Chapter 68 - Volume 2 Chapter 29 (1/2)

––Raust—

「Are you fucking kidding me? Why should I listen to the instruction of a woman who can’t even fight!」

When I arrived at the adventurer guild with Master and the others, I saw an adventurer yelling at Laila-san and Armia and a crowd of adventurers surrounding the three.

Noticing the yelling adventurer was from the party we had a history with, the leader of War God’s Greatsword, I understood the general situation.

The man had quite a high self-esteem, as evidenced by his resentment and how he tried to drive me out of the city because of the jealousy he felt as I overtook him.

He probably didn’t like that Laila-san was trying to lead the adventurer instead of himself and complained.

Armia stood in front of the man to protect Laila-san, but because of her size, she looked like being protected by Laila-san instead.

Laila-san, without being overwhelmed by the leader of War God’s Greatsword, firmly replied,

「I’m representing Zieg. Do you have any problem with that? Or, are you saying YOU can beat Zieg, a guild agent?」

「Hahh? Why the fuck are you borrowing authority from a man who left and hasn’t come back? In the first place, in this situation, isn’t it normal that I, a first-class adventurer, take charge, instead of leaving it to a newcomer.」

However, that didn’t make the man withdraw. He touched the handle of his greatsword and started yelling.

That Laila and Armia were women and War God’s Greatsword had been a first-class adventurer in Labyrinth City for a long time made the other adventurers leaning more toward War God’s Greatsword.

Seeing that, Narsena opened her mouth, upset.

「That’s…! He wasn’t this opposed when I was here!」

「Don’t worry about it, Narsena. That guy probably acted out after no one stronger than him was around.」

「Onii-san……」

I was exasperated at the man who, despite this situation, thought only of himself.

To be honest, that man, the leader of the War God’s Greatsword, didn’t have the ability to lead the adventurers in this situation.

It was true that War God’s Greatsword had been living in Labyrinth City as first-class adventurers, they got the skills, but that was it. That didn’t mean they know how to lead a large number of people.

Nonetheless, the man who was only craving for the limelight and turned on Laila-san was just plain unpleasant.

It seemed Master also thought the same.

「Stupid disciple, shut that adventurer mouth for a bit…… before Zieg kills him.」

Master said that with a disgusted expression. When I looked back, Zieg-san, in response to Master’s words, put his hand on his magic sword.

At this rate, Zieg-san will kill the man.

As long as such a person is still a valuable asset, it will be better if I shut him up.

Judging that, I strengthened my body and started running.

Immediately I closed the distance to the yelling man.

「Just Look around! Everyone also agrees that I’m better than women like you!」

Laila-san and the other adventurers around immediately noticed me, but the leader of War God’s Greatsword, who shouted in a frenzied voice, was totally unaware of my presence behind him.

Without hesitation, I kicked the man’s crotch from behind.

「If you understand, then soon, with me…… Hokyo-!?」

………The next moment, his words cut short and the man stopped moving.

「hngg————!」

After a beat, the man let out an inaudible scream with a pale face. The adventurers around him, especially the men, showed pained expression at the sight.

But I still didn’t stop.

The man was still conscious, as I hadn’t hurt him so much that he couldn’t fight.

However, Master ordered me to shut him up. As he was still conscious, I couldn’t say I achieved that goal.

Based on that, I grabbed the back of his head while he was still screaming.

At that moment, his face distorted as he foresaw what would happen to him.

It was as if he was begging for mercy, mournfully.

Ignoring that, I slammed the man’s face on the ground.

「Bugh-!」

There was the sound of a broken nose and his power completely drained from his body.

After confirming that, I took my hand off the back of the man’s head and stood up.

I don’t hold a grudge over being oppressed in the past.
