Litty, an Adventurer for the People
At an exclusive party venue in the Royal Capital, Aldis was somewhat impatient. He wanted to show the lower-ranked adventurers how strong he was and gain supremacy over them.
That had been his goal, but recently adventurers had been acting strangely.
Almost everyone in the party venue witnessed the incident in which Aldis was knocked down by Litty when he was drunk. This incident caused more than a few people to look at him with skepticism.
Aldis, enraged, planned to retaliate against Litty immediately after he sobered up, but was stopped by Zhul who said, “Getting back at her currently will have the opposite effect. We should just continue to laugh at her as a joke for being someone of a lower rank.”
Heeding Zhul’s advice, every time Aldis saw Litty at the Adventurers’ Guild, he would lash out and hurl as many abusive words at her as he could think of, but Litty simply ignored him completely. Only Myan would turn her fangs on him instead.
In turn, Litty would pat Myan on the head and give her a silent “don’t mind them”.
“It’s been so many days. What the heck is Baider doing? Zhul, what the heck is going on?”. (Aldis)
“Well… That young girl has been received as a guest by Count De Mile.” (Zhul)
“What? What kind of connections does that little brat have with Count De Mile?” (Aldis)
“I found out that she was asked to escort his daughter to the city of Topaz.” (Zhul)
It was a wise decision for Zhul to not tell Aldis about Litty’s other exploits there.
Even Zhul felt like he had been shot in the chest when he heard that Litty had killed a Scarb Queen equivalent to the 1st Rank monster.
Zhul knew that if Aldis found out, he would be in big trouble, so he kept his silence.
“Aldis-san.”
“What?”
It was a group of Rank 5 adventurers who spoke to him. They, too, admired Yggdrasia and had witnessed their work.
The way Aldis was cleaving Rank 3 monsters single-handedly was enough to make them almost lose their confidence, but they were following him because they believed in his training.
“When is the training going to start?”
“Hah?”
“I mean, when are you going to train us, since we haven’t done anything like that yet?”
“You guys didn’t learn anything from watching me fight? Did you expect me to teach you everything I know?”
“Well, that’s…”
“Look at the members of the Grand Sharks here. That’s how these guys improved, you know? You know their ranks, right?”
“Yes, Rank 2…”
“I brought them up from a bunch of jerks to Rank 2. Don’t you feel anything when you see this result?”
“I’m sorry. We didn’t study hard enough…”
After saying so, the Rank 5 adventurers, who were following Yggdrassia, returned to their seats and started drinking in a corner of the party venue.
At first, they were having fun following Yggdrassia, but now most of them were questioning whether they were doing the right thing. Some of them even began to doubt Aldis.
“Oh, by the way, Jozu. What’s up with that slave kid?” (Aldis)
“I think she ran away…. That’s cold.” (Jozu)
“That’s what happens when you don’t keep a collar on a slave. For example, if a dog is barking too much…” (Aldis)
Aldis got up from the sofa and went over to the Rank 5 adventurers. Aldis kicked one of them in the stomach and then looked around to see everyone’s reaction.
“Ugh…!”
“This is how you need to discipline them…” (Aldis)
After several rounds of relentless violence, the adventurer went limp. Aldis, now drunk and out of control, continued to assault the other adventurers.
Not having time to be surprised by Aldis’s change, another adventurer became a victim.
“A, Aldis, -san?”
“What? You got a problem with me?” (Aldis)
