I manage! I manage to finish the chapter on time!

Here is chapter 36!

Not edited yet, I warn you, bad english ahead!

Enjoy (^_^)/

==========================================

[Unedited]

My mouth moves in mechanical ways but it didn’t form any sound.

The three idiots men and their party are the last people I want to meet right now. Aren’t you guys said that you all will take a rest? Should you all be in the inn?

Huh? The three idiots somehow pretty beat up than the last time I saw them?

Kulak take a glance toward Julia and me before his mouth curl up into a smirk.

“Here I am wondering why that your group in such rush, turn out their youngest member had an important thing to attend”(Kulak)

“I’m accompanying her because of her request!”(Rune/Crev)

“He~? Is that so?”(Kulak)

This man, he is making fun of me right now! I have never remember you as this kind of person! I expect more from you!

Even if the reason isn’t because a request, shouldn’t you not call me? Can’t you sense the mood!?

Because Kulak’s comment, somehow the three idiots starting to glare at me with high intensity.

I really don’t understand their problem.

“T-that is true! I force him to accompany me by request!”(Julia)

As expected from the kind heroine, Julia back me up!

“So you taking request at the guild the moment you arrive?”(Kulak)

I flinch at Kulak’s words. After a long journey, taking another request would be weird. Most adventurer choose to take a rest or sightseeing instead of taking another job immidiently. As I’m pondering how to explain it to them, the most quite member, Josha came to my rescue.

“Kulak, I think you should stop toying with the youngling”(Josha)

Realizing my tense condition, Josha give me a wry smile. He is the most unnoticeble guy among the group, and now I think he is the most decent guy too! You are a decent guy Josha! I can feel it!!!

“Kahahaha! Calm down kid. I won’t pestering you any further”(Kulak)

As if he have his own theory, Kulak slap my back really hard and laugh. This person...he probably a muscle-head. Don’t forget that he penetrated the turtle bear’s shell with bare hand. With that hand, he slap my back really hard and now I’m in agony.

THAT’S HURT!!

I bite down my lips to surpress my scream. I will not scream in front of Julia. Never!

“Well, it is good to find you here. Why don’t you accompany us for a moment? It is my threat!”(Kulak)

No, even if you say a threat….shouldn’t you sense the mood? I’m walking with a girl here. I’m on a request here. I’m glaring at you here. So, please go away.

“Let’s go to that shop!”(Kulak)

Are you blind?! What is wrong with today? First was Julia and now you? Did I not express my intention clear enough?

Maybe because she is suddenly sweep away with bunch of strange men, Julia gave me a worried look. I tug her closer to me so she wouldn’t be scared. She quitely walk closer to me and face down so I can’t see her face. Is she that scared?

I’m sorry Julia! I’m sorry, because of me, you are surrounded with scary men!

Is it just me or the three idiots’ glare becoming more painful?

The shop that Kulak shows to us are actually Tiera and it is full of people. I took a glance toward Kulak after seeing how full the main enterance and he just laugh.

“They also popular in this country too”(Kulak)

‘too’? Does that mean the other Tiera shop always that full?

“Well, compare to the other one we went, this time it’s not that crowded”(Josha)

You call this isn’t crowded?!

“Ah, is this the first time you came boy?”(Kulak)

I nod at his question.

“This is the first time I’m in North Continent”(Rune/Crev)

“Really? That’s mean it is more reason for you to try food’s here! You will taste paradise and no longer can differ up and down!”(Kulak)

Since I have been travel with the Tiera’s head chef all along, I doubt that…

“Let’s get inside”(Josha)

“Are you sure? They seems really full”(Rune/Crev)

“They maybe full, but they work fast. So, it’s alright”(Josha)

“? I dong’t understand what do you mean”(Rune/Crev)

“They have this self-service system, it’s really makes the foods go around faster, so the people will walk in and out in no time!”(Kulak)

Self-service system?! Tiera is actually a Burger K○○○?!

“It might be little weird for first timer, but their system is pay first before eat. We order the food at the counter, pay and find your own table”(Josha)

That is exactly like M○d○○ald!

Carried away by the group, we get inside the queqe while Josha and the three is finding seats for us. They entrusted their order to Kulak, the usual they said. As for Julia, since she seems a bit tired, she is tagging along with the other to search for seats. At first she insist to tag along with me, but I noticed that she seems wobbly as she walk so I told her to take a seat with the other. Since Josha is with her, I can rest assured that she will be fine. He is decent guy after all!

Julia said she is full, so I will probably order her a drink.

When we reach the counter, the menu mostly are western food. I have no problem with it, but I don’t think I want any meat after eating the grilled skewered meat from before.

The honey grilled meat is really tasty and sweet, now I’m in the mood for something salty.

….Maybe a potato chips? Do they have it here? Mark sometimes made us some potato chips for snack, most of it end up into the twins’ stomach though.

Tiera’s menu is differ depent on the location. There is still some fixed menu mostly the drink. Unlike the drinks, the foods have to be alter depend on the season.

I didn’t know much since Shena never really told me anything about it. But it seems she take care the business really well.

“What do you want to order?”(Kulak)

Kulak’s voice snap me back from my thought.

“Eh, hm...probably something light to eat”(Rune/Crev)

Like potato chips…ah! They have it here!

“Something light ey? It is two filet mignom and two fruit juices then. As for my men want the usual, so it’s meat and beer… Girl, we want five pork ribs, five hamburger steak, five beer, two filet mignom and two fruit juices”(Kulak)

Wait, what?

“T-that is to much!”(Rune/Crev)

“You should eat more or you won’t grow much”(Kulak)

No, it isn’t about that! It is you who eat to much! How can Julia and I finished all that meal, We both already ate…

Before I can protest, Kulak is already paying all the food and as we waiting for our food, he suddenly move closer to me.

“I have heard what my men did to you and I am very sorry…”(Kulak)

He lightly pats my head.

“I already give them an appropriate punishment, so please don’t have grudge on them...”(Kulak)

Is that why they are all beat up?!

“Those guys… They have some bad memories especially with wolf-beastman”(Kulak)

Is that why they treat me harshly?

“You see, those three...they lost everything because of someone...someone from the wolf-tribe”(Kulak)

Because of what Kulak said, I held my breath as my mind keep imagining worse thing that could happend to the three idiots.

Lost everything?! D-did some wolf-beastman bandits raided their village? Or family member were killed?

“They got beaten up by a wolf-tribe kid after chasing some woman back at their country.”(Kulak)

WEREN’T THEY THE ONE AT FAULT HERE?!!!

This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it

“I know what you are thinking, but trust me, it isn’t like that at all. Those three just doing their job as a soldier”(Kulak)

“They were soldier? Does that mean the woman is guilty?”(Rune/Crev)

“Uh~ Not exactly. It just, their superior happens to be a bad man. He like to take high taxes and taking away people’s daughter to be sold as slaves. Nobles are rotten you know, it happens a lot. Those three, they just doing what they ordered to. Even if they don’t like it, they can’t really opposed the order since they all have wives to support”(Kulak)

Eh, they are actually married?!

“Becoming a soldier under those kind of people are terrible… Even they said so. After graduating from the soldier training, they was assigned to a bad man and have to do bad deed. One day, one of the captured woman manages to escape from their superior’s room after stealing some important documents and prove of the bad deed he done. They were ordered to bring her back”(Kulak)

…..Hm……?

“Just when they about to bring her back, a bunch of young beastman shows up, beat them up and save the girl. Those young beastman and the girl later give the documents to high authority at the capital city. After that, things start to become hard for them”(Kulak)

Somehow… This story…. A bit familiar?

“Turn out the girl they chasing is the third princess. Since they treat her roughly...No, everyone who treat her roughly get severe punishment. As for those three, they were driven out of their own country.”(Kulak)

……………..T-this…..

“If I’m not wrong, those beastkids are actually member of certain kingdom soldier and on their escort mission. The most distingush one is the young leader, the one who actually beat them up is a young wolf-tribe boy with brown hair and beside him is the vice-leader, a young beautiful girl from cat-tribe”(Kulak)

…………..BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!

That is definetly that stupid, idiot, lame, siscon brother of mine!

How could it be, that is one of key-point where my brother create his connection toward human continent!

That event is also inside the original story, when the game is explaining the tutorial for beast-race character, that is the first time of playing Eden character! The escort mission was actually escorting the crown prince to go sightseeing in human continent. Since the crown prince is skirt-chaser, he fell in love with almost any women he met. On their third night, the prince accidently saw a young woman in trouble and recklessly help her. They both were chased by the city guard and Eden have a hard time to protect them. It was that time the crown prince saw brother’s talent and promoted him to be his personal guard.

But the most important part isn’t that!

Those three are driven out as a punishment! That didn’t supposed to happend in the original story! Althought it’s just the tutorial, the game have the system called ‘Butterfly Effect’, where the result is deffer depend on what the choice you made. That is why this game is popular, every choice you make will result in different ending.

This system is the reason why I spend a long time to reach the ‘True End’.

In the tutorial, this system was explained and for the first try, the right answer to the ‘True End’ was to chose ‘Forgive them’ instead of ‘Punish them all’!

That stupid brother of mine, just what he was thinking?! Those three might later become the future soldier A, soldier B or soldier C! The extra minor character who will help them fight off monsters’ attack!

“We were the soldier you saved years ago. Now it is time for us to pay our debt!”

That is the line they used in the original game! Stupiddd brotheerrr! I want to punch him! I really want to punch him for his idiocy! Has vengeance coulded you brother? Where is your kindness?!!

“After that, as if they were haunted by bad luck, their wives actually cheated on them. On their way leaving the human continent, they constantly being scammed, beaten up by some thug and many more.”(Kulak)

....T-those guys…I’m really sorry for what that stupid brother has did to them and all bad things that happened to them...

“They were like wounded beast the fist time I see them. After several time fighting and working together, we start to trust each other and created this group. They weren’t bad people to begin with, they’re just to honest if I say. Maybe because seeing you kinda remind them of that person and there was also the fact that you keep surrounded by those girls, those guys just end up harrassing you.”(Kulak)

...It wasn’t like I’m enjoying being glued by Kena and Lila who treat me like dress up doll and the twins who is more a hassle to me while using me as Mark’s subtitutes to cook.

...Yup, really not enjoying it...

Still, I felt guilty for what my brother have did to them… Will his action influence the story? L-like popularity level or something?

I need to report this to Shena right after I get back to the inn.

“Please don’t worry about it. After hearing your story, I feel much obligated to help them”(Rune/Crev)

Because my brother are the sources of their deprived, I feel like I owe them…

“You are nice kid aren’t you! Kahahaha!”(Kulak)

Once again Kulak pats me on the head, this time he messed my hair. The girl at the counter came with our order not long after that.

“Here is your order~. Thank you for your purchase, please come again~♡”

Even the way she talk just like those fast-food restaurant.

Because the food are plenty, I have hard time holding it. This ‘fillet mignom’...just what meat are they? They look a bit greenish? Or is it the spices?

“Here, let me help you with that”(Kulak)

Kulak smoothly take the plate out of my hand and holding all those plates with out any problem. He even have some at his head.

A circus?! Somehow if you thinking about a tiger and balancing plate skill, you would be reminded with a a circus right?

“You can hold the drinks”(Kulak)

“O-ok”(Rune/Crev)

Holding bunch of drinks, I walk slowly to ensure none of them spill. As we found the other, I almost drop it. Because looking at Julia crying surprised me.

Those rough men! What did they-?!

“””*Sob*”””

It isn’t just Julia who cried, but they are all too? Even Josha?!

“Wh-what happened?! Why you all crying?!”(Kulak)

Even Kulak have the same confused face as I am.

“We are not crying!”(Morty)

“Definetly not!”(Herald)

“This is our sweat!”(Kalan)

You guys sweating through your eyes? Now I am worried.

I gave Julia a worried look and she just smile at me.

“We all just come into mutual understanding”(Julia)

They all smile as Julia said that. This is of course, left me and Kulak puzzled.

As we are eating the foods in front of us, the three idiots start giving me some of their food.

“Here, you need eat more to stay strong”(Kalan)

“You need to try this too. It’s delicious”(Morty)

“.....*Sob*”(Herald)

W-What is wrong with them?! Why are they looking at me with pity in their eyes?! Even Josha and Julia looking at me warmly! This is weird and uncomfortable!

“””””.....”””””

Stop looking at me as I am eating!!!!!

“....Just what the heck happened?”(Kulak)

NO! Stoopp looking at me!!!
