The Lazy Swordmaster

Chapter 212. Weird Capable People (2)

[Capability Management Office]

[Lee Han-seong, Team Leader of the West District]

Nainiae looked down and looked at the words on the business card. Then, she asked Lee Han-seong, the man in a suit.

“Used an ability? You mean here?”

When Nainiae, who had her eyes widened, asked politely, Lee Han-seong, who had given her his business card, coughed once and said yes.

“Yes, that’s right. It was a few hours ago.”

“A few hours ago…”

Much more beautiful than the ideal type he had always imagined, Lee Han-seong blushed and couldn’t find a place to put his eyes on the girl who was more beautiful than a statue.

“…what’s wrong?”

“Gasp.”

Then, as Priesia and Ian, who were standing behind Nainiae, approached, Lee Han-seong averted his eyes.

“Gasp!”

Not one, but two…

It was because another beautiful woman with wide eyes appeared.

“Ah, Miss Priesia.”

Priesia and Ian, who could understand what Lee Han-seong was saying thanks to Nainiae’s ‘interpretation’ magic in advance, spoke out with innocent looks.

“We never used our ability.”

“We’re not even capable in the first place.”

At the words of the two, Lee Han-seong, who put Ian aside and looked at Nainiae and Priesia alternately, gulped and said.

“You look suspicious enough of being capable.”

Lee Han-seong, who had resisted the urge to ask for their phone number immediately, speculated whether the two girls might be capable of charming people and continued.

“Anyway, you’ll have to go with us. If you’re foreigners, simple identification is required.”

Half public and half private, Lee Han-seong gulped again and looked back.

“Take them.”

When Lee Han-seong said he would take them to his office, Nainiae had her eyes widened, sighed briefly, and looked back.

I’ll take care of it.

As if understood Nainiae’s eyes, Priesia and Ian nodded their heads and took a step back.

“Ah, you two! Don’t run away! Both of you will also be investigated…”

Lee Han-seong’s lips, who were about to shout, ‘Where are you running away?’, were closed again when he saw the two of them just took a step back.

“…?”

Then, he felt like he had entered the ‘maze of mirrors’ that’s often seen in amusement parks, where all sides are blocked by glass… It was because he was overwhelmed without realizing it.

What?

Lee Han-seong looked around at his surroundings and realized that something was strange. He looked at Nainiae.

“…the barrier was set.”

Didn’t sure when she moved, but she told Lee Han-seong that she had set the ‘barrier’ with her right arm down which she had raised up, and started walking to him.

“Th, this…”

There’s no trace of the men standing behind him, the old gentleman and the girl with a beret standing opposite him, and anyone around the memorial, let alone the presence of a person. The panicked Lee Han-seong hurriedly took his hand to his waist.

Don’t tell me… I didn’t expect she would do something like this openly.

Nearly distracted by Nainiae’s beauty, he pulled out a pistol that he carried around his waist and aimed it at her.

“You there, you better stay put!”

Lee Han-seong changed his speech into informal ones and warned her by twisting his eyebrows to a serious angle.

“If I don’t stay put, are you going to shoot that gun?”

Nainiae, who had received Riley’s memories and knew everything about this world… was well aware of the power of the pistol aimed at her and what would happen if she was hit.

That pistol isn’t an ordinary pistol. The purple people… it must be a pistol that prevents those from using their abilities.

Nainiae remembered one of several types of pistols in Riley’s head and wiggled her lower left hand to use magic.

“I, warned you.” Lee Han-seong, who changed his speech again into formal ones, pulled the trigger towards Nainiae, who was walking towards him.

Paang!

As Nainiae guessed, the pistol that was aimed at her wasn’t an ordinary pistol… It emitted a blue flame with a sound of a burst.

“…yes, I did warn you.”

“…?”

He certainly fired it, and if she was shocked, whether she was capable or not, she wouldn’t be able to open her mouth. But Nainiae, who walked up to Lee Han-seong, just mumbled as if nothing was wrong.

Wh, what’s going on?

The bullet he had just fired stopped in front of Nainiae’s face as if it was blocked by something.

An opaque curtain. As if the curtain stopped the bullet that had been fired at Nainiae, the bullet was only flattened without hitting its target.

As expected…

In a way, it was her first real fight since she came to this world.

The existence of magic is not yet known in this world.

Mana had been present here since the time she used the interpreting magic for Priesia and Ian. Nainiae, who had noticed that there’s nothing wrong with using magic, narrowed her eyes slightly.

Not only is it convenient to use, but there’s no problem with using magic in real fights… mana’s sensitivity is not bad either.

Nainiae, who blocked the bullet with her shield and flattened it with telekinesis, looked at Lee Han-seong’s face and opened her mouth.

“Don’t worry too much. In your memory and your men’s, it will remain only as a walk.”

Saying she wouldn’t harm him, Nainiae pointed to Lee Han-seong’s pistol, which was still smoking, with her left finger.

Rattle.

The smoke-breathing pistol made a rattling sound and froze in an instant. Lee Han-seong, who watched the entire process from flattening the bullet to freezing the pistol, gulped.

“As expected… a capable person…”

At the voice of Lee Han-seong who was muttering to himself that she was capable, Nainiae responded with a soft smile.

“No. We’re not as capable as you think, but… well, you might think we’re in the opposite position.”

Just like the ‘purple people’ Nainiae encountered in the other world, this time, they came to this world as Riley’s ‘part’… It wasn’t unreasonable to put themselves in a different position.

“Opposite… position?”

“We have a different way of doing things, so I don’t want to be related to them.”

Unlike the purple parts that had no hesitation in killing people, they came to solve the problem with the least amount of violence, that’s why Nainiae used magic to show that the six purple people and the seven themselves were clearly different.

“Then, excuse me.”

Nainiae’s memory manipulation had begun to show its power, and Lee Han-seong’s eyes began to glow blankly at some point.

*****

In the living room of Mi-rae’s house, while talking about the order of the parts that needed to be joined first, Riley’s group looked back at Mi-rae who brought three cups on a tray.

“…umm, you can drink this while talking.”

As Mi-rae put the tray down in front of the three, Riley looked at the three cups on the tray, then shifted his gaze to the drink that was served with it.

“This?”

There was only one drink.

“Young master, what is this?”

Served on the tray with the cups, Sera and Nara tilted their heads as if they didn’t understand, looking at the can with something that looked like a button attached to it.

“We will drink. The drink.”

Riley took the ‘can’ on the tray and pulled the opener that Sera and Nara thought was a button with his finger.

Chig!

When they heard the sound of steam coming out, Sera and Nara, who were watching the process from the side, shook their shoulders.

“… it’s coke.”

After opening the can and checking the color of the drink inside, Riley smiled and murmured. Sera and Nara, who shook their shoulders, asked what it was.

“Coke?”

“What’s that?”

To explain the drink called coke to the two who tilted their heads, Riley poured the drink from the can into a cup.

Ttururu.

As the black liquid poured into the cup, it made a popping sound. Sera and Nara, who had seen it, opened their mouths with exclamation marks on their faces.

“Ah! This!”

“Black sugar beer!”

Their faces brightened as they saw the drink they used to see in their world in this world,

“Fortunately, the two seem to like it, too.”

Mi-rae, who glanced at Sera and Nara as they brightened, seemed to be smiling as if everything went well. She pursed her lips and bowed her head.

“I’m glad I prepared it in advance, something that mister liked.”

Mirae glanced at the cup of coke, and then glanced at the rest of the empty cup, then she knelt down and started fidgeting.

Riley raised a question mark wondering why Mi-rae acted like this, but soon he realized the reason and stopped his hand to bring the cup to his mouth.

There’s only one, huh?

There were three cups on the tray, but only a can of Coke.

“When it became impossible to get a bouquet to the memorial, I was thinking of getting a coke that you like instead… I had prepared for that day in advance… but, that’s the only one I have right now.”

Mi-rae, who was fidgeting, looked at the cup Riley was holding in his hand and spoke carefully.

“Um, I’m sorry to mister and the two next to you, but… can’t you share it and drink it together somehow? Giving a coke to one person and water to the other two is a little… that’s why.”

At Mi-rae’s request, Riley silently looked around her living room.

Wasn’t sure if it was a bluff about exuding an eerie atmosphere outside, but the view of the living room in Riley’s eyes was more shabby than glamorous.

Living room, one room, one bathroom. The furniture was shabby and no electronics were visible.

Riley, who kept looking around in the atmosphere that perfectly suited the word ‘poor house’, narrowed his eyes when he found a red piggy bank lying alone in the corner of the living room.

[Mi-rae’s]

On the small piggy bank, Mi-rae’s name was written in small, straight letters. Its entrance was slightly opened, maybe because the inside was taken out.

How can I drink it? This drink.

Mi-rae was also gulping as she glanced at the cup Riley was holding as if it had been a long time since she drank coke.

“…here.”

Riley held out the cup he was holding to Mi-rae.

Mi-rae blinked with a look on her face that was like asking him why he was giving it to her.

“Actually, my taste buds changed while I was away.”

“Ah…”

As Mi-rae opened her mouth blankly, she tilted her head, not understanding what Nara, who was watching Riley’s behavior, was doing.

“Young master, didn’t you love brown sugar beer so much… Eub.”

Sera, who noticed the atmosphere, quickly shut Nara’s mouth and smiled brightly toward Mi-rae.

“We’re fine.”

Her words were incomprehensible, but Mi-rae, who was hesitating for a few seconds, realized that her smile contained the meaning of ‘it’s okay’. So, she accepted the cup Riley gave her.

“I can drink it in the future anyway. So, can you bring us water?”

When Riley’s permission fell, Mi-rae, who seemed to have been holding on until now, nodded with sparkling eyes.

“Yes!”

Mi-rae smiled brightly and took the tray back to the kitchen.

Sera, who was watching her back, sighed and lowered her hand that was covering Nara’s mouth.

“Commander, how can you be tactless like Mr. Ian? It’s good to idolize Mr. Ian, but you should be a little tactful.”

Nara, who let out a heavy breath at Sera’s scolding, acknowledged his fault and bowed his head.

“Well, she didn’t understand what we’re saying anyway, so I thought it would be okay, before I knew it…”

Seeing Mi-rae’s kindness, who tried to serve guests even in the midst of poverty, Nara, who had forgotten for a moment that she was younger than Iril, grumbled and tilted his head.

“…hmm? This?”

In the corner of the living room, he found a gray piece of paper with a familiar shape.

[Helena, the only Saintess in the city… After taking the unrivaled first place in the citizens’ trust vote, she announced that she will take action in earnest from next year…]

The gray paper, the newspaper, had the news of ‘Helena’, one of the reasons Riley came to this world.
