Chapter 23: My patience’s about to run out!


    When I came to, I found myself within a jail cell.


    <em>Huh? What happened? Wasnt I chasing down the refugees that escaped us?</em>


    Ah!


    And then I remembered. I discovered a vige in this wastnd, snuck into it, and then reported to my senior that this ce was easy money what with it being mostly women and children.


    right after reporting that though, my body became frozen and unable to move


    <<Oi, Baal! Can you hear me, damn it!? Baal!>>


    <<? Ah, sir>>


    <<Tsk, if you can hear me, answer sooner.>>


    <<S-Sorry>>


    When I noticed Satin was contacting me telepathically, I hurriedly answered and apologized as well.


    <<Were on our way to the vige you mentioned.>>


    <<Really?>>


    <<Yeah. More importantly, are you sure this is easy money?>>


    <<Of course!>>


    I answered so, but I immediately panicked.


    Despite being a vige of only women and children, I was effortlessly captured and jailed. There was this chance that this might not be an ordinary vige as I initially thought.


    I considered telling Satin my current situation, but decided not to. For if I did, the boss would have been so enraged he would kick me out of the group right there and then. Moreover, they might note at all to help me get out.


    And so, I decided to stick to my lie.


    <<I mean,e on, its a vige of only women and children! Plus, some of them should fetch us a high bid!>>


    I was technically not lying. Not wholly.


    The blue-haired girl I saw before passing out ought to have a nice price attached to her.


    Just when I was thinking that, the girl in question appeared on the other side of the iron bars of my cell.


    So, youve woken up.


    So, youve woken up.


    Selen said so to the man she captured.


    He looked like he was in thetter half of his twenties. He was slim and seemed lithe, making him really look like a bandit.


    Hidden on his person was a knife. Of course, we had confiscated this.


    For the moment, he was being detained in the jailhouse I built.


    As an added precaution, we also shackled him to the wall.


    So, who are you?


    Youre a bandit, arent you?


    To Selens questions, the man only answered with silence.


    Why are you alone? Where are your associates? How many people are in your group?


    His allies could possibly be on their way to our vige. We wanted to get as much information as we could from him so that we could prepare ordingly, but as things were


    Ehehe, why dont you leave things to me now?


    G-granny?


    With an enigmaticugh, the oldest person in the vige walked in.


    Yes, it was the olddy whose Suitable upation was to be a torturer.


    Oi, you, be sure to answer my questions, alright?


    Can you hear me?


    Im asking if you can hear me, you fucking brat!


    All of a sudden, the olddy shouted really loud. At the same time, a kick from her made contact with the mansher region.


    !?


    As much as the shackles allowed, the man fell down in utter pain.


    Ehehehe, hurts, doesnt it? But weve only just begun. I dont mind tenderly crushing your balls some more.


    Hii.


    Granny said so and thenughed maniacally.


    <em>Granny youre so scary</em>


    Enough Im so sorry, so please, enough


    Then hurry up and spill! My patiences about to run out!


    Granny yelled so while tightening her grip on the mans balls.


    Alright, Ill talk, Ill talk! Stop, Ill talk!


    His face pale white, the man told us everything.


    Like we suspected, this man was part of a group of bandits. He was pursuing the group of refugees who escaped from them. It was his fault that the refugees escaped, so as punishment, he was made to retrieve them all by himself.


    I had hoped that by imprisoning the man here, our viges location wouldnt be known to the other bandits for at least a while. However, because the bandits had someone with the Gift called [Telepathy], the man managed to share such information. In other words, the group of bandits would be here soon.


    Hmph, [Telepathy], huh. Even though theyre bandits, they have such an impressive Gift.


    After saying so, Granny snorted and then spat on the ground.


    We didnt know how many exactly, but ording to the man, their group easily had more than 60 members. 60 violent people adept at piging.


    Right now, we had no other choice than to confront such people.
