Black-Haired Alien From Another World 292

## Chapter 292 – Cold Air

“Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Frankly speaking, my grudge with Roel is practically cleared.

From the start, as a former priest and with Roel being a mage, I had no intention of harming her in the slightest.

The biggest reason I only messed with Serka, the easiest target, was because she was just some weak martial artist.

Actually, looking back, besides exchanging a few harsh words with Roel, there wasn’t really any significant animosity. But that could be considered even since Roel also said harsh things to me.

Rather, wasn’t it me who saved them from the Dryad’s clutches?

In other words, I’m in a position similar to a savior of life and a rescuer of their lives. Of course, Roel, whose common sense has gone completely haywire in this other world, doesn’t seem to think that way at all.

—Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!!!!!

Roel, screaming as if having a seizure, is pointing at me with eyes that look at some kind of monster. By now, the gathered mages also noticed that there was some kind of problem between me and Roel.

“Hey, you! What’s with the commotion in the Magic Tower!?”

“Did you perhaps lay a hand on a mage? If so, I won’t forgive you!”

“First, calm her down!”

Mages wearing various robes and holding all sorts of wands and staffs tried to calm Roel while shouting at me.

Damn it.

I spread my hands to show that I had no intention of harming them and explained in a polite tone. It’s like I have to bow down, no, prostrate myself.

Because I can’t raise my voice at the mages.

“Oh, mages. What’s the matter? It’s nothing. We just know each other. I certainly had no intention of causing trouble for the mages.”

“If you knew each other, would she act like that! Where are you spouting nonsense!”

The bald mage roared at those words.

People who know each other can act like that, you son of a bitch.

You fight with your mom every day, don’t you?

“…I’m really sorry for causing a commotion. It’s not a problem, just a simple misunderstanding. I’ll leave now so I don’t get in the way.”

“Where are you going! Stop!”

I tried to leave quietly, but I couldn’t because other mages stopped me. Everyone’s energy is too fierce… Damn it, these unhelpful mages!

উইনিয়া! Help me!

“We need to subdue him first! Stop where you are!”

Damn it, subdue me!?

It’s literally a desperate situation.

My strengths, escape and violence, are absolutely useless in the Magic Tower, where mages gather. Even if I draw my sword, the odds are zero! Damn it! How powerless is an individual before a group!

Just as the situation was about to turn violent.

“Ebony? What’s going on?”

Winia, pushing through the crowd, strode over.

At that moment, Winia seemed like some kind of saint to me. I immediately used my footwork to slip behind her and hide.

“Wi, Winia-mama! Help meeeee!”

“What is it? What’s all this ruckus?”

Winia looked around and saw the gathered mages.

Then she grabbed my wrist tightly.

“Ebony, just shut up and stay still.”

Judging by the atmosphere, she seemed to have grasped the situation. I closed my eyes tightly and pressed my body close to her, conveying my trembling… because Winia was the only one I could trust now.

“What’s going on? Why are you surrounding him like this?”

Winia, changing her tone, asked the bald mage who was standing at the front.

“Um… you. Are you… do you know that person?”

The mages, who had been spitting fire from their mouths as if they would devour me, hesitated at Winia’s appearance. Since she was a mage herself, there was room for dialogue.

“He’s my husband. What happened?”

“Winia…!”

Winia said confidently, as if protecting me! I was so moved that I felt like crying. So reliable!

“That man caused a commotion.”

It wasn’t the bald mage who answered, but a brown-haired female mage with glasses and a nervous expression.

She stood up after calming down Roel, who was sitting down.

“Commotion?”

“Look at this girl who’s wailing here. It seems like he tried to attack her.”

What the hell is this bitch talking about?

I swear I had no intention of attacking.

From the start, I had no intention of messing with Roel.

“Ebony?”

Winia looked at me.

—Nodododo!

I shook my head vigorously to say no.

“Attack… is that true?”

“It’s true. So hand him over to us quickly.”

“My husband says he didn’t do it?”

“He would say that. If he hadn’t done anything, would this girl have reacted like this?”

Actually, that’s true.

There wouldn’t be many people who would suddenly panic and scream. No, there are many, but at least that rarely happens in the Magic Tower.

It was unpleasant, but the mage’s point was quite reasonable.

Winia, looking back at me, demanded an explanation.

“Ebony, what’s going on? You didn’t do some crazy shit again, did you? If you did, there’s nothing I can do. Tell me properly.”

I quietly whispered in her ear.

“Well, that’s… I used to work with her a long time ago? But she kept despising me as a barbarian and trying to attack me. So I had no choice but to raise my voice a bit. I haven’t caused any direct harm other than that.”

“What the fuck… but then why is that kid sitting there screaming?”

“I’m wondering that too. No, rather, I even saved her life, you know?”

“I can’t understand it at all.”

In fact, I didn’t do anything wrong during the promotion battle.

I experienced something absurd, and I simply did what was natural as a result.

Why should I put up with the bullshit of these weaklings? Kim Kkat is a super macho man who never forgives ignorant fools.

“What are you whispering about? Hand him over to us quickly. We’ll have to investigate him directly.”

Looking at her attitude, this one seems like the KKK too.

Well, racism is almost a basic feature for mages who have authoritarian and closed-minded tendencies.

Winia, who had been anxiously watching, stood up and said.

“What, you telling my husband what to do? My husband says he’s not at fault? And more than that, shouldn’t we listen to the person sitting there first?”

“So that’s what we’re going to do now…”

“It seems like you’re trying to blame him before even hearing the story. That’s not right.”

—Buzzing.

When Winia came out with a bold attitude, the mages seemed not to know what to do.

Even if I was just an outsider barbarian, they couldn’t treat her carelessly because Winia, a mage, had declared me as her husband.

As expected, Winia!!!!!!

This time, Winia strode towards Roel. Then she lowered her posture and asked in a clear tone.

“You. What happened to you with my husband? Can you tell me?”

“Th, that’s… well…”

“You said you worked together on a request before, right? I heard you insulted my husband back then, is that true?”

“Ugh…”

Perhaps because she was intimidated, Roel couldn’t answer properly.

Of course. There’s no way a young mage like Roel could mess with someone like Winia, who looks like a veteran (busty) at first glance.

And from the start, Roel’s sin is great.

She probably has nothing to say now that she’s being questioned.

“Stop! What are you doing! You’re making her uncomfortable!”

The brown hair intervened again.

Are they friends with Roel?

Winia said sarcastically.

“My husband was uncomfortable too? And I’m just trying to listen to the story, what’s the problem? We need to resolve the situation, right?”

“She’s uncomfortable.”

“I don’t know why you keep doing this. Is this your problem?”

“It’s the mages’ problem.”

“Am I not a mage?”

“That barbarian isn’t a mage.”

The brown hair, revealing her true colors, pointed at me and answered.

I knew there was no respect at all, she was definitely a member of the KKK. As I was feeling nervous, Winia stood up abruptly and said.

“What the fuck? Barbarian? Are you insulting my husband right now? That’s the same as insulting me?”

Yes, good job Winia!

“It’s not an insult… it’s the truth. And marrying a barbarian? How could you do something that shames the mages… you’re out of your mind.”

“Hey, you. Do you know me? What the fuck is it to you what I do!”

“The dignity of the mages is falling! It’s really frustrating! That’s why you marry barbarians! Everyone! Let’s arrest that man immediately!”

Whenever I see it, I feel that this other world is an amazing place. I think I still have a long way to go to keep up with the personality of these otherworlders.

I was just so grateful that Winia was angry for me.

“Hey. Brown hair.”

Reflexively, I said.

“…What?”

“It’s okay to insult me, but I don’t think it’s right to insult my wife.”

“Oh, I’m speechless. What are the guards doing! Arrest this man immediately!”

“No, seriously.”

As I was at a loss for what to do, Winia said.

“Ebony, stay still. I’ll take care of it.”

“…Okay.”

By the way, they’re telling me to arrest him?

Looking around, there was no sign of that. Everyone was just watching us blankly. Winia said firmly to them.

“Are you watching a show? Go back now. As you just saw, it’s our problem, so we’ll solve it ourselves. It’s a matter of honor between individual mages. I can’t allow anyone to interfere.”

—A moment of silence.

“Didn’t you hear me? It’s a matter of honor between individuals.”

A matter of honor between individuals.

As she nailed it down, the gathered mages began to stir and go back to their respective tasks.

“Ugh, um…”

“It was that kind of problem.”

“Don’t cause a commotion and go outside to do it.”

In this other world where private sanctions and duels are rampant, accepting insults as unbearable is the same for most people.

“What is this…”

The brown-haired mage with glasses, seeing that, literally frowned and glared at us as if dissatisfied.

Winia ignored it and approached Roel again and asked.

“You. Is it true that you insulted my husband?”

“That’s…”

“Answer properly.”

“Yes… ye, yes…”

“I see.”

Winia, hearing the answer, made a fierce expression and approached the brown hair.

“This person says so. Hey, you.”

“…”

“Can I take insulting me as a challenge to a duel?”

“What nonsense… you’re not worth dealing with!”

—Hwaeik!

The brown hair, her face red and flushed, turned around and left the scene.

“That bitch who didn’t learn how to eat shit.”

Winia, who was very angry, calmed herself down while seething.

I hugged her from behind.

“Thank you so much. Winia.”

For saving me.

“No, seriously. I’m so speechless. Does this make sense? If Ebony wasn’t here, I would have gone and roasted her, that bitch. She’s insulting me right in front of my face, and I have to just let it go here?”

“Calm down, Winia. He’s not worth you getting angry at.”

“Calm down, my ass… haa.”

Winia, breaking away from my embrace, reached out her hand to Roel.

“Get up.”

“…”

“I don’t know what happened, but since it’s no longer relevant, I hope you won’t do this again.”

“Yes, yes… I understand.”

Roel, taking Winia’s hand and standing up, also left the Magic Tower at a fast pace.

“Haa. I just got so stressed, really. What is this? I came out with Ebony for the first time in a while, and you just cause accidents, accidents.”

“Hahaha… I’m sorry. And thank you, I love you.”

“Whatever. Ha, seriously… I’m so pissed.”

After calming down for a while, she went to the counter and received a large book and a box.

“Ebony, carry this.”

“Yes.”

Come to think of it, I came here as a porter. It was a fairly sudden hostile situation, but it was resolved without much trouble thanks to Winia’s cover.

As expected, the Magic Tower is not a place for people like me to come.

“Ebony. Originally, many mages are crazy.”

What did you say, Winia?

“What, why are you looking at my face?”

“No. Because you’re pretty.”

“Heut.”

And so, I left the Magic Tower with Winia.
