To Deprive a Deprived Person Chapter 236 – Revived fear

TDADP chapter 236: Revived fear

「Eh!? You're going to tell Odono-sama?」

Namari's voice reverberates in Comer City´s Adventurer's Guild Office, where the guild master is absent.

「Eh, impossible. Namari, do you know what you did? Thanks to your selfishness, the large room on the second floor is almost half destroyed. It would be natural to tell Yuu-chan, the guardian of Namari-chan, because it would be a lot of money, but I will tell the guild master later that this will happen when I am in charge of the guild. But if the guild leader sees a partially destroyed guild, it's a hard time......huhu, that might be interesting」

Although Edda hides her mouth with her hands, everyone can clearly see that her cheeks are loose and smiling.

「Buuu, I'm sorry」

Namari is in great acclaim and is scolded by Edda while sitting on the soles. On her knees, Momo was still trapped in a spherical barrier that Edda created. When she knew she could not escape, she gave up and slept in the barrier.

「It's too big to do apologize」

「I just beat the bad guy. Colette-oneechan help me」

「Unreasonable Elf」

「Ahaha......」

Nana, the black slime, on Namari's head was indignant at Edda's response. Colette, who was watching the scene, laughs bitterly.

「Namari-chan, I think it's better not to go against Edda-san」

「That's right. If you're going to make Edda angry, you'd better stop」

Tropi, similarly seated beside Namari, whispers in her ear. On the other side, Eckart was distressed, distorting his face with pain to the unfamiliar sitting position. Now, two of the remaining parties, Noah and Yak.u.m――

「Kee. Namari, there's nothing to reflect on! This is because this stupid giant has started the fight first!」

「Who's an idiot! You, what do you want to say to me? Ah. Edda, solve this troublesome barrier!! I'm an injured person! Eenka? A person of the adventurer guild conducts action such as abduction and confinement of an outside injured person who is not an adventurer!!」

「Shut up」

As if Edda drives away dogs and cats, she is waving her hands and the barriers confining Noah and Yak.u.m together tightens.

「Guoooo......th, this d.a.m.n――guhaa」

Noah, who is about to say something bad to women, blows bubbles and faints.

「Old woman, I don't want to say it agai――kohaa」

Subsequently, Yak.u.m, who has a high level of pain tolerance, loses consciousness.

「Zamaaa」

Claudia is innocently pleased with her inadequacies.

「Stop it, Edda-oneechan. Noah isn't bad. I just beat the bad guy」

「No. Noah, who went on a rampage together, is also guilty. Above all, there is too little consideration and attention to women」

「Buhuu」

Claudia instinctively blew out and Tropi was desperate to pretend to be calm and couldn't resist laughing. Colette gets nervous about such figures.

「Mou, Edda-oneechan is already stubborn」

Namari put her hand in the item pouch sewn on the overalls and on the plate that was taken out was a roll cake. It has plenty of cream and plenty of strawberries. Recently Yuu has been hooked on making roll cakes, changing creams and fruits every day to make a variety of roll cakes and sample them as snacks for Namari. This roll cake is today's snack for Namari and Momo at 3 o'clock, but Namari gives it all to Edda. Yes, it was an explicit bribe. Colette shouts from behind, 「Namari-chan, you'll be a bad adult if you do that」, but Namari is also desperate.

「Ah, that's the sweets made by Yuu-chan, right? I want to eat it too」

Tropi begs and held her fingers in her mouth, but Namari is far from it. If you don't get around here, the turmoil in the adventurer's guild will be found out by Yuu.

「Please forgive Noah with this. Don't tell Odono-sama because he´ll get angry」

「It's sly. Trying to save only herself and Noah. Ah, then I want you to forgive me too slowly」

「Mou! Namari-chan, I'll have Yuu-san scold you later」

Edda says nothing and picks up the plate with a sweet smelling roll cake from Namari and places it in her item pouch. Then, Namari looks at Edda with a smile and full of expectations――

「That's it. This is this. I'm grateful for this roll cake」

It was a sentence of a ruthless Edda.

「Eeeh!? Edda-oneecha, I gave you a roll cake, but it was sly!」

「Pupupuu」

「Gus.h.i.+s.h.i.+. Namari's bribe failed」

「Adults are cunning」

Eckart and Tropi on both sides of Namari comfort the pouting Namari.

「Namari-chan, you're not going to be a good adult if you're doing this kind of behavior. And――」

Edda glares at Claudia, who is laughing unbearably since a while ago.

「Claudia, what's so funny?」

「That's not what it's decided for. That demi-human child called Edda an older sister earlier. It's funny」

「Edda-oneechan is Edda-oneechan! What's wrong!!」

Edda strokes Namari's head while saying 「It's okay」.

「Namari is a good girl. Claudia, in comparison with you」

「What's this? This completely invincible me is something to complain about」

「Haa....... What's totally invincible?」

With a big sigh, Edda stares at Claudia with a compa.s.sionate expression, like a mother who is worried about how to enjoy a child who isn't listening.

「Wh, What? Eyes like seeing a poor child!」

「The spirit sword Fifth Element you're sitting on is probably a treasure of the Elves」

「Well, I must admit!」

Claudia proudly stretches out her small chest.

「Even though you are someone from the head clan, that treasure may not be something that you, the ninth or tenth place to inherit the throne, can take without permission」

「Uh......th, that's not true」

「Does the royal family know you're usually here?」

「......It, It's not natural. ......I know」

「Why don't you get in touch with them? I'm bothered because of the stupid daughter who brought out the royal treasure」

It was more than a thousand years ago that the royal family, which originally organized the elves, was divided into four royal families in the wake of the war. Claudia is from a branch of one of the four royal families, but she lived in the woods away from the secular, so it was never known that Claudia was in Comer City. But the story is different if Edda tells the royal family where Claudia is located. An elite elf serving the royal family will be dispatched to the Comer City in an attempt to seize Claudia as soon as possible.

「If you do that, it'll be terrible later!」

「Ah, let's add that the reason you left the country was chasing a human male」

Until now, Claudia was trembling little by little as she looked at her feet without losing her upset.

「Stop it!」

There is no fragment, such as the appearance of Claudia, who is feared as 『Sword Dance Princess』. There was only a humorous appearance of a runaway girl who did not want to lose her place and doesn't want her parents to find out.

「Well, the joke is around here」

Barbara, who had been silently watching, knew more than enough that Edda would do it seriously. The mouth was closed like a sh.e.l.l so that it would not come too tight.

「I'm going out, so I'll leave the rest to you」

「Where do you go when you go out?」

Colette asks Edda suspiciously while playing with Namari.

「Colette, what are you talking about? Didn't you hear the story of Tropi? I'll be heading to the royal city of Tenca.s.si. The Finance Minister is sneaking behind the scenes. If you're really the guild leader, you're going to have to say it's not a big deal, so it's a problem」

Colette rushed in front of Edda, who walked straight to the door, and came to a stop.

「Colette, what are you doing?」

Barbara tries to stop her and Tropi shouts, 「I'm scared if she gets angry」.

「Don't do it. It's irresponsible to go to the royal capital without the guild leader's permission because Edda is in charge of the adventurer's guild while the guild master is absent」

Edda thinks about Colette's argument, with her hands on her cheeks. And then――

「Colette, it's a good opportunity for you to think for yourself and move on, rather than relying on me or the guild master. There are elders like Fifi and Rebecca, and young and excellent receptionists like Barbara and Mofu. If anything, you can use Tropi over there」

Tropi sitting straight puts her tongue out, but when she is glared at by Edda, she suddenly retracts her tongue.

「I would go to Yuu-chan and Count Muss to discuss the cost of repairing the adventurer's guild, but that's not the case. It would be terrible to have Yuu-chan and Count Muss against us」

「I, I can't do it!」

「Ah, is that so? Unexpectedly, I feel like Collet would be okay」

Edda's hand is placed on Colette's shoulder as she swings her hands.

「Anyway, I need to join the guild master as soon as possible. I can catch up with the guild master before he gets to the royal capital. You know what happens if there's no guild master, right?」

「And Comer City´s Adventurer´s Guild......」

Comer City´s Adventurer's Guild is one of the most competing adventurer´s guilds in the Udon Kingdom. Edda couldn't imagine what would happen if there was something with Morphis, the top of the adventurer's guild, with a simple receptionist like Colette――

「Uhuhu. It's different」

Edda huggs Colette and strokes her head.

「I'm going to fight Finance Minister Balue´s faction」

「Eeh!?」

「Then it's hard, isn't it? So, please」

Edda winks to Colette mischievously. Then she pa.s.sed by Colette and opened the door, grabbing the edge of the skirt and jogs.

----------------------------------------

「d.a.m.n....... That f.u.c.king undead of that stupid brat! It's not going to work. Remember......I'll never forgive you!!」

On the road leading to Muss´s mansion, Ranpou poisons while holding down his aching body.

「Hey hey, excuse me. Even though I recovered a bit with my mana potion, my MP is completely empty. And you would have lost to that girl, Lena」

「Aah!? Who lost!! She wouldnt have a chance without that surprise attack!!」

Ranpou stared at Gonroya with murderous eyes, but glanced back straight ahead and Gonroya continued his words.

「You're not serious about it, are you? Victory or defeat is often decided by an surprise attack. Since when you've come to say something sweet like a knight or a n.o.bleman」

「Guu......」

When Gonroya hits a painful spot, Ranpou couldn't talk back and shut up with a grumpy face. As they walk silently, they see a familiar dwarf in front of them.

「Oh, isn't it Puriri?」

Puriri also came running, as she noticed Ranpou and Gonroya.

「Eeeh? What happened to you two, what is with this unusual appearance? N, No way!? Did you lose to a lower-ranked opponent who is at C Rank!?」

Puriri who met them at the crossroads on the road, sees Ranpou and Gonroya and decides that they have lost.

「Puriri! Youu!!」

「Somehow, I was beaten black and blue by Satou's subordinate, undead Russ. Ah, isn't Ranpou different?」

「Well, I made a joke, but really? No, it's no real thing. You've been in a clan composed of only rear guards 『The Strike of Extermination』 and have been involved in A-rank labyrinths such as 『Rakshasa´s Nest』. Did Ranpou, who has captured a lot of labyrinths, become an adventurer early, lose to a rookie? Did he really lose?」

Puriri skips around Ranpou, as if to make a fool of Ranpou, whose body trembles from anger.

「Puriri, don't do that. You are also empty-handed, arent you?」

「Hoo, yoo, I didnt lose」

Puriri responds to Gonroya while avoiding Ranpou's hands trying to catch her.

「Even though I was winning, Lara-san disturbed me! Without her, I could have heard what Satou said by now」

「Lara came!? Impossible......wait. How did Lara get to Puriri, no way......?」

「Wait a minute!」

「Ahaha. Ranpou-san, what are you angry about?」

Ranpou chases away the fleeing Puriri, releasing Gonroya who thinks. Even though he had a bad feeling, Gonroya continued on. After a while, a particularly high wall can be seen. It is an outer wall surrounding the vast site owned by Muss. As they were walking along the same outer wall as usual, Ranpou and Puriri, who had already run away, stopped.

「Hmm? What's wrong. Why do you stop at that place」

「It's weird. There is no reaction from the golems guarding the premises」

「There is nothing wrong with the barrier that I made in the hall」

「Arent the golems, who sensed that Ranpou´s had lost, returned to the earth and became a earth ma.s.s again?」

「This!」

「Ahahaa. It doesn't hurt at all」

When Ranpou pokes Puriri's head and pa.s.ses through the gate, there was

「What is it?"

In front of Ranpou, a golem made of various materials, such as iron and stone, that used to protect Count Muss´s mansion became a cruel figure and the remnants of the golem were folded like a mountain. And, sitting on the top of the wreckage――

「Satou......!! You, my golem!!!」

「Is this junk yours?」

「My golem isnt junk!!」

「If it's not junk, it's a toy. Muss is an Count. Are you going to protect him seriously with such a toy? I'll prepare a little better escort. Where's the other trash fellows?」

「We're......tras.h.!.+」

「If it's not trash, it's garbage. You move around sloppy behind the scenes, because you have business with me? I came all the way. Come on quickly」

In the left and right hands of Ranpou, the catalyst, a mithril ore, was already held.

「If I win, you'll listen to me」

Magic power is transferred from Ranpou's hand to the Mithril ores and they are mixed with the soil to create Mythril golems.

「Hahaa. Are you going to beat me?」

Yuu jumps off the mountain made of golem debris. Ranpou moves as Yuu lands, as if it had been a signal.

「Wait!」

「Silent! I can't stop, while being made fun of by that kid!! Puriri, dont make a move!! This is a one vs one between Satou and I!!」

Ranpou, who created two Mithril's golem, thrusts at Yuu shaking off Gonroya's voice.

「Isn't that good? I appeared from the other side. I think it was rather convenient」

It wasn't just Ranpou that was sharp. Although it seemed to be the same as usual on the surface, Puriri was angry with Yuu's words.

「Idiot! How do you excuse yourself from trying to avoid striking from the front, but also fighting on Muss-sama's premises. And Satou's appearance is strange」

「Is that so? I only see a cheeky child」

Puriri, a dwarf who looks like a child, wasn't very convincing. Gonroya wants to hold his head to his colleagues who have such ability but cannot control their emotions.

「I'll let you know one´s place!!」

With a height of two meters and a total weight of 800 kilograms, the movement of the Mithril golems is agile so that they come close. Then, a giant fist is fired at Yuu's face. Ranpou expected that Yuu will avoid the Mithril golem's fist, which was approaching with a twist. For this reason, two Mithril golems for pursuit had already been created and kept in check. But――

「What a moron would receive the attack head on!?」

「Ahahaa. It sounded great. Did he die now?」

Like Ranpou, Gonroya had also antic.i.p.ated a number of battles after Yuu avoided, but could not hide his surprise from the unexpected results. It was a cras.h.i.+ng sound as if Yuu's face had disappeared. Blood and teeth flutter in the air, and Yuu's body slides greatly.

「Ha, hahaa! How are you going to win!! You´re a small fish that can't even avoid this much!!」

Unexpectedly, Ranpou manipulates the mithril golem, who has released its fist, with a magic thread to try to pursue Yuu as it is.

「Hey....... What! Move!!」

Mithril golem remained in a beaten position and no matter how much Ranpou operated it, it didn't move.

「Did you really beat Lena?」

As if waiting for Yuu's words, a line runs from the head of the Mithril golem to the crotch, and split apart delayed. Unexpectedly, Yuu's hands were holding two large swords, Black Dragon Sword - Light and Black Dragon Sword - Wet Crow.

「Seriously!? Its a golem boasting mythril strength」

Gonroya opens his eyes to an incredible event in front of him. It is unlike the iron golem that the undead Russ slashed. Its strength and durability are so different that it is ridiculous to compare with a Mithril golem.

「I guess I can't lose to a kid who never killed a person」

「That's it」

For a moment, Ranpou had an expression of emptiness on his face, but it immediately turned into an expression of anger.

「Aaa!? Something? If I'm prepared to kill that s.h.i.+tty brat, I'll say I'm losing!」

He reveals his anger, but he is indeed a fierce fighter. While becoming emotional, he takes out Damascus steel from his item pouch, creates golems one after another and prepares a formation. It's true that he chose a Damascus golem instead of a Mithril golem slashed by Yuu. For strength and toughness alone, Damascus steel surpa.s.ses mythril.

「Are you ready?」

Yuu, whose teeth and nose bones have already been regenerated by the blow of the Mithril golem, carries the black dragon sword, Wet Crow, on his shoulder.

「Haahaa! You´re really a ridiculous kid. A kid who has been an adventurer for a few years is looking down on me」

At the moment Yuu's upper body was shaken, Ranpou jumped far behind, using the Damascus steel golem as a s.h.i.+eld. At that time, he felt heat in his abdomen that covered his whole body because he casted the 5th rank spirit magic 『Iron Skin』. At the same time as landing, Ranpou saw a scene in which ten golems made of Damascus steel were torn to the left and slipped off the torso.

「s.h.i.+t......」

The ident.i.ty of the heat that Ranpou felt from his belly was blood. The robe was dyed red in a blink of an eye, creating a blood pool at his feet. Yuu released the 5th Rank sword technique, 『Mozanbakuzan』. The longer the storage time, the more powerful the sword technique, but not only the Damascus steel golems were cut, but also the torn edges of Ranpou and the skin that has become steel in the aftermath.

「It's a change」

「Puriri」

Puriri pats Ranpou's torn abdomen. Then, it was closed as if there were no scratches. However, even though the slash wound was closed, something like a black haze stuck.

「It's a curse. Perhaps, but the sword itself is cursed, not magic or a skill. The wound has healed, but I can't remove such a powerful curse. You should ask Lara」

「Wa, Wait! I'm still――」

「You would like to say that you haven't lost yet. But no matter how you look at it, you lose」

Ranpou was bitterly glaring at Puriri, who walked forward without looking back, but a black carpet that covered Puriri jumped into sight.

「Idiot!?」

Gonroya hurries to protect the immovable Ranpou with an ice wall. Black bullets that look like black carpets are the 4th Rank black magic 『Steel Bullet』 and are sinking into the ice wall of Gonroya like rain hail.

「What power and quant.i.ty. This is a n.o.ble district. You've got to think about it before using magic」

「Guooo....... That s.h.i.+t kid gets on the beat, Puriri......is Puriri okay?」

「Puriri? Yes, she will be fine as long as she uses a lot of medicine. I'll walk around to show my room while avoiding」

「You're stupid. If you're showing time! Gonroya, you´re going to join us!」

「You....... I'm telling you to put your hand out, what are you trying to do by joining hands with Puriri? I can join her. But what kind of hara.s.sment will be done by Puriri later? And who will protect you when I leave here?」

The bullets called 『Steel Bullet』 are constantly being fired while Gonroya and Ranpou talk. The ice wall was shaved and dug and each time Gonroya redeployed a thick and extensive ice wall, stopping damage outside the premises. Puriri was walking calmly through the flying bullets.

「It's useless」

Evading high-speed flying bullets or walking while catching them by hand.

「So it's useless and I don't need to avoid it. Look, like this」

Puriri opens her arms and accepts the murderous bullets with a hug. Shortly after Gonroya shouts, 『Stop!』, hundreds of bullets penetrate Puriri´s entire body.

「Hee? It's useless」

The air holes opened in Puriri´s body closes in an instant.

「It's impossible to beat me」

Yuu and Puriri face each other. It is far enough to reach each other if one of them reach out.

「Do you think you can beat me if you're in close range?」

The colorless, odorless petrification poison already sprayed from Puriri and covered Yuu's whole body.

「It's a petrification poison. You don't have to go easy on someone, so do your best-that?」

From the edge where the petrification progresses, the stone peels off from Yuu's whole body.

「I'm surprised. I don't see any equipment that has petrification resistance」

「It's not equipment」

「Anyway, I suppose that a race like you has the rarest petrification resistance among the conditions?」

Ignoring Puriri's words, Yuu carries the two large swords on his shoulders.

「Good. Attack as much as you like. There are many ways to kill you, but I'll show you what you do is useless」

For Puriri, whose dynamic visual acuity was abnormally improved by the medicine, there was no effort to avoid watching the avant-garde attack. Puriri's idea was that, even if she is attacked by a fluke, her regenerative power is so abnormal that she is proud of it.

「Eh?」

However, Yuu's actions cause Puriri to leak a silly voice.

「Why the weapon――」

It's no wonder that Puriri is surprised. Yuu released his two large swords on his shoulders. The large swords fell on the ground and pierced the ground and Yuu's palms gently covered Puriri´s field of view, who had followed him with her eyes and immediately received a right fist into her jaw. Puriri whose brain was shaken violently, collapses on her knees like a doll with a broken thread.

「What do you want to do with this level of attack......what? Why can't I stand up to this level?」

「Your brain is shaking. No matter how great your regenerative power is, there's no way you can withstand it」

While looking down on Puriri, Yuu grabs the black dragon sword Wet Crow that stuck to the ground and swings up as it is.

「I'll try to see if it grows even if you behead my head」

「Wait!!」

Gonroya shouts, but the development of the ice wall isn't very good, but not in time. Then, Yuu tries to swing down the black dragon sword Wet Crow, but at that time Yuu stops moving. That's not all. Yuu jumps greatly when he pulls out the remaining large sword, the black dragon sword Light that stuck to the ground. Further, if he soars up two or three times, as if he was kicking the ground in an empty s.p.a.ce, he would run in the air and disappear in no time.

「Wh, What. Why is Satou running away――uoo!?」

If you swing the sword down like that, perhaps, Puriri was dead. Nevertheless, terrible killing intent is slammed from behind Gonroya, who thinks why Yuu escaped. The murderous man himself did not intend to slam, but it was an illusion that Gonroya had been beaten by too much killing intent.

「Joseph......you're back」

In front of Gonroya and Ranpou, stood Joseph, with Jozu on his shoulders.

「I guess it's not Yuu right now?」

「You, appearing unconcernedly at this time!!」

Joseph throws Jozu down and approaches Ranpou.

「Did you put your hand out towards Yuu」

「What if it's the case!」

「I'll kill you」

To Joseph´s words, which didn't raise his voice, Gonroya's whole hair stood up and Puriri, whose feet were still unsteady, fell to the ground. But Ranpou was different.

「If you can kill me, try to kill me!!」

Gonroya forgot to blink and saw that moment. Although there are differences between Joseph and Ranpou, vanguard vs rearguard, they are both high-ranking adventurers. A stone wall is unfolded between Joseph and Ranpou by the 3rd Rank spirit magic 『Raise Wall』 in the battle of the two moments. A spear made of wood-grained steel, Damascus steel, pierces the stone and approaches Joseph, from stone wall that blocks his view. From close range blocked from the view, the 6th rank spirit magic 『Nakonma Spear - Dama Spear』, damascus steel spear attacks. It is a deadly blow. However, unless the opponent is Joseph.

「Guoooooooooo!!!」

The stone wall slipped diagonally and there was Ranpou´s figure holding his thigh with a face of agony. Joseph not only evaded the attack, but also tore Ranpou's thigh with the stone wall.

「Guuu......yo, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!!」

Ranpou tries to close the slipping thigh wound with the 5th rank spirit magic 『Iron skin』, but the magic doesn't work. On the contrary, it scatters from the edge where he is trying to collect magic power. The magic doesn't work because of Joseph's LV 2 dark sword, 『Kouzan』. By dare disturbing the sword muscle, it gives a messy sitting wound that heals slowly rather than a clean cut wound. Also, at that time, the magic effect is delayed by disturbing the target's magic power, but if Joseph uses it, it can even inhibit the activation of magic rather than delay.

「b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Why is my magic power――gouoo」

Joseph kicks up Ranpou's jaw. Ranpou flying in the air while scattering blood from the broken jaw, falls down and bounces several times on the ground, losing consciousness.

「That's it!」

Joseph's feet were frozen as he tried to attack more.

「You're overdoing it」

「Am I overdoing it? Who do you talk to?」

Joseph shatters the captive ice with the rock dragon large sword and moves toward Gonroya.

「Don't get any closer to me」

Gonroya warns Joseph who is approaching in a murderous manner, but he keeps his distance without concern.

「Taku. I don't know if you´re going to listen to other people」

When Gonroya raises his arm, an ice wall appears from the ground. A blade jumps out of the ice wall. The protruding blade is Joseph's rock dragon large sword. It breaks through the one-meter-thick ice wall, not just ice. This is magic ice developed by Gonroya. However, Gonroya knew that Joseph could do this without any effort. When Gonroya crosses his arms in a complicated way, ice walls unfold one after another. A total of six huge ice walls surround the first ice wall and when the ice blocks finally come down from above, they close the lid.

「With this, my MP is empty. It should be filled with ice without any gaps, but the s.p.a.ce is open so as not to suffocate. Just cool your head there for a while」

Joseph stood in front of Gonroya who looked back to see Ranpou.

「Wha――gohaa」

With Joseph's fist that exchanged blows with oni demon Noah, he blew away Gonroya. Because Joseph was holding Gonroya's right wrist. Joseph pulls Goroya in his arms and breaks it all at once.

「Gugaaa」

The dry sound of a broken branch echoed. Gonroya, who never thought that Joseph would throw away his sword, was completely out of guard. With no MP and no barriers to the attack of Joseph's successive fist attacks, Gonroya's arms were broken and he could not receive or avoid Joseph's fist. While watching, Gonroya's face swells and falls to the ground.

「What did I say to you guys?」

Joseph puts his feet on the back of Gonroya's head.

「Don't shut up and answer」

As Joseph puts his weight on his feet, Gonroya's skull screams, screaming.

「Hands......don't put your hands out......gugaaaaaa」

「That's right. I didn't wish or ask for it」

「Agaa......aaaaaaaaaa......」

「I ordered. You're selling a fight to go against my orders, aren't you?」

Gonroya had already lost consciousness. If Joseph had put a little more emphasis on his feet, the skull would definitely have been broken.

「Tsk. It's just a little bit of a b.u.mp, but they always faint quickly」

「I......I'm not. Talk......listen to me」

Puriri talks to Joseph while hugging her trembling whole body.

「Who gave you permission to speak. You're selling a fight, too? Let's b.u.mp you off promptly」

Scary――Puriri wants to escape from the killing intent directed at her right away. But she knew by her instinct, not her head, that Joseph would definitely kill her if she escaped. And the memory of fear revives in Puriri´s mind. By the time Joseph had just arrived at Comer City, Muss had twice as many house guests as he had today. It was a mistake to have said to Joseph for fun how much the hero of the spear was invited to be a house guest. Seven high-ranking adventurers were murdered in front of Puriri and four were half-murdered. The unaffected Puriri was safe, but the half-murdered ones left Comer City to escape from Joseph when the wounds healed. In the past few years, she has become somewhat curly, more intimidating since she met Yuu and had forgotten to laugh while joking.

Joseph Jorm is a man who uses his strength against those who insulted him and above all the fear that his opponents cant resist.

「Ya......I won't kill you. That's horrible」

Puriri's body, trembling with fear, doesn't seem to be healing at all.

「Well, bring those idiots along」

「Ye, Yes」

Joseph walks towards the mansion, still wearing violent killing intent. Puriri followed Joseph, dragging Gonroya and Ranpou with her, with minimal treatment for Ranpou who was about to die.

「d.a.m.n」

Yuu, who was literally running in the sky with his unique skill 『Infinite Sky Walk』 was obviously frustrated.

「Why do I have to run away when I see Joseph? If Joseph gets in the way, together――d.a.m.n it, it's like I――」

――he was like a child who ran away for fear of being scolded by his parents.

---------------

「Who do you think I am? You want me to stay in such a lousy place?」

A woman dressed in a gorgeous dress screamed hysterically in a room in a village inn about 60 km north of Comer City. The inn was reserved by a party now, but surprisingly, all those who stayed before the party were driven out and chartered. Such lawlessness would not have been able to pa.s.s through, but the women had the power to do so.

「I'm sorry, but this inn is the best in the village――」

Dry sound resounds in the room. The sound of a woman hitting a male servant's face with a fan.

「Who are you speaking to?」

「I'm sorry. We´ll arriving at Comer City tomorrow, so please forgive me for the time being」

No one could dissuade the woman from being selfish. It may be that such behavior is usually performed. The servants and escorts were careful not to undermine that woman's mood at all.

「Did you tell Count Muss that I'm going to see him tomorrow?」

「Of course」

「So. And yet no messenger came to welcome me. This I is treated with contempt」

If you look around the room, the silk and expensive furnis.h.i.+ngs brought in by the party are being unchanged. But the guests will not complain or protest. Every Udon citizen knows. You must never go against the Finance Minister and the n.o.bles and stakeholders of that faction.

「I'm going to have to tell you who's going to be in the Count position」

The woman smiles as the attendant drinks up the wine poured into the gla.s.s. The servant who saw it up close shuddered involuntarily.
