On Sunday, July 7th, 777, in the world of Himlear, a rural noble family welcomed their seventh child—a seemingly ordinary girl who, from birth, appeared to have an indissoluble bond with the number...
"...What can we do?"
"Who knows? Let's take a look around first. I've been out for so long, and I really miss the food in the civilized world."
"It's time to change my clothes."
"I wonder if there's a blacksmith..."
In a few words, all the people from the Sword Saint's sect dispersed, leaving only Yamen standing there in a daze.
What about me? What should I do?
He looked around but could not see any of his fellow disciples.
"Sigh... Let's look around for a tavern first. I kind of miss the civilized world. I wonder if there's any Gudong chicken stew. It would be even better if there's Popom porridge..."
... ...
The other side.
Alante met other S-level powerhouses in the center of the camp, which was beginning to take on the size of a city.
"Oh, Alante, you're still alive! I thought you were dead after all this time."
"Hmph, how could I die? I'm a sword master!" Alante said unhappily.
"Stop bragging!" Laqi said mercilessly. "Anyway, you must be suffering from directionlessness again."
"Shut up! What do you know? I'm carrying out a special operation."
"What battle?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"Hey... Really? Then let me change the topic to something both of us can understand—"
"When will you pay me back?"
“…” Alante was silent.
"And those ancient magic tools I borrowed, and the sword you said you'd give it a try but never returned, and also..."
Laqi counted on her fingers.
“Ahem!”
Alante's face was filled with embarrassment.
"Why are you so stingy? You're just meeting and you're saying this. It's not like I won't return it to you."
After saying that, Alante quickly turned his gaze to the other people.
"Well, Esmeron and the others, it's been a long time since we last met."
"Heh~!" Irus sneered. "You remember to say hello to us now? Don't be impatient. How about you settle your account with Laqi first, and then settle it with us~?"
"You, you guys—"
Alante widened his eyes and looked "gritting his teeth".
"I never thought you were all so superficial! I will never associate with you again!"
After saying this, he made a gesture to leave.
"Okay, stop pretending."
Esmeron said calmly.
"We're tired of this every time. Don't let the important things get delayed."
Alante, who had just raised his right foot, immediately put it down.
"Well, whatever, for the sake of justice, I will sacrifice myself and tolerate you this time."
"... Could you be a little thicker-skinned?"
Everyone was speechless.
"Never mind... Let me introduce you to our new companion first."
"A new companion?"
"You really don't know anything..."
Irus was too tired to complain and could only reach out to Hulim.
"This is Hulim. She's been an S-ranker for less than a year."
"Hello..." Hulim greeted silently.
"Oh, is that her? She looks very young. If you have any questions, you can always ask me, your senior."
“… …”
"Hey, you... you're so arrogant! Even though Hulim has only just reached adulthood, her strength far surpasses yours!"
"Huh? How is this possible~!"
Alante laughed happily.
Yet no one else was laughing.
Just staring at him silently.
"Well... ..."
Alante couldn't laugh anymore.
"No way?"
Everyone nodded silently.
Alante was silent...
Although he was a little off-key, he could still tell whether everyone was joking or not.
But you want him to believe that a little human girl who has just reached adulthood is stronger than these veteran strongmen who have been S-level for many years?
This is hard to do!
Alante looked at Hulim again, the awkward feeling had disappeared, and there was a hint of sharpness and seriousness in his eyes.
And so, after a while.
"Surely..."
It’s true!
His intuition told him the answer...
There is no chance of winning.
The only outcome that awaits him is to be killed instantly.
Hello, hey, hey!
This is even more outrageous than it sounds--!!!
For a while.
Alante seemed to have suffered a blow and became unusually dejected.
Lachi and others suddenly felt strange.
I never thought that this guy with such a thick skin and a tough mouth would actually admit his mistake one day.
In other words, Alante didn't know what they were thinking, otherwise it would probably be even more uncomfortable.
Because the gap is so huge, he can be as tough as he wants.
Maybe it was because he saw the other person in a rare embarrassing situation.
For the time being, Irus and the others no longer cared about the fact that he kept borrowing things and not returning them.
"...Okay, Hulim, you've already met me. It's time to introduce you to the heroes. They're still in training, so just come with us."
Afterwards, Irus and others brought Alante to the training ground where the brave men were.
"Alante? You're still alive?!"
This was the first sentence Fei Luwen said after they met.
