Volume 3 Chapter 17 The Trouble With Abyss Vena
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
The small knife that Karlamia avoided cut a lock of Mr. Soumei’s important hair.
”Milly!”
”Carly!”
Mr. Soumei and I shouted at the same time.
”…You two… if you are so energetic, go hunt the monsters outside!!”
Mr. Soumei, who seemed gentle, got really mad.
Mr. Soumei, whose lock of hair was cut that he always played with, looked like a wild storm.
He used magic to tie up the two, and then flew on top of the roof towards the castle wall so fast it looked blurry.
I grabbed my staff and asked Arbalest to tell what happened in this emergency, then hurried to run after Mr. Soumei who went to the castle wall.
* * *
Finally, when I caught up on top of the castle wall, Mr. Soumei had a scary smile that could make the leaders of the bad organization turn pale. He untied the two and threw them into the monster-infested area below the wall.
Mr. Soumei, you went too far!
Hair will grow back…
I wanted to say that, but I was too scared to say it to Mr. Soumei, who no longer had hair tangled on his fingers.
The two who were untied were still fighting below the castle wall.
”I will make you apologize! I will not forgive Carly for making fun of my Kent!”
”Shut up! I am not at fault! It’s wrong to marry a lowly Majin man! Miriallia Blackdagger!”
A dark aura was emanating from Milly’s body, a sign that she was serious.
Her dagger, which had been by her side just moments before, was now gone, as if she no longer needed it to prove her power.
Meanwhile, Carly’s walking stick shifted, growing longer and transforming into a formidable weapon.
The monsters nearby are frightened by the murderous intent of the two and slowly back away.
Carly was the first to move.
An Ice Bullet was shot at Milly without any chanting.
Milly narrowly avoids the ice bullet, but when the second bullet is aimed at her feet, she realizes she can’t avoid it and jumps back.
While rolling away to avoid the third attack, he fired a small knife at Carly in return.
The knife flew straight towards Carly, but was deflected as if it had hit the wall at the last moment.
”Physical barrier! Carly! You’re a coward!”
”What are you saying? I’m the strongest in Abyss Vena, so I have no weaknesses!”
Milly stood up and shot a Fire Arrow.
Seeing the Fire Arrow, Carly quickly changed to a magic barrier, barely dodging the small knife and losing balance.
Before Carly could make a physical barrier, Milly jumped on her.
The finished ice storm caught nearby monsters, creating a snowstorm all around.
I was scared of the power of the Advanced-level Attack Magic.
The area of 100 meters turned white, and hundreds of caught monsters stood like ice statues.
Carly, who stood up, seemed to have lost sight of Milly on the white ground.
Then, the white ground behind Carly rose, and Milly jumped up to grab Carly.
”Carly… you really froze me. I thought about just making you apologize, but I changed my mind. Hehe, I will do the most hopeless thing to you. If you want to blame someone, blame your own foolishness.”
”Wha, what! Let me go, Miriallia Blackdagger! Ugh! What did you make me drink? Is it poison? That’s sneaky! You think you can’t win and want to poison me?”
”It’s more cruel than poisoning… Hehe, you will sink into despair and pleasure… Now, you will never win against me.”
When Milly moved away from Carly, she released a strong wind. The wind missed Milly but shattered the ice statues.
For a while, Milly was only defending, but Carly’s movements were clearly slower than before.
”Ugh… Miriallia Blackdagger! You’re mocking me, a True Demon! Ahh…”
Milly approaches Carly, who appears to be in pain and has her legs turned inwards, and uses a flash of magic on her.
Dazzled, Carly begins firing Wind Cutter and Ice Bullet at everything around her.
Milly couldn’t get close because of how many hands there were.
Magic has a cooldown, but it seems she can shorten it with her magic job level and skills. It looked like she could almost use it right away.
”Hmph, you still have tons of magic, huh? Carly, but soon you won’t be able to concentrate. Your magic is getting messed up.”
”Shut up! Miriallia Blackdagger! There’s no way my magic is getting messed up! Ugh!”
Carly started to fidget even more.
Carly, who was getting anxious about the match, finally started to chant.
”Gathered magic element! Become ice and never melt! Absolute Zero!”
Since Milly didn’t stop Carly’s chant, the magic was activated.
A white mist wrapped around the area where Milly was.
Then, it quickly froze, and Milly was trapped in a block of ice.
”Milly!”
”Ahahaha! Did you see that, Miriallia Blackdagger? I, the strongest Abyss Vena, am the true demon Carlamia! I am the strongest monster hunter!”
Carlamia laughed loudly while trapping Milly in ice, but Milly’s fist was buried in Carlamia’s stomach.
”No way… Huh! Mirage Body! And invisibility too! Not yet! I can still fight!”
”Hehehe, keep being wild. The more you struggle, the closer you get to your doom. Hahaha!”
It was about time I asked Mr. Soumei, who was watching the situation next to me, to mediate.
”Mr. Soumei…I’m really sorry that Milly made such a big mistake this time.”
I bowed politely.
I think Mr. Soumei’s anger at having his hair, the second most important thing to him after his life, cut off will not be easily allayed, but Mr. Soumei is the only one who can stop the two now.
”…the 4th time…”
”Huh?”
I looked down at the missing hair.
”…Those 2 have cut my hair 4 times… Every time Carlamia and Miriallia fight, I get my hair cut, and this time is the 4th. I don’t want to see the stupid pupil (Carlamia) or Miriallia’s faces anymore. Stupid pupil (Carlamia) should be taken care of by Kent! That’s the deal for stopping the fight.”
Mr. Soumei seems to have lost it after Milly and Carly cut his hair every time it grew.
He asked me to take in that troublesome kid.
He wants me to take in a kid who looks like they touched garbage just by getting close…
We have a lot of Majin here, but… the two of them fight… they cause trouble… they break things… it costs a lot to fix… oh no, I see a dark future.
However, I feel like if I leave this alone, it will end badly.
Giving up, I agreed to take in Carly and asked Mr. Soumei to help stop the fight.
After a tough battle, Mr. Soumei, panting and wobbling, picked up the two of them and returned to the castle walls, quickly leaving them with me before running away like a rabbit.
”Ah! Mr. Soumei! This is terrible!”
”Ugh, don’t let dirty Majin touch me… oh, ah”
When Milly managed to stand up by herself, she took my Illusion Glasses.
Luckily, there was no one around, fearing the trouble from the two… except for Carlamia and Milly…
”Hehe… with this, this careless troublemaker is headed for hell… or maybe heaven. Hah, hah. And you will never win against me.”
”Milly, give it back!”
”Damn, I told you not to touch me!”
Bang!
The 3 of us collapsed, entangled.
The image that jumped out before my eyes was that of a woman with a voluptuous body, shiny brown skin, large black eyes, a small, round face, and red hair tied back in a ponytail.
──Handsome GuySkill activated [Carlamia] friendship level increases significantly
──[Carlamia] status: change to bad
Ah, this is the pattern!
Even though she’s such a pain, she’s cute!
And it’s not tan, it’s brown… the shine is sexy… it must be the work of a professional!
I couldn’t help but stare at Carlamia, who was shaking her breasts in front of me.
”Kent, you can eat that girl if you like her. Hehe, she’s all wet from the super strong love drug I gave her earlier, so she can’t even stand up.”
I wonder if it’s just my imagination that when Carly gets involved, I see a dark side of Milly.
If they’ve known each other since they were 12, then they’re childhood friends.
But when I see the two of them fight, it looks like there’s a deep connection.
”Ugh, my body is hot… huff, huff. Miriallia Blackdagger… what have you done to me?”
”Hehe… I’ll tell you. From now on, you will be the sex slave of that Majin man you hate the most. And you’ll love him so much that you’ll want to have his baby, just like your mom! Even though you’re a True Demon, you’ll become pregnant by a Majin man. Plus, Kent’s real wife is me, and you will be the side woman because I pity you. You’re always going to be the side woman.”
Carly’s face looked bad after hearing Milly’s revenge plan.
Carly turned to me and started to bite back with words.
”Shame on you! There’s no way I’d let a lowly person like you control the holy body of a True Demon! Ugh! Don’t touch me! Miriallia Blackdagger! Is it because you can’t win that you’re using a man? That’s really cowardly!”
”I’m sorry. Carly can only live by my side now. Sorry, but please give up.”
”No way! I, a proud True Demon, will not become a tool for a younger Majin man! Ah!”
”Come on, Kent. This girl is probably a virgin. But she’s acting super naughty because of the drug, so it’s okay to be rough with her.”
I decided to carry Carly back to the square, as she was already so drugged she couldn’t stand.
After returning to the square, I explained the situation to Arbalest, and asked one of the staff members who was available to carry Carly and Milly into the mansion.
At the round table in the headquarters, there are me, Mr. Soumei, and my father-in-law.
”So, what have you done? I won’t get angry, so go ahead and tell me. I know that those 2 didn’t get along when they were young.”
Mr. Soumei doesn’t seem to have told his father-in-law the reason for this private fight.
”Oh, um. The whole thing started when Carlamia called me a lowly person, and Milly got mad, causing Mr. Soumei’s hair to get shorter…”
”So, mad Soumei threw both of them outside the castle walls.”
”Yes, that’s pretty much it.”
My father-in-law looked shocked.
He hung his head at the round table when he learned that the reason for the fight between S-Class Hunters was just a shouting match.
”Right now, we are in a war. Even if you are on a break, fighting over a shouting match is not good. Especially between S-Class Hunters. What do we tell the people?”
That’s true, it’s not good to be fighting when we should be joining together to fight against monsters.
The people will probably be worried since both S-Class Hunters have strong fighting powers against monsters.
”Soumei. You kicked Carlamia out of ‘Hand of Glory’ and pushed her onto Kent, didn’t you?”
”…Yes. I did that. Kent insisted on getting Carlamia, and when I asked Carlamia if she agreed, she said yes, so I had to kick her out.”
”…That sounds fishy. Well, I’m not part of the Hunter Guild, so I won’t dig deeper.”
Mr. Soumei, that sounds like a lie!
I never said I wanted her given to me!
My father-in-law listened to Mr. Soumei’s story with a suspicious look.
”Well, then, it seems that ‘Hand of Glory’ will not be questioned. This time, the private fight is between members of the ‘Crimson Bride’ Hunting Group.”
”That’s right. It has nothing to do with us.”
My father-in-law turned to me and grabbed my shoulder.
”Kent…how are you going to settle this mess?”
Huh?
It’s my fault…? How awful!
This is the dirty world of adults…
”Yes. We will give strict instructions to the two members of the Hunting Group, so please forgive us with just a fine.”
My father-in-law, who had gotten me to say that he was fined, grinned.
This will reduce the bounty for this invasion and the bounty for the beast monster extermination that has not yet been paid.
The adult world is… dirty…
”Well, don’t worry. I don’t plan to fine you that much. It’s just a small cut in the reward, about ten percent. Good for you, Kent. I’m like a father to you.”
”Ten percent… That means hundreds of gold coins are flying away…”
I left the defense headquarters feeling down.
On the way to the mansion, I felt anger building up against Carlamia.
I will make her pay back all those hundreds of gold coins… That body is so annoying… I’ll make her regret it.
Also, Milly went too far this time.
I need to give Milly a good talk, too, since she’s just as guilty.
I hurried to the mansion to give a lesson to the two who fought.
