Chapter 67

Three idiots came over.

Let's take a look at their occupations.

[Axeman Lv13]

[Swordsman Lv9]

[Cat Tamer Lv21]

Hey! One of them has a weird job!

What the heck, a Cat Tamer!

The bald guy at the front, with the most intimidating face, is a Cat Tamer? What the hell.

If an Axeman uses an axe to attack, does a Cat Tamer use cats to attack?

Like, does he unleash a storm of cat fur that makes people with cat allergies go crazy?

The occupations in this world still have a lot of depth to them.

"Hey, what are you up to?"

The Cat Tamer glared at me.

"It's nothing. But these two are my important friends. And this girl is a precious charge. So, I'm sorry, but please go somewhere else."

"Hey, what's a scrawny kid like you saying? You're their master, right? If you don't want to get hurt, order them to serve these three people. Then I'll let you off."

"Look, I really don't want any trouble. And just to let you know, if you keep bothering us, I won't hold back."

I must have been really tired.

When I thought about my words, I realized these guys, who probably thought they were stronger, would definitely attack me.

And just as I thought— they really did attack. So predictable.

So, I met the punch coming at me with my own.

I was sitting in a chair, and the guy was standing.

The outcome was obvious from the position and physique.

In fact, the fight was over in an instant.

But, of course, the result was the opposite of what everyone expected.

"Ughhhhhh!"

The Cat Tamer clutched his wrist and fell backward, writhing in pain.

One of his fingers must have been broken. I felt a dull sensation.

A thin book fell from his pocket.

"Shut up, I'll heal you, so be quiet."

I took his wrist and chanted, "Puchi Heal."

A faint light enveloped his fist,

"...It doesn't hurt... Thank you?"

Surprised and praising voices rose from the crowd, "For someone so young to use such martial arts and even have healing magic..."

I really didn't want to stand out, but I ended up acting like a protagonist who always stands out no matter where he goes.

Then, I picked up the fallen book... and was speechless.

"What the hell is this... Why is something like this even here?"

I took the book with trembling hands.

"Master, that's a church-prohibited item. Just having it is a sin."

"It's worth 10 silver coins on the black market... but it's probably best to turn it in to the church."

"Wh-what?"

The three women looked at the book I picked up and said.

Huh? This is a church-prohibited item?

Worth 10 silver coins on the black market?

No way.

The guys, thinking they were in trouble because the book was found, ran away.

Indeed, if it was known that they had this book, they would probably get a lot of unwanted attention from women.

But, this is... that, right?

It's a doujinshi, right? And it's the type that people under 18 shouldn't read.

Flipping through it, I saw the interactions of two-dimensional manga characters.

In one scene, a man says, "My Magnum is in top condition," and a girl is overjoyed.

...Who popularized the word "Magnum"... I was thinking, but this must be the source.

"Who drew this!?"

I quickly flipped to the last page.

Publisher: Comic Step

Author: Big Second

Yeah, clearly a pen name. But I'll remember it.

"Anyway, I'll dispose of this suspicious book—"

I put the doujinshi in my item bag,

"Why is an erotic doujinshi a church-prohibited item? The laws in this world are pretty strict."

I wonder if there's a law against child pornography?

Thinking about it,

"Well, the author initially drew entertaining picture stories that many people could enjoy... but eventually started drawing more adult-oriented books, and in the end, even drew scenes between goddesses... which led the church to confiscate all his books and declare them prohibited items."

"That's why they became prohibited items. Who would do such a stupid thing... Oh, it's Big Second."

There's no printing press or copier in this world. No screen tones either, and white paper is supposed to be precious.

What was he thinking, writing such a doujinshi?

"...Um... Master, is Big Second the name of the person who wrote this book?"

Haru asked, looking a bit surprised and disappointed.

"Yeah, it says so."

"That person... I think I know who it is."

"Huh?"

"Probably... Daisuke."

"Wh-what!? Daisuke? No way!"

That guy is a great benefactor to me!?

I can't believe he wrote such a ridiculous book.

"Well, after the Demon King was sealed, I acted with the heroes for a while, and Daisuke showed me a comic he was drawing... and the author's name was Big Second... the name he used when writing books."

...Daisuke... Big Second. How obvious.

But, who is this guy really?

He's my benefactor, one of the people who sealed the Demon King with the hero, and he writes doujinshi.

His character is all over the place.

"Such... that he would draw such a book..."

Marina whispered in despair.

Apparently, Marina was also helped by Daisuke's books.

Incidentally, there were no items left in the item bag, and the lamp that was supposed to be there was also missing.

Probably taken by the Japanese who came before us or by someone from this world who discovered the hidden room.

It's really pitiful.

"Is Daisuke not caught?"

"I haven't heard that the author was caught. If they arrested someone who helped defeat the Demon King with the hero, it would affect the church's credibility, so they probably handled it internally."

"I see... that's good."

I drank the tea that was brought and listened to the story.

Incidentally, more than half of his books are prohibited items, but he has a lot of hidden fans. They are called Sekarians.

The content is not just simple eroticism, but also yuri and BL, which makes his character even more confusing.

I thought it might be inappropriate to continue the doujinshi topic with girls, so,

"By the way, have you heard of the Cat Tamer job?"

I asked the three, recalling something.

But none of them knew about the Cat Tamer job.

Cat Tamer... what kind of skills does this job have?

I'm really curious.

There were figures walking west on the grass.

Furio, Sutty, and another person.

"Hehehehehe"

A short-haired girl with several sheets of paper, about the same age as Furio and Sutty, was looking at the two walking in front of her, smiling all the time.

"Sutty x Furio is good. Definitely Sutty x Furio, not Furio x Sutty."

The two walking in front shuddered at the girl's whisper. Of course, they didn't understand the meaning of the words, but instinctively realized it was the worst thing for them.

Her name is Milky.

One of the Sekarians deeply influenced by the doujinshi written by Daisuke, also known as Big Second.

More than half of Daisuke's doujinshi are prohibited items.

However, some are not prohibited, such as BL books.

The reason is that they don't feature goddesses and are in high demand among noble ladies.

Milky is not only a reader but also a creator of BL books.

Using engraving techniques, she mass-produces BL books that are usually impossible to mass-produce and sells them.

Even though they are inferior to Daisuke's books, they are very popular among the town's ladies and are actually a hidden specialty of Feruit.

Therefore, Milky has a lot of money.

"Why are you bringing Milky along?"

Furio complained to Sutty.

"I told you. We don't know what's in the dungeon, and she's the most powerful. She's not interested in money."

"That's true, but walking in front of her makes my back... shudder."

"Just bear with it."

Milky, a commoner who earned a lot of money, paid a lot of taxes, and raised her level.

The job she took was a Magic Scribe.

A Magic Scribe can draw magic arrays on paper with a pen, create special cards and contracts, and even magic books at higher levels.

However, the ink used by Magic Scribes can only be made by high-level pharmacists and is very rare.

Therefore, it's a job that's hard to grow without money.

"Hehehehehe"

"..."

Milky's imagination got the best of her, and the two shuddered at the same time.

At that moment,

"No way, we're surrounded!"

"Surrounded... No way, why are there Hobgoblins here?"

Goblins, called sub-humans, are ugly-faced demons.

Twenty slightly larger Hobgoblins suddenly appeared.

Furio and Sutty could handle a few, but twenty at once was very dangerous.

The twenty Hobgoblins gradually tightened their circle and attacked all at once.

Furio and Sutty, trembling with fear, hugged each other and simultaneously shouted,

"Milky! Help us!"

But,

"Clank! Thud! Hau"

Seeing the two boys hugging, Milky fainted with a nosebleed, looking blissful.

"Pervert!"

They shouted again.

This is bad! The two thought, but then,

"Stop! Stop!"

They heard a male and female voice.

Then, a man in golden armor and a woman in a silver robe with a metal whip appeared on a Slow Donkey, charging towards them.

The Slow Donkey knocked three Hobgoblins away, and the rest fled.

At that moment, Furio thought,

"...Cool... A hero! The hero has come!"

They just knocked the Hobgoblins away because they couldn't control the Slow Donkey, but to Furio, they were the epitome of a hero.

Incidentally, the Slow Donkey, which should have been the main hero, was eating the paper that Milky, who fainted with a nosebleed, was holding, looking very satisfied.

In this world, high-quality paper is made by pharmacists and apparently tastes good to Slow Donkeys.

"Are you okay? I'm Joffre! A hero!"

"My name is Elise! A Monster Master! This is a Centaur."

Two town delinquents.

Two idiots.

A donkey and a pervert.

The moment when five people and one animal who shouldn't have met, met.
