Chapter 40 - - Alhart and... (1/2)

A few seconds after Famiras left, the sounds of battle could be heard from the outside.

A man approaches Alhart who continues to eat despite the chaotic scene inside the shop.

“Hey, hey, your friend is fighting, but you’re just eating as if nothing happened? That’s pretty cold, man.”

“……”

Alhart turns and smiles broadly at the man occupying the seat Famiras sat on earlier. However, the attention is short-lived as Alhart loses interest and resumes his meal.

“So you’re just going to ignore me……”

The man let out a tsk at Alhart’s behavior, but sneered at the next moment.

“Hey, I’ll tell you something good.”

“If that’s the case, then, I have something good to tell you, too.”

“Ah?”

“Between the two, if you’re planning to bring down the woman, then, I suggest you send in a hundred men.”

“Hah?”

“If you don’t, then, your friends will be killed without fail.”

“Hah!! What’s up with that? Did you completely lose it when you found out that your friends were in a pinch? If it takes a hundred men to beat a single woman, then, she must be a monster.”

“Yeah. She is a monster.”

Alhart grinned.

“……”

“Right, right, it’s been bothering me, but…”
