053. Her Anger (1)

I didn’t expect much since there were already many large and good general stores. But weren’t there so many people that the line stretched out outside? They were all men, though…

Icarone didn’t know, but there was a reason why Reina’s store was so crowded. Inside, they would take off their stuffy hoods and masks and walk around, and customers would accidentally see Iel or Ierie. After that, rumors began to spread that they were the so-called ‘general store goddesses’, and the number of customers was only male.

While Reina went to buy medicine, a bouquet of fresh flowers appeared in front of Ierie, who was looking after the store instead.

“I, I love you!”

“Even if I give birth to my child!”

The store was soon bustling with the confessions of the men who had been waiting for Ierie to see the store. Ierie smiled in embarrassment and remembered the method she had used when something like this happened before.

Ierie suddenly stretched out her left hand and said.

“Everyone, thank you so much for your kind words, but… I already have someone I’m going to marry. Here’s the engagement ring.”

Originally, it was a secondary magic ring that amplified one’s mana, but ordinary people had never seen a magic ring, and because it had such a small and beautiful mana stone embedded in it, anyone who saw it would think it was a ring chosen by people in love.

As soon as they saw the ring, the atmosphere in the room instantly changed to that of a funeral, and sobs broke out here and there.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Ugh!”

“As expected… Is it only you for me?”

“I, what pleasure am I supposed to live for now…….”

And then, just at that moment, Icarone came in. She smiled brightly as she saw him, who had not shown his face in a long time.

“Oh my! You’re here? Where on earth have you been and now you’re here?”

“Ah, um…….”

At her lively expression, the men’s eyes turned to axes and they all turned to Icarone. The man who came in just as she was explaining her fiancée and received her detailed greetings, Icarone tried to answer her at their incomprehensible reaction, but swallowed his words and went into the warehouse behind her.

The men who had been staring at Icarone’s back as if they were going to pierce through her eventually turned around and left, unable to do anything but vent their anger.

For several days after that, the stinging sensation on the back of Icarone’s head did not go away.

* * *

After a long time, everyone gathered together for dinner. Since there was no place to cook properly, and according to Reina’s opinion that she wanted to eat something special, they sat down at a famous meat restaurant in Shar.

“Wow~, I heard that one meal here costs over 20 silver. Ika, did you make some money?”

“Really? I’ve only seen you here and there, but this is my first time coming here. Thanks to Ikarone-sama.”

“Hey, I wonder what will taste good…….”

“Meow~!”

The smell of meat made Kuodo let out a pleasant cry. Contrary to its appearance, that guy(?) was also a ferocious carnivore… … . As soon as Reina came in, she snatched the cloth menu away as if it was flying and swallowed her saliva. After ordering food, Icarone, who had been answering the questions the three women had been asking her in short sentences, spoke first.

“This request might take a while.”

“A little? How much? If Ika Oppa doesn’t come home for a week without saying anything, I’m already scared because I wonder how long it will take.”

Ierie nodded with a look of strong sympathy at Reina’s words. Next to her, Iel also slightly nodded his head, stopping from putting a piece of meat in his mouth, to show his agreement.

“Jones said about three months.”

“Three months? Where on earth are you going? What kind of request is this?”

Following Reina, Ierie fired off questions like a machine gun.

“The Kingdom of Berion across the sea. This is an escort request.”

“Huh? If it’s Berion, then the Magic Kingdom? Can’t I come with you?”

The Kingdom of Berion is famous as the kingdom of magic with the largest concentration of magicians in the world. It is also the place where the first mana stone was discovered, and it is also a powerful nation with the largest number of mana stones. Perhaps because of this, the kingdom has been successful in training magicians for generations, and despite its abundant mana resources, no one has invaded the kingdom.

There is even a theory that the Roga Empire is keeping an eye on them on their shores. This is because the sea battles of long-range magicians are virtually ‘invincible’.

So, it was perhaps natural that Ierie, who was well-versed in magic, wanted to go despite Iel secretly giving her hints. However, Ikarone immediately shook her head.

“No. I heard there’s only one escort and the entry procedures are complicated.”

Actually, there was one more member to assist Ikarone, but I didn’t want to take Ierie, who I had to worry about. Beauty always causes jealousy and trouble wherever it goes.

“Eek…….”

The Berion Kingdom is extremely exclusive to outsiders, as each and every wizard is a valuable asset. Irie, who must have known this, puffed out her cheeks slightly and let out a deflating sound. Iel, who raised the corners of her mouth slightly at that sight, asked.

“So when do you leave?”

It felt like her irises had become more distinct than before. The combination of red eyes and silver hair could have been considered bizarre, but her dazzling beauty only transformed her into a mysterious beauty.

“After this week, I plan to handle simple requests from the mercenary group.”

“You are busy.”

Her answer was straightforward, but there was a hint of disappointment. It was because he, who seemed like he would always be with her, had been mostly doing things alone since arriving in Char. Icarone, whether she knew it or not, silently put a piece of meat in her mouth.

“It’s delicious.”

The women let out a small sigh at the sight of him purely admiring the taste.

* * *

-Rumble.

“Haa~ The weather is nice~.”

Reina opened the window wide and smiled into the pouring sunlight.

Icarone hasn’t been seen since yesterday, and Iel and Ierie have gone to the mercenary group to carry out a commission for extra income. Kuo, who had managed to find a place to take a nap between the flower pots on the windowsill, disappeared for some time.

The feeling of being alone for the first time in a long while, the spring breeze blowing gently, and the happiness that comes from quiet warmth.

I thought that while it’s nice to be with someone, sometimes you need time to collect your thoughts and calm your mind and body.

It was not long ago that the general store, which was once bustling with men, became so quiet. On that day, a group of men who were still sending threats to Icarone were loitering around the store, and one of the large men finally couldn’t control his anger and anger and attacked him.

‘A sly guy like you won’t recognize Ierie-sama!’

Those were the last words of the big man. He didn’t die, but the price for swinging his fist at Icarone was high. He was forced to knead(?) until he vomited blood in front of the general store yard, and after that, useless customers stopped coming as if it were a lie. As expected, words without legs travel a thousand miles.

When I recall that time, a snicker escapes my lips. How strange. It was a day when someone experienced a fear that had never been experienced before, and yet an eighteen-year-old girl smiles as she thinks of that scene. Immunity is truly a scary thing.

-Tink!

“Wow!”

As I was coming out of my reverie and took my arm off the window, I tripped over a flower pot. It was as I was trying to pick it up that it had shattered on the floor.

-Daughter.

The small bell hanging in front of the door rang cheerfully. I turned my head and saw a man with a huge body that filled the entrance. He looked similar to the man who had vomited blood at that time, but the atmosphere he gave off seemed more dangerous. Two men with a similar feeling followed him.

“Oh, welcome.”

He was wearing only a black hood and a werewolf fur vest on top, but the solid muscles visible through it, along with the large and small scars here and there, made me feel fearful just by looking at them.

‘Is that the guy who came to see my sisters again? I’ve seen him somewhere… … .’

Reina’s keen eye for dealing with people was not wrong. The man came in roughly, kicking open the door and shouting in a rough voice.

“Oh, really, I can’t see the Jones child, and the pretty one doesn’t show up in the mercenary group, so I can’t help but miss her. I finally found her. Where did you put her, pretty one?”

Reina’s eyebrows furrowed. Now she remembered. He was the man named Belf who had been harassing Yiel when she first registered with the mercenary group. In order to avoid meeting people like him, he wore his hood down low and went out early in the morning to take on assignments, but it seems they had never actually met. Judging from the way Jonath had bowed his head, he must have been a member of a pretty strong guild.

But who are the people around her? The Black Prince who can stop even a child from crying, and the silver-haired witch who has spread fear throughout Creweed.

Reina, who had been through a lot while living with them, crossed her arms tightly and spoke with a serious face to the man who was spewing rude words at her.

“If you don’t have anything to buy, should we go? I think you answered that back then.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a palm the size of a pot lid flew in.

-Pfft!

With a dull thud like the sound of a leather jacket bursting, Reina’s body flew out and was slammed into the glass next to her. Reina couldn’t come to her senses due to the sudden attack. She didn’t even have time to let out the usual scream. A hot lump rose from her chest, but the glass shards embedded here and there in her face made her move cautiously.

“I’m not interested in that bitch of yours. I only allow rude language when it comes to pretty girls.”

“Uh, ugh……. Uh, when my sister comes, you…….”

As if he didn’t want to hear any more, a steel-like foot immediately slammed into Reina’s abdomen. Reina’s face, which had been stuck in the glass case, was forcibly pulled out, and her waist rose as if it were folding in the air and then fell back down.

-Kuung.

“I was feeling bad because people like Jones seemed to ignore me, but now even a bitch like you is glaring at me. I’m going to fix that annoying attitude from now on.”

-Straight, straight, straight.

“Ahh! Ugh…….”

Belf mercilessly stomped on Reina’s stomach, legs, and even face, who was lying low on the floor with her hands in her pockets. An unpleasant sound was heard repeatedly, and at one point Reina’s body sagged.

“Brother, I think this girl passed out.”

“Huh? Really?”

When she didn’t move at all, Belf slowly bent down and examined Reina. Belf raised his head, licking his lips after confirming the fluid that had flowed out from under her skirt without her will.

“Where the hell did you go? You came here in person. Come on, let’s go.”

Belf spat on the floor and turned around.

“Yes, brother.”

-Bang!

The door to the general store slammed shut.

On a warm afternoon, Reina, who had been enjoying her leisure time alone, was covered in blood and sprawled on the floor in that short period of time. The air inside the general store was once again filled with silence, as if nothing had happened.
