"... How stupid. If they wanted to cause trouble for others, they could just go somewhere else.」
"Who is it? Who is laughing at us!」
The bald bearded man's face turned even redder as he turned in my direction. Oh no, he heard it. Like a receding wave, the crowd around me quickly fled the scene. They were rather stunned, looking as if they were deeply afraid of being implicated. Wow, how cold.
[Is that you? Are you calling us idiots?"
[What!?]
" No, I just said that it was stupid. I didn't say that the two of you are idiots..."
I'll defend myself like this. Actually, I do think they are stupid.
[Bastard…You must be the arrogant brat who just joined the guild recently and accepted the service of many women, right? I didn't like you before. What are you, trying to show off that you're popular? Are you looking down on us? Huh?"
"Hey, handsome guy, the so-called adventurers are all about fighting with their lives on the line. They're not children's parties! A brat like you shouldn't have come to the guild so arrogantly!」
Even I couldn't help but feel displeased and blurted out sarcastic words. Since he was a mature adult, he shouldn't pick on a child. Wasn't this what everyone called childish? The two people who were quarreling just now turned their hostility towards me. It seemed that I had become the target that both of them wanted to eliminate.
[You…are very bold!] Are you ready to die?」
Veins popped out on the bald bearded man's forehead as he glared at me. Being looked down upon by a man who was nearly two meters tall, I naturally looked up at him. The other party was a ferocious giant with muscles comparable to a wrestler, but I wasn't afraid at all. To be honest, it was scarier when my dead grandfather cursed at me. Therefore, I couldn't help but laugh.
[Bastard, bastard!]
The bald bearded man was somewhat hesitant and didn't draw his sword to slash at a brat like me. Instead, he raised his huge left fist and punched my face. Yes, I saw his movements clearly. I tilted my head slightly to the right and dodged his fist. I grabbed his fist and pulled him towards me. When he lost his balance, I kicked him. The bald bearded man who punched me was now completely lying on the ground. Wow, I did it. Fortunately, I asked Musashi to teach me this move.
[Bastard!]
This time, it was Punk Head who swung his sword. It was really dangerous.
[Swipe.]
I tripped Punk Head with a slip spell, and his sword tumbled to the ground from the impact of my fall. I picked it up and before he noticed, I secretly used Form Creation to make the sword as soft and curved as syrup. Changing the shape of an object would take a lot of time, but changing its shape was a piece of cake. With a clang, I threw the bent sword in front of Punk Head.
[Yi, yi!?]
Panke Hair let out a terrified voice and fell to the ground, slowly retreating. He probably thought I had monstrous strength.
[Don't drink!]
The bald bearded man got up and appeared behind me. This time, he swung his knife at me mercilessly. Aiya, how dangerous. I turned around and dodged the sword attack. I squatted down and swept the bald bearded man's feet from behind.
[Wuga!?]
The bald bearded man fell to the ground. The back of his head hit the ground heavily and he moaned on the spot. This should have given him a slight concussion. His head was shaking. After all, he was already drunk. I also used my Creation Form to bend the bald bearded man's sword, which had fallen to the ground. The bald bearded man's face instantly turned pale.
[D * mn it! Remember this!"
The two of them left the scene after saying this sentence like a hooligan. He was really looking for trouble. Don't get drunk in broad daylight.
" Hey, are you okay with this?"
"Ah, no problem. I'm not hurt.」
"No, that's not what I meant... Those guys are from Steel Tooth and Viper, right? I'm worried that they'll bring people to take revenge on you.」
[Steel Teeth]? [Viper]? What was that? After asking the other party, it turned out that they were all famous adventurer teams in this area. I didn't know anything…After all, we don't interact with other teams often. We won't drink in the bar either. Does this mean that we don't communicate with people through alcohol? It was said that the members of Steel Tooth were almost all blue adventurers, and the level of Viper was the same as them. We are still green level, so both teams are higher level than us. Based on the points accumulated from completing the mission, the guild level will rise from black, purple, green, blue, red, silver, gold, and so on. Although the higher the level, the harder it was to level up. Almost no one had ever advanced from Silver to Gold. In this world, there was only one Gold grade adventurer. It was said that the points needed to advance from red to silver were extraordinary. Therefore, when adventurers reached the red level, they would be called first-class adventurers. Blue, who was one level lower than Red, was a veteran adventurer.……He didn't know that those two people were so high-leveled. After all, they were so vulnerable. However, having a high level did not mean that they were powerful. The other party should not have the time to take revenge. The disputes between adventurers are a common occurrence, and I didn't cause them to be seriously injured. At this moment, I was still thinking so easily, but…
"Mr. Yan Yi, what exactly did you do?」
The next day, after Elsa, Linz also "felt unwell", so I, Yomina, and Musashi headed to the East Forest to deal with the crusade. The target is a Wind Fox. We have to defeat a fox that can control the mausoleum.(It's obviously a fox, but it can control the mausoleum. What's going on?) (Note: The demonic wind that can injure people can leave long wounds on the human body as if they were cut by a sickle, but it will not cause pain or blood.) According to folk legends, it was basically a trick used by the weasel monster known as the 'mausoleum'.）
We successfully defeated the fox and cut off its tail. Just as we were about to go home, several fiendish adventurers surrounded us.
[Yo, thanks for taking care of me yesterday?]」
" Ah…according to my speculation, because I made you lose face yesterday, you brought a large number of accomplices to take revenge? How childish and shameful."
[Shut up! If we let you look down on us like this, it will be a loss to our dignity! We have to end this!"
The man standing around the bald bearded man smiled evilly and raised his weapon. There were quite a number of them. Two, four, six, eight…a total of nine people. It seemed that the group of 'Steel Teeth' was quite large.
[You actually found so many people to attack people who have a grudge with you. Men like you, no, humans like you, can be classified as scum.] Mr. Yan Yi, what do you plan to do?」
Yumina really didn't hesitate to say those nasty words. The bald bearded man and the others did not expect to be looked down upon by a twelve-year-old girl, but their faces turned red with anger. However, Yu Meina was surprisingly calm. I thought she would be scared. As expected of the princess of a country.
"Now, it's considered self-defense. As long as we don't kill them, it doesn't matter if we're a little more ruthless, right?」
Musashi unsheathed his sword and flipped the blade.
'Steel Teeth' also took this as a signal to start the war and attacked us together. You Meina quickly shot an arrow through the right arm of one of the men who attacked us. [Huh!?] When his weapon fell to the ground, I approached him in one breath and touched his body with my fingertips.
[Paralysis.]
[Woah!?]
The magic made his body unable to exert any strength, and he fell to the ground on the spot.
[Bastard!]
A man holding a hatchet in both hands swung his proud weapon vigorously, but his technique was not fluent at all. Because I always trained with Musashi, the man's movements seemed slow. I took advantage of the gap and gently punched his chest, activating the paralysis spell. Just like the man just now, this person also fell to the ground weakly. Paralysis was a convenient spell that could make the enemy lose their ability to attack. However, this spell also had its flaws. First of all, the caster must be in contact with the other party's body. Assuming that the other party had an amulet that weakened the effect of the spell, no matter how strong or weak the amulet was, it would not be able to activate the spell. However, even amulets with the lowest effect were quite expensive, so there were not many people who had them.
"Earth, dig up the surface, the abyss of fools, fall into a trap.」
[Waaa」
[Aiyayay」
He turned around and saw that Mina was using Earth Magic to create a hole in the ground. Judging from the wail of the other party when he fell, the hole seemed to be very deep…Is there a problem?
My opponent, Musashi, has used the back of his sword to take down two people and is currently fighting another person. At this point in time, including the bald bearded man, there were only three people left in Steel Tooth. The advantage of being the majority had disappeared.
[How, how is this possible…!] We're blue level adventurers! Why did you lose to this little brat…"
So what if it was upgraded to blue grade? I don't know how many years these uncles have been adventurers, but they only rose in level because they have been in office for a long time, right? If he worked with many people to complete a simple mission, even if the points he obtained were not high, he could still ensure his own safety. On the other hand, if they wanted to rise to a higher level, this method would not work. Well, that meant that level and power had nothing to do with each other, at least for adventurers below Red level. If you want to climb up, you must have the strength equivalent to your level.
[Gah!?]
[Mwah!?]
Musashi knocked down two more people, and now only the bald bearded man was left.
[How troublesome. You guys call yourselves adventurers, right? He actually did such a thing. Don't you feel ashamed?」
"It's so noisy! He was clearly a little brat, but he was actually so arrogant! Bastard, I will kill him one day…!」
" Enough, don't argue. Paralysis."
[Woo-!?]
Musashi shifted his gaze elsewhere and muttered to himself with a blushing face.
"Is that so? These people were planning to attack us together. Since that's the case, they should be prepared to be treated like this.」I erected nine pillars beside the road leading to Rethagan, stripped the men of Steel Tooth naked, and tied them upside down to the pillars. In order for them to introduce themselves properly, I set up a board with the words "We are the adventurer team 'Steel Teeth' recruiting members."
With a click, I used the smart PIDIDI camera program to take a picture of the scene and transferred it to the paper. When I showed the transferred picture to the group of " Steel Teeth " people, they bit their lips, tears streaming down their faces, and muttered something. " If you have anything to do with me in the future, I will spread these pictures in the towns near Rethagan. No, I will even spread them to the capital. If it doesn't matter, then come and attack me. When the time comes, the punishment I'll prepare will make you think that what you're doing now is just a side dish. Hehe."
"…If you do it again, I'll cut off your front ends with a blade, okay?」
After I said that, one of them peed his pants. As I tied him to the pillar with his head down, the excrement that flowed down gradually dirtied his body. Yumina and Musashi did not want to see such a scene, so they kept their backs to the group. Even so, they seemed to know what was happening behind them.
[You're really merciless. Is there a need to go to this extent?]」
"If I don't do this, these guys will attack my weakness later. For example, kidnapping you and using you as hostages. I definitely won't let them do this. I have to take advantage of this moment to defeat them.」
This dispute started because of me, so I can't cause trouble for Meina and the others. They might attack my important companions, so of course I won't show mercy. Grandpa once taught me,
[Since we've decided to defeat the other party, we have to do it thoroughly.]
…Wait a minute. It wasn't just them. There was another team. I remember that they were called "Vipers", could it be…"Oh, a portal!」
Oh, you're back. You must be very fast."
[What exactly is going on?」
[We only dealt with them a little, and they collapsed. How useless. You can still be an adventurer like this."
Speechless, we looked at the members of the " Viper " who were lying on the ground. I didn't expect the two uncles to be so skilled in martial arts. I was shocked. Both of them were tall and sturdy. Perhaps it was because they ran hotels and weapon houses and often had to deal with boorish men with rough personalities, so if they were not tough, they would not be able to do this.
"Mr. Yan Yi, why are they here to pick a fight?」
" Ah... They attacked me because they hate me. It seems that they want to take Elsa and Lyndsay as hostages..."
"What? These guys are just a bunch of scum. If I had known earlier, I would have let them suffer a little more.」
After Mr. Dolan clicked his tongue, Miss Meixia walked out of the hostel. She didn't look too happy. That was true. After all, there was such a person who collapsed in front of his shop.
"Ah ~ Seriously, these people are such an eyesore. Mr. Yan Yi, you must help me get rid of them." This matter has something to do with you, right?"
"Ah, yes. I'll do it immediately."
It wouldn't be a good idea to go against Miss Miyatsu now. After I noticed this, I used my power to increase the number of men on the ground and threw them into the teleportation gate one by one. I returned to the street and stripped them naked, just like how I did with the steel teeth, and tied them to the pillar upside down. At this moment, these people had already regained their consciousness and realized their shameful dressing. They found the figure of a member of the " Steel Teeth " across the street. When they saw that the other party was also hanging upside down from a pillar naked like them, their faces turned pale. I also set up a board and took pictures with PIDIDI. After threatening them to spread these pictures, I left them where they were. They seemed to be crying, but who cared about them? They had better reflect on themselves. Later, I heard that Mr. Dolan and Mr. Baral were adventurers for a while. Their final level was blue, and they did not reach red level. Moreover, the two of them had acted alone back then. I can finally understand why they are so strong. You can't judge a book by its cover…No, it should be a book by its cover…? They were the red-bearded man and the bearded man... I ignored the idiots who kept shouting and used the portal to return to Silver Moon.
"However, when Mr. Hikichi discovered that Miss Elsa and Miss Lyndsay might be in danger, his expression was really worth watching.」
"His expression is so serious that it makes me shudder.」
There was no need to mention this matter anymore. I felt as if I was sitting on pins and needles. I drank the juice in one gulp.
[What's wrong? Are you worried that we're in danger? Did it make you uneasy?"
Else approached me with a wicked smile. I say…
"Of course I'm worried. The thought of something happening to the two of you makes me restless. Fortunately, Mr. Dolan and the others are here. If those people hurt you, I will never forgive them.」
[Ah, this, this is the case…]
[Oh…]
Both of them lowered their heads, their faces red. Hmm? Did I say something strange?
"Mr. Yan Yi, if it was me and Miss Musashi who were in danger today, would you feel the same?」
[Of course! You and Musashi are my important companions. No matter what happens to you, I will save you.」[I-I see...]
[As expected of Mr. Hiko!]
Musashi also lowered his head with a red face, and Yumina looked at me with a sweet smile. What's with the atmosphere now…Forget it.
[Speaking of which, the two teams seemed to have disbanded. They flew out of the city.」
"But what you did was really despicable.」"It actually made an adult cry…I feel a little unimpressed.」
" If we were to teach those guys a lesson in a half-hearted way, they would immediately launch their foolish revenge. So, perhaps Mr. Hikoichi's actions were appropriate, but..."
[Is it really…like this?」
There was a stiff smile on her face. No, from a certain point of view, my actions were like killing the chicken to warn the monkeys…No, that doesn't sound nice…Yes, I did it to prevent such a thing from happening again…Yes, for our safety, I hurt their hearts. I definitely didn't do that.……I'm serious, okay?
