Glutton Berserker ~The One That Exceeds The Concept Of Levels~ Chapter 64 – Black and White

A month had passed since then. Up to now, Tenryu* never did cross Gallia border. It did, however, approach several tis. (TL Note: Heavenly Dragon)

Each ti, the gluttony skill would awaken and thrash inside of . I could only hold on desperately until the Tenryu returned to the center of Gallia.

Still, I won’t be able to hold out against the Tenryu. It’s certainly not only about my stats. There is sothing else missing. I couldn’t help but to think so.

And so, ti went by without realizing.

[Custor, why the long face?]

That being said, Eris approached the counter where I was sitting. Her bluish hair swayed around as she smiled to .

I, on the other hand, was quite surprised as I pointed to the mask I wore.

[Even with this, you can still tell what kind of expression I have?]

[I wonder about that? I just know.]

Eris put on a sweet face as she sat next to . Is this okay? Aren’t you still at work? Eris then continued as if to address my thoughts.

[My master is so sweet. He won’t get mad at even if I idle a lot.]

[The shop will be in trouble if you keep doing that.]

While looking around, I saw an unexpected situation.

The people attracted by Eris’ Lust skill once again packed the shop today. In the background, the master who actually hated hard work was busily moving around

[Your employer will die at this rate.]

[Ahaha. He said it himself that he won’t let do such a thing….]

I quickly looked away from staring into Eris’ eyes. It was dangerous….I almost got attracted to her. Eris had aid when I dropped my guard down, and tried to get in.

[Chi, . Look at my eyes properly.]

[No can do. I will get affected.]

[Just a little bit should be alright, right?]

[No is a no! There is no such thing as ‘just a little bit’.]

If I got attracted to her even a little, it would be the end. The Lust skill was simply that powerful. Well, since the attraction is actually the unintended harmful effect of the Lust skill, she couldn’t actually control it in any way.

Eris and I t quite frequently at this bar, since I don’t need to confront her at all just yet. It’s only because she had told about the impending crisis that will befall Roxy, and that she will only be a bystander in this matter.

I didn’t completely trust her of course. That’s why I’ve been visiting this bar to check on her.

Ignoring my doubtful look, Eris continued to grin at .

[Even so, Fate keeps coming to my shop so often. That… troubles .]

[Don’t get wrong. I co here not just to see you.]

Whilst saying that, I pushed away the approaching Eris. However, she laughed fearlessly,

[Ah, could it be that you are, that so-called a tsundere type?]

[……Ha!? What are you talking about. If anything, it wouldn’t be to you!]

[Aaaaaaa, how awful]

Eris crumpled to the counter feeling shocked that her performance failed.

While burying her face on her arms, she gave a glance and said in a low voice.

[I wish you were attracted to …and acted lovey-dovey to ..]

[That’s scary, you know?]

Before I knew it, Eris had actually gone as far as jumping on . Are you kidding ……while I was trying to fight off the power of her enchantnt, soone coughed from behind .

When I turned around….there was the lord of the fortress city Babylon–Roxy Heart.

As ever, the white armor suits her dignified look well. anwhile, I had a girl grinding her cheek on .

[Enjoying yourself? Mister Mukuro?]

[Ah, about this….]

I peeled off Eris who was boo-ing at , and pushed her to the side. She seed to be not liking being pushed like that, so she took my wine and drink it without permission. …..Before it’s Myne, and now Eris. Why do I keep coming across girls that loved to snatch my possessions without my agreent?

Well, whatever. That’s not my concern right now. Anyways, why does Roxy is here?

I turned toward Roxy,

[Alright then, what do you want from ?]

[Ee, quite a lot to be honest. Don’t you know about it already?]

[Not really]

I already know? Nothing really ca to mind actually. However, from the way she looked, that didn’t seem to be the case.

As I was twisting my neck and fixing my skull mask positioning, Roxy sighed while receiving a letter from the soldier following behind her.

[56 cases of violence to other warriors, 21 cases of property damage. All those in only one month. Unbelievable.]

Aaaaahh, those things……..it’s beco sothing that regularly happened everyday, that it barely crossed my mind. I even made short work of several warriors before coming here.

[It can’t be helped. They like so much, they actually attacked every single day. It’s not like they’d listen if I tried to talk it out with them. Even you understand that, right?]

[Certainly there are a lot of such warriors in Babylon.]

[Un un, that’s right! They attack like ants finding sugar.]

[However, as I said before, I cannot condone your violence.]

Could it be, you want to put in jail? Give a break….. I was having a relaxing drink at the bar, and you want to arrest just like that?

Smiling under the skull mask, I saw Roxy shaking her head.

[Do you know why the other warriors kept targeting you?]

[Because they like too much?]

[Wrong! It’s because you don’t belong to any party. For normal people, it’s hard to attack you individually, so naturally they grouped up to make it work. That’s why, rather than working alone, why don’t you join so party?]

[That way, will the unnecessary conflict cease?]

I can understand what Roxy is trying to tell . There were always at least five warriors coming to attack at the sa ti. Never did I have a one-on-one fight.

In other words, it’ll be easier to keep them in check if I belonged to a group instead of doing things by myself.

Roxy continued to talk while nodding.

[So I have a proposal for you.]

She received another letter from the soldier, and handed it to .

When I spread the letter and read it, I found sothing unexpected written there.

[This is….]

[Ehm, what do you think? For soone as strong as you are, we can hire you as a rcenary under the king’s army. That way, those pesky warriors will not be able to touch you.]

[Oh~, so you’re trying to buy ]

Hearing that, Roxy cleared her throat, looking troubled.

[I’m just feeling vexed. You were able to completely rout a stampede all by yourself. That has been confird by the exchange facility. It’s no doubt that you are a skilled person. At the mont, my priority is to strengthen the fighting force of the king’s army. Moreover, I personally think that it’s best to put a leash on people like you.]

Right, right. Babylon is indeed a bit too wild. Even I am considered as a dangerous person by Roxy. I smiled bitterly under the skull mask.

[I’m not a dog.]

[Right….My apologies. I used the wrong words. The way I see it….you seem to live in a hurry for sothing.]

Even now Roxy was still thinking about . However, I won’t live under her protection anymore. I had decided so when I left the Heart family mansion.

And there was also that problem with the holy knight nad Norden. If he found out that I joined the king’s army, he’d definitely co up with so trouble. Moreover, since he’d technically be my boss, I wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.

Being able to move freely is the best after all.

[Thank you for your concern, but I do not belong anywhere.]

Roxy thought about sothing for a short while upon hearing my answer, but smoothly accepted it.

[Understood. Sohow, I had expected that kind of answer. Then, would you mind going out with for a while?]

Roxy pointed outside as she said so. Did she an to get out?

This…..she didn’t need to explain what that ant. I could sowhat tell since the air around her had changed.

[What if I refuse?]

[Then you’ll reflect on your past deeds in the district prison. That would be no good for you, right? I myself, am a little curious about your prowess, warrior Mukuro.]

Roxy walked out of the bar. Well, well, I wanted to avoid this if possible, but I guess it’s impossible now.

Why did I have to cross swords with Roxy? That said, Eris was waving at .

[It has beco interesting sohow. I can only cheer, but do your best.]

[You are drunk, aren’t you?]

[I’m just a bystander, rember?]

She’s right. That’s why she didn’t butt in when I was talking with Roxy. She just stayed there grinning and smiling…..what a nice personality.

And so, I put my hand on the black sword’s handle.

『This has beco interesting, Fate!』

[Even you say the sa thing!]

『Hahahahaha, this is a bystander too. I’m just a weapon, after all. Now go quickly. Otherwise Roxy will be in a bad mood, and you’ll end up spending the night in jail』

Don’t joke around like that! I followed Roxy out of the bar. It would be a bit unreasonable if it’s just for a simple bout. I don’t care, but I have to do it anyways.
