Chapter 394: What a Fierce Tigress!

-----

After being done with assessing things out and coping with perhaps, becoming Gods, Veronica and Ervas quickly went with their large group of people through the streets of Seashore, walking all the way to the Adventurer Guild.

To not make their group too big, only Ervas, Veronica, Percy, Pekorina, Pekonisia, Kuro, and the kids went to the Adventurer Guild, as the rest of the people decided to go to the Restaurant and open it as soon as possible, as there were people outside waiting for them to open already, and they had been only late for about half an hour since the usual opening hour.

"The Kids" within this group included Lilith's sister's children, Tina, Lime, Vina, and Asure, alongside Pekonisia's daughter Fei, and the three children that they found two weeks ago inside the building they bought, Bert, Acaracia, and Mitiliph.

The kids were doing pretty well together, and after some weeks of knowing each other they seemed to have become good friends, the boys in specific had taken into some healthy rivalry that would boost their growth as warriors, and the girls… as well, perhaps even more intense than the boys.

Today not only Kuro was being registered but also Tina, Lime, Vina, Asure, and Fei, all of such children have already registered as citizens in the previous three days thanks to Willian.

In these days, Ervas and Veronica also sold more Ores to gain easy and quick money which Willian did not complain about, but they were soon to also sell products such as E-Cream, Concoctions, Potions, and Wine, which they would be selling inside a large store they planned to make by buying another abandoned building.

They had planned to open a store that could sell literally everything, from food such as meat, cheese, bread, vegetables, grains, and fruits, and things such as equipment, weapons, potions of all types, wines, and products like cooking utensils, furniture, and many more things.

They had already planned in making the first convenience store in all of Kritias, which sold literally everything at cheap prices.

Most of these products were able to be generated easily and completely for free, such as fruits, vegetables, and plants from the plant-type monsters, meat from Nyarlathotep and Anir's Bone Marrow, armor, weapons, utensils, and furniture from Veronica, wood-based furniture from the plant-type monsters too, wine and E-Cream directly from Ervas and Veronica, and clothes from them and Charlotte and other people too.

They were even planning in introducing cursed weapons and armor and make them seen as normal items instead of being feared, especially because these items could grow alongside the user due to being monsters with a Status, leveling up, ranking up, and learning Skills with their wielder.

This was an age of revolution, indeed!

However, they still thought that the introduction of such equipment should be done slowly… and not immediately, so for now, they would sell mass-produced things.

…This was also a way for Ervas and Veronica to keep an eye on more and more people through the equipment, which will be lesser Veronica clones!

Well, not all of them would be!

But a majority of them will carry a bit of her phantom.

They believed that they could even change the complete state of the Red-Light district by selling good and cheap products to the people, and slowly build a monopoly in the most infamous place of the city.

Most merchants never opened shops there because…

Well, it was filled with dangerous thugs and criminals!

But because all of them were strong, they never had to worry about these lowly thugs, so they saw the Red-Light district as a place where they could do whatever they wanted, and possibly take over it.

"Uwah, we are here!" said Tina, the daughter of Lilith, waving her long, purple-scaled tail. She was wearing a beautiful black dress alongside some black armor over her tiny body. She wielded two daggers as her weapons, which imitated her mother's dual-wielding of swords.

"Let's become Adventurers!" said Vina, the daughter of Eisheth, a Blood Half-Orc, adorably twitching her pig-like ears atop her head. She was rather tall because of being half-orc, so she wore heavier armor and a large mace.

"So excited! We can complete the quest and all of that stuff!" said Lime, the son of Agrat, a Blood Half-Kobold, as he waved his fluffy wolf-like tail, he wore leather armor and liked to use a long spear to fight, being a nimble-type of a fighter.

"Let's make our mothers proud!" said Asure, the son of Naamah, a Blood Half-Goblin, as he seemed excited about the possibilities of becoming an adventurer and making his mother proud. His body was even lighter than Lime, so he wore a similar type of clothes, but his weapon of choice were daggers and a crossbow.

"Yes! I can't wait, let's get in, fuh!" said Fei, the daughter of Pekonisia, and a Light Wolpertinger, busting inside the Adventurer Guild tavern while flapping her fluffy arms that resembled wings.

BOOM!

"Fei, don't be so reckless, my dear! Oh my, are you hurt?" asked Pekonisia, as she glanced at Fei.

"No, I am fine!" said Fei as she waved her little, very tiny bunny tail, which was more as if she was waving her butt around, making it funny and cute.

"Don't worry her defense is pretty high," said Veronica.

"Oi, who the heck is this weird kid? Why did you open the door like that?! Didn't your mother taught you manners?!" roared a cat-kin old man with a scar on his left eye, as he grabbed Fei's arm upwards and began to inspect her body, finding her high-quality equipment.

"How about you compensate for the annoyance with that nice dagger you got there? And maybe this little pouch of money?" asked the man as he grinned eerily.

"Let my daughter go!" roared Pekonisia, as she was about to blast the man away with a Wind-Attribute Spell, but Fei was not any defenseless child!

"I wanted to enter! Don't touch me, old creep!" roared Fei, as her claws suddenly sliced through the man's tender flesh, making him scream in pain!

"AGH! My hand!!! …W-What the heck?! I have over 500 Defense, how can this kid slash my skin?!" cried the man, falling into the floor as the blood kept coming out of the slashing wound.

"Graaa! Go away!" roared Fei, intimidating the man as he ran away from the tavern!

"Gyyyhh…! F-Fucking kid! Y-You are going to pay for this! Where the fuck is my gang when I need them?!" said the man as he went running away while the blood kept flowing out of his wound.

The people around the tavern who were all glaring with stupid smiles at the man abusing the little girl were left surprised…

"D-Did that girl just intimidated that guy?"

"W-Wasn't he Ranks D though?"

"Yeah…"

"Oi, that kid did something wrong, we better apprehend her and ask her mother for some compensation for our pal!"

"Yeah!"

"Wait, what are you saying?"

"You shut the fuck up!"

"Eeep…!"

A drunk old man alongside his party of beast-kin and demons walked towards Fei and Pekonisia with stupid grins…

Fei and Pekonisia were about to slash them away and blast them into pieces whenever they walked a single more step towards them, but Veronica and Ervas quickly entered the tavern with everyone else.

"Hey, she's a child, who are you going to do what? She was defending herself from that old creep. If you have a problem with her you will have to go through me, pal," said Veronica, glaring at the men with her crimson eyes, as they immediately recognized her!

Especially that one guy with a serious wound on his entire face… he was the one that she hit the other day!

"Oi, oi, oi! They are with Veronica?!"

"Fuck, fuck, let's get out of here!"

"S-Sorry! W-We were just playing around!"

"Y-Yeah, have a nice morning miss, Veronica!"

The group of drunkards quickly ran outside of the tavern, leaving everyone else present in dead silence…

"Oh it seems that lady Veronica is rather popular around here…" said Pekonisia.

"Yeah, I beat them up so much that they fear me to death now, and I gained some good reputation due to that. Whenever someone tries to mess with you, instead of killing them maybe tell them you know me, perhaps they will end up saving their lives," said Veronica.

"I see, we'll keep that in mind," said Pekonisia.

"Auntie Veronica is so cool, mommy!" said Fei.

"She's a tigress…"

"Too fierce…"

"Ah, there she goes…"

"Man, she's too deadly but every time I see her I can't help but skip a beat…"

"Damn, she got even more kids around her… does she has an orphanage or something?"

The people began to talk in a lower voice, thinking that Veronica could not hear them, but she simply let them be.

Potin quickly received Veronica's party with a bitter smile while sweating intensively, he already knew the full extent of her power, and Vairvec had told him several times to never make her angry, so he forced himself to smile.

"L-Lady Veronica! D-D-D-Did you… come to take a quest, perhaps?" asked Potin.

"Before that, I came to register these little hatchlings, let's go up," said Veronica.

"Y-Yes…" said Potin, as he immediately led everyone upstairs, the rest of the Adventurers glanced at this with surprise, but most of them were already getting used to it…

After all, alongside being rich aristocrats, Ervas and Veronica had already become A-Rank Adventurers in Seashore in the span of… two weeks…

And no one in their sane judgment would ever mess with A-Rank Adventurers which were also filthy rich and had a some authority in the city!
