Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 27.2

We ran together with Pochi through areas with few people, heading towards the eastern district of the city.

Although Emblam City is inhabited by many people, there is, of course, a difference in living standards in each district.

The eastern district is—so to speak—a poor district.

I never had any business coming here in the game, so I had never been here before, but seeing it in person, there was quite a disparity in living conditions.

The roads were worn down, with many broken parts, the soil was exposed, puddles formed, and in the alleys, people who seemed about to collapse lifted empty bottles, seeking alcohol that should not have been there.

Without hesitation, Pochi ran through such an area and stopped in front of a certain building.

Although it didn’t look much different from the other houses… indeed, there were definitely many people inside.

“Pochi, Lady Evans is here, right?”

“Woof!”

“Alright, if we use shadow movement, we shouldn’t be noticed. Pochi, stay hidden in the shadows.”

“Woof!”

“I understand, I understand. If anything happens, call me right away.”

“Growl.”

It seems Pochi is also worried about Lady Evans.

I activated the Shadow Movement skill and swiftly entered the building.

Hastily searching for blind spots, enduring the recast time, I moved down to the basement using Shadow Movement again.

It was much mustier than it looked, with other unpleasant smells mixed in.

Moreover, in some rooms, lascivious voices could be heard, making it quite the place to come to.

I proceeded down the hallway without incident and arrived at a room in the back.

“Stop it!”

I could hear Lady Evans’s voice.

“Hahaha! No one’s coming to save you!”

“T-That’s not true! If… if my father…”

“Your father, huh. Seems like… he’s not planning to pay the ransom, does he?”

“Eh…?”

Adjusting the recast time of Shadow Movement, I peeked into the room through the gap in the door.

Various items were placed around, but what was more disturbing was the bed placed at the back of the room.

There, a man was sitting with Lady Evans in his arms from behind.

It was good that no harm seemed to have been done to Lady Evans… but that might only be a matter of time.

“Lord… You’re saying that even though your daughter has been kidnapped, since it’s a disgrace to the family to acknowledge the fact, you won’t pay the ransom!”

“That… can’t be…”

“Hey hey. You of all people should know your father the best, right? Hehehe. Well, that doesn’t matter. If we can’t get the ransom, we’ll just sell you off for money.”

…What a despicable man.

“W-What do you intend to do!”

“What do you think! You’ll be sold in the black market! Don’t think you can escape at this point? And… hehehe. I’ll have to taste you first to see what you’re like.”

“S-Stop it!”

Lady Evans resisted, but she couldn’t match the man’s strength.
