Chapter 94 – Debut
“Jun!”
Fortuna puffing up her cheeks like a pufferfish.
It looks like he’s quite angry, as even his wings are stiffly erected.
It felt like if I left it as is, my head would be broken by her hammer later.
Jun quickly extended her hand to Fortuna.
“Sorry, sorry. Stop without even realizing it. Let go of your anger, okay?”
“I don’t know! Jun is an idiot! Idiot! Grumpy!”
Although she was in front of others, she made a mistake, so June endured her shame and tried to kiss Fortuna’s face.
However, she stretched out her arms and blocked his lips.
‘I’m so sorry, Por. I thought you were asking me to reveal that you were an angel, so I did it because I was embarrassed.’
Jun quickly apologized again and explained why he had no choice but to do so.
“… Hmph.”
As if the apology and reason were valid, Fortuna slowly lowered her arm that was covering her lips.
Then she held out her puffy cheeks as if to tell her to relieve herself because she was still angry.
Jun smiled heartily and kissed all over her face.
“Hey~. The kiss is so nice~”
Soon her cheeks, puffed up like a puffer fish, melted like warm steamed buns, and her stiff wings fluttered gently like a puppy when in a good mood.
“… Fuck, what are you doing now?”
The rat, who was laughing at the emergency food drip, looks down as if he didn’t see anything.
Jun paid no heed to her and spoke to her as he affectionately stroked Fortuna, who was showing off her charms.
“We, Por, are not just fairies. He handles sacred techniques at a high level and also has special supernatural powers. “What a great kid he is.”
“Ahem!”
“I saw it in your self-introduction. They say that supernatural powers grant good luck. Big! I envy you. “You’re lucky if you get what you need in the labyrinth.”
“Ehehem!”
“That’s right. Sometimes there’s nothing like luck.”
“It is used for a variety of purposes, such as when opening treasure chests, obtaining by-products, and when falling into traps.”
“Hey! Fairy girl! Come to me! I’ll be good to you!”
“Ehehehem!”
Fortuna’s arrogance rose higher than ever due to Jun’s praise, Tatsu’s fuss, and the response of those around her who had been watching her closely since the rat appeared.
“I feel good! Be blessed!”
“””Woooooh!”””
Fortuna, very excited, started flying around her and scattering her blessings.
I was going to stop him, but I stopped after realizing that the blessing was just a low-level buff that temporarily amplified physical abilities.
Some adventurers seemed to realize that, but Fortuna’s behavior was so cute that she didn’t bother to say it out loud.
“Joy! Even if I were to give it to you, I would give it as much as my own booger.”
“Where is that? Who knows, you might just barely survive or hit the jackpot thanks to a little bit of luck. And you rat, if you’re jealous, just say you’re jealous. Don’t put the other person down. It makes me want to fucking hit you.”
“Tsk! Hey, Shinppin!”
The rat gritted his teeth as if he was angry at Tatsu’s warning, and without even being able to squeak at him again, he called out to Jun.
The more I looked at him, the more pathetic he was.
“Why?”
“Why? Why? That damn thing is so short. You want to die! Oh!”
“Puh-ha-ha!”
“You bastard, split something!”
Tatsu bursts into laughter upon hearing the rat’s warning.
This time, the rat seemed to be unable to control his anger and screamed at Tatsu.
“You’re going to kill Jun? Arthur, it will be you who dies, not Jun.”
Crack!
“I am the one exploring the 30th floor! “I’m going to lose to Shinpin, who hasn’t even entered the labyrinth yet!”
“Okay. If you fight a hundred times, you will win a hundred times. Can you give the guild leader a punch? This guy ate it. Very well.”
“… I guess he gave me a blow to push me away. You are a noble person who has been blessed by God and bear the stigmata, so why not do even that? Plus, triple core and all of them are green level? “Isn’t the proof series actually something that can be manipulated?”
The rat sarcastically glared at the stigmata on Jun and Tatsu’s hands as if they would kill them.
There was deep deprivation, anger, and jealousy in his eyes.
‘It really was there.’
A stigmata holder who has been blessed by God and given the stigmata.
Since they were blessed by God from birth, most people looked up to them as blessed people.
The various advantages they received using points further amplified the phenomenon.
However, not all people can be the same.
There were also those who were jealous of stigmata bearers and angry at the god who blessed them.
The religious denomination was very good at treating stigmata holders well, so their number was not very large.
So, this was Jun’s first time seeing someone like that.
‘Is this really the first time?’
Maybe it was because I was receiving hostile looks, but that thought suddenly occurred to me.
There must have been quite a few people who harbored hostile feelings like rats. It’s just that I didn’t express my feelings openly because I was afraid of God and the church.
Jealousy and anger are the most basic human emotions.
No matter how much God and the church try to kill those emotions, they will never be able to completely kill them.
Look at the evidence.
Even though there are clear figures and eyewitness accounts, people nod their heads as if the rat’s opinion is plausible.
Their eyes contained a faint hint of jealousy and anger, although not as much as that of a rat.
“Hey, Tatsu. Isn’t the reason you support this guy because you actually have the same stigmata? You guys are special. Biting and sucking at each other while saying unintelligible words.”
“No, this bastard keeps babbling endlessly because he wants to see you.” Hey, do you really want to get beat up?”
“Hi. Are you going to use the blessings you received from God to beat up this insignificant thing? That’s right, you idiot.”
“Oh, bite me.”
Tatsu stood up, grabbing the rat by the collar, raising his other hand and clenching his fist.
Even at a glance, his fist looked heavy.
Just when that fist was about to be swung to turn the rat’s face into a mush,
Tak!
“Tatsu, hold on.”
Jun extended his arm and stopped it.
Tatsu looked at Jun with hot but unwavering eyes.
In response, Jun tapped his chest as if asking him to leave it to him and spoke to the rat.
“What do you want?”
“Well, look at this guy. Speak informally to a senior who is like the sky. Are you crazy?”
“What kind of senior is like the sky? A bastard who suddenly approaches me and starts a fight. It’s okay, you don’t come here like this because you want something. Either that or blow it fast.”
That guy said it earlier. He said he was an adventurer exploring the 30th floor.
What that means is that he is a mid-level adventurer who knows everything about exploration, but would such a person actually try to take away a request that was officially received rather than just take a quick look?
No way. If you withdraw an officially accepted request, not only will you be charged a penalty, but your credibility and guild points will be reduced. Therefore, it was safe to say that there were very few adventurers who would withdraw the requests they had received.
Even Jun, who had just become an adventurer, knew that.
Did the rat really not know such basic things?
He must have known. Nevertheless, the fact that they are being forceful and arguing means that they have something else they want.
‘And there is a high probability that what you want is from me, not Tatsu.’
Jun leaned back in his chair arrogantly, as if asking for something to say.
Then,
“I heard you are so good. Let’s take a look at your skills. “It’s not fun to just do it, so I bet.”
The rat took out a piece of paper from her arms and placed it on her table, revealing her true feelings.
“Hmm.”
The paper was a contract. The content written inside was simple.
Jun and Trichy (probably the name of the rat) compete, and when the winner is decided, the loser follows one command from the winner.
There was only one content: However, there was no separate mention of the extent of the order.
“What is the extent of the command written here?”
Tatsu, who was reading the contract together, asked Rat, or rather Trichy, if that was something he was concerned about.
Trichi responded with an unpleasant smile.
“Of course, it’s based on common sense. For example, join our party and become a porter.”
“Ask a green-level talented person to just be a porter? “Do you think that makes sense?”
“Why doesn’t it make sense? Most new recruits start like that. Just because you have some skills doesn’t mean you should skip it. Hey! “Isn’t it!”
When Trichy looked around and shouted, several adventurers nodded.
Thanks to this, Trichi gained momentum and now began to taunt openly.
“Oh, I’m sorry. You don’t understand. With God’s blessing, I was able to walk straight from the bottom without falling. Still, bear with it. I don’t know about you, but this is an extremely common sense command.”
“What is that!”
“Good. Just sign here.”
“Jun!”
Tatsu was shocked and tried to stop Jun, but by then Jun had already signed the contract.
“Hey friend! Why are you so impatient!”
“Trust me, my friend. Even so, I’m the one who gave a shit to this neighborhood guy.”
“I know that, but honestly, when I said earlier that if we fight 100 times, you will win 100 times, I was exaggerating to save your spirit. Fighting that bastard is different from fighting the guild leader. “How dirty and despicable that bastard’s fighting style is.”
“Uh huh. “Don’t even talk about it in front of the person involved.”
Even as Trichi said that, he didn’t know that the corners of his mouth would drop because he was so happy.
How long can this happen?
Jun thought to himself as he stretched out his finger and pointed to the sword Trichi was wearing at his waist.
“If I win the fight, give me that sword.”
“… Are you saying you know what this sword is? It is a silver grade item. “I hope you wish, bastard.”
Trichy grinds his teeth as if this is nonsense.
Jun, who had one platinum level item and three gold level items, was going to ask if he was leaving for the campaign with only a silver level item, but when he saw the reactions of those around him exclaiming ‘Oh!’, He gave up and said what he had thought of in advance.
“Does it make sense for a mid-level adventurer with silver-grade items to compete against a beginner who has just become an adventurer? “Don’t you think so too?”
This time, Jun looked around and shouted.
Perhaps thanks to Fortuna showering blessings earlier, many people nodded and agreed with Jun’s opinion.
A few people seemed to nod their heads out of hostility toward Trichy.
Now I see that this guy isn’t just talking shit to people with stigmata.
“… Okay, this is good. “I will do as you wish, so wake up, bastard.”
“Wait a moment.”
“Why. Are you scared now?”
“That’s not it. “You don’t have to drink what you ordered.”
Before he knew it, Jun was handed a special cup by Yuna, who quietly approached him.
Trichy, who was in high spirits, seemed to have something interesting to see, and the adventurers who followed him also turned pale when they realized that the cup overflowing was an elixir.
In the meantime, Jun asked Yuna for a separate favor and then asked Tatsu.
“How does that guy fight? “Please explain briefly.”
“Uh? Uh. Well, you can think of him as an assassin who knows how to do close combat. “My swordsmanship is okay, but the poison on the sword and the occasional throwing weapon are tricky.”
“Okay? Now I see he was a good friend.”
“… What?”
Jun smiled at Tatsu, who gave her a puzzled look, and began to drink the elixir.
Neither this friend nor that friend would even know in their dreams.
The assassin that Jun has been dealing with tirelessly for five years.
I imagined the expression Trichy would make after winning or losing, and today there was a leap forward…
‘Woof!’
It wasn’t particularly sweet.
Still, I was able to drink it happily because I thought I would get free items.
