Death Guns In Another World-Chapter 48 - 46: Seeing Her Again
The main street in the city of Eria leading towards the Adventurer Guild was currently buzzing with noise and voices.
No, that was the usual situation, there wasn't anything strange about it. Except that today it seemed somehow different, different because people stopped and were gossiping about something, some were quietly whispering into of ears of those close to them to see the latter widening its eyes.
Even though Alex and Gracier found the atmosphere quite strange they decided to continue, whatever had happened has nothing to do with them. So, they thought. However, soon their assumption would be proven to be false.
When Alex and Gracier entered the guild it was crowded as usual but today the atmosphere was somehow different than usual. It was the same atmosphere as the two witnesses earlier.
The two continued advancing but curiosity got the better of them, stretching his ears Alex tried to listen to the gossiping Adventurers.
"Man you'll never believe what happened last night," Said Adventurer A.
"What happened? Quickly share it. When coming here I noticed the unusual atmosphere inside the town." Adventurer B said urging the other to quickly share what he knew.
Chuckling the Adventurer A started explaining what happened last night not forgetting to spice things a little.
"You know last night an illegal slave organization has been raided. All the culprits bounded and the poor girls rescued."
"Fuck those trashes to thinks that something like this was inside our city. Tell me who raided this illegal organization." another Adventurer asked.
Pursuing his lips together the Adventurer A answered "It was one girl."
The nearby Adventurer's eyes turned rounder when they heard the man.
"What? Only one girl? She must be strong then." Another Adventurer said after a moment of pondering.
"Really strong, she beat fifty bandits by herself. Their Boss is Peak Rank 6 I heard." Adventurer A added.
Suu!!
All nearby Adventurers sucked a mouthful of air while inwardly praising the lady. However, Adventurer, A next words send shiver down their crotchs, unconsciously they protected their family jewel.
"It's good that she saved the girls but she was ruthless. Too ruthless, even though I know that these bandits are scums that deserve to be punished, however the way she handled them was too ruthless, Sigh!. She crushed their family jewel, erased what made them man forever. They became dickless."
"Indeed, she was ruthless." the Adventurers commented still feeling chills down there.
Alex also feels a chill running down his crotch, that lady was indeed ruthless. Somehow, Alex had an idea of who the lady in question might be. He glanced at Gracier, the latter had a blank expression on her face as if lost in thoughts but if you look closely you could see that her lips were curved upward, she was fighting a grin.
"Let's go," Alex said bringing Gracier out of her stupor, nodding her head she followed him.
However, Alex had not taken his third when he almost stripped down, what Adventurer A said caught him off guard.
"You know people surnamed the mysterious lady, the Demoness a.k.a The Nuts Crusher."
"Pfft. Hahahaha" Alex couldn't control himself any longer so he started laughing, all nearby Adventurers glanced at him seeing his unusual behavior, nevertheless, he must have his reason for laughing, shaking their heads they returned gossiping.
Alex continued smiling as the two went toward Leena's counter. Suddenly, Alex heard Diaz mocking voice,
"Look it seems that the whelp has finally become crazy. He laughs without any reason. Poor soul."
"Pfft hahaha. He must be treated, maybe he didn't have money, should we lend him some?" one of Diaz's men asked.
Chuckling Diaz crossed his arms and put on a pondering expression as he replied "Maybe, but Nah I don't want to help him because he's foul-mouthed junior."
"Big brother Alex." Gracier held Alex's hand when she heard Diaz mocking him. You could hear the concern in her voice.
Strangely Alex was not angry, smiling Alex rubbed Gracier and the head and said. "Don't worry Gracier, he's just a clown. Let's go."
Nodding her head Gracier followed after him. Diaz clicked his tongue in annoyance because his little trick had not worked.
When the two approached Leena's counter they were surprised because Leena was dispirited, her head lowered, when she sensed the two approaches, her mood brightened especially when she spotted a smiling Gracier.
"Welcome you two. Little Cier Big sister is happy to see you. You're my sunshine, I hope you will always smile."
"Morning Big sister. Are you looking so dispirited?" Gracier asked innocently.
"Ugh! Nothing I just had a nightmare last night." Leena lied through her teeth.
"It that so. Well, don't worry it's just a nightmare." Gracier comforted Leena while inwardly smiling thinking 'Big sister is so bad at lying but I won't tell her I know she's lying, though.'
Alex chuckled, he felt that this little sister of his was somehow interesting, Leena had not noticed that Gracier had seen through her lie or she chooses to act like she hadn't.
Smiling Alex decided to tease Leena, "Morning Nuts Cru-"
Feeling Leena's murderous glare Alex quickly stopped whatever he was planning to say.
"Alex boy did you say something?" Leena asked arms crossed, eyes narrowed dangerously.
Gulping Alex shook his head and said, "Nothing I was just greeting you. Morning Leena."
"Good. Morning Alex. I hope you slept well. Be prudent when speaking, who knows when the Nuts Crusher might visit you." Leena says with a mysterious smile.
Smiling Alex didn't answer, suddenly the two turned their heads to see a Gracier chuckling. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
"What's wrong little Cier," Leena asked.
Shaking her need Gracier replied, "Nothing it's just that you two look like a bickering couple."
Alex and Leena exchange glance before shaking their heads thinking that it's unlikely for them to become couples.
For Alex, it was that he thought Leena was out of his reach as if she stands at the top. For the nobody him, he didn't think he has a chance, maybe it would have been different if he was also at the top.
For Leena, it was simply because she didn't have time for something like romance. Maybe she will after achieving her goal.
Gracier looked at the two who were lost in thoughts with a mysterious smile.
Suddenly, a voice brought Alex and Leena out of their stupors. Glancing at the owner of the voice, Alex was startled because he remembered the girl, she was the plain girl they saw yesterday evening after leaving Dior's Store. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺
"Your pervert who was stalking me yesterday now that I saw you I demand an explanation. Why are you stalking me?" the black-haired girl asked.
〖She's the funny type I see.〗Silveria who hadn't talked since the morning finally spoke after hearing the girl's words.
'What's so funny in what she just said? Call her troubles bringer type instead of funny type.' Alex said unhappily.
Frowning Alex glared at the girl and says "When did I become a stalker? I never saw you before. Yesterday was the first time I saw you. Do not slander me."
Gracier smiled and observed the two, she was sure that Alex would encounter the girl again, however, she had not thought it would have been so soon.
Leena looked amused because she knew how playful this Black haired girl can be. For proof when the other Adventurers heard her voice they thought it would have been something interesting however after seeing who the voice owner was they lost all interest in the matter.
Pursuing her lips the Black-haired crossed her arms and says "You're lying. You're staring so intensely at me last night as if you can wait to assault me. I was so scared that I quickly fled. Thanks to the gods you did not follow me because you saw that I took a crowded road."
Feeling headache coming Alex held his head and said in a frosty tone "I say girl you have read too much of fantasy books to misinterpret your delusion as reality. Spare me from trouble will you? I admit that I should have not stared so intensely at you but it was because somehow I had the feeling that you're not what you're trying to show. That's all, I'm not some sort of fuckin pervert, nor I'm one of the stalkers you read in your books."
The Black haired girl's eyes shined for a moment when Alex mentioned about her hiding her true self. Inwardly she thought 'Interesting. You're interesting.'
However, she was not planning to let the matter slide like that, when she wanted to continue pestering Alex a voice cut her off.
"Okay, that enough Eleonora. You have teased Alex enough." Leena chime in.
Glancing at Leena the Black haired girl, no Eleonora pouted "Leena you're no fun at all."
"Fufufu! thanks for the praise. Let make the presentation. Alex this is Eleonora, a future D Rank Adventurer, and Eleonora this is Alex, he's also a future D Rank Adventurer. Maybe you will be taking the D Rank examination together." Leena said with a smile.
Alex's eyes widened, he had not thought the girl to be soon a D Rank Adventurer like him. For him, she will be an E Rank Adventurer at best.
On the other hand, the girl was also astonished by the news. Suddenly she smiled as she thought Alex was an interesting fellow.
Suddenly, someone shouted, this person was furious by the news of Alex becoming a D Rank Adventurer.
"It's unfair. I refuse to accept this. How can that whelp become D Rank just after registering just two weeks ago? He must have cheated." Diaz shouted not believing in the news.
"Stop it, Diaz. One must have all informations before contesting a decision you just heard. It's true that Alex just recently become an Adventurer but he has completed numerous quests on his last quest he killed an entire settlement of Goblins. Thirty Goblins to be exact." a burly Adventurer explained after stopping Diaz.
"What?" Diaz and his men asked eyes filled with disbelief.
"That not all. He even killed a rare species, something only D Rank Adventurer could face. So, it was normal that he would get promoted. So, stop saying something stupid before it becomes too late. The guild master will not go easy on you if you continue to question a decision he has taken." the burly Adventurer warned.
Diaz and his men's expression turned gloomy as they glared at Alex, the latter smiled in response.
Infuriated Diaz announced, "Fine I understand but eh! the future D Rank wouldn't mind fighting against a poor E Rank Adventurer will he? I provoke you to a duel. I dare you to accept it. You can refuse but that will prove that you're nothing just a lucky dude."
The other Adventurers' eyes shined when they heard Diaz provoking Alex to a duel. An interesting show was about to happen.
Alex smiled hearing Diaz provocation, truth be told he had become somehow fed up with the man, he was planning to teach him a lesson but he didn't know how, but who would have thought that the man in question would deliver himself on a silver plate to be sliced. How funny.
Before Alex could respond Leena approached him and whispered something into his ear, Alex smiled brightly after hearing Leena's words.
"Okay, I accept let's proceed outside." Alex accepted with a mysterious smile.
Even though Diaz and his men felt that something was wrong especially after seeing the smiling Alex whose face held no fear they still decided to continue. Everybody went outside, many Adventurers were ready to watch a good show. The bolder ones started betting on the winner.
