Chapter 19. Got Unreasonably Beaten Up

After we finished our preparations, Kodachi-san and I met up at the riverbank in front of the dungeon at the scheduled time.

While collecting equipment for the two of us at the storage place, we first headed for the armory.

The first thing we did was to sell the broadsword we had acquired yesterday.

“I think they buy the equipment at about half the price they sell it in the store. I thought the broadsword had a store-sale price of about 30,000 yen. So we can expect a good sale price.”

Kodachi-san tells me this on the way to the armory.

That is an attractive amount of additional income.

But it’s not all good things in this world.

The humiliation of that day will remain in my memory for a long time.

But it had nothing to do with the sale of weapons.

What happened was this.

It was when we arrived at the armory.

A man came out of the store.

He was probably in his late twenties.

Judging from the equipment he was wearing, he looked like a seeker.

He wears a chain hatchet, a shield strapped to his back, and a sword on his waist.

Kodachi-san looked at him and says, “Oh.” and turned her head down.

The man thought, looked at Kodachi, and grinned.

“Oh~? I’ve seen that face somewhere~. ─ ─ Ah, that’s right. You’re the one who said she started as a seeker about a week ago. I remember you because I went to the trouble of inviting you out with the best intentions, but she turned me down on my sleeve.”

“…… Thanks.”

Kodachi turns away, not looking at the man, and tries to walk past him into the armorer’s store.

But the man said, “Wait.”, and grabbed Kodachi’s arm to hold him back.

“Hey, ……,” he said.

“Hey, you. The other day, “I’m going to do it solo. I’m not going to form a party.” he said, rejecting my invitation as a senior seeker, right? I was trying to teach you how to be a seeker, and I was trying to be nice to you. And yet, what’s with that guy over there, ah?”

“Let go of me, please. ……!”

“What’s with that attitude? I’m just telling you that it’s not nice to lie. Isn’t that right? Who is the one who lied to the senior who approached him out of the kindness of his heart? Don’t you feel bad?”

“Well, that’s …… I changed my mind. Please let me go ……!”

Kodachi-san tried to pull the arm that grabbed her, but the man’s strength seemed too strong for him to do so.

I’m not sure of their background circumstances.

I was uncomfortable with the man in front of me.

That’s why I clung to the man without thinking.

“Um. I don’t know if you’re a senior seeker or what, but she doesn’t like it. If you want to talk. Why don’t you at least take your hands off her?”

“…… ah?”

The man’s attention turned to me.

The man pushes Kodachi-san away and walks, gunning for me.

“Oh, you don’t look familiar to me either. Are you a rookie?”

“So what? If you’re talking about human decency, I don’t think it matters whether you’re a rookie or a veteran.

“Damn, you don’t have the same attitude toward your seniors, do you?”

“Damn it, ……!”

The man suddenly grabbed me by the neck and lifted me with one hand.

He moved so fast I couldn’t react.

And it was with such force.

My feet left the ground, and I was flying through the air.

The man’s grip squeezes my neck, making it painful.

He didn’t intend to strangle me, and his strangling technique seemed to be aimed solely at making me suffer.

“Oh, gosh, ……! Damn ……, let go ……!”

“Musou-san, ……! Oh, no, please stop! What did Musou-san do to you!”

“Ah? Girl, you and he have no attitude toward seniors, so I guess you’re talking about training recruits.──Oops.”

I unintentionally kicked the man in the torso.

But it didn’t seem to have any effect.

I felt helpless, like a baby kicking an adult.

The man starts giggling.

“Hyahahahahaha! What’s that? Is that supposed to be an attack? How many levels are you?”

“Level 5, that’s ……! So what?. Let go of me ……!”

“Level 5, you fucking mook! And you’re going against me at level 25? You’re a fucking fish!

“Ah, ga… kaha…!”

The neck is squeezed even tighter.

I’m suffering to the extent that my life is not in danger.

Now I have a spear in my right hand.

Just when I was about to stab him with it.

“No, that’s enough! If you are going to continue any longer.!”

Kodachi-san pulled two daggers from the sheath at her waist and held them in both hands, threatening the man.

The man’s mouth hung open when he saw this.

“Hey, hey, a seeker pointing a weapon at a seeker? That is unforgivable. I’ll punish you severely and make you learn it in your body.”

The man tosses me away like a piece of trash.

My body flies through the air and rolls on the ground.

“Gah ……! Goho, goho……!”

What, what the hell is this guy ……!

When I somehow managed to get up, Kodachi-san was caught by the man again.

Kodachi-san’s hands that held the dagger were grabbed by the man’s hand. The man pushed Kodachi-san down.

I can’t believe that Kodachi-san was being held down as if he was twisting a baby’s hand.

“Damn ……! Stop it, ……!”

“Hee-hee-hee. A female seeker who points a weapon at people needs to be punished hard, don’t you think?”

The man sticks out his tongue and tries to crawl on Kodachi-san’s neck.

Ms. Kodachi struggles, and when she realizes she is no match for him, she squeezes her eyes shut.

I held my shield in front of me and was about to shield-tackle the man.

“Hey, Nitta. What are you doing in front of my store?”

A low, dusky voice came from the entrance of the armory.

Hearing the voice, the man who attacks Kodachi-san got startled and trembled.

“Oh, Ohsako-san! No, this is because these guys don’t have the right attitude, so I’m trying to educate them as a senior seeker.”

The man held Kodachi-san down and made excuses in a slurred manner.

The man who came out of the armorer’s store was that tough-looking old-skinhead clerk.

But instead of his usual friendly demeanor, he has a look of quiet anger on his face.

The man was completely intimidated by the old-skinhead clerk’s overwhelming presence.

The old-skinhead clerk glared at the man and spat.

“Shut up. Just let go of Kodachi-chan and get lost. I’ll kill you.”

“Hiii… hiii…!”

The man hurriedly released Kodachi-san and fled in a huff.

The old-skinhead old sighs and says, “Jeez.”

The old man turns around, puts on a kindly face, and calls out to Kodachi and me.

“Are you okay, you two? What happened?”

It seems we got saved for the moment.

I looked at Kodachi-san and breathed a sigh of relief.
