"Hmm . . . I know that I felt sothing strange . . ."
Brighid.
Brighid ca into the light and walked towards , hips swaying left and right before she stopped just inches from where I stood.
How long was she there? I didn't even notice her presence.
"I thought I felt sothing in the air, but who knew that it was just the noob guy who's throwing out gil?"
There was no sign of ridicule in her voice nor from her serious face. It was like she was rely stating a fact.
I released a silent breath when I realized that she only ca just now. Or else, she would have asked about Jorge.
"Is there sothing you want?" I asked her and tightened my grip around Lucy.
Cold sweat ran at the spine on my back, for I knew I couldn't defeat the demoness right in front of . Her ATP was way higher than mine, but I also wouldn't just go down without a fight.
I have Yuko and Little Piggy with . One press of the button and those two would appear by my side.
The only question was . . . were they willing to fight for ?
"I'm not here to kill you," she said with a smile that made my blood run cold. "But I am curious about your strength."
Wasn't she going to attack ? I had thought she would co after imdiately because she was a demon. I heard demons were aggressive with great disregard for their safety as long as they got what they wanted, so this was a relief. But it didn't an I could relax.
"What do you want?" I repeated.
"Relax . . ." she stifled a laugh. "I don't bite." She ran her eyes on from head to toe, and the corner of her lips rose into a smirk. "At least . . . not yet."
Her words were like a knife slicing through my heart.
I am still human, after all.
"What do you want?" I asked in impatience. "I still have so many things to do. So stop wasting my ti."
I saw her eyes widen in surprise like it was the first ti that soone had spoken to her in that tone. And I knew her slight baring of fangs that she didn't like brushing her off.
I didn't have the ti to lick her ego and deal with her.
"Wait," she said when I was about to go. She extended her hand like she wanted sothing from .
Then I heard her muttering to herself, "Just this much . . . ? Did I think wrong . . . ? Or is it his unusual weapon?"
". . ." I knew that the representatives and teachers here could see our stat with a spell as long as we wore this bracelet. The [Evil Ring of Deceit] did its work in hiding my true stat, and it seed like the demoness didn't want Lucy either.
Brighid looked over at after a short silence.
"Can I go now?"
Brighid was silent for a mont before she said, "Did soone offer you a contract already?"
"No. And I don't want to affiliate with any kingdom," I said and left.
Brighid didn't stop , and the only response I heard where her giggles, and when I looked back, she was gone.
. . . What was that about? I asked myself, baffled at the demoness's actions.
What made you say that?
Just this weak girl, and she had the guts to threaten for gil.
I continued onward as if nothing had happened. Players die in here all the ti, so I didn't care about the onlooker's reaction.
So scread, so gasped, and others ran away.
"W-what happened?!"
"I don't know!"
"That woman just exploded!"
"Did he do that?"
"No way. His ATP is so low."
"Then his weapon?"
". . . It's probably his weapon."
I was so sure that it would beco a hot topic for days.
Just the way I like it.
I didn't have to waste ti and effort to co to them. They would all co to instead.
I chuckled.
Don't worry. Those high beings and high-status nobles are too prideful to steal a weapon from a newbie. Besides they have their own artifact weapons to even considering of replacing them.
I then went to the infirmary since my next target was there.
Good.
He made it easier for since I was also planning to go to the infirmary.
