44-In the tavern (2/2)

She has a strong sense of responsibility and is kind-hearted enough to be there for others, but she is not strict enough to discipline others.

She indulges them too much.

This is where people like Spinoza take advantage of him.

”Let's go back to the barracks. I've got to report to Commander Bolton. Hey. How long are you drinking? Let's go.

I pull Spinoza's arm to stand him up. Just as I was about to leave the tavern with Seira and Fumm.

Boom!

I heard what sounded like an explosion from out front.

”......?

We gasped and went outside the store to see what was going on.

People from the city were running away. As we followed the flow, we looked to the right of the street and saw a huge man screaming and raging.

He was swinging his arms like logs, destroying everything in sight.

I don't think he's drunk.

Something is wrong with him.

He's definitely out of his mind, but his strength is uncommon. It's as if the shackles of humanity have been removed...

”Mr. Zeke!　Look at him!　His eyes are red!

Seira pointed and shouted.

The eyes of the rampaging man were familiar.

It was .......

It was similar to the one that appeared when Nahat fell to the demons.

You mean he's also fallen to the demons?

How could he do this to ...... me?

The man beside me had a pale expression on his face.

What do you know about him?

”Me and him are drinking buddies. We were having a nice lunch earlier. We were having a nice lunch, and then he suddenly changed and went berserk. ......

Then the guy said, as if he remembered.

That's right. He had been drinking wine. He drank the whole bottle and after a while his eyes started to turn red.

”Oh, come on. You can't drink alcohol and get drunk.

Spinoza. That's very convincing coming from you.

But that's not a drunken rampage. ...... Maybe there was something in the drink?

What do you mean, like ...... some kind of weird drug?

That's a possibility.

I don't know if that's the direct cause, but I'll have to look into it later.

Either way, it's going around destroying the city. We can't leave it like that. The moment I turned my feet toward the man to stop him.

Spinoza held out his hand to block my path.

”General. I'll take care of this. I just wanted to sober up. I'll do the work I skipped.

Are you gonna be okay on your own?

Don't underestimate him. Don't underestimate me. I can take on a small fish like that with one arm.

With that, Spinoza snapped her fingers and walked toward the rampaging man. Her gait was a bit staggered.

The man's eyes caught sight of Spinoza's approaching form. He found a new target to destroy and came at her with a beastly yell.

A heavy blow from his log-like arm.

But Spinoza catches it easily with one hand. The upset man tries to push his fist in, but it doesn't budge.

”Huh. That's not much. That's not much. You got balls?　Oh well. Now it's my turn.

Spinoza snorted and swung his free right arm.

The man sensed the danger and tightened his guard with both arms.

The next moment.

”Oraaaaaaah!

With a shout from the man, a straight right hand with all his strength went through the man's guard like a bullet and hit him in the face.

It was a blow that concentrated all of his strength into a single point.

The man's body slammed into the stone wall as if he had been hit. As he fell to the ground, he blew bubbles with the whites of his eyes.

”d*mn. In the end, I used both my arms.

Spinoza clicked his tongue briefly and spat on the ground.

”Well, but it's done.

She then turned to me and chuckled.

Ms. Spinoza, you're amazing. ......!

”You fight like a savage. You're like a gorilla.

Seira looks at him with envy, and Fam mutters in disgust.

He's always late in the morning, and he's always skipping his rounds.

In addition, he's an alcoholic and a gambler.

The reason why she is still in the guard is because of her undeniable ability, although she would be fired immediately if she were not.
