Chapter 69

“That’s the grain warehouse.”

Norton pointed arrogantly at the largest red roof in the village.

“Only a few people can enter there, and I’m one of them. Want to go see?”

“Not really….”

As Dana showed a lukewarm reaction, this time he pointed to a black roof.

“That’s the armory, and that place is really hard to get into. How about it? Want to go see some weapons? Have you ever seen gunpowder?”

“I’d rather not go there.”

Dana pointed with her finger at that distant place, the towering mountain.

“I’d like to go see that mountain over there.”

“Huh? The mountain?”

“Yes. Do we have to walk a lot?”

“No, it’s not that far. But it’s not that close either.”

A fishy smile formed on Norton’s face.

“Night Mountain, huh. That sounds good.”

“….”

He was clearly full of impure thoughts.

However, Dana wasn’t too worried. Karl Windsor would obviously come at the right time anyway.

‘Well, I have a gun under my skirt too.’

If push comes to shove, I’ll just shoot him.

* * *

It was as expected.

‘It’s really here.’

Dana saw that there was a huge cave in the mountain.

‘As I thought, it was here.’

Dana trembled in front of the cave.

This was the first time she had actually seen it.

Last time, when purifying Kaltusa’s Corrupted Land, she had only read memories about this cave.

This cave is….

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going to take it off?”

“….”

Dana slowly turned around. Then she froze.

“Hurry up and take it off, we don’t have time.”

There was a naked man there. The white cloth that had fallen to his feet looked like shed skin.

“What are you doing right now?”

Dana backed into the cave while frowning.

She thought he might do something bad, but she never expected him to take off his clothes so quickly!

“You want to do it in the cave? You’re incredibly bold.”

“When did I ever say such a thing?”

“Why? Wasn’t that what you meant when you said let’s go to the mountain? What else would a man and woman do on a mountain at night like this?”

“….”

What kind of family education would one need to develop such a terrible way of thinking? A question she wasn’t even curious about arose.

‘I’m glad I brought the gun.’

Dana fidgeted with her hands. Where should she shoot him? Starting with his toes? Or his vital parts first?

“Hurry up and take it off.”

Norton commanded while breathing heavily.

“Don’t think about backing out now. Or should I take it off for you?”

I should just shoot his vital parts first. That was the moment she decided.

“Dana!”

Nice timing. Dana smiled brightly.

As expected, you came right on time, Karl Windsor!

“Dana, what are you doing there….”

Karl’s voice stopped abruptly.

On this particularly bright moonlit night, he saw the clearly exposed naked man.

Norton muttered in a dismayed voice.

“Ah shit, your husband’s here.”

Karl Windsor froze in place like someone struck by lightning. He seemed unable to understand this situation.

However, he soon moved creakily and approached them.

“Let’s, let’s have fun next time, miss.”

Norton quickly picked up his clothes to put them on and tried to hurriedly leave the scene, but.

“Argh!”

Karl firmly grabbed Norton’s shoulder as he passed by. Then he asked with a calm expression.

“Dana?”

“Ack! Ack! Let go of this!”

“Is this situation happening with your consent, or is it happening under this guy’s coercion?”

“Ahhhhh! Let go! It hurts!”

Karl naturally seemed to think it was the latter. However.

“Let him go.”

Dana said indifferently.

“Let him go.”

“…What?”

“I said let that person go.”

Right now, there’s no time to deal with that small fry. There was something more urgent in this cave.

“Quickly.”

Karl’s face became dazed as if he had been slapped.

Did the strength leave his grip? Norton quickly slipped away like an eel.

“What kind of crazy bastard is this!”

Tears filled Norton’s eyes.

“Hey! Your wife brought me to this place! Why are you going crazy on an innocent person!”

“….”

“Ah, damn it. What rotten luck!”

Norton spat and quickly left the scene.

Even until he disappeared, Karl remained dazed.

After a moment, he extended his hand.

“…Let’s go back for now. Dana. Come here.”

However, instead of approaching him, Dana leaned her back against the cave wall.

“I don’t want to.”

“Huh?”

“I said I don’t want to. What if you lock me in the mill again?”

Ah.

At those words, Karl finally realized the cause of Dana’s coldness.

“That was… I’m sorry. I did that because I was afraid you wouldn’t listen to me and would go out. Like now.”

“….”

“Oh dear, I should have had a lock.”

How absurd. Is that what someone who’s supposedly sorry should be saying?

Though she thought this, instead of arguing, she waited for him. She went deeper into the cave as if luring him in.

Did he think she was avoiding him? Karl pleaded as if his heart was burning with anxiety.

“Dana, just listen to what I have to say first. Okay? It’s all my fault.”

Step by step, he drew closer.

And finally.

“Dana?”

Finally, he entered the cave.

Dana waited for his reaction with an excited, pounding heart.

Now, look. Karl Windsor. See what’s in this cave!

However.

“Dana? Why are you acting like this?”

Karl looked bewildered. No, he seemed confused. There was no amazement in his expression.

‘Why isn’t he surprised?’

Can’t he see this starlight that fills this cave right now?

A mineral more precious than gold and rarer than diamonds, Retilan.

That Retilan was sparkling like the Milky Way in this cave!

‘There are Retilan deposits here.’

In other words, just seeing this sight was no different from discovering an enormous mountain of gold.

Karl had struck the jackpot he was so crazy about!

“Dana. Let’s go out first. Let’s go out and talk.”

Why won’t you look!

Karl strangely looked at nothing but her face.

“W-wait!”

Karl grabbed her hand.

“Wait a moment!”

“I’m scared snakes might come out. Let’s hurry and leave. Okay?”

For a moment, Dana wanted to grab his hair and turn his head toward the cave wall.

Look at that, you fool! Look at the wall inside that cave. It’s sparkling!

“I’m so scared of snakes. Do you know how venomous mountain snakes are?”

In the end, Dana decided to put on a passionate performance for this pathetic idiot.

“What is this, Uncle?”

“Huh? Did a snake come out? Where, where?”

“No, this!”

Dana knocked on the cave wall.

“Something’s sparkling!”

“…?”

Only then did Karl look into the cave.

How many seconds passed like that?

“Th-this is….”

His lips trembled.

“This looks like Retilan, doesn’t it?”

That’s right! Now you finally noticed!

Karl examined the Retilan with sparkling eyes.

“My goodness. Retilan. To think there’s a Retilan mine in the Empire, this is an incredible discovery.”

Yes, you scatterbrain.

Dana wanted to let out a sigh of relief. Finally, this blockhead had discovered the Retilan!

‘Good. Now he’ll be frantically looking around.’

She thought he would now get excited and begin exploring the cave in earnest.

However.

“Well then, shall we go?”

“….”

Huh?

Dana was flustered.
