Remorseless Chaser Jamel.
Remorseless Chaser Jamel.
A pressed bread hat and overalls slightly larger than the body. and a white shirt.
Perley was humming a song and moving through the crowd with a very breezy gait, neither too fast nor too slow.
On the other hand.
“What?! Doesn’t that whirlwind-shaped roasted potato look delicious?”
‘killing…!’
Jamel, who agreed to the suggestion of the mother who suggested tailing, was caught by the street vendors who began to appear one by one in the darkening streets.
I thought it would be like this
‘Kill kill!’
Mother’s hand pulling on my clothes. At the request to buy that, I smiled bitterly and took money out of my pocket and held it out.
“Two whirlwind potatoes, please.”
“Yes, it works!”
Shortly after the checkout, I was handed two whirlwind potatoes with warm steam rising from them.
“Eat one.”
“Wow!!! thank you!!!”
‘Say hat!!!’
Seeing how much everyone liked this cheap potato filled my heart with pride that I was really good at making money.
“it is delicious!!! Really!!! What?!”
‘killing…?’
Jamel, who was eating whirlwind potatoes, opened his eyes wide as if he realized something.
“Wasn’t I chasing after our Pearly?! Could it be that I lost myself in the whirlwind potato?!”
‘Hat killed?!’
Jamel and her mother rushed to find Pearly, clutching whirlwind potatoes in one hand. Fortunately, Pearly hadn’t gone too far, as she was paying for food in front of a street vendor.
“Whew.”
Jamel let out a deep sigh and laughed briskly.
“Fortunately, I don’t think I went that far! By the way…”
She paused for a moment and swallowed with a ‘Chew.’ Her bright light green eyes were fixed on the chicken skewers Pearly had been handed to her.
Have I ever been hungry?
No matter how you think about it, Jamel must have left with his stomach filled with the food I bought just a few tens of minutes ago.
Jamel poked and stabbed his mother in the side as she nibble on the whirlwind potatoes. The mother tilted her head as she munched her mouth full of potatoes.
‘killing?’
“Doesn’t that chicken skewer look delicious…?”
At that word, her mother’s eyes changed into a state similar to Jamel’s. With eyes longing for the chicken skewers in Pearly’s hand.
“…Once you eat everything you have in your hand, I’ll buy you that chicken skewer as well.”
“Wow!!!”
‘killing!’
It seemed like he didn’t care about tailing anymore, but I thought so.
In the first place, Pearly was not lax enough to reveal all the secrets to the combination of Jamel and her mother. I also couldn’t figure out what was in Pearly’s stomach.
One thing is for sure, she was very kind to our group now. I even saved everyone once before. Of course, her favor would be a prudent act based on my use value, but in the current situation, there was no reason not to use it.
All I had to do was retrieve the holy relic that contained my mother’s divinity, so it would be best to keep a close eye on her without letting go of suspicion right now.
“I ate it all! Hurry up and go eat some chicken skewers!”
‘killing!’
Just as Pearly moved again, Jamel and her mother sprinted toward the yakitori restaurant as if they had been waiting. Jamel quickly held out two fingers.
“Give me two identical ones to the one I just sold!”
The man who appeared to be the owner looked at Jamel with sunken eyes and nodded. I arrived later and asked the price.
“How are you?”
“Two of them make ten fairy tales.”
“It is a bit expensive. Here you are.”
Compared to the whirlwind potatoes I bought earlier, which cost one piece each, this chicken skewer was very expensive. Even considering that the capital of the Northern Empire is more expensive than other places.
The owner of the yakitori restaurant took the money I offered without saying a word and handed out two skewers. I passed the two chicken skewers to my mother and Jamel and followed the direction Pearly was heading with my eyes.
dang.
Not far away, Pearly dropped a fairy tale into the crippled beggar’s hat. The beggar bowed deeply and thanked Pearly.
Pearly walked the streets humming the song again without any regrets without being thanked.
Well well.
Jamel hid behind my back and stared at the scene. Perhaps because of the chicken skewers in her mouth, she seemed to have decided to focus more on Purley’s pursuit.
Two narrowing eyes. Jamel looked at Pearly’s back with a serious expression.
“It’s not trivial to say that you’re making enemies with a beggar.”
“Did you find out something?”
“Priest Marnak, I’m not very familiar with Pearly, so I don’t know. I know one. Pearly is just a very different person on the outside and inside! Besides, even if Pearly wins a lot of sweets by playing cards, she won’t give any to anyone who loses! To think that such a Pearly would give money to a beggar! It’s weird, but it’s so weird! Does your mother think so too?”
When Jamel casually called her mother, her mother touched her chin and muttered with a rather serious expression.
‘killing.’
One word for sure.
“Priest Marnak! That’s it! That beggar is a member of a secret organization somewhere, and for a coin, the beggar whispers something secret in a low voice! If you go with a group of people, you might get suspicious, so just watch it here!”
Jamel glanced around, then quickly sprinted to the beggar and dropped a fairy tale into the beggar’s hat.
dang.
The crippled beggar bowed his head deeply in gratitude, just as he did to Pearly.
“Did you find out something?”
Jamel looked up at me, half crying.
“A beggar ate my money… My fairy tale…”
I wordlessly took a fairy tale out of my pocket and put it in Jamel’s hand. Jamel’s face brightened again.
“Hi-Hi.”
“Are you going to keep chasing me?”
“Of course! In fact, that was the beggar just now! A psychological trap that Pearly has planted for potential pursuers! Although he was lucky enough to trick me this time! That Jamel is not such an easy pursuer! A very fearsome and relentless pursuer! So, priest Marnak, just trust me!”
She even waved her hands and appealed for her competence.
“By the way, do you know where Pearly went? I forgot about it.”
“Ah?!”
‘killing.’
Whether Jamel was embarrassed or not, her mother quietly extended her finger and pointed to a store. While adding that Pearly went into it.
“You say that Pearly went into that store.”
“I knew that too! cancer cancer! Oh, let’s go! Priest Marnak!”
It was a lie that a passer-by snort wouldn’t be fooled by, but Jamel seemed to want to instill in me an image of himself as competent, so I was willing to be fooled.
The three of us cautiously approached the store and checked out what it was selling. The store that Pearly entered was a clothing store with a glass wall in front. Looking closely, I saw Pearly walking up the stairs to this level of the store.
Unfortunately, only one side of the first floor was glass, so I could no longer follow her with my eyes.
“What should I do? Would you like to follow along? Or would you like to wait here until they come out?”
“Ummmm…”
Jamel pretended to be thinking hard and glanced at her mother. The mother smiled as her gaze focused on herself.
‘killing!’
Opinion to wait outside for a while as it would be embarrassing if we ran into each other after going in. I conveyed my mother’s will to Jamel.
“great! That was exactly what I was thinking!”
While walking around in front of the store like that, Pearly didn’t come back down to the first floor for a while. Jamel rolled his eyes and whispered softly into his mother’s ear.
“What if there’s a secret passage on the second floor of that clothing store, so you can escape somewhere else?”
‘Hat killed?!’
As soon as she heard Jamel’s story, my mother raised her head and looked up at me anxiously.
It’s not like I have a specific answer.
The day was slowly getting dark, and the roadside lights were coming on from time to time. That clothing store is sure to close soon anyway, so we all go in together and look for Pearly.
“I think it would be a good idea to follow along once in a while.”
“I agree with Priest Marnak’s opinion!!!”
‘Kill and kill.’
One word that I was just about to do. The three of us entered the clothing store like that. As we entered the store, a clothing store clerk approached us as if he had been waiting. The clerk smiled at us and pointed to the stairs.
“The real precious clothes are upstairs, so I think it would be better for beautiful guests to go upstairs.”
The clerk’s behavior was very suspicious. They’re telling us to go upstairs without hesitation because when the hell did they see us?
“Hehehe. I am pretty! Priest Marnak! I think it’s right for us to pick out our clothes on the second floor!!!”
The flaccid Jamel was ready to run upstairs at any moment, but her mother answered by squinting her eyes at the clerk. It’s like you’re saying what you want.
The clerk still maintained a friendly smile despite her mother’s hostile gaze.
“Then let’s go back.”
Seeing the clerk quietly withdrawing, I suddenly thought of an assumption.
What if the series of actions Pearly did were some kind of signal?
What if the act of buying overpriced chicken skewers, serving beggars, and entering this store were all intentional actions to contact someone, and we were guided to this floor because we followed Pearly’s actions exactly?
I wondered if I was overthinking it, but if it was Pearly, it seemed like it could be enough.
“I recommend that, how about going upstairs?”
“I like it!”
‘killing.’
The mother gently touched the slaughterer around her waist and smiled sinisterly. It seemed that he was imagining the use of force in case someone interfered with Purley’s pursuit.
When we climbed the stairs and arrived at the second floor of the clothing store, the only thing that greeted us was the clothes displayed here and there without a single employee. The scene was not very different from the one displayed on the first floor.
Yeah, there’s no way you can easily chase it.
“There is no Pearly! Then it seems that now is the time for this ruthless pursuer, Jamel, to come into action!”
Jamel glanced around, then hurried over to the wall, raised his hand, and murmured softly:
“O crumpled rock. If this wall has seen anything, please tell me just a little bit.”
As the necklace absorbed the aftermath of the authority, a knee-length stone man protruded from the wall. The stone man walked around, spilling stone powder, and started to do something busily while wandering around the store.
Several places of the clothes on display changed, and finally, when I tapped on a corner of the wall, the wall opened with a rattling sound. The stone man bowed his head to Jamel and disappeared into the wall just as he did when he appeared.
“Hehehe.”
When Jamel saw the aisle that appeared, he smiled broadly and stared at me and my mother.
“Hehehe.”
It was obvious what she was waiting for.
“You are also very capable. I have always believed in Jamel.”
“Hee hee hee! No big deal! Then come on in! Come on!”
Jamel came out and grabbed my mother’s hands one by one and strode us into the hallway.
***
“Huh?!”
‘killing?!’
The place we arrived after passing through the complicated corridors was a splendid space filled with colorful lights. To be exact, the space under the balcony where we were was like that.
Neatly arranged tables and people sitting around them. And piles of chips.
Following Pearly, the place we arrived at was a very fancy gambling hall. Perley, perched on the railing, greeted us with a crunchy bite of an apple.
“what! what! What to do when it comes now! long time! A long time! You waited!”
