Chapter 72 - The Guild Ball (Part 2) (1/2)

Nathan Dubois, a Class-D adventurer, was looking for spaces to pass between the many guests in the main hall of the castle. Meanwhile, he continued to stare at his two targets.

'Ah! If I can touch my hand to the smaller one, he will surely cry while begging me to let go. Haha!' He thought, staring at Luke, who was also staring at him.

However, just as people recognized him and commented on him, they also recognized other famous adventurers in town.

”Hey, isn't that the only Rank-C Berserker in Vasconcelos?”

”Wow, that's him! Shiro is his name... Man, I hear he's surreal at battling!”

”But has he retired? It's been a good few months since I've heard from him.”

”I don't know... but from the looks of it, he must be working for the Strogueher's.” A boy commented, pointing to the big guy next to Nathalia and Ayumi.

These comments made Mr. Dubois feel a little less motivated to move on, however, with a glance to the second floor, he realized that the girls and their friends were watching him intently.

'Fuck... I'm already in the way anyway. But... he's a Rank-C... Okay, Berserker's a problem, but the other one's probably just a rabble anyway.' The idiot thought, continuing to walk after a brief moment of hesitation.

Ayumi Strogueher was the last to notice the man's aggressive look, and without difficulty deduced that he wanted to show off somehow.

It was not an uncommon thing for people to come to the Matriarch to introduce themselves, flirt, or even fight, so her evasive skills were more than trained for this kind of situation.

As soon as she got him within five feet, Ayumi grabbed Luke's left arm and squeezed her breasts into the half-wolf's body. This made her feel nervous, after all she, like Luke, preferred a more discreet relationship.

Nathalia saw this and was confused. Shiro almost didn't believe it either.

'You're with the mother, the daughter, and the maid? What are you, Luke?' he thought, his eyes popping out.

Alexis couldn't help but chuckle wryly and turned away from the confusion that would soon form.

The man, who had a bold smile on his face, was dumbfounded and wondered:

'WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? HE IS... HIS SON, RIGHT?' Luke did not have the slightest trace of a nobleman, much less an Elf. His face, although quite handsome, had no sign of any skincare, something that was normal among nobles.

Many of the people around were also not expecting the sudden tug that Ayumi made, and so the numerous whispers became even more intense and spread throughout the party.

”W-what are you doing?” Luke whispered to Ayumi.

”I don't know...we're just going to go with that flow...grab me too.” She dared.

”I grab you? In the middle of everyone? V- have you gone crazy?”

The woman didn't answer, just smiled as they all looked at her.

'Ah, whatever!' Luke thought and then grabbed the woman's other arm.

Now that they were facing each other, Luke slowly slid his hand down the Matriarch's arm, from her shoulder to her right palm.

Coincidentally, the singer started singing again at the same second of the tug. ”I can hear the wind go by. Watch the wave crash. But the damage it does, Life's too short to see~ ????”

The people, who were startled to see the respectable Matriarch Strogueher with such an indigent man, now judged both of them with stern looks, however, for the half-wolf and the Elf, a small world made just for the two began to emerge.
