Episode 35
Episode 20. Jecca Dean (2)
“Oh, and Sir Varys came to visit.”
Cindy even reported to Yuma.
“Sir Varys? why me?”
Yuma replied pretending not to know why.
“Well, he came and asked if Yuma was there and just passed away.”
“Hmm I see. The royal family guards must be quite busy, but they seem to have time to visit me.”
“Should I inform Sir Barris that Lady Yuma has returned?”
“No, don’t do that. Right now, Jeka’s team takes precedence. What kind of person is your friend named Zecca? Other than being the bastard of the Rollmandy family, is there anything else special?”
“They say I don’t have a very good personality. That’s why they say they come and go a little too hard.”
“hmm. Okay, let me see if you keep that bad personality.”
Yuma washed herself clean with the bath water Shupin prepared and put on new clothes.
For the past few days, I felt like my body, which had been sore from sleeping only on the sofa in the special room at Kalam Restaurant or on the ship, was relieved.
“In front of Spinin, you manage one of the ledgers at the upper level.”
“As for the ledger, isn’t Miss Cindy handling it meticulously? I learned it while the little master was gone.”
“The ledger of the Pouang Merchant is like that.
It’s the Conedin Merchant that you’ll manage. It’s our new top. There will be quite a lot of money coming and going, so keep an eye on it. Understand?”
Yuma patted Shupin on the shoulder and said. Shupin nodded as if he was thrilled to be entrusted with a big job.
It was a bare matter that the smuggling of magic crystals was continuously reported to the imperial castle through Cindy.
‘By the way, why is Baris so anxious to use me?… The 1st Princess and Baris The 1st Princess and Baris… What the hell is the relationship?’
Varys, a talented opportunist and the leader of the Royal Guard Knights before returning.
He was also a person who knelt down once in the eunuch’s office before returning and once in the mountain behind the imperial castle after returning.
He wasn’t as good as Mero, but he was a very unpleasant person.
Yuma was well aware of Varys’ personality. He was not the kind of person who would seek out the lower ones.
The fact that Varys had personally visited Yuma, a commoner, meant that he had an intention. Therefore, the initiative belonged to Yuma.
‘First of all, what I need to pay attention to is my car top. I’ll have to take a look at Varys later to find out in person.’
As always, Yuma decided to take the straight-forward approach to this problem as well.
“First of all, I need to meet a friend named Jeka, Mr. Puang.”
“I have to take care of the overdue upper division work…
“You are resting this time. Try looking for a bride for Mr. Hugo.”
“All right. But what are you going to do when we meet?”
“I plan to extort the money that Haseo is making from smuggling magic stones. 30% periodically.”
“Isn’t that a crime?”
“What a surprise. Smuggling there is illegal anyway.”
If he could receive only 30% on a periodic basis, he could make up for his dividends to Natalie. Yuma took the map Cindy gave him and started walking towards the top of Zekka.
‘The bastard of the Rollmandy family. My name is Kara.’
It was a name I had heard somewhere. But I couldn’t remember where I had heard of it.
Yuma walked the streets of the capital in a bad mood. A few people recognized Yuma and greeted her.
The headquarters of the Jeka Merchant was much smaller than the Mansion of the Puang Merchant. No, it was a small two-story building that couldn’t even be called a mansion.
The old signboard attached to the building was rusty, so I couldn’t even see the words “Zekka Corps” properly.
“What are you here for?”
It was a polite question I hadn’t heard in a long time.
Although they were ordinary servants, all the gatekeepers that Yuma had experienced lately had either spoken rudely or acted uncooperatively.
“I came to meet the leader of the Jeka Merchant.”
“Who can I tell you?”
“Yuma at the top of Pouang.”
“ah! It was Yuma. It is an honor to meet you.”
To the common people, Yuma was nothing short of a hero. It was an exceptional treatment for him to participate in a knight’s match as a commoner, win, and attend the imperial banquet.
Countless commoners were supporting Yuma, whom they had never seen before.
In addition, he won a match against a knight of the Rollmandi family, who was known for his high nose, and even received a kiss from the second princess.
The story of Yuma continued to be talked about at the bar where commoners usually went.
“Thank you for the honor.”
“I will inform the master.”
When the servant returned, Yuma was able to enter the headquarters of the Zeka Merchant.
“But… Yuma-sama.”
The servant spoke before entering the building.
“Tell me.”
“Do you know about our master?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Usually, he treats his subordinates very well and is a nice person.
But once in a while, he suddenly becomes very sensitive. Have a seizure or…
“Have a seizure?”
“yes. Don’t be too offended if the master commits rudeness…
And he gets very violent when angry, so leave quickly.”
“Okay.”
Jecca was sitting in the largest room on the second floor of the building. On his desk, stacks of various papers and bottles of alcohol were piled up.
The smell of alcohol was so strong that Yuma involuntarily wrinkled his nose.
“Oh come on.”
Jeka was a man with a sharp impression. Long, swept hair, tall.
It also gave off a rebellious feeling for some reason.
‘He looks like an bastard with a twisted personality.’
Zecca approached Yuma and asked for a handshake.
Yuma was startled while holding hands with Zecca.
Even the energy of the aura that is running wild uncontrollably in the body of the calloused palm where you can feel the grip of the bulging bones.
The energy was so ferocious that it seemed as if it would pierce Zecca’s body at any moment and spill out here and there.
‘It’s a proper mugol…
It was never a hand that would run such a small guild.
It was indeed Hayes Rollmandy’s bloodline.
“My name is Yuma.”
“Yuma of the top of Puang! Heard a lot of rumors. You must have heard a lot of my rumors, right?”
“I’ve never heard of it.”
“ha ha ha! Didn’t the mutts of Mayor Hale know that I was the bastard of the Rollmandy family? That’s what I asked.”
“I heard that for the first time yesterday.”
“Anyway, nice to meet you! I don’t know why you came here, but let’s have a drink!”
Without even asking Yuma’s doctor, Zecca opened the drawer and took out several bottles of alcohol.
As you can see, it was quite a solo. It was too much to drink during the day.
But who is Yuma? He had a history of drinking hundreds of bottles of wine with Durandel and emptying five barrels of Shallah wine from Zishka on the spot.
For Yuma, a few bottles of hard liquor were no business.
Yuma sat down in front of Zecca and unplugged the iron liquor with his bare hands.
“Hey, the power is very good. You are indeed a war hero!”
Zecca also tore off the stopper with her bare hands. I didn’t say it with any intention.
Zecca was a person who had to get all the thoughts in his head out of his mouth.
Yuma and Zecca drank from the bottle without a glass.
The sound of alcohol going down their throats echoed through the room.
‘It’s a dangerous sleep. He’s a human who doesn’t know when he’ll explode.’
As soon as they shook hands, Yuma realized why Zecca was drinking so much. Jeka was unable to control her own power.
The angry aura with the intention of tearing it apart seemed to be ready to devour Zecca at any moment.
“nice-! Without this, I would probably be dead.”
“Maybe.”
“Oh, Yuma. You are a very likable person. But why did you come looking for me?”
“Regarding the trade with Haseo…
“No, no! It doesn’t matter. Our meeting today is important. Let’s have a drink.”
Yuma decided to keep an eye on Zecca. For over two hours they drank without stopping.
Even if Zeca says something, cheers! he exclaimed, and took a new drink.
“…So you know what I did? I hid his underwear! I mean underwear! ha ha ha!”
Jeka was constantly talking nonsense.
Yuma had been trying to remember where he had heard the name Zecca. Looking closely, it seemed that I had seen Zecca’s face at some point.
‘This is the first time I can’t remember something like this.’
Yuma felt that Zecca’s spirit was similar to that of a child.
If something comes to mind, say it right away, and if something else comes to mind, say it.
And young children often get angry when things don’t go their way or their brains get complicated.
“Yuma-sama.”
“yes.”
“What did you say you came for?”
“It came about the trade with Haseo…
“No, no. I was suddenly tired. turn it off I don’t even want to see you, so get out of here!”
Suddenly, Zecca turned her eyes fiercely and glared at Yuma. He was ready to swing the bottle and hit Yuma.
“What if you don’t like it?”
“I will kill you!”
It was a cry like that of a wild beast.
Zecca gnashed her teeth with a red band of blood on her neck. In an instant, his eyes were bloodshot.
‘I’m not some kind of abandoned wild dog… It’s a bomb, a bomb.’
Yuma emptied the bottle he was holding while ignoring Zecca.
“Oh my, oh my! master!”
“master! You can’t!
Hurry up, Yuma-sama, avoid it!”
Hearing Jeka’s excited voice, the servants hurriedly jumped up and shouted. The servants kept trembling outside the room and telling Yuma to come out.
“Everybody get out of the house.”
Yuma turned her head and spoke to the servants.
To the servants, Yuma looked like a man acting recklessly in front of an unbridled beast.
However, if they got caught up in it, it was certain that at least something would be broken or they would die, so the servants hurried down the building.
“Such a bastard… Keuuk!”
From a sitting position, Yuma stretched out his fist and hit Zecca in the face. His nose bleeds and he splatters on the desk.
Yuma was relieved when he stopped talking the whole time and then ignored him.
“Even if we destroy the guild headquarters anyway, will the Rolmandee family do it for us? It is also very old and remote.”
“I’ll treat you as befits a war hero!”
Dark auras began to gather around Zecca. It was a dark color like pitch black. Yuma’s pupils widened.
‘Isn’t this the aura of a demon!? ah!’
Upon seeing the black aura, Yuma realized the identity of the person named Zekara, who had been pinning him all day.
Where did he see Zecca and what did he do?
But it was not the time to relax and reminisce about old memories. Yuma had left Ascalon behind.
Zecca jumped up and clawed at Yuma like a tiger. There was a black aura in his fingertips.
‘damn!’
It was not a power that could be blocked by wrapping an aura around his bare body.
Yuma hurriedly turned around with his swift speed. Smoke rose from the hem of the lightly brushed coat.
A transparent black line appeared in the air where Zecca’s hand passed and then disappeared.
Yuma raised his aura and prepared to face Zecca.
