Chapter 219: A Self-admonishing Smile
Within the gigantic turtles shell lay a Dungeon, teeming with various monsters. Amidst them, two humans existed. However, the monsters refrained from attacking the pair; they remained docile.
Orbis, clad in an all-black suit with a seasonally inappropriate scarf, conversed in a casual tone with Meena, who wore the same attire. He was disassembling the armor he had traded for with Magic Stones earlier, adjusting them to fit Orcs.
Originally, before Orbis married the president of the Monster Safeguard Association, he had drifted between various jobs while pursuing artistry. During that time, applying various skills, he created artworks. Thus, he was more dexterous than the average craftsman. Nearby, a Kobold, a monster with a dog-faced humanoid appearance, also disassembled armor.
By the way, how did the attack operation go?
Hahaha A painful defeat, from the looks of it.
With this pointed out, Meena puffed out her cheeks and turned away. Orbis chuckled at the clearly visible reaction from the sulking girl.
Two blessed by God, and Christia, leader of the Labyrinth Conquerors And then theres Tsutomu. They are formidable opponents. It wont be easy to defeat them.
I thought I had them, but they got rescued. And Tsutomu was cheating. He kept hiding behind the girl with the long ears.
Hahaha. He excels at rear support, so its natural that he flees when targeted. Also, Id prefer that you at least try to keep Tsutomu alive.
I know. I tried to capture him with the Worms! But he got away so easily! Its not fair!
You have no combat experience, Meena dont beat yourself over it. Youll just have to get more used to it from now on.
Orbis patted the head of the Kobold, who was done disassembling the armor as instructed. Meena, sulking even more, turned away and started petting the head of a centipede-like monster that approached her feet.
I dont like those noisy ones. These are so much quieter.
If you approach them without getting emotional, they wont bark unnecessarily. Nevertheless, Im grateful that you can handle them, Meena Im not good with bugs. When the environment settles a bit, well have plenty of time to overcome our respective dislikes of monsters
No.
Hahaha
Orbis, somewhat disappointed, put his hand on his head and glanced at the giant centipede coiled around Meena with an annoyed expression. Then, as if shaking off a shiver, he put his hand to his neck and observed the outside.
Its probably about time we get Leon over to our side. Before that, lets capture another city and head toward Sentrea.
Wait, Leon? THAT Leon!?
Christia, ordering only the cheapest, least popular thing on the menu, began her meal with a frighteningly expressionless face. Since abandoning the forest, she had imposed self-discipline on herself. As part of that, she avoided eating anything she found delicious.
She had also set other restrictions on herself, carefully calculating them so that this practice would not ultimately harm her health. Christia nibbled on the bread, her mouth parched, when suddenly, a cream-haired woman sitting diagonally across from her looked at her with surprised eyes.
H-huh!? Is the place out of food already!? Oh, um, sorry if you want, we can share this!
Korinna, who had ordered four types of set meals for herself, misunderstood, thinking that the shop was so out of food that they could only offer rye bread. She held out what she had ordered to Christia. In response, Christia quietly shook her head.
No need to worry. I ordered this myself.
But eating just bread wont give you energy! Please, I insist!
Korinna, unusually enthusiastic when it came to food, offered the sizzling steak on the hotplate that had just been brought over. Despite her insistence, however, Korinnas eyes were fixed on the steak, and her hands trembled slightly. Since it was cooked rare, her preferred style, it seemed to hold some sentiment for her.
Its enough for me. You should eat it.
I-if you say so
With a face that seemed both happy and disappointed, Korinna timidly cut a piece of the steak with her knife. As soon as she put it in her mouth with a fork, any awkwardness seemed to vanish, and she wore a face full of happiness. Seeing Korinna like that, Christia inadvertently covered her mouth, bit her tongue hard, and restrained herself.
Christia thought she was not supposed to be pleased with herself for abandoning the forest, and as such, she had prohibited herself from smiling as a self-discipline. With her inherently lively personality as a Dark Elf, however, there were times she could not help but smile. In those moments, Christia hid her mouth and suppressed the joy with the pain of biting her tongue.
In the end, she bit too hard and caused her tongue to bleed. She proceeded to cast to patch it up, then swiftly finished the bread and water together before leaving the restaurant.
Returning to the mansion that originally belonged to nobles, Christia revealed the bow she had wrapped in cloth. This thin black bow was crafted using materials from the Devourer Dragon, giving it quite an interesting and unique history for something so new.
The original creator of this bow had been found with an arrow through the head. Despite the high price the bow fetched in transactions, injuries or deaths continued to follow its users. It eventually came into Christias possession, and as it turned out, it seemed this bow was cursed, causing arrows to return to the wielder if they were not strong-willed enough.
Christia had experienced an arrow returning and piercing her shoulder once, but she had managed to master using this bow. Besides, having this ominous bow served as a constant reminder of her self-discipline, making it a perfect fit for Christia.
Eventually, while she was maintaining this bow, she heard strong, repeated knocks on the door. Allowing entry, a knight in a flustered state rushed in, raising his voice,
Refugees from the south! A vast number at least ten thousand!
Understood. Ill see what I can do.
Upon the knights report, Christia wrapped the bow in cloth and quickly headed to the scene.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
