As I carried the bear's corpse to a town that was nearby, I was surrounded by the guards and was taken in for questioning. Of course, I would be questioned if I waltz right in front of the town's gate looking like a monster.
The questioning took a while and I managed to sell the bear for some money, though the bear wasn't cleanly killed it still a type of variant. A-hh~ I need some new gear but I don't really know where to find A smith in a town where I've never even set foot on nor I've been in any at all. Usually, I just sleep in small caves and I go about my day but Al told me that I should go into town and get some human interaction. ha-hh such a pain, I'll show you that can also communicate!
After I built my courage and approach the girl in front of the guild and asked with my still bloodied appearance
[H-hi, Uhm, uhh, yeah, I, I just wanted to know if there's a Weapon Store nearby?]
She ran...Of course, she did. Looks like I have to find it myself.
as I walked around trying to find a Weapon store. I encountered some low-lives ganging up on a woman. I approached them.
[Hey fuckers, Why don't you leave her alone and go about your business huh? or I'll show you that you can never get out of bed ever again.]
[Who do you think you are you bastard!? You think you can take on 4 guys? heh guys get em and I'll let you have a turn when I'm done with her.]
[Don't you fucking touch her!!] I snapped and didn't think about my surroundings and got hit on the back of my head and my eyes went blurry. As I heard the girls screaming and those bastard's disgusting face reminded me of the regrets from my past. Something within me awoke.
Seems like luck is on my side... Use Perserverance!
My mind is clear and my vision isn't blurry anymore, I can move my body perfectly! I'll kill these scums quick and save her before that bastard lays his hands on her.
[What! How dare you kill my guys! I'm gonna kill yo-] ~Slash~
What trash. He had no battle experience at all. Looks like he only relied on his men and manhandled many women. ! Nows not the time! the girl!
[Hey, Are you alright?] The girl backed into the corner and stared at me with eyes full of despair.
All I can do is just wait for her to calm down and ask her some questions.
It seems like she's calmed down quite a bit to get some questions out of her.
[Are you alone?] She nodded [Don't worry I'll sit here until you can trust me. I won't do anything until you say so.]
A few hours passed. ~Growl~Rumble~
[Are you hungry? Do you wanna get something to eat?] She nodded. I guess she trusts me a bit?
I bought some Skewers for her. [Sorry for not treating you to a restaurant or something, I'm also low on money you see.] She said [I-its fine... This is the first time someone has ever bought anything for someone like me.]
[Haha You shouldn't say something like someone like me you know? You're really cute and all. That's why you were attacked.]
[I-I'm C-cute?] as she blushed
[Yep you're as pretty as an Elf. So, Do you have somewhere to go?]
[I wandered aimlessly and stumbled upon this town. Then I met this Kind guy or so I thought and he showed me around. He told me there's a place to earn money and I agreed to go with him and then he took me to that corner and tried to have his way with me.]
[Soo, You don't?]
[Uuuu~] She blushed
[Alright then, Why don't you come with me to the guild and stay the night there. I'll pay for you of course]
[It's fine! I'll surely find a way or maybe I'll sleep outside!]
[I won't allow it. What will happen if u get attacked again outside?]
[Uhm. Okay then...]
I paid for her room and asked the receptionists if there was any Weapon Store.
The next morning.
~Knock-Knock~
[Funyaa~ Good morning misterrr...]
[Seems like you slept quite a bit huh.]
[I-I haven't!]
[Haha alright let's go to the dining hall.]
[So, We haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name's Linus, Surname Abbot. My Occupation's an Adventurer you might call it. You can call me Linus by the way.]
[And I'm Veena De Torrest. And My Occupation is uhm c-currently Jobless.] She blushed.
[Are you really that hopeless? Sigh~ Alright. wanna form a 2-man party? I can tough it out in the dungeon at least at to the fifth floor with an extra.]
Veena: [Wouldn't that be bothering you Mr.Linus?]
Linus: [It's Alright, So you can just kindly let me help you earn some levels. and pay me back.]
Veena: [Thank you so much, Mr. Linus you are very kind!]
Linus:[Just call me Linus NOR. MAL. LY. I'm only 17 You know!?]
Veena: [ehehehe~]
