Chapter 2 – As Desired (1)
“Hey, what did you just say?”
“What can I say? I just told the truth.”
Dredd, who was drunk and had a slightly red face, laughed and looked at Kalt with a disdainful look.
“Maybelle’s party during the day… An announcement was made in the guild that the fastest warrior’s party was looking for new members. Maybelle, Ianna, and Marty were there. Then, all was said and done.”
Dredd let go of her hand and tapped her index finger on Kalt’s shoulder.
Without hiding his disdainful gaze at all.
It’s like looking at an abandoned loser.
“You’re saying you’re going to throw away useless people and find useful ones, aren’t you? Are you being excessive?”
Having said all he wanted to say, Dread chuckled and tried to catch Jenna again.
But Dread’s hand never grabbed Jenna’s wrist.
“Haa… Fuck, really. Now I’m even looking down on people like you.”
Kalt’s hand caught Dread’s wrist as it tried to reach out to Jenna.
“What a big idiot.”
“What? What is this stubborn bastard fussing about?”
Dread glared at his kalt and clenched his other hand into a fist.
“I felt bad about being abandoned, so I tried to ignore it. Are you getting beaten up? Are you upset because your usually bright and smiling child was abandoned?”
I had the desire to live a good life and always smiled when dealing with people.
Dread didn’t like Kalt in the first place.
There are times when it seems as if they are advertising that I am nice, but the biggest reason is different.
He had been nagged by a fellow party member to not get into trouble and to learn from Kalt of the fastest hero party.
Dredd didn’t like being compared to anyone, so he couldn’t look at Kalt in a positive light, and he didn’t like every single thing Kalt did, not just his smile.
“Damn.”
But now, Kalt’s face doesn’t have that youthful smile.
What was directed at Dredd was an annoyed look at the idiot.
Kalt has decided to live a good life, but she is not so pushy that she smiles at a guy who swears and openly criticizes her in front of her.
Moreover, now that I have decided to live my life as I want after leaving the party.
Kalt decided to act more honestly with his heart.
“What kind of bullshit is a guy who got rejected by a girl talking about?”
“What?”
Kalt decided to give the choice to Dread first.
“Aren’t you clueless? Just looking at Jenna, she doesn’t like it, but the temptation is so damn good. The bigger you are, the bigger your thinking head should be, right? Ah. Is it because the head is just big and there’s nothing inside?”
“This bastard!”
“Aaaaah!”
Dread, caught by Kalt’s provocation, let his anger take over and swung his fist at Kalt.
Xena, who was close by, screamed and reflexively covered her face, and those watching around her also imagined Kalt being hit by Dredd’s fist and flying away.
But.
“It’s not worth it.”
“W-what…!”
“Huh?”
What happened was the exact opposite of what they thought.
Kalt did not fly.
Rather, he was holding Dread’s fist in front of him.
“No way! A bastard who barely works as a chore gets my fist!”
“Who is the chore worker?”
Since I’m really quiet, there are strange rumors going around.
Kalt wasn’t particularly interested in rumors, but he was shocked to hear Dredd’s words.
Kalt was in charge of the party’s meal.
It would be a big problem if you got sick from eating strange food during the request.
You need to eat nutritious food to use your energy.
In the first place, the tastes of this world were not subtly my taste.
Kalt was also in charge of equipment selection.
Because Maybelle has no eyes for her equipment and her ears are thin.
Kalt carried most of the miscellaneous luggage.
Most of them contain cooking utensils and other necessary items for Kalt to use.
Kalt was reluctant to entrust his belongings to others.
If there’s anything more to carry, it’s Maybelle’s burden that I had to carry so hard.
However, with just that, people around him had the perception that Kalt was a porter or a chore worker.
From the beginning, Kalt’s main role was as a vanguard, not as a choreographer.
Maybelle, who jumps out at will and doesn’t care about the distance, has to deal with the monsters she missed so that they don’t get to her rearguards, Ianna and Marti.
Or, they have come together while protecting the square of Maybelle, who is called the fastest warrior.
To achieve this, Kalt’s strength was never weak as he trained his body every day without missing training.
Because I know my own efforts better than anyone else.
Because he knows more than anyone else the role he has played.
Kalt was dumbfounded by the fact that something disparaging about him came from the mouth of Dread, who barely had this kind of power.
“Profit!”
Dread put strength into both hands and tried to shake off Kalt’s hand.
“Let go! Let go, you little bastard! How dare you do that!”
“Ha, you still don’t understand the topic? I really haven’t thought about it.”
Kalt let go of his fist.
Suddenly, his hand was released and Dread’s fist swung backwards.
Dredd, who was drunk and unable to properly judge the difference in skill between himself and Kalt, put all his strength into his fist that swung behind him.
“Aaaaah!”
She swung her fist at Kalt’s face.
In the eyes of Kalt, who was working with Maybelle, who was said to be the fastest warrior, that fist was so slow that it made you yawn.
As if to prove it, Kalt clenched his free hand into a fist and quickly drove his fist into Dread’s side.
Wow!
“Big!”
The fist that was swinging due to the unexpected pain stopped, and the hand naturally moved to the area where the pain was felt.
Dredd couldn’t breathe properly and couldn’t tell what had just happened.
“You only have one room? Can you play your part in a hero party with that?”
Wow! And Kalt hit Dread’s chin with his palm.
“Uh…”
Dread’s legs lose strength.
When Kalt let go of the wrist he was still holding, Dread fell forward with a flutter.
“Wow, I can’t believe Dread was defeated so easily.”
“What, what? What happened?”
“Wasn’t that guy just a porter?”
Murmurs of people who were surprised by the scene that unfolded before their eyes floated around the store.
Kalt was in a bad mood today.
Just as I was barely trying to solve an already frustrating problem, I heard something that irritated me and made me feel even worse.
Therefore, Kalt, who decided to live his life as he wanted, decided not to end there and punish Dredd who had offended him one more time.
Squatting down, Kalt reached out to Dread, who was still unconscious.
“Uh, ugh…”
Dread’s eyes, which had not yet lost consciousness, lost focus due to the pain.
Kalt said, making a noise so quiet that Dread could hear it.
“Hey, you’re a guy who can’t even act like a man from now on. You’re a guy who can’t stand up properly in front of a woman.”
Kalt tapped Dread’s cheek with his outstretched hand.
And he spoke so that everyone around him could hear.
“Baby. I passed out after being hit a few times.”
Kalt got up, grabbed Dredd’s feet and dragged him out of the store, then returned to the store, sat down at his seat and continued eating.
“Hey, hey, Mr. Kalt.”
Jenna spoke to Kalt, who was eating.
“Thank you for your help.”
“Thank you. Are you okay with the hand that that bastard grabbed?”
“Yes. I don’t know what to thank you for.”
“It’s all I have to be thankful for…”
The car that tried to tell me not to worry about Kalt.
Jenna’s body came into view.
The cause that is currently responsible to some extent for the sales of the store where Kalt is located.
That was because Jenna, the leading lady, had a decent appearance by the standards of this town.
Brown hair that reached her shoulders and a cute face.
A chest with a sizable fruit that looks very appetizing to a man.
Most men who visit this store come to see Jenna.
Kalt was always thinking about what to do with the warrior party’s schedule and support.
However, she left Maybelle’s party and Jenna came into the sight of Kalt, who vowed to live more faithfully to her own desires.
Kalt looked Xena up and down quickly so that no one noticed her.
The body is also good.
More than anything, she just helped out, so she’s showing a little favor to herself.
Kalt made a judgment based on her observational skills, which were naturally honed through her combat experience.
‘This… If I touch it just a little, it will come over, right?’
Looking back, she thought that Kalt had lived too sincerely.
She decided to live a good life and repay the kindness of her parents.
After that, for the next few years, she was busy repaying the kindness of Maybelle’s parents who took care of her and taking care of the tomboy who became a warrior.
And in all those years, she has never hugged a woman.
‘In my past life, I did things on false days.’
If you think about it, she probably did something very sorry to her son in this life.
“Jenna.”
“Yes, Mr. Kalt.”
Kalt spread her hands towards Xena.
“Uh…”
Kalt said after noticing that Jenna’s eyes had lost focus.
“After the store, come out to the back alley. Tell me how you can thank me.”
“… Yes, Mr. Kalt.”
When Xena’s focus returned, Kalt said with a small smile.
“See you later, Jenna.”
“Yeah? Oh, yeah! See you later!”
