“Hey!”
The arrogant man, double-chinned man made a sarcastic remark to us and immediately called over a shop assistant.
“Thank you for always favoring us, Grimm-sama. How may I assist you today?”
So, his name is Grimm.
The fact that the shop assistant knows his face means he must frequent this place. Do nobles even buy things in this store…?
“When did this place start allowing such filthy people in? The greatness of this place lies in only admitting a select few.”
“Yes, of course. The customers who visit this store are all wonderful individuals.”
“Then why is someone like that here?”
For some reason, he seemed to have taken quite a disliking to me.
And just when I thought that, he kindly revealed the reason.
“Hmph. That one is the baggage carrier for the fallen hero candidate.”
“Oh, you’re quite famous.”
“To the wrong crowd…”
I see. So he knows about that incident.
“That party caused so many problems. It’s clear that there’s an issue with someone who pretended to be a victim.”
‘So that’s how it is…’
And the other reason why the man confronted me became apparent.
“With someone like that, even the most beautiful ladies become worthless. Well then… I won’t say anything bad. Come to me. If there’s anything you want in this store, I’ll buy it for you. In return, at night… you understand, don’t you?”
With a creepy smile, the man reached out his hand to Milim.
But well, it was quite clear what would happen if he tried something like that with Milim. When the shop assistant made a ‘this is bad’ face, Milim had already started speaking.
“Oh my, pigs these days can talk, too.”
“What…?”
Grimm was dumbfounded by the unexpected words.
Gradually, his large face, called a pig, turned bright red, and in an instant, his entire face was dyed red as he shouted.
“Youuuu!”
“I think you should know better than to raise your voice in a place like this. Perhaps it’s not us who are unsuited for this store, but rather, it’s you?”
Milim didn’t stop.
She became the center of attention for the surrounding customers, but it was fortunate that most of them seemed to be favorable towards Milim. It was a scene that revealed how this man named Grimm was generally perceived.
“If you come out like that, you’ll get carried away! Adventurers like you, with no significant power, can be dealt with easily using my power!”
“Oh, really?”
Milim grinned and looked at the shop assistant.
Well, given that his information about me was limited to being a luggage carrier for the hero candidate, it’s somewhat understandable to grasp the meaning behind his ‘my power’ statement…
Just as I was wondering how to handle the situation, Maron came to our rescue, offering a helping hand.
