Chapter 134
Translator: “Pink Tea” Editor: “Weasalopes”
「Master, just listen to this, I almost died.」
『So everything is just as usual.』
Well, she has a point, but even so!
While gesturing I explained that this time it was more dangerous than usual. That even Master would have a hard time beating level 666.
『No no, I can beat enemies with even four-digit levels.』
「Is that, so…… I guess Master is the biggest monster around.」
『How rude. But anyway, running away was the correct decision. The current Noir-kun has no chance of winning head-on.』
That much is obvious. After all, that powerful Unnamed was broken with one thrust.
I’m pretty sure that even Champion’s Shield wouldn’t be able to withstand such an attack.
『Well, it doesn’t seem like he is targeting a certain someone, so your encounters with him should be rare enough. If you are that afraid, then you can wait until Dungeon Portal skill recharges and only then act.』
Master is always correct.
In fact, I never met Black Lancer until I reached the 13th floor. It can be seen as an unlucky coincidence.
『Chances are, he is lurking somewhere closer to the lower floors, so as you keep advancing down, you will…… 』
「Please don’t scare me!」
『Nyahahahaha! Noir-kun, your scared face is pretty cute as well.』
Ah, this is hopeless. The sense of tension just evaporates. But I noticed. I’m incredibly relaxed.
Ooh, could it be that the master did this on purpose to take my fright away…… Or so I thought, but considering how hard she is laughing, that’s not the case. Okay, let’s just leave her here.
「Ah, Master, I will certainly save you.」
With those words, I left the dungeon.
Outside, the sun is still up.
Today, after three consecutive battles I’m tired more than usual, so I head straight home.
It is what I thought, but it’s on such days that unexpected encounters tend to happen. Though now it was limited to an increased number of unfamiliar adventurers passing by.
The only problem is that at times they ask me which guild do I belong to. And after a reply, there are all kinds of possible reactions.
「Ah, Odin, huh. I see, sorry for bothering you.」
「Odin, they seem to be trying hard lately.」
「Damn.」
「Get lost, you trash!」
Some are somewhat polite, while some are openly hostile.
There is a huge difference from one person to another.
Hm?…… What is it this time? A group of people is facing each other in a plain view.
Three people and one womanーー Isn’t that Luna-san?
And among that trio there is Layla-san.
Luna-san belongs to Odin, just like me, which is in rivalry relations with Ramuh to which belong Layla-san. During the incident with the phantom thief they cooperated, but generally, the relations are pretty strained.
I have a bad premonition.
And upon approaching, it proved to be correct.
「We took down this one. Hurry up and get lost.」
「My shot hit it earlier. And you shot an arrow at a clearly dead target.」
Normally cool Luna-san is frowning. The opponent is a man about 20 years old.
He is sporting a characteristic short beard.
「Hey, hey, wait there.」
In as soft of a tone as possible I force my way into the conversation. Noticing the reactions of Luna-san and Layla-san, the bearded man looks at me.
「What, an acquaintance of yours? We are in the middle of a serious conversation. Don’t interrupt us.」
「For now, can you tell me what is that talk all about?」
I said looking at the rabbit with two fatal wounds. Just your ordinary rabbit common to those lands.
According to Luna-san, she took it down with the magic gun. And when she went to collect the dead rabbit, an arrow flew from somewhere and hit the animal.
From there it turned into the argument.
Well, both refuse to back down.
Layla-san is desperately trying to calm down the beaded man, while the other guy is agitating him, so the situation is out of control.
「It belongs to Luna-san. We were late.」
「Ah? Layla, you damn, whose side are you on?!」
「I’m just looking at things fairly.」
「For crying out loud, you are part of Ramuh! Why the hell would you be fair to the trash from Odin?! Are you okay in the head?!」
No, are YOU okay in the head……?
Anyway, Luna-san is also agitated, at this rate it surely would turn into a fight.
To be honest, right now I have no desire to get involved in troubles.
「Luna-san, I will catch another rabbit. Can you just give this one to them?」
「…But.」
「I’d ask the same. I will pay you back later.」
「……Can’t be helped.」
Layla-san also assisted, so Luna-san yielded the rabbit to the other party. The bearded man angrily grabbed the rabbit, spat, and walked away.
That’s some attitude. On the other hand, Layla-san bowed her head.
「Sorry, Luna-san, Noir-kun. I’d like to tell them in more strict terms, but I also have a debt of gratitude to Ramuh……」
She came from abroad to study in this town. So there is a matter of her and her brother’s tuition fees and living expenses.
It was thanks to Ramuh that she could safely raise money for that in such a situation. But it seems to be not that much of a pleasant place. Looks like Luna-san is having the same thoughts.
「If you can’t get along, why wouldn’t you just quit? I’m sure Odin will gladly accept you.」
「Hey, hey, we heard that!」
Uwaaa, the bearded guy came back. He has sharp ears.
「Going to a rival guild, that’s a war, you know that?」
「I understand……」
「Being such an ingrate is absolutely not allowed! C’mon, stop dawdling with them.」
After shouting to his heart’s content he once again walked away. That’s just tyrannical. Perhaps noticing my silent anger, Layla-san began apologizing again.
「There are a lot of short-tempered people, but it’s not like all of them are bad. I’d be glad if you understand this. Sorry about the rabbit, I will compensate for it later. 」
Putting her hands together Layla-san apologized and then rushed off after her group.
When we became alone, Luna-san told me that she hunted rabbits to feed them to kids from the neighborhood.
「I’ll help, let’s search.」
「Yes, it will be a great…… The cloth on your arm is torn.」
「Yeah, I’ve got a bit scratched by a tiger in the dungeon.」
「And I of all people didn’t even notice…… Let me heal you right away. Heal Shot.」
【Heal Shot】, her forte, hits me in the wound on the chest. With it now healed I thank her.
Having a person that can heal is nice after all.
Maybe I should learn something like that as well?
Swiftly hunting a few rabbits we returned to the town.
