Fighting MTL with Literacy Since 2017
124. Luzerio’s “Trump Card”
Fran smashed me into Luzerio’s spear and caused a series of sparks to illuminate the underground space.
She was much more skilled than him, but had to hold back so we could keep him alive for information’s sake. Moreover, he had range on her, and was actually decently strong to begin with. He could match the average C ranked adventurer.
123. Luzerio
Shouts and screams erupted from the building’s exterior as presence detection went off and informed me of a series of enemies.
Shit. It looked like Bluke wasn’t the only one that’d transformed.
「Bluke! Bluke, answer me! Whatever is the matter, Bluke!」
122. Of Progress and Sudden Changes in Situation.
Rhodas had hesitated in coming to a decision, but immediately swapped to a series of quick, decisive actions the moment he did. That is, he managed to sortie his troops within the hour.
A part of his rapidity was due to the lack of a need to make any sort of major preparation. He didn’t bother delivering an address. He simply told the guards that they were taking Waint and Bluke into custody, and that was that.
121. The Lord’s Manor
The Lord’s Manor was smack in the middle of town, right where the commercial, residential and noble districts intersected. It was about a five minute trip with Urushi going at top speed.
「Comfortable sensation.」
120. Taking the Initiative
The second day was over, and so, Fran and I naturally had to begin preparing for the third. I really would’ve wanted everything go smoothly for once, but our processes were interrupted as we detected yet another group approaching the restaurant we were borrowing. This time, however, neither Fran nor I bothered to tense up or prepare ourselves for combat.
119. Side: Bluke
「What!? What in God’s name is going on!?」
Why won’t everything bend to my wishes!? Barbra is nothing short of a metropolis, and I, Bluke Krysten, am its Lord’s second son. By that logic, the very city should bend to my will!
118. The Second Day
Fran and I started getting everything ready for tomorrow after seeing Urushi on his way.
I was originally planning on saving the spicy kind so I could introduce it on the second day, but all the stress had gotten to me, and I accidentally ended up having them sold alongside our other two flavours. In other words, I’d have to introduce a brand new flavour in order to make sure everything went according to plan.
117. The First Day’s End
「So just to confirm, three milds and two mediums. Is that right?」
「I’d like four hots!」
「Okay, that’ll come to a total of thirty Golde.」
Series upon series of different transactions continued to occur. It was already three in the afternoon, but we were still completely swamped with customers. The line leading up to our store never seemed to drop below a headcount of a hundred, and we had to use the dimensional storage to replenish our stock twice already.
116. Kranzel’s Three Great Festivals
「To reiterate, the contest will begin at noon. All participants will be allowed to depart the guild at ten in the morning.

115. Visitors
The date was April first.
We were greeted by a group of visitors not long after we got up and to work.
「Good morning Miss Fran. I found a few people to fill that salesperson job you mentioned.」
