Chapter 78: Mad Warrior 1

After the sun had fallen and dinner had been served, there was practically no more work to be done today. I can, at most, be on the lookout for students who may slip out in the middle of the night, but that was of no concern to me.

And so I had left the dormitory and headed out into the city.

I didnt simply leave for the downtown district, of course. To start with, Windell was a relatively safe city, therefore, the downtown district was not as thriving as Seal, and the number of stores was not as large as expected.

For this reason, I was able to readily locate the bar I was searching for.

When I drew closer, it was noticeable that the person I was waiting for had already arrived.

So I took a short run toward her, and it seemed that she had spotted me, too. Her brow creased up blatantly. That reaction was perhaps a bit uncalled for.

Excuse me, did you wait long?

Yes, I waited for about half an hour.

Anyway, it was my fault for being late, for which I sincerely apologized, but the response came back in a distinctly grumpy tone.

I am sorry, I just didnt have a chance to get out of there as quickly as I thought I would.

I dont see a direct connection between that and the reason you kept me waiting, though.

Her forehead was mildly perspiring when I observed her. Sure enough, even if it was nighttime, she would have been sweating after waiting outside for 30 minutes in the middle of summer. I was entirely to blame for this.

Please accept my sincere apologies; the next time, Ill treat you to something. Ms. Felt

If you are truly sorry, I would appreciate it if you would let me and Sasha have no further contact with you.

Felt folded her arms and turned away.

You are as cold as ever.

If anything, it would be lunacy if I wasnt cold after what you made me witness.

I apologize for playing ripping cheese with Ms. Sashas body, but that was nothing more than an impulse.

More like, I would find it all the more remarkable if she did not have a cold disposition toward me when I presented her with such an act, nonetheless, I supposed that was the extent of Felts determination.

Well, lets put that aside. So, what is your business after calling me all the way to Windell? I was hoping you could at least clarify the details before calling me.

Oh, about that, it would be a big help if you would follow me for now.

Like I said, cant you tell me whats going on before you

Without any further explanation, I entered the bar on my own. Being caught entering this place would be dreadful for a wide range of reasons, so I made sure to conceal my appearance with Mist Veil. In the background, I can hear a sigh and the sound of footsteps. Regardless of what she said with her mouth, she cannot ultimately defy me.

Once inside, I was instantaneously overcome by the noise and the pungent smell of booze and cigarettes. As expected, this was one of the citys top five bars for criminals. The Garrisoned Corps of this city probably was aware of the actual operation of this bar, but it was likely too hazardous a place to venture into recklessly.

Our unfamiliar faces were confronted by the stern stares of the patrons. Felt would stand out from the crowd because of her appearance, but me in particular, with my body covered in mist, would give off an ominous vibe. Even the owner at the counter gave us the once-over while sporting a scowled expression.

What are you ordering?

I am here to have a meeting with Warmaker. Where can I locate him?

Hey, Felt. Havent seen you in a month or so. How are you killing it at Seal?

You are the same as always, huh?

Its in my nature.

Warmaker lightly sat up after moving the woman out of the way.

So, whos that guy next to you?

Nice to meet you. I am

Right there, something flew into my open mouth. Along with it, an impact knocked me backward.

I soon realized that what was jabbed into my mouth was a fruit knife.

I am talking to Felt right now. No one said you could speak.

Gato, then he is already dead. Didnt I tell you not to be so prone to anger?

Shut up, all thats necessary is Felt.

It would seem that Warmaker was even more quick-tempered than I had thought.

Overhead, I heard Felt release a sigh.

Sigh well, I guess everyone would figure that to be the case.

Huh?

That guy, hes not dead.

Tsk, she was always so prompt in revealing the truth.

As I slowly got up, I could feel through my skin that the two people on the other side were astounded.

This is astonishing. I have witnessed countless people crawling up from the brink of death, but never did I expect to see one who would undoubtedly rise from the dead.

Hahaha! You, arent you an entertaining one!?

The woman concealed her mouth with a fan and squinted her eyes, and WarmakerGato howled savagely and pulled a dagger out of the void. From the glimpse of a magic circle on the palm of his right hand, it appeared that the knife he abruptly flung earlier was also a sleight of hand there.

Regardless, I withdrew the knife from my mouth and threw it away, and then I asked him in passing.

Well is there a way to discuss anyway?

Hah, isnt that impossible!

Accompanied by these words, Gato was on the offensive.
