Chapter 99 – Blond Nun and Promotion Battle #2

The carriage passed through the south gate of Yoensu and started running down the long road. Even though I knew I shouldn’t be like this, I couldn’t help but harbor a strange anticipation in the room. Because I wanted to enjoy Kate’s pranks longer.

If showing her thighs is a light joke.
What is a heavy prank? Does Yas do it too?

However, despite the anticipation, Kate did not play the prank again. She probably wasn’t bold enough in her personality to flaunt herself in front of strangers.

“Mr. Brute, talk to me for a second.”
“Horse? What horse? Riding horse?”
“The words you use. I want to make sure you know the Continental language used in a combat situation. For example, do you know what the word attack means?”
“Attack. It means to stab the opponent to death.”
“Okay. Then what’s the word for step back?”
“Back! Fall back!”
“You know me well.”

While riding in the wagon, I checked the brute’s vocabulary. Fortunately, Brute knew very little about the words used in combat. It must mean that there are words that I learned while working as an adventurer in my own way.

“…It’s too long. Long words are difficult!”

However, the longer the words were spoken, the more Brute seemed to have difficulty understanding their meaning. It seemed to Brute that it would be better to convey the words as briefly and clearly as possible.

“Sister! Your hair is so pretty! Your skin is so fair!”

In the seat next to her, Allie was talking intently to Kate. She is sucking Kate up with her soul in every word. To the extent that her nun’s hole was torn apart.

‘That’s blatant!’

Very blatant likeability work!
It was a common habit of adventurers who encountered the nun. Whenever you get a chance, you have to raise your affinity with the nun, so you can do quests together later.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t say hello yesterday, sister! I was so nervous because there was a nun in the promotion match quest.”
“It could be, Ally. But how old are you when you call me sister? I’m twenty.”
“Twenty-eight!”
“…Yes?”
“Since she’s prettier than me and has a better body, I’ll just call her unnie! Is that okay?”
“Ah, I see.”

A halfling approaching thirty was calling the young nun her sister. I was about to sigh as I watched her by her side as she threw away all her pride and waggled her tail.
All true dealers must know how to master their tools. You mean this little bitch caters to tools or something? I couldn’t accept this halfling as a dealer.

‘A reptile chick has quite a pride. She’s not even looking at Kate’s side.’

I had a crush on Brute, who kept his mouth shut.

“Miss Brute, don’t you talk to the nun?”
“Why should I walk?”
“She’s a nun. Being close to her would be quite helpful for adventurers.”
“I don’t need females who root for heels. My body is strong, so I won’t die.”
“Five!”

After all, it’s a soup-type dealer! Confidence in being able to do adventurer work without getting healed! It was a statement that could be brought out because he believed in his own strong body. In other words, they are different from the glass halflings from birth.

“Passed. Mr. Brute.”
“Passed? Thank you!”

It was time for Brute and I to exchange warm words. Allie, who was talking loudly at Kate, suddenly shut her mouth. She then lifted her head and began to peer out of her roof.

“What’s going on? Allie.”
“Wait.”

At that moment, Allie turned to us and put her finger to her mouth. Gesture asking her to mute her voice. The other three adventurers, including me, couldn’t help but look puzzled.

What happened all of a sudden?
Did you hear anything suspicious outside?

The adventurers’ voices died down in an instant. Allie stuck her head out of the roof and focused her attention for a while, then she turned to us and said.

“There are guys chasing the wagon.”
“Yes?”
“I hear footsteps. Something is moving in the far direction beyond the bushes. It’s following the same direction the carriage is moving.”

What do you hear?
I tried sticking my head out of the roof in the same way, but I didn’t hear footsteps. Only the clatter of horses’ hooves was hitting my eardrums.

“Ugh.”

But I realized that Allie wasn’t lying. Right now, the path the wagon runs on is surrounded by forest. At a considerable distance away, the bushes continued to shake. The carriage is relentlessly following the moving line.

‘Is it halfling after all!’

Halflings’ senses were several times superior to those of other races. Instead of having a small body and weak muscle strength, it possesses excellent search ability. I had no choice but to re-judge Ally, whom I had looked down upon. At least she had done a good job as a scout.

“Are you a thief, Mongma-nim?”

Kate looked at me anxiously.

“It’s not a thief. It’s chasing a carriage running in the forest at a similar speed. It’s probably a monster.”
“I’m of the same opinion, Mr. Nightmare! What shall we do? Shall we ask the coachman to speed up?”

Staring out the roof, Allie asked me for my opinion. There is no need to worry about the answer. Because she had no reason to fight useless battles with monsters. The moment I nodded, Allie shouted at the driver’s seat.

“Speed ​​up, Mr. Coachman!”
“What!”
“The monster is chasing you! Hurry up before we catch up!”
“All right!”

The moment her words were delivered, the coachman hurriedly whipped her horse into running. The wagon, which sped up rapidly, ran down the trail. After looking out of the roof, I realized that the shaking in the bushes had stopped.

Did the monster give up the chase?

“The footsteps are gone! The wolves have stopped pursuing them!”
“Wolves? Earlier, I just said they were monsters.”
“Because I could see it through the bushes! Some wolves were chasing the wagon! I’m not sure of the exact number.”

Could he have been able to see through the cracks in that small bush?
I opened my mouth in admiration.

“That’s amazing, Mr. Ally! Do all halflings have such keen eyes and ears?”
“You can say that! Except for one!”
“One? Who is that?”
“Ethan oppa! Everyone except that bastard is sensitive!”

I just praised it, but Ethan was attacked out of the blue.
Maybe she hates her brother as much as he is her sister?
Because every brother and sister in the world is designed to kill each other from birth.

Just because they avoided the wolf, the journey to Kuntilla Village was not at all peaceful. It was because there were monsters blocking the road on the highway.

I couldn’t ignore it.
The monsters were poised to crash into the charging wagon with their bodies. Before I could give the signal, the driver had already stopped his horse.

“Whoa! Whoa! Adventurers! Do something!”

The moment the carriage stopped, I hurriedly got out of the carriage. The other three party members also grabbed their weapons and followed. Brute and Ally were in the front, and Kate and I were in the back. On the highway, large monsters were approaching us.

“They’re Hobgoblins.”
“Demon-sama! Can you defeat it?”
“I guess I’ll have to find out.”

Two hobgoblins.
It was the identity of the monsters that appeared with their backs to the setting sun. A large goblin with horns on its head. Unlike ordinary goblins that were no different from Jammin, Hobgoblin’s body reached a whopping 2m. It means taller than most people.

Kishishishsisit!!
Kissy Sissy Sissy Sissy!!

Two hobgoblins approached us at high speed. A clumsy club carved out of wood was caught in their hands.
Looking at the Hobgoblin, I couldn’t help but get a little goosebumps.
Because it reminded me of being brutally beaten by the Hobgoblin in Morris Forest.
Newby Slayer!
It was the nickname that adventurers call the Hobgoblin. There was a very low probability that hobgoblins would appear around the goblin nest. They are terrifying guys who harass newbie adventurers who hunt weak goblins.

‘Now I don’t have to be afraid.’

Because I have magic. I believed in my magic skills that I had been honing day and night for the promotion match. The moment I calmly raised my mana, my fear subsided. It was the moment I summoned several drops of water into the air.

“Whoops!”

Allie suddenly stepped forward and started laughing. She had a smile brimming with confidence.

“This party is so good! There are wizards and nuns supporting the rear! I’ve never met such a tight combination while working as an adventurer! The combination is the best!!”

Excited, Ally raised her sword and shield.
I couldn’t help but be taken aback by Allie’s voice that burst out like a rapid-fire cannon. Aren’t you too excited? Big hobgoblins are running right in front of you?

“I’m going crazy!! Please follow the tempo!”

Just at that moment!
Ally, who was bending her knees, jumped in front of her. She started charging her diminutive halfling at the approaching Hobgoblin. Me and Kate, who were watching from behind her, opened their mouths at the same time.

“That bitch, that bitch!!”
“Are you a troll?!”

Before long, Allie collided with two hobgoblins. Of course, there was no way a small halfling could defeat the Hobgoblin single-handedly. As she ran away, Allie began to be beaten like her dog.

“Kyaaak!! The bone was hit!! The bone was hit!! You bastard goblins!!”

Brute, who had been silently watching the scene, threw a word.

“That dwarf, help!”

The Brute lunged forward with his spear. The hobgoblins were forced to fall back by the menacingly thrusting brute. In that gap, I finally completed the water whip.

“Hold on well, Mr. Brut!”

I twisted my shoulder and swung the water whip. The water whip, which stretched out as it twisted, landed on the Hobgoblin’s chest. The flesh burst and the Hobgoblin let out a scream.

“Protect!! Wizard!!”

Another hobgoblin glared at me. At that moment, the Brute slammed him into the shoulder, knocking the Hobgoblin away. The hobgoblin who was looking at me turned his gaze to the Brute while gnashing his teeth.

After all, a soup-type dealer!
Lizardmen who can’t communicate is the most trustworthy person in this place!

I clenched my molars and whipped the whip frantically at the Hobgoblin. Fortunately, there was no Ally within range of the whip. Because in the blink of an eye she rolled across her floor and dodged her sideways.

Kiyiyiyi profit!!

Hobgoblin collapses on the floor screaming.
I whipped the head of the hobgoblin on her knees. Like a hobgoblin with a strong grip, he couldn’t send it with one shot. After hitting her on the head exactly three times, the Hobgoblin slammed her head into the ground.

Key profit…

A resounding agony!
I shouted at the brute holding the other one.

“Caught one! Well done!”
“Strike this goblin bastard!!”

Brute was blocking Hobgoblin’s club with his spear. The moment the club went deep, the Brute cleverly struck the club with a spear. At the same time, he bit the Hobgoblin’s neck while letting out a vicious roar.

“No, I asked.”
“Dongma-nim! It’s a crocodile! A crocodile-!”

The wide open mouth of a crocodile bit the hobgoblin tightly. The hobgoblin struggles, but never escapes the brute’s muzzle. I swung the water whip and hit the surviving Hobgoblin.

“The best lizardman!”
“Kurrrr-!!”

The bodies of the Brute and Hobgoblin overlap, but it doesn’t matter to me. All I had to do was modify the trajectory of the water whip with magic. I whirled around the two beasts and hit the Hobgoblin’s broad back. Was it when he swung it ten times? The Hobgoblin, who finally died, was limp, bitten by a Brute.

“Kyaooooo-!!”

A brute that roars while spitting out flesh.
It was at that moment that I realized how Brute qualified for the promotion match. Even if you don’t understand the language, you do amazing tanking like that, but the tier has no choice but to go up. It is said that he is not a talented person who will stay in the deep sea of ​​Bronze.

Of course, the halfling side seems to be bronze.

“Su, please give me some heels, sister!”
“Allie-sama! You can’t run out alone like that!”
“Sorry, I missed the tempo a little bit.”

I looked at Allie lying on the floor with a cold expression.
Now that I know who to be most wary of in this quest.
