To Deprive a Deprived Person

There is a bookstore on the street lined with the shopping district of the city Cummer. We deal extensively with products ranging from children's picture books to magical-related books like those read by the guard, but paper is still a fancy substitute for ordinary people. For this reason, most of the visitors to this bookstore were wealthy, such as aristocrats and merchants.

"Oh, isn't that Lena? I just got here yesterday. What's going on?

A moderate looking old man smiles at Lena as she returns her uneven glasses.

"... not me today"

"Good morning, I'm here today to pick up a book."

Namari greets her well beside Lena. The old man looks a little surprised, but immediately smiles just as he did when he turned to Lena.

"You're no better than Lena. You're a pretty girl."

"... I'm not a child like Namari. Adult Lady."

"I'm not a kid either. He's a strong demon clan!

"Heh heh, yeah. Is Namari strong?"

An old man narrows his eyes and strokes Namari's head.

Most of the customers are adults only in stores that handle expensive items. Speaking of visiting the store with the kids, the kids were obsessed with the product picture books and said, "I want you to buy that one. I want this too," she said, busy asking her parents, "and the old man, the shopkeeper, is not in her eyes. Such an old man's secret pleasure is his chat with Lena. Lena has few words, but she asks the old man diligently what books have arrived recently, whether he plans to have a book of magic, and what magic related books he has handled before. The figure was adorable and the old man, the shopkeeper, adored Lena like a grandson.

"You want a book with fewer letters and more pictures."

"Yeah! I'm fucking telling everyone it's coming for me."

"All right. Then I guess I'd better go this way."

The old man unlocks a case with sturdy keys and some magic of security, takes out a picture book worthy of Namari's demands and stacks it on the counter. Though pictorial books for children, books made from expensive paper are well decorated and exciting to scratch a child's imagination just by looking at the cover. That was no exception to Namari, who stared at the picture book in an excited way every time the old man took it out.

"Oh Jiji, what picture book is this?"

"This is it. It's a book of brave men and demons."

"Brave man!? This way!"

Whenever the excited Namari speaks to the old man, the old man answers with joy. Lena pulls Namari's hem as she watches how it goes.

"... Namari, do you have anything to say to your sister?

"No!

"... there is."

Lena, with her swirling asshole hair upside down, persistently eats down at Namari, who answers without turning around.

"Yeah...... It's a good place."

Fusu! and Namari, who was rooted in a rough nose Lena, turned to Lena like reluctantly.

"Lena...... Hey, thanks for following me to the bookstore today"

An old man laughs bitterly at the look of a bar-reading namari.

"... I'm worried about the time to your sister. But forgive."

Lena nodded satisfactorily, her asshole hair swinging happily left and right.

"Why are you buying them all?

"Yeah! Gigi recommended it to me. It sounds funny, so hey-hey-hey!

"I'm glad you bought the one I recommended, cheap, but I'll give you five silver coins, okay?

An old man sees Chirali and Lena. The old man knew that Lena was a C-rank adventurer by turning her back on what she looked like. So even though Namari said she was going to buy a book, I thought it was something Lena would pay for.

"... it's okay. Namari has the money"

"Ahhh! Oh Jiji, you thought I'd have Lena take care of you. You and I have money."

"... you're my sister"

Throughout Lena's scratch, Namari put an eagled gold coin on the counter all over her hands as she stuck her hands in an item pouch sewn into her chest pocket. The way you treat money is like someone else.

"Ko... is this all Namari's money?

"That's right. I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'm asking you not to let Master O'Donough get upset."

"This is... pennies!?

"Yeah! Uh. One hundred and fifty of these shiny ones on the moon."

One hundred and fifty pieces of gold. It is Madoka fifteen million. It's an uninterrupted amount to say a child's allowance, but less than a dozen, given the amount Namari sold the demonic material that he has defeated with Yu.

He was an old man surprised by much, but he took a big, deep breath when he managed to calm his mind when he returned his slippery glasses.

"Boris, look. I thought you'd come someday, but I didn't expect you to come yesterday today."

"Oh, here's your chance. From what I've seen, I'm not wearing any personal clothes."

"I thought it was an easy job. It's been months since I asked."

"Mr. Reinart seems to be stuck with the Minister of Finance, too."

There were four men looking in the store with Lena and the others more than in the alley. The identities of the men are those who belong to the clan "Dragon Fang".

Initially, when I heard what the request was from Reinart, the leader of the "Dragon Fang" alliance, some people were not convinced why the lower clan "Dragon Fang" of "Dragon Brigade", which rings throughout the Rame continent, had to imitate like such a thief, except for the story if the client became Value Finance Minister. Making connections with Value Finance Minister, the most powerful nobleman in the Kingdom of Oudon, will also make it easier to expand the power of 'Dragon Fang' within the Kingdom of Oudon.

The opponent is just four weak clans. Everyone in Dragon Fang thought it was a simple request. As I examine "Nameless," I realize that's not an easy thing to do. Yu Satou, the leader of the 'Nameless' alliance, was a monster who registered as an adventurer to become a B-rank adventurer less than a year later. Furthermore, Joseph Jorum, a muss eater, roamed around Satou as if to escort him, and the surroundings of the mansion were hidden from view by intelligence agents of multiple forces. This determines it is difficult to take the item pouch away from Satou, and 'Dragon Fang' turns the target into three: Nina, Lena and Marifa. Among these three, Lena was the easiest to grasp the behavior. Nina is likely to be approached just because she has a scouting job. Marifa was always accompanied by her actions with her Lord, Satou. The members of "Dragon Fang" examined Lena's scope of action by narrowing the subject to Lena. As a result, Lena was able to pinpoint her actions around the Mansion, the Adventurer's Guild, and the stores dealing with the books now in front of her.

"All right, I'll set you up at the same time Lena comes out of the store."

"Who do you want to set me up with?

The men of "Dragon Fang" speak louder than behind their backs and reveal a sense of alarm. Even though the perimeter alert was somewhat diminished because we were watching Lena, it could not be normal to allow them to approach us this far without us being noticed.

"Who are you people?

Ask the pair of men that Boris has been speaking to.

"Whoa. I know we're the ones asking the question, but where are you guys from?

"We are adventurers belonging to the City Cummer Adventurer Alliance."

It's awkward to find out that these two were tailing Lena. Furthermore, it is even more awkward for us to be known here as a member of The Dragon Fang. The number of adventurers working in urban camers rises to thousands. Dauntingly Boris stepped on that he would never find out if he lied.

"Hmm, adventurer? Not much to look at. Which, the card (...) Let me see."

It is the status card that comes to mind when an adventurer is said to be a card. I could have refused to show the cards here, but these two pairs were like adventurers because of their gear, but the air that wrapped them up somewhere was different from their own. Boris decides it's not a good idea to rub, and presents a status card.

"Silver...... C-ranked adventurer? But you're not."

"You're out."

The pair look at each other and nod at each other.

"You guys - buha"

"What are you talking about?"

The moment the two men turn around, one of the "Dragon Fangs" punches a fist in the face. It was a man in a close-range avant-garde position with 'fighter' and 'fistfighter' jobs who unleashed the fists.

Dominic, you're not gonna make a scene here.

"Boris, you're gonna get on the diagram because you're gonna be the sweet one. You won't have to hang out with these suspicious guys.

You there, take him and lose him. Otherwise, you too... "

Dominic thought a blown man wouldn't wake up for at least a few hours in response to a perfectly fitting fist.

"Oh, it hurts, suddenly he beats me up"

"Oh... you are conscious of eating what you are!?

Poto, I'm alarmed. I'm sorry.

Stand up as if nothing had happened while a man called Poto wipes the blood out of his mouth.

"Ugh! I deliberately ate it and tried some! Well, no. Whatever it is, will you eliminate the dust that wraps around Lena?"

"About what?

"Don't fall in love! I know you guys have been tailing Lena for the last few days. We've been watching Lena too."

"Were you watching? Who are you people?"

"Ah? I'm the point of The Silver Wolves."

"Silly. It would be 'Lena Fan Club' now though"

"Go. Again," Lena Fan Club, "member number 072, point."

"Also Member # 105 Apollo"

Poto and Apollo boasted of their golden membership cards. The card I was telling Boris to show me earlier was a membership card.

"Lena Fan Club," a secret clan founded without permission in Lena, but those who belong to this clan had something like perks. Gold membership cards are distributed to members at the time of establishment, and you are not to blame for eating lightning from Lena once a week. It is also permitted to approach within five meters of Lena once a day. Thunder comes once a month when you become a member of the Silver Card, and approaching every three days. They may think what they are saying from a regular person, but they are serious and consider themselves gentlemen. Now the Clan Terms are even finer, tailing Lena every week - at the end of the day even the person in charge of watching her.

"Of the 'Silver Wolves'...... you think it's Apollo in Poto? The allies and deputy allies of a well-known mercenary clan are protecting such a little girl!

"Whoa, watch your language. Let's get started."

"Poto is right. Just now - Lena!?

Everyone sees the end of the alley in Apollo's words. There was a picture of Lena and Namari holding a picture book.

"... you guys, shut up just now"

"Someone at the store is going to get in a fight."

"Chip. I'm pulling!

Along with Boris' signal, the members of "Dragon Fang" run through the sides of Poto and Apollo and flee to the end of the alley.

"Les, Lena, you're not. This is... Hey, Apollo?

"Ah? Oh, yeah. We weren't in trouble."

Poto and Apollo, stared at by Lena, head down in panic. But in a short Lena, instead of looking down, it takes the form of looking up. Plus Lena was trying to make her toes look a little bigger. Poto and Apollo's face naggingly nibbles at Lena standing with her toes pulled together.

"... Shh. He's bleeding."

"What!? This is, uh... here we go."

"... n"

"Lena?

"... give in"

Poto gives in without knowing what Lena wants to do. Lena and Poto's gaze is the same when Poto succumbs. Lena exercises healing magic when she puts her hand on the cheek of a swollen pot. The swelling on Poto's face pulls off while he looks at it, and he gets back to normal. Previously biased against attack magic, Lena had also recently practiced white magic against the inhabitants of Nameless Island, raising her white magic arm with a thrill.

"... go home"

"Lena, can I help you?

"... Lena, you're my sister. Fine."

Poto and Apollo dropped off Lena and Namari as they left.

"Fine. Lena, I knew it. Wow. Me, I'm not washing my face anymore!

As Poto strokes Lena's touched cheek, he forever gazes at where Lena left off.

"Kah! That's Lena. Recovery magic isn't what they do around here! Apollo would think so."

"Solemn."

"Ahem?

"What are you touching Lena's hand for? I'll report this to my comrade!"

"Bye, silly! You, I know it's different now! That would be a reward for putting your body up and protecting Lena!! Wait, wait, wait! Apollo, please!! Keep it to yourself!!"

Poto's wishes are vain, too. Solemnity by the gentlemen will be imposed at a later date. After this incident, Lena's escort by the "Lena Fan Club" became even stronger, and the Clan "Dragon Fang" became more and more untouchable.
