Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 21
—————————————
[ Big! ]
About an hour later, we came out of the cave.
“Huh~”
The heavy feeling of the bag on my back put me in a good mood and I hummed.
A secret hideout for a criminal organization.
The contents of the safe did not disappoint my expectations.
No, on the contrary, it exceeded my expectations.
A bundle of cash or a gold bar is not important.
Some of the things taken from the safe had value beyond imagination depending on how they were used.
“Hehe. “I never thought something like that would exist.”
As I was grinning helplessly earlier, the little boy next to me glanced at me as if he was seeing me strange.
“mister. “Are you hungry?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Aren’t you stupid because you’re hungry?”
This guy seems to think that I lost my mind because I was hungry.
Really, I think all people are like shit.
“Tsk tsk.”
When I looked at him with pitiful eyes, the little boy must have understood something else and pulled the ice cream he was eating into his arms.
“This is not possible!”
It was the Bingo Together Vanilla flavor ice cream that was found in the refrigerator at the drug factory.
He kept whining that he was hungry, so I gave him a bite, and from that moment on, he became a prisoner of ice cream.
Suddenly, I felt like making trouble for the little boy.
“Can you give me just one bite of that?”
As I stared, the little boy looked back and forth between me and the ice cream container with a serious look on his face.
“…I want to eat?”
I kept staring at the little boy’s distressed face because it was funny.
“Just a bite.”
“ha.”
In the end, the little boy sighed as if he had no choice, put some ice cream on a plastic spoon and handed it to me.
“Is this enough?”
He held it out as if he was generous, but it seemed like the flea’s liver was bigger than that.
I sighed and put the spoon into the little boy’s mouth.
“It’s okay, just eat as much as you can.”
“Huh! “Mashinuuh-!”
The little boy trembled with happiness.
Then the cave began to collapse behind us.
Kwaaang-!
Inside the cave, the Red Snakes had a bomb prepared to destroy evidence just in case, and they set it on a timer before coming out.
Explosions followed in succession.
―Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The cave that was once a secret hideout for a criminal organization collapsed.
What happened to all the people inside?
I looked back and said.
“Number starts in front of the ruler.”
The men who were following us in a tight line behind us started shouting out numbers.
“one!”
“two!”
“three!”
“four!”
“All of them…!”
A total of thirty-five.
A few surviving members of the Red Snake organization and the rest were all workers who made drugs.
“Superman. We really don’t know anything…”
“They did it all because they forced us to do it!”
“Sobbing. “I really couldn’t help it!”
People who wore white sanitary suits and masks and were called ants by managers and military base commanders and who made drugs.
They were people who had heard that a lot of money would be given, applied without knowing what was going on, and then were brought here.
They begged me, but I snorted.
“So you are not guilty? “If you were forced to do it because you were told to do it, you would be innocent even if you killed someone, right?”
“…….”
They fell silent at my sarcasm.
Of course, there is a difference between a crime committed out of one’s own will and a crime committed out of necessity to survive.
Therefore, I had no intention of killing them like criminal gang members.
But I have no intention of letting you go quietly.
I took the prisoners inside the restricted area, near the barbed wire fence where the military was stationed.
“no. 1. “You take this.”
Attendant number 1 was asked to raise a white flag, signifying surrender. It was roughly made in a cave.
“You guys hold this.”
Numbers 2 to 5 were asked to hold evidence taken from the drug factory.
Drugs, some documents, etc. found in a gun safe, excluding some bullets.
“Number 6. “You delivered my letter well.”
Number 6 was a worker at a drug factory, and on the back of his white sanitary uniform was a letter written by me.
The content was a short summary of the situation, but of course it was edited appropriately.
My finger pointed to the border post, which was now quite close.
“Do you see the light over there? “Go over there and turn yourself in.”
“…….”
Despite my words, the prisoners couldn’t easily take their steps and hesitated.
It was because everyone knew clearly what would happen if they turned themselves in.
If an unauthorized civilian is caught entering a restricted area, he or she will be punished severely.
In addition to this, there is also illegal drug production involving criminal organizations.
If you are arrested, you will not be punished with any punishment.
“why? “You don’t want to go?”
“That…”
I pulled out my sword at the hesitating guys.
Slurp.
A blade that sparkles black and white in the moonlight.
I licked the blade with my tongue and spoke in a sad voice.
“But wouldn’t it be better to go to Kambang than to eat sashimi alive here?”
“Hey!”
The prisoners, whose faces turned white at my words, began running towards the iron fence.
“kid. “You are going to the tent with Sirutdeok.”
After saying that to Lily, I followed them and swung my sword loudly.
“Go straight! “Anyone who goes the other way will fall into my hands!”
After a while, there was chaos at the iron fence.
There are no cases where dozens of unannounced people flock to the barbed wire fence at night like this.
Even the conditions of those who came were not very good.
“Help me! Help me!”
“A monster monster is chasing me!”
Lights poured down from above the guard post and dozens of guns were pointed.
[stop-!! Reveal your identity and purpose! If you come any closer, I will fire!]
Attendee number 1 shouted, waving the white flag vigorously.
“We have come to surrender! Please save me! Sobbing!”
After that, the people who followed one after another began to beg with tears in their eyes.
“Please save us!”
“Please open the door! “The crazy guy is chasing me!”
I used [Stealth] and followed them, then clicked my tongue when I saw the scene.
Tsk. Aren’t they a bit over-the-top?
The military executive in charge of the barbed wire fence looked embarrassed.
“What kind of fuss is this?! “Speak one by one!”
After a while, the executive found number 6 among the crowd of people and his expression became serious after reading my letter written on his back.
“what? “A drug factory?”
I checked that far and quietly turned around.
I had no intention of hiding my identity from them.
If that had been the case, he would have been masked from the moment he entered the cave, or he would have killed them all.
What I wanted was quite the opposite.
Those guys saw us and will go to the police and make a statement, so word will spread soon.
-A handsome, superhuman young man with a sense of justice and a red-haired kid following him-
Wouldn’t it spread to that extent?
Anyway, if such a mysterious rumor gets around, the police will be looking for me and it won’t take long for them to find out who I am.
Then sooner or later he will call me.
Commissioner Chung Eui-ryong of the National Police Agency.
A man who likes humble superhumans with a sense of justice who do not put their merits in front of others.
He was one of the people included in the [list of people you must become friends with] that I wrote.
So I targeted his taste.
Maybe we’ll see each other soon.
As I was slowly returning to the tent, I thought of the little boy who must have been sullen and hungry by now.
I also happen to be quite hungry.
“…I guess I’ll go grocery shopping.”
Slurp.
I used [Stealth] and climbed over the iron fence.
When I first crossed this place, I was full of luggage and didn’t have enough mana to hide, but now it was just a slightly high wall.

When I returned to the tent, an amazing scene unfolded.
The little boy was getting angry with the big guy on his knees and putting his hands on his waist.
“I’m hungry, so make me some food!”
“I… I don’t understand what you’re saying…”
The man, who had been blinking at the incomprehensible Gaia language, looked at me and jumped up from his seat.
“Are you here, brother?”
“okay. Sirutdeok.”
The man’s name is Sirutdeok.
His real name may have been different, but I wasn’t that curious about it, and anyway, he was the guy who told me the location of the safe.
Unlike the others, this guy actually saw me crack the safe.
So, at first, I thought I would just handle it, but since my strength seemed pretty good and I had a lot of luggage to bring here, I decided to use him as a servant for a while.
Of course, Geumje walked.
Unless it was released, this guy couldn’t even dream of escaping from here.
“I’m going to eat it!”
Lily ran towards me.
To be exact, the plastic bags in both my hands were the target.
The little boy sniffed into the plastic bag.
However, perhaps because it did not smell as delicious as expected, his expression quickly became worse.
“…Anything to eat?”
“huh? “What are you going to eat?”
When I asked him what he meant, the little boy shouted with a betrayed look on his face.
“Something as delicious as chicken! “You promised!”
“Oh right. “I forgot, what should I do?”
dump.
The little boy sitting on the floor muttered like an old woman who lived her whole life.
“As expected… there’s never been anything as delicious as chicken in the world… I’ll never trust you again…”
I giggled and called Sirutdeok.
“hey. Sirutdeok.”
“yes! older brother!”
“Go over there and get the grill. Grill the meat.”
“yes!”
Despite his large size, Shirutteok was quite quick-witted.
He took the plastic bag from me, took out some pork belly, ssam vegetables, and soju and set them up quickly.
Then he rolled up his sleeves and offered to grill meat.
“I’ll bake it, bro!”
“Are you confident you can cook it deliciously?”
Sirutdeok nodded his head cheerfully.
“Trust me, brother! Even though you can see this, I worked in the kitchen before I came here!”
Sirutdeok’s boast was true.
The meat on the grill is so delicious! It started to cook and make a sound.
Lily, who had been revived by that pungent sound and smell, gulped her saliva.
“It’s ready, so enjoy it, brother!”
I knocked away Lily’s chopsticks as she tried to eat the meat.
“why?!”
“Look Carefully. “This is how you eat it.”
Lettuce and perilla leaves. Two roasted garlic cloves and plenty of ssamjang.
Here are two pieces of meat marinated in oil.
“Is that a bit much?”
“Not much!!”
Lily quickly put the wrap I wrapped into her mouth.
“…I bought that for myself to eat.”
After a while, Lily screamed with an incredulous look on her face.
My cheeks were so puffy that they felt like they were about to explode.
“Marsit-uh!! Don’t even try this! Is this Cheongugi!?”
“It’s so spicy, so eat it all and tell me.”
I chuckled, opened a bottle of soju, and poured it into a glass.
Grilling pork belly outdoors on a summer night with a glass of soju.
“Kuh-!”
Happiness did not lie elsewhere.
