Legend

Chapter 388

Rei and Elena both took a step away from the entrance of the eatery they wanted to enter, seemingly oblivious of the man who had been sent flying out.

Rei stepped to the left and Elena to the right as the man passed between the two of them, bouncing several times along the road before falling to the ground.

Glancing over, Rei saw the fallen man, about 180cm tall and wearing brown plate armour with his sheathed sword falling close by. It seemed his sword had come loose from his waist due to the impact of his fall.

「……Would you look at that, it never gets boring around Rei.」

「Well, well, it never gets boring around Elena.」

The two of them spoke at the same time before looking dissatisfied at what the other had said.

「The troublesome stuff usually has to do with you Rei, right? You always get pulled into things like that.」

「You say that, but don’t you draw as much trouble as I do?」

「That’s……」

While arguing over their minor disagreement……the two of them went to enter the eatery.

「Gururu~」

「Kyi!」

Both Set and Yellow looked at them with expressions of surprise at Rei and Elena’s similar responses.

「-!」

As he was about to open the door to the eatery, Rei sensed something flying towards them again and caught the trouble heading his way……

「Eh? O-Oh. Than-……」

「You’re in the way.」

Catching the object……or rather, person, Rei ignored the person as he tossed them onto the ground.

「-!? ……That hurts!」

「Is something wrong?」

The man, who landed on the tail of his spine, tried to complain to Rei, but he was unable to say any more words after seeing Rei’s gaze.

It wasn’t just how Rei looked at him, but also because Rei had caught him with one hand. With just that, the man realised how much strength Rei had.

「……N-No. It’s nothing.」

「Is that so? That’s good to hear. I did catch you, so I had been expecting thanks. Well, that’s fine.」

Rei and Elena entered the eatery, leaving the man there as he was.

Elena seemed slightly apologetic to the man sitting on the ground, but she followed after Rei without saying anything.

The first thing that came into Rei’s eyes after entering was a clear brawl.

However, different from what he had expected, the attacker was a lone woman while the other side had five men. Even so, it was clear at a glance that the woman held the advantage as the brawl played out in front of Rei and Elena.

Three men were already lying on the floor. The remaining two men were holding a spear and sword as they tried to pin the woman down.

The issue was the woman. She was dressed like a bar dancer with clothes so transparent the others could see through everything except her rich bulges and her lower body. Contrary to her costume, which seemed to invite men, she had five 50cm long claws equipped on both her hands as well as a blade coming out the back of the heel of her shoes.

She had the clothes and body of a dancer but was equipped with weapons that would be expected of a warrior, giving off a sense of incongruity. She signalled with her fingers provocatively while giving an inviting smile.

「What’s the matter? Didn’t you want me to dance with you? I can’t believed you’ve become so useless just with something like this……you would probably be just as bad in bed. ……Maybe you should learn a thing or two from the person who just walked in.」

The woman gave a seductive smile as she looked over at Rei and Elena, who had just walked in.

The woman’s smile was different from Elena’s dignified smile, it was seductive and……euphoric, as if drunk on blood.

You are a match for me, aren’t you? Rei became distracted as the woman spoke as such.

One reason for Rei’s distraction was, of course, the woman’s beautiful appearance, which was as good as Elena’s looks, and her outfit, which showed off her seductive body. However, the biggest reason that Rei became distracted was due to the bloodthirsty woman’s expression of incomparable beauty, lustre and cruelty. It was as if she were a goddess of death.

「We’re not going to let you get away with this, bitch!」

The moment the woman’s gaze intersected with Rei’s as they recognised each other’s presence, the two men attacked from the front and back with sword and spear, as if to take advantage of the woman’s momentary lapse in guard.

However, the woman kept her eyes on Rei with a glossy smile as she moved her body without even looking at her attackers.

The sword that was swung at her was split in two by the claw on her right hand. At the same time, she swung her body around to avoid the spear thrust that came from her back before using her momentum to break the jaw of the man with the spear.

At that moment, the man with the spear ended up spitting out blood, adding a crimson hue to the woman’s white and sensual thighs.

Landing on the floor after her roundhouse kick, she crouched down, causing her twin hills to jiggle, further collecting the gazes of the surrounding customers with her chilling sensuality.

……No, considering her actions had mostly been directed towards Rei as she crouched down, what she did was probably a service aimed towards Rei and not the other customers.

The moment the woman crouched down, a man’s fist went through the space her head had been a moment ago.

It was the last man who’s sword had been destroyed by the woman’s claws.

「Ah, what a shame. If you wanted to have a passionate time with me, you should have at least used a bit more strength before going down.」

Saying that, she jumped up. As she moved up, the base of her palm grazed the tip of the man’s jaw, causing a concussion and knocking him out on the spot.

Then after floating close to 2m into the air, she landed with the graceful movements of a cat. She then gave a bow to her surroundings.

『WOAAAAAAAAAAAH-!』

At that moment, the customers in the eatery exploded into applause, as if they had been watching a performance or something similar.

「The weapons on her hands and feet and probably magic weapons.」

「……Yeah.」

Elean agreed with the words Rei spoke after a moment’s delay.

Rei glanced over in confusion before realising that Elena had an annoyed expression as she looked towards the woman with mysterious weapons who seemed to be both a dancer and warrior.

「Elena? What’s wrong?」

「No, it’s nothing.」

「If you say it’s nothing, then that’s fine……so, what do you want to do? I had been thinking of eating something here. ……Huh.」

In the middles of his words, Rei gave a quiet exclamation as he watched the woman lift up the man on the ground with one hand, as if she were carrying a piece of light baggage, and carry him to a corner of the eatery.

The man hadn’t been wearing any armour, but he had still been well built as an adventurer. The man might not have weighed 100kg, but he must have been close to that. The woman, who easily lifted up such a man with one hand, clearly wasn’t what she looked like.

Furthermore, the claws that had extended out from her hand earlier had all disappeared. The blade that extended from the heel of his foot had also disappeared.

(I see. It seems her magic weapons have the ability to extend and retract. ……If it’s just that, then that’s not really too rare.)

Rei thought about that as he watched the woman literally pile up the men in a corner of the eatery.

The fight had ended in several seconds, but the woman’s dexterity was very high up among all the people Rei had ever seen……rather, she was one of the best he had seen.

「Hey, you. ……No, you two.」

The woman stopped as she stared and spoke towards Rei and Elena.

This was the first time Rei had seen the woman from the front.

She had reddish purple hair that extended to the middle of her back. Her hair had a wavy style near the tips.

Her eyes, which Rei was only seeing clearly for the first time, were golden. Opinions on her appearance might vary between people, but to Rei, the woman was arguably one of the most beautiful he had seen. As for her height, she was a head taller than Rei, probably close to 180cm. She seemed to be in her early twenties, a little older than Elena.

Next to Rei was Elena, who had a dignified sort of beauty. Marina, the Dark Elf guild master of Gilm, had a mature sexiness to her. Those two were two of the most beautiful people Rei had ever seen, but the woman before them was definitely a match for the two.

Unlike Elena or Marina, the woman’s beauty could be best described as aggressive. Aside from the weapons on her hands and feet, she only wore several layers of translucent cloth like a dancer. Her white thighs, belly and shoulders were all exposed in a sensual way, as if to lure in men. Her ample breasts and groin were neatly covered, but even so, her appearance and clothes did not look like they belonged to someone who could fight the way she just did.

If Rei hadn’t seen her fight, he might have thought of her as just a bar dancer or a prostitute. The woman was just dressed that sensually.

Rei couldn’t help but be attracted by the strong feminine presence that had suddenly appeared in front of him. It was a natural reaction for a male his age, but whether Elena, who was standing next to him, would tolerated it or not was a different matter.

「Ouch-!」

Elena, wearing her Shoes of Sleipnir, stepped on Rei’s foot, who was also wearing his Shoes of Sleipnir.

Rei gave a cry at Elena’s sudden action. However, Elena didn’t seem to care as she stepped forward and looked at the woman before speaking.

「What do you want from us?」

「Yes. You guys……are strong right? You definitely are. Unlike those guys lying over there who are probably useless at night.」

Glancing over at the men piled up in the corner of the eatery, she waited for Rei and Elena’s reply.

「Even if you say we are strong……I can only say I’m reasonably confident.」

「What about you? You are strong, right?」

The woman ignored Elena’s response as she asked Rei.

「Well, let’s just say I’m confident in my own strength as well.」

「I see. Then, why don’t we fight right away?」

『……Hah?』

Rei and Elena both responded the same way at the same time.

However, the woman didn’t seem to care as she turned to look at Elena.

「The weapon on your waist is quite good isn’t it? I can tell that it’s a powerful magic weapon just by looking at it. I know you’re pretty strong as well, but you don’t seem to have any weapons with you. Do you use your bare hands? Maybe you are a close combat warrior like me?」

「Wait a moment. We came to this eatery to eat, not to fight. And, since we only just came back from the dungeon, we’d also rather not fight.」

The woman appeared disappointed at Elena’s words.

Just seeing the woman’s expression at her reply made Elena feel guilty for some reason.

「Then, what about you? Why don’t you fight me for a bit?」

The woman’s interest shifted away from Elena and towards Rei.

(Seriously, I never thought I’d be able to meet two such……exquisite prey in an eatery. I can’t miss out on this.)

The woman’s thoughts seemed to have appeared on her expression. For a moment, there was undoubtedly a crazy glint in her eyes, like that of a bloodthirsty beast.

Seeing the woman look at him like prey, Rei didn’t hesitate to reach inside his Dragon Robe for the Mithril Knife at his waist.

Originally, he had wanted to take out the Death Scythe, but that would have been had to swing around in such a tight space like an eatery, which was why he chose the knife.

However, before he could do anything, Elena stepped in again.

「As I said before, we came to this eatery to eat, not to fight.」

「Isn’t that just what you said though? That doesn’t seem to be the case with the boy?」

The woman glanced over at Rei provocatively.

At the woman’s words, Rei replied with an equally provocative smile.

「In the first place, even if I fought with you, I have nothing to gain. In that case, I’d rather just eat.」

Rei said that as he held onto the Mithril Knife under his Dragon Robe. However, the woman’s response was completely unexpected.

「Nothing to gain, huh. In that case……how about we do this? If you beat me, I’ll spend a night with you. What do you think? I’m pretty confident in my body you know? In fact it was because of this that those useless bastards caused all this trouble after making a pass at me.」

At her words, the customers who were listening in to their conversation all gulped.

The woman’s physical appearance was close to that of a first class prostitute……no, even a first class prostitute wouldn’t be a match for her. That was why it was safe to say that there were dozens or even hundreds of men who would have been willing to party with all their fortunes to spend a night with a woman like her.

「Besides, I might cause a lot of misunderstandings dressed like this, but I don’t know any men who would pass up on this. ……How about it? If you can beat me, you can taste my body. That should be attractive enough for you.」

She didn’t know any men who would pass up her offer. The woman made a provoking gesture as she said that.

In response Rei was about to speak when……

「Huh, so you’re the rumoured Mad Beast. In that case, let me fight you before that brat. I have to avenge my younger brothers……right?」

Such a voice echoed into the eatery.
