Hush Now, Saintess! - Chapter 110
Chapter 110
Translator: Yonnee
—
With a loud crash, the door flew open and employees in black uniforms poured in.
Unable to find us anywhere else, they had all come here as a last resort.
“Catch them!”
Shouting, they charged at us with fire in their eyes.
But honestly, I wasn’t too worried.
Earlier, I was anxious because we hadn’t finished the mission and I was afraid of wasting time.
But now…
With Mr. Psycho Guy, Hildeon, here.
Sure enough.
Just like in Bastion, the situation was swiftly and efficiently handled.
The sound of whacks and grunts filled the air.
And through it all, there was Hildeon, calm and unperturbed, like a guy who’s gone completely wild.
I had to suppress my urge to applaud. Got to be discreet.
“Is there no one else?”
Hildeon muttered in a low voice.
His tone carried a pressure entirely different from his usual conversations.
The remaining conscious employees looked visibly pale.
One of them staggered to his feet.
“Ugh, he’s a real monster. But…”
But?
The man launched himself towards a lever.
“Let’s see if you can stop this…”
Oh my, what a cliché villain line.
Even his laugh sounded like a third-rate villain.
While I sighed inwardly, the man pulled the lever with all his might.
Whiiir—
The sound of machinery echoed through the space.
The source of the sound was the metal bars blocking the partition.
Screeching, the metal bars imprisoning people lifted.
The employee shouted triumphantly.
“Kehaha! These people can’t even feel pain! No matter how much you beat them, they keep coming! They don’t even realize they’re injured!”
Seriously, why explain everything?
I interjected quietly,
“Is it because of that blue pill?”
“Well deduced! Yes! That pill induces pleasant hallucinations in people. But without it, they only think miserable thoughts! The mental anguish is so severe that they can’t feel physical pain!”
Thank you for the convenient explanation.
‘So that’s why those people acted like zombies in my dream.’
They kept getting up, no matter how many times they were struck.
Hildeon couldn’t kill the drug-induced victims and fought with his sword still sheathed.
While the employee continued his detailed explanation, all the bars were raised.
“Damn it.”
Hildeon swore softly and approached me, showing his back.
“Stay right behind me. Don’t let go.”
Saying this, Hildeon took my hand and wrapped it around his waist.
Oh my.
Surprised, I moved as he pulled me along.
The employee chuckled and pointed at us.
“Now, everyone, get up and take them down! No pill for anyone who fails!”
“Uuurgh!”
At the employee’s shout, someone charged out from behind the bars.
And then…
“Huh?”
That was it.
Only one person charged out.
And even he was knocked out by Hildeon’s first strike, flying into another room.
‘Sorry to the original occupant of that room.’
I mentally apologized to the room’s original occupant.
“What… What is this…”
The employee, who had been so smug, mumbled in dismay.
I peeked out from behind Hildeon’s torso.
“Well, I put them all to sleep.”
“What?”
“I anticipated this, so I put them to sleep in advance.”
By mixing a sleeping agent into the holy water.
Before stepping into the cornfield. I bought a 〈 Strong Liquid Sleeping Agent 〉 bottle from the item shop.
〈 Strong Liquid Sleeping Agent
– A liquid sleeping agent. It has immediate effects upon skin contact. Be careful not to get it on your skin! 〉
—Why are you buying that, nya?
—For self-defense.
Immediate effect. Usable from a distance.
Perfect for self-defense.
‘For someone like me, this is a must-have.’
I planned to spray it immediately if a dangerous situation arose.
But it turned out to be used differently.
