Chapter 166 – The Gap Between Rich and Poor
A red-haired woman responds with an evil smile when she puts on an expression of open contempt.
The long red hair that looked so red that it looked like it had blood in it, and the pure white skin that contrasted with it.
And her eyes, which are raised even more than Agnes, and the tear points add a strange color.
The way she stood proudly with her arms crossed in her revealing red dress seemed enough to capture the man’s heart in her own way.
Because of her meager breasts, her attractiveness as a woman converged to zero.
There’s even a damn personality that doesn’t come out with an answer.
“You noticed my presence and didn’t even say hello. This is the punishment.”
The Red Mage, Scarlett Bialistoke.
No… Should I call him the Red Mage Tower Master?
No matter how many times I put it in her mouth and roll it, it’s an unwilling pronunciation.
— Eagle Eagle…
Anyway, the heat pervading her whole body is quite hot.
It’s not a magic of a very high rank, but its power cannot be ignored as it was cast by a great wizard.
I waved my hand to put out all the remaining fire and let out a deep sigh.
“You talk nonsense. Are you going to burn down the whole place?”
“What did you say? I’ve adjusted my power in my own way? This body is delicate unlike anyone else’s.”
At the same time, she was also fortunate.
The Commander-in-Chief said that he was entrusting the command of the special forces to me.
Judging by the atmosphere, it seems that the intention is to select the right number of people from among those who are here.
In that case, it would be enough to just rule out the option of taking that guy in the first place.
Of course, the firepower is outstanding, but what the hell is the use of a madman who wants to burn everyone regardless of whether they are friends or family?
They say that all archmages are sages who have peeked at the fragments of the truth.
If you look at what she does, what is her truth. It’s to the point of doubting whether he just wants to see the whole world burn.
“I haven’t seen you in years, but that temper is still the same.”
“Pufu, hot-tempered? Are you in a position to point it out to me? Kyahaha! To hear such a thing from that lunatic slayer. It’s just absurd, utterly absurd.”
“You still won’t lose a single word.”
Even during the war, Scarlett was notorious among knights and other vanguards.
In fact, among those gathered here, those who had experience in the war recognized her face and started whispering among themselves.
“That, the red mage tower master… Why is that person here…?”
“Is the author okay even though he was hit directly by her magic? What a true iron man.”
“Damn it, even that crazy red witch…?
But, is it because someone’s horse-bond bird, who carelessly teased the tongue, was annoying to the young planting?
“Huh…?”
Scarlett glanced into the face of her hapless babbler, then frowned and tried to shake her hand.
Alas, damn it. Her head hurts
A lot of bad memories…
It’s already on the verge of breaking.
“Scarlett, don’t fuck with me. I warn you.”
I immediately went up to her and grabbed her wrist.
It was to stop me from doing anything stupid.
“Muh, what are you doing!”
Then, perhaps because of the heat in her head, she blushed and patted my hand, responding in a calm manner.
Then, with both of her hands on her waist, she pushed out her meager breasts and babbled.
“Fuck you? Excuse me. You still can’t say a word to her lady? So you’re not popular with women, you idiot.”
“Pufu…”
However, when the unexpected counterattack came back, I burst into laughter.
Well, in her memories, I must have been a lonely wooden man.
Maybe in the past, I would have felt a little bit bad.
But the insult of not being popular with women couldn’t hurt me at all.
“Ooh, are you laughing?”
“Mi-I’m sorry… I’m so dumbfounded. Scarlett You, what kind of man would like you? You have a poor body, and you have a dirty temper… You and I are the same age, so you should’ve already been married. Is there a man who wants to date you?”
As she was arguing with her, her level dropped to me, and her little childish counterattack came out.
Seeing that his whole body was trembling with his face flushed red, he must have been stabbed in the right place.
“I-I-I-I-I…! You…!”
“Calm down, Lady Scarlet. I have to maintain my dignity as the owner of the Magic Tower.”
God, an old virgin in her mid-twenties.
Even in her hometown, the East, there is a custom of early marriage.
Given that fact, even if she was caught by the guards and investigated as a spy, she would have nothing to say.
“Was the rumor true?”
“Well, what kind of man can handle a woman like that? No matter how beautiful she is, it’s not like she’s living off her face alone.”
“Did she trade her magical achievements for physical growth? I thought she was a girl from the outside.”
People are now starting to whisper in a slightly different meaning.
The Red Mage Tower Master, who was feared due to his radical first impression, quickly became a victim of everyone’s ridicule and sympathy.
—Crying crying…
Large teardrops form in her fiery red eyes.
The uncommon eye color is similar to mine, so I feel reluctant for some reason.
Scarlett screamed at me with anger.
“Hey! Take care of this!”
“Take responsibility. What?”
“Wolfgang von Schwarz… You, you dare make me a laughing stock…?”
I wonder if it was a little too much, but in the first place, she started arguing with her.
In other words, if I were an ordinary person, I would have already been reduced to ashes by the time I was hit by Explosion.
If you commit an attempted murder in front of so many people and move on to just being humiliated, it’s cheap.
Just like that, around the time when the underground base where well-known celebrities gathered became noisy like a social gathering place.
—That’s right… !
With a dull roar, the tightly closed iron door opened again.
At that, the crowd regained silence in an instant, as if they had never been in a frenzy.
“What kind of fuss is this?”
The door opened and the one who appeared was the commander-in-chief, not in his usual uniform, but in an event uniform.
The epaulet with five shining golden stars on the shoulder stands out.
“And what smell…”
On the other hand, it was the commander-in-chief who frowned slightly as soon as he appeared in a cool way.
Judging from the expansion of the nasal passages, it seems that it sensed the acrid burnt smell that still remained.
The commander-in-chief looked at me and Scarlett’s faces alternately once in a while and nodded his head with an expression that seemed to be understandable.
“…Right.”
My conscience is pricked by the gaze as if I were looking at a child who had been in an accident.
I gave a short salute and subtly avoided his gaze.
Of course, I have some responsibility for the underground base becoming like this, but the ultimate mistake was not leaving a person who can be controlled after putting these people with strong personalities together in the first place.
While I was working so hard on self-justification.
From the back of the narrow aisle, the familiar smell of sandalwood began to waft through the air.
“Hey, hold on!”
Through the dark passageway, a tiny white hand reaches out.
The way he waved his hand over the commander-in-chief’s shoulder and gently asked him to get out of the way.
“Yes? Even if it’s inconvenient…”
“Oh, no! That’s not it… There’s someone I want to meet soon.”
Despite the fact that the highest-ranking person in the empire was treated like a village uncle, the commander-in-chief was rather embarrassed.
Eventually, he moved away with a slightly puzzled expression, and a blond-haired girl wearing a veil and wearing a pure white priestly uniform ran towards me.
As she approached me, the girl’s expression brightened.
By the time her face was fully visible, a brilliant halo spread behind her back, and a platinum halo floated above her head.
—Gasp!
And then, without hesitation, he grabbed my hand.
It was Ophelia, a saint of the Celestial Church.
“Wow! Sir Wolfgang! Nice to meet you, so nice to see you!”
“Saintess?!”
Her sudden appearance is quite disconcerting.
Could it be that Ophelia is also one of the candidates for special powers?
No, she’s more than that. How the hell did she get involved?
I had many questions, but all of her doubts were cleared at once by her one word that followed.
“Hehe… He said he could meet you if he came here, so he ran quickly!”
“Is that so.”
Yes. You just came to see me for no particular reason.
I guess it’s her innocence.
“Adventure…”
Seeing the Commander-in-Chief clearing his throat while glancing at me, it seems that he mentioned my name to the saintess.
Selling out the names of subordinates to recruit high-quality personnel.
She was as talented as a full-blooded commander-in-chief who would do anything for the success of the operation.
Should I say I’m glad I didn’t call him oppa or hug him out of the blue because it was in front of people?
He seems to have developed some discernment after experiencing life in distress on an uninhabited island.
“Saintess, are you really a saintess…?”
“They said they gathered the best people in each field. Indeed, that wasn’t a lie.”
—Malkan!
“Ehehe…”
Everyone’s face is different from the figure of the saintess who secretly leans on me and reveals obvious intimacy.
I wonder if the distance is a little too close, but the soft and pleasant touch is extremely satisfying, so that’s it.
Attracting people’s attention is something I’m used to now, so I didn’t feel any special emotions.
“You, you you you…! How the hell…!”
“Huh? Ohh… No, Sir Wolfgang. Who is that?”
“Ah. She’s just a bit of a weird girl, so don’t mind.”
Looking at Scarlett’s face as she pointed her finger at me with a look of astonishment, I felt a strange sense of triumph.
So, why are you black?
On the topic of not having a lover.
I just feel sorry for her who doesn’t know the beauty of her love.
