Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 327

Running the Romance Fantasy with Baby’s Cash (Side Story) Episode 6

Side Story 6

This is why habits are so scary.

My face flushed with a sudden wave of embarrassment.

I was wondering how to handle this situation.

“Grandma? …So, she really is an old hag.”

“What?”

“Trying to seduce people while maintaining a young and beautiful appearance. Or, killing people and bathing in their blood to maintain that false appearance.”

No, that’s not it.

I’m not a pervert, why would I want to bathe in blood so disgustingly…

“How many people do you have to kill to maintain such an appearance?”

“……”

“Killing just a few wouldn’t be enough to look normally young. But to have such a bewitching appearance that captivates people.”

The man gritted his teeth and glared at me with murderous eyes.

He looked like he was staring at the enemy of humanity who had killed thousands of children.

“Milady, that man is dangerous. Stay behind me.”

Azl stood in front of me protectively, with a tense expression.

The man’s gaze turned to Azl.

“Ha, and she even carries around a water-attribute monster.”

This time, I couldn’t hold back.

Even if he’s a scarred kitten who has experienced dozens of regressions and destructions!

“What do you mean monster! How can you say such harsh things to Azl?!”

“Ah, Milady?”

I shoved Azl’s face forward.

“Look at this face! Look at this pure, innocent, and immaculate face!!”

“Milady…”

“How can you call him a monster when you have this beauty right in front of you?! Our Azl, you know, has the blood of a water fairy, like a welcome rain in this barren world—”

“There’s nothing more amateurish than judging by appearance.”

The man coldly cut off my passionate speech.

“I’m not stupid enough to be deceived by a beautiful appearance and die like a dog.”

Why are you saying that while looking at me…

Ugh, so fierce, so fierce.

I sighed deeply.

Azl’s beauty didn’t work.

I should try persuasion as a second option.

“Think about it. If we were monsters, we would have just wiped you out, why would we have saved you with CPR [cardiopulmonary resuscitation]?”

“CPR… what? You did… that to me?!”

The man showed a sign of embarrassment for the first time.

Then, the old man-like man looked his age.

My age.

“Yes, we did. CPR.”

The man’s dark eyes widened in shock.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t CPR.

Azl induced breathing while removing the water from his lungs.

‘But if I say we used magic here, he might suspect it’s monster magic again.’

I need to be confident in times like this.

I put my hand on my hip and raised my chin.

“We saved you, and what? Monster? Bathing in blood?”

“……”

“Tsk, tsk, you’re the type to ask for the bundle [more than what you deserve] after being rescued from the water!”

“It would be better to ask for the bundle. Milady saved you, but you’re trying to attack her instead.”

Azl said, glaring at the man.

For Azl to say this, he must be very angry.

“…You really did… save me?”

“If it weren’t for Milady, you would already be dead.”

“…I…”

“Okay!”

I cut off the man’s words for a quick progress.

What’s important now is to complete the quest quickly and get the cash.

“What’s your name?”

I asked, approaching the man.

He doesn’t seem like he’s going to attack me anymore.

“…Why do you want to know my name?”

“Why? Just to call you—”

“Are you planning to cast a curse through my name? Or do you need to know my name to control my mind?”

“What?”

“I don’t trust you.”

Watching the man barking fiercely, I felt a surge of annoyance.

‘Sid was at least young back then. You’re all grown up!’

Actually, I know this man’s name.

I saw the name on his ID.

‘But I thought it was polite to tell each other’s names directly, so I asked.’

Hmph!

I pouted my lips.

“Then don’t tell me! I’ll just call you Butterfly!”

“What—”

“Butterfly, I’m Ruatisha. Ruatisha Paeraton.”

I smiled, extending my hand to the dimension traveler—Butterfly.

“Welcome to our world.”

* * *

Butterfly was suspicious, but eventually boarded the ship with us.

He must have judged that it was better than staying in the open sea with only a low mound of soil that was embarrassing to call an island.

Butterfly kept his fur bristled with a wary face.

But he didn’t resist much.

He seemed to have the common sense that he shouldn’t cause a fuss on the ship.

I asked Azl to treat Butterfly.

Because water has healing power.

“It won’t be as good as a proper doctor’s treatment, though.”

Azl answered, but he healed the man according to my request.

“Rescue, healing, and navigation! Our Blue is so capable!”

“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have found that man, Tweet!”

Hermes Tweet chimed in, not wanting to be outdone, as I praised Azl.

“Yes, yes. Ellie is great too.”

“Tweet!”

Hermes Tweet puffed out his chest proudly and pecked at a cookie.

I turned my head, looking at the peaceful scene.

The man was lost in a deep sleep as if he had never been wary.

Well, he had just survived a near-death experience.

It would have been strange if he had been as energetic as before.

The sleeping man’s face looked tired and exhausted.

Not only the wound on his side but also his whole body was full of big and small wounds.

‘…He must have gone through so much to be so defensive.’

Thinking about it, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

I sighed softly and checked the quest I had received earlier.

It was a new quest received at the same time as the quest completion.

〈I Can’t Just Stand By!(2)〉

Dear Reader!

You have finally completed the quest.

Um… I have a lot to say, but whatever.

Still, it’s good that you completed it on time.

You would never have completed it if you had become a corpse.

‘This guy keeps nagging me?’

This pitiful and unfortunate man is not an ordinary person.

A regressor from a destroyed world!

The unfortunate protagonist who regressed dozens of times and still failed to save the world.

As a romance fantasy reader, I can’t just leave this wounded wild animal alone, can I?

I was dumbfounded.

He was just shouting to kill the young Sid when he was wounded, but now he’s like this.

He’s a bit rude because he’s full of anger, but he wasn’t originally like that.

His mentality is shattered right now, so his mental strength is like a sunfish…

It’s going to take a lot of work and be annoying…

But I’m not the one taking care of this guy.

It’s your job, Reader, so I don’t care lol

‘This bastard…’

As a merciful and kind romance fantasy reader, please take good care of this wounded lamb.

Feed him, clothe him, and put him to sleep.

-Condition: Raising a Sunfish

-Reward: Cash reward upon Sunfish’s growth! Linked quest 〈???〉 in progress

‘…It’s still weird.’

I accepted the quest as soon as it came because I wanted to get cash, but something felt off.

First of all, the fact that the quest came at all is strange.

‘Is saving this man so important that he sent a quest that he hadn’t sent for a while?’

The quests gradually stopped coming before I defeated Kiyas Edel.

At that time, the demon guy told me that I didn’t need quests, saying this.

“Now, without anyone needing to lead you, the path you take will become a holy war.”

“You are the contractor and agent of Aptanes, and the pioneer who can walk the limits of causality.”

So after defeating Kiyas Edel.

Even if the demon guy’s quests didn’t come at all, I was sad, but I thought that was how it was.

That it was natural.

But suddenly a quest comes and tells me to take good care of this man.

‘Suspicious!’

Above all—

‘For a guy who only looks for cider [something refreshing] to give a quest to take care of a rude guy, that’s really suspicious.’

Basically, if anyone was rude to me, the demon guy would shout ‘Down with sweet potatoes!’

Demanding a refreshing cider like an awl right away.

‘And the reward is also unique.’

Cash reward upon Sunfish’s growth.

Giving cash 뽑기권 [lottery ticket] if you take good care of him has been the pattern so far.

‘What are you thinking?’

Even if I narrowed my eyes and stared at the quest window, the answer didn’t come out.

As always, the demon guy didn’t send a message and remained silent in times like this.

‘…Well, yeah. It’s not a bad thing to rescue a lost kitten who suddenly fell into a strange world.’

I don’t know what kind of destruction that man went through.

However, experiencing any kind of destruction directly is….

Something I can’t even imagine.

‘Even if it’s not a quest, I can’t just leave a kid like this alone!’

It’s not like I’m trying to be nice just because of the cash.

Really.

“…What.”

The man opened his eyes wide as soon as I got close.

He must have been unable to sleep properly and was on edge.

“Sleep a little more. Why did you wake up when you’re sick, Butterfly.”

“…Can you stop calling me Butterfly?”

“Then tell me your name.”

“Why do you want to know my name so much?”

“Well, it’s obvious, isn’t it?”

I tilted my head.

“Knowing each other’s names, calling and being called by name is really wonderful.”

“You think that’s wonderful?”

“Yes!”

I could say that with confidence.

I nodded my head greatly and smiled brightly.

Butterfly stared at me with eyes that I couldn’t understand what he was thinking.

But it was a little different from the eyes full of wariness and murderous intent from before.

‘Oh, is the kitten starting to open up?’

Churu [a popular cat treat] is the answer in times like this.

But I don’t even have a can of tuna right now.

“Ah, look over there!”

Just in time, a dolphin jumped up with a splash of water.

The waves breaking on the gunwale.

Sparkling water scales.

Between them, a sea fairy swam like dancing with the dolphin.

Wow, I exclaimed, but the reaction next to me was unusual.

A tremendous murderous intent began to emanate.

When I turned to the side, Butterfly was gritting his teeth, taking an attack stance.

“Damn it, a monster attack.”

“Wait! Calm down! You’re a patient! If your wound gets worse—”

“You, did you lure me to a place with monsters!”

“Not a monster. They’re sea fairies.”

I grabbed Butterfly’s hand tightly, worried that he might attack the sea fairies.

“…!”

Butterfly flinched as if he had been burned and looked at me.

‘I didn’t grab it that hard, did he have a wound on his hand too?’

I slightly loosened the grip of my hand but didn’t let go of Butterfly’s hand.

It would be a real disaster if he attacked the sea fairies here.

“Look, the sea fairies aren’t attacking us either. They’re just playing.”

“….”

“So why don’t you put away the murderous intent? The dolphins and sea fairies were surprised. It’s a good thing Azl is here, or it would have been a disaster.”

“….”

Butterfly didn’t even respond to my words.

Still, he quietly put away the threatening murderous intent that had been rising sharply.

I patted Butterfly as a sign of doing well and said.

“Look, isn’t it pretty?”

At my words, Butterfly’s gaze turned to the sea.

The sight of dolphins splashing on the surface of the sea and sea fairies was just peaceful.

“Seeing a sea fairy in person is a really rare experience. Even just witnessing a shadow from afar is said to be a lifelong blessing.”

“….”

“And they say that seeing a dolphin brings good luck, right?”

“….”

“Good things will be full in the future.”

Butterfly’s gaze turned to me again.

I smiled.

Is it my imagination?

The man’s black eyes that were looking at me seemed to tremble.

I said again with emphasis.

“Only good things will happen in the future, Butterfly.”

“…Damn it, stop with the Butterfly thing.”

Butterfly frowned and turned his head away from me.

Even shaking off the hand he was holding.

“If you don’t like being called Butterfly, tell me your name.”

“I don’t trust you.”

‘…Should I just! Wash him and abandon him [a Korean slang for giving up on someone]!’

It was then.

With a ding, a notification window popped up.

〈Butterfly〉’s trust has increased.

1000 cash reward!

What?

I read the letters in disbelief, and read them again.

But nothing changed.

1000 cash reward!

‘…Abandonment, did I just think that?’

I turned to Butterfly with sparkling eyes.

Butterfly is not just a kitten, but a lucky kitten!

“What, what is it? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Let’s get along well, Butterfly!”

I grabbed Butterfly’s hand.

Whether the quest is suspicious or not, I know the reason for your existence.

You are a blessing in yourself.

My lovely cash machine!!

* * *

Sidrian smiled.

His eyes narrowed and his lips curved up beautifully, it was truly a perfect smile that evoked admiration.

“So, you just picked it up on the way?”

“Yes.”

Ruatisha nodded with a clear face.

Instead of saying anything to her, Sidrian carefully examined what Ruatisha had picked up.

“…Black hair?”

He had bad memories of black hair.
