Master’s Smile

“Ha-HAHAHA…! Like you can do that…!”

Those were the first words that came out from Reel’s mouth.

Right in front of his eyes, is a woman in the form of a ninja who has been releasing a dreadful bloodlust.

That woman is someone who temporarily joined the grey guild recently.

As they are members of a grey guild where the amount of female members are already inevitably small, there were a lot of people who turned their lustful eyes on her.

And the same goes for Reel as well.

Perhaps because of being wary of having to be in a grey guild, Sorglos always wore a shinobi attire to not expose her skin while looking uninterested around her.

Her judgement was correct. If she had worn a light-dressed outfit which a female adventurer in a regular guild would normally do, it wouldn’t be strange for her to be deprived of her dignity in the guild.

No, even without exposing her skin at all, a few men had tried making a pass on her.

A moderately grown breast that can be seen even from the top of her attire.

Maybe due to her being proud of her own physical ability, she also leans her buttocks upwards nonchalantly.

If she displayed such a thing, the grey guild members which just consists of ruffians won’t even stay silent from the very beginning.

Several men had approached her and then, disappeared.

Reel didn’t quite understand why they disappeared.

He could only think that they were all too shaken and heartbroken.

That was because he doubted the grey guild members who are already used to fighting would lose to a woman who has a thin figure and looks nothing except weak.

“(But……)”

Looking at Sorglos’ behavior a moment ago, he was reminded that he was wrong.

The two guys who were grabbing the man Sorglos called Milordーーーthough, he’s called Master nowーーーwere beheaded by her in an instant.

Even for the B-class adventurer, Reel himself, was confused with what just happened before his eyes.

However, when he saw Sorglos happily hugging the man with slight tears in her eyes while looking apologetically, he understood that she had killed them.

Sorglos had killed them with a speed that noone can see even for Reel who boasts being the strongest member of the grey guild and proud of his power.

Fear and terror instantly ran down from Reel’s spine after just looking at her.

“Don’t fuck with me!”

His angry voice was directed at Sorglos, who had killed two of his guild members, but the most part of it was directed at himself.

He couldn’t forgive himself having to be even a little frightened of such a woman.

“ーーーThat’s my line.”

Sorglos responded to Reel’s monologue.

She regretfully released her head from her master’s chest and stared at him fixedly.

Overlooking not only him but all the guild members here.

“No matter what you do to me, I would overlook it if it does not exceed the limit. However, I won’t forgive anyone of you who touch Master even if it’s only one finger. Indeed… No forgiveness…!”

“ーーーーー!!”

Reel grabbed his sword towards her.

This is not because he wants to attack immediately.

He just wanted to put a sword between himself and a more powerful enemy to ease his own feelings.

“You can’t protect yourself with something like that, you know?”

Sorglos looked at Reel as if she’s truly disgusted by him.

Her eyes were clearly looking down on him.

“Hah! Puttin’ up a brave front, eh?”

“Well, not really. It will be an easy task to kill everyone of you.”

“O’? Wise word coming from ya’!”

“Better for ya’ to not make us mad, ya’ hear!?”

Did they finally come to reality after having to see their two guild members were killed?

More members other than Reel started to stand up and surrounded both Sorglos and her master with their weapons.

“Finish off that guy and we can go have some fun with Sorglos-chan!”

“I know without ya’ even telling me!”

Saying so, the two grey guild members laughed aloud.

To them, it wasn’t for revenge.

Of course, even though they have a sense of fellowship, they still think that they are lucky as they are being given an opportunity to make the prize beyond their reach called Sorglos their own.

After all, they are a grey guild.

Though, they are still a little better than “Yelquchira”.

Sorglos glared at the two of them.

She’s not angry about herself.

She’s angry with what the two had said about her master.

It was at this moment Sorglos decided that she will give them a painful death.

“But hold yer’ horses, wasn’t it yer’ own carelessness that yer’ important so-called master was caught?”

Sorglos twitched from Reel’s words.

Then, she exhaled a long breath.

“It is vexing to admit, but it’s just as you said. I’ll beg Master for forgiveness and give Master the privilege to mess me up later.”

No, I don’t need that privilege.

Master refused with a smile. Though, there is a cold sweat on his cheeks.

Sorglos poked her elbow on Master’s side, saying “Oh you~”.

What do you mean by that?

“Well, it means that it’s still not enough to beg for your forgiveness with just that. Let’s think of what to do next after I kill all of them.”

“HAHAHAHA! Like I said, Can ya’ even kill us with this number?”

This time, Reel laughed from the bottom of his heart at Sorglos’ words.

Looking at her surroundings, there are at least more than ten members who has a threatening atmosphere.

Each of them are ruffians who have become accustomed to fighting between humans.

Even if Sorglos killed two people in an instant, there is no way she can beat this number.

Yes, even though they were thinking something like that…

“―――――― It wouldn’t even take five minutes to finish off everyone of you, you know?”
