Chapter 45 The Filth That Cannot Integrate into Human Society
"Here comes Lei Ye! Watch out, when that wild bear in front charges, dodge to the left, the tree trunks there will provide good cover!"
"Take this opportunity and chop it down! Then adjust your posture to face the other one. It has already intimidated you. As long as you don't turn your back to it, it won't dare to attack you rashly."
"That's it! Awesome!!"
This is ten minutes after the battle with the bear pack.
Kermiren was panting heavily. She was exhausted, not because of her energetic body, but because of her mental exhaustion. Being repeatedly pressed and rubbed against the ground by the bear had driven her from fear to stress, then from stress to panting, and finally from panting to numbness. All that remained in her heart was exhaustion.
It hurt terribly. After fighting for ten minutes, there wasn't a single spot on her body that hadn't been scratched or bitten by the bear. At first, the onlookers were worried about Kermir, but after seeing how quickly she recovered, they just kept praising her recovery ability. But quick recovery didn't mean no pain. It hurt...it hurt so much...
The only thing that made Kermir was happy was that she had finally gotten a little used to fighting. Actually, it wasn't anything worth mentioning; it was just simple dodging and attacking. She could do that when she occasionally had to fight humans before, but now, facing such terrifying monsters, she could finally calm down and use her skills to fight them.
"I... have grown up..." she said, looking at the pile of bear corpses on the ground with deep emotion.
"You fought very well, this is a huge improvement. Boss Lei... no, Mr. Lei Ye, please allow me to apologize to you. That day during the battle against Keboros, I saw that you performed very well, so I assumed that you were a battle-hardened warrior. But now I know that you are really just a businessman who has just trained yourself to be very strong. That day's battle was probably triggered by your strong desire to protect this city."
The older sister took a deep breath, her face filled with emotion. "I never expected you to be such a greenhorn. Even so, you were willing to hone your will and fighting skills in brutal combat. That burning passion is genuine! It's so moving, Mr. Lei Ye. Rest assured, you have truly become a qualified soldier under our watchful eyes. Congratulations!"
She clapped, and the other Silver Spear members also surrounded Kermir and applauded enthusiastically.
"congratulations."
"Congratulations, Mr. Raino."
"Congratulations!"
Kermir's initial感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including emotion and gratitude) turned into感动 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion). She sheathed her longsword, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you everyone!"
Just then, not far away, Kermir heard the sound of arguing.
The volume was getting louder and louder, as if the two people arguing were starting to lose control of their emotions. She looked over there and saw the Tucker siblings, who had been talking about something since earlier.
She had almost forgotten about those two. Kermione didn't move. She didn't want to hear about their love affair at all, but because the argument was so loud, it still reached her ears.
"That's too much! Can you honestly say that everything you said before didn't imply that I could like you?! But I really crossed that line and fell for you, and you ran away! That's so unfair!"
"I'm sorry, but you know Tana, it's impossible for us."
"Give me a reason that I can believe. You're just using this as an excuse. I don't accept it."
"I... like children, so... I can't be with you. Tana, let me explain this to you. If you really care about me, please let go of these feelings in your heart."
Hearing this, Kermione was extremely relieved; there were still normal people in this city.
She initially didn't want to bother with these two idiots, but Tucker's pained expression in saying those words made her feel a little bit of goodwill towards him. Since that was the case, she, as a truly normal person with common sense—no, a normal scoundrel—would help persuade them.
After all, you can't rely on the people here. The Silver Spear Squad has been trying to bring them together, and Loya... wait, where's Loya?
In short, she could resolve this matter with just one sentence: simply reveal the fact that the two are not related by blood.
She didn't care whether Tana was sad because she wasn't her brother's biological sister, because the little girl longed for another identity.
After making up her mind, Kermir approached the two of them. At that moment, the petite Tana suddenly jumped up and slapped Tak.
"Fool!"
"Tana..."
Kermione stopped in her tracks, stunned by the little girl's desperate cry.
Tucker was also stunned. His pained expression suddenly broke into a twisted, laughing-crying face, and he suddenly hugged Tana tightly in his arms.
"Tana!"
"Brother!!"
The two embraced tightly. Kermiren heard someone from the Silver Spear Squad exclaim, "Ah, how wonderful..." and ran over. The others who had been surrounding her also moved over and surrounded the two.
Congratulations!
Congratulations, little Tana!
"Congratulations!"
A burst of applause came from over there.
So what could Kermione do? She could only stand there, like a misfit child, blankly standing there.
Someone patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't be envious, baby, we'll be like that someday," Loya said with a smile.
"Ah...ah? Loya? Where were you just now? I didn't see you..."
"Up in the tree," Loya pointed to a thick branch high up. "Don't forget I come from the great forest, I can climb trees very fast. Look, you've finished fighting, so I came down. Come on, it's time to collect the spoils. While they're still celebrating the newlyweds, let's pick out the parts of the animal hides that are more intact."
"..ah?"
Before Kermir could process what was happening, he blankly pulled out his storage bag and, together with Loya, collected the bear carcasses from the ground.
As she was pretending, she suddenly stood up straight.
"Finished? Already finished?"
"Yeah... otherwise why would I come down here? It's too dangerous."
"How can you tell it's over already?" Kermiren was frantic, pointing at the Silver Spear Squad. "No, they hired me, they accepted the job, they haven't even started yet! How can it be over already?"
"It's easy to tell by the time interval. The second wave came the fastest, and then it got slower and slower. The last two you killed were a full two minutes after the last wave, which means there are no more bears of this group around here. Even if there are, they are just small bears hiding in their caves and are not much of a threat. After reporting to the guild, other explorers will come to sweep this area. Don't worry about leaving it to them."
Why are you already cleaning up the battlefield?
The Silver Spear Squad spotted the two collecting loot, so they immediately abandoned the Tucker siblings and ran over to collect the scattered pieces of the wild bear from their storage bags.
Loya immediately panicked, stopped talking to Kermir and started arguing and fighting with the group.
The eldest sister stood next to Kermir and did the same thing as Loya, patting Kermir on the shoulder.
"It seems the battle is over. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Raino. You're amazing."
Kermione initially refused to believe it, but when she heard about the only reliable older sister among them, she finally believed that the battle was over.
In the end, the only time Tucker came out to shoot a few times was when she was facing the Horned Wolf. The rest of the time, she was the only one who had to deal with the Wild Bear and fight the Wild Bear.
"I remember you said...we came out this time to practice team cohesion, right...to defeat the Demon King..."
"Yes, yes, I think we've worked together very well," the older sister nodded vigorously, giving a thumbs up. "Also, I think our team leader, who's been listless for days, has finally regained his spirits, so he can handle all the negotiations with you from now on."
Tucker stepped out from behind his older sister and took Tana's hand.
He bowed deeply to Kmelien.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Raino! After careful consideration, I've decided to leave your Savior Team. Actually, I just wanted my sister to back down, but now it's me who's backing down. More than any grand ambition, I want to live a good life here with her."
Has this really been carefully considered?
"No, you can't do this! You can't do this! You need to have some conscience! Didn't you say before that once you came back from this trip, you'd be a member of the Hero's Team?"
"I want to be my sister's hero."
"what?"
Tana's words had already stunned Kermira once, and now she was stunned a second time.
Overwhelmed by helplessness, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
"Mr. Raino!"
"Boss Lei"
"baby!"
When they saw her fall, the others rushed over immediately, helping her up from both sides and asking her how she was doing. It was quite heartwarming.
Looking at these people, Kermione felt an indescribable fear quickly seep into the depths of her heart.
Are these people really human? If so, why can she understand their language but not comprehend it? If not, why do these creatures look exactly like the humans she has observed for many years?
Why didn't her boss assign a ruthless character to destroy the city?
Honestly, I'd rather it be destroyed. If I could arrange for her to assist some great evil in destroying this city, I'd accept it even if I had to use mugwort while gathering intelligence.
At this moment, she even began to envy Raino, who had become a goblin. As a goblin, he only needed to obey orders, jump around in front of the crowd, and jump through a fire hoop. But as Raino, she had so many things to consider... far too many.
She was dizzy and didn't know how she got back to the city. After recovering from her dazed state, she returned to the guild with the help of her older sister.
Near the entrance, a slightly drunk thief was swaying and chatting with the guy opposite her.
"Let me tell you, hiccup, that Boss Lei is really amazing. I'm not talking about the time with the Evil, but last time he led us through a troll quest. I barely did any damage the whole time, and we even split the rewards. It was so awesome! I wish I could do another quest with him someday, the hardest one. He can even beat the Evil, so ordinary monsters will be a piece of cake."
Upon seeing Lei Ye passing by, she immediately sobered up and fell silent.
As the thieves said, the reward was indeed split equally.
Kermione followed her older sister in line at the counter to wait for payment. In the end, she received a small gold coin and some change.
She didn't know much about the explorers' income level, but she could still tell that her teammates were exploiting her. Seeing the others happily receiving their rewards, she felt wronged.
This is all my money.
She doesn't lack money; money has never been important to her. But she can't accept being taken advantage of or schemed against.
She grabbed her older sister's arm, as if grasping at a lifeline, and asked her question.
"We agreed to leave tomorrow. You'll come with me to the scorched earth, right?"
After today's battle, Kermiren has confirmed at least two things: first, this body is indeed amazing; second, she is indeed not good at fighting, so even if she can't be of much help in the battle, she still needs someone with rich experience like her older sister to accompany her.
But the ominous premonition that kept arising along the way grew stronger, as if it were about to come true.
The older sister scratched her head somewhat awkwardly.
"Well... I'm just a member of the Silver Spear Squad, so only the captain's word matters. Why don't you ask him if he's going? If he's going, we'll definitely go together."
The captain refers to that Tucker...
Kermir turned his head and glanced at the guy holding his sister's hand, and couldn't help but shudder.
She really didn't want to talk to him, because she didn't want her understanding of humanity to be further tainted. Besides, listening to Tucker's excited announcement that he would be marrying his sister Tana in the next couple of days, she knew without asking that this guy was definitely not going to the Scorched Earth with her.
So when she looked at her eldest sister again, there was a deep sadness in her eyes. She knew that a sad, thick barrier had already separated the two of them.
Liar, bastard, born.
Sorrow gradually turned into anger.
"Wow, I've made a killing!"
Loya, who was not far away, seemed to be having a great time. She ordered her favorite drink and drank it heartily.
Then she skipped and hopped to the commission board, randomly picked an S-rank commission and tore it down, then skipped and hopped back to Raino's side.
"Rayno! Let's make this tomorrow!"
"...I said we're going to defeat the Demon King tomorrow, are you a dragon with ears?! Are you going to go back on your word, Loya?!"
"Oh, about defeating the Demon King? How much is the bounty? Well, as long as I can make some money, that's fine. I won't go back on my promise. But you... you're a man of your word, right? I've found you a professional, so according to our agreement, we're lovers now, right? Well, I think I need to assert my dominance."
What does "bounty" mean? Why is it described as something as easy as casually accepting a commission to earn some money?
Ultimately, is there any point in taking this thing to the scorched earth? I ask you.
What does "professional talent" even mean? Look at the few valuable items you've won, you haven't even done anything, yet you've already taken away most of the reward.
That said, at least they helped pinpoint the location and dealt with a horned wolf. What about you? You're the most valuable of all!
Also, what does "lover" mean? And why did you go to the table again?
"Damn it!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Kermiren let out a howl and dragged Loya, who had just climbed onto the table, down.
He pinned him to the ground and punched him repeatedly.
