Back in Orario, a new rumor is going around. One of the missing adventurers of Seolo Forest returned alive to tell a wild story! On the Hostess of Fertility, a circle of people was intently listening to the adventurer's story when suddenly someone interrupted.
"Bullshit!"
"huh!? Believe it or not, it's real! I was in such a magical place!"
The adventurer told a story about how a mysterious concrete city that was surrounded by countless mysterious and dangerous monsters was deep inside Seolo Forest! He told the gatherers how iron carriages move without beasts. How there was an even bigger iron beast, the greatest of all was the "Giant Airship" that floated in the sky! He keeps telling wild tales around at the expense of the customers. How the menacing towering guards that are known as "Tallboys" move with their long metallic limbs as they patrol the street.
"Why would iron carriages move by just boiling water? That stupid, have you boiled water! It doesn't have that power at all!" A good knowledgeable blacksmith asked.
"I don't know you should ask them! Why don't you go there!" Angrily the storyteller replied
"No way! Your story about the monsters is too scary, Look, one of the maids even peed herself because of you! You should write a novel!"
"Dwarf! So you believe me!?"
"No way! It just sounds too magical. Plus, why would a city pop out out of nowhere in such a desolate place? And you said the people there have lived there since ancient times! That's impossible!"
The storyteller bit his lips, he knows there are holes in his story, but what he experienced was truly real! He was even lucky to survive to encounter one of the "hunters" and they treated him graciously, unlike the bastards here. They even gave him a gift! Wait! That's right, they gave him the iron firestick!
Quickly he rummaged through his bag and found it!
"Look! This is what they gave me! It's the proof!"
"The heck is that!?"
"Firesti-! No, it's called a "Revolver"
Everyone was mesmerized by the "revolver". And the storyteller began explaining what it was.
"It spits fire and iron! If I'm right, these "bullets" go into these holes."
"use it then!"
The man clumsily loads the gun at the behest of the watchers. He then aimed at an empty bottle not too far from him.
"Watch this!"
"Uh-huh! Do it!"
*Bang* A loud bang erupted inside
The storyteller then shot his gun, although he had never used this before, he at least knew how to use a crossbow, it's not too different. His aim was true, hitting the bottle and breaking it into pieces. What he didn't expect was the bullet ricocheting and hitting 2 other bottles.
"Woah!? In Kami's name, that's so cool!"
"Hahaha do it again!"
"That's amazing!"
The man starts rubbing his nose proudly at the rowdy crowd when suddenly a familiar tapping can be heard behind the counter, it is Mama Mia, clearly very angry.
"Wanna do it again?" An angry Mama Mia questioned,
"Eh....ehehe, maybe next time..." The man said weakly and sat down.
The crowd also returned to their seats in fright to calm down. But the storyteller wasn't done yet.
"So do you bastards believe me now!?"
"Hell no!" Everyone answered at the same time.
Everyone answered cheerfully and the Hostess became rowdy again. In the end, no one believes his magnificent adventure...
