Chapter 131 Pride ②?

Part 2

Black-san and his friends had already boarded the carriage. When I was about to get in as well, I heard a familiar voice.

“Cry! Wait ―― When I finally caught up to you! Wait a minute, don’t go!” (Ruda)

I turned around. The owner of the voice was Ruda. There was also Gilbert-shonen?behind her. My eyes widen at their unexpected appearance, but I am not someone who will stop when someone calls him to.

I don’t know why they were here or why they were working with Arnold and his companions, but it wasn’t like there was a rule against working with another Party, so it wasn’t uncommon for people to temporarily work with another Party.

Rather, since they are with Arnold and his companions, they are something like my enemies. I don’t want to have anything to do with them.

“Aaah, Ruda and Gilbert-shonen. What a coincidence. See ya.” (Cry)

“Wait! Cry, help us! We are here on Gark-san’s order ―― We came to deliver your request form!” (Ruda)

“………… I’m sorry, but I’m quite busy. Let’s talk about this at another time.” (Cry)

I decided to escape from reality and leave all the troubles to my future self.

I don’t remember hearing what Gark-san’s request form was, but no doubt it must be something not good at all.

Gark-san, request form, Arnold. Any one of those problems alone is already bad. I want someone to save me.

Just as we were getting into the carriage, a demon came out of the lake. It was faster than expected.

All his body was soaking wet, but his anger showed no sign of calm down. Well, I understand how he feels, but honestly I think that Liz and Arnold are both similar. He should take more calcium.

“Haaa… Haaa… Fuck… Infinite Variety…… I’ll kill you. Like I’ll let you run ――!” (Arnold)

Arnold in an instant saw us and ran at us. At the same time, the carriage starts going, but despite wearing armor, carrying a big sword and even having clothes soaked in water, his speed was tremendous. There was no way we could escape.

In a dash, I equipped multiple 『Shot Ring (Bullet Shot)』 and activate them. Multi colored bullets (With almost zero in attack power) are created in the palm of my hand and are shot toward Arnold.

Arnold easily sliced off the bullets flying at him at high speed with his great sword. It was an amazing feat to do while running. This is why I really hate being called Hunter.

.

Arnold roared with a blue vein on his forehead. The horses became frightened and the carriage shook violently.

“Did you think something at this Level can stop me! Don’t underestimate me! 《Infinite Varie ―― Huh!?” (Arnold)

At that moment, something suddenly appeared from behind a tree and attacked Arnold. As a result of the surprise attack, Arnold is greatly blown away.

What jumped out of the forest was a moss-colored monster that I had never seen before. It had a long and narrow body and long and creepy arms and legs. The surface of his body was covered in a black mist and a crude piece of cloth was covering his private parts. It might be a variant of a Troll, but I have never seen one like this before.

Maybe it wasn’t an opponent Arnold could easily cut down, his feet had completely stopped. His figure became more and more distant.

…… That was lucky. In a case like this, if this were the usual pattern, it would be the unlucky me who would be attacked. Arnold might have worse luck than me. I feel a little sympathy for him.

I can hear Arnold shouting.

“Kuh…… Damn! Daaamn! Why… Are you attacking me! Attack that bastard!” (Arnold)

Why? That is a bit of unjustified resentment, no? If you get caught in forcing a Monster onto others, it is a crime you know.

I don’t know how it is in the Mist Country, but since you are in Zebrudia, you should follow Zebrudia’s rules.

I opened the window behind the carriage, cough loudly to clear my throat and shout at the top of my lungs.

“Arnold-saaaaan! Forcing Monster onto otheeer! Is in this countryyy! A crimeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” (Cry)

“Hah……!? You bastarrrrrrrrrrrrd! Don’t have the right to say thissssssssssssss!” (Arnold)

What do you think I did……

Liz and Sytry poke their heads out from my left and right.

“Areh… That’s the 『Giant Lost Oni (Pote Drakos)』. It seems to be obsessed with him……” (Sytry)

“Ahahahahaha! So funnyyyyy! That’s what happens when you go against Cry-chan!” (Liz)

In any case, there was no sign of him pursuing us. It seems that the monster has unintentionally stopped him in his tracks.

I took a breather and removed 『Over Greed (Evolving Devil Mask)』 that was? forcibly fixed on me.

I was planning on stopping at towns on the way, but if that is following us, we had no time to spare.

Let’s quickly go to the 【Castle of a Myriad Demons (Night Palace)】 and meet up with Luke and the others.
