Long-standing feud with Hassan
145 ? Long-standing feud with Hassan #3
“Puhhahahahaha-!”
Fairy. Elfriede laughed loudly.
It can seem like quite a hearty man to open your mouth and burst into laughter without even caring about how your face looks.
However, this laughter did not seem to fit with the atmosphere that had been frozen for a moment by the sound of teacups being thumped.
So people just blink their eyes blankly, wondering what on earth is going on.
Some people might look back and see if there were any funny parts in the conversation that just happened.
Elfriede, who had been laughing like that for a long time, finally wiped away the tears flowing from her red eyes with her fingers.
“Oh, sorry. I laughed too hard. I don’t know how many months it’s been since I laughed like this.”
It didn’t seem like a very thoughtful action, but it looked quite elegant because it had the charm characteristic of Alfheim’s fairies.
I feel like I understand a little why so many adventurers volunteer to be Elfriede’s workers.
Of course, right now I have no intention of going back to being her worker or slave.
Elfriede said, her smile slightly suppressed.
“Hassan? Was that the guy? I thought he was different from the Samaritan I knew.”
“Oh, our adventurer from outside, Nari, do you know about Mr. Samaritan?”
At the innkeeper’s question, Elfriede’s red eyes quickly scanned the inn. For a moment, I felt as if my eyes would meet mine, so I hurriedly lowered my head.
What the hell is going on here?
I want to leave this place right away. Or hide in a mouse hole.
“Hassan of Samaria. Do you know about him? Yeah, well, no one knows him better than I do. He’s not really that savage. He can handle a fork and knife.”
Buzz buzz buzz.
“Isn’t that barbaric?”
“Savages aren’t savages. Isn’t that the same as saying that fish don’t live in water?”
“That’s a lie. I saw you eating meat with your bare hands last time. With a fork and knife? That’s not savagery!”
The words that came out of Elfriede’s mouth shook the inn. Perhaps enjoying the reaction, Elfriede opened her red eyes narrowly and continued to speak a few more words.
“I don’t know if he’s a murderer who killed another person, but he’s definitely a brutal criminal. Does everyone know that he came from the Deathros Arena?”
“… You mean the Deslos Arena?”
The innkeeper trembled as if he had heard an amazing story.
“Deathros Arena…?”
“Is that true? If that’s true… I can see why you fight so well.”
“If he is from Delos, then the rumor that he is a disciple of Queiroz is just a rumor. The two places have completely opposite tendencies.”
Buzz buzz buzz.
The atmosphere that had been frozen until just a moment ago is now lively as if lukewarm water had been sprinkled on it. This is because each person has thrown out a word to show off what they know.
Luna, who was sitting in front of me, spoke to me in a quiet voice and asked me a question.
“Hassan, what is the Arena of Deathros…?”
Sval.
I never thought that name would come out of Luna’s mouth. My heart feels cold and it feels like someone is touching it with cold hands.
The only fortunate thing is that Luna doesn’t seem to be trying to interrogate me, and seems to be asking because she really doesn’t know.
It’s not that I really tried to hide it, but I don’t want to go around bragging about it, so I don’t talk about my past.
I wasn’t Elfriede’s slave from the beginning when I came to this world.
The first ones to find me were the ruthless human hunters called Deslos.
They forced me into their arena and used me like an angry monkey. To be honest, I don’t really want to remember that time. There was nothing good about it.
There really wasn’t anything good about it.
“Elf Lady, when you say Deathros, are you referring to that Deathros?”
“Yeah, there’s no place in the world that’s as horrible as that. Hassan, that guy’s from there. And he set it on fire too-.”
“Joe, be quiet! Alien species!”
As Elfriede continued speaking, someone inside the inn shouted. Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but turn to the corner at the sudden intrusion.
There is a girl there, wearing an ashen robe. She looks to be about sixteen years old.
She had shiny crimson bob hair that was enough to create an angel’s ring on her head.
A pure white face and short, pointed ears.
She’s a nymph.
Converted Nymph Paranoi.
Paranoy stands in a corner of the inn, shivering.
“Hassan, it looks like Paranoy got here first!”
“Uh, uh, yeah.”
I don’t understand why Paranoy suddenly appeared.
Swish.
“under-.”
Elfriede’s eyebrows furrow at the sight of the little nymph.
“Did I mishear that? Kid, what did you just say?”
“T, if you try to frame Hassan any further, I will not forgive you…! Hassan is a barbarian among barbarians who doesn’t even know how to use a fork…!”
“What? Hassan? Oh, really. It’s a strange city. All kinds of weird guys are popping out. Is it because the air is bad?”
Knock knock.
Elfriede pushed the chair away and got up from her seat. Then she stood proudly in front of Paranoy, who had been picking on her, and looked down at him.
A physique that differs by only one head.
An elf who is like the goddess of youth.
A tiny nymph of the ditch water.
If they are similar, they are similar, and if they are different, they are different. Two species are now clashing for dominance over the continent.
Elfriede said.
“What are you? Are you by any chance… No, it’s not important what you are. What’s your relationship with that guy named Hassan?”
“That, that can’t be said hhhhhhh-.”
Paranoy’s words trailed off. The reason was that the vicious and wicked Elfriede had grabbed Paranoy’s cheek and pulled it up.
How could she be so violent to a child who was much smaller than her? As expected, Elfriede was a bad, spoiled woman.
“It hurts… Let go, let go…”
“They say that staffs made from the bones of nymphs increase the output of magical power.”
“Hee, heeeek! T, that’s a nymph-hating remark…!”
The nymph was terrified. The guy started screaming and running wild. However, the guy was caught by Elfriede and was eventually caught and lifted up without being able to do anything.
Elfriede grabbed the boy’s cheek and stroked his ear.
“Hee, hee-ee, huehueek!”
“Wow, this is my first time seeing a nymph. She seems cuter than I thought. Should I take her and raise her? I have a leash left over.”
If things continue like this, Paranoy may separate into Para/Noy and turn into a stick.
“Ha, Hassan Paranoy is going to get hurt! We need help!”
Luna knocked on the table and spoke to me. But, honestly, I was scared.
The fear of the person who enslaved me for two years does not get better even after going through a lot for about a month.
No one here knows better than I how strong Elfriede is.
Someone like me would be burned to a crisp if she opened her mouth even once. To deal with her, wouldn’t you need to bring someone like Hippolyta?
I feel sorry for Paranoy, but let’s hope that nothing happens. That’s what I was thinking at the time.
“Hehe, pa, my arm’s going to come off aaaaah…! Th, stop it…! Ph, flu, ah, no, ha, Hassan, help me…! Heheuuuut!”
“What? Hey, why are you acting so joking? You didn’t pull hard enough. I, I feel embarrassed because I feel like a bad person.”
“Huhhh!”
A nymph screaming as if she was going to faint, and an elf pulling at the nymph’s arms, ears, fingers, etc. And something quickly jumped out between them.
“Stop it! I already reserved Paranoy first! Follow the order!”
It was Luna.
Luna jumped out in front of Elfriede.
Oh my gosh, what I was most worried about is happening. I even wrapped a funny cloth around my head to prevent this from happening.
This place is hell. But what is the point of having things on the list and keeping order?
The amount of information rushing into my head was too much to handle, so I decided to stop thinking.
“What a strange tavern. Guys keep popping out from somewhere to start a fight. Do they not know how strong I am?”
After saying that, Elfriede turned around and looked at her colleagues.
“I feel a little bit bad about that. Delphina, did you really promote us properly?”
“That’s true. There are fools everywhere. Elphie, isn’t this fun in its own way?”
“Okay, I’ll let you go. Now, go. Nymphs are rare, I told you. You don’t want to get caught by a bad guy.”
Elfriede dropped Paranoy on the floor with a thud. Paranoy then shouted, “Go, thank you…!” and hid behind Luna.
But it didn’t seem like hiding behind the world’s weakest-looking breakwater would make things any better.
“What about you? Do you happen to know that guy Hassan?”
Sigh.
Elfriede scans Luna from head to toe with her red eyes.
“Bronze…? That looks interesting. What kind of bone is that on your head? Are you trying to hide your face? Are you not confident about your looks?”
Elfriede’s expression was extremely relaxed. It was full of the arrogance typical of a high-ranking adventurer who didn’t even consider Luna as his rival.
However, Luna, who had subdued Hippolyte and grown through many experiences, seemed to have lost her fear and shouted loudly.
“I, I am Luna, the daughter of the great night! This is not to hide your face, it is a veil, you idiot!”
“What? Luna?”
That’s it.
Elfriede’s expression suddenly distorted. I knew full well that it was the expression of someone who was truly, truly angry.
In such cases, Elfriede’s ultimate skill – beating the enemy with a whip – usually comes out.
Hearing Luna’s name made him angry. Why on earth? I couldn’t understand. Then, his expression slowly relaxed again.
“You look good together. You look good together. You’re that Luna. I think you look great with Hassan.”
“… Oh, really? Thank you. You’re pretty too. Your hair is so wavy. While we’re on the subject, can I have just one strand?”
Luna was twisting her body, her skull rattling. She probably wasn’t used to the sudden compliment. However, Elfriede raised her voice as if she had heard something Luna shouldn’t have said.
“Don’t thank me, you loner. That’s not a compliment. You loners get along well together!”
Ssuk.
Elfriede, clearly very angry, pulled out a small black leather tool from her waistband, resembling a flyswatter. It was a whip.
A whip that beats people and turns them into slaves. Are you really going to beat them with a whip?
I, Hassan, could have been hit by that as many times as I wanted, but Luna couldn’t have been hit by that. So I ran towards them with my trembling legs and unmoving body.
“Ha, do you have another colleague? A surprise attack?”
Elfriede braced herself, perhaps thinking she was being attacked.
But I didn’t care about that guy and went in front of Luna and hid Paranoy and Luna behind my back. It’s a good thing my back is wide, damn it.
“you-.”
Elfriede narrows her eyes at me like that. She’s worked with me for two years, so she probably knows it’s me just by looking at my physique.
So I decided that I no longer needed to cover my face with a cloth, so I revealed my face. Then, the people who had been silently watching this chaos said a few words.
“There was a Samaritan.”
“You’re from the Deathros Arena-.”
“What’s going to happen now?”
“I don’t know, let’s just watch quietly. Boss, please give me some more beer.”
In the midst of the commotion and commotion, as if everything was shaking and shaking to and fro, Elfriede’s red eyes stared at me.
This is a bad fate.
It was such a bad relationship that it was an understatement to even call it a bad relationship.
“Are you the famous Hassan of Samaria?”
Elfriede asked. It was as if she was meeting me for the first time. But, as she said, is there anyone in this world who knows me better than she does?
She knows that I am not strong, that I am timid and scared.
So, I think you know that even though I stand proudly in front of you like this, my heart is very small.
“I guess you’re doing well these days? You’re even taking little girls with you. Of course, they don’t look as pretty as me.”
Did Elfriede originally feel this way about her own beauty? No, I don’t think she was that kind of person.
Perhaps it was because of her mood, but today Elfriede seemed strangely confident about her appearance.
It’s been a while since I broke up with that cantankerous guy, so it wouldn’t be strange if I developed some strange quirks or habits during that time.
Still, I have to say what I have to say.
“…Lu, Luna is prettier than you!”
“… That can’t be true. Don’t lie.”
“I’m not lying. Luna is kinder than you.”
“… Don’t lie!”
“Ha, Hassan-. There are a lot of people-.”
Kwuk.
Luna grabbed my back as if she was embarrassed to have her appearance praised in front of people. Elfriede’s eyes frowned even more at that.
But now that I’m standing in front of Luna like this, I can’t think of a good way to overcome this situation. Isn’t there a better way?
The nymph Paranoy, who was hiding at the very back, shouted, whether she knew it or not.
“I believed in you, Hassan! You were the one who punished that evil alien!”
“…You want me to scold you?”
“Hassan is a Samaritan who came back from hell! A chosen warrior! A man like that who can defeat him in one blow…!”
And he doesn’t forget to shout at Elfriede.
“Ah, Elf…! Get out of our continent…! Here, this has been the land of our nymphs since ancient times…!”
How dare you talk nonsense. Elfriede’s expression is getting more and more distorted.
I felt like my eyes were going dark. Elfriede opened her mouth to me.
“Hassan, it must be nice to be popular. But I don’t have enough free time to deal with you guys. And we’re not on the same level.”
Elfriede has a high sense of pride like an expensive cat.
Le Pacher usually doesn’t respond to even the slightest provocation. I guess that hasn’t changed yet.
Thanks to you, I survived. I said with relief in my heart.
“Then how about we part ways here on good terms? We won’t have to see each other again.”
“But for some reason, I just feel bad. So, just attack them all at once. I’ll deal with it.”
The fairy’s red eyes sparkled like flames.
