To Deprive a Deprived Person

Episode 58: The Leap

City Kammer East District. It's called a ghetto, and it's a district inhabited by the lowest class of residents who can't even pay taxes.

Many criminals and intelligence agents from other countries were lurking in places where criminals would bring them to hide.

The time was late at night, and many residents were already asleep and the lights had disappeared from their dwellings, but there were a few but leaking digging huts in them. There are men in the cabin discussing something. It was the borough cloth worn by the lowest inhabitants that surrounded him, but he could hear that the hidden body was skinny but covered with steely muscles and not the only one.

"Did you find out which country the grantor of the example was from?

"We still don't know which agent."

"What's the guy doing tracking down the grantor!

The men were frustrated. Neither that nor this was because the mission had worked so well that it could be said at all.

"Moss would be dead."

"Is that Joseph!?

"No, it's Muss' hand."

"Collector (...) Muss Goffa Buff... many of his surrounding adventurers and mercenaries have more than B rank. If this goes any further, it could be annihilated if we don't look at the worst possible retreat to our country."

All wiped out, nothing the man said was grand. In the past month, eight of the men's associates, intelligence agents, have been harming themselves to prevent information from being leaked from killing or capturing them. Four of them were at Joseph's disposal.

"Calm down - there is no retreat due to failure in this mission. Only a return due to success has been allowed. Either way, this mission is not from the Dark Upper, but from the Archbishop of the Patriarchate."

"Why would an archbishop in my country move in the first place? What kind of secret does that brunette Yu have for a kid yet to be informed?

A man who seems to be a leader among the men is slow but opens his mouth.

"I haven't been told the details, either, but they say it could be a source of disaster. Maybe, but Harmeln's nightmare will be recreated"

"The demon king... the fifth demon king appears... no. Are you saying it will be certified (...)? If that prediction had been met, we would obviously be underpowered. Why a capture in the first place!? Even Pandora's brave men should be brought here to destroy it."

Demons currently certified (...) as Demon Kings by mankind, S-rank Dungeon Grim Castle owner "King Drim" present west of the Holy Land Jardalk, the demon "Sadem Without" that dominates the extremely cold mountains that can cross the Free Nation of Harmeln north, south of the Derim Empire, Moose of the Boom Dragon based deep in the desert, and "Demon King of Disasters" that emerged in Pandora, a small village already destroyed but in the Free Nation of Harmeln.

Each one of them alone can destroy the nation. Without an extra hand from the human side, it was glued without great strife, but the demon king manifestation in the small rural Pandora of Hermeln was not what it had been before. The demon king, who manifested himself, devoured the village of Pandora with the exception of just one survivor, who also wielded fierceness in the Derim Empire with his momentum. It did not reach the point where the Derim Empire assembled its total strength to repel nor destroy it, and the damage was hundreds of thousands until Pandora's brave men and the Virgin of the Holy Land Jardalk, the most powerful Seven Swords the Derim Empire boasted, and the Great Wise Men of the Kingdom of Oudon crusaded, only in Hermeln and Derim, and more than a million if small nations and rural areas combined.

"I didn't confirm it. The target, Yu Satou, is never a match to capture either."

The men around them argue with excitement about what the men of leadership say.

"Are you serious? That (...) Joseph has been escorting us for four or six hours, and now there's a gatherer, Muss!

"That's not all...... Yu Sato's ability to be alone is also a threat. Preliminary information suggests that only the Devil's Eye who breaks through status should have the skills, but the range of enemies is unusual. The whole city can still get close to the crowd, but sometimes it's noticed even if you're a kilometer away from it. Must have non-opponent skills due to changes in opponent abilities due to heights and lows"

"Moss, who was keeping an eye on the grantor, reported that he was in a meeting with Joseph. He's got a 13-year-old, right?

"What do you want to say..."

"There are significant differences in information from Stella. It's impossible."

"Watch your language. Stella draws the blood of a double saint. I will not allow you to make derogatory remarks because you are deceased. Or do you want to die?

A dagger was held in the hands of a man of leadership at some point.

"................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. It was our fault... I was too excited to say anything."

"I know what it's like to be in a hurry. I have already requested assistance from my home country and received a response earlier. Intelligence replenishment and former regimental chief Chee Do are on their way here. We'll be in the city of Cummer in a month."

"Is Chee Do that Chee Do? Is the country willing to even start a war with Woodon!? Citizens of Cummer aren't free, are they?

"There is no state religion in the Kingdom of Oudon. For this reason, many religions are intertwined, but there is nothing other than cults, such as religions other than Illigamism. How many cult believers die, but what's the problem?

"This guy - you've been fucked badly"

Woods looked somewhere impressed as he looked at the Great Sword made of Obsidian iron and the Obsidian iron gauntlet.

Yu and Marifa were taking a trip straight to Woods' blacksmith after eating at the Windscotch Pavilion. Woods responded that Yu had asked to repair the broken weapon but the damage was severe and that he should buy a new one if it was enough to fix it.

"I knew you couldn't... Grandma, I want you to build two knives and hardware for stripping from that big sword and gauntlet"

"If you tell me to build that, I'll build it... Hmm, no lady's hard leather jacket and gauntlet either... I heard the story, but you didn't have to die a lot from your rookie hunter"

"For what you've done to your weapons, you've killed them and paid them back."

"Oh, oh."

"The broken weapon is a buyout, and I want you to buy the equipment you recovered from the Rookie hunt and also build the weapon."

Yu puts out a full plate armor Damascus helm magic shield of Mithril from the item pouch.

"This guy is a full plate armor made of Mithril! And the shield with that rock creeping up in Damascus Helm is a magical shield."

"I want daggers, robes, and canes from this full plate armor, and daggers from Damascus Helm. Brush the magic shield because the molten rock is creeping up. Buy the remaining ingredients."

"This guy... he can't buy it. Take it to the Lopus store on Main Street."

The Lopus store had a store on the boulevard and was big enough to contend for one or two, both the blacksmiths and city camers that they were partnering with.

"Why?"

"I've only dealt with Mithrills as much as I count. You don't have the money to buy such a delicacy even if you want to, gah. Better sell it in the lops store and ask for equipment than sell it to me..."

"Ha, I know from this store that Grandma doesn't have any money. You don't even have the money, so pull it from the equipment you asked for. I'll pay for what's missing later."

"Properly... I make a lot of money just selling the extra material. Stupid guy...... ok! I'll build the best I can with all the technology I can!

"I hope so. I'd like to buy Nina's armor and this guy's weapon."

"Oh, is that lady your new buddy? Hmm? I see... you're responsible for providing your daughter with food and shelter when you buy a slave."

Step back behind Yu so Marifa can hide from Woods' gaze.

"I know. Show me the cheapest bow and arrow."

Woods brings some bows and tree arrows when he goes behind the store.

"It's the cheapest bow and arrow around here, but your lady is galloping, but can you pull it off?

Yu makes sure as he pulls the bow string. Pick a shortbow that you can pull with the weakest force in it.

"Give me three of these shortbows and as many arrows as you can get."

"All!? What are we gonna do about it? And the same three shortbows?

Woods says so, but piles up three identical shortbows and tree arrows back and forth over and over again.

Yu pushes the item pouch against the wooden barrel, and when he ties it with a string near the entrance, he punishes the arrow of the tree.

"So much so that you thought about it. But what a luxurious way to use an item pouch just to put an arrow in it."

Yu pays Woods for letting Marifa carry a short bow and an arrow barrel.

"Give me some time to make weapons and lady's protective gear. Right. In a week's time, we can have good protective gear. That's right. Is Dark Elf's lady good with her protective equipment?

"Grandma, what are you talking about? How dare I throw a stone at first and defeat a goblin? We're blessed to have weapons."

Yu has gone as is. Marifa runs after Yu's back as she bows her head to Woods.

"Yes, you were knocking down a goblin with a stone..."

As soon as Woods shrugged, he set fire to the furnace to get on with making his gear.
