As she spoke, Lucy's voice suddenly rose, and in the end she actually shouted it out, the girl's shyness deafening.
Caesar then realized that Lucy, who was standing in front of him, was also short, something he had completely forgotten. He quickly waved his hands and laughed it off.
"Hehe, Lucy, I didn't mean that. I meant...you continue, continue..."
You can't mess with Lucy when she's in a rage.
Even Caesar, the leader of the sons of Calydon, had to give face to his chief steward.
"Phew, really..."
Lucy finally withdrew her gaze from Caesar, but then caught a glimpse of Bell following along out of the corner of her eye. Her face flushed, and she quickly looked down to check if there was anything inappropriate about her attire. She then grabbed her hat and put it back in place.
“Ahem, hello Ropemaker. I’m Lucy, a member of the Sons of Calydon. This is our leader Caesar, and also Bernice, Wright, and Pai Pai.”
"Oh, and this one too, Corinne, who just joined today. She's currently working as a bartender and waitress at the Son of Calydon."
Lucy stretched out her arms and introduced each of her members to Rin.
"Ha, a newbie joined us, and she can even mix drinks? I'm a bartender too, want to come and mix drinks with me?"
Bernice suddenly became excited and stared intently at Corinne.
Colleen felt the intense sunlight pouring down, and just getting a little closer made her feel like she was being burned alive. She quickly shrank behind Lucy to avoid Bernice's wicked gaze.
Having only been there for less than half a day, Colleen already missed the delicate gentleness of Victoria Housekeeping.
It's so nice that everyone is so quiet!
"Bernie, shut up and go back now, don't scare people!"
Since she had brought the person with her, Lucy naturally wanted to protect her. Holding Colleen, she turned around and glared at Bernice, who could only scratch her head embarrassedly and retreat.
With Bernice's withdrawal, no one else dared to cause trouble.
Finally, the world fell silent for a moment, and Lucy breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Bell.
"That's right, rope craftsman."
"We invited you here through Billy for the Hellfire Ride tomorrow afternoon."
"The name sounds nice, but it's actually a motocross race held in a cave. The goal of winning is to be the first to reach the Lake of Fire (Note 1) and then throw the flint (Note 2) into the Lake of Fire."
"Hmm..." Ling buried her head in thought for a while, then raised her question, "This Hellfire Ride sounds pretty dangerous, what's the reward for winning?"
"Winning will make us the champion of the motorcycle league."
Lucy explained, "The Motorbike Alliance is the leading alliance of the entire outer ring, possessing supreme authority. And the overlord of the Motorbike Alliance holds the power to allocate routes."
"And the dominant force in recent years has been the Triumphs... These guys assigned us the worst routes. Every time I go to them, that Triumph's second-in-command named Lucius just brushes me off with something like 'the routes are all decided by lottery'... Ugh!!! I want to tear him to pieces!"
As she spoke, Lucy suddenly started to lose her temper, but then she remembered that Rin was still in front of her, so she immediately regained her ladylike demeanor and calmly analyzed the situation:
"In short, in order to control the allocation of the Fire Lake route and prevent the residents of Wildfire Town from having too much of a hard winter, we must fight for this Fire Hell ride!"
"etc..."
As she spoke, Lucy suddenly remembered something and murmured to herself:
"On the way back, I heard that the son of the city's clothing supplier, who had been working with the overlord Pompeo, was coming to negotiate business with Pompeo in person. Pompeo specially came back from out of town."
"If Fire Riding can't win, then tonight..."
...
[Note 1: Lake of Fire: The area where Lucy and the others live is known as the Old Oil Wells District. The Lake of Fire is the only source of oil in the region.]
[Note 2: Ignition stone: Simply put, it's like explosives; it can blast away etheric crystals.]
