Legend Chapter 398

The following day after Rei’s fight with Vihera. Rei greeted Elena in the morning the same way as he had done for the past few days before they headed for the dungeon along with Set and Yellow.

……Yes, Rei didn’t show any signs that anything had happened.

However……

「……」

Elena kept glancing over towards Rei for some reason as she walked beside him.

Even though Rei noticed that, he made no effort ask about it as they walked down the street.

They bought some Lizardman skewers on their way to the dungeon as Elena continued to glance over at Rei.

「Are you two going to the dungeon again? Why don’t you take a break?」

「What, no need to worry about us. We can get rid of our tiredness quickly and, above all, Elena can only spend a limited amount of time in Exil. Hey, Elena?」

「……Mm. That’s right. Time certainly is limited. That’s why Rei wants to stretch his wings.」

「Set’s wings? I feel Set always takes things leisurely though.」

Rei turned his eyes away from Elena narrowed eyes as he stroked Set’s head.

「Guru~?」

Is anything wrong? Set seemed to ask as Rei stroked his head to say that it was nothing.

After finishing their skewers, they passed through the dungeon gate before arriving in the plaza where the transfer device was.

As they entered, the people forming temporary parties all turned to look at Rei. However, it seemed that Rei saying that they only needed a skilled thief had been effective. No one in particular called out to them as they made their way to the transfer device, where they saw some familiar faces.

「Okay, Byune. I’ll be the vanguard today.」

「Mm.」

「I hope a strong monster will show up today. I haven’t been able to use all my strength recently.」

「Mm?」

「yes, that’s right. I had a good time last night, so I can’t help wanting to fight more enemies today……」

「……Mm.」

A superb beauty with reddish purple hair, golden eyes and dressed like a dancer. She had weapons equipped on her arms and legs. Her revealing outfit caused many men to look over at her……but most of them looked away shortly after.

Everyone knew who she was. The woman was known as the Mad Beast. Rather than a title…….it was more of a nickname. It was a name only known within Exil, but it was obvious why she had that nickname of Mad Beast seeing the unconscious adventurers lying beside her.

In addition, the Mad Beast was talking with Byune, the bereaved child of the Fraut family. A 10 year old D rank adventurer.

Byune wasn’t particularly dangerous in her own right, but due to the influence of her family, anyone who tried to mess with her would draw the attention of the other three families……in a bad way. In that sense, she was also someone dangerous to deal with.

For that reason, there were very few people who would approach them, aside from the men lying on the ground near Vihera, who were probably newcomers to Exil and were not familiar with the situation they were getting themselves into.

The two of them were both treated as dangerous individuals, but that similar treatment seemed to make them get along with each other. Rather, it seemed that Vihera couldn’t leave the young Byune alone. Left alone for a while, the two of them maintained a sense of distance between each other as they conversed before eventually deciding to form a temporary party to enter the dungeon.

Whether it was Vihera or Byune, they were both solo adventurers. There was no doubt they were good at their roles, but due to their individual circumstances, no temporary parties were willing to recruit them.

Byune aside, when Vihera had first arrived at Exil, a large number of men and a small number of women had rushed to her because of her beauty. When she refused their invitations, some adventurers turned to force……and were easily beaten down. After seeing that, many other parties who were looking for stronger members tried to recruit her, but she just told them that she wasn’t interested in weak people. Hearing themselves called weak, some adventurers tried to attack her, continuing the cycle and resulting in the current situation.

Those that didn’t know the situation would be stopped by those that did. Those who knew the situation would just mind their own business in the dungeon. ……That is, until this time.

「Ara~? Rei, good morning.」

Vihera’s greeting astonished the people in the surroundings. Then, as they followed her line of sight, they saw who she was calling out to. Some looked jealous while others seemed to understand.

Of course, with regard to the jealous looks, that was due to the fact that although Rei already had a beautiful woman like Elena beside him, he had been called out by Vihera, a beauty at the same class as Elena.

In addition, most of the jealous looks were from male adventurers who were new to Exil and either hadn’t heard about Vihera or Rei or were not interested in information and had neglected to collect any.

「……Heh. She seems quite close to you.」

However, none of that mattered to the voice beside Rei.

As for the owner of the voice, which sent chills down Rei’s spine as she played around with the curls in her golden hair.

Needless to say, it was Elena.

「Uh……Elena?」

「Yes? What is it? If you have something to say, I’ll listen to you.」

Elena even smiled as she replied in a soft tone that could almost be called calm. However, her eyes were definitely not smiling as she looked at Rei.

You have a beautiful woman at your side and Vihera still called out to you, you bastard-! That said, the people who had been looking at him in jealousy must have felt fear when they saw Elena’s reaction. They slowly looked away from Rei and his group.

「No, I was wondering why you are so angry.」

「Huh? Do I look angry to you? It’s a bit strange. I feel so calm.」

That’s a lie-! The people who had looked away from Rei, but still kept their ears open, all shouted in their minds when they heard Elena’s words.

Whether she sensed that or not, Elena glanced over at her surroundings. At that same moment, the nearby adventurers unnaturally started up random conversations with the other adventurers close to them.

「Ara~ ara~, you seem to be in a bad mood. What’s wrong? Could it possibly be, jealousy? In contrast to your appearance, you’re actually quite cute.」

In this tension filled moment, it was naturally Vihera who spoke up happily.

There was a smile on her face as she looked at them with a teasing gaze.

At the same time, right next to the bloody battlefield, Byune gently stroked Set and Yellow’s head to say good morning. It was as if the bloody battlefield had nothing to do with her at all.

「Hmph, I don’t care for getting called cute by an exhibitionist like you.」

「An exhibitionist? You mean my outfit? But, unlike you, I have a body that isn’t embarrassing to show to others, so it’s fine.」

As she said that, Vihera jiggled her breasts, showing off her huge twin hills.

She was quite proud of her body and was indeed as beautiful as Elena.

However, unlike Elena, Vihera used her beauty and her body as weapons to fight against strong opponents. That was why she dressed herself up so invitingly to men. If someone could beat her, she would be willing to entrust herself to them.

On the contrary, Elena had grown up as a noble and a general who led soldiers. Because of that, she considered it a shame to expose her skin unnecessarily in public. Because of that, there was no reason for Elena and Vihera to share the same values.

「Y-Y…….You. Did you seduce Rei with that body!」

Elena’s shout echoed out.

Of course, the curious adventurers who had been listening in to their conversation couldn’t miss that.

「Grrrrrr-, even though……even though he’s Crimson, I will still defeat him, I have to defeat him!」

A man who had been listening in tried to brandish his spear with a furious expression.

「Hey, don’t be stupid. If you cause a fuss here, you just end up at the guard station instead of the dungeon. I mean, you’re never going to be able to beat Crimson, so just give up.」

「Why-! Don’t you find this frustrating!?」

「It’s frustrating! But we……we can’t beat him with our strength. So, we have to wait for someone more powerful!」

Such exchanges occurred in several places.

If Rei had been looking in from the outside, he might have been laughing at the comedic situation. However, it was a different matter when he was in the middle of it all. At Elena’s shout, he turned to look at her on reflex.

That was a mistake. His face had a look of surprise on it. His actions showed that what Elena had said was true.

「W-What are you talking about?」

「Am I wrong? ……Rei, let me ask you something. Did you forget the ability of my familiar, Yellow?」

「-!?」

Rei took in a sharp breath at Elena’s words.

Yellow, the small Dragon, had moved from Set’s back to Elena’s left shoulder before he knew it. Yellow had various abilities, but one of them was that Elena could directly read it’s memories.

「……No way.」

「Isn’t it natural to worry when the person you’ve been partying up with went out one night, something that they had never done before? That’s enough for me to send Yellow after you in case anything went wrong.」

「……You were awake?」

Rei had thought Elena had been sleeping, but now he knew that it hadn’t been the case. At the same time, he finally understood why Elena had seemed to be angry with him since this morning.

In other words, Yellow had been watching the fight between Rei and Vihera. If that was the case, Yellow would have of course seen the subsequent result……that is to say, Vihera’s kiss. At the same time, this mean that Elena would have found out after reading Yellow’s memories.

「Yeah. So, when you came back, Yellow also returned anxiously……you know what happened after that?」

「……」

Rei was at a loss for words with no way out.

Of course, he wanted to claim that he hadn’t been the one kissing but the one kissed. However, it was clear that such an argument wouldn’t convince the angrily smiling Elena.

Then, there were some people that wanted to stir up trouble as they dropped a bomb on the volcano on the verge of eruption.

「Ara~, I’m so sad to hear that when I gave you my first time.」

「Hey, don’t say something so outright misleading.」

A woman……a beautiful woman like Vihera at that had given Rei her first time. It wasn’t hard to imagine what others would think. Of course, the people around them thought exactly that, and so did Elena.

「Your first time? An exhibitionist enthusiast like you?」

「Ara~? Are you judging a person by their appearance?」

「Of course. I barely know anything about you. No, I know you’re a combat maniac, but that just makes it even worse.」

「Hmph. I won’t be told that by a stuffy person. That’s why Rei will fall over to me.」

「He’s not falling for you! Besides, I’ve been thinking about it, Rei, you’re too easy going.」

「Ara~? Rei and I kissed each other though, so that outcome should be expected.」

「Stop saying that! For the most part, didn’t you just force your lips on Rei!?」

Elena frowned unpleasantly as she shouted at Vihera, who had a brilliant smile.

Of course, the eyes of everyone who had been listening in gathered on Rei.

The men had jealous gazes while the women were filled with curiosity.

It looked like two beautiful women, Elena and Vihera, were fighting over Rei, so it couldn’t be helped. However, the person at the centre of it all couldn’t be as relaxed.

It had become quite used to people looking down at in in contempt over the past year. In contrast, he had also become accustomed to people look at him in awe due to the presence of Set and his own strength. However, it was the first time that he had received a large number of such looks.

If he had to make a comparison, it would be similar to when he interacted with Lenora and Kenny in the guild, but even then it wasn’t this intense.

(What do I do in this situation?)

In the meantime, he tried to block the gazes with the hood of his Dragon Robe, but that didn’t stop people from continuing to look at him.

As Rei was feeling troubled……

「Mm.」

Byune, who had been stroking Set and Yellow, went over to Rei and grabbed his Dragon Robe as she made a small sound.

「What’s wrong?」

「Mm!」

Byune gave a short response before pulling Rei. Set and Yellow both followed after them for some reason……

「What’s wrong Byune?」

「Byune?」

Vihera and Elena seemed to have noticed what was going on and followed after the four of them.

When she got to the transfer device, she took out her own dungeon card and urged Rei to take out his own as well.

「Oh, I understand now. Here.」

Nodding, he took out his dungeon card……before turning to Elena and Vihera, who had also taken out their dungeon cards. The next moment, the transfer was completed and Rei, Elena, Vihera, Set and Yellow were sent to the magic circle on the fourth floor.
