There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet

18 – Witch Hunt -2

I walked into the counter led by the hand of the hostess.

With the words to wait, she disappeared into the space behind her.

‘Did you go get the rabbit costume? How faithful are you to the concept?’

At that time, she was swollen with anticipation and letting her imagination run wild.

“Did you wait a long time~?”

She came out with something in her arms that wasn’t the rabbit suit she was looking forward to.

“Our inn’s secret weapon, ‘Darcy’.

How is it? Aren’t you so lovely?”

…?

What she was holding in her arms was a rabbit with ribbons on its ears.

I couldn’t hide my confusion and opened my mouth.

“..That sister? What the hell is this..”

“Huh. It seems you don’t believe it yet.

Give me what you gave me earlier.”

As the hostess said, the guy who reacts right away when I offer him a carrot.

Her chubby hips started twitching from side to side of her.

“Hey, it’s sweet..”

“…”

A dancing rabbit was literally a dancing rabbit…

I felt cheated.

The act of feeding carrots to rabbits was not what I was expecting…

Wasn’t it an open promise that you know and I know?

‘Ehh…’

The guy with the ribbon had his eyes on the carrot, probably shaking it all up.

A guy who diligently gnaws at the carrot he was holding in his hand.

“Isn’t it so cute? Look at these puffy cheeks!”

Why did you do that to me?

He made me look forward to it

It was around the time I ate almost all of the big carrots before I knew it.

I was watching it blankly with unfocused eyes when I heard a thumping sound from somewhere.

When I turned my head, there was a warrior with a serious expression standing there.

“Mr. Porter.”

“Yes..? Oh, I’ve washed everything.. You can go right in..”

“I have something to tell you, so come with me.”

“Yeah? Kuck! I’ll go on my own feet, so give me your hands!”

The hero came and grabbed me by the collar and dragged me into the room.

Just a few minutes before the porter faces reality.

There was a warrior who was left alone in the room and worried.

“Why didn’t I think of that?”

The porter already knew that we were going to defeat the demon lord.

But did I really see no other future?

‘What if the porter saw the future and realized my true identity…?

If you knew, why didn’t you tell me?’

I was afraid of the porter’s secrets and what demands he would make.

‘Wealth? Honor? If it’s not that, I can’t believe my body..’

I suddenly remembered what he had said.

-Hero. Shall we just wash up together?

I don’t really care about that.

‘Couldn’t it be that you already knew everything?!’

-Ah… That’s unfortunate. I wanted to shove my back together with the warrior, but… I can’t help it. What.

Hwaak

His face flushed hot at the thought that he had been made fun of.

“I..I..!!”

Yesterday and just like that.

There were certainly not a few situations where I was alone with him.

What were you thinking inside?

I thought I should check it right away, so I hurriedly put on my breastplate and spurned out of the room.

“Huh? Are you going to wash up, hero?

Talia was coming up the stairs, wet as if she had just washed up.

“..Have you seen the porter?”

“The porter? He was feeding carrots to rabbits with a lost expression downstairs.

Unlike how he looks, he seems to like animals.”

Rabbit wasn’t important.

“Eh? Hero?”

Let’s pass Talia and head to the counter.

As she said, she sighed and saw a porter feeding carrots to a rabbit wearing a ribbon.

She strode towards him and asked.

“Mr. Porter.”

“Yes..? Oh, I’ve washed everything.. You can go right in..”

“I have something to tell you, so come with me.”

“Yeah? Kuck! I’ll go on my own feet, so give me your hands!”

I think he said something, but he ignored it and grabbed me by the collar and brought me to the room.

“Wait a minute… What is this all of a sudden…”

“You’d better answer me straight from now on.”

I asked as I pulled out the holy sword from the scabbard.

“Did you… Notice?

—

A warrior who pushes me into the room and pulls out a holy sword.

Wait, what is it?

Why are you bringing that out here?

Whether or not I was taken aback by the hero’s sudden acceleration, the hero opened his mouth with a holy sword in one hand.

“Did you… Notice?

‘What is that…’

Since we don’t know, let’s say we don’t know the truth

In the presence of the judge, speculative remarks are prohibited

“..What do you mean by that?”

“Didn’t you look at the future and say we’re going to subdue the demon lord?”

“Yes.. Did you..?”

“So you haven’t seen anything else?”

Have you tasted the rumors, warrior?

If you know, it hurts

“Other, what exactly do you mean?”

“That…That’s why…”

Are you saying something or something?

If you tell me, I’ll tell you in a way that’s okay, so tell me

Let’s listen to it

“B..Ban..”

“Ban?”

“A companion! Someone who will become my companion or something!”

‘f*ck?’

It was a question I could never have imagined coming out of her mouth.

‘Suddenly asking such a personal favor?

Are you also a helpless ‘person’?’

But I don’t know

As soon as I caught the demon king, the ending credits came up.

“Personal companion…Don’t you know that?”

If you don’t know, that’s fine

What are you going to do?

The hero, who was glaring at the holy sword, soon put on a relieved expression.

“You must have been curious about that..

How, shall we try?”

“Oh no! Don’t try! Never look!”

I can’t stand life spoilers

“I’ll tell you when I see you later.”

“..Promise..And never tell anyone.”

“Only I know.”

“Swear in front of the goddess.”

“…”

You said it with your mouth before

The oath to the goddess is not so light

‘Arachnen-style Naro Nambul…Anyway, the imperial bastards…’

As I was dumbfounded and unable to speak, the hero’s urging flew in.

“I swear. Do it.”

“..Yes.”

A warrior who finally loses his power in his eyes.

Don’t worry, warrior

The fact that you are actually a cross-dressing woman is to be carried to the grave

‘Anyway, the moment I say it, you’re not going to make that place my grave.’

After a while, I swore in front of Polaris, who was dragged without knowing why and became the eyes and ears of the goddess.

‘What are you doing this…’

—

As the next morning dawned, the party of warriors decided to start the investigation in earnest.

“Porter. Did you see anything new?”

“Yes. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the information you wanted.”

“Information the warrior wants?”

“Porter, should we stop talking nonsense and get to the point?”

That’s a beam coming out of its eyes.

Are you a demon? Did you fall

“First of all, there is a fundamental culprit in this town.

The witch who creates witches is hiding.”

“You make a witch?”

Talia frowns after hearing my words.

The worldview here is the moment when a female wizard is called a witch

A place where even if a wizard kills a person, it is treated as a natural death.

The biggest insult that can only be given to a female wizard.

“Yes, by kidnapping the village women.”

“Why would you do that?”

“To call herself the Archwitch.

They do this to create high-ranking witches and reign over them.

It’s a desire for honor to stand at the pinnacle of those witches.”

“The archwitch… The more I hear it, the more I feel bad…”

He has a terrifying expression, probably because he is also a great wizard.

‘I shouldn’t touch you today.’

“Then do you know what it looks like?”

“I’m sorry. I don’t know that far either.”

In the game, he showed up wearing a hoodie

“No need to apologize.

You’ve done your part enough to know this much.”

“Then where should I start looking?”

“It won’t be easy to find. Did you see it yesterday?

Villagers take care of it.

He must be holding his breath while grinding his teeth somewhere.”

“Then I have no choice but to walk around aimlessly…”

A warrior with a complicated expression.

“I don’t know why you’re still stuck in this town.

Even if you make a witch, she’ll be caught and burned.”

“It must mean there is a reason you can’t move the location.”

So we scattered and tried to find information individually, but when we got together and compared it, everything was from there.

“The only thing left to do is to go to the place where the survivors are.”

“Survivors?”

Doubts appeared on the faces of the party members.

—

Smart smart

“Are you there?”

“..Who are you?”

“We are a party of warriors who have come to solve the problems of the village.”

“Yes? Wait a minute…”

Kikik

Eyes checking the outside through the slightly open door.

In the meantime, I could see a girl who still looked childish and was taking the steps to become her lady.

“Are you really the warrior party members?”

“Yes. Yesterday, Mr. Marco gave me permission to work.”

Then other voices came from inside the door.

“A warrior?”

‘What? This child…’

This is the child I bumped into in front of the inn yesterday.

The child looked at me, then turned his gaze to the hero.

“Is your brother really the hero of the warrior party?”

What is it?

I feel like I just got cut by an innocent gaze

Can you ask me too?

The hero smiled at the child and replied.

“Sure. Of course.”

“Wow! Guys, the hero is here!”

“Really?”

“Where? Where?”

“Wait a minute, don’t push! It hurts!”

The door opens and children jump out of the door in the blink of an eye.

“…”

“This is…”

As a family, children with different appearances popped out.

While the hero was perplexed, someone approached from the side.

“Are you…?”

“…”

This is the woman who took the child I met in front of the inn yesterday.

“We…”

A woman covers the children with her body before the hero’s words are finished.

“If the purpose is to compensate for what happened yesterday, I’ll take responsibility…So leave the children alone.”

‘Do you think we’re here to harm you?’

“Don’t get me wrong. We’re here to ask you something.”

“..What is it?”

“Yes, we are talking about witches…”

‘Hey, you bastard!’

I couldn’t help but be shocked by the thoughtless warrior’s remarks.

“Wait..!”

Fortunately, the woman hurriedly interrupted the warrior’s words and opened her mouth.

“I’ll explain later, so don’t do this outside. Let’s talk inside.”

“Oh yes…”

The woman disappeared into the house and approached the confused hero and whispered.

“Hero, don’t mention witches for now.

Because I have kids.”

“Yes? Why?”

“Go and listen and you’ll know.”

When I entered the house, I saw a small room filled with children’s things.

“There are many children.”

“Yeah… Guys? I have something to talk about with the adults, so why don’t you come and play outside?”

Cathy, can I ask you a favor?”

“Yes sister. Guys, let’s go outside and play with you.”

The child called Cathy who opened the door earlier took her children.

A room that instantly becomes quiet when the children leave.

“Those children are poor children whose parents have been beaten by witches and have no place to go.

I don’t know what will happen if I leave it as it is, so I’m living with it. It’s tough though.”

“Ah…”

The atmosphere becomes solemn at her words.

“You did the right thing.”

Polaris seems to like her behavior.

‘Hmm..’

The hero was unable to raise his head.

‘If you look closely, the hero doesn’t even notice that.’

If there are children crowded around the place where there are survivors, of course you have to find out

Being a warrior

“Oh yeah, my name is Lizzie. Those… All of you…”

“..We are a party of warriors who came to investigate about witches..”

The hero who barely managed to raise his head answered with a creeping voice.

“Ah! I see. But why did you come to visit us?”

“That’s…”

The hero asked me for help with his eyes.

‘Oh, I didn’t tell you that.’

Is it finally my turn to step out?

I answered on behalf of the warrior I was talking about.

“I heard from Marco that you can meet survivors if you come this way…

This is a tricky situation.. I didn’t expect the survivors to be children..”

I’m sorry Marco

But you also suspected me of being a witch at first.

Let’s beat it with this

“I’ll tell you everything I know, please don’t ask the kids or anything like that.

There are many children who have not yet come to terms with the death of their parents..”

“Don’t worry about that. We’re human too, so we can’t.”

But the information I got from a woman named Lizzie was no different from what I heard from other residents.

‘How is this… It’s not as easy as I thought…’

At that time, I was thinking about what to do.

Kikik

“Here you go, sister.”

“I’m back!”

“I’m hungry!”

“What’s for lunch today?”

Cathy has returned with her children.

“Sorry sister, the kids are hungry…”

“Oh no, well done. I need to eat.”

The atmosphere is slowly breaking down

“There have been many excuses. Let’s stand up.”

“I’m sorry. I’d like to invite you to lunch, but we’re not in a good situation…”

“No, I understand.”

As I followed the party members outside, someone grabbed the hem of my clothes from behind.

Looking back, it was the child who opened the door for the first time.

‘Did you say it was cache?’

The child beckoned me to come closer.

Cathy whispers in my ear as she approaches right in front of me.

“Can you really get rid of witches?”

“Yeah? How can I do that?”

“My ears are open. I’ve heard all about her being a witch.”

Hero, you bastard

“But there is a warrior, so why…”

“That oppa is a bit difficult to get close to, but he seems the most easy-going.”

hehehe, this reminds me of someone

Is it the law of conservation?

“Don’t worry Miss Cassie. We will definitely catch the witch.”

“Don’t hold.”

“Yes?”

“Kill me. As brutally and painfully as possible.”
