Avoid Yandere Constellation - Chapter 49-1
“Ugh!”
An adventurer who had been defeated by Kersey.
More precisely, the man named Bill woke up from unconsciousness shortly after Kane and his party left the guild. He looked around with a harsh frown on his face.
Where did those guys go? Bill muttered, looking for Kane’s party.
“Boss, those guys have already left the guild.”
“What? Where did those bastards go?”
The Mean looking guy pointed to the request posted by Kane.
“Yes. I know they went to attack the dungeon over there.”
Hearing this, Bill looked at the requests posted on the board.
Hmm, a new dungeon. Usually adventurers freely explore dungeons, and given that each dungeon varies in size, most are very large.
Therefore, there is no rule that other adventurers cannot accept the request to conquer the dungeon just because someone else accepted it first.
As Bill considers the request for a moment, his henchman speaks up.
“Boss, let’s go ahead and get revenge on those guys.”
“That’s right, Boss. We can’t let them get away with it.”
Indeed, it wouldn’t do for Bill’s reputation to be tarnished by just letting them go like this.
It’s an unspoken rule among adventurers not to fight each other in a dungeon, but that doesn’t matter.
There’s no need to play by the rules with a guy like this, and you won’t get caught killing Kane in the dungeon anyway.
Dungeon deaths are usually passed off as accidents.
Bill nodded his head with a vengeful look in his eyes at the words of his two companions on either side.
“All right. Let’s get ahead of them and wait for them.” At that, the two of his men nodded their heads with what seemed like a villainous smile.
***
About 6 hours have passed since I received the request.
Kersey, next to me, is panting with thirst, with her tongue sticking out.
“Kersey, here’s some water.”
“Huff! Huff! Thanks, Master.”
Kersey receives the water I hand her and drinks it down quickly.
And exclaims like some adult man in his thirties comes back from work and with admiration, as if she’s drinking beer.
“Hyaa! I thought I was going to die of thirst. Thanks, Master.”
“…. Yeah.”
“But, Master, do we still have a long way to go to get to the dungeon?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
I wish I could take a carriage all the way to the dungeon, but unfortunately, the road is too treacherous for any carriages to operate nearby.
If it were in a different area, I would have taken a warp gate.
It’s so frustrating that the dungeon is located between Wintert Territory and Royal Capital, the next area over.
The location of the dungeon is the worst. It’s unlikely to happen, but if I ever meet the creators, I feel like I want to punch them in the back of the head.
Another hour passes. Even though we are far different from ordinary people, walking for nearly seven hours without a rest is still tiring.
“Fuu. It’s time for lunch. Let’s take a break.”
“Yes, understood, Young Master.”
“Finally, we get to eat!”
While Riche responds to my command as if nothing has happened, Kersey makes a face as if a trainee who has finally finished marching. If anyone sees us, they might think we’re already on a dungeon raid.
I take out three bento boxes and a set of utensils from my dimensional ring. I hand one to Kersey and Riche, respectively. Kersey eats the meat in the bento box slowly and says,
“Hmm, this isn’t the adventure I had in mind.”
“What adventure did you have in mind, exactly?”
In response to my question, Kersey explained while making exaggerated gestures.
“Like finding some incredible treasure and defeating monsters!”
… That’s just a child’s fantasy. Well, to be honest, I’ve had those kinds of imaginations at least once before. But in reality, it’s a harsh world.
Monsters don’t just appear everywhere, and it’s even harder to find treasure than that. Adventurers don’t make a living by working every day for no reason.
“That’s just how reality is, kid.”
“I know that, too!”
Kersey blushed at being called a kid, as usual, and ate her food with a fork stuck in it, barely managing to swallow.
Hmm. It’s amazing that she eats like that and still doesn’t gain any weight. I’m in awe of Kersey’s appetite like that.
-Crunch
I heard the sound of something stepping on grass from somewhere. We stopped eating when we heard the sound.
Riche, who had been eating quietly, turned to me with a serious face.
“Young Master.”
“Yes, I know.”
A cold air passed through for a moment. Soon after, those who had been secretly watching us began to crawl out.
“TSK! This is why you need to be more vigilant.”
“It would be easier if they remained still.”
“Hmph. By the way, isn’t that girl in the maid’s outfit pretty?”
“Oh yeah. She’s worth keeping around. And the kid too.”
All four of the secretly appearing bandits had a rough look on their faces, and their faces showed signs of having experienced battles.
I knew that there were a lot of bandits in this world, but meeting them face-to-face like this was something else.
By the way, these bandits are not the ones that appear in the original game. They are just random mobs.
Well, even the bandits that appear in the game are just mobs. While I was admiring the appearance of the bandits for a moment, they looked at Riche with a lustful gaze.
… Huh? Why am I so annoyed? I don’t know the exact reason, but it feels similar to the feeling of a blond, tanned thug trying to NTR my girlfriend.
If it were normal, I would just tell the two of them to take care of the bandits and be done with it.
“Riche, Kersey. Don’t touch anyone except for those who attack first.”
“Yes? Young Master?”
“Master?”
Both of them looked at me with confusion. From their expressions, it seemed like they were thinking, ‘Why is he suddenly stepping up?’.
No. Was I just staying still like that? Anyway, there was no need to answer their question.
Honestly, aside from feeling annoyed, I wanted to test my current strength.
After the incident with the terrorist organization, I trained not only Aura and Magic power, but also physical and mental strength for the past month.
I used the basic body and mind enhancement first. The blue magical power slowly covered my body.
Meanwhile, the bandits ran towards us. I struck the first bandit with my power.
-Kaboom!
The sound of an explosion echoed, and the bandit spewed out bloody vomit from his mouth.
“Arghh!”
The guy took my attack head-on and flew straight back like a “ㄱ” shape, crashing into a tree behind him.
As a result of my attack, the other three who were running suddenly stopped.
They stared wide-eyed in disbelief, not expecting their comrade to be defeated so easily. Their pupils shook like an earthquake had occurred.
Ignoring their reaction, I squeezed and released my hand. Hmm, the power was weaker than I thought.
Actually, I also used magic just before the attack, but the power was not as strong as I had expected.
Tsk! Maybe my circuits are still too narrow. As I was feeling a little disappointed, Riche, who was behind me, had an astonished expression on his usually calm face.
“Ma, Young Master? When did you get so strong?”
“Huh? Oh. Well, I trained hard too.”
“Master! You were talented! How unfair!”
…I don’t think that’s what you should say.
It’s ridiculous that she’s calling me talented, when she who ordinary person with little combat power has already become stronger than a first-year students at the Royal Academy after a few months of training in hell, compared to the (excluding the exceptional ones, of course).
If this trash body had any talent, I wouldn’t have died so easily killed by Anje. , This is just a system, that’s too broken.
“Wouldn’t it be deception if you said that?”
“Hmm, I don’t think so. Right, Riche?”
“That’s correct, Junior.”
With a sympathetic face to Kersey’s words, Riche actively nodded her head. Sigh.
I turned my head back again. Despite using volume adjustment just in case, they didn’t move a muscle as if their feet were glued to the ground, though they swayed a bit.
Judging from the storm of cold sweat on their faces, it was clear they were too tense to move.
“If you guys don’t move, I’ll come first..”
I gathered the mana in my body and used color settings and effect quality at the same time. This time, I released ‘Magi’ instead of mana. Thanks to the color settings, demonic energy similar to the aura was emitted from the body instead of black.
The sharp and rough energy unique to ‘Magi’ made them even more scared. Ignoring the reaction of the bandits, I took out my sword from the dimensional ring.
“…”
I kicked my foot, and swung horizontally, thinking of Eillen, who had shown flawless movements in the previous performance evaluation.
-Swift!
The necks and bodies of the remaining three were separated, and blood spurted out from their necks.
I scattered the blood from the sword on the ground and put it back in the dimensional ring. Eillen really was on another level.
I tried to follow her sword strikes as much as possible, but I could only imitate about half of them. Well, to be honest, this was only based on her roughly swinging the sword.
“Well, now that we’re done, let’s go eat.”
“…Oh! Yes!”
“····Master was talented after all.”
In my words, the two of them nodded their heads in confusion. Me, talented? I can’t even laugh at that.
