Chapter 132 – People With the Same Name -2-

“Roman…You stupid bastard!! Come up quickly!”

It was really a moment.

The tavern that used to be noisy became quiet at his own words. The chilly air was so frightening that chicken meat appeared on my skin.

Some adventurers put fear in their eyes and looked at others other than themselves.

Those who were drunk and unconscious were also looking at a table other than themselves, unable to hide their interest.

There were also characters who couldn’t keep up with the rapidly changing atmosphere like herself.

In common, they are new adventurers who are newcomers or adventurers who have come from outside the country seeking a promotion with them.

Dreuk-

A muscular man pushed a chair and stood up.

Jerk- jerk-

Stood in front of his own.

The man, who had been staring down from a high gaze for a long time, asked briefly with a question.

“Why?”

Alice paused at the man who suddenly asked ‘why’ in front of her.

‘···Why all of a sudden? Why? What question?’

There were countless men flirting with her both in Edelman and in the capital, but this was the first time.

Unlike men who try to seduce you with lust, you can see that there is no malice in the calm gaze that does not show any selfishness.

However, the overwhelming sense of intimidation she could face and feel up close stimulated the dragon blood flowing in Alice’s body, and frantically sounded a warning that this person was really dangerous.

Because the other person doesn’t have murderous intent against him, but he also doesn’t have good intentions.

A transcendent fear that is frightened by its very existence.

It was the first experience she had in her life.

This man realized by his instincts that he was the most dangerous and strongest man he had ever met in his life.

An unexpected moment of crisis.

While he was worried about whether he should take out a defense magic, his instincts stopped him saying that shouldn’t be the case.

What flashed quickly through my congested mind was a conversation I had with my parents.

…

In the past, I asked my parents when I was solving Roman and adventurer requests at Edelman.

That day, when he became a silver-level adventurer and had a small celebration with his parents.

The atmosphere with his family, who sincerely congratulated him on his growth and promotion, was so good that he was able to ask without hesitation.

At the time he made the explosive remark that he was an adventurer, he thought he would somehow stop it, but why did he allow it so coolly?

ㅡAs with this father, there is a story that non-pureblood dragons are timid and avoid danger well no matter what they do to live long.

His father said that if he had been a pure-blooded dragon, he would not have allowed him to die as an adventurer.

I heard that the pure-blooded dragons, who are the de facto rulers of the federation and considered strong, voluntarily seek out dangerous places to enjoy fighting the strong.

In the beginning, when the dragon race was born, the sense of crisis and the strong developed to survive.

I don’t know how their temper evolved over time, but it is a characteristic of pure-blooded dragons that they claim to be honored to live and fight on the battlefield for the rest of their lives by using that sense against them.

My father said that the blood of a dragon race, less than half as young as himself, would be best suited for the job of adventurer.

A simple strong body is not important. Although the dragon race’s unique sense of detecting a crisis and discriminating the strong remains.

The fighting spirit of the pure-blood dragon race is completely missing.

Even if the process was ugly, it was suitable for adventurers who had to aim for survival as the highest goal.

“Hey there- get away from Alice.

“…What is this?”

Roman, who had been drinking among the female adventurers at her own dislike, approached and stood behind the man.

No matter how much he drank in the short time he was waiting upstairs, Roman’s drunken face turned red.

When Roman, who was still in the spirit of alcohol, put his hand on the sword at his waist, the muscular man made a face of exhilaration – and at the same time a loud noise broke out in the tavern.

Udang-tang-tang!

-Ohhh!! How much is this!!!
-As expected, it’s good that young people outside are fearless!
– There is a challenger since Nottingham with One Eye…
-A unicorn from the adventurer’s guild has appeared-!!!
…
…

Cheers erupted from the adventurers who were drinking at the tavern, and those who got up from their seats holding bottles and food began to gather around them.

– What about betting?
-Why do you bet on something with an obvious outcome?
-Well… But it’s good if it’s fun!
– Baby! Cheer up! If you die, I’ll pour alcohol over your corpse!
…
…

Seeing the adventurers gathering and making strange noises, Alice realized that something was definitely going wrong.

‘This is something strange… No, it’s dangerous!’

As a result of her being in the capital’s adventurer’s guild, it was common for adventurers to fight each other in an underground tavern.

Even when the territorial adventurers of the capital and the adventurers of other places had a fistfight, everyone laughed and cheered, saying it was fun, but it was an enjoyable atmosphere.

With this level of anticipation in her eyes, she didn’t go crazy and go on a rampage.

The madness that started to heat up the atmosphere as if trying to keep her off her feet. Roman, a member of his own party who stood behind the man and grabbed the knife, was also taken aback by the strange situation.

The man standing in front was using his little finger to dig into his ear with a troubled face as if he was familiar with this atmosphere.

Seeing Roman shake the handle of her sword, Alice hurriedly tried to stop it.

“Now, wait! Stop!”

“It’s okay, Alice. I’ll adjust my strength.”

The sword was pulled out of Roman’s hand, and the sword swung around, drawing a trajectory that the body remembered even when drunk.

…

Jjaeng-!

“Oops!! Oooh!!”

Even her eyes, which are proud of her dynamic vision, do not know what happened in an instant.

Roman’s sword, which was supposed to cut through the opponent, shattered and scattered like broken glass.

Grasping his abdomen, Roman fell to his knees and spat soggy vomit from his mouth.

-Boo!! Is it already over!
– Little boy! Use your strength!

As the adventurers booed around him, the muscular man growled with a nervous expression and put a bluff around him.

“Shut up and everyone go back to their seats. You won’t be able to talk because it’s too noisy.”

-Kuhmm…
– Ah~ The food will get cold.
-Bar, let’s eat!

The adventurers, who had been gathered like bees, looked sad with their mouths sticking out at his words, but they did not resist at all and scattered neatly.

The absurd sight of adventurers, most of whom had strong personalities and reluctant idiots, led by a young man, further aggravated her fear.

“Where are the adventures from?”

“Eh, Edelman…”

He stepped on the back of Roman’s head as he buried his face in the vomit and scratched his chin, lost in thought.

“Hmm- Edelman. So why did you call me?”

It felt like something was out of sync with each other from a while ago. He wasn’t making a joke to tease himself, and he wasn’t flirting.

“I just came down to find a party member…”

“This?”

When he pointed to Roman lying on the floor, he nodded hastily. After looking at the floor and being silent for a long time, he asked again as if something had popped into his head.

“What’s this guy’s name?”

“Ro… Only.”

Honorifics that were not usually used with adventurers came naturally.

The man let out a deep sigh and gave an answer with a face that said he had finally recovered.

“My name is also Roman.”

At the same time, Alice’s head quickly understood the situation.

“···Ah!”

And really, it was hard to open my mouth because I had reached the idea that this person might be ‘the person’ at once.

The man who looked down at himself and said his name was Roman said as if admonishing him.

“It’s happened a few times so far, and I know that misunderstandings have happened to each other. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with you.”

“…!”

The man, who continued to speak in a flat tone as if he had no intention of doing anything to himself using this situation as an excuse, finally looked at Roman, who was being stepped on by his feet.

“Still, I can’t forgive this guy who brandishes a knife right before he can tell the story.”

It wasn’t really wrong. It was his friend who attacked his opponent first.

“That- I’m sorry! You’re a member of my party…!”

“Don’t worry. Today is a good day… Shall I forgive my bad hand habits with an arm?

The man who picked up Roman’s sword, which was smashed and rolled on the floor, never looked like he was enjoying a joke.

The serious atmosphere that radiated from her raised sword made Alice’s feet tumble.

‘Oh, what to do! Shall I accept more apologies in words…?’

In the end, no one else was her salvation line that came down to Alice, who was about to rob even the wealth in her pocket with her trembling hands.

Again – Again –

“Roman-sama. A guest who was supposed to come today has arrived. If you’re busy, shall we take the guest to the reception room?”

When the receptionist said something business-related, his face, which had been hardened indifferently, relaxed with a sloppy smile.

The guild’s receptionist came down the stairs and saw this violent scene, but he wasn’t particularly surprised.

“Oh yeah? Thank you for doing that! I’ll be there right away.”

Holding Roman’s sword cut in half in one hand, he frowned and clicked his tongue.

Ding-gang-!

“Tsk- You shouldn’t get blood on your hands before something good happens… The people there.”

Throwing his sword on the floor, he pointed his gaze at himself and pointed it out.

“Yes! Yes, yes!”

“If he wakes up later, clean the entire tavern.

All he can do is nod his head frantically.

As if he was satisfied with that, he removed the shoe that was stepping on the back of Roman’s head, who was buried in the vomit, and whistled as he stepped on the stairs.

“Ha···!”

Alice, who had held her breath until the man had completely disappeared from the stairs, collapsed on the spot as her legs gave out.

I don’t have the energy to get up right now.

A woman with pink hair and a man who looked like a bear approached Alice, who was staring blankly at her friend who had lost consciousness after having her face buried in vomit.

“Lady. I don’t know what happened to him so easily… But the party members were lucky.”

“Are you okay? I’m so glad that Roman looks in a good mood today.”

Alice barely stood up, holding the hand of the pink-haired woman who reached out to her with a benevolent smile.
