#76

My foot, raised high, headed toward the Angry Man’s private ‘area’.

Thwack!

It was truly an amazing hit rate.

“Oh, ohhh… Ugh. Ughhhhh…”

The pervert, who might now truly lose his gender identity, rolled around on the floor gasping and unable to breathe properly.

“Master, nice shot!”

“Zoe~ If you’re done, let’s order more meat! Kyu!”

Leon gave enthusiastic applause, saying it was very accurate aim. And beside him, Ruby was picking out only the meat from the meat stew as if wondering what had happened.

“No, miss, what on earth are you…”

“…I’m sorry for causing a disturbance. I’ll pay for all the tables here today.”

I had tasted quite a decent profit from running the shop.

Since I couldn’t handle the pervert quietly, I should repay them like this.

I bowed my head to the dumbfounded Store Owner.

Then the man who had been convulsing while cleaning the restaurant floor with his clothes spoke stammering.

“You, you… you know how im-important this is to a man…”

“Ah, it seemed useless to you anyway, so I was just going to remove it for you.”

I replied gracefully and fixed my gaze on the man’s area again.

“Hiii, hiiiik!”

Then the frightened pervert grabbed his pants and burst out of the shop door running.

Once the pervert disappeared, the noisy shop instantly regained its peace.

“10 more meat skewers here.”

“Little tiger, will that be enough?! Kyuu! How stupid!”

“…You two please stop eating already.”

Our table already had plates stacked like a mountain. I quietly checked the number of gold coins in my pocket.

At this rate, I’ll spend all our travel money on their food expenses…

“Um… Thank you for saving me.”

The woman who approached hesitantly was the woman the pervert had been bothering.

She bowed her head gratefully.

“Oh, not at all. What should we do since I couldn’t get an apology from that pervert… I mean, that man? Should I drag him back here even now…”

“It’s fine. It was satisfying enough.”

She smiled gently while covering her mouth with her sleeve.

I stared intently at the woman’s face.

Common brown hair and brown eyes that were typical here.

Small build and petite height.

The woman had a very ordinary impression with no particular distinguishing features. If I had to pick a feature, it would be the mole at the corner of her mouth?

“By any chance…”

“Ah, it’s Noel. My name.”

Perhaps noticing me hesitating about what to call her, she told me her name.

“I’m Zoe Bl… no, just Zoe.”

I didn’t want to make everyone uncomfortable by acting like a noble. Being called ‘miss’ also felt awkward…

When I gave my name, for a moment there was a flicker in Noel’s eyes.

“…Zoe. Zoe means ‘life’ in ancient language.”

“Ah… is, is that so? I don’t know ancient language well.”

“It’s a very wonderful name.”

Noel said that while smiling gently.

“Thank you. Noel is also a wonderful name. Ah, if it’s alright with you, would you like to sit here with us? You can refuse if it’s burdensome.”

A moment ago, the table where Noel had been sitting became a mess when the pervert fell disgracefully.

Since I was 20% responsible for her table becoming a mess, I carefully suggested sharing the table.

“Ah, then… may I intrude?”

“Of course! Please sit down.”

Noel smiled brightly and sat in the chair.

“Are you traveling to Elderin, Miss Noel?”

“Oh my, how did you know I’m from outside?”

She looked at me curiously, as if it was amazing that I immediately recognized she was an outsider.

Well… I just had a feeling…

The way she held her utensils, her gait, and her manner of speaking.

Noel had an ordinary appearance you could find anywhere, but somehow all her actions exuded elegance.

Like… seeing Ruan, the Grand Duke’s son of the Northern Region…

Seeing the precise etiquette she naturally performed as if familiar with it, anyone would think so.

“I, I just had a feeling.”

“Ah, I’m an ordinary mage. I travel around collecting rare herbs and materials.”

When our eyes met as she explained about herself, Noel smiled brightly at me.

Uh, somehow… that smile isn’t unfamiliar.

She had a strange atmosphere that caught people’s attention.

But an ordinary mage…?

Someone like this couldn’t be such an ordinary minor character…

Perhaps she too, like the Crown Prince, was hiding her identity with magic.

I answered her with suspicious eyes.

“Aha, an ordinary mage… I see.”

“Yes, an ordinary mage you can find anywhere.”

People who call themselves ordinary are never ordinary…

I awkwardly raised the corners of my mouth while looking at her flower-like smile.

“Shit, those bastards think people are dog shit… ha, it hurts like hell.”

Austin headed home with a limping gait, legs spread apart while firmly gripping his pants.

Being hit so precisely made every step painful.

Austin’s jaw trembled with anger thinking of the woman who did this to him.

“Shit! No matter how I think about it, it’s fucking ridiculous. Why is a woman so strong?!”

He had already failed the knight promotion and just wanted to drink heavily, but he got unlucky with some woman with strange strength and almost lost his male pride.

“Just wait until I meet you next time… Shit.”

Austin angrily kicked a stone rolling on the roadside.

Thwack!

“Kiiing!”

Then a strange sound came from where the stone flew.

Austin turned his gaze toward where the sound came from.

“What… it’s just a flower?”

There was a gorgeous and beautiful flower.

Austin, who had been staring blankly at that huge flower, was startled and widened his eyes.

“What… what? There was definitely a flower just now… why is there…”

Austin rubbed his eyes as if he couldn’t believe it.

Because where there had definitely been a flower just moments ago, a beautiful woman was now sitting.

That seductive naked woman smiled at the confused Austin.

Then she stretched out both arms toward Austin as if asking him to embrace her.

Austin walked toward that woman as if drawn by her gesture.

“Hehe… it’s dangerous to be in such a place… Uh, uaaaah!”

It was the moment Austin reached out his hand to that woman.

Suddenly the flower that had originally been there opened its black mouth wide and swallowed Austin in an instant.

Gulp.

After absorbing human nutrients, the red bud of ‘Pelora’, a parasitic monster, bloomed beautifully.

Ptui!

The Pelora with bloomed flower buds spat out the Austin it had swallowed once again.

Then Austin, sprawled on the ground, shakily got up from his spot.

His appearance was certainly the same as before, but somehow his condition was strange.

His pupils were empty as if his soul had left, and he couldn’t control his body properly.

It was like the movements of a newborn child.

“More… nutrients… needed…”

Austin, who had been writhing as if trying to adapt to his new body, soon straightened his spine.

Then he headed toward the village center with staggering steps.

* * *

“There was definitely no one but me in that house, but I could hear sounds! So I was completely terrified, but it turned out the source of that sound was this little cutie!”

“Oh my, Zoe was chosen by Ruby! I’m so envious… I want to meet Panda. Every time I see that deadly cute bottom, my heart aches from how adorable it is!”

Noel and I had been enthusiastically chatting away for a while now.

“Ah, there’s actually someone who understands Panda’s charm! I feel like I’ve met my soulmate right now!”

“Hehe, exactly. Actually, Panda is a rare animal to see in this place… You might be able to see one if you go to the Beastman Kingdom.”

Noel told me about her real-life Panda experience from when she went to the Beastman Kingdom to collect medicinal herbs.

My goodness, Noel is an animal enthusiast just like me…!

Having met my soulmate in this place, I had somehow become best friends with her.

Naturally, my wariness toward her had completely crumbled as well.

There’s no such thing as a bad person who likes animals!

Just then, Leon, who had been listening to our passionate animal talk, looked back and forth between us and said.

“Hmm… Master and Noel, you two seem a bit alike somehow.”
