Chapter 33
I Got Angry
Translator : PolterGlast
The location shifts to
the guild in the town where Runa is staying.
【Runa's POV】
As usual, I was
immersed in reading materials and researching the structure of equipment within
the Adventurer's Guild branch.
However... While I was
doing so, there was an unusual commotion at the reception desk.
It seemed like someone
was shouting there.
I'm not particularly a
curious bystander.
So, I thought I would
just take a peek and come right back if it didn't concern me much. As I
approached the reception desk, I saw───
"Please! Someone
help me!!!"
I saw a male
adventurer named Tekiru, who was supposed to have gone out with Kushina,
shouting.
It had only been a few
moments since the two of them had left. It's too early for him to be coming
back.
Why is that man back?
And what about Kushina? How is it possible that he's asking for help while
Kushina is with him?
Questions kept popping
up in my head.
"Hey,"
Before I realized it,
I was talking to the man who was shouting.
"Ah! You're───"
"What happened to
Kushina? What exactly happened?"
"───T-That's,"
The man began to
explain the situation.
According to the man,
apparently───Kushina he went out to
explore the ruins at his request, and while there were no particular problems on
the way from the forest to the ruins, as soon as they entered the ruins, the
entrance exploded. The entrance was buried by rubble, and Kushina was trapped
inside the ruins. Because the ruins themselves are old buildings, if they tried
to forcefully blow away the rubble, the ceiling could collapse and bury them
alive. So, in effect, Kushina was trapped in the ruins.
The moment I heard
that, my blood boiled.
"You... you left
Kushina behind and came back on your own?"
"───Well, yes. I just
wanted to get help───"
"After dragging
Kushina into your selfishness, you're running away and leaving him behind? What
are you thinking!!??"
I grabbed the man by
the collar and yelled at him.
"Ugh"
"Why can you make
the choice to run away there!? Why don't you try to use your wits to rescue
him!? Why did you involve Kushina in this mess!!!!"
I gave in to my anger
and pushed the man forward while grabbing his collar.
The man was led by me
as I wanted, all the way to the wall of the building.
"I-I know you're
right to be angry... but, I had no choice but to───"
"Shut up, I don't
want to hear your excuses! Just tell me where the ruins are!"
"Ugh... the place
is───"
I asked the man for
the location of the ruins.
Finally released from
my grip, the man heaved a sigh as if he had been unable to breathe properly
until now.
"W-Wait... that
place is a super dangerous zone with a [Danger Level] of S. Even for someone
like you, going there alone is───"
"Shut up, you
lowlife. I've told you I don't want to hear your opinion."
When he saw me about
to leave the guild alone, he must have realized I was going to rescue Kushina,
so he tried to warn me───but I ignored him.
It's Kushina. He can't
be dead.
But the problem is───that man told Kushina
to "wait."
It's Kushina we're
talking about───he's probably waiting
stupidly in front of the entrance blocked by rubble. Worst case scenario, he
might even be attacked by something and just sit there without retaliating.
Even if that doesn't happen, since he's not moving, there are countless ways to
trap him.
Moreover, the place is
[Danger Level] S.
I was told that the
forest we were originally sent to was also the same rank, but───basically, [Danger
Level] S is a general term for places that are so dangerous that they cannot be
expressed in human terms. In other words, even if it is more dangerous than the
forest, but because people can't measure it in detail, it's represented by the
same [Danger Level] S.
So, it's possible that
the ruins are even more troublesome than the forest.
Physical damage isn't
a problem for Kushina. However, it's a different story if he's immobilized,
such as being buried alive. Due to the nature of Kushina's skills, he's
extremely resistant to injuries, but he's extremely weak when it comes to improving
situations. So, if that happens, even Kushina wouldn't be able to survive on
his own.
This is the worst, the
worst, the worst───This is the result of
me neglecting Kushina just because he's strong.
As expected, he was
used and returned to me in a crisis.
He was such a
promising talent───he was supposed to
become the man of my ideals───if this continues, that miracle will be ruined.
I have to hurry and
rescue him.
I'll deal with that
man later.
Right now, nothing is
more important than Kushina's safety.
I levitated using
magic───and began to fly
towards the coordinates the man had given me.
