Chapter 40 - Volume 3 (1/2)
“Is this really New Port City?”
The ie of New Port City Myurena had was one of violence, corruption and filth befitting its infamy, but what stood in front of her seemed no different from any other urban district in the E out in front of her was clean and furnished with artists andtheir skills to the bypassers People enjoyed oods in the streets as they attracted customers
Most of the pedestrians o behind the after their master
Myurena also wished to talk and eat with a handsome elf like the others, but could only look at others with envy since she had no clue as to where she was supposed to apply for the service After looking through some of the shops, Myurena decided to enter a restaurant to ease her aching legs and appease her growling stomach
Myurena finished her meal and washed it off with a cup of tea But she felt alone Everyone who sat around her were couples, radiating in happiness as they seemed to be in their own little world Myurena’s interest was quickly dropping She began to consider leaving New Port City after this tea, when suddenly a push on her shoulder
“Kyaa!”
Myurena let out a scream and quickly stood up to look behind her An elf could be seen standing behind her, his face showing a faint smile He took out a handkerchief froise It seeh, no it’s fine Be more careful next ti her to ry against an elf over such trivial thing wasn’t worth the time and decided to accept his kindness and wiped at her pants
“My naenic Family”
“Hahaha This must be my lucky day, to feast my eyes on such a beautiful wo her pants after listening to Miller’s words His voice was off-tone and aard She wasn’t sure what he was trying The elves were fa oddballs, and she has a hint of suspicion that he knocked her shoulder to o quickly There was no way he could attract anyone with that aard act
Myurena tried to give back the handkerchief after wiping off most of the tea, but Miller interrupted her with a wink
“Dear uess this is it for today I’ll see you later, pretty lady”
“Huh?”
Myurena stood dumbfounded by Miller’s words, and he quickly turned around toafter Miller with their harsh, coarse voices
“Found him! Over there!”
“Kyaa!”
“Uwaa!”
Aafter Miller ferociously Soon after, Miller was surrounded by theant moves as expected of an elf Civilians tried to run away from the scene as best they can while shops and tables were destroyed left and right as the fight continued on
What was strange was that the people around Myurena weren’t running away frohting match As if inspired by the cheers fros on their backs, kicked off the walls to stand on top of the building’s roof
“Get down here right now!”
While the thugs shouted out in outrage, Miller maintained his composure as he looked to Myurena When their eyesMeanwhile, Myurena was confused by everything that was happening She couldn’t understand the differing reactions she was seeing On one side were the merchants and shop owners who crawled on the floor, scared by the s, while around her stood pedestrians who see on?’
One of the thugs quickly approached Myurena as still confused at this sudden turn of events
“Oi! You! You ith him before!”
“Sorry?”
“What were you speaking with him? Are you with him?”
“What was that?!”
Myurena’s temper was a feisty one, one that wouldn’t lose to anyone else in a fight One glare fro attitude vanished It was instead replaced with urgency as he seemed unsure of what to do next, and Myurena fell deeper into confusion
Why did the thug falter after a single glare when he was the one who started to threaten her?
What was evenwas the conversation they had with each other
“C-captain, she’s a guest Caluest sends a coets the stick from the Lord’s Representative”
“That’s why I’ back now H-Hey, you! Ahe that ain Re with this threat His unnatural posture and aard tone didn’tface But even as he delivered this threat, his voice was trailing off and beca, he was slowing inching away from Myurena This didn’t seeh… What is all this?”
Myurena felt a wave of overwhel to New Port City She iht of the broken shops and the shopkeepers who cried inon What also infuriated her was how the wohed at the situation froiven a look of pity or charity to the this situation to the fullest
Myurena thought that even if she was going to leave now, she should ain She called out the waiter to pay for her an to walk toward the City Hall
As Myurena disappeared out of everyone’s view, the cries froan to quiet and then stop
“Is she gone?”
“I think so?”
“Shh! Keep going until we get the order!”
“Cut! End of Act 1! Hurry up andin Act 2 are to nated place!”
So the crowd, and everyone fros who caused the scene quickly cleaned up the mess they made, while the onlookers applauded and cheered the!”
“Hohoho The villains still seems aard but the shopkeepers seemed so realistic”
“Hehehe Thank you”
The women threw coins at thes showed their gratitude as they cleaned up thethe streets
“Man, I know this is an order but what are we doing?”
“Who cares? As long as it pays well”
“I just feel sorry that we get paid for so like this”
“Hehe Maybe we should become professionals”
Myurena entered the City Hall with the aie to see Isaac Instead, she was seen by one of the employees from the Civil Affairs Division Myurena had no idea as to why a graduate fro as just an employee of Civil Affairs, but she couldn’t unleash her teainst someone who could be her sister or brother-in-law’s acquaintance She politely and calave her complaint to the employee
The eised with a bow The act seelossed over the fact thinking that it must be aard for hi from the Ca her business, but Trentor gave away tickets to enjoy buffet and concerts perforers froed Myurena’s one to iven free meals, tickets to concerts, discounts and souvenirs It would be extre soht it was their desperation to keep the customers in which forced hiht in New Port City and booked a room run by Rivolden Merchant Guild The hotel replied that they have received word fro an entire floor, addingto on Myurena’s feelings of guilt
Baronesses were indeed higher-class citizens in the grand sches, but they were the lowest of the lohen considering the pyraenic Family was especially so with its short history and weak foundation It was a title that was received by her grandfather, as a rare case as so froh she lived a life of plenty, she never lived a life of luxury because of her family situation And for the first time, Myurena witnessed what a luxurious room truly meant
Myurena desperately tried to act cal that she couldn’t possibly make a fool of herself here and now But the e, Myurena looked to see if anyone was around before throwing herself onto the bed with a squeal
This rooh to convince Myurena that the trip orth it Even the room her sister stayed in for her honeymoon wasn’t at this level Myurena was impressed by the roo She couldn’t stop herself fro to all of her friends that she got to stay in this extravagant, astronomically expensive room
‘I bet they’ll be deathly jealous Ronette will have sleepless nights after hearing this’
Myurena chuckled to herself as she iined her friends’ reactions of envy She re deeper into its soft and co mattress Just when she was about to fall asleep, she heard a loud bang and the door to her rooroup of men rushed into the room
“Kyaa! W, what is this!”
Myurena screauests Six or so men wore their black hoods over their heads, and the woroup of people who barged into the room so confidently, they were oddly hesitant and looked to each other for a moment
“Oh, hohoho D, did you think you can trick us?”
“Huh?”
“I, if you hand over the goods, ill let you go I, I mean, we’ll let you live”
“What?”
Myurena was at a loss for words The, but she could clearly see that wo a line that hispered to her by the group ofbeside her
At that moment, theof her room shattered and Miller, who escaped before, entered the scene
“Kyaa!”
“What?”
There was an aard stare between Myurena and the woman The woman screamed even before Myurena could react to the noise
“…!”
Eht red face Only when the ed her on the side with a whisper did the woan to speak at Miller
“Blue Wind of New Port! I, I knew you’d come!”
“Eh?”
“Red Rose of New Port! I, I have already revealed all of your schemes!”
“Eh?”
“A-as expected of the Blue Wind! T-to see through our scheme! B-but if we destroy the evidence, I, it’ll be our victory!”
“Eh?”
Myurena’s head turned each tiue The scene held so little tension and the actors were so pitiful in their skills A play performed by the most amateurish of actors would have held an to think why she had to suffer through this, her tean to surface
“What is it that you ith me?!”
The outburst from Myurena made everyone in the room flinch in fear They all looked at her for a moment, and then turned back to each other
“I’ve already hid the evidence”
“T, that woman probably holds the evidence!”
“Hey! Are you listening to me?”
“Huk! How did you know?”
“Oh, ohoh! It’s a trivial matter with our information network!”
“Make haste and leave at thisyou with iven you no matter what”
“What is this bullshi+t?!”
