Alice In Another World's

Chapter 07: Jobs With High Pay

Since my departure from the previous city, I began to write down many of my adventures in books, while drinking tea I began to fill them from beginning to end.

Actually I want to enjoy coffee unfortunately in this country coffee is prohibited circulation, I don't know what the reason is but that's the place I come to at this time.

I closed my book and replaced it with a newspaper that can be read for free in this cafe, two pages is not so interesting but the third one can amaze me.

It was a proclamation of a man known as the king of the good-natured bandits, supposedly said he always appeared in the middle of a hidden night, which he said, sneaking from house to house unnoticed and stealing every valuable item he could find.

Surprisingly all his targets were nobles who had many dark cases behind him, for his own money he distributed to people in need.

For society he is referred to as a hero while for the nobility he is a villain who must be exterminated.

I wanted to pretend not to know him unfortunately before I had met him, he was named Catrine who aspired to become a king of bandits.

The waiter showed up to put my next order.

"Ah, the king of bandits..would you like to join her?"

"Wandden?"

I tilted my head.

"Anyone who can catch it will be given 20 gold coins and given a magic book."

I'm a little interested in the word magic book, let's ask further.

"What kind of magic is it more?"

"Nobody was told but I think it's a pretty good magic considering that the magic book is very rare."

On the other hand I was interested but on the other hand I didn't want to put anyone I knew into prison, the worse he might be put to death.

"Then what's miss?"

I immediately retaliated.

"No, of course not, it says he's very good at fighting, and I'm just an ordinary Traveler."

"so."

I watched the strong people passing by and asked.

"They all?"

"Said the next target is the king of this country, as I recall our king is not a bad person but somehow made a target."

I felt an uneasy feeling, after finishing my order and paying, I immediately picked up White who was waiting for me outside the cafe.

Before anything happens let's get out of here, just as I step someone calls me first.

"Hoho, this is what fate calls.We finally meet Alice again."

"I'm sorry you wrong people."

Just as I was leaving the man wearing the hooded coat was holding my collar.

"Wait a minute, what the fuck? Even though we know each other, since we were far away I always remembered you Alice, I might have fallen in love with you."

He scares me, even though the statement was made by a man even though I was not in a position to have a romantic relationship. I'm not interested.

I sighed softly and then continued after turning around to see what kind of face he showed.

"For a long time no see Catrine, see what time it is. I must immediately continue my journey."

"Stop, you just came. I've been waiting for you since you arrived, let's chat."

Because it was not nice to see people, in the end I agreed, we did not chat in the cafe but on a park bench while enjoying ice cream.

I started the conversation.

"Welcome to be the king of bandits now."

"Alice knows, I'm a little embarrassed."

It's not that you're a shameless person who dares to sell people chili. I'm a little surprised he's embarrassed by congratulations.

Well let's put that aside.

"So you're really going to rob the king of this country?"

"Right, I made the announcement myself when stealing if it's too easy isn't fun."

He's getting worse.

"The thief doesn't sound cool, if the bandits don't it sounds awesome after all, I also scuttle people, especially the bad guys. Then Alice herself what kind of adventure did you go through?"

"Nothing special but I'm going to loan my diary."

I showed you my book that made Catrine's eyes glow brightly.

"Can I read it?"

"I'll allow it with one gold coin."

"Maybe you're out of money."

I don't want to say it but I'm in that state.

"I'll pay for it, if I want 20 gold coins for Alice's chastity."

"Then I'm stabbing you with my dagger right now."

"I'm just kidding, please pull your gun. I beg you and don't show such a cold look."

This guy has changed to what extent.

I got the money I asked for and in exchange I gave the book, reading someone's diary something forbidden one gold coin is very cheap.

"Alice has gone through many adventures."

"That's how," I answered while licking my ice cream.

"Not that it's terrible, killing two countries without letting anyone live, it's too cruel."

"She simply had no choice, she also wanted to live in search of her daughter. I wish he had found her."

After reading my book, Catrine gave it back to me.

"It just so happens that because of meeting Alice here, how about you cooperate with me?"

"You mean to be a thief."

"Right, the pay is pretty big we can split it in half and Alice doesn't have to worry about the travel expenses, I'm sure your horse wants to eat something nice besides grass."

"Horses don't eat anything else."

"But my horse eats bread occasionally."

Whether the pet or the owner is equally unique I guess.

"I want to make sure that one thing, not that the king of this country is a good man, is at least what the inhabitants say."

Catrine was silent for a moment before replying to my words.

"Actually this isn't a heist that I often do, it's a request from the other country."

"Next country?"

"Yes, before the next country sent a gift as a memorial of peace between the two of them is a sword, but the king of the next country was wrong and instead gave a sword heirloom his family, he said, that's why I was asked to steal it and give it back, if I steal it the next country will not be blamed and also they will replace it with a new sword as a symbol of peace."

"I can understand that, but if you steal from a person who is considered good instead of your reputation becomes bad."

"That's not to worry, everyone has a bad side, no, all I have to do is figure out what the dark side is and then spread it to the general public before the heist, not I'm a genius."

He only made things worse, first he made it all difficult with many guards everywhere and secondly to look for the ugliness of others who had high status was extremely difficult.

As if reading my mind, Catrine smiled cunningly.

"I've prepared a good thing, look at this."

I was shown a brochure about the job of being a servant in the palace.

"In addition to finding out the existence of the sword we can also get what we want."

"It turns out you could use your head."

"His cruelty, Alice is cruel."

"If it's like that then I'll be there too."

"Yey."

I think sometimes like this is interesting too.
