Another Stupid Isekai

Chapter 56



The day started just as usual. I quickly got up, gathered my things, and went outside pushing the rubble aside with the door. The nice morning welcomed me, blinding at first. I things on the cart, grabbed the handles, and started walking pulling it behind me. Hunger was annoying to the point I started regretting not having anything for breakfast.

- It would be so nice to have a fridge with some cold juice...

But I didn't have one. On top of that my house was quite a bit from the city center. More or less in the middle of the distance, I met with some hunters heading to hunt rats. Mainly Wuxia members, but there were also faces belonging to people from outside and a few I didn't recognize at all.

Among those familiar faces, I saw Mbeki and Nobuo. Gave them a slight nod of recognition. Kagiso smiled and returned the same gesture. On the other hand, Adachi remained serious but also didn't ignore me. They looked good. Well equipped. Mbeki had a nice-looking glaive. Nobuo only disappointing katana.

- I have no idea what people see in those swords - I muttered under my breath.

At the city center, a few people gathered. Rather more than I was used to. Some were drinking from the early morning. Others just hanging out. I waited a bit in the line, asked if I can pay tax after the hunt, and bought some food, a bottle of water, then departed. Nobody tried to stop me or was following me, which was kinda nice.

On my way to the cave, I met few groups of goblins, and also hunters. The first ones got killed quickly, the others left alone. People kept their distance from the goblin lair, unlike me.

I did the same as the day before. Killed guards, parked the cart, and made some noise. Then assumed my position at the entrance. Soon slaughter began. This time it was easier. I could feel fatigue accumulating in my ever-moving hands, but not to the point of pain. Blood slathered everywhere, just to soon vanish. Crystals were the only thing remaining, and soon a whole bunch piled up blocking the path for the goblins. At this point, it was just easy to kill them, and finally, the last one fell to the ground.

Applause came from behind me. A single person was clapping. I turned immediately. Blitzkrieg was leaning against the tree pretty close to me.

- Wow. You are just as good as they said. Forgive me, but I had to witness it with my own two eyes, and I have to say wunderbar.

He was smiling, clearly amused by my performance of violence.

- I never saw somebody with such stamina. You have to be a beast in bed.

He rose his eyebrows a couple of times with a sly smirk.

- What do you want?

- Oh, I just came to take a look at your skills... Aaaadn remind you of my offer. You have a bright future in our ranks. We appreciate good warriors, unlike Wuxia. When was the last time you had a bit of fun huh?

- I have no time for fun.

- Ooh! Come one! Cut the crap. Every man wants to fondle some nice perky tits, and drink some booze. Come with me, I'll show you a good place.

- I have crystals to sell.

- Of course, you have. But after that...

- If after that you will leave me alone, I agree.

- Good! Let me give you a hand with those crystals.

- No thank you.

He just laughed and kept watching as I for few long minutes gathered my score on the cart. Then we both headed back.

- So your name is Peter, right?

- Yeah.

- And you hunt alone? Wait... You are that guy who started the rat hunts with Wuxia?

- Yes, and yes.

- That's even better. Maybe you will find some tactics for Blood Brothers, huh?

- I didn't join you yet.

- But you will after you see how we leave.

- Maybe.

I had no intention of joining them. I just didn't want to have more people after my ass before I was ready.

- You will, you will. And you won't be the first Wuxia member to join us after witnessing what we have to offer. Strong guys like you live like kings among us. I know, because I myself am strong - he pokes me with his elbow with a sly smirk and mischievous look.

Then he actually laughed loudly. He clearly wasn't just a nobody. The way he moved supported my impression of him. I didn't notice him until he actually started to clap, and he admitted to following me all the way to the cave.

- As I said. Maybe.

- Girls are gonna love that mysterious and cold side of you. Oh let me tell you... They are really gonna love it.

- Whatever you say...

He kept talking such bullshit for the entire time. He only shut his mouth when we approached the device. I paid my tax of three crystals and proceeded to sell the rest. I got 61100 points, so I had a total of 74 705. Most of it got quickly dumper into 60 upgrades of my dexterity, which was 69 150 points. Leaving me with 5 555 points. I also bought few wheat rolls and some sausage. Then as the last thing, fillet my bottle with water.

- You didn't have to buy this food. Come, I will feed you. Don't you worry...

I ignored him. Moved the cart a bit out of the way, and ate while sitting on it. Blitzkrieg was just shaking his head.

- You are stubborn like a donkey, Peter.

I ignored him again, and just finished my food.

- Okey tough man. Show me whatever you wanted to show, so I can be done with it, and go to sleep.

He laughed and just started walking. I followed, pulling the cart behind me. We went to a big building quite away from the city center. Even before we entered, I could tell that its a crowded place. People were coming out, and in. Some carried bottles, probably filled with alcohol.

- Come, come...

Blitzkrieg was recognized and respected. Everybody just got out of his way.

- Leave your cart here. Don't worry, nobody will touch it.

I believed him. We entered. Soft music was the first that got me. A guitar accompanied by a hand drum. A girl sang to it. It was in Spanish, but I was unable to tell what the song was about. She had a soft, nice voice. It was incredible. I used to love music and hearing some after such a long time almost moved me to teras.

- Ha, I told you - said Blitzkrieg looking at my face. - Come. There is more.

Inside people were sitting by the tables, playing cards, and drinking. Women were surrounding winners, or, probably, important guys at the tables without card games going on. Waitresses with naked breasts were bringing alcohol. It immediately brought Aisha to my mind, but I still kept following him inside. He led me to a table surrounded by nice sofas from three sides. It was empty, but the very moment we sat, a couple of girls came to accompany us. They brought bottles with them.

- Beer? Or maybe something stronger? - Blitzkrieg asked.

- Beer.

- Nana. Give him a beer.

One of the girls gave me the bottle. A took a swig. It was bitter, warm.

- So, how do you like my girls. Which one caught your eye?

They all were pretty. The problem was, they also reminded me about Aisha. I just couldn't look at them.

- None. They are not my type.

- Oh, so what is your type?

- Does it matter?

- Of course, it does! When you are fishing, you need the right bait. Now, tell me.

- Let it be a secret.

He laughed.

- You want me to guess? Fine, I will guess. You like bigger tits.

I just shook my head, then took a big swig, and put an almost empty bottle on the table.

- Let's talk another day. I'm tired.

He narrowed his eyes while looking at me. He was clearly not happy.

- Fine. You know where to find me. Just don't take too long.

- I won't.

I meant what I said. This guy was gonna become my pass straight to Mark. I just needed to find out how high is his position in Blood Brothers. He clearly was not just anybody. He actually could be one of Mark's lieutenants, or maybe even something more important. If this place was really his, then that could actually be the case. The problem was, I had no idea, but fortunately, I knew someone, who could now. A guy named Will.

I needed to find him. Just not today, cause I really was tired. Facing the horde of goblin by myself was really taxing. So I went outside, got the cart, and headed back home. I just couldn't wait to lay on my bed.

Day ended with 5 504 points on my account.
