"Dantalian, you know, right? Some areas are restricted to touch only, just look," said Fiona.
"Are you sure about that? Weren't you wanting my touch a few days ago?" questioned Dantalian.
"Yes, I want it, and much more. I'm doing this for your own good, after all, it will be my first time, so I won't be able to control my strength, and I don't want to break your companion," Fiona spoke, looking directly at Dantalian's parts.
"Break? No... No... No, it can't be, it's forbidden, master! Don't do anything to her, understood? Understood?" exclaimed a worried Amanda.
"Hahaha, calm down, Amanda. This is just motivation for him," said Fiona.
"Huh? Motivation?"
Dantalian sat next to Freytan, who remained motionless, looking out the carriage window.
"Stay strong, and what she's saying is true, something is wrong here since I'm not the strongest."
"Exactly, the guild master always needs to be at the top, never below. So, only when you can truly defeat me, you can claim your reward," Fiona ran her hand over her body, imagining a pleasurable future. "Just thinking about it gets me excited."
"If that's the case, we should head straight to the elven kingdom without any stops, right? We already have everything we need, and there we can enjoy giving small rewards as the master evolves."
"Oh, Amanda, you improved my idea. You don't even seem like the shy girl from a little while ago."
"Shy? No, I was just afraid the master would find me strange, that's all."
"Well, you don't have to worry about that. You saw his gaze and what he said, right?"
Amanda jumped onto Dantalian's lap without saying a word, just looking at him.
Dantalian looked into her eyes. "Okay, I understand, you audacious girl. I'll say it once: it's impossible for me to find you strange. Are you happy now?"
"Yes, very much, master. So, should we go now?"
"Before that, change your clothes. Only I am allowed to see you like this, and the same goes for both of you."
"I'm not going to wear that," Freytan said.
"Who said that? Stay quiet, Amanda."
"No need to state the obvious, Dantalian. A cow will never betray its owner unless he sells it himself," Fiona's words made Amanda and Freytan stop looking at Dantalian and start looking at her, wondering what she meant.
"Talking about cows again... What did the master do to your head?"
"Oh, she's been like that since the beginning, Amanda. And Dantalian is no different. Look at that smile; it seems he liked it."
Amanda looked thoughtfully at Fiona. "Teach me about it?"
"Amanda, stop it, okay? You can't ask Fiona that kind of thing."
"Why not? The master likes it, right? Then I want to know."
"No, you have to stay like this. You're perfect just the way you are, no turning into a cow or anything like that."
Before the conversation could continue, someone began pounding on the door, shouting, "You son of a bitch, come out! You don't want the coins? Then come and get it, you bastard!"
Freytan turned to Dantalian and said, "So, the useless one from earlier brought some friends. If you want, I can sharpen my sword on them while you continue this strange conversation."
Dantalian looked to the side, seeing a group of twelve people. He didn't imagine that even after that scene, someone would have the audacity to follow this guy's orders.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I had already forgotten about him thanks to Fiona, but since he decided to show up, I'll teach him a real lesson."
"I see, so now you have a good reason?" Freytan looked at the two of them still dressed as rabbits and said, "If you want to see Dantalian beat up some idiots, it's a good idea to change your clothes."
Dantalian looked around. If he were to open the carriage now, the eyes of those bastards would be blessed. If that happened, they would have to die.
"What's wrong? Scared now, guild master? You're nothing but a noble with a whore swordsman."
After hearing this, Amanda unsheathed her sword, opened the carriage door, and jumped out, closing it before any of the idiots could see anything. Touching her right foot to the ground, she advanced towards the bastard, grabbing his neck without giving him time to react, lifting him off the ground, his feet a few centimeters off the floor.
"Say it again? What did you call me?"
"Haaa... H-hel... Help..." The adventurer spoke with almost gray eyes, looking at Dantalian in front of the carriage door, witnessing this scene. Something came to Dantalian's mind.
'She got so furious just because of that?... Oh no, in my other world, some would turn into a demon by this time. If the women here are like that, then...'
"Hey, you bastard, aren't you going to do anything? That..." Before the extra could say anything else, Dantalian raised his leg and stomped forcefully on the ground.
"If you don't want to die, you better shut up."
All the adventurers sat on the ground, contemplating what kind of demons those two people were. Even though their leader was being choked to death, there was nothing they could do. Meanwhile, in Dantalian's mind, he thought,I think you should take a look at
"It's going to be hard to calm her down now if someone else opens their mouth."
"Ah... Just kill me already..."
"Oh, right, I shouldn't be doing this..." Freytan released the adventurer on the ground. All the others felt relieved when they realized that there was no reason for it. If she hadn't killed him yet, it meant there was something worse waiting for them. That idea was etched into their minds.
"Dantalian, sorry, I lost control. You can have your fun," Freytan said.
"Hahaha, I think I don't even need it anymore... Everyone has already learned," Dantalian looked around, seeing everyone nodding in agreement.
"So, are you going to let them go?" Fiona asked, sitting on the carriage roof.
"I want to rip the tongue out of the bastard who talked so much shit. Who was it?" Amanda said.
"Freytan, please stay with the other two. I just remembered something quite interesting."
Freytan glanced at the bastard lying on the ground for a few seconds, contemplating stepping on his head, but she ignored it and jumped onto the carriage.
"Now you guys, if anyone dares to run..." Dantalian activated his divine hand, covering his legs. He looked to the right, moved his leg to the right, and appeared in front of a fleeing adventurer. "You will be duly punished for obstruction." Dantalian covered the fugitive's head with his left hand, beginning to squeeze.
"Ahhh... Why are you doing this?"
"I already said once, obstruction... It's good to have a strong neck." Dantalian smiled, moving his left leg, bringing the unconscious fugitive with him. "What a surprise, the head stayed attached." Dantalian threw the unconscious body in front of the other adventurers.
"Now, I said it twice. Could you guys tell me why you're still here?"
"What are you talking about? How are we supposed to hear you when you speak softly and far away?" The adventurer who spoke was the leader of the extras, his hand on his throat as he began coughing between his words.
After he said that, silence reigned. Dantalian looked around and could only see everyone with their faces turned towards the ground.
"Alright, I'll speak in detail then, you deaf ones."
'Damn... What are these demons doing in such a small town?'
Dantalian crouched in front of the leader adventurer, flicking his forehead lightly without using force or golden energy, just enough to make him dizzy.
"Your leader prevented an adventurer of higher rank from continuing his journey, thereby rendering him unable to complete the mission given by the Duchess herself. In short, it was obstruction."
Freytan jumped, landing beside Dantalian, showing a sealed letter with the Duchess Marian's seal.
"In case you didn't believe him."
Upon hearing this, the fear they felt for this group of four people was completely overshadowed by the immense pressure associated with the name of Duchess Marian in the hands of these four individuals. At most, they would die, even if it might be in the most painful way. It would still be better than being judged by the royalty.
"No... No..."
They all started speaking similar words, pressing their heads to the ground and placing their arms on their backs, their eyes welling up with tears.
"Don't tell the Duchess, do whatever you want with me... But if you tell her, my family will be judged as well."
Dantalian looked at the leader of the adventurers, motionless and silent, with his head tilted back, pretending to be unconscious.
"Freytan, let's finish this quickly. Cut off this one's head while he's unconscious."
"Hmm... Are you sure? Killing someone in broad daylight?" Freytan replied.
"No need, I understand, okay? I won't do anything like this anymore. Please, don't do anything to me or to them."
Dantalian extended his hand with a smile.
Seeing this, the adventurer breathed a sigh of relief. 'Of course he wouldn't kill, even as a guild master, he can't carry out executions,' he thought, smiling and shaking Dantalian's hand.
"But what are you doing? Give me the three hundred coins, you son of a bitch!"
"Huh?"
All the adventurers who were anxiously looking at Dantalian had a confused expression, trying to understand what had just happened.
Fiona let out a short laugh, observing the scene from the top of the carriage.
"Amanda, is he always like this? Every day I spend with you, I see something new."
"No, he only did this now for fun, but I wouldn't doubt that if another opportunity arises, he wouldn't do the same thing again."
"So, he likes to act?" Fiona said, getting an idea.
