To Deprive a Deprived Person-Chapter 248: Meanwhile, around that time
TDADP chapter 248: Meanwhile, around that time
「Hey, Rebecca. Even after work is done――」
「During this busy time, you bother to argue at the counter. Do you want to be blown away?」
「N, No, I didn't mean to disturb you」
「I will go there when I finished the work」
A male adventurer who has a complete honorable defeat, runs away quickly.
「Rebecca-san, I think it's okay to be a little gentler"
Collet, who is also dealing with adventurers at the counter, comments on Rebecca's attitude that there is no island to attach.
「Naive! Collet, if you have such a naive thinking, you will be violated by an adventurer like Bjorn」
「Wa, Wait, Rebecca-san! I am, vi, vi, violated......I don't know!」
「Is that right? Ah, I was able to protect my chastity with a quick break」
Rebecca is fed up with the long line in front of the counter, with a bright red face and lightly treated protesting Collet. The other day, the second floor of the Kamar City´s Adventurer's Guild was half destroyed, so now they have to deal with all the adventurers on the first floor of the Adventurer's Guild. Of course, the reception girls in charge of the second floor work on the first floor, but since the counters are shared and used, the number of people who can handle at one time will inevitably decrease.
「Medicinal plants, magic grass, crispy plants, big boes all in one――tighten up to eight gold coins, three silver coins and four half silver coins. Next one. Next one. Hey, it's crowded, so come on」
Rebecca's sense of language naturally becomes stronger because the next adventurer doesn't come at all. However, when she looks at the adventurer who still doesn't come, the male adventurer points the finger in trouble.
「What the hell is going on?」
「Here, Rebecca-neechan!」
She couldn't see the owner of the voice from the other side of the counter. When Rebecca leaned forward and looked, there was Namari with Momo on her head.
「Ah, I guess it's Namari and Momo who have half destroyed the Adventurer's Guild」
「Uggh」
Namari and Momo are frightened by Rebecca's sarcasm.
「So, what did you come for today? As you can see, I'm too busy because of someone and I don't have time to play with Namari」
「I, I didn't come to play! I'm, emm. Where was it?」
On the item pouch sewn on the overall, Namari put both hands in and took out a letter and a neatly wrapped box.
「This time, I came to the Adventurer's Guild to apologize!? I'm sorry!」
Apparently the apology was written in the letter, but it seems that some characters were unreadable. Namari and Momo bow their heads vigorously when they force their apology. Namari, who had been bowing for a while, glanced up and looked at the reactions of Rebecca and other receptionists.
「What about this box?」
「Patia's sweets」
「Patia? Isn't it a high-class sweets store on the aristocratic street. Is this an apology for causing trouble?」
「Yup!」
Rebecca looks sideways at Namari's cheerful reply.
「Anyway, I would have liked Yuu's homemade sweets」
「Well......Odono-sama, he can't make handmade sweets in such a case......」
「Na, Namari-chan, you don't have to worry! Rebecca-san!」
Collet comforts Namari, who begins to cry.
「I, I'm not going to cry! I'm a strong demi-human!!」
Momo, lying on Namari's head, pats Namari's head, saying, 「Great」.
「Well, I know you're reflecting. But what are you doing?」
「Odono-sama is going to the king to get rid of the bad guy!」
「Bad guy? Defeating the bad guys is okay, but you know that Yuu have to pay the guild´s repair costs」
「It's okay! I'm getting a lot of money! Well, I'll be fooling around with everyone, so I'll see you later!!」
「Haa? From whom......Namari, wait. The story isn't over yet」
Leaving Rebecca to call her to stop, Namari runs to the other receptionists.
「Isn't it okay? After all, Namari-chan must be fine」
「Collet is really sweet. When someone does something bad, it's your duty as an adult to scold them. Well, I don't know if Collet still wears child underwear」
「Rebecca-san!!」
After the discovery of the C-rank 『Bewitching Tree Garden Labyrinth』, many adventurers have visited Kamar City in search of precious plants such as herbs and flowers, but on the second floor of the adventurer's guild. Since it was half destroyed, all the adventurers are now gathered on the first floor and crowded with people who invite to the clan for information exchange and party recruitment. Namari, who has finished apologizing to the reception girls, runs through the floor full of people.
「Oh, it's Namari」
When Eckart, who was chatting with Lalit and others at a table, noticed Namari, he screamed with a friendly smile.
「Eckart, hello!」
On Namari's head, Momo waves both hands, saying that she is also there.
「What? You were crying till yesterday, but you´re fine now」
「I'm not crying!」
「You were crying, didn't you?」
When Lalit confirmed with Eckart and Noah, they laughed bitterly and fooled around. Looking at the men at the table, Lalit, Eckart, Noah, and other people who aren't affiliated with a clan up to this point, cant explore alone, so they are invited to form a party. There was also a figure of Tropi, the leader of 『Red Meteor』, among the three.
「It was nice to have everyone」
「Namari, is there anything else you need? If you have any problems, tell me」
Worried that there is something, Noah asked because of Namari´s absence and her not sitting on his lap first as usual.
「Noah, Lalit, Eckart are always playing with me, so Odono-sama told me to give you this. It was true that Odono-san was with me. But now he is going to the king, so I cant do it this time」
「Namari-chan, what about my name!」
Didn't she hear Tropi´s scolding? Namari puts her hand into the overall item pouch to find what she is looking for.
「That's it. I told Odono-sama and Nepora what to give you」
「Is Nepora that evil eyed woman? Namari, you're not bullied by her?」
「Nepora is very kind! Recently――here it is」
On the table, Namari arranges a bottle and some small bags.
「Lo, Look!? N, No, No way!! Firewater!! That's also the highest quality of firewater!!」
Firewater is a liquor that is said to make even demons drunk if they drink too much. Not only the price but also the fact that it is not suitable for mass production, it is difficult to obtain.
「When I said Noah loves alcohol, this was good」
「Kuuuu! You know that!! There are no demons who aren't happy with this!」
「The small bags are snacks made by Odono-sama. This is jerky, and that is a squid string. It's good if you roast it a little on fire!」
「Thank you, Namari!!」
Noah holds the bottle and rubs it against his cheek just after drooling. Seeing that joy, Namari is happy. As it is, Namari places the next item, a large item wrapped in a cloth, on the table.
「Namari, this is big」
「This is for Eckart!」
「For me?」
「Yeah! You said you wanted to eat a lot of Udon´s demon ox meat before, right? This is sirloin, this one is roasted, that is rump, it's all good! Odono-sama has been trying to make it mature over and over again, that's why I brought the most delicious parts of it」
In front of the high-quality ingredient, Udon demon ox, Eckart is likely to drool like Noah.
「Can Eckart´s house roast such large amount of meat?」
「If it's not possible, let's cook the large amount of meat at Odono´s mansion」
「If that's the case, then I'll follow you later!」
「Namari, do you know the right path?」
「Yeah! I've been with Odono-sama often, so I'll do it if you do」
「I see, then thank you」
When Eckart pats her head, Namari joyfully squints her eyes. Then, put the meat back in the item pouch so that the aged meat will not be damaged.
「Noah and Eckert both have been given a great gift」
「This is for Lalit!」
「Hmm? I get a scrap of paper......t, th, this, this is!!!」
Lalit quivers as he gazes at the rectangular paper he received from Namari.
「What the hell? What did you give me, Namari?」
「I don't really know. It's a night shop that old man Mago owns. He said you could play around ten times. Noah, what is a night shop? Have you been there before?」
「Namari, you don't have to know. Look. That pitiful face of Lalit!」
Lalit had a lewd look on his face. Lalit´s appearance was quite sloopy.
「Good grief. Without Yuu that would be impossible」
「Lalit bear that in mind when you go. If you don't need it, I will take it」
You cannot go without an introduction. Eckart tries to reach for the VIP card to Mago's night shop, but Lalit hesitates gently and puts the VIP card in a hurry in his pocket. Namari sits on Noah's lap, which is her usual position after finishing the work.
「Namari-chan, I wonder if you've forgotten something?」
「No, I don't」
Tropi with her chin on her hand, inflates her cheeks.
「There is, isn't it? You see? You've got something from Yuu-niichan, right!」
「No」
「Eh. There is! That's strange! If there's one, there's something! Give me something!」
Tropi lay down on the floor and throws a tantrum like a child. It was so impressive that both Namari and Momo were impressed.
「Na, Namari, is there really nothing for Tropii? No, I don't care, so I know」
「Mou, Tropi is selfish」
Did he feel sorry for the Tropi that showed a disgraceful behavior? When Noah asks Namari, she takes a rectangular box out of the item pouch, saying 「I can't help it」.
「Lo, Look look, that's for me, right!」
Immediately Tropi smiles and sits back on the chair.
「Odono-sama said, I shall give this when Tropi is selfish」
「Gugigii. Yuu-niichan is terrible. What's this?」
「Dorayaki! This is delicious!」 (TL note: Dorayaki is a japanese dessert consisting of two slices of sponge cake with red bean jam in between)
Momo nodded and agreed with Namari's words.
----------------------------------
「Lie」
Tropi denies with a loud voice, with red bean jam around her mouth.
「That's true! I'm not lying」
「After all, Yuu-niichan? Really?」
「Elder Sister Nina was lying and was taking a bath and sleeping with Odono-sama」
「Eh, I can't believe it」
「That's why I told you not to be tricked by older sister Nina」
「Yes. Is Yuu-niichan fooled by such a lie?」
Hearing the protests of Namari and Momo brilliantly, Tropí fills her mouth with a new dorayaki.
「What happened to Yuu-chan?」
「Eh」
Fifi stood behind Tropi. The receptionist of the adventurer's guild is not impressed that Tropi is the leader of 『Red Meteor』. As she has no interest in the feelings of Tropi who cannot hide her surprise, Fifi begins to talk.
「Tropi-san, you recently tag along Yuu-cha――Yuu Satou. I wonder if the leader of Kamar city's biggest clan, 『Red Meteor』, is not embarrassed to act like a stalker」
Lalit and others unintentionally flutter at the pressure Fifi releases. The negative emotions of a jealous and crazy woman worked with the crisis management skills she had cultivated as an adventurer.
「Fifi-san, it's a misunderstanding!」
「I wonder what's wrong」
「I'm――I just want to wash each others body with Yuu-niichan in the bath or to sleep in the same bed. Innocent desire――feeling. If its Fifi-san, you know how I feel, don't you?」
Not just Lalit and the others. Even the adventurers who were listening around were stunned by Tropi´s declaration.
「I think I was misunderstanding. I'm going to be a good friend with you」
Fifi nods many times that she can empathize with Tropi's remarks, which would normally have an aversion.
「I'm glad you understand」
When everyone couldn't understand the conversation between Fifi and Tropi, they put a tsukkomi in their minds.
「Namari, don't listen to them. These guys are rotten!」
Noah closed Namari's ear with his hands when he could not hear the conversation between the two of them, who continued to talk passionately about a boy's charm.
------------------------------------
「Hell Yori, gush forth assembling fire, hell fire that burns my enemies, 『Prison Fire』」
The 6th rank black magic released by a Arch Demon, scours the earth and approaches while burning.
「......That's where I want it」
Lena, on the other hand, also activates 『Prison Fire』. When the flames collide with each other, a huge amount of heat causes hot air to be scattered around. Originally, demons boast higher magic power and MP than humans. If its an Arch demon, there is a difference that even comparison is likely to occur.The adventurer who knows the strength of demons understands it well. No, they know it themselves. That's why people are creative. It may be strengthened with weapons, armor, and decorations, and may take into account the compatibility of magic or it may be weakened by weakening magic. Even if the same magic is used, it may be possible to respond by dealing with trouble by deploying more than one. Avoid killing properly. This is because it is not a sane thing, such as head-on collisions. But Lena was clashing with the Arch-Demon head-on with magic.
「What are you doing, Lena!」
Marifa screams unintentionally. That should be it. It was 『Prison Flame』 that was fighting each other, but apparently the 『Prison Flame』 released by Lena was beginning to be pushed back. Still, Lena doesn't activate new magic. She continued to infuse her magic powers to push back the Arch Demon's 『Prison Flame』.
「Koro-chan, Ran-chan, lets go~」
Koro and Ran bark and respond to Nina's call. First of all, Koro plunges into the Archdemon at high speed. Immediately before, when Koro roars, a flame erupts from his whole body and he wears the flame and clash with the machete of the Archdemon. If you touch it, the black air that damages your body is kicked away by Koro, who has become a mass of flames. At the moment when its thought it would hit the Archdemon as it was, a barrier blocked the progression of Koro. With a loud collision sound, Koro is played and a giant body of over 300 kilogramm dances in the air.
However, Koro´s body attack wasn't in vain. There was a big crack running in the barrier that the Archdemon unfolded. Moreover, because they are pushing against each other with 『Prison Flame』, the Archdemon cannot turn its magic power to restore the barrier.
「Ran-chan!」
It was Ran who followed. Putting lightning on its whole body, it hit the cracked area. There is a hole in the barrier so that it shatters like glass and Nina sneaks her body into it and slashes the Archdemon´s body with LV3's dagger technique, 『Rotating Flash Senkaisen』 and the Archdemon screams irresistibly. If it hurries to stop the magic power that was being poured into 『Prison Flame』, it will spend its magica power on regeneration and restoration of the barrier.
「......We could have won almost a little better」
「Where is it!」
Unable to withstand the load of magic, Lena's elbow skin was torn and bloody.
「What the hell are you thinking?」
While scolding, Marifa puts a potion on Lena's arm.
「......I'm a genius. Until now, I was able to do just that」
Enduring the desire to hit her head, Marifa listens to Lena's story.
「......But that's not enough from now on」
「Is it a magic match with a Arch Demon?」
「......I have a idea. Trust your older sister」
「The result is the same thing」
「......If left as it is, it will be left to Yuu」
「That is......」
If Lena has a reason to say something, Marifa thinks though it is during a battle.
「Lena～, help me～!」
At that time, Nina, who is fighting fiercely with the Archdemon, makes a call for support.
「......All right」
「Ah, I also――」
Lena straddles her broom and heads towards Nina. After that, Marifa tries to follow her, but――
「Marifa-dono」
Kuro, who was fighting another Archdemon in a different place than the girls, stops Marifa.
「Kuro-sam, have you already been beaten?」
The whole body was stained with purple blood and green with the return blood of Arch Demon and other demons.
「There's one thing I'd like to ask you」
「What is it?」
「Marifa-dono, I don't think you're going to be stronger any more」
「What do you mean」
「I thought that if Marifa-dono was on Lord's side, that would be good too. If Marifa-dono couldn't follow the place where the Lord is aiming――」
「Is Kuro-san going to replace me?」
「That's right. I don't trust that undead or Nina」
She know she can't trust Russ, but Marifa couldn't understand why Kuro even named Nina.
「What's your reply?」
「Don't underestimate me too much」
Marifa held out her right hand toward Kuro and found a broiled speck with yellow and green spots in her palm.
「Kuro has definitely become stronger. I wouldn't be able to compete with my current strength if it's just the strength of each individual. But can Kuro beat a country?」
「Muu....... I haven't tried it, so I don't know」
「I can win even if the opponent is a great power」
「Even though one person is more powerful than others, when it comes to dealing with a country, is Marifa-dono stronger?」
「Yes. No doubt. Certainly. I'm sure i'll be able to help you, Kuro or Master」
Then Marifa squeezed the grasshopper in her hand. Is he still not convinced yet? Kuro keeps staring at Marifa.
「Mari-chan, Kuro-chan please help too」
Multiple demons such as Greater Demons and Lesser Demons may have been attracted to the smell of blood. Nina fighting against a Archdemon calls for help.
「I'll be right there」
What does Kuro think while looking at the back of Marifa who runs? He chased after her at once.
