[76] Getting Ready to Strike!

[76] Getting Ready to Strike!

It didn't take long before the two of them finished their meal.

However, there were quite a few strange looks directed at August from the surroundings.

August had an idea in his mind. After all, he was a newcomer in Orario, and even though there had been some disturbances due to Riveria, Ais, and Aki in the past, it was all within a small scope.

"Ais, wait for a moment and go back on your own. I have something to deal with."

"Okay."

Without asking what it was, Ais's trust in August was truly remarkable.

And so, Ais got up and left.

With Ais's departure, the malicious glances towards August suddenly increased.

Especially for August, who could perceive human sins, the malicious intent was incredibly clear to him.

Dong~

At that moment, Syr walked over and placed a plate of grilled meat on the table.

"I didn't order this."

"This is my staff meal."

"Are you off work already?"

August glanced around, and the other two cat-girls were still welcoming customers and taking orders.

"I told them I wasn't feeling well."

"Alright."

August nodded. He almost forgot about the true identity of this seemingly approachable girl and the real situation of the Hostess of Fertility.

You see, the owner of this shop, Boss Mia, was Freya Familia former captain.

And Syr was Freya's alternate self. Although she worked here, practically anything she wanted to do here was fine.

"Where's Miss Ais?"

"She went back first."

"Why didn't Mr. August leave with her? Could it be that you're waiting for me?"

"That's not impossible, but I plan to deal with some small matters later."

"Hmm? Is he very strong?"

"Ah, yes, he is quite powerful."

Syr revealed a mysterious smile. As for Ryuu, she no longer cared after hearing about his strength. She only spoke because he was Syr's friend and now knew that he possessed some strength.

On the other hand, after leaving Hostess of Fertility, August deliberately turned into a narrow alley.

He turned a few corners and arrived at a relatively secluded place.

"You've been following me all the way, come out."

In a dark alley, August slowly spoke.

"Haha, kid, you're quite clever."

Then, three people emerged from the darkness.

Their faces were filled with ferocity, but their strengths were mediocre. The leader was at level 2, and the other two were at level 1.

"You harbored malice toward me in the store. I'm curious, I shouldn't know you, right?"

August asked, expressing his doubts. It was their first meeting, and even if they were driven by greed, with Ais by his side, most people would dismiss such thoughts.

"Kid, we've been observing you for some time."

"Hmm?"

"You've been to the dungeon with Nine Hell, Sword Princess, and Alchat every time, and each time, you've gained a lot."

"Hmm, knowing all that, you still dare to target me. It seems you've planned this for a while."

"I know you're from the Loki Familia, but in Orario, people die every day. As a newcomer, even if you die, it's quite normal."

"In Orario, strength is everything. Even if we kill you here, what does it matter? As long as we throw you into dungeon, you'll be deemed killed by the monsters in the dungeon."

August nodded, already forming some speculations in his mind.

These guys were likely just ignorant and fearless.

However, there was one thing he agreed with: in Orario, strength was everything.

"Thank you for answering my questions. As a reward, I'll send you to a mysterious place."

August's lips curled slightly, and a terrifying aura of killing intent emanated from him.

This scene startled the three individuals. They were just common fish in Orario and had never encountered such a situation.
