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

82 – Tigers, Not Cats

Auction house.

A trading place where the person who bids the highest price gets the goods while competing with each other.

Originally, it is a sound system with no problems, but it is divided into negative and positive depending on what is traded.

Items that are cursed or too dangerous for individuals to own.

These things can be said to be noblemen because even legally operated auction houses are often traded as accidents pretending to be mistakes.

It looks like this even in the sun, but how about in the dark?

The things I just mentioned are universal. Even the slave trade, which was strictly prohibited by the empire, was prosperous.

Each life with self is valued by others’ standards.

Who is on the silver coin.

A place where others are sold for gold coins.

From the point of view of the empire, which seeks cooperation from each race to oppose the demons, the existence of an auction house that catches and sells slaves regardless of race could not be tolerated.

There is a department that notices the existence of such an auction house and chases after it, but most of the national power is focused on running the country and monitoring the trends of the demons, so there is nothing to be said for achievement.

Above all, the biggest reason why such a shadowy auction house could take risks and continue its operation was the customers who visited it.

Corrupt aristocrats and key figures in the border kingdom, who are out of reach of the empire’s interference.

Some people use it for rebellion against the empire, while others visit it for personal needs.

Their mouths were heavy because they knew better than anyone that if they were caught, they would perish.

As the number of such high-class customers increased, the auction house naturally changed into a modern club-like gathering method that stimulated their vanity, maintaining its closedness and winning the game avoiding the eyes of the empire.

The fact that such an auction house disappeared overnight was not because the tail was stepped on, nor did someone reveal its existence.

Just one person.

The prisoner slaves there were the cause.

Beasts are born with strong bodies that surpass those of humans.

For this reason, those who have coveted their physical abilities for a long time have tried to enslave them, but they have failed every time.

Their wildness is undiluted, untamed. It was because he was ready to bite the breath of those who mistakenly thought he was the owner at any time.

Among those prisoners, there was only one who was captured.

That was Chloe.

While at the auction house, she tore everything in sight, and as the survivor who managed to escape from her claws reported to the Empire, she encountered a party of warriors who set out to investigate.

When I ran into her like that in her game.

When I saw him walking out of the ruins of a destroyed building, I thought, ‘This is the boss’.

Until you open your mouth.

I thought that looking around the party members before fighting was to grasp their movements.

I thought it was only the breathing sound unique to cats that made their mandibles during battle.

However, the cutscene that came out when I fell below a certain level of stamina completely changed my thoughts.

-Ooh, it hurts…. Do you guys like me that much? Yes?

It wasn’t enough that she had an M tendency, because she was a crazy psycho lesbian.

From then on, whenever a melee pattern came out, I flirted with the party members leaving comments about their appearance.

-You’re a hot-tempered kid, aren’t you? I like how fresh it is.

– Elf? Why don’t we go and lie down in the forest where the air is fresh?

-A saint…. A pure white being that no one has stepped on.

Surprisingly, among the enemies, there is a line that seems to have noticed the hero’s gender.

– Sniff. It doesn’t look good to the naked eye, but it smells pretty good, doesn’t it?

A situation where such a boss mob is in front of you with a barbed wire between them.

Rumbling.

It’s not the fear that comes from a ghost-like psychology.

My body trembled on its own when I saw a boss mob with a substance in front of me.

At least the middle of the auction house chapter.

It was a stage that appeared in the process of heading to the holy kingdom.

The time when I couldn’t do anything because my hair was turning white.

“You know. How do I see myself in your eyes?”

With her face in her cage, she asked me a question.

‘Now what is that? How do you look….’

She didn’t understand the meaning of the question and stayed still for a while until she noticed her eyebrows narrowing. She was embarrassed and said what she saw.

“Soo, Suin…”

Maybe she didn’t like my answer. She banged her bottom with her tail.

“Someone asked such an obvious thing! How do you look?”

As the sharp scream pierced my ear, I shrank involuntarily.

‘What are you saying to me….’

But still, those vertical slit eyes were looking at me, so I tried to part her lips.

“…A cat?”

Then Chloe made a mysterious expression in an instant.

“What…?”

The two ears that rose above her head showed thin veins on the inside. The tail didn’t stay still for a moment as if it was floating in the air.

If it’s not a cat, I’ll hold the intestines in my hand.

– Bang!

“I’m not a cat, I’m a tiger!”

When she was compared to Danto, her pride must have been hurt.

‘Claim that it’s a tiger even though it doesn’t have stripes….’

Still, it’s a kind of big cat, so you don’t have to gut it.

Compared to Majok Sare in the game, she looked somewhat normal, and her tension gradually eased.

Wriggling.

At the same time, I checked that her toes were moving to see if the sensation in her toes had returned, and then I carefully stood up.

– Sweep.

‘Let’s move slowly. Slowly. I read in a book that quadrupeds will attack you immediately if they make any sudden movements.’

It was the time when I was half-bent.

“Have you gone already?”

‘… Damn, I got caught!’

As expected, books made for children seem to lack professionalism. How come nothing is right?

– Tak-tak-tak!

As soon as she noticed my movement, she kicked off her ground and ran straight to where she came from.

“Wait!”

I heard a voice calling me from behind, but I didn’t turn around.

How do we know if it’s wrong, it’ll tear us apart?

Having succeeded in getting out of the seat with bold determination, I stopped for a moment and began to catch my breath.

“Haa…! Haa…!”

It wasn’t hard, but I couldn’t even breathe properly until just now.

-Wack.

I was relieved that she was invisible here, but soon after, a terrible fact came to my mind.

“Ah, supper.”

I have to come back here later.

“…For now, let’s go downstairs and get rid of it.”

It was time to punish the seller for the fraudulent sale.

***

Looking at the back of the porter who hastily ran away, Chloe put on a disappointed face and muttered softly.

“I thought it would be different because you look unique like me. You look just like everyone else…”

– Took.

Behind her back, which had left unspeakable words, the tail that had just been wagging in the air drooped and touched the cold floor.

– Growl.

An embarrassing sound echoed in her stomach and she reached for the basket containing her bones.

“Aww…!”

– Whack.

Although she was trying so hard that her face was pressed against the bar. Her fingertips could not reach her bones and only grabbed her in the air.

-Rumble.

Eventually, her stomach started crying louder than before. She just stared at her flesh clinging to her bones, crying.

“…I’m hungry….”

***

Around the time when the porter was running downhill in a panic.

The warrior party searched the entire forest to find traces of him.

And in the process, encountering bandits was inevitable.

“Repent, I will repent, so please save me!”

“Run away! Those guys have no intention of saving us!”

The party members advance while wiping out the bandits they encounter.

There was not even the slightest bit of mercy in their eyes.

“…”

Behind them, there was a glutton who shed tears while being chained by a saintess.

‘Assholes! Why are you hanging around there… !’

He guided them to avoid the location of her hideout as much as possible. I had no choice but to watch in real time as they erased the hideout, saying that there might be a porter because of the family members who came out without notice.

‘What the hell is that bastard? .’

In his mind, the evaluation of the porter was rising through the sky.

– Knock knock.

Again, the hideout around them was burning.

Talia, who was biting her own fingernails nervously, opened her mouth.

“It seems like there is no end to this.”

Her mind was filled with scenes of frail porters being surrounded and beaten by savage bandits.

– Well done.

The tip of the nail polish on her thumb has already peeled off.

At the same time as her naked area expanded, she came up with a suggestion.

“Should I set fire to the forest?”

Talia proposes a radical but sure way.

Seeing her like that, the hero frowned at her.

“Anyway, I don’t think that’s a bit off. Reina is there too.”

A hero who talks as if she would set fire to it if it wasn’t for Reina.

He said it because the elf who loves the forest couldn’t see it.

“It doesn’t matter.”

A situation where the elf who ‘loved’ the forest agreed.

“Hmm… no, on second thought, the porter could be dangerous.”

Although it was not her intention, she had a past where she almost buried her alive by destroying her ruins.

While the rest of the party members were giving their opinions, the saintess was unable to get in the middle.

Could it be that her porter’s fall crushed her?

In the end, when they couldn’t come up with a sharp number, they decided to walk along the valley with gluttony as they came.

From noble mtl dot com

While she was moving her heavy steps for a while, something familiar caught the saintess’s attention and caught her eye.

“Look at that!”

The party members looked at the direction the gaze of her saintess was heading. There, the backpack he was carrying was hanging precariously on a tree branch between rocks.

-Splash splash.

Let’s go into the valley to retrieve the rucksack that the saintess hurriedly approached and didn’t care that her skirt got wet.

“Oops!”

It was only natural for the glutton to fall, who was chained to that violent movement, and he had no choice but to wriggle his body back and forth to catch his breath.

“Brother…”

Looking at his backpack up close, the saintess felt her chest tighten.

It’s not the bag Thalia gave you, but the backpack he always wore since Camille Village.

According to him, it was something he had been given as a gift.

The warrior passed by Gluttony struggling on the border between life and death and approached Polaris and asked.

“Are you alright Polaris?”

Dori Dori.

Unable to even say such a thing, she held out her backpack to the hero without a word in her guilty heart.

Her saintess took her rucksack that her saintess held out, and her hero took her and came out to her shore.

“Fuhaa!”

Even Gluttony, who was starting to see his men in the distance, could barely breathe.

While the glutton, who received no attention from anyone, was filling his lungs with air.

The time when the warrior took out the luggage one by one to move it.

“…!”

As the hero’s eyes widened and his hand stopped, Talia felt strange and asked.

“A warrior?”

Maybe her voice didn’t reach her.

The warrior did not answer even when he called.

‘Porter….’

Her eyes were fixed on the only thing in his backpack that wasn’t wet.
