Chhan :" YOU ARE MISTAKEN!!! ".
I denied her words with passion, as a man who strives to be religious back in Mizoram, being called ' Perverted exhibitionist ' was not acceptable, Na uh
The mysterious silver haired white knight replied without a change in her being
" Then why are you naked ? "
I calmed down for a moment and replied
" haa (sighs) it's because it got melted when a damn slime exploded on me "
" What? "(Widened her eyes){ Exploded? }
" Hmm?(noticed her abrupt change in expression and emotions, anger could be felt from her) "
Julia scrutinized the naked pervert for a moment and then asked again while releasing a fatal pressure
Rumble
The trees shook as their leaves fell down like rain ,the smaller rocks sank in the ground as the pressure pushed them as welI felt as if atleast a 100 kg boulder was put on my back ,the air became heavier and harder to breathe in, I would've fell down and died if it was 4 days ago but now
"Ggk( withstood the pressure and did not take his eyes off the female knight ){ If we fight... (felt his heart turn cold ,filled with anxiety and fear)... I will lose! }
" That slime you just mentioned, was it a giant blue slime the size of a house? "
Rumble
The pressure intensified!! My legs were beginning to lose strength
" Y..YES !(Felt like a big under a boot){ Please! I honestly answered so don't kill me please! }I killed it , I'm sorry if I offended you ".
....
After another few seconds
Sssss
The pressure vanished and I almost fell down on my knees as I gasped heavily for air, but I didn't fall, I could die after all, I was still on high alert against this one
***
" Y..YES !....I killed it , I'm sorry if I offended you ".
Julia gazed at the boy coldy, as she was contemplating on what she saw and heard
{ Hmm... He doesn't seem to be lying, from the battle I saw,even without magic he somehow has enough prowess to actually kill the giant slime ,an intermediate Rank monster on the verge of becoming a high ranked monster, and with that sword of his is mythril as well ,a metal most monsters are weak against }
Then she came to a conclusion, she made her presence disappear and put her sword back to her waist
The young man almost fell down on his knees but didn't and stood weakly, he seemed ready to fight if needed despite the way he gasped for air
{ He's a born warrior it seems atleast }
With that she approached him and suddenly pulled out a white cloth out of her pocket on her right waist, the young man seems to be surprised to see that
Julia then covered his nakedness with the cloth and looked at the young man in his eyes and spoke
" I'm sorry for all that, I'm called Julia Rosenhart, knight of the Raven Viscountcy, may I know your name young adventurer? "
The young man blinked repeatedly with mixed emotions before he closed his eyes for a whole moment to process this situation, he seems to be ready to talk now
" I am called Saved (showed her his ID), I'm a 9th class swordsman , it's nice to meet to Dame Rosenhart "(lowered his head)
" Rise "(Julia)
With that they both stood up and Julia with lingering doubts on his identity on the youth called ' Saved ' who had no business being in the 9th class domain of strength when he could solo a boar king, a monster that even a group of four 8th class warriors would have a problem against, asked, witha much warmer tone and gaze
" That slime was you killed was an intermediate ranked threat that wiped out a village nearby recently, thank you for your service Adventurer Saved ,but as an investigator right now, before we give you any rewards , I'm sorry but we need to take you back to my lord's house for questioning ".
The young man remained silent for a moment, he tried to hide it but there was a clear sign of reluctance in his eyes ,but he seemed to understand the situation he was in as he replied
" Okay then "
" Follow me "
" (Followed her but suddenly stopped) Oh wait Dame Rosenhart! "
Julia turned back and asked with a puzzeld look
" ...(With a smile filled with anxiety on his face)...It...It may sound presumptuous but do you have any bag to carry grass in your inventory? "
"....."

Herman lifted his brows as his eyes widened at the sight he saw infront of him, after waiting for about an hour for knight Rosenhart to return ,he saw a sight that was rather peculiar, Knight Rosenhart seems to have brought back someone, who was apparently naked only wearing the white cloth on his body while carrying a ssaword on his back and a bag that seemed full of grass, Aurslane grass to be exact ,and they were slowly reaching him
Herman then asked what happened and who the exhibitionist near him was and was met by a passionate denial from said exhibitionist, Julia then explained and debrief who the exhibi.Ahem! Person was
Herman after hearing the knight's words bowed his head and apologize for his rudeness to their avenger and thank Saved for his actions with a grateful heart, Saved apparently noticed that too as he replied with a smile
" Don't be like that ,Mr Herman an elder shouldn't bow to a younger child like me "(picked Herman back up )
" ahaha You're strange as your name Mr Saved, young or not ,you deserve my respect "(with a resolute tone ,he then continued) " Please visit our village some other time when we rebuild it, I'll give you a big welcome "
" I will "(nodded)
Herman then looked at Julia and lado bowed
" Thank you knight Rosenhart "
" (With a small smile)It's my duty Son of Calis, and about rebuilding the Guilma village, a relief fund will be delivered to your village for rebuilding in few days so rest assure "
" (Held back a tear and bowed again ) My deepest thanks to the Lord Eric Flameheart Raven ,the Viscount, we are in your debt! "
With firm declaration,he stood back up with a rather ugly expression as he held his tears and smile back
Julia : "(her lips almost made a full blown smile of happiness but she held it back with all of her power, she wanted to protect her reputation as a cool knight afterall) let's head back then".
With that the three headed back and reached the destroyed village in no time, seeing the devastation caused by the slime he killed ,Saved was actually relieved that he killed the damn ball of acidic piss even more
And as Herman began explaining everything to his friends , Admiration and gratefullness seemed as if was now transferred from Julia to Saved completely, they all bowed their heads in thanks making Saved a bit uncomfortable
And with that, the remaining people of Guilma helped Saved and Julia prepare to leave ,Saved was given a commoner's clothes to wear as he couldn't possibly be sent back to the Viscount's territory only having a white cloth and his birthday suit
The villagers saw them off with bright smiles on their face under the setting Sun as they left for the Raven Viscountcy, Julia on a horse with a person to interrogate behind her and Saved with a bag containing 10 kg Aurslane grass as he clung on Julia
Saved looked back at the villagers and smiled ,he then promised himself to definitely visit this place again
