BXBX NOVEL Chapter 394 -Return to Urmut
Chapter 394 -Return to Urmut
After finishing our business in Barbra, our next destination before the capital was Ulmutt.
First of all, we went to the Demi-Human Country on behalf of Diaz, the Head of the Adventurers\' Guild in Ulmutt.
Specifically, the assignment to find a missing adventurer from the Black Cat clan. That is, Kiara.
Although I earlier took the position that Fran\'s safety is paramount, after a personal meeting with Kiara, and watching her death with my own eyes, it was impossible not to report this to Diaz.
Since the Martial Arts Tournament has not yet faded from the memory of the locals, Fran found herself in the spotlight. As we walked along the streets of the city, people constantly looked back at her. If we had stopped, they would have surrounded us. In addition, almost all of them are adventurers.
It seemed that the adventurers who had arrived in town for the Martial Arts Tournament were still there.
“Why are you looking at that girl like that?” (Adventurer 1)
“Oh, you don\'t know?” (Adventurer 2)
“I don’t.” (“Adventurer 1)
“That’s the Black Lightning Princess!” (Adventurer 2)
“Really? Her? She looks like an ordinary demi-human girl!” (Adventurer 1)
“Only because you’re a beginner…” (Adventurer 2)
Here and there, people exchanged similar statements. There is nothing to be done, a beginner cannot just look at someone and understand the true power. For a long time nothing happened, but not far from the guild, a situation occured.
“Hey girlie. Is your sword too good for a beginner?” (Adventurer 3)
“Wait, let\'s talk!” (Adventurer 4)
These are probably adventurers who have sunk to the bottom, just waiting for a chance to cheat newcomers that are heading to the guild out of their hard earned rewards.
On the surface, they look like bandits more than they do adventurers. What are these fur vests for - Are they for protection? To keep warm? Especially those three, one with a skinhead and two with Mohawks, seemed particularly unfriendly.
Unfortunately for them, they are extremely weak, to the point it’s trifling. It seems like they’ll soon turn 40, but they haven’t learnt anything… Apparently, not daring to face the dangers, they wasted away their days gambling and hunting weak animals in order to somehow live longer. In other words, these adventure seekers have neither willpower nor a vision of the future.
I wouldn’t say that that’s bad. A lot of people have become adventurers just to be able to earn a living. But if you bother others with your behaviour, then that’s another story.
“Hey, come here!” (adventurer 3)
“Quickly, I said!” (Adventurer 4)
When the men began to surround us with practised movements, luring us into an alley right next to the guild. If we were any ordinary newcomer, we most likely would not have been able to go against the crowd of strong men, and would have complied.
“Ghe-he-he, in Ulmutt, it looks like there are plenty of small fries.” (Adventurer 3)
“Yah. Hey, what’s holding you up?!” (Adventurer 5)
“Come over here fast!” (Adventurer 4)
When Rumina, the Dungeon Master of the Ulmutt dungeon, helped Fran evolve, she used up her dungeon’s powers, and thanks to that the rating of the dungeon itself fell. Along with that, the rank of the monsters that emerge from there fell, and with this the extraction of trophies and materials from them.
As a result, the income of the guild and its adventurers fell, so to compensate for the losses, the guild began inviting newcomers to this place. …And these idiots are waiting for them here, like some kind of prey.
“Hey girl! what took you so lo-- ugh!” (Adventurer 3)
“Oi you! Sto-- gah!” (Adventurer 4)
“HEY, yo-- gah!” (Adventurer 5)
It\'s good that Fran is in a good mood right now. She just decided to hit everyone at once. And all because she ate well before she came to town. If she had been in a bad mood, then she might have used me.
These men were already lying on the ground, spitting blood.
“You seem to have overdid it a little…” I said.
“Nn. A little.” (Fran)
Fran planned to let them get off with one or two broken bones, but it looks like she ended up breaking 4-5 ribs each, damaging internal organs at the same time. Apparently she got a little nervous and didn\'t hold back.
Although, it seems like the first one got a little bit more of a beating than the third. Perhaps the third one has a slightly better skill control. She wounded the first at 80% of his life, and the third at 70%.
She only planned for them to pass out, and not receive such injuries. A complete failure on her part. But I am the type of person who loves to praise more than scold.
“The third one survived it a little better than the others, right?” (Master)
“Nn. Be fine. Probably.” (Fran)
Instead of pointing out her flaws, it\'s best to praise her. And why do so many idiots still come at us? Although, if it happens it a hundred times more, it would be a good skill control training for Fran.
Oh well, let’s let it be. Adventurers are everywhere. Rumours are scattered at the expense of time.
Apparently, having heard the noise outside, someone left the guild.
“Hey, what\'s all this noise?” (Elsa)
“Elsa?” (Master)
“Mm? Who’s that? Fran! Long time no see!” (Elsa)
A sturdy man emerged from the building, who might have been called a macho if not for his permanent red Afro hairstyle and thick layer of makeup. And these tight clothes too.
It was B rank adventurer Baldy… Or rather, Elsa.
Despite the fact that he was a macho man with a feminine manner, his strength was really worth reckoning with. Considering that A Rank Adventurers and above are already considered superhuman heroes, Elsa easily towered above most adventurers.
In addition, despite her appearance, she was quite caring, and helped Fran often.
Not that it will atone for her perverted trans-bi-masochistic aura that she is spreading around her, though!
“I am soooo~ glad that we met again!” (Elsa)
“Nn. Diaz, is here?” (Fran)
“Yes, he’s in the building. But those guys on the ground, have they really done something to offend you?” (Elsa)
“Nn.” (Fran)
“Well, the fact that they can not understand who’s standing in front of them… it\'s nothing but their own fault! Okay. Eric, Kane. (Elsa)
“Yes!” (Eric)
“What?” (Kane)
“Can you throw these guys into the infirmary with the others for me? I have a conversation with Fran-chan.” (Elsa) --Note: Leaving in “chan” for character effect--
“Got it!” (Eric)
“Understood!” (Kane)
As always, the adventurers in this city obey Elsa without a second thought. However, I can understand why they do not want to contradict her. Under the gaze of onlookers, by order of Elsa, they took on these idiots and carried them away somewhere.
“So, you have some business with the guild head?” (Elsa)
“Nn.” (Fran)
“Heeee~~, of course, he’s always sitting in his office, but right now he’s talking with grandfather Aurel. Can you wait a bit? From what I hear, they haven\'t finished yet.” (Elsa)
“I need to talk to Aurel as well.” (Master)
“Mm? Is that so? Then I can ask if Fran can join.” (Elsa)
“Yes, please do.” (Master)
“Aha. All for the sake of Fran-chan!” (Elsa)
Before leaving, Elsa couldn’t resist giving Fran a wink. Ooooh, I haven\'t been thrown into such cold for a long time! I shuddered a little.
“What is it, Master?” Fran asked.
“Fran, you yourself did not feel anything just now?” (Master)
“Just now?” (Fran)
“Nevermind. Pay no attention.” (Master)
Oh, it\'s hard for me to bear Elsa.
