173 - - Episode 16 One-Winged Angel of the Red Lotus

The red string bracelet the girl is wearing. I like it. I'll pay you what you want, so give it to me."

When I turned to look at the voice, I saw a strong-minded looking girl standing there.

She was wearing a sorceress-style cloak, her blonde hair was curled in vertical rolls, and her eyes were slanted. She was a head taller than Mya, and her breasts were larger than Mya's.

She was a beautiful girl who seemed strong-minded from the outside, which suited her behavior very well.

She approaches Mya and the others, playing the vertical roll with her arms in a pointless manner.

Mya rejects without a moment's hesitation.

'You can't put a price on something given to you by someone you love. Let's go, big brother."

Oh, oh.

Nudged by Mya, they both tried to walk past her, but the strong-willed blonde intercepted them as a matter of course.

Wait!　I understood that it was a gift from someone important to you, but I always get what I want."

The girl flaps her cape uselessly, holds one eye in a pose she must think is cool in her own way, and begins to introduce herself.

My name is Quone!　We call him the genius magician, Violet Foreign Angel!

"............"

Erio and Miya's siblings freeze, not knowing how to react in front of a type they have never met in their lives before - the middle two disease type.

Quone, under the illusion that his own self-introduction is overwhelming them, opens his mouth in an even better mood.

I'm a fourth-grade magician at the Six Principality Magic Academy. I see that you are also a magician. Then, let's have a bet on that bracelet."

By the way, how good is a "Fourth Class Magician of the Six Principality Magician Academy"?

This is a rank defined by the Six Principality Magician Academy and can be roughly defined at .......

1st Class--A sorcerer who can handle the Tactical Class; 1st class.

2nd level - a semi-first-rate wizard who can destroy the chanting of offensive magic.

3rd level: 2nd level, who cannot break the chanting of offensive magic, but can shorten the chanting.

4th level: A magician of general ability recognized by the school.

5th level: apprentice magicians.

That's all.

In other words, the 4th level is a magician who is recognized as "a magician with a certain level of competence" by the academy, which is the highest level for magicians.

Generally speaking, they are considered to be more competent than those who study in the countryside or those who train on their own.

Cuone moves his hand, which had been holding one eye, wide and thrusts it at Mya.

'The game is to see who can hunt more monsters out of town. If I lose the game, I can recommend you to the Duke's Academy of Magicians.

I am a magician, too, but I refuse. As I said before, the misanga (this) is a gift from a very important person. I will never give it to you under any condition, even if you offer me a large sum of money. Excuse me."

Mya was surprised by her vigor, but again dismissed the conditions she was offered without a second thought.

That's how much she cherishes the misanga (this one) that Dirk gave her as a gift.

She is also angry at the betting on the misanga, and she is unusually cold toward Quorn.

He tries to walk past Quone, but she stops him again.

Wait a minute!　We're not done talking yet!"

I have nothing more to say to you. Besides, we are in a hurry because we have an appointment with some friends for dinner later.

There is still time for the dinner with the Mohicans, but Mya uses it as an excuse to get around Quorn.

However, Quone does not back down and persists in his entanglement with Mya.

If so, let's play a game at a later date. You don't look familiar around here, aren't you adventurers or something?　Tell us where you are staying. And we'll play again later!

No, so I'm not going to play..."

Mya and Erio, isn't that a coincidence?

As Miya and Quone are arguing, the Mohicans walk by at the right time.

Apparently, they too were killing time by going around town until it was time to go.

Mya waved to the Mohicans as if to say, "Nice timing.

'My friend just arrived, so I'll leave you with this. Let's all launch the quest that we were able to successfully accomplish..."

Hey!　Wait a minute!"

As Miya was about to run up to the Mohicans with a smile on her face, Quone hurriedly grabbed her arm and held her back.

Quone is a head taller than Mya, and it is difficult for him to shake her off when she grabs his arm and holds him back.

Mya looked back at Quorn with a blatant scowl on her face.

She looks back at Quone with a blatant scowl on her face, "......? We're busy with Mohawk and the rest of the team as we're about to launch our quest.

(Ugh, what are you talking about launching?　I can't believe I'm about to share a meal with such obviously dangerous-looking people!　Of course you're being tricked!　They're dressed like they're going to threaten you, licking knives like that!　They'll definitely put sleeping pills or something in your food, catch you, and sell you off as a slave!　No, I'm sure they'll say, "Heh heh heh, I'll just have a taste" or "Ha ha ha!　They'll say things like, "Hey, it's a perk," and, yeah, of course they'll do naughty things to you!　Especially since you're so pretty, they're going to do horrible things to you that you can't even say out loud!　(You're a girl, you should take better care of yourself!)

Mya's face turns red from shame and she denies it when Quone points it out in a whisper.

She says, "Heh, don't say strange things!　They may look scary on the outside, but they are good people."

（Is it true?)

It's okay, believe me."

Quone looks at her doubtfully.

Miya assured him with her chest that was beginning to grow.

As the two were exchanging, the Mohicans, who had been watching the conversation between Mya and the others, started chatting.

'Mya, have you made any friends in the city yet?'

Girls that age make friends easily, no wonder.

Yes, yes, yes. The girls we caught in the forest and sold to the slavers soon became friends with the same slave girls, right? That's how it's supposed to be.

The girls we caught and sold to the slavers became good friends right away. I hope they are doing well too. ......

I'm sure you'll be fine. I heard they were sold off to the "Giant Tower."

The air between Mya and Quone freezes as the Mohicans talk.

Quone's eyes widen beyond their limits, and he grabs Mya by the shoulders and wobbles her.

'Look what you see!　They want your little body!　If you're in need of money, I'm here to help you, and if you have a weakness, I'm here to help you!"

That's not true!　The story about catching him in the woods is a story, too!　So they are not what you think they are!"

Not to be outdone by Quone's power, Miya also denies it forcefully.

Her strong denial made even Quone change his mind.

In other words, those mohawks are not after you, but your ...... brother!

He said, "I'm not even after my brother. ...... And why do you look a little happy ......?"

Quone removes her hand from Mya's shoulder and turns her gaze to her brother Elio, her cheeks tinted.

Mya can't stop thinking about her attitude.

It took him a little longer to clear up her misunderstanding.
