25. Trouble

I grabbed Elena's hand when I found out about Aldine.

"? Lena, what's wrong?

"Don't move, Mr. Elena."

I felt a tremor from Elena's hand when I said that and stood in front of Elena. Apparently, Mr. Elena noticed the situation as well. Then Mr. Elena called out anxiously.

"Lena..."

"It's okay."

I said so and waited awhile, and it seemed that Aldin, walking forward, had just noticed about Elena, and came towards us with a slightly surprised look on her face.

(Maybe you just noticed Mr. Elena? I was walking this way...)

and I lurked my eyebrows as I seemed to notice my presence when he came near me wondering about that.

"You... Starving ghosts from the guild!

Then Aldin looked at me and was a little worried, but when he realized who I was, he hit me with an angry caged gaze.

A little surprised you didn't notice as soon as you looked at me and asked how Aldine would not act on anything.

"That's what?

"!? You took extra expense because of you! You did something extra!

"You just pissed yourself off and ignored the rules of the guild, didn't you? Why do I have to be pissed off?

"!? Ko, you hungry bastard!?

Aldine has reached out to me hatefully. I snagged my leg as I bounced that hand from side to side and grabbed it with the other hand before it grabbed my clothes.

Then Aldin fell out of his head toward the one I pulled out of balance.

"Ugh!

Aldin seemed to have hit him hard in the face pretty hard and was squatting on the spot. Elena pulled my clothes when she thought she felt a little comfortable with how well she was determined to be funny.

"What's up?

"Uh, yeah. Um, are you okay?

Mr. Elena was gazing at Aldin, who was squatting as she said so.

"I'm a C-rank adventurer, so you're gonna be okay, right? I just rolled..."

"No, I'm somewhat worried about that, too, but about the upcoming Lena?

"I?"

I thought Elena was definitely worried about Aldine. Apparently she was worried about me. What are you worried about when I just rolled Aldine? Thinking about it, Aldin slowly rose.

"This, hungry ghost... If the guy in the lower ranks says he's going to cock the top, I'm going to do it so his body can tell."

Aldin pulled out the sword he had put on his back when he said so.
