Harem of the final villain in an ERO MMO!!! I just need to survive Chapter 40 40: The Back Of The Mountain [Pt2]
"Hey man, I know you are a big deal in this town and all with your money, but I am, curious about sothing. Why are you with that gladiator everyone is afraid of? Do you like her or sothing?"
En asked as he looked at Keith and Alia. He could not understand why soone who had a lot of money like Keith saw a lowly gladiator like Alia.
His parents had always told him that slaves were dirty and to not go near one if he could help it. So En, who was a good child, saw them as dirty and low as well.
"Alia is a good person and was forced into the gladiator ring without permission. I want to help her escape."
Keith replied with the most boring answer he could. It was sothing many people who fell in love with the gladiators said when they first started.
"Well, good luck. The gladiator arena's boss is a tough man who would not let anyone escape him. Besides, he has a solid friendship with the evil grandmaster so everyone is afraid to go against him."
En was not interested in gladiator talks but could see the blond lady stiff as soon as he said that. It seed that there was soone here who was sensitive about the grandmaster.
The blond shared a look with Keith which En ignored. Grown-ups were weird in the ways they talked and En did not understand them.
"If the boss is friendly with the grandmaster, then does that an the grandmaster likes to co to this village often?"
The slave questioned with clear pronunciation. For soone who was a slave, this tiny girl seed more than literate and fancy. She was a weird existence as well and En could not quite place what she was.
"Well, the grandmaster likes to swing by often enough that I have seen him. But all I rember is that he had green hair. I asked my mother once, and she rembered green hair as well."
En had never questioned his mory before since there had been no need to.
His words caused the three new adults to share a look before they went quiet. But En was not worried in the least.
After all, it had nothing to do with him.
......…
Shimi felt her temper boil as she heard more and more of En's words. She could not believe soone would use the grandmaster's na like this. How dare they sully his holy na?
Especially when the grandmaster was in the town as well? Shimi would not forgive them for as long as she lived.
Grandmaster looked like he did not care much about how his na was being sued but Shimi was different. Once she was done here, she was going to go out and show these gladiator people why no one ssed with the guild and grandmaster.
"Oh, so grandmaster *swings around often* from here, huh? I guess I will have to see it myself to believe it."
Shimi wanted to see who had the guts to impersonate such an impressive existence as the grandmaster. He was soone who went beyond anything anyone had ever seen before.
'Well, as soon as I see this fake, I will show him why he should never ss with the grandmaster and the guild."
Shimi vowed to punch the fake as soon as she could. Her fists itched with the need to exact vengeance for the harm these people had caused the grandmaster's image.
'Why does no one else look enraged over this? I understand why the grandmaster would not care, given his nature, but why does Clair not feel angry on his behalf? I thought she liked the grandmaster as well.'
Shimi's mind was filled with unnecessary thoughts. So she did not realize when they reached the mountaintop why everyone else had taken a step back.
"Huh, what happened?"
Shimi questioned as she noticed everyone looking at her with relief-filled expressions.
"Thank you for volunteering to take care of En for us Shimi. Now, you can play with her right here while we all go and take a look around."
Clair's tone was mocking and Shimi felt her temper flare. She wanted to deny what just happened and retaliate but the grandmaster was looking at her.
'Clam down, Shimi. You cannot show your anger this openly. You need to calm down so that the grandmaster would not feel disappointed in you.'
Shimi took in a deep breath and cald herself down. She had to remind herself that she was doing this for the grandmaster and him alone.
"Alright, I will do it. Look after and play with a kid, I can do it all in the na of the grandmaster. I swear you will not find a better babysitter than even if you comb the whole continent."
Clair did think she was getting a little ahead of herself but she had spoken already. The grandmaster looked at her with expecting eyes as well and now Shimi could not back down.
"Alright then. We will leave En to you Shimi. Make sure you look after him well."
Shimi nodded in agreent even as she cried out in the back of her head. Just what had she gotten herself into?
'Well, now that things had co to this, I have no other choice. I will convert this non-believer into the biggest believer of the grandmaster. He shall gain a new devote today.'
"Hey lady, I don't know what you are thinking but you're scaring . Please don't make that expression when you look at ."
En requested but Shimi was not looking at him.
......…
After Keith had handed En over to Shimi, it was ti to start looking around. He had seen a few pieces of coal in the vicinity which gave him hope.
"Wait, I know this place. I used to play all the ti here when I was young. Now, this brings back so many mories. As far as I rember, there was a cave nearby-"
Keith's attention was instantly on this new piece of information. This cave was what he had been looking for all this while.
But he did not show his naked interest, least Alia found out why he was here.
"A cave? A natural made cave? It should have a lot of well-ford rocks. Can you take there? I am a big rock enthusiast and I like old cave rocks."
Clair, who had caught sight of Keith's interest decided to be the one to ask Alia to take them to the cave.
She looked young and innocent enough to fool anyone about her interests. Teenagers, especially the young ones, had weird tastes.
"You like rocks and caves, Clair? That's a weird interest to have. Hmm, I guess I can take you to the cave if you want to."
Alia looked happy to have soone to lead. Especially since the female company was so rare for her to co by.
It was tis like these that her loneliness showed and her true nature shined. She was like a child experiencing making friends.
"Thank you for taking . I want to see this cave now."
Keith followed the two of them from behind. He had a good feeling about the cave they were about to visit.
"Here, this is the cave. This opening used to look so much bigger when I was a child. I am so glad that no one owns this cave."
Alia accidentally answered the biggest question Keith had and he was thankful. Since no one owned this cave, Keith would not have too much difficulty acquiring it.
'Hmmm, let's see. This cave should be under a governnt contract if no one owns it. I should ask Master Fushi to buy it under my na.'
Master Fushi might be a difficult person to get along with, but she was right to ask such favors. She was the most well-versed person when it ca to law.
And as far as Keith rembered, she was also their guide's financial head.
"Hey, I found the bigger entrance we can use. Follow if you want to co inside."
Alia led them through twists and turns into the cave. There was more cole inside but it did not take long for Keith to see sothing shiny as well.
'Well, look at this. This looks like a diamond but I should still get it checked for sure. If these are diamonds, then I stuck the jackpot for real.'
With this, Keith was sure his financial problems would be solved. (Not that he had any, to begin with)
"Alright, ti to head back. The sun is about to set anyti and we need to head back ho now."
Keith called everyone over even when there was plenty of sun ti available still.
He had a ssage to write and a strategy to plan. There was no way he was fighting with a gladiator boss without a plan.
"Hey, look here. Is this a treasure box? Should we take it with us?"
Alia held up a small chest and Keith's bring sparked with mory. He knew what this was.
