Recently, the amount of experience that I gained with parasite has increased. Paladin is also growing steadily, all these things makes one want to continue with this kind of lifestyle, right.
The adventurers who have been affected with parasite are growing. Though its quite difficult to raise the level from the second half of Level 10, it gets raised without a hitch until that point.
Compared to the time before I went to Snori where I met Risa Haruna, I think I have grown too.
Since Risa Haruna had come to Laurel this time, we had gathered at the temple together and are currently touring the other places of the city after that event. [last event from prev. chapter].
Later, Risa Haruna, who had finished with her errand, decided to return to the village. After seeing her off on a coach, Alie and I were walking back to our respective residences.
At that time, someone was walking at a quick pace in front of us. It was a young man with neatly combed down hair, Grael Treize.
Grael suddenly stopped with those muddy shoes right before us, and he shook his head as if to move the hair that was covering his eyes.
Regarding the previous matter, they were just small fries. Dont get so cocky, adventurer.
Thats too absurd.
As expected, hes confused isnt he. As for what I feel.. Maybe because he loses his cool and provokes me whenever we meet each other, he could be considered to be a peculiar one. But, those were some cruel words regarding that silver knight.
Grael greeted toward Alie without even waiting for my answer.
Yo, Alie. Are you going with this person again? Your dignity is falling you know, and for the sake of your house too, my advice is, stop doing these careless acts.
The first thing he says after opening his mouth is, THAT.
Thought I thought that he might have understood his lesson from the previous workshop incident, that did not happen.
Though he had seen my power from the front seat during that time, it seems he had forgotten about it.
Yareyare.
Thank you for your words but I wont accept it, Grael-sama. I will also think about myself clearly.
Part 2Fu, strong willed as ever. For you to say these words to me. Well, I think its only natural if you dont understand anything. But, youll know immediately. My power. You can think of flattering me right now rather than flattering me later you know.
While saying that, Grael stretched his hand toward Alie’s black and glossy hair. But Alie nonchalantly twisted her body while controlling and softly said,I wont flatter you even later.
That was a superb manoeuvre.
Grael pretended to be calm on the surface while his hand dangled a bit awkwardly on the air, and then laughed lightly.
After breathing roughly as if he wanted to erase that kind of atmosphere, he said,When you act like that, it makes me want to force you with all my power you know. Fufu, sooner or later youll know my power right away without even saying it. Im looking forward to that time.
Saying so, he left with a quick pace.
Alie and I were left alone, looking at each other blankly.
Though I was planning to scold him a bit with the previous quarreling event, it seems I was too naive, wasnt I. For him to be such a sour grapes.[ED: used to refer to an attitude in which someone adopts a negative attitude to something because they cannot have it themselves.]
Because humans wont change their attitude that easily, right. But Eiji-sama, please dont hold back even if he is just a sour grapes.
What do you mean, Alie
If he has the power of a treasure, dont make light of him. Ha has a good amount of knowledge in that area as well. Naturally for the story, no matter what, even if hes a noble, he wont gain a permit to use it for a reason as silly as wanting to teach a lesson to the one who made him a bit annoyed, but
Thats only natural, they wont pamper him.
Thats why I think that Grael is just talking big. No matter what the circumstance is, he wont take such risks just because hes angry.
After walking for a while, Alie and I separated our ways and headed toward our respective lodgings.
I returned to the inn doing something that I do frequently in these few days but, when Im taking a look at the revived field like the other days, I was met with an unusual phenomenon.
EhWhats wrong with that
Im sorry. Eiji-san, though you had already taken so much trouble, it became so absurd.
The field was splendidly devastated.
The crops are hard to raise in that place, the field can be prepared again but, the crops have been snapped, the roots have been dug out, its in cruel state.
Marie tidied that place with a listless action as if she wanted to restore the crops.
What just happened, Marie-chan?
I dont know. It was already like this when I saw it. It seems it was devastated by someone but, who was the person who did such cruel thing Though it was raised again after such hard work by Eiji-san.
Marie feebly hung her head.
But, her hand kept on working at a fixed rhythm. It was as if she wanted to vent her sadness. How can someone do such cruel things to the crops that I had painstakingly raised.
Even if it is not my main occupation, it really is heartbreaking.
Part 3Nevertheless, who the hell did such crueDont tell me
In that moment, the boots that had mud plastered on them floated into my head along with Grael who was showing an unnatural grin to me.
Why did that man have mud on his boots though there was no mud on the place he was walking upon?
That jerk
I started running.
I returned quickly to the place where we encountered each other sometime ago and searched in the vicinity while questioning the people walking there.
Though a noble isnt that rare, they will still stand out, soon I found what I was looking for.
Stretching out my hand, I seized Grael’s shoulders from behind while he was walking at the corner of the city.
Oi!
Wha.. Its you huh, whatre you going to do, whyre you seizing my shoulder?
Say to me, youre the one who devastated the field of someone’s house, right? That girl was doing her best to plant it, say it, WHAT IS YOUR INTENTION!
After hearing my question, Grael let out a disgusting smile while showing his teeth.
Well, whatre you talking about I dont know anything about it.
Dont play dumb, then explain what is the mud that is plastered on your boots, in this kind of situation it wont get plastered on your boots just by walking within the town.
Grael was looking at his feet and nodded slightly.
But his smile didn’t vanish.
I see, it certainly is muddy. But, this mud is plastered from before that. Sometimes, I even forget to check my dress you know, how rude of you. Fufu.
What
You have no proof right Something like someone walking with muddy boots is as much as you can look for in the city Those guys might be the one you would call as the true culprit
GUH
Its certainly a fair reason.
Though no one but this guy would have done that, the evidence is just too weak.
Grael stared at me with a calm and composed face.
I have no choice but to withdraw the power from my hand that was seizing his shoulder.
Grael brushed my hand as he glared at me while correcting his clothes and mocked,Fuh, this is why those of low birth are so distasteful, they cant even understand such a simple reason. Well, no matter who did it, if the people of your surrounding or you feel unpleasant, theres still the manner of speaking to be considered. The important field that you took care of has been devastated, the stalk was snapped, the root was dug out, hahaha. Rather than falsely accussing me, how about you restore it quickly
Arent you talking too detailed as if you saw it yourself?
Thats just your imagination, imagination. Even if you are 99 sure that I am the one who did it, you still have no evidence right? At last, youve no just reason to make a move on me. Though you think that Im the one who did that, you can do nothing but see without being able to do anything. It is good right, it feels good, that vexing eyes. Oops, of course, Im not guilty of doing anything after all.
Part 4No doubt about it, hes the culprit.
My guess was right on target. But then, since I had no evidence, he became pleased for seeing me with a vexed face while being unable to make a move on him.
Maybe thats why he was wandering aimlessly on a place that could be easily found.
Grael raised an unpleasant laughter, and bumped onto my shoulder as he walked away with a satisfied expression.
As expected, I really cant overlook him.
Though I can deal with him if its just me, for him to cause trouble to the inn where Im staying in, I wont be able to face the inn oyaji and Marie if I just let him off.
Moreover, Im sick with him for doing all these things.
On the back of Grael who was walking away, a golden line stretched from my hand toward him.
I attached parasite on him.
Fu Fufu, you just stepped over your limit. Then I wont hold back too.
I invoked the parasite vision skill.
After this, Grael’s action would be monitored for 24 hours.
Irrespective of whether its bedroom, toilet, or at work. And then, Ill expose your secret that cant be shown to others.
Knocking the opponent by his feet without leaving any evidence is also possible for the current me.
But, even if I do that, the pain would be just for a moment.
But, if its about Grael, I wont even leave him with anything. Ill expose it under bright light, and get it etched into everyone’s memory forever.
For that guy, doing something like damaging his vanity was even more painful than damaging his body. Thats why Ill smash him in that place.
The crime of devastating my place of well-being is very heavy.
