“Well, if you were a real gentleman, you wouldn’t do anything to steal from others.”

 

At that moment, the rabbit mask man stopped motionless to the extent that it was strange.

 

The rabbit man in front of me was one of the many dolls handled by the owner of this place. It’s the real person in the gap above the ceiling who controls him.

 

In other words, it’s the essence, for a moment strange air flowed.

 

“Haha! Hahaha!”

 

The rabbit mask twisted strangely and laughed.

 

I felt Yurgen standing behind the strange scene flinched for a while.

 

He was afraid that the rabbit mask, twisting and smiling at an angle that was not human, would appear in his dreams.

 

I twirled my hair with one finger and opened my mouth casually.

 

“I’m getting tired now. Let’s get things done quickly. I don’t really care about what you really are.”

 

“Haha! Shall we do that?”

 

Only then did the rabbit mask, which stopped laughing, turned to glance at the leather pocket a couple of times.

 

Then he slowly began to open the leather pocket.

 

“I’m glad I drank a lot of tea that’s soothing before I came.”

 

When I saw it, I hid my trembling hand in my arms.

 

It’s a rabbit mask that appears to be simply normal now, but the author’s abilities were never to be underestimated.

 

First and foremost, he was the man in charge of this insane fighting arena, so there’s no way he’s sane in any way.

 

“It’s…!”

 

The rabbit mask looked into the pocket and let out a small exclamation.

 

A sphere that shines brightly even in a dark pocket, it looks like a very precious thing from the outside.

 

‘That person will soon recognize the identity of the object.’

 

Sure enough, the rabbit mask man, which carefully picked up and took out the core of the demon, hardened.

 

Perhaps it was because he felt the strange magic in what appeared to be a jewel.

 

“If you want to know more, look at it under the moonlight.”

 

Even with my words, he couldn’t take his gaze away from the object in his hand, as if possessed.

 

He also noticed that this was what he had been eagerly looking for.

 

The easiest way to distinguish the core of that demon was to look at it in the moonlight, but it was also recognized by using special artifacts.

 

Looking at that reaction, I think he probably had such an artifact now.

 

So, I continued without hesitation.

 

“Do you like what I showed you?”

 

“…Where did you get it?” Hearing my question, the rabbit mask man asked back.

 

‘From now on, I must never be pushed back.’

 

I took a breath naturally and said, “I’d like you to answer my question first, and I believe that will suffice for the price I’m willing to pay.”

 

It was a high and arrogant attitude that had been taken since earlier. It wasn’t good to look easy in a place like this. It was better to be rude on purpose.

 

“Do you want to exchange this with a wolfbeast?”

 

“Yes, you can have it, and I can have the wolf. I think it’s a pretty good deal.”

 

Of course, a hundred times as good a deal as for me.

 

Because, contrary to popular belief, the core of the demon this man was searching for was a jingle that devoured its owner.

 

You’ll probably go crazy in half a year. But it wasn’t my business, and I didn’t mean to tell him.

 

To my words, the rabbit mask man didn’t say anything for a moment.

 

He seemed to be concerned as the value of the rare wolf beast was high.

 

“But you won’t easily give up what you’ve been looking for, for three years.” I swallowed my saliva without making a sound as my mouth felt dry.

 

The probability would be low, but if he attacks first, we won’t be able to solve it peacefully.

 

I took another sip of the cooled tea without taking my eyes off the man in the rabbit mask.

 

“…Okay.”

 

At that moment, I had to read all his gestures that were about to break down by the answer that popped out.

 

“It’s easier than I thought.”

 

 

ꕥ

 

 

“Then let’s go see the wolf beast first.”

 

The rabbit mask man hit the floor with a cane that was placed next to him.

 

Then it became as cloudy as it was when we came here earlier.

 

It seems that there’s also a magic circle connected to the place where Thane was located.

 

“Here we are.”

 

With the help of the magic circle, we moved to a stuffy basement.

 

In the space seen as a room, separated by a door with a small window, there were one or two figures that I saw earlier.

 

‘…These dirty bastards.’

 

I had to keep trying to swallow my swear words.

 

Because if I paid a little more attention, my face would be distorted right away.

 

‘If that’s the case, this damn bastard will think it’s weird.’

 

The underground space I thought was long was wider than I thought. I tried to pull myself together and walked after the rabbit mask man.

 

I bit my lip as I saw them hiding from something they were afraid of. Every time we took a step, the beasts curled up and hid as much as possible in the corner.

 

Of the dozens of people who could easily be saved, the only one I could save was Thane.

 

I felt so guilty that there was nothing I could do about it, even though I knew they were all being exploited unfairly.

 

“Here we are.”

 

Could it have been that much longer? The rabbit mask man stopped in front of a certain door.

 

‘….!’

 

There was Thane crouching, whose condition looked more serious than I had seen from afar.

 

I could feel the flow of magic from the door with Thane. It seemed to have been engraved with magic to prevent him from escaping.

 

‘…Thane.’

 

I slowly moved my gaze and glanced at Thane.

 

‘They haven’t even treated your wounds yet…’

 

Thane’s back was stained, crouching from the side.

 

I opened my mouth in an irritated tone, struggling to contain my anger.

 

“Aren’t there any treatments here? What if he dies before I even take him? If he dies before I can even use him, will you take responsibility?”

 

Why would I give you such a precious thing and buy a wolf? I pretended to be interested in Thane as a servant on purpose, hiding my impatience.

 

“Oh my! It looks like he hasn’t been treated yet. Haha, our staff aren’t very meticulous.”

 

Even after paying attention a few times. In response to my attitude, the rabbit mask man raised both hands and responded with a sarcastic tone.

 

‘It’s a shame that he hasn’t been treated yet.’

 

You probably didn’t have any intention of doing it from the beginning.

 

The healing potion was quite expensive even if it was intermediate, and at least six intermediate potions were needed to treat such serious injuries.

 

‘The cost of the healing potion was too expensive, so they probably didn’t even treat him.’

 

I expected it, but I couldn’t help but feel more angry.

 

“Beasts are very resilient, so they get better quickly. Don’t worry too much.”

 

“Well, I know that. Shall we close the deal here? You and I aren’t that free, are we?”

 

“Let me do that.”

 

The rabbit mask man, who giggled at my words, shrugged and opened the door.

 

Apparently fainted, Thane didn’t even move at the sound of the door being opened.

 

“You’re in a serious condition, we have to hurry up and leave.”

 

When I saw Thane in a bad condition, I felt more and more anxious.

  

 

Of course, he’s recovering slowly now, but I was worried because it looked like he had shed too much blood.

 

“You, take care of it.”

 

I beckoned to Yurgen, who had been standing silently behind me before, pulled out a leather bag from my arms and handed it to the rabbit mask man.

 

“So that’s the end of the deal.”

 

“How are you going to leave?”

 

“You’re not the only one who can use magic.”

 

When I finished speaking, I pinched my fingers.

 

Then, me, Yurgen, and Thane’s body, which had been lying on the floor, shone brightly and soon began to fade.

 

“Haha! You’re better than I thought…”

 

The voice of the rabbit mask man, which had not yet been finished, was cut off.

 

When I opened my eyes, I saw a neat room, unlike the unpleasant space.

 

“…It’s the office.”

 

“Yeah, it’s not magic, it’s an artifact…. Try taking out the healing potion sooner than that.”

 

I hurriedly checked Thane’s condition, throwing away the overbearing attitude I had been maintaining.

 

The sofa was soaked with blood, but there was no time to worry about it.

 

Thane, breathing heavily on the sofa, looked pitifully weak.

 

“It would be better to use an advanced potion.”

 

“Well, let’s do it.”

 

Yurgen took out a high-level treatment potion from his arms and held it out.

 

“I’m sorry, it might hurt a little.”

 

I whispered softly to Thane, who seemed unconscious.

 

Boom!

 

Then, with a loud sound, I opened the potion lid and immediately poured it on Thane’s back.

 

When the potion and the wound met, it was visible with the naked eye that the wound gradually healed with a bubbling sound.

 

The healing wound stopped recovering after gaining some cover.

 

“I hope the potions I have will suffice.”

 

I put the empty bottle down on the floor and took another potion.

 

After that, I used one more advanced potion and three more intermediate potions.

 

Only then was I able to heal all the wounds on Thane’s body.

 

“Phew… I can catch my breath now.”

 

When I looked at Thane, who had completed the treatment, his face seemed to have loosened a little more comfortably than before.

 

“I’m sorry, Yurgen, I’ll definitely buy you a new sofa.” Then gazing down on the stained sofa, I apologized with a smile.

 

For Yurgen, who likes neat things, this situation may not be very pleasant.

 

“That’s all right. It was inevitable.” Yurgen responded by rubbing his forehead with a tired expression on his face.

 

“Hehe. I’m really sorry.”

 

“I know, but rather than that, I’ll wash him and put him in bed, so please go home quickly, young lady.”

 

“Huh? I can leave after a little while.”

 

I came out after checking that my family and servants were asleep, and I made an illusion that looked just like me.

 

“It’s bedtime for children.”

 

“Oh, my! You don’t even see me as a child all the time, but only at times like this.”

 

At Yurgen’s answer, she mumbled bluntly.

 

I stumbled, but there was nothing else I could do here.

 

Thane has also been treated, so he would naturally open his eyes after relieving his accumulated fatigue.

 

“Okay. Then I’ll be back tomorrow.”

 

“That would be better.”

 

After I bid goodbye to Yurgen, I checked Thane’s condition once again and returned home using teleport.

 

That was the past of the first day I and Thane met, the past that only Yurgen and I can remember.
