Future Knight [EN]: Chapter 120

“You’ve got more courage than you look.”

Britina complimented Loki’s courage for standing up to fifteen burly men, each a head taller than him, without showing any fear.

“Yeah, I’m brave.”

“No matter how brave you are, it’s dangerous for a pretty thing like you to be drinking alone late at night in a rough place like this. You should go back to your lodgings.”

Britina’s words were filled with envy rather than concern.

Loki shook his head at her and said,

“No, it’s okay. They’re not even worth a handful.”

Loki raised his slender fist and said innocently, causing Britina to smile involuntarily.

“Hahaha! Okay, I get it. I’ll acknowledge it.”

It had been a while since she had laughed like this.

She had been living without laughter for so long.

Britina took Loki’s slender hand with her large hand and shook it up and down as if shaking hands.

Her hand was many times larger than Loki’s, but it was a very delicate hand.

“Still, it’s dangerous, so go back early. I’ll take you.”

Britina kindly urged Loki, but Loki sat back in his seat and said,

“No, it’s okay. I told my uncle I’d be out late today. I can eat and drink as much as I want tonight.”

“Your name is Loki?”

“Yeah.”

A girl named Loki, Britina introduced herself to Loki, puzzled.

“I’m Britina. I’m from the Silverline Republic.”

“I’m Loki, from the Montana Mountains.”

“Montana Mountains? You lived in that rough place?”

“Yeah.”

Britina had guessed that Loki was from a big city based on his appearance, but when Loki said he lived in the Montana Mountains, she felt a strange sense of kinship.

Because she was also from a rural area in the Mateus Mountains, known as the spine of the continent.

“Really? What did you do there?”

“Huh? I hunted and farmed.”

“You?”

“Yeah.”

She looked at Loki’s slender arms and fair skin.

It was definitely not the arm of someone who had done rough work.

“Your parents?”

“No, I lived alone.”

“What, what? Alone?”

The Montana Mountains, which are said to be on par with the Mateus Mountains, the most rugged mountain range in the entire continent.

Britina couldn’t believe Loki’s words that he had lived alone in such a harsh place, hunting and farming.

Because it was a remote area where human influence was difficult to reach, and such places were teeming with monsters that were nothing but trials for humans.

“Then what did you hunt?”

“Well, I often hunted Asnaks for their fur, and sometimes I ate trolls and gnolls, and my staple food was wild boar.”

“……”

Britina didn’t believe Loki’s words, who was speaking innocently.

Even wild boars are threatening animals to humans.

But trolls that are 3 meters tall, gnolls that are 2 meters tall, and the terrifying monster Asnak…….

If Asnak was a rabbit-like monster that a woman could catch alone, would its skin be the highest price on the continent?

Britina dismissed Loki as just a dreamy boy.

“So, Loki, will you go back there after the war is over?”

“No, I’ve decided to live in the human world now, so I’m going to the Visman Empire with my uncle. My father was a duke there.”

“……”

Britina hugged Loki silently and wiped away tears.

‘Poor thing, what kind of harsh trials have you suffered…….’

In her eyes, Loki was a young man from a noble family.

A pitiful boy who had lost his home and family in the war, been through who-knows-what, and had even gone a little crazy, eventually drifting here.

It was almost like an unscripted tragic opera.

Loki was embraced by a giant woman and nearly suffocated, so he hugged her back without knowing why.

But she was so big that Loki was barely clinging to one of her breasts.

Because she was incredibly busty.

Loki really liked her soft breasts.

Because the soft texture was very good.

“Okay, I understand, drink as much as you want tonight. I’ll be by your side.”

Britina wiped away her tears and sat in front of Loki.

And ordered her own.

“Hey, give me 30,000cc of beer and a whole wild boar barbecue.”

“30,000cc…….”

Here, besides Kang Chan, there was another person who drank 30,000cc of beer.

“I’ll pay for everything. Including what this kid ate before.”

The salary she received as a knight was considerable, so she had enough leeway.

However, the bar owner politely declined her offer.

“No. Don’t worry about the money and enjoy yourself. I already received the money.”

The bar owner seemed very happy that a huge female knight had joined Loki’s table.

Because it seemed that she could fully meet his expectations.

That is, the 1 gold drink price.

“Yes? When?”

The owner showed Loki’s 1 gold and said.

“He gave it to me in advance. Enjoy yourself.”

“……”

Britina looked at Loki with surprised eyes.

Drinking at such an insignificant street bar with 1 gold in advance, she seemed out of his mind.

“You have a lot of money?”

“Huh? Ah, do I have a lot of money? I don’t know. Is this a lot?”

Clatter…….

When Loki took out the nine gold coins in his pocket and placed them on the table, the eyes of the bar owner and Britina popped out.

Because the money he took out now was the equivalent of three months’ salary for Britina, a guard knight.

It was definitely not an amount that a child could carry around.

“You, you, where did you get all this money?”

“My uncle gave it to me.”

“U, uncle? Where is that uncle of yours?”

At the word uncle, Britina had a strange thought for a moment. Occasionally, young boys who sold their bodies called older men uncles.

“Headquarters.”

“Headquarters?”

At the word headquarters, Britina understood the situation and cautiously asked back.

That place, where the key figures leading the 1.5 million Allied forces gathered, was a group teeming with powerful people who could give him 10 gold for a night.

“Yeah, my uncle is there now.”

“What does he do there?”

“Commander-in-chief.”

“Pfft!”

Britina, who was drinking beer, spat the beer back into her glass.

“C, commander-in-chief?!”

The bar owner, who had already taken a seat next to Loki and Britina, was also surprised and asked back.

“Yeah.”

“By any chance, is his name Duke Sachsen?”

When Sachsen’s name, who had become his family, came up, Loki was very happy and answered in a loud voice.

“Yeah, that’s right! He’s my uncle.”

“……”

“……”

At that moment, the bar owner and Britina fell into serious thought.

They had inadvertently witnessed the dark connections of the powerful.

‘The commander-in-chief of the Allied forces has a financial relationship with this young child…….’

‘Giving a boy 10 gold for a night…….’

Duke Lumiel von Sachsen, who is revered as the best swordsman on the entire continent and is leading the Allied forces to victory, is soaring in power.

He unknowingly gave the citizens great disappointment.

He would be upset if he knew.

“S, shall we drink?”

“Cheers!”

The two drank without realizing how much time had passed, and Loki was also a little drunk and dizzy.

Britina also looked at Loki with a sad face, slightly drunk.

“I’m jealous…….”

“Of what?”

“Because you’re small, slim, and pretty.”

“Who?”

“You.”

“Me? Why are you jealous of that?”

“People like pretty and slim women like you.”

Loki, who was listening to the story, rang an alarm for Britina.

“I’m not a woman?”

“What?”

“I’m a man.”

“Don’t lie. I’ll punish you.”

“I’m serious, I’m a man.”

Just in case, Britina scanned Loki’s entire body.

As expected, except for the flat chest, there was nothing masculine about him from head to toe.

“No matter how I look at it, you don’t look like a man?”

“Why do people keep calling me a woman?”

That was something to ask Zikyon.

“Because you look like a woman, they call you a woman.”

“But I’m really a man! Do you want to touch it?”

“Puh!”

This time, the bar owner spat out the water he was drinking.

“Hey! Even so, how can you say such a thing in a place like this!”

“What’s wrong? I’m just checking. Touch it!”

“No! I can’t touch it.”

Britina thought that Loki’s attitude of not being embarrassed in front of others couldn’t hide his… situation.

“Then the owner can touch it instead.”

“Oh! C, customer!”

When Loki thrust his lower waist forward, the bar owner, who was in his 50s, blushed for a moment, embarrassed.

But his eyes looked like he was hesitating a little.

Britina thought it would be better for her to touch it rather than the lewd bar owner’s eyes.

“Okay, I’ll touch it.”

Britina’s huge fingers carefully caressed Loki’s place.

Meanwhile, a large crowd of people was watching them.

First of all, their appearance and actions were too noticeable.

Britina blushed to her neck, embarrassed by the eyes of others.

‘Ah…… How did I end up in such an unsightly state…… Huh? Oh? T, this is?’

But soon, when she touched something heavy under Loki’s waist that was different from her expectations, she was so surprised that she screamed.

“Kyaak! He’s really a man!”

She was a giant of 3 meters, but her heart was innocent and she didn’t know men, so she screamed and stepped back like a cat, and at that moment, the countless people who were watching him couldn’t believe it and whispered.

“What? That woman is a man?”

“No way!”

“Oh my god, what happened?”

“Too bad, too bad…… If he was born a woman, I would have taken him with me and lived with him…….”

“Crazy bastard.”

The bar owner was also surprised.

Until now, he thought he was a woman and wished he had a daughter like that, but when he realized that he was a man, he couldn’t believe it.

38. Dragon Meeting

Zikyon, who had returned to his lair, sent a magic communication [a form of telepathic messaging using magic] to Red Dragon R. Rekrashion, who was next in rank.

“What’s going on, Lord?”

“There is an urgent agenda to discuss. It is a serious matter that threatens the safety of the dragons. Summon all the dragons to my lair immediately.”

Zikyon’s appearance was completely different from when he was with Kang Chan.

“I understand, Lord. Please wait a moment.”

Less than a few minutes after the magic communication ended, 15 figures appeared in Zikyon’s huge lair, cutting through space.

“Did you call, Lord?”

The 15 dragons greeted Zikyon politely in turn. Among them were dragons in the form of orcs and dragons in the form of trolls.

“Where is B. Baronsia?”

“B. Baronsia is laying an egg and cannot attend the meeting.”

“Blessings have been bestowed upon the Blue Clan. A hatchling in 5,000 years.”

Dragons are incredibly strong beings, so hatchlings are very rare.

Whether it is all God’s providence or not, they are the strongest on the continent and have the worst reproductive power.

So, although dragons live for nearly 10,000 years, the number of individuals does not exceed 20 at most.
