Chapter 451 – Chapter 451 – Gale and Bad Flame

“Raifa…”

“Why? You have to do this hot?”

“It’s so loud… It hurts your ears.”

“Ahaha! I’m sorry about that!”

Adventurers started whispering around them.

“Who are those two?”

“Why are you looking for Dungeon Crasher?”

“By the way, I can’t see you today?”

“It’s a holiday, so, besides, Lenny-san is also a holiday today.”

“Oh, is today the day? Somehow, Thunder Spear and Shadow Cat went to the training ground alone.”

“… I don’t think he’s here, Raifa?”

“What is it? Is it a waste of time? Well, if you wait at the guild, we’ll meet.”

It was then.

“Huh? Who’s looking for Rant?”

In the place where you can see the training ground, a black cat, a cat-human thief woman, and a pink-haired, pink-haired thief following her, probably… A female spearman who appeared to be an elf came out.

Obviously, the name of Dungeon Crasher is Rant.

It was easy to infer that she was involved in Dungeon Crasher, judging from the name she had on her lips her and the friendly feeling she had just said.

The same goes for Raifa.

Raifa grinned and approached the black cat woman.

“Hey, there’s a black cat! Do you know where the Dungeon Crasher is?”

“What’s your business with Rant? Who are you more than that? Are those clothes… From Bridan?”

“Oh, I didn’t introduce myself. Yes! As you said, I am Raifa Tizan from Breedan! I came here because I was curious about what kind of guy the rumored Dungeon Crasher is! Well, I’m also looking for a Western sense!”

“A sense of the West?”

The spearman standing next to the Myoin woman looked me up and down once and then asked.

“Is the elf girl there with you?”

“Yes! Hey, Gracia! You should also introduce yourself!”

“Haa… I got it.”

A more modest way would have been nice if possible.

But what has already happened cannot be helped.

I went ahead and started the introduction.

“I’m from Bridan, just like Raifa next to me… I’m called Graycia Locke. My purpose is to be curious about what kind of person a Dungeon Crasher is… And to find someone who will become Mr. West.”

“Hmm~ What kind of person is Rant… I know you’re curious, but what’s the point of finding a sense of the West?”

“Finding a sense of the West is finding a sense of the West. Raifa and I are looking for a strong man who will become our master… Since I’m older, I have to think about getting married.”

“Oh, how is that?”

“That’s… It’s a big deal.”

“”Yes?””

For some reason, the reaction of the two is strange.

What to say… It was a mixture of bewilderment and a little sympathy.

“… Hey, Nina. Are you on the same level as Lelia-san?”

“Umm ~ It doesn’t seem like Lelia’s level of concern is as serious as unnie’s. Maybe she’s just getting older, so maybe she’s looking for it?”

“Is it not?”

“… What’s wrong?”

“Huh? Ah, no. It’s nothing! Oh, but age is me. How old are you two?”

“We are 25 years old.”

“I see. He’s 5 years older than me. But at 25, is he in a hurry to get married?”

“Of course, after this age, you’re going to be a complete old virgin? There’s almost no hope if you’re over 30.”

At Raifa’s words her, the woman who appeared to be an elf broke into a cold sweat beside her.

“That, is that so? I think there’s hope even if you’re over 30…”

Could she possibly be a single woman over 30?

If so, I have unintentionally said something very rude.

“Hey, more than that, please introduce who you are.”

“Ah, that’s right! I’m Noah! I’m 20 years old and this is…”

“Call me Nina~. Age is 28.”

Hmm? Contrary to expectations, he was only slightly older than us.

Then, what was the reaction…

No, let’s prioritize the purpose of coming here now.

“Noah, Mr. Niña, as we say, Dungeon Crasher… I’m very curious about what kind of person Rant is and how strong he is. Can you tell me where he is?”

The cheeky cold woman setting is a setting made by Raifa that only men can do.

There is no need for such a contrived attitude towards women.

The woman, who introduced herself as Noah, spread her fingers, she said.

“If it’s Rant, he’s in Lenny’s dorm, fox’s shelter, library, and magic city.”

“Hehe, Noah, don’t you get confused when you say that?”

“But it’s real.”

“… Before I came here, I heard a little bit of information about Dungeon Crasher from an adventurer.

“Hee hee, I must have known in advance.”

The reaction of a woman named Noah.

Judging from that reaction and the details I just told you, she’s talking about Dungeon Crasher and… They seemed very close.

Of course, the elf woman next to her too.

“Excuse me, but… What kind of relationship do you two have with Dungeon Crasher?”

Noah was the first to answer my question.

“With Rant? Hee hee, we are in love with Rant♡ We are lovers♡”

Noah speaks with a smile.

And Niña-san next to her… He was smiling and affirming.

I met their lovers first than the person responsible for the unexpected Dungeon Crasher.

“What is it… The lovers of a bastard?”

“Raifa…!”

Raifa stopped saying her mistake.

We don’t know anything specific about Dungeon Crashers yet.

However, Raifa insulted him in front of Dungeon Crasher’s lovers.

“Ah.”

Raifa too belatedly realized his mistake of her.

“Yes?”

“A bastard?”

For a moment, Noah’s eyes narrowed and he looked at Raifa with her hostile gaze.

“Hey… What did that just mean?”

It was a cool voice, not the bright and lively feeling he had just had.

A misunderstanding here… No, my intuition told me that I should admit my fault and apologize.

“I’m sorry. That… This Raifa basically has a naive side that prefers a one-on-one romance… I had a bad impression of Dungeon Crashers that I had only heard rumors about.”

“Hey, Graycia! The innocent side! Isn’t it common sense in the first place!”

“You should apologize first, Raifa!”

At my scream, Raifa flinched.

“Ugh…”

Raifa scratched his head in embarrassment and apologized to Mr. Noah and Niña.

“I-I’m sorry. Of course, being insulted by a lover… Would be unpleasant. I heard that he’s a guy who flirts with as many as 8 women… I just imagined it badly.”

To Raifa’s apologies.

“… Ah, that was it.”

Fortunately, Noah withdrew her hostile gaze and returned to her lively appearance of her.

“Hee hee, well~ Rant is a flirt with no fidelity~”

“Actually, he’s the best man who loves us all♡”

“Yes yes!”

“Once again, I apologize for the rude remarks of my friend Raifa.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m fine right now.”

“It could have been misunderstood enough~♪ Oh, but I have a question~”

“What is it?”

“Didn’t you two say you were looking for a western feel?”

“Yes.”

“There must be quite a distance from Bridan to Fledan… Wasn’t there anyone on the way who could be a Westerner?”

“Unfortunately, none of the men fit our criteria.”

“Because everyone was weaker than us!Haha!”

“Ooh~ You look pretty talented when you say that? Do you have an adventurer dog tag?”

“Of course! In Bridan, they’re A-rank adventurers. Ah, according to the warrior who stays at the same inn as the Dungeon Crasher I saw last time, they say we’re on par with A-rank here, right ?”

“Huh? The warrior who stays at the fox’s shelter…? Maybe Kizal? I haven’t seen him lately.”

“Ah… That’s probably the name. They say they’re on an escort request.”

“I see…”

“I heard a lot about fighting him and winning. The number of dungeon crashers increased, flying in the sky. And that there were 8 women.

“Hee hee hee, yes, it could be. But we are so in love with Rant to the point where honey flows instead of sesame seeds~♡”

“Um… Is it really?”

“Really, no ♡”

While Raifa was talking to Noah, Mr. Niña asked me a question.

“Hey, are you also an A-rank adventurer in Bridan?”

“Ah yes.”

“Do you have a nickname or something?”

“Yes, I’m a flurry of Raifa.”

“Wow, flurry and flames… That’s a cool nickname? I’m called Ninya of Thunder Spear. Noah is called Shadow Cat. We’re both B ranks.”

B rank.

Compared to other regions, he is an A-rank equivalent.

However, Niña-san is right in front of you… It was vaguely felt that he was stronger than the warrior named Kizal, whom he fought the other day.

I want to meet Dungeon Crasher soon, but… As a body aiming for a knight.

No… As an unmanned soldier, I wanted to see how good Niña-san was.

“Hmm~♪”

Did you even read my thoughts?

Niña smiled and asked us.

“Hey, are you both planning to be in Fledan soon?”

“Huh? Well… I’ve been traveling for a month and came here, so I’m thinking of staying at least a week. I need to find a sense of the West.”

“Huh, that’s right. Then~ It’s fate that we met like this, so why don’t we try sparring? I was also in the middle of sparring with Noah…”

Nina looked at me.

“Because it seems like you want to check your skills as well ♪”

“Oh? What is it, Gracia, why are you belligerent?”

“No, I haven’t said anything yet…”

“I can tell by the look in your eyes. We’ve been together for several years. Hehe, I want to hang out with Noah too. Even if it’s my mistake… That cold gaze he gave me was quite nervous.. So strong.”

Grinning, Raifa showed her teeth and smiled when she wanted to fight very much.

I already knew from before that if I didn’t fight once at a time like that, I wouldn’t be satisfied.

◈-Lifa SIDE

The gaze caused by my hasty words.

A look of anger at being insulted by an important opponent.

A gaze that glared at you with the momentum to take your life if you crossed the line.

I felt the gaze of a proud warrior from Noah, a cat-cat woman.

To be honest, I didn’t think he was better than me.

But that gaze alone was so intense that it instantly made me chill.

You look weaker than me…

I had a strong feeling that fighting would be very thrilling and exciting.

Noah didn’t think she was a bad guy no matter how many times he talked to her.

He doesn’t forgive those who insult someone important to him, but he’s usually active and easy to talk to.

We only talked a few times, but I could feel the atmosphere.

But her gaze her just made her want to fight somehow.

When it does

Coincidentally, a woman named Niña next to her applied for sparring.

And fortunately, Graycia was also showing a strong determination to compete with the woman who looked like an elf next to her.

Gray Shea, while she says that she is different from me, she subtly doesn’t know that she has a strong desire to win or lose.

After all, when you put a strong person in front of you, your body itches because you want to check your skills.

And now I’m standing in the middle of Fledan’s training ground, facing Noah.

The first sparring was me and Noah.

Then there’s Gracia and Ninya.

“Hey, Noah. After the sparring, introduce me to Dungeon Crasher.”

“Okay~ But you can’t swear as soon as you meet or something like that?”

“I know. I know that I was wrong about what I said then. I will see with my own eyes what kind of person Dungeon Crasher is.”

“Hee hee, then I don’t care. Ah, but Rant is so cool that I fall in love with him or not? Well~ I’m welcome if I like Rant.”

Haha! You don’t have to worry about that. No matter how cool and strong I am, I like a man who is upright and only looks at me, right? Harem guys are my refusal.”

“Really~? Aren’t all Bridan women good as long as they’re strong men?”

“Well, there are women like that, but at least she is not me.

Set up your posture and prepare for sparring.

“What, right?”

Noah also drew her dagger and held her stance.

Quick feet and stable postural balance.

These are the basic qualities of a good warrior.

The foundation is very good.

“Aren’t you going to take out the remaining one?”

“Shouldn’t we taste it first?”

Haha, actually, you can enjoy it longer that way. Then… It’s the beginning!”

Percussion!

And me and Noah rushed at each other at the same time.

It’s a good sparring time!
