116 Recruitmen (1/2)

-Order of Light-

Isn't this a bit fast for a progress? Meeting him now while I'm weak and vulnerable... I shouldn't be hasty. Revenge will come later. For now, I have to see if I really can beat him someday. He doesn't look that bad as the last time I saw him. Maybe he tidied up his hair or something.

”Akko, you brought a cute girl!” This blonde guy hastily approached me! Is this what they call a pervert?!

”Don't get too scared, my lady. I'm just a humble man waiting for his princess.” Stop winking your eyes... It's really weird.

”Stop that, you are creeping out the little girl.” Why do they think I'm a little girl? I'm already eighteen!

”...” The small girl, on the other hand, just looked away like she doesn't care about me...

”Hey Akko, I won't disagree with your decision bringing her here but I can see that she's just a lowbie... What could she possibly do to help us?” The Scythus guy is right. What could I possibly...

”She could be a bait for our hunts, right? If they can see delicious helpless food, they will show up in no time.” Are you mad? You will just let me get killed for you guys to get what you want? I really don't think this guy would...

”That's a nice idea Akko! Welcome, welcome! What was your name again?” The way this group thinks is really weird!

”It's Zia. Mr. Scythus.” Then they suddenly looked at me with suspicious glare! Did I say something wrong?!

”How did you know that his name is Scythus? We only used Scy earlier. Are you some kind of spy from the Order of Light Guild?” Akko changed her attitude after that. She wasn't as calm as earlier. Do they really hate that guild?

”I... I... watched the tournament from our TV and I thought that Scythus and Scy are the same people...” I really panicked.

”It's alright Akko. I can see that she's telling the truth. I have the ability to see if someone is lying. (No he doesn't.)” What?! This guy can do something like that?!

”So why did you only start the game today when the game was already released a year ago?” If he can really tell if I'm lying or not, I will have to gamble.

”I don't have the money to buy the console and today I bought one.” You like tricks huh! Let's see about that.

”I know you are lying. But I really don't care. (What a lucky hunch!)” How did he know that I was lying! Am I that easy to read?!

”Anyway, we have a badge as a sign of membership. Here you go, Zia.” He gave me a simple badge with a drawing of some kind of character on it.

”It means Life,” They don't look like bad people... so I would probably stay with them for a couple of days.

After all that, Miss Akko introduced her friends to me and I also introduced myself again. Do they just stay here the whole time? It's been hours since we stayed here and they've done nothing but to idle around.

”Ok, it's time. Lili, it's your turn to look for a recruit.” Scy suggested. Lili is the little one with a snobby attitude. I hope she doesn't bite me or something.

”Do I really have to?...” Oh! She talked!

”Of course you have to... also bring Zia so both of you could get to know each other,” Akko... please no... You're leaving me with a little girl? What if those scary guys show up again?!

”Jeez... Hurry up and let's go...” Lili just pouted. I followed her as they ordered... as if I have a choice...
