chapter 404
404 – Afterword: Indomitable Fetch
“Hello, Delta! “It’s been a while since I saw you!”
As the saying goes, it’s been a long time since we last met, but our first meeting in almost 40 years was quite different compared to before.
The bright hot pink twin tails, hot pink eyes, breathtaking hot pink underboob, and extremely short hot pink tights were still the same, but the most different thing was the atmosphere.
The atmosphere that was so clumsy that it felt shabby from before was everywhere, and there was a lot of leisure in each movement, as if he had eaten well and lived well.
Just looking at the mansion I’m staying in right now was like that. It was originally mine, but it became more useless so I handed it over to Fetch, who completely tore it up and modified it to his liking.
There were so many people in the house that people got kicked. Did he make that much money?
“So, what’s going on—kwaaah?!”
Of course, I didn’t come for a leisurely business like a housewarming or to say hello, so I gathered up the twin tails of the smiling Fetch and lifted him up.
“What on earth are you?”
“Head! All my hair is pulled out! Please save me, Delta! “I haven’t done anything yet!”
“Not yet?”
“aaah! Sorry! Sorry! It’s a mistake! “I won’t do it again!”
Petch stood on his tiptoes and fluttered like a fish on a fishing line. Still, he seemed to understand the topic well, so he didn’t grab my arm or swing his arms or legs at me.
If that were the case, I would have tied it up and started.
“No matter how you look at it, it’s amazing. “Are you a normal human being?”
“Ouch, ouch! “My hair is really falling out!”
“If you don’t answer, I’m telling you to leave. “Depending on your answer, I will either attach it to you or leave it as is.”
“aaah! It’s too much—Apod?!”
I shook the hot pink twin tails I was holding back and forth. I had felt this for a long time, but no matter how I looked at Fetch, he was far from an ordinary human being.
Even though what appeared in Brightest Darkness 1-3, which has now become a huge classic game, was just an Easter egg, there was evidence that it had been active for a very long time even in the original world.
And even in the final episode of the series, he was given the name Fetch and made a mark as a merchant NPC. At this point, I was curious as to what it was that brought me to the Bronx series.
‘It was the same when I went to look for the golden key.’
There was even a possibility that it may have lived for over a thousand years. I’m not blessed by the goddess like my wives. Even Eclipse avoided mentioning the identity of Fetch.
She was truly a strange woman. Out of curiosity, I raised the hand holding the twin tails even more. Fetch’s toes rose to a dangerous level.
“I’m sorry! Sorry! I did everything wrong! I don’t know what I did wrong, but I did everything wrong! So please forgive me! “Delta!”
No matter how much he grabbed his twin tail and shook it, Fetch could only scream and was cleverly avoiding answering questions about his identity. From the looks of it, he didn’t seem to have the heart to answer at all.
I should be able to get an answer if I use more intense violence or turn my brain into an idiot, but I don’t want to go that far. First of all, I hate it, but I love it.
So far, I haven’t been curious enough to overcome my hatred.
“Whoa…… Ugh…… My head…….”
I let go. Fetch was in tears as he smoothed his messed up hot pink twin tails.
“Why don’t you stop acting so harshly because you haven’t lost a single strand?”
“Sniff…… Yes.”
Petch was swallowing tears with his mouth, but he was watching me with his eyes. Those tears themselves were proof that it was a lie. More than a hundred years have passed, but somehow nothing has changed from before.
“Well, so…” … Why did you suddenly come to me…… ? I have to stop by the alchemist in a little while…… I have an appointment…….”
The alchemist mentioned there does not mean Linnaeus, but his successor. Linnaeus’s life had long since expired, and he was another disciple who inherited his knowledge and memories according to the alchemist’s tradition.
I’ve met him a few times recently, but fortunately, perhaps because Linnaeus was a special case, his successors didn’t show much interest in me. I guess I have an unlimited supply of ingredients, I’ve been busy focusing on alchemy.
I was a little appalled when Master handed me a perfume bottle that would retain Linnaeus’ body odor indefinitely, saying it was his last invention.
“Have you been fired yet?”
Petch was still in charge of supplying goods, so he seemed to be working quite hard.
“No matter what happens, we operate with faith and trust.”
“What and what?”
“S-sorry! It’s nothing!”
Looking back on how she tried to stab me in the back from the first time we met, at least she can’t say that in front of me.
“That’s it. Why did you ask me to come here? It’s no big deal. No, it might not be right.”
I pulled out all kinds of bottles from subspace and floated them in the air. As the illness increased, Fetch’s face became whiter and whiter.
I took out all the vials, 93 to be exact, and lined them up, then made eye contact with Fetch, who was breaking into a cold sweat.
“Do you know what this is?”
“Well, I don’t know…… ? I’m not sure…… Ho, ho, ho, ho, you don’t mean to use it on me…… ?”
“Do you know what this is and say you’re writing it to me?”
“… ….”
Fetch closed his mouth as if he had missed it. I just took the medicine out of subspace and didn’t say anything yet. My feet were numb.
“Ah, hahahaha! Ha ha ha! Just by looking at it, it looks like a medicine bottle! So I was wondering if he was trying to feed me!”
Still, it seemed like he had found a way out. I pretended to be persuaded by the excuse, which seemed plausible in its own way, and gave it over.
“That’s right. Even if you look at it, it is a drug. “Except that the person who made it was an alchemist.”
“Is that so?”
“Who do you think I got this from?”
Knock, knock. I tapped the medicine bottles floating in the air with my fingers. A clear sound echoed in the room.
“Ha, hahahahaha…… Well. I’m fine…….”
“My princesses.”
“… ….”
“I was excited because they said they would serve me tea, so I went there and found that they put this in the car. “You said you don’t know what this is, so I don’t even know what kind of medicine it is?”
“Yes, yes…” ….”
“It was a weak drug. It’s pretty powerful too. “I couldn’t feel any mana, so I let my guard down and almost got into big trouble.”
“… ….”
All the things I took out of subspace were so-called weak drugs specialized for s*xually arousing someone. For some reason, when I invited him over for tea, he said he was dressed a little more skimpily than usual.
“The princesses who came up with this crazy plan are being caught and scolded by their mother, and I was wondering who gave this to our cute princesses, so I came to see you, Fetch.”
Fetch said nothing. All he did was break out in a cold sweat.
“Right, Fetch? “Are you curious about who gave this to you?”
“Yes! I’m very curiousㅡ”
“Why did you do that?”
“…… “Hiccup.”
‘Lord, I almost died… ….’
Petch let out a long, drawn-out sigh that he had held back only after Delta had completely left. It was an interrogation that severely chipped away at her mental strength, but she was somehow able to endure it with minimal damage.
This is why image was always important. To Delta, Fetch was someone who walked a fine line, one that was not a good relationship by any means, but that he could not blindly dislike.
And Fetch was a woman who knew how to use that image of herself to her core.
If the way Delta looked at her just now had been a little worse or, on the contrary, a little better, she would never have been able to get over it so easily.
‘It’s not okay to leave on too good a relationship. ‘The repercussions when a lie is discovered are too great.’
Even if you happen to be caught lying, if you put a plate on her face and apologize a few times in embarrassment, you can sigh and move on, saying, “That’s right, you’re right.” It’s too bad if her image is too good.
On the other hand, if your image is too bad, it will be impossible to cover up the moment your lie is discovered. Fetch was exquisitely balanced on that ‘good and bad’ line.
“I’m glad you just let it go. Really… ….”
I just came to know 100%. Even though she knew who the culprit was, she just gave him a warning and moved on. Fetch wasn’t so stupid that she didn’t know that.
‘It’s okay. I still have connections. ‘I can’t give up this lucrative business easily.’
To be honest, she refused at first. She refused the next time, and her third request was also refused. I know how much Delta cares for her daughters, but she’s crazy. Why would she get involved with something like that?
But even though she refused three times, she persistently asked for it, and even gave her a huge amount of money that she couldn’t dare refuse, so she has long since given up on the idea.
The basic amount received in ‘one’ secret transaction was large enough to live comfortably for a hundred years. Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy such a luxurious life, so there was no way I could give it up.
‘They also said that if you listen carefully, they will definitely protect you.’
Above all, we were promised protection in proportion to what we gained. No matter how much Delta did, she couldn’t do anything about Fetch when her daughters were trying to stop her.
“Where is the next meeting… ….”
Fetch spread her legs slightly and slowly traced between her thighs. And thanks to her alchemy, she pulled out a piece of paper that wasn’t crumpled in the least.
Where it was taken from was a secret known only to Fetch.
“You are amazing too. “You didn’t think you would know, did you?”
“Oh, no…… That’s it…… Lol… ….”
“So, who is this time? It’s not. I’ll ask you something else first. What was it this time?”
“…… “Cat lingerie.”
“What?”
