19 - A moment before the hunt

“Oww! Damn you!?”

“What the fuck are you doing!?“

“You’re killing me!”

“Ah ah? Do you want to fight?”

「「「Hii!?」」」

The three pseudo-hotties screamed and backed away when they got threatened. ….Yeah.

“That’s not the face of a respectable person, Alan.”

“I’m from the jungle, man.”

The pseudo-hotties, except for the first one who was strung up, were red-faced.

“You son of a bitch! I’ll kill you!”

“Don’t think you can beat the three of us alone!”

The two guys who shouted that, are they blind? It’s not three against one, it’s three against four, and by the way one of your friends is pale as a sheet.

In addition, we are in front of the gate and Tia is signaling them not to come with their hand, but if the two gatekeepers come here, you’ll get penalized.

In other words, the current strength is two against six.

One of the guys lunged at him, and Alan lightly threw him on his back, knocking him to the ground.

As for the other one, who was frightened and pulled out his sword, Alan punched him in the face and kicked him in the liver without any mercy, beating him to a pulp.

In the midst of all this, the one who was thrown saw the guy being beaten up, hurriedly pulled out his sword and came running towards me.

“Hehe”

The smirk on his face showed his intentions. He was probably trying to take me hostage, but what would be the point of doing that in a game?

Of course I’m not going to get caught.

I think I’ll deal with it like Alan who did not pull out his weapon.

I crouched down to avoid the hand that came for my neck.

“He?”

I used everything in my body to raise my fist at the guy, who made a stupid face as if he hadn’t even imagined that he would be avoided.

“Gobu!?”

The man who leaned forward and fell down, had my good fist hit his chin, and an unexpected event happened for me as well.

To my surprise, the guy flew lightly into the air.

With my arm strength, I could have blown him horizontally, but not vertically.

“Oh, Yuki, you’re good!”

“No, yeah, I guess so.”

I replied to Alan’s words sluggishly, and turned my attention to the remaining one. And—

“I’m very sorry!”

—He was already on his knees.

“….What do you think?”

Seeing this, Alan called out to me in disgust, but I didn’t do anything to him, so it was fine.

“Maa, I don’t care, what about you Aya?”

“….As long as Onee-chan is okay.”

“I see.”

That said, Alan gave us a bad smile. Then he turned around to look at the handsome guy.

“With that, take those two idiots and get out of here.”

“Y, yes!”

The guy ran and disappeared somewhere after getting his two collapsed friends.

◇

“Alan, you saved us.”

“Haha, Yuki could have done something without me, right?”

“You think so?”

“I do.”

Alan says this in a playful way, I’m sure I could have done it, but it would have been too much trouble.

“Rather than that, ah….Yuki?”

“Yuki, excuse me, but could you introduce me to this warrior? It’s boring not being included in the conversation.”

“Yes, the blonde one over there is Tia, and the red one over here is my sister, Aya. Tia, he’s Alan and you can trust him? Probably.”

She asked me for an introduction, so I gave her one. Both Alan and Tia are pleasant people to be around, so I’m sure they’ll get along just fine.

It goes without saying, but Aya is a little shy.

“I am Alan, who you could probably trust. Nice to meet you, Tia-san, Aya-chan.”

“Yeah, it’s nice to meet you too, Alan-dono.”

“Yeah, nice to meet you, Alan-san.”

◇

“By the way Yuki, what are you wearing…?”

“Hm? ….Aah, it’s just a maid uniform.”

“Onie-chan you’re too much of a girl, mou…Mou!”

When I replied to Alan’s question appropriately, Aya jumped at me as if she had been waiting.

“Just a maid uniform, huh.”

“Yes, that’s right Yuki. …It’s not just a maid uniform, it’s a relic from the far past, a magic armor.”

“Huh? Is that so?”

Maid Uniform Quality:? Rarity? Durability:?

Notes: ?

Looks like it.

“That’s okay, so what kind of effect does it have?”

“I don’t know.”

“…I see, well, okay.”

If she doesn’t know, it can’t be helped, but I feel like my body is light and it may be the effect of this outfit that the guy flew away with my blow.

At least it’s better than the traveler’s clothes.

And I have no sense of shame about such things. After all, I look good no matter what I’m wearing.

There is nothing to be ashamed of.

Anyway, that’s not the point.

“Alan. Are you hunting after this?”

“Ah, yeah, to get more meat. Speaking of which, Yuki, what was that meat? I’ve been trying to find out, but I can’t.”

“Yeah, I’ll tell you when I know more about it.”

“No, no, that doesn’t make much sense.”

“What happened to it?”

“Ah, we had a lot of people wanting to buy it afterwards we ate it, so we sold out at a low price.”

“I see, Alan’s a bad guy.”

“Ha?”

Selling cockroach meat is a great sin.

“I’ll give you more later.”

“Eh? Ah, eh?”

“Fufufu.”

“Uu…”

“Hm?”

I couldn’t help but smile at Alan’s fumbling appearance. Then, for some reason, Alan let out that sound and averted his gaze. What’s wrong?

“Onee-chan, you’re too cute〜!”

All of a sudden, Aya jumped on me, nothing usual. Anyway, could it be….

“…..Could it be, Alan?”

“Wh, what?”

“Did you just fall in love with me?”

“…..Ha, there’s no way.”

"

"

In the meantime, I wonder what it is. I’ll let him off the hook for the time being.

“Hmm, well, I look like a super pretty girl, so I can’t blame you for falling in love with me.”

“It’s different, it’s impossible, because you’re a man.”

Alan mutters to himself.

“It’s inevitable that we admire beautiful things, don’t you think so too? Tia.”

“Yes, my maids are beautiful and pretty.”

“Hey, Aya.”

“Onee-chan is so cute!”

“Isn’t that right? Alan.”

“I’m not so easily swayed.”

“Good for you.”

◇

So, I’m hunting with Tia, Aya and Alan as a party, and as a matter of courtesy, I didn’t summon Uluru and the rabbit.

Alan walked out onto the grass and pulled out a frying pan along with a knife.

The knife is rather lethal, and the frying pan is a good product that can be used as both a shield and a blunt weapon.

At the end of the day, Alan doesn’t have a problem fighting with those.

I turned around to see what kind of weapons Tia would be using. On her was a monstrosity of full plate armor, dressed in pure white and she was carrying two thick giant swords that were slightly smaller than my height.

The total weight is immeasurable.

“Tia?”

“Hm? What’s wrong? Everyone.”

“…It’s nothing.”

“Oh, it’s nothing….right?”

“If Onee-chan says it’s nothing…”

“You guys are making weird faces, aren’t you acting a little weird? Tell me if there’s something wrong b, because…. We’re friends!”

Yeah, the funny thing is….Nah, never mind. She looks happy.

“Then, let’s go hunting, shall we?”

When I called out to them, they responded to each other.

I hope a lot of them come out…

By the way, Alan and the others who were supposed to be in the party were also in Legion. Does that mean that they are upwardly the same in interpretation?
