.
In the place just now, there were women with human appearance such as sheep people, goat people, and cow people, as well as races with human appearance such as rabbit people and cat people. It was a female and a male prostitute.
Obviously, the brighter the place, the higher the price, and the darker the place, the less money they make selling their bodies.
A rabbit girl was hugged by a fat pig man and disappeared into the darkness of the slum.
I know it's not anything I can do right now, but a black rage like the darkness of the ghetto begins to swirl in my chest.
On a whim, I tried to make a microphone with natural magic in the darkness of the slums, but I immediately regretted it.
What I heard was the laughter of vulgar men and the screams of women.
I turned off the sound-collecting microphone and breathed calmly to control my agitation.
There seemed to be no point in continuing to observe like this, so when I wanted to go back, I was attracted by a man walking on the street.
He's a flighty rider who looks like he's just hanging out on the streets.
"I remember seeing it somewhere, but I can't remember it at the moment."
"Ah, that time"
When I first met Leos, he ditched me while I was in line to buy a guild.
After leaving the guild, he attacked me, so I remember knocking him out.
Mahan came over and looked at the prostitutes on the street with a lewd smile on his face.
As he passed the warehouse where I was, he walked farther into the darkness, but suddenly stopped and moved closer to the wall.
"ah"
I almost lost my voice and quickly covered my mouth with my palms.
The approaching rider is a cat burglar who has stolen bread from the market.
After strengthening his body and improving his eyesight, I looked at his face. Although it was dirty and thin, there was no doubt that he was the second brother.
I quickly set up a microphone above their heads and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"How much, Nyangkoro?"
"These, three silver coins"
"Ah? You dirty nyankoro, you have three silver coins, are you going to lick it?"
When the centaur raised his voice, the brother shook his body and lowered his ears.
You can see the heavily coated tail curled up.
"Two silver coins will do"
"? One silver coin, five copper coins. If you don't like it, I won't say anything."
"Okay, this way"
The brother invites the knight into the maze of the military camp.
I thought I was supposed to run out and grab my brother and drag him home, but right behind the two of us, a werewolf appeared on the street.
He had a large scar on his left cheek and he looked around the street before immediately turning his eyes to me and waving his arms.
The shield I had made just in case screeched.
It seemed like something was being thrown at me, but even though I had strengthened my vision, I couldn't see anything.
I quickly retreated and ran towards the warehouse area as hard as I could, but uneasy sweat was pouring down my back.
I don't know who he is, but there is no doubt that he is the strong one in Mr. Zeol's class.
"With a guy like that hanging around, I guess I can't accidentally approach him."
My heart boils when I think about what will happen to my brother in the future, but it is difficult to find a place to live after I come back.
After confirming that you are not being followed, leave the warehouse area and return to base.
As I walked up the steps to the roof, I suddenly felt tired.
For the time being, as long as it can be confirmed that the cat thief is the second brother and lives in a slum, it can be considered a gain.
I gently opened the skylight and entered the attic, where I was lifted and tried to crawl into the futon.
"Fumia!"
"Go out at night, Hua Wuming, I caught you"
"No, there's a reason for that."
“Nothing to ask”
"Mia, let me go, I'm alone"
Finally, I was taken to Schuler's bed and made a pillow for the night.
