Interlude 3 - The Banished Wood-Upper
The Kingdom of Grandsword is a country that contains the Labyrinth of No Return.
Adventurers come here from all over the world, but most of them are either unknown one-hit wonders, or just misfits who are not adventurers at all.
It was one of these adventurers that we, the Black Cat of the Wind, came across.
「Hey, Alec, I know it's weird to ask this after I invited you, but what's going on with you today? I can't believe you're going shopping with me.」
A beautiful girl walking next to me asked me, her voice buzzing. Her long red hair is pulled back into a ponytail, and she's dressed in a way that hides her large breasts and buttocks, which have grown up in a naughty selfish way.
「Who knows. I just thought it would be nice for a change. Not that there's anything wrong with that.」
「I wonder if that's true. What do you think, Meena?」
Serina seemed suspicious and asked the white-haired girl walking to my left. Today, Meena is still clean, healthy and beautiful, with good fur on her ears and tail.
「My though it is? That's my master there, I'm sure he doesn't lie in his words. If there's a reason, he'll be able to tell you clearly. ......」
「Maybe it's a reason he can't tell me?」
「I don't know. I can't think of a situation like that. ...... But I think that since Serina-san has asked master out so many times, he must have been trying to be thoughtful once in a while. I'm sure he's a sweetheart at heart.」
「I hope so.」
「You'd better stop looking at other people with twisted suspicion, Serina.」
「I think it was someone else who made me do that.」
Serina shrugged her shoulders and said that.
There are a few things that come to mind - but I don't regret them. It's hard to believe that a flower garden JK could have lived in this harsh medieval European style world while remaining pure. In exchange for the JK's virginity, Serina gained the skills and experience to protect herself, let's just say.
「So Serina, the restaurant you're taking me to today...」
I was about to ask about the restaurant, when I heard a thud from behind me, and the three of us checked the source of the sound.
「*vroom-vroom-vroom-vroooom*! Paparaparaparapara~! Out of the way, out of the way. This cool lady, Plum Woodupper, is coming through. Get the hell out of the way! You're being very inconsiderate! You bastard!」
A plump, middle-aged woman, riding a red-scarred Koobo (bird) was forcing her way through the traffic, screaming noisily.
「What's with that running nuisance?」
「That's terrible. It's not a matter of traffic rules or anything like that.」
「She's a troublemaker. ...... Is she an adventurer?」
All three of us are stunned by how little we know.
I thought she might be a hitman, but I guess those people hit people for money, not bump into a bunch of people at random and then walk right past them without giving them a fight.
「Ouch, bitch, watch out!」
「Ow! Hey, what the hell were you thinking!?」
「Damn, what the hell was that?」」
The adventurers, of whom there were many in Grandsword, were bewildered. For the adventurers who are used to the rough stuff, but for the ordinary farmers and townspeople who live a serious life, it's just a matter of crying themselves to sleep.
「They're coming this way.」
「All right, let's stop that thing, Serina, Meena.」
「Okay, let's do it.」
「Understood, master!」
I stop in the middle of the road and wait for the woman on the Koobo to come to me.
「Vroom-vroom-vroom-vroooom! Paparaparaparapara~!Hey, you three, get out of my way. Can't you see you're in my way!?」
「Shut up. If you want to get through here, you're gonna have to avoid me.」
「Ha! Are you trying to stop the Fast Lady, Plum Woodupper? You've got some nerve. Not bad.」
I've seen this type of Koobo rider before, but why do they insist on being the fastest? No, It's okay to be obsessed with being the fastest, but the kind of stupidity that involves unrelated people in the game needs to be disciplined.
We're in time. Just when we're ready to take her down...
「I'll show you. Career development skills 【Cloud cover!】」
「Murghh?」「Ah」「Eehhh!?」
In an instant, the middle-aged woman riding a Koobo disappeared. Along with the Koobo.
「No, you didn't even cover your tracks. There!」
「You can't hide the smell either! There she is!」
Serina looked at the plume of dust on the ground, and Meena used her prized sense of smell to detect where the other party was.
「Stupid, you thought that would be enough to stop this running bulldozer, Plum-Woodupper! You little bitches!」
Saying that, a middle-aged woman threw something from the top of the Koobo.
「Kuhh!」「Aah!」
A brown powder flew around, and it looked like pepper or some kind of irritant, and it stung my eyes.
「Damn, it's blinding. But did you really think you could blind me with that!?」
That's right, this is where my specialty skill, 【Peeping Tom】 comes into play.
It is a skill that allows you to see under any circumstances.
When I saw her flabby arms and stinky armpits, which made me feel a little disgusted, but I held back to vomiting and caught her.
「Aahhh! Th-that can't be. Let go of me. That's sexual harassment! Sexual harassment!」
「Shut up. You attacked me with a blindfold first, how can you be so cynical? Then let's get out of here. We're going to the Adventurer's Guild.」
She's like this anyway. She must be a have bounty on her head or have had her adventurer's card revoked. If she's not an adventurer, it should be impossible for her to carry around a weapon to show off, according to the laws of this country.
「Hey, don't messing around with me.」
「You're the one who's messing around.」
「That's right. Follow us quietly. It's for your own good.」
Serina said in a naive way.
The middle-aged woman was still resisting, but we've been through many deaths in the Labyrinth of No Return. We dragged her by force to the adventurer's guild.
「Hey, hey, hey! We don't want any trouble or rough stuff here!」
The guild staff looked at me and said with a frown. I didn't care, I turned the woman in.
「It's a certain Plum. Check her carefully. She must have some kind of criminal record.」
「Hmm? Ah, Plum-Woodupper!」
I knew it. Apparently, she was such a troublemaker that the guild staff remembered her name.
「Nice work catching her. Hey, take this woman into custody! You can't just suspend her card this time. Revoked her adventure card!」
A backup officer came from the back and tied the rope on the middle-aged woman.
「What do you mean, "revoked"!? Let go of me! What have I done! There are many people who support me as a clean adventurer of Grandsword!」
A certain Plum was dragged away while screaming. However, not a single adventurer agreed with her, and the adventurers around her looked amazed.
「If I had been here, knowing nothing about it, I might have found out what was going on, but ...... it seems she had a very bad reputation.」
Serina said, crossing her arms.
「It seems so. ...... Well, she was just as you can see. Was there really anyone who would support her?」
Meena also twisted her head.
「There can't be. ...... No, there must have been some of her kind. Don't worry about that. It's not worth thinking about.」
「That's about right, master」
「All right, then, let's get ourselves together and go to the store.」
「Aye!」「Yes, master!」
The Kingdom of Grandsword is noisy again today, but with one less villain, it looks like it's going to be a peaceful holiday for us.
We left the adventurer's guild in high spirits.
