Episode 6 – Intelligence organization, meeting the branch leader of the Black Feather (2)

There is a lot of tension between me, who entered the Skywind tavern, and the mustachioed man who appears to be the owner of the tavern. It was flowing.

Right now, all I could see was a man with a mustache who was cleaning a beer glass.

And the mustache man’s eyes were also looking intently at me.

Judging by the slight wrinkles between his eyebrows, he seems to be in a bad mood…….

Was the problem that you came in without ordering anything and immediately asked questions?

‘By the way, it’s a huge amount of pressure. Could it be that he is a hideaway person?’

There was a reason why I was just staring at the man with the mustache without even opening my mouth.

As soon as the mustachioed man asked me if I had come to seek information, a tremendous pressure that I had never felt before was pressing down on me.

This was not some physical force pressing down on me.

Some formless force emanating from the mustachioed man was completely restraining my actions.

All I could do was tremble in fear, hoping that the mustachioed man would take away this power.

“Umm, sorry.”

At that time, the intangible power flowing from the mustache man completely disappeared in a single moment.

It felt like the force that was weighing me down had never existed from the beginning.

On the day of a strong typhoon, I did not feel this pressure even when I was forced to work overtime and fight against the typhoon.

No matter what happened, the force that was weighing me down was gone now, so that was enough.

“Oh, I guess I’ll survive.”

“hahahahaha. I feel sorry. “I guess I was a little embarrassed because it was my first time seeing someone like a customer.”

As I breathed a sigh of relief, the mustachioed man let out a cheeky laugh and revealed that he had made a mistake.

Wow, Mr. Owner. If I make one more mistake like that, this time next year will be my memorial day……

“I’m sorry. Instead, if you tell us what information you want, I will answer to the best of my knowledge.”

…… It’s the same, but that mistake isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

When I told him about the information I was looking for, he answered based on his knowledge, so it seemed like he was someone who knew a lot.

Since he actually runs the only tavern in town, the mustachioed man will see and hear a lot as the owner of this tavern.

The man with the mustache may know the information I want, but if I can’t decide, I can just ask someone who might know the information to give me the information.

I approached the mustachioed man, and he invited me to take a seat.

“Before talking, let’s start by lightly moistening our throat.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Moustache man. No, the bar owner seemed to have a good-natured personality as well as a good-natured appearance.

The bar owner was pouring beer from an oak barrel, and water droplets began to form on the surface of the glass containing the beer, possibly because it was cold.

“This is our bar’s special dark beer. “Because it has a low alcohol content and does not get drunk easily, it is a beer preferred by people who cannot drink alcohol or people who talk for long periods of time.”

“It tastes good.”

This is my first time trying dark beer since lager beer is available around here.

But when I took a sip of the cold beer, I felt a hint of chocolate flavor similar to coffee along with the scent of smoked barley.

Because it has a low alcohol content, it is not heavy, but it is light and refreshing, so it would be good to eat with a snack containing dairy products.

“I’m glad you were satisfied with the dark beer. Now, let’s get to the point. “What information do you want?”

The bar owner laughed happily when his dark beer was praised, but when the topic changed to information-related, his mood changed in an instant.

“I would like to know how to get to Glesius Academy, which direction to go in, and how much it costs to get there.”

“Glesius Academy…” ….”

The bar owner seemed to think about something for a moment after hearing what I told him, and then he took out a pen and paper from under the counter.

Then I grabbed a pen and started writing something. Although I used letters I had never seen before, strangely enough I felt like I knew what they meant.

“If you want to leave for Glessius Academy, you will have to hurry.”

After the bar owner wrote down all the writing, he tore it up and handed it to me, telling me what to watch out for.

When I checked the paper the bar owner handed me, the information I needed was written on it.

[Glesius Academy is about 20 days’ walk from Oak Tree Village. On the way, you must pass through a city called Belsarem.]

[The distance from Belsarem to Glesius Academy is 17 days on foot. About 10 days by carriage. It is safest to use the carriage at the top, and it costs about five silver coins, but the fee is said to have become more expensive due to the recent increase in monsters. Most recently, it is known that the number has increased to seven silver coins.]

[Caution: Previously, the ship heading to Belsarem moved once every two days, but recently it has changed to once every two weeks. Since the last flight departed 8 days ago, the next flight is expected to depart in 5 days.]

When I summarized the contents of the note above, I was able to roughly organize it like this.

‘To go to Glesius Academy, you must first go to a city called Belsarem, which is about three days away from here. After going to Belsarem, you must head to Glesius Academy through the top for safety. Recently, the number of monsters has increased. The cost of accompanying the merchant has increased.’ How much?

Seven silver coins were half of the money I had.

The total number of silver coins in the money bag I discovered was fifteen.

I received 90 fairy tales by paying one of them as accommodation fee.

And 10 fairy tales I received in return for using my abilities to make people’s bread in the morning.

So, the money I have now is 14 silver coins and 100 copper coins. In terms of amount, it was 15 silver coins.

The carriage fee was equivalent to two to three months of food and lodging at an inn.

However, I think it is worth investing that much money to meet your favorite heroine.

It’s money. If I use my abilities, I can earn as much as I need.

I confirmed this morning that my abilities apply not only to simple tools but also to the food people eat.

Everyone wants to eat delicious food at the same price.

So, when I changed hard bread into soft bread at the inn, everyone was rushing to ask me to use my ability to change bread.

In return for making delicious bread at the inn in the morning, I only received one dong.

I don’t know how much the coarse bread served for breakfast costs, but just by giving each person a copper coin, we have already made up for what we paid for the room yesterday.

I’m not a philanthropist, and I need to make money to survive in this world, so what’s free?

I could have demonstrated my abilities for free as a test, but there is something I painfully felt while living in society in my previous life.

Isn’t there something said by a famous villain who represents the madness that appears in creative works?

If you’re good at something, don’t do it for free.

Once something was done for free as a favor, they shamelessly asked to keep doing it for free from then on.

I felt this keenly while working at a small company.

When it was revealed that I knew how to assemble computers, the sh*tty manager and section manager made me assemble the latest computer without paying me a penny for my labor.

There was even a time when they shamelessly pushed me to pay for the repair cost, claiming that I had assembled it incorrectly even after the product had broken down due to their own fault, and my blood pressure soared that I almost passed out.

What happened to the manager and the manager?

I behaved as shamelessly as I did to an employee of a client who was doing business with our company, and was accused of fraud by the client and was fired from the company.

During the investigation, it was even revealed that the company’s assets had been embezzled and the proceeds from product sales had been stolen.

The result is, what can the manager and manager of a small company without power or support do?

It is said that he was immediately sentenced to 7 years in prison without probation because he did not have money to hire a lawyer who was a former judge.

What are you doing right now? Are you trying to commit fraud even in prison? Shameless guys.

Oh, really. When I remember what happened in that world, I feel like I had a really hard time.

Yes. Let’s go to Glessius Academy as soon as possible.

Let’s watch Mina, my favorite heroine, and if she doesn’t have Mina, let’s heal by watching other heroines.

If I have this ability that I received from Epitrina, at least I won’t have to starve to death because I can’t earn money until I grow old.

“Thank you for providing such valuable information. “I guess I’ll have to hurry.”

“Please return safely, sir.”

I was able to leave the bar while being greeted by the owner.

Now that I knew how to get to Glesius Academy from the bar guy, the next step was to prepare the things I needed to leave for Glessius Academy.

◈◇◈◇◈◇◈◇◈◇◈

Justin sighed in relief when he saw the man who had just left the hideout.

He was a being who rarely showed signs of being intimidated by his fighting spirit that he exerted at his maximum power.

‘Come to think of it, I didn’t ask your name.’

Belatedly, Justin remembered that he had failed to ask him what his name was.

‘No. It worked out better. Don’t get involved again. ‘I almost ended my life here.’

Justin shook his head and began preparing for the funeral today.

The black-feathered branch leader that he showed when dealing with the man disappeared, and now he was just the owner of a bar.
