"Hey! Lucien, forget about Irene, but why are you saying that?"
Russell protested again.
"Huh? Who are you talking about, idiot?"
Irene angrily increased the strength of her hands.
"It hurts! Stop it! My head is going to be crushed..."
While Irene was punishing Russell, Hulim was also carefully observing the people in front of him.
Lucien, the captain, has brown hair and black eyes. He wears a full set of armor and carries a sword and shield on his back. He should be the vanguard of the team and his strength is probably at level B.
Guard Irene has green eyes, brown hair tied into a ponytail, and a gray wizard robe draped over it. Her strength should be considered top-notch among Class C.
Scout Froz, with black bangs covering half of his eyes, was dressed in simple black clothes with two daggers on his waist. His strength was comparable to that of Irene.
Including the gangster Russell, there are four of them in total, which can be said to be a very standard adventurer team.
Since the captain is a B-class team and all the team members are top experts in the C-class, it is speculated that the "Silver" team should be a B-class adventurer team in the guild.
"...I see. I think I understand now."
Hulim spoke.
"Really? I'm glad you understand. Honestly, we don't want to provoke anyone for no reason again."
Lucian said with a smile.
But there was a hint of helplessness in that smile. It seemed like this wasn't the first time...
“Russell.”
Lucien turned and called Russell's name.
"I see, really..."
Russell responded dejectedly.
Then Irene released her right hand from holding Russell.
Russell, who was freed, rubbed his head and turned to Hulim with a reluctant look.
"I'm so sorry for offending you!"
Boom!
Irene punched him on the head, then clenched her fist and threatened:
"Apologize to me!"
"Wow!"
Russell was so frightened that he trembled all over. He quickly shook his head like a tumbler to leave an afterimage and apologized quickly to Hulim.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have laughed at you! I was blind and didn't recognize you! Please forgive me, sir, for being so magnanimous..."
Russell's apology was done in one go, without any delay. His every gesture showed a deep experience, which could be seen to be the result of a lot of practice and was by no means innate.
"That's enough. I'm not angry anymore."
Hulim, startled by Russell's actions, quickly stopped him.
"Really?!"
Russell's head snapped up.
"Then it's settled!"
“… …?”
Russell's expression changed so quickly that Hulim almost didn't react.
She stared motionlessly at Russell, who was becoming complacent again.
After a moment, his eyes darkened and he said in a flat tone:
"No, I still won't forgive you."
“Huh?!”
Russell's expression froze instantly, and he said in panic:
"No! Didn't you already agree to forgive me?!"
"I just said I'm not angry anymore, but I never said I'd forgive you."
"Aren't you cheating—"
Boom!
Another heavy punch.
Russell was sunk directly to the ground.
Irene raised her fist and cursed angrily:
"You idiot, will you ever apologize properly?"
After cursing, she turned to Hulim and lowered her head to him.
"I'm so sorry, our idiot isn't very smart. Please don't take him too seriously. As compensation, we'd like to treat you to lunch. What do you think?"
"Take me out for lunch? That's fine..."
Because it was almost noon, Hulim, who had just arrived, did not refuse Irene's invitation.
"In that case, it's settled! By the way, Russell, you'll pay for lunch."
"ah?!!"
Russell suddenly raised his head from the ground.
“Why do you want me to pay?”
"Why, do you have any objections?"
“No, no…”
Under pressure from Irene's gaze, Russell immediately gave in. However, considering his own wallet, he mustered up the courage and said in a flattering tone:
"Um, Miss Irene, can we go somewhere cheaper?"
"Don't worry, Russell."
Irene said with a smile,
"Why would I embarrass you? It's not too expensive, just a golden pavilion."
"What--!!?"
Russell's screams echoed on the street in front of the Adventurer's Guild.
... ...
after a while.
Hulim and the four members of the "Silver" team came to a tavern called the Golden Pavilion.
Take a closer look.
The interior layout is indeed exquisite, the pub is also very large, and most importantly, there are a constant stream of customers.
Moreover, almost all of the people coming and going are adventurers whose strength should not be underestimated.
The number of people Hulim had sensed who were at the level of advanced adventurers had already reached double digits.
No wonder Luggie and Lor both recommended this store. Maybe this store is a high-end store for high-level adventurers.
"...It's a really popular shop."
"That's right!" Irene said. "The food at the Golden Pavilion is very creative and delicious. Adventurers new to Bangisto shouldn't miss it! It's a little pricey, though, so most adventurers can't afford it."
