The Villainous Me Turned the Losers into Blackened Bosses-Chapter 151 - The Radiant Knight

—

Will wanted to curse the captain who had shot the dying boss at such a critical moment.

But looking at the face of this “good captain,” he found himself at a loss for words.

Because…

Awkwardly enough, the captain looked too “pure.”

He wore a black uniform and a matching military cap, but the outfit didn’t resemble traditional Entark military attire—it looked more like “cosplay.”

In his hand was a silver musket—at this point in time, this could only be a trophy dug up from a dungeon.

His short, golden hair gave him a clean-cut appearance, and he looked slightly older than Will, with a face that would be adored by schoolgirls.

But…

His expression made him look like a complete idiot.

Where did this golden-haired, dumb knight character come from?!

As the saying goes, you can’t hit a smiling face…

Looking at his face and expression, Will felt he genuinely came to rescue them.

However…

This character felt very “familiar,” as if he had appeared in the original story?

“Are you injured? Over here, we have the best priests. If it’s just some burns, they’ll heal quickly.”

For example, right now…

He really seemed to think he was here to rescue them!

“Uh… actually, we…”

Will started to explain but was stopped by Shuna stepping in front of him.

As she did, Shuna discreetly tossed the box into the still-dissolving body of the boss, where it hadn’t fully turned into loot yet.

Since she did it behind her back, only Will could see it.

“No need for that. I can handle some basic priest skills.”

Will felt…

Shuna seemed particularly annoyed upon seeing this person, like a cat that had been provoked.

She watched the golden-haired idiot with intense wariness.

“Could it be… you’ve already defeated the boss or got it down to low health?”

“Yes, just as you thought.”

Shuna deliberately positioned herself to block his view of the box at her feet.

As she did this, she gave Will a knowing look.

Will was momentarily confused.

But since she had thrown the box on the ground…

And was now giving this person a hostile look…

Will understood.

Although he didn’t know why she was so hostile towards this person…

He trusted Shuna’s instincts more than his own.

If Shuna wanted to hide the box and take it as loot, they needed to make the other party…

Give up the loot.

The best way to do that was to put the other party at a disadvantage.

“We worked hard to get him down to near death—”

Will deliberately scraped his arm against a nearby rock, creating a small wound.

After all…

It would look too fake if they stood there cleanly claiming to have defeated the boss.

“Look, it was a tough fight. And now you come in and steal our credit?!”

He showed the wound.

“Alright…”

The captain sighed.

He placed his hand over his heart and bowed deeply to the two of them in apology.

“I, Liber, on behalf of the ‘Radiant Knights,’ apologize to you. Please understand… we were truly in a rush to rescue, given it’s the first time we’ve seen even the rescue teams get trapped inside, with reinforcements unable to get out…”

“It’s not that we can’t understand. But… since you made a mistake…”

Shuna sheathed her dagger.

Will understood Shuna’s cue. Now was the time to press the advantage!

He spoke up:

“Ahem, we should be compensated. For example… the loot from this dungeon?”

According to the Adventurer’s Guild rules, if multiple teams cleared a dungeon without prior agreement, the loot had to be split.

But Shuna and Will clearly didn’t want the other party to see the loot.

“Loot…”

Liber looked past them at the now-vanished boss of the Ironfire Bastion. The loot seemed to be just a pile of red iron chunks—fitting the “Iron Bastion” name.

“Oh, I understand. The Radiant Knights came for rescue, not for the loot of a B-rank dungeon. You can take it all as our apology.”

He finished speaking.

He flashed a perfect, radiant smile and bowed again.

“I hope this leaves you with a good impression, rather than ruining a romantic two-person dungeon adventure.”

He conceded quickly.

Will and Shuna were both taken aback—oh, and they realized he might have mistaken them for a couple on a dungeon date?!

While dungeons were now even considered “tourist attractions,” it wasn’t uncommon for couples to go on dungeon dates… so his misunderstanding was quite normal.

More importantly, his concession and wording were very skillful.

Radiant Knights… Will remembered, they were a somewhat famous adventurer team.

Who was he? He looked barely older than Will but had a mature way of handling things, and his team was strong.

Most importantly…

Will felt an inexplicable familiarity with him.

“Alright, we’ll accept your apology.”

Shuna crossed her arms, still playing the “bad cop.”

“And your injuries…”

“This…”

Hearing this, Shuna roughly grabbed Will’s arm and licked the small cut he had just made.

Unlike Eir’s gentle, dog-like licks, Shuna’s tongue felt aggressive, and it hurt a bit as it brushed over the wound.

Wait?!

What was Shuna doing?!

Will tried to keep a calm expression, his pupils dilating as he watched Shuna bend down and then look up, her pink tongue still teasing his arm.

“We don’t want outsiders handling this. Right?”

Shuna smiled for the first time since Liber entered.

“Dear~?”

!!!

Will’s brain kicked into high gear, and he understood Shuna’s intention—

Since Liber mistook them for a couple, and the wound was freshly made, they had to play along to avoid suspicion.

Moreover, being so intimate would likely make the other party leave sooner out of embarrassment.

As expected of Shuna! She quickly thought of this solution!

“Right!”

Will was delighted, deciding to play along. He extended his arm further, bringing it closer to her mouth!

“Then, I’ll leave it to you. Dear…”

Oops, the last few words sounded a bit unnatural…

“Okay. Have a nice day, you two.”

Liber bowed again, then turned and left with the twenty-plus rescue team members.
