Chapter 32 – Guild Escort Quest #6

It was the voice of a middle-aged merchant full of power.
As a mere employee, I have no choice but to get distracted reflexively.
Now that monsters have appeared, adventurers must fight.
I just cornered the nun, and I have to let her go?

“Everything, you… What about that hair?”
“It’s your hair, bitch.”

An earthquake occurred in the blonde nun’s pupils.
It seemed that she was not very used to hiding her emotions, befitting her innocent appearance.
I was convinced that she was the culprit when I saw her nun’s hastily reaching out her hand to snatch her hair.

“Give me this!”
“How dare you.”

Of course, there was no way I could hand over her hair.
I took a flashy back step and evaded the nun’s golden arrow.
As expected, he couldn’t even keep up with my speed as a dealer.
He doesn’t seem to do any physical training on a regular basis.

“See you later. Hilarious bitch-.”

I raised her finger to warn the blonde-haired nun, then stepped away from her seat.
The nun who was pointed at her froze like her frog stoned.
Once I joined the adventurers who confronted the monsters.

“An Owl Bear is blocking the bridge. It seems that we need to defeat that monster to go further.”

Ethan, holding a sword and buckler, explained the situation to me.
The upper ranks are now on their way to the final road to the trading city.
There was a wide river crossing the land around the trading city, but in order to cross the river, you had to move on a bridge.
A bridge built in an arch shape over flowing water.
Unfortunately, however, it seemed that there was an uninvited guest who took his seat first on the bridge the corps had to pass through.

‘Wow, what a fucking big owl-.’

I looked at the great owl perched on the bridge.
Is it about 4m in size? It was more than twice the height of a person, and its flesh was swollen like a bear.
I know what kind of guy that owl is.
It was because I had touched a corpse once while working part-time at the Mage Tower’s corpse disposal.

“It’s an Owl Bear. He’s a pretty funny guy among monsters.”
“Do you know Owl Bear?”
“Birds are birds, but they’re monsters that can’t fly. They say that their wings can’t handle their body because they’re so fat.”
“Oh, you’re truly knowledgeable like a wizard. That’s right.”
“But you can’t ignore it at all. Because he’s so big, if you accidentally get run over by him, you’re going to break a bone.”

I calmly observed the owl bear standing in the middle of the bridge.
The Owl Bear, who was chewing on the fish he had caught in the river, was glaring at the top with large owl-like eyes.
It was as if he had found a new prey.

Cad de de de de deuk!
Owlbear rotated his head round and round. It was an act of looking around like a giant owl, but it was quite grotesque. Rebecca, who was holding a knife behind me, gave me a startled expression.

“Don’t be scared, Rebecca. It’s a monster that will give you shit if you fight it.”
“Fuck rice? Your size is distracting?”
“Because the body is dull, you can see the attacks. If you avoid them and stab them one at a time, they’re monsters that will fall behind. Don’t worry.”

At her advice, Rebecca regained her courage.
He is a mysterious newbie who is good at defeating people but is afraid of monsters.

“Charge-!!”

The moment the voice of a middle-aged merchant echoed from behind, the adventurers shouted and charged at the Owl Bear. As we ran together, I told Rebecca the most important thing.

“Owlbear’s feathers become money.”
“Money-!”
“If you sell the size of a fist, it’s 3 coppers per bundle. Don’t miss it and pick it all up.”
“Money-. Leggings! Pauldrons! Helmet!”

The moment the money talk came up, Rebecca started to burn with fighting spirit.
Armed with her will, I put Rebecca, the newbie, in front of her and followed her.
No matter how much it is, even though you are a wizard, you can’t fight monsters at the forefront.
The wizard’s mission was originally to support the rear.

“Liquid.”

I raised my mana and started manipulating the water. Of course, none of the water droplets that were made beforehand were present.
However, there was a rushing river just below the bridge, and it was possible to immediately create weapons from the water.

It’s just a water whip.
The water, wriggling like a snake and climbing to the ground, was caught in my hand in the form of a whip. It was my first time using a water whip in real life, so I was a little nervous.
I yelled and swung my whip at the owl bear.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

The sound of a whip resonating lightly!
Owl Bear struggled with pain every time he was hit by a whip.
The destructive force of the whip pulverized the Owl Bear’s thick layer of fat.
Every time the whip touched, blood gushed out, and the feathers that had been clumped together scattered in all directions.

“God, it’s amazing. Owl Bear is out of his mind.”
“It’s a whip. You’re using a weapon suitable for that young incubus race!”

I was betting Owl Bear with pain.
The adventurers mercilessly attacked the stopped Owl Bear. Pierce with spears, cut with knives, and strike with hammers.
Among them was Rebecca, brandishing her sword with a sharp edge.

“Hee hee, it’s all money!”

Rebecca slid, sweeping up her feathers that fell to her floor.
They are all feathers that fell off after being hit by my water whip.
After all, Rebecca and I are a fixed party.
If she picks up her feathers, she’ll save me the trouble.

“…”

Then, suddenly, I felt a gaze, and I looked back.
The one staring at me was none other than a blonde-haired nun.
Surely it was the nun who was far away from the place where the battle was taking place.
He doesn’t even pretend to hold a weapon and goes for a walk.
That bitch eating me.

“Ugh…!”

The moment her eyes met mine, the blonde-haired nun trembled.
I greeted her by sending her a big wink.
Of course, it was not a friendly greeting, but a golden sun-style greeting that promised to go to the end of the four years.

“Owl Bear prepares for the final blow!!”
“All away!!”

Owl Bear, who had been beaten behind him, prepared a counterattack.
After spreading his wings wide, Owl Bear spread his legs wide, and he was advertising that he would launch a big attack.

“Avoid taking pictures!!!! In the corner!!!!!”

The moment someone’s sharp voice rang out.
Owl Bear flapped his wings and leaped into the air.
Did the survival instinct as a bird activate at the last moment?
Owl Bear spread his wings and tried to fly for the first time in his life.

However, he was so confused that he seemed to have forgotten that his body had gained weight.
A giant owl weighing more than 1 ton could not fly in the sky with such thin wings.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh!
The Owl Bear howled and fell back to the ground.
It was a heroic finale that scattered feathers all over his body in all directions.
The weight was so heavy that my legs trembled for a moment. The adventurers who were watching the scene corrected their posture and withstood the shock.
But someone who was taking a walk in the back didn’t seem so.

“Kyaaaaa!!”

The blonde haired nun who glared at me instead of Owl Bear.
The blonde-haired nun lost her balance and fell under her legs as her body rocked precariously at the moment of the impact. With a splash-! Her nun’s body fell into the river at the same time as her spray rose.

“The nun fell into the water!!”

A middle-aged merchant near her nun gave her a shout.
At that voice, the adventurers stopped moving and looked towards the river.

“The nun fell into the water.”
“Isn’t it something we need to save?”
“The current is pretty strong here.”

The adventurers were unable to rush to rescue the nun. Because the river under her bridge was running strong. If she went in carelessly, she herself might be swept away and injured. For adventurers who prioritize personal survival, it is a matter of hesitation. If I get hurt today, I’ll have trouble getting the next quest right away.

Even if the other person is a nun.

“Puhahaha, he looks good. That blond bitch.”
“Rebecca?”

Rebecca laughed as she watched the drowning nun.
Unexpectedly, she also seemed to have bad feelings for her nun.

“Everyone is fighting, but you’ve been playing alone since earlier. Where the hell did you learn how to fight?
“Great idea.”

It was not uncommon for me and Rebecca to die.
I was gratified watching Rebecca express her anger at the heel mantle.
That’s how you feel like a member of my party.
You have the integrity as a dealer.
Maybe our party is destined to go to an all-dealer for the rest of our lives?
That’s a wonderful thing.

“Take the armor here.”
“What? Why are you taking off your armor? You’re not going to give it to me?”
“Are you crazy? I’m asking you to take care of me for a while.”

I handed over my leather armor to Rebecca. Of course, in the midst of this, I have no intention of suddenly giving a touching gift, I just want to leave the leather armor for a while.

“I’m thinking of saving a nun.”
“Why would you do such a useless thing?”
“There’s something I need to get from that woman.”

Other adventurers were hesitant, but I had a reason to save the blond nun.

I don’t want to play hero by saving a nun.
I thought that now was my chance to bring out that impregnable woman. If you swim in the rushing river, you will inevitably be separated from your party.
The moment I pull her blonde nun out of her water, I’m left alone with her for a while.
It can’t be the best environment for me.
An isolated place that can be called the home place of the Golden Suns.
There, it was clear that I would have the upper hand over the blonde nun.

“I’m behind you, bitch.”
“Luke!”

I tore off my top and jumped into the river.
Then he started swimming toward the blond nun who was drifting far away.

“Incubus entered the water!”
“I think that friend is planning to save the nun? You seem to have a better personality than you look. I would have thought that the incubus would be the first to step out in a place like this.”

Ignoring the chatter behind me, I swam hard. Just with the determination to bring justice to the nun, she threw herself into the water with all her might.

“Sa-save me! Help me…!!”

The blond nun was a beer bottle.
I just struggled and didn’t know how to swim. She was simply floating away in the rushing river. Accelerated by her swimming, I slowly closed the distance with the nun. Then, he barely succeeded in hugging the nun’s waist.

“Incubus!!”

Only then did the nun open her eyes the moment I hugged her waist. The blonde-haired nun looked at me with an expression as if she were looking at a demon from hell.

“Yes, I am that lustful incubus! Stay still if you don’t want to find out!”
“Let go.”
“If you really let go, you’ll be on the road to hell that day!”

Blond haired nun writhing in her water.
This made it quite difficult to correct her posture and get up on her land. However, for me as a mage, it was possible to solve this problem lightly.

“Liquid-.”

The moment I held the nun and sealed her.
A water whip protruded from the river.
I grabbed the tip of the whip and swung it toward the ground.

The whip that flew up wriggling like a snake entangled itself in a tree that grew along the river. Holding the whip tightly wrapped around the base of the tree, I withstood the pressure of the current.

“Is that a tentacle?!”
“It’s not tentacles, it’s a whip, damn it.”
“No matter how you look at it, they’re tentacles!”

I hugged the struggling nun and barely climbed to the ground. Golden Sun’s muscles were stronger than I thought. At this moment, when she was trying to intimidate her, her muscles seemed to swell. Could it be that the Golden Sun tribe can also erect muscles?

“Keuhuk. Kkeuhheuk.”

The nun lay on the ground and vomited water for a long time.
Her clothes were soaked with water, and her ass, clinging to her black nun’s uniform, was strangely suggestive. I realized that her ass was an easy delivery.

After a while.
The moment the nun who had vomited up her water raised her head.
I immediately asked the blonde-haired nun.

“Now tell me honestly. Are you the culprit? The culprit who destroyed the artifact at the top.”

At first, I thought I would have to go through a long reasoning time like a detective novel.

Proof that it’s the hair I found.
And the testimonies obtained from many adventurers.
I was thinking of putting them all together to prevent the nun from cheating.
However, something unexpected happened.

“Yes, that’s right. I’m the culprit.”
“What?”
“It was I who broke the artifact at the top in the middle of the night.”

The blonde-haired nun had her cool admission to her crime.

“And, my name is Kate, not Heelover.”
