Chapter 79: Agent Hestia ‘007’ Atsuko.
[Humanized (Major)] [Stage Fever (Minor)] inflicted on [Young Spark Inferno Dragon, Hestia Atsuko]
Yeah, there is nothing to do here besides to sing
Because my hands are tied together, oh, oh
And, this wagon shakes around far too much
Why couldnt you give us some cushions
.
Look, this wagon is far too dirty to sit inside
Go clean it up once we make it to your camp
Come on, thats the least you could have done, oh yeah
.
And, the river is right next to these woods
Do yourself a favor and go jump in it
You idiots, you smell like excrement
.
You guys are losers
Can you even understand what my words mean
Or has crime degrade your brains to waste
Or was it that barrel of beer from last night?
.
FUCKIN HELL; you little noble bitch! Close your whore mouth, otherwise Ill cut that damn tongue of yours off! a filthy man shouted, banging on the wooden bars of this prison wagon with his fist.
.
OH, SHUT UP you greased up rat! Threaten me as much as you want but you cant do anything to me because
You guys are losers
Why cant you try to live with everybody peacefully
Get a job, instead of killing people wantonly
Or at least try to clean yourself daily!
.
The bandits, with their dirt-filled hands, banged on the prison bars as they furiously shouted at me for insulting them in song. The other people in the wagon with me were obviously scared from this display of pure hostility but they looked like they were more worried about me, than themselves at this point, seeing as none of the bandits harassed them.
Whether friendlies or enemies, the more people that are focusing on me seems to not only increase my stats but also my morale. If I can increase it up to Moderate, then [Stage Fever] is pretty dope.
Stage Fever
A skill reserved for those that seek attention. Increases all static stats and regeneration of Health, Mana, and Stamina depending on how long the owner is able to keep the attention of people, increasing in effectiveness with more people around. Increases mental fortification of the user, defending them from the effects of detrimental Aura and Mental skills or spells. Low effectiveness with Minor. Moderate = Level of Skill / 10 increase to stats. Major = 0.5 + (Level of Skill / 10) increase to stats
Will you fucking piece of shits shut your mouths already! a man with the greasy mullet shouted, riding the carriage in the front. Are ya guys so dumb that ya would get provoked by the mana blood?! Shes intentionally doing it! Ignore the bitch already, and dont ya fuckin dare touch a hair on her! Shes made from pure goldite!
He then stood up from his seat and glared at me, angrily, Lass, you better shut ya mouth up, too. Ive got nothin against some good singin, but youve been spoutin out that shit for the past hour, now! Dont forget that we can decide whether you get back to ya cozy home or become a whore for some fat noble pig!
Hearing that, I raised a hand in the air and answered back, dispassionately, Yeah, youve already told me that. Youre repeating yourself, Mister, but I dont care. Instead, tell these idiots to clean the wagons next time. My skirt is getting dirty from sitting around.
He scowled at me for a moment but then turned around and sat back down roughly, having to massage his butt due to the wooden seat.
Heh.
So, you might wonder why Im inside a prison wagon while greasy, filthy, disgusting men, humans and beastmen, are transporting it, right? Well, after we found the bandits attacking a group of villagers and farmers, I suggested to Saori and Mister Kushlekzar operation Agent Hestia 007 Atsuko.
With Saori having lost Lorena's scent after the rain, we were pretty lucky to have found the bandits immediately afterward. We technically could have busted them at the spot, but the problem was "how much would it benefit us?"
How do we know that these are the only bandits? Where was their camp?
Krim-slak and Grazlahta both suggested to torture them for the information, and, in hindsight, that might have been the better idea to preserve my clothes hygiene. However, sacrificing my personal needs was more important here, as I had a way to efficiently finish this Quest, securing the villagers in addition to beating all the bandits.
First, we needed to sneak one of us inside. We needed somebody that looked weak enough to be a perfect prison target for the bandits without getting too much surveillance while inside their camp.
The saurians were out of the question as they looked intimidating. Saori could have done it but she wasn't able to transform into a human and her wolfkin form looked pretty scary, honestly. That meant the only choices were Tasianna or mebut Tasianna hated humans so much that she would've probably blown her cover the moment one of them touched her.
After my capture, I would try to gather all the villagers in one place and afterward signal everybody outside to launch the attack on the camp. With me inside, I can not only protect the villagers with [Sanctuary] or [Air Shield] but also take the bandits down with my spells. It was a pretty good plan if nothing weird happened.
Sothen why am I purposely provoking these bandits, then? Antagonizing them and risking them being wary of me?
Well, the reason lies with the fact that these fucking bastards LITERALLY harassed all the women that were with me inside these wagons. They admitted to the fact that they killed a few male villagers in their attack and then burned their corpses, all in front of their family.
There were also a few men inside but compared to the young women who had minor bruises, they were beaten up to the point that they lost consciousness. Bloodied faces and black eyes, it looked like a mob thrashed them with sadistic pleasure.
Honestly? I could believe that, considering how much fun these bandits had while aggravating the women to the point of tears, terrorizing them with Youre gonna make for a fine night partner, lass or Big ones bring in the money, mhmm.
Lecherous filth.
So, the moment that I heard their boss telling them to not land a hand on me cause they thought I was a noble girl, technically I was royalty, I knew that I could bitch around without any repercussions.
And by god, Ive been doing just that. I didnt just want to spit in their faces with insults, but I wanted to dedicate songs to their filthy appearances, enlightening them about why they are the filth of society. I drew the ire away from the women and girls and towards myself.
Hie hie, watching their faces, reddened to the point of tomatoes, showing anger and frustration at me was the best. Oh, now I know why some people found this sort of schadenfreude so delightfuland its even better when I was stronger than every single one of them, despite only having 1/3rd of my original stats.
Yes, I was under [Humanization (Major)]. I am a human right now, instead of a dragonewt. I needed to look weak and innocent, after all. With my clothes that even Colwyn and Lorena found wealthy-looking, I knew if I turned into a human, these bandits would think that I was some important person. I could have done it better if I had shoes, but, alas
Hey, its us! Drop your bows, lads! the man with the mullet shouted once we were out of the woods.
Jasper? Jasper! Lads, its Jasper and fire slinger. Dont fuckin shoot! one of the bowmen commanded from behind a fence made from wooden spikes, recognizing the two men riding on the front carriage.
Fire slinger? Oh right, the fire mage. Uhm, I think his name was Macklemor or something when I took a look at his status board.

A note from AbyssRaven
Hestia might be a nice girl but that doesn't mean her brattiness doesn't exist! She acted pretty bratty with Astalos, the wyvern, but his trumps it I guess. RIP, bandits, you guys got roasted hard.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.
I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.
Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.
I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
