I'm the Only One With a Different Genre - Chapter 76
Chapter 76
Lian Appeared in Leviathan!
***
“…It seems you’re not interested in what I’m saying.”
From the wicked laughter that occasionally showed through, Noah keenly realized that the boss of Vian wasn’t interested in what she was saying. It bothered her, but it wasn’t a complete loss.
The Vian organization was known for their outstanding strength despite lacking in intelligence. This was a time to clearly see what kind of person the boss of such an organization was. That alone was a big gain.
“Ah, no way.”
The boss of Vian belatedly put on an expression while making silly jokes, but Noah had no intention of continuing the conversation any further. She spoke in a resolute voice.
“Enough. We’re both busy people, so let’s part ways here.”
“Well, do you think it will go as you wish?”
Quite some time had passed since the signal was given. By now, there should have been plenty of time to take hostages. The boss of Vian spoke with a grotesque smile that made her cheekbones protrude.
“It seems you brought someone you quite cherish to room 2024. A lover, perhaps?”
“….! Damn it!”
Noah, who instantly grasped the situation, jumped up from her seat.
The person waiting in room 2024 was Lily. As a rule, when two organization bosses meet, they don’t bring other members, but it was a rule that was rarely followed.
After all, meeting empty-handed in a situation where you never know when the other party might backstab you was too dangerous a gamble. However, bringing too many members overtly could be seen as a declaration of war.
Therefore, it was customary to scatter a subtle number of members around and meet while being wary of each other. But Noah had no intention of doing that.
In her organization, there wasn’t a single person stronger than Noah. The members she brought could rather become a burden. Noah even wanted to leave behind Nero, who insisted on accompanying her as a guard.
No matter how strong Noah was, there was no one who would quietly listen to her saying she would walk into enemy territory alone.
Due to tremendous opposition, Nero, one of the strongest in the organization, had no choice but to become her guard, and Lily decided to wait downstairs in case of any unexpected situations.
Since it was such a sudden decision and they moved in a small number, Noah, who had been at ease, bit her tongue slightly and thought.
‘As expected, there was a spy in the organization. And it was one of the executives.’
Otherwise, there was no way the story about Lily would have spread. She inwardly cursed at her own complacency. She wanted to rush out the door right now, but turning her back in front of an enemy was a foolish move.
Noah drew her sword from the scabbard leaning against the sofa with a coldly sunken face.
Srrng.
Even in the face of the threatening sound, the boss of Vian didn’t stop her, only grinning grotesquely. She raised her index finger and lightly waved it side to side, speaking.
“Oh, no, no. You don’t think I brought this up without any measures, do you?”
“…What did you do to my subordinate?”
At Noah’s murderous voice, the boss of Vian laughed out loud and spoke.
“Hahah! Now we can communicate! First, sit down, let’s finish our talk while sitting -…”
Before she could even finish her sentence.
Bang!
“Kyaaaaak!”
“Uwaaaaak!”
Along with the sound of something shattering and breaking, a thud was heard. At the same time, screams rang out from outside the inn.
It was the sound of passersby screaming and retreating as something fell in front of the inn. Someone shouted loudly.
“Which bastard threw a corpse on the street!”
In this place where morality and law couldn’t properly function, people only cursed at the senseless act of throwing a corpse at a passerby, but didn’t particularly get angry about someone dying.
The boss of Vian instinctively felt a sense of foreboding at the commotion coming from downstairs. The moment her lips were tightly shut and her gaze turned towards the window, the irritated voice suddenly changed to a frightened one and started shouting.
T h i s w a s c o pi e d f r o m k i n g mt l . or g
“H-hey! Aren’t those the orc unit guys?!”
“Oh my god! I-it’s true! It seems to be a fight between organizations! R-run away!”
T hi s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i ng mt l . o rg
“Uwaaaak!”
The corpse that fell outside, the orc unit.
They were words informing her that the order she had given had failed. Noah made a relieved expression, then signaled to Nero standing behind her. It meant for him to go down first.
Thi s w a s copi ed f r om ki n gmt l . o r g
Tap!
T h i s w as c op i e d f r o m k in gm t l. o rg
The boss of Vian didn’t stop Nero as he ran out. She simply stood up from her seat, silently making the blood vessels near her eyes protrude.
“This bastard and that bastard! No one does anything right!”
As she gnashed her teeth and unleashed killing intent, her clothes began to tear with a sound of ripping. Noah adjusted her grip on her sword at the sight of the woman’s body swelling enormously, reminiscent of a werewolf.
“Kraaaak! I’ll clean up everything now that it’s come to this! No one will be able to return alive!”
The fight between the two bosses began.
***
Same time, bathroom of room 2023.
“Euh-heung.”
As I came out after pleasantly soaking my entire body in the bathtub, I unconsciously hummed. With a languid smile, I slightly opened the bathroom door, grabbed my clothes, and quickly closed the door.
“Huh? What are these wood pieces?”
I tilted my head as I saw sawdust and small broken wood pieces on my clothes, then lightly brushed them off.
“Did dust get in? I should close the window.”
T h is w a s c o p i ed f r o m ki n g m tl. o r g
With that thought, I got dressed. I had returned the demonic sword to the back of my hand a little while ago, so I put a towel on my head and left the bathroom.
Th i s w a s c opied f r o m k i n g m t l . or g
“Sorry, did it take long? It’s been a while…”
Lian, who was speaking with a soft smile, slowly lost his words.
Jess, who was vigorously scrubbing the blood-soaked floor with clothes from who knows where, froze like a guilty puppy upon making eye contact with me.
Iris, who for some reason was standing in front of the terribly shattered window, looking in my direction.
The floor was filled with blood, the door was broken, and beyond it lay several corpses. I pointed towards the corridor with my trembling hand and spoke.
“I-I-Iris, th-this is just a casual question, but that….”
“They suddenly came and tried to hit us…”
“You did well! Really well!”
I immediately gave a thumbs up at Iris’s mumbled words with a sullen face.
“You did… well, but..! Let’s leave here now! If we cause such a big commotion, the alley bosses of this area might show up!”
Sirens began blaring in my head. I packed my luggage at a terrifying speed, tucked Jess under my arm (Jess: Uh..?), and grasped Iris’s hand with my other hand, then jumped out the broken window.
Thump!
The three corpses piled up below served as a cushion.
“Heuk… s-so cruel!”
“To think such young kids took down the orc unit..”
Those who had been watching the inn from a distance were either amazed at Lian’s cruelty in using corpses as a cushion or shrank their shoulders at the appearance of new powerhouses.
I immediately turned my body and entered the inn. I ran into the innkeeper who was packing his luggage to run away.
“Oh my god!”
Only after seeing the innkeeper’s reaction did I realize the kids were covered in blood. I put Jess down and held out a gold coin to the innkeeper.
“We had a little accident upstairs… and some furniture got broken. This is compensation for that.”
“Huh.”
T h i s wa s c o pi e d f ro m k in gmtl . o rg
The innkeeper quickly nodded, seeming satisfied with the compensation.
“Then I’ll be on my way since I’m busy..”
Bang, kwakwang!
Hearing the sound of fighting from above, I thought my prediction was indeed correct, took out robes from my bag, and put them on the kids before wearing one myself.
However, the robes I took out this time were the black robes commonly worn by mercenaries. The high-quality robes that stood out wouldn’t be helpful in this situation where we had caused an accident.
With the help of the innkeeper, I left the inn through the back door and ran towards the east, the opposite direction of the inn.
Thi s w as c o p i e d f r o m ki n gmt l . or g
I stopped after running for quite a while, feeling like I had moved from one end of the city to the other. Judging from the clearly different atmosphere compared to the previous area, it seemed another alley boss was in charge of this place. Feeling relieved by that fact, I looked around.
T h i s w a s c op i ed f ro m k i n g m t l. o rg
“Hey, you there.”
At that moment, a voice mixed with provocation was heard. As soon as I stopped running, I was caught in a fight, making me wonder if I should run again to avoid getting involved in a bothersome situation.
“You’re here to participate in the Black Assembly too, right? It’s about time to start, so hurry up and go.”
“…?”
As I blankly stared at the man, feeling puzzled by the unexpected story, the man snorted and said.
“There’s not a single person who would pick a fight with someone running at a crazy speed, so stop staring and quickly go to the Black Assembly.”
The question about the Black Assembly wasn’t resolved, but I was grateful for not getting caught up in a troublesome fight. I started walking with the kids to find a new inn.
“Ah, that inn looks good. Should we go there?”
“Anywhere is fine as long as brother is there.”
Th is wa s co p ie d f r o m k i n gmtl . o rg
“Me too!”
I couldn’t help but laugh as I saw Jess’s robe shaking, probably from her wagging tail. I headed to the inn with the kids.
“Now then, let’s begin the Black Assembly.”
…Of all places, it happened to be where some Black Assembly or whatever was being held.
