Day one of prison life.
Here you will be served a free meal. There is also a bed. I am unhappy that the sun does not set because it is underground.
Occasionally someone I know comes to show their face.
I'm Mr. Noono. What makes him happy to be here is that he has the lights. That's all. True, that's all.
"Yesterday, if I'd fought like that, who would have won, me or you?
His story is not funny.
Sleeping in bed, I deal with Noono-kun, who came to talk about boredom.
"It's me. You can't compete."
"Then you should have knocked him down and gone to see the boss."
"That's not why I'm here to fight. 'Cause I just missed you."
"Right. Your treatment is still at the stage of discussion with Tristana. Don't even think about escaping. If we escape, we'll end it without question."
"Heh. Can't you do it all the time?"
My mind is a lot obsolete here.
After Nuno-kun left, I seriously thought about escaping.
The second day of prison life.
Dinner was decent today. It's delicious, so I'm still going to give him a break for escape.
The boring nuno of the story hasn't come yet today.
Instead, some kind of a short man came.
When I came down the stairs, I saw it in the slightest light, but I was wearing a coat and a hood.
He hasn't brought any different lights than Nuno. Even though my feet are so dark that I'm in danger, will you be okay?
And what are you doing here?
He sat in front of the cell.
"What are you doing?
"Ugh!!?!?"
When I spoke, I was surprised to death.
"People? Are you there?"
"Oh, they caught me yesterday and let me in here. It's not Nuno or Tristana."
"Hmm? Oh, neither. Did those guys catch you? Are you an assassin?
"No, it's not. It just feels like we're trapped for now."
"Don't bother with that. There are so many assassins I can't help but be vigilant. I hope you don't resent me."
"I don't resent it. Rice is delicious. If you really don't like it, you're gonna run away."
"Huh, that's very reliable. Whoa, not if we're talking."
"Is that it? Didn't you come to see me?
"Exactly. I don't have anything else to do."
He moves away from the cell and slowly progresses through this basement.
Just so far away, I couldn't see him at all. Even just a little distance from the light leaking from the upper floor quickly loses sight of this street.
"Could you have gotten used to your eyes in front of the cell?
"Exactly."
A voice came from a short distance away.
I don't see it, but my voice sounds so good that it arrived fine.
"Is there any reason why you don't want to have the light?
"That's also correct. You know what the Chamber of Commerce here does, don't you?
"No, I don't."
"What? Oh, really? That's unusual."
I don't see him, but I found him confused. Sorry, public common sense doesn't work for me!!
"We sell medicinal herbs. Maybe with other healthy foods. I've been doing it a lot more recently."
"Hmm."
"You don't seem very interested. Well, no. This tower develops its products on every floor. And it also functions as an exchange. Mass production is another place."
"Hmm."
"You don't seem really interested. So, only the basement here is an exception. I can't even grow herbs because the sun doesn't point in the first place."
"So prison. Feels like it's still in storage?
"Yes, I'm just trying to improve a new breed lately. Instead of needing a day, you hate the day. If this works, mass production will be possible on many more lands"
"Wow, that."
"Whoa? Finally getting interested?
We could only hear each other, but I kind of felt like we were enjoying the conversation face to face. I feel comfortable with this guy. Somehow it seemed that way.
"That's strange. I hate basics, but I can kind of talk to you naturally."
"That's what I thought too."
"I hope the suspicion clears up soon and we can go outside."
"I am, though. Hey, do you know who the boss here is? I came here because I wanted to know."
…… Well, I know you do. "
"What kind of person?
"Get out of the way... I guess I hate people."
"Don't you like bosses, too? What about being a merchant, it"
"Yes, indeed."
Bosses and employees hate people, and there are many militant employees. Is everything okay here?
"What else? Do you know anything about that?
"Um, on the contrary, what do you want to know? I'm familiar with my boss, so I can answer anything."
An unexpected word flew out of the dark.
This is unexpected luck. The system and anticipation that people dislike each other unexpectedly and have become executives.
"Uh, right. Yeah, well, why do you want to be a lord of Helanese territory? That's what I'm here to hear."
"Helanese territory. I don't know why you want to know that, but let me answer you. It's an important piece of land for the boss."
"Important land? Because the Dartanelles want it, not that assumption or something?
"No way. That's not why I'm being so sloppy. Over there...... Yes, Nuno and Tristana are from there too. Three years ago... you probably don't know that."
Ugh. It seemed completely unknown to the public.
But I found that out recently.
"There must have been a disturbance on Helanese soil, right? I know."
"Heh - unexpected. Yes, the people of Helanese territory suffered at that time. That's when I launched the Chamber of Commerce. Nuno and Tristana visited me every time I made a donation. [M] He wants you to stay with him because he wants to thank me for my donation. [M] They've been protecting me ever since."
"Nice story, it"
"Right?
The man in the coat was laughing in the light. Just the voice, but somehow I figured it out.
Nevertheless, I could know what was important.
The Gap Chamber of Commerce boss didn't want to fight the Dartanelles. I've been supporting people who live on that land for a long time.
Then I guess I don't need to see him anymore. If such a man is to be a lord, sooner or later the inhabitants will be convinced.
"Thank God. That's what I'm here for."
"Since now?
"Oh, I'm here to ask you why you're so motivated to be Lord of Helanese territory. If the boss here doesn't feel comfortable, I have nothing to say to him. That's what I'm talking about. Let's get you out of here."
"Can I make a declaration of escape? What if I tickle the nunos?"
"Shut up there. We're getting along now."
"Is that true, too? I've got a handful of people to talk to, and let's give it a break. Okay, hold on a second. I'll pick up some of this herb right now and let you have it. It helps me catch a cold or something, so if I suffer from it, try it. And if I get a chance, I'll ask for a progress report."
"Something so amazing, why so fucking costly. I wish I could take more."
"You can't give up this kind of fun."
"What's that?"
The man in the coat is picking the herb. I don't see him, but I think he seems to have a lot of fun.
This guy, I've been thinking since he came in, maybe he likes the equivalent of medicinal herbs. Even while you were talking to me, you didn't stop messing with the herbs at all. And the smell that currently fills this basement is the smell of medicinal herbs. Because I touch him every day, I guess he's quite stuck in his body and can't quite take the smell of the herb.
I like people like that.
If I hadn't seen you in a place like this, I wouldn't have even been a friend.
Well, I'm sorry to say goodbye, but it's time for me to let you escape.
I was a magically created blade of wind that tore the prison apart.
We had a good meeting at the end, and you weren't wasting your two days here.
After leaving the cell, there were signs of people approaching on the side. It's the man in the coat.
He takes my hand and makes me hold the herb.
"You rub it and drink it. Slightly bitter, but that's good again, isn't it?
"Indeed."
The more the medicine suffers, the better. Something seems to work better that way.
"Okay, I'm coming."
"Cheer up."
I exchanged goodbye greetings with my faceless counterpart.
He moved to the corner of the basement again. Still messing with the herbs after I escape? How much do you like it?
When I knocked through the door leading from the basement to one time, I thought I'd ask you one last thing.
"What does your name say?
"I... Tristana forbid me to name it, but I kind of feel like I could name it after you"
"Huh? What?
"Never mind. I'm Toto Gap."
Toto Gap...... Is that it? The name of the Chamber of Commerce here is... the Gap Chamber of Commerce. Coincidence?
"Maybe a relative of the boss or something?
No, I'm the boss here.
"Oh, I see"
This surprised me. Have you been talking to the boss himself? I want to worship your face, but I don't want you to escape. Um, do you give up your face?
"You can believe that story about Helanese territory."
"Definitely. That's how I feel."
"Right. I'll give you my real name, too, thanks for naming me my real name. My name is Kurli Helan. I run a blacksmith. Bye!
I opened the door and ran out.
The employees were surprised and confused by me coming out of the basement. I ran for a run.
I didn't want to be violent with them because I found out the boss here was a good one.
I could have gone outside if I was running.
When I looked back, I saw Nuno and a man wearing a coat and a hood. Maybe he was the boss in the basement.
But I said goodbye here.
I took advantage of the slight irregularities in the walls and ran up, smiling and waving goodbye to them.
Well, do we go for the royal castle next?
