Chapitre 27: Chapter 27: Twisted Humor
Peroroncino looked at Nana and began considering what kind of class to change her into.
"Given her small size... a ninja should work quite well."
"Change class to Ninja, level 40, all attributes maxed."
Peroroncino took out the Staff of Administrator Privileges and released a light wave towards Nana. Her body was enveloped by the light, and as the transformation began, Nana fell unconscious.
Not long after, the modification was complete.
Nana's appearance hadn't changed, but her eyes now looked much sharper.
"Nana, do you feel any changes in your body?"
"I feel like I'm floating. I can run so fast with just a little push. It feels like I have endless energy."
"Starting today, you are a member of my adventuring team."
Peroroncino transformed into an humanoid form and transported the two of them to E-Rantel.
"Our goal today is to keep leveling up and try to reach max level as soon as possible."
"I envy Momoga. He can use Warrior Magic. As for me, my Archer class limits me to using bows. I can't use any other weapons."
"Peroroncino-sama, don't worry. I will do my best to level you up," Yulia spoke from the side.
The three of them arrived at the outskirts of E-Rantel, where ogres and goblins were often found.
Peroroncino leisurely took a chair out of his storage space and sat down. Yulia went off to hunt goblins and ogres, severing their limbs but leaving them alive to bring them before Peroroncino for the kill.
Nana stayed behind for security, watching out for any potential ambushes.
This scene caught the attention of a few adventurers passing by.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Letting such a beautiful woman fight while you sit there and benefit. Aren't you a man?"
"Are you talking to me?"
Peroroncino didn't even glance at them, absentmindedly responding.
"Who else would it be? This lady is too good for you. Come join our team. We'll give you 80% of the loot."
"Yeah, join us. Following this guy has no future."
Peroroncino didn't even look at them. He just gave Yulia a glance.
Yulia swiftly moved between the adventurers.
In an instant, their clothes were shredded to pieces, leaving only tattered scraps hanging on them.
"Next time, it won't just be your clothes," Yulia said coldly.
"Grrr." A loud stomach growl suddenly echoed.
Peroroncino turned to Nana, whose stomach was growling.
"This lady, look at how even the child isn't being fed. Following him has no future."
"Swish." A sword flash passed, and the man who spoke had a finger severed.
"Ah!!!"
"If you want to die, keep talking," Yulia said coldly.
The man, gritting his teeth in pain, held back his cries.
The adventurers saw the scene and immediately closed their mouths, running off.
"Take your finger and go," Yulia said coldly.
The man, who had been running a few steps, turned around to retrieve his severed finger.
"If you run fast enough, maybe someone who can heal will help you reattach it!" Peroroncino said casually.
"If it weren't for you, my finger wouldn't have been cut off," the man thought angrily to himself.
But he didn't dare speak, afraid Yulia might kill him.
Peroroncino looked at Nana
"When was the last time you ate?"
"This morning."
"Why didn't you tell me you missed lunch?"
"Pestonya-nee said if I'm obedient, I can have food. If I'm not, I can't eat. I thought I wasn't obedient, so I didn't get food."
Upon hearing this, Peroroncino remembered the first time he saw her, when she was fighting a dog for food. She must have valued food highly.
He reached out and patted her head.
"No, you've been very obedient. Let's go. We're not leveling today. I'll take you for a feast."
Peroroncino transported Yulia and Nana to a place not far from E-Rantel city.
As they reached the city gate, there was a long line of people being checked for entry. After the previous incident, entering the city had become much more troublesome.
Peroroncino bypassed the line with Yulia and walked to the front, showing their Orichalcum badge. The soldiers immediately allowed them through.
Orichalcum adventurers were only a step away from Adamantite, and the soldiers didn't dare offend such important figures, so they let them pass immediately.
"Peroroncino-sama..."
"Call me 'Chino-oniisan' here."
"Chino-oniisan, why do they treat you with so much respect? When I saw those soldiers before, they always looked at me with disdain and even beat me up."
"Which one hit you?"
"It's that one sitting over there," Nana pointed at a rather plump soldier seated on a chair, gesturing arrogantly at those being inspected.
"Put this on, walk up to him, and give him a good kick. Make sure he remembers exactly who you are." Peroroncino handed Nana his Orichalcum badge.
"Okay."
Nana casually messed up her hair and walked over to the soldier.
"Do you remember me?" Nana's voice sounded vaguely familiar to the soldier.
The soldier glanced at her.
"You? Aren't you that little beggar from before? Where did you steal that Orichalcum badge from—"
Boom! The soldier was sent flying by a single kick from Nana, slamming into the wall and embedding into it.
The sheer force stirred up a massive dust cloud. While the cloud wasn't tall, it completely obscured Nana from view.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"The captain's dead! Request reinforcements now!"
"Help us!"
The commotion at the city gate threw the surrounding civilians into chaos.
<Eye of Insight>"Target deceased."
"Yulia, retreat with Nana."
"Oops, I forgot to tell Nana to go easy. This is going to be tricky to handle. Let's leave for now. That guy really got off easy," Peroroncino thought as he glanced at the dead soldier.
No one at the scene believed such an event could have been caused by a six or seven-year-old girl.
While many people noticed Nana, no one suspected her, as she seemed like nothing more than a little child.
Peroroncino brought Nana to the best restaurant in E-Rantel and ordered several signature dishes for her.
The food was soon served.
"Go ahead and eat!" Peroroncino gently patted Nana's head.
"Aren't you eating, Chino-oniisan?"
"I don't feel like eating here. If I get hungry, I can always eat Yulia."
Peroroncino's current humanoid body could consume three days' worth of food in one go and sustain itself for three days. Besides, the food here couldn't compare to Nazarick's, so he had no interest.
Watching Nana eat, Peroroncino felt a bit bored and unconsciously reached out toward Yulia.
However, his hand was suddenly grabbed by someone else.
"This woman here—he's trying to take advantage of you," said a young adventurer who had grabbed Peroroncino's hand, addressing Yulia.
At this moment,Nana stopped eating and glared angrily at the man holding Peroroncino's hand.
"Nana, keep eating. Don't worry about it," Peroroncino said, smiling at the adventurer without responding directly.
"Perfect timing—I was bored. Now someone's offering me entertainment," Peroroncino thought.
"Let go of your hand," Yulia coldly whispered to the adventurer.
"Miss, this person—"
"I'll give you one chance," Yulia said, her cold gaze making the adventurer hesitate. He quickly let go of Peroroncino's hand.
With the adventurer watching, Peroroncino casually reached out and pinched Yulia's soft cheek. (Yes, her cheek! Don't misunderstand!)
"Anything else you'd like to say?" Peroroncino asked with a smile.
"Miss, if this person is threatening you, just nod, and I will stand up for you," the adventurer declared.
Peroroncino gave Yulia a look, and she understood immediately.
She nodded at the adventurer, her eyes filled with helplessness and unwillingness, as if her previous cold gaze had never existed.
Seeing Yulia's expression, the adventurer had already planned their future together: saving her, earning her gratitude, and starting a happy life together—along with naming their seven children.
"Don't worry, miss! I'll deal with this scum for you!"
The adventurer drew his dagger, ready to deliver justice.
"No! My parents are still in his hands. You can't hurt him!" Yulia stepped in front of Peroroncino, pleading with the adventurer.
"Then..." The adventurer hesitated, unsure of what to do.
"In that case, how about this? You go rescue her parents first, then come back to deal with me," Peroroncino suggested helpfully.
"Right! Why didn't I think of that? Thank you—"
"Such a hotheaded fool, and yet he wants to play hero," Peroroncino mused with a smirk.
"Wait a minute—you're trying to confuse me! I'll kill you first, then save her parents!"
"Fine, but if you want to kill him, you'll have to beat me first. I won't trust you with rescuing my parents otherwise," Yulia said, drawing her sword.
"No problem. I'll go easy on you."
A short while later, the adventurer was beaten black and blue, with his hair shaved clean by Yulia.
"Let this be a lesson—don't meddle in other people's business," Peroroncino said, looking at the adventurer's sorry state.
The restaurant owner, who had watched everything, remained silent. Anyone who could afford to dine here was someone he couldn't afford to provoke. Silence had become his habit.
"Exactly."
