The Sended's

Chapter 90: Living at The Point of a Gun

.

The Uwah! Fresh air, I can finally breathe fresh air again!

Down there, although I can still breathe but it feels very tight, I think it is another ability of Satan that can live in that place without difficulty. Uh! Or they evolved?

Maybe we used to have the same ability, but because thousands of years passed the ability faded.

Hm... But I didn't come out of the hole I had before, the intention was I wanted to do that... But it seems like I took a different path in the cave labyrinth earlier and got to the hole in front of Qing city

Luckily no one saw me, I forgot to use body temperature detection magic...

Let me breathe this fresh air in peace for a moment.

Ah... I want to shower soon...

After a while of enjoying the fresh air, I went around the city walls looking for the gate

The walls of Qing City were quite high as well, higher than Jin's, but both of them were slightly slanted because that was the way they were made in this era, using gravity so that the walls were strong enough

Well, it means nothing if we use the tower of besung anyway.

"ah! See," I finally found the gate after turning

I want to get in but I don't think it's possible because of the long line in front of him

"Let us in!"

"Yes!"

I don't know what their motivation was to enter but a commotion occurred because they were already tired of waiting

When I first came here was not this crowded, why do you think?

Uh! Wasn't it because of the previous demonic chaos? If it is true that they went up to the entire Qing region then it is appropriate that many people fled into the city

"The government has been issued! The city is full so expect people to return to their homes!" said the gatekeeper

"What?!"

"You want us all to die by monsters?!"

A monster?

"One half of my village was wiped out because of a goblin attack!"

"That's right! Mine's ruined by a direwolf!"

It seems.... There's something I don't know

"The whole Qing warrior is being deployed to the matter! Things will be back to normal soon so please come back quietly!"

Hmm, so that tool also controlled monsters to mess with Qing huh? We'll figure this out as soon as we can, but... It seems like it will be difficult because the culprit did not leave a trace

"Oh! Miss Ryuu!"

Hm? Wah there's Li there

He ran up to me and was tired of it

"Miss Ryuu, where did you go that day? I never saw you again until now" asked Li

"I just want to relieve my curiosity, but what's really going on here?"

"Eh? How can you not know yet? Starting from that day until now, there were monster attacks all over the Qing region, people were tormented for these two weeks,"

So apparently, Qing became unstable due to the controlled monster attacks, then- eh? Li said for how long?

E-E-Eh?! I heard it wrong, right?! He didn't say two weeks ago, did he?!

"A-Anu... How long ago did you say?"

"Hmm? Two weeks, where were you at that time Miss?"

Eh?!! So it's been really two weeks?!!

It's true I don't know the time down there but two weeks?!!

.

Huh.... Two weeks wasted... I was quick to get out...

"Come on, don't be so moody, lady, try to eat this with me" she gave me a cup with something

"Bright.... What'sthis?"

"It's a snack from the Southern Continent, but I think it's just ice from the mountains and plus plum sauce, I don't know what it tastes like..."

It's shaved ice....

The taste is certainly cold, then sour and sweet that comes from plum sauce also makes it a snack that deserves the interest of the citizens of the Southern Continent, because there must be hotter than any human territory

"Whoah! I've only ever tasted this kind of food!" Li seemed enthusiastic next to me

"Yes... I think Ruby should also popularize this for snacks in the summer..."

"Come, lady, why do you still sound so weak?"

Did ya? Well... I think it's because I'm sleep deprived... It's been two weeks...

"Hm... Tell you what, you are resting in the inn today, tomorrow we will head to my family's residence" Li said

"Yes! Didn't you want to learn about which pill?"

"I'm looking forward to it" I grabbed Li's hand making him surprised

I hope the time I spend here becomes more useful, ugh! I want to go back to help the war against Ming, but if it's been two weeks, Ruby should have won

Just waiting for Kyouka...

.

The city is becoming more crowded than before, but the atmosphere of the streets even seem more lonely even though many people are lying on the outskirts of the road. You see, almost no one sells at all, whether they go to their carts and shops, this city becomes like a city affected by a disease outbreak

Well that is very likely to happen too, if one person starts to get infected then the whole city will collapse, destroying the stability of this country that is already on the edge of this horn.

It's still late afternoon, I used to want to go for a walk while looking for dinner but I didn't find anything along the big road that leads to this academy, I also barely found an inn that was not yet full

Lucky there is, but yeah... This was a cleaned horse stable, the mattress was made of straw which was only covered with cloth on the top. Just like this the price is exorbitant...

That means the demand is very large, no wonder because this city is a refugee destination anyway, but ten gold for last night?! In this stables?!

Huh.... Go to sleep and forget about it...

.

Huah! Good morning

On this beautiful day, I will learn which pill-making technique, I really look forward to it so let's get rid of the depression earlier. Yep! On this beautiful day

"Don't joke!"

Huh uh?

The voice came from out there, and since this was just a horse stable so the sound from outside could be heard clearly.

Morning fights, huh? This city became a chaotic city so it was a natural thing, maybe....?

Shit, I'm so hungry because yesterday ended up sleeping without eating anything other than the shaved ice Li gave me, but do I have a choice? No one was selling that afternoon

I hope someone sells breakfast this morning...

I went out and found that the commotion was still going on, not like I was avoiding it anyway, I was not involved in it at all. I'm just one of the tens of thousands of people in this town who don't know anything about it

Oh look at that! Isn't that the soup tent? Well, seeing the fire burning under the furnace means it's still warm

Subconsciously my body was drawn to the front of the furnace, I was very hungry and the smell of the soup was tasteless but even with just a few spices it would arouse the appetite of a hungry person

"Please one bowl of large portions" I said

"Come here soon!" said the spirit seller

I took one gold coin in my pocket, even though it was only 40 silver which was already very expensive for this size of soup, but I did not ask for the change

I rarely used the money because it was too heavy, so it was better to get rid of it, and the most effective way was to buy food or rent lodging because it did not add to my innate burden

"Why, what's the fight about?" Ask my fellow soup buyers there

"I heard that because of a bowl of wheat porridge, there was once a grain porridge seller and when only a bowl was left, they both fought for it" he explained

"What is true? Isn't there still this soup? There are also other food vendors, too,"

"Stop that..."

The humans... Sometimes they are stupid for their high ego

Continue to eat...

Hmm, what should I tell Kyouka? Which pill discovery was it or the Devil problem first? But normally he would still be angry because I left suddenly, especially when I needed such a battle that he had said before

Argha! I also want to fight against Ming! I want to see the collapse of that nation and the fluttering of Ruby flags over Chengdu city, damn it... If only I had something to know the time

I hope Maou can make a clock...

"Oh! Miss Ryuu!"

How did he find me here? I just don't know if I'm gonna stay in this stall

He came up to me running and again exhausted in front of me.

"I'm guessing you're here because this morning it's a culinary street" he said

I don't even know about it... But if bland soup is the culinary he means, then I don't know... It should be that the people of this Continent have high taste with easy access to spices, but if the food is as bland as the ones in the Western Continent then....

Maybe because of the chaos? Again the quality of life is lowered

Ah about that I became curious about how the lives of the nobles?

"Where did you sleep last night Li?" Much

"In the academy, although it was closed until the next announcement but now it became a spacious residence so that it could accommodate hundreds of people,"

Apparently the students can stay there, as well as the professors.

"Hey Li.... Looks like, your country's situation is very chaotic huh? Usually at times like this will appear a snake or mouse that is willing to eat you whatever your status before,"

"Eh? I-yes... But... Where will this talk lead, Miss Ryuu?"

"Hehe, what do you mean? It's just a little pleasantry,"
