Chapter 55: Chapter 54: Just How Stupid Can You Be?
Felt's eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with a plan, "What's this? So you two don't know each other? Then, this Natsuki Subaru guy was planning to trade his 'Meteor' for the insignia..."
She wanted to run away. After all, if these two didn't catch her now, they'd never be able to catch up to her, right?
Hearing her words, Emilia immediately turned a dangerous gaze toward Subaru.
This insignia was proof of the Dragon Priestess and a necessary item for the Royal Selection. It held great significance for her. If someone else took it, it would be a huge disadvantage for her!
Subaru immediately explained, "Ah! Don't misunderstand! I just wanted to return the insignia to this lady!"
"That explanation holds no weight. You were going to trade a 'Meteor' for it, and now you claim you wanted to return it to the owner you just met?" retorted the Old giant...
Emilia was still too naive. She was always willing to believe in kindness, so she turned a questioning gaze toward Subaru, "I don't recall ever meeting you. May I ask who you are...?"
"My name is Natsuki Subaru. As you can see, I'm a penniless bum! Right now... Puck, defend!"
Suddenly noticing a glimmer of light behind the girl, Subaru dramatically called out the name of the Great Spirit.
*Bang!*
"Whoa~! That was close! Thanks for the warning, buddy, but I don't recall ever meeting you~!"
A small white cat suddenly appeared and conjured an ice shield, blocking an attack aimed at Emilia from behind.
It was Puck, the Great Spirit contracted to Emilia!
"Ara~ ara~! So it's a spirit. I've never cut open a spirit's belly before. I'm kind of looking forward to it~"
As she spoke, a stunningly beautiful woman with an explosive figure, clad in a tight purple outfit and wielding two short blades, slowly emerged from the shadows.
"So it's you!" Subaru didn't have time to savor the joy of finally saving the silver-haired half-elf by warning her. Instead, he glared furiously at the beautiful woman.
"Hey, buddy, I don't know you~! But if you want to be the first one to have your belly sliced open, I can oblige~"
Subaru pointed at her angrily, his eyes fierce, making him look utterly terrifying, "Shut up! You bastard! Do you have any idea how painful it is to have your stomach cut open? I know it all too well, damn it!!!"
"Hehe~ Well, I don't recall ever cutting open your belly before, but there's no time like the present~
Remember, my name is Elsa~! Enjoy the warm touch of your intestines!"
Elsa, the Bowel Hunter, giggled and then vanished in a flash.
"What a psycho!" Subaru suddenly remembered that he was just a weakling, and he didn't know anyone here. He was so dead!
"Move!"
Seeing Subaru frozen in fear, the tall giant, Old Man Rom, pulled out a massive wooden club from somewhere, shoved Subaru aside, and swung the club at Elsa!
*Bang!*
The heavy club didn't hit its mark, instead smashing the front counter to pieces.
"This is my, Old Man Rom's turf! Are you trying to turn this place into a bloody slaughterhouse?"
Old Man Rom roared, continuing to swing his club at Elsa. But Elsa dodged with ease, even leaping onto the club at one point, flashing a seductive smile.
What would a giant's belly look like when cut open? She wanted to see!
"What the hell is going on?" Felt panicked, instinctively moving closer to Graham, "If I remember correctly, that woman is the one who hired me to steal the insignia! What's happening now?"
"Hehe~! Still don't get it, little girl? Your mission failed, so now I have to eliminate all witnesses~!" said the Bowel Hunter.
Elsa's figure blurred as she darted forward, her twin blades aimed at Old Man Rom's exposed belly!
Giants were strong, but they couldn't match Elsa's speed. Old Man Rom's massive body collapsed to the ground.
"Old Man Rom!"
Felt cried out, tears welling up in her eyes. The giant was like family to her, and seeing him fall filled her with grief.
"Don't go over there." Graham warned.
"Stop! Didn't you just want the insignia? Why are you killing people?" the Lolita cried out.
*Whoosh!*
Elsa didn't respond. Instead, she took the opportunity to slash at Felt, aiming for her belly of course.
The Bowel Hunter lived up to her name, she always went for the stomach first.
"Do you think I don't exist?" Graham's eyes flashed with a blue-purple light as he raised his dagger to block Elsa's attack, then slashed along a line only he could see.
*Boom—*
A loud explosion rang out. Elsa's expression changed as she leaped back, staring at the man who had just shattered her blade. She licked her lips seductively.
"How unexpected. You're quite strong, aren't you?"
Graham shrugged, his expression stoic as he stared at her, "Since you know I'm strong, then you wouldn't mind just leaving this place quietly, right? Honestly, fighting a delicate beauty like you makes it hard for me to go all out."
Subaru, however, was furious and began berating Graham, his face red with anger, "Hey! You're this strong? Then why didn't you step in earlier? Old Man Rom is down!"
"To criticize the strong at a time like this... you really have no sense of humility as a weakling. Such arrogance makes me want to slice open your belly even more and see what your intestines look like!" Elsa's eyes gleamed as she drew another short blade from her waist and vanished in a flash.
Subaru panicked, "Help! Hey Aniki, please save me!"
Graham couldn't help but face-palm, "Sigh... Just how stupid can you be?"
Still, he couldn't let this guy die at this moment. Having to reset over and over would be such a pain.
