The next day after the bandit encounter, the girls returned to normal. They don't pretend it never happened. In fact they beca more resolved to kill bad guys. Knowing what happened to Kayla if we didn't et, and also what I told them about how the evil cult act, make them more resolute to fight against evil.
Few days later, we finally reached llian City. It took longer than we thought, but we beca much stronger during our journey. Although none of us increased our level to Interdiate, our party can fight against a strong Advanced level mage. Without , they have enough strength to fight against a group of Interdiate mage.
"Hey Roy. What are we going to do today since we're already here?"
Kayla asked curiously.
"For today, we will look for an inn to rest. We will stay here for about one month and possibly longer if I haven't found what I'm looking for. We will go to the guild to accept missions. At least we will go on a quest once a week. After we're done with any quest, you're free for a week and during that ti I will be looking for the monster I have to defeat."
One month is a long ti and if just do quest every day, it will be boring staying here. But if I found the monster I'm looking for before one month, I will choose to stay here for vacation. This city is bigger than lk after all. And sohow, this place has never been targeted by the cult. I don't know the reason why, but maybe I can find the reason while staying here.
Soon we found an inn to stay. We paid for two rooms. One for and another is for the two girls. They say that it was to save so money. So I asked them if I could stay with them to save more money but they refused.
After finding an inn, we spent the day looking around the city. Other than the fact that there are more hunters in this city than in lk, there's not much differences.
A lot of hunters staying here is because there are a lot of area filled with monsters near this city. That's why llian city is one of the city that got attacked by monsters the most. But with the amount of hunters here, the city is well-protected.
The next day we went to the hunter guild to take a request.
The girls were looking at the quest board while I went to the staff to ask about monsters around here.
And from what I heard about the monsters here, there's no one that interest . Not any flying type monster, or even a fast running monster. I thought at least my target would be a fast running one because of my desire to escape when thing go wrong or when it's impossible to win. Well, it may be because I haven't seen the monsters yet so I hope it's the fast running one that I need to defeat.
"Is that all of them? They are the only monsters that show up around here?"
"It's not all of them. They might be so wandering monsters who sohow entered the area from another place. These all are only those that commonly appear around the area. Who knows if there are more rare monsters which rarely appear on site? Maybe you can find so rare monster appearance on the quest board."
"Alright, I'll see the board later. Does the guild have so kind of monsters encyclopedia?"
"The guild doesn't own such encyclopedia. Usually books like that are owned by Advanced School specialized in theory. Not magic or battle. Maybe the guild master has one. I'll go ask him later. Why are you interested in monsters?"
I can't say that I'm looking for a monster to awaken my special ability, right? Then I will tell her the other truth. Ever since I was returned in ti, and realized that I'm too weak even with a new power, I always want to learn more about monsters. About how to defeat them. And how to run away from them.
So I answered the receptionist as such.
"I want to learn so I know what I'm running away from."
"You're not trying to defeat them but to run away from them?"
"Yes. Obviously, my life is more important than being a high rank hunter. If I could defeat them, I would. If I couldn't, then I will escape."
"That's interesting. Usually hunters will only escape as a last resort. Most of them are prideful and think only of gaining achievents despite their obvious lack of talent. And they would die on a mission. You are the first person I ever t to think of running away from monster."
"Well, I'll be going to my friends over there. See you in a bit."
I'm leaving the receptionist and go to where the girls are. They are still in front of the board but they're being surrounded by n.
Oh shit!
"Hey, girls. You should just beca our friend instead of waiting for your friend who might never ca. We can go to quests together from now on."
A bald man tried to flirt with Angela and Kayla. This is their unluckiest day ever. For the n...
Angela tried to refuse their offer, but the n insisted. They even grabbed Angela's arm. Before anything happen, I should intervene.
"Hey! Stop it!"
I tried to approach the girls but two n blocked .
"Don't co any closer if you don't want to regret it."
One of them threaten . I don't care much about his weak threat, but if he want to stop then I will stop. But I still shouted sothing to the n.
"It's not who will regret it. It's you guys! You should have wear so kind of crotch guard before you flirt with them!"
"What?"
As the two who blocked got confused, soone yelled in pain. It was the guy who grabbed Angela's arm.
"GAAAH!!"
He got kicked in the nut by Angela. Subconsciously my hand moved toward my crotch to protect it even though I was just seeing. Well, as a man, I can feel the pain. All the n in the guild also made so weird expression.
Angela is still being nice because she only kicked the man who grabbed her, while Kayla… Kayla she targeted every n who surround her and kicked their nuts.
"Wait, wait! GYAAAH!"
Obviously, the n who blocked also got kicked. There are several n dropped on the ground with their hands between their legs. This is not a sight to see.
I'm afraid. Afraid of Kayla. This is the first ti I've seen sothing like this, but I know this will happen. It was because of Kayla who always wrote down sothing I said.
Yes. Kicking n's crotches is sothing I taught her. And I'm the kind of guy who is afraid of people with the sa knowledge as and practice it. Even if the one who did it is the one I taught.
I'm scared because if there's soone out there who want to kill , but we both have the sa personality, then that guy will undoubtedly co at again and again even if they fail to kill . Just like what I will do. That's why I'm afraid of those with the sa mind as .
If I was in a situation similar to Kayla, I'm sure I will do the sa thing as she did. But seeing it from the sidelines gave nightmare. I'm both proud of her to follow my advice, but also scared because she followed my advice to a T.
If I want her to be able to survive on her own, I have to teach her everything. And she also has proved to that she can grow stronger. That's why I will keep teaching her what she can learn. I trust her so I'm sure she won't do the sa thing to what she did to these guys.
…Right?
"I'll rember your faces!"
The shout of the losers was heard as they escaped. All those who tried to flirt with Angela and Kayla left the guild in pain. I hope we won't et again. Because if they co at us, I can give them sothing worse than being kicked in the nuts. Although it will be painless, it could be much worse. But with Kayla here, I'm sure even if I did sothing at them, she will keep kicking them. Because when the guys leave and I take a peek at her face, she wear a smile that gives shiver.
The other guys in the guild looked away from Angela and Kayla, but the girls are all clapping their hands. Now more people learned how to deal with annoying guys. Scary…
"Well, now that they've gone, have you picked a quest yet?"
"Oh right! There's a subjugation quest in the Northeast Forest. The type is not important as long as we at least defeat the minimum numbers of monsters."
"Good. We'll take that."
I've heard about such quest before. Usually, it was a repeatable quest that always put up on the board at the guild in every city located near area where a lot of monster reside. Like this city.
The quest is always available so there will be no monsters from outside that will enter the city. The reward is also good. And with the type of monsters material brought back, it may increase.
We let the receptionist know we took that quest and then left the city.
