"According to your requirements, it can be done in a week."

"Thank you. I'm looking forward to good results. Is the down payment sufficient? ”

"Yes, ma'am. I'll make underwear first. I'll wait for the silk tomorrow. ”

The old tailor bowed and sent the two girls away. Close the door with the familiar ringtone.

Connie glanced at Mori, who was looking down.

"So your nobleman's shop isn't a big deal?"

"Well, yes." She said absentmindedly. "Hmm...... Miss. Do you mind if I ask you something? ”

"Just ask."

"Uh...... Why are you treating me like this? I mean...... It's not that I don't like it, but ...... Usually rich people don't like kids like me. ”

"Because you're honest. You smile when you're happy, and your eyes sparkle when you see gold coins," she said, chewing on a flower. "And you didn't steal anything from me."

"What?"

"Look, Senator. There are some things in this world that I hate. The first ones are those who are trying to kill me or me. The second is the people who lied to me. Third...... Well, hopefully things don't get to that point. Hah"

Sen shuddered. Although she said it so softly, she could feel that the people she hated, no matter what happened, would not be pleasant. A hint of fear welled up in her heart.

"I..."

"Now that you know, will you still guide me?"

"Yes, yes!" She said embarrassedly. "I thought you were a little scary just now...... But I think you're a good man, miss! ”

"Okay. Take me to the blacksmith! ”

Sen smiled and excitedly led the way for her. Connie followed, rubbing her chin and laughing mockingly. "A good man? Couldn't be further from the truth. ”

"Oh, they're closed," Sen said dejectedly.

Connie patted her head soothingly and looked around.

"Are you here for a blacksmith?" A burly woman came from the back of an alley with a basket of clothes in her arms.

"Yes. Do you know where the blacksmith is? ”

"In the capital. Blacksmiths from all over the kingdom were summoned to the royal capital. It was said that the king was planning a big thing. ”

The woman was about to speak when her husband shouted from a nearby house. "Oops, woman! Don't grind! We also have to prepare dinner. ”

"Here it is, you fat man! I'll put this in the room first."

With that, the woman flew into the house and hung them aside.

"What a woman," Connie commented. "Then it can't be helped. It's a pity, I want to order a personal weapon for myself. ”

"I'm sorry," Sen said, looking down and frustrated.

"It doesn't matter. How much time is there now, how about we go to the Hunter's Guild? Then we buy some candy. ”

"Really? Yes! Sen raised his eyebrows in surprise. Wait, Hunters' Guild, Miss? Do you have any requirements? ”

Connie laughed wickedly. "What, do you think I'm not qualified to be a hunter? I am a legit hunter. ”

"Hunter? Just like my sister! ”

"Oh, your sister is a hunter? Yes. She's really strong, you know! But she's out of town a lot these days," she said. Connie noticed the lonely look on her face and patted her on the head.

After a while, Connie and Sen came to a large dome-shaped building. A large sign that reads "Hunter's Guild" has been almost washed away by its age. They can see people wearing different types of armor coming in and out.

Walking through the open door, it's so lively. Especially because there are people with different skin tones and hair colors.

"Hey, isn't that Sen?" A man with a sparse beard and a leather apron shouted as he walked in from one of the rooms.

"Oh, Uncle Hans!"

"You know him?" Connie asked.

"Yes. After my father died, he took care of us. He's a Sanhedrin. ”

"Good afternoon, miss." He nodded lightly to Connie, who nodded slightly. Then he turned to Sen. "What are you doing here, Sen? This is not a safe place for children. ”

"Miss Connie hired me to travel! Business is good! ”

"Business? Little girl, how much do you know about business? He said happily.

"She gave me this!" She said conspiratorily. He saw the yellow flash and quickly covered the coin.

"There's bad guys here," he whispered. "Miss, you too."

Connie waved her hand, dispelling her concerns, and asked, "What's that?" ”

Hans was a little annoyed by being ignored and casually commented. "Ben is teaching newcomers some basics. He's just getting started. ”

"Interesting. Can I join them? ”

"Of course. The basics are open to the public. Let's go inside. Sen, you're with me. Hey, Sen! ”

By the time he could react, Sen had already followed Connie inside.

In a humble room, there are a few chairs and a blackboard in front of it. The attendees consisted of teenagers only, all with hopeful expressions on their faces.

A scruffy-looking hunter in an earthen cloak is talking in front of a blackboard. Slowly and cautiously, he spoke to the hopeful hunter cadets.

"—The world needs magic. Ah, when we kill monsters from it, we gain experience and increase our level. At a certain point, we can change jobs. To do this, we need to go to the temple. ”

"There's a lot of work, and there's a lot of ways to get it. For example, if you join a church knight, you may get a job as a church knight. If you go to a magic academy, you become a mage. Now, though, you need to gain experience. ”

He stopped and tapped the blackboard three times. "Now let's talk about skills. Master Kaibai, please continue. ”

A bald man with a large sun tattoo on his head stood up and bowed slightly to the trainees. "I'm Monk Bai. I'm going to teach you some tricks. ”

"Skills are special moves that we learn as we level up. Some are obtained by mastering weapons, some by leveling up, and some by mastering a combination of these skills. For some people, it is available through books. ”

"What about magic?" A boy sitting in front asked.

"Magic is also a skill. However, only for mages. They possess the ability to command the elements at will, but at the trade, they are not as agile or powerful as thieves or knights. ”

"Now, I'm going to show you one of the basic skills of a monk. Its name is "Mountain Breaker". ”

The man swept his elbow through the air and shouted out the name of the action. A loud bang rang out.

"Oh!" The participants applauded in surprise. There was only one person who didn't.

Connie looked at the monk thoughtfully. Very sloppy. If this is the level of martial arts in this world, then I will pity them. Ha

"Let's go, Sen."

"Huh? It's not over yet. ”

"There's nothing to learn," she whispered.

"Oh, okay."

She silently dragged Mori out of the room. What they didn't know was that Monk Bai glanced at the blonde girl, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

After they returned to the hall, Connie asked Sen to sit in a chair while she lined up behind the task counter. After about 5 minutes, it was her turn.

The person at the counter was a charming girl with bright pink hair tied in a bun. She has a beautiful smile and looks very beautiful in her uniform.

"Good afternoon. My name is Suter. How can I help you? If you're posting a task, you should line up on the other side. This is to claim the mission reward. She said politely

。

"Oh, I'm a registered hunter here. I came here to replace my lost ID. ”

"I—I'm sorry," the girl said confusedly. The woman in front of her is very delicate, but she says that she is a hunter?

She quickly regained her composure and said. "Can you tell me your name?"

"Connie."

"Please wait a minute." She flipped through a book, and her expression seemed to be full of emotion. "I—I'll have to talk to the guild president."

"There's no hurry."

The beauty disappears behind the counter, and a group of rough-looking people break into the guild. The hunters inside all frowned and walked away.

"Who are they?" A new hunter asked.

"They are the C-tier team 'Black Wind'. The brown-haired guy with a sword in his belt is the leader Garay. "They're causing trouble everywhere." A mage replied.

"Aren't the guild guards going to do something?"

"Shh They have a very strong backing. After your beer, let's go. ”

Connie ignored the commotion and flipped through a pamphlet taped to the side of the counter. This is the general rule of the guild. The writing of this world is indeed very similar to that of Western countries. Thankfully, I learned English 300 years ago. Ha.

"Hey! Where's the waiter?! The man named Garrett shouted. I'm here to see her! ”

"Sir. Garay. "You—You can claim your reward here." A male receptionist said. Clearly not one of the smartest people in the guild.

"Huh?! I'm not here to see your ugly face! ”

When Garrett threatens the poor guy, Sen tiptoes over to Connie and tugs at her clothes. "I don't want to get in trouble here."

"I'm still waiting." She said calmly, undisturbed by the tense atmosphere in the hall.

One of Garrett's team members sensed something was wrong and saw Connie nonchalantly leaning against the counter. "Hey Garret, look at her! Beauty! ”

Garrett turned to look at her. Because she had been reading silently on the counter, he didn't notice her, but when he saw her, the burly man was stunned. For a long time, no woman had made his waist feel that way.

He swaggered over to her. "I've never seen you. What to do here? ”

"I'm not interested in you. So shut up. ”

"Huh! Look at this little girl, she looks so strong! It's going to be fun to hear you scream! ”

The man tried to grab her, but Connie was already in the corner of the hall, and Sen was holding her arm. She put her down and looked around. She said in a calm but loud voice. "Is anyone willing to lend a hand?

Every pair of eyes in the room looked away from her.

Garrett and his men laughed. "Hahaha! No one will help you, miss. We have some strong people supporting us! No one in their right mind will help you! ”

"Not even a security guard?"

Connie shrugged exaggeratedly. "Is this the Fuck the Hunters' Guild? A lair of vile cowards who don't even have someone to help two young girls? Bad!. ”

"Stop!" A gruff sound rang out in the hall, accompanied by the sound of a stick slamming heavily on the ground.

"Oh? A man of guts. ”

Master Bai emerged from the room where he was teaching.

"Oh, failed monk!" A Garrett member said.

"There are no fights within the guild. If there are any problems, please take them outside. ”

"Or else? Are you going to fight us? Monk?! ”

The monk didn't answer, his stern eyes had already helped him.

Connie coughed.

"Huh?"

"If you want to fight, I'll bite you."

"Miss—" Shiro began.

She came over and said, "Master Bai, can you guarantee her safety while I play for a while?" ”

"Hmm......" he nodded firmly, and she placed her hand on Sen's shoulder. I don't know how strong you are, but these people are almost level thirty. You should let me handle them. ”

"And then let you have all the fun?" She raised an eyebrow defiantly as she walked out, tapping the pamphlet she had been holding in her hand.

"Boss, I just analyzed her. She's still level 5. ”

"Hey, hey, hey. Good. Let's put on a show for her first, shall we? The first round is mine! ”

Soon, onlookers gathered around. It was a strange sight for a girl with no armor or weapons to face a heavily armed swordsman.

"Hey! Give Miss a weapon! An onlooker shouted.

"Yes. It's not fair!! ”

Connie shook his head as one of the hunters handed her his sword.

"What are the rules?" Connie asked as she folded the booklet into a rectangle.

"There are no rules. It's not a duel. It will be a massacre! ”

"Great. Let's come up together. Connie smiled predatorily, baring her sharp fangs. Garrett's back shuddered.

His first instinct was to lunge forward, his sword aimed at her throat.

Connie didn't leave her place. She poured yin qi into the booklet between her middle and index fingers. She accepts the sword's attack and guides the blade to spin.

"What ——?"

Connie slapped his cheek with her free hand. Enraged, Garrett slammed back, was blocked, and she slapped her again. Again and again, until his cheeks were bleeding and swollen to three times their normal size.

"You, you! Stop playing! Berserk Blade Wave! ”

His sword glowed red, and he slashed down, unleashing wind blades that left a deep wound on the ground. The skill was too strong, and it hurt some onlookers. One of the children hit his head on the cobblestone road.

The old monster looked at the boy, and she remembered something bad. A child inside a collapsed house. She couldn't do anything. Her anger. in the world. to herself. For a moment, her eyes turned terrifying, and a small puff of poisonous gas erupted. The next moment, she reverted to her indifferent expression, as if nothing had happened.

"I was going to slap you away, but now ...... Now I'm going to tear you down. ”

Her body blurred and appeared in front of Garrett. "You don't need this sword."

She flicked his wrist, and his hand immediately lost sensation and the sword fell. "Or this arm." As she spoke, she pressed against his shoulder, sending a wisp of yin qi into his tendons.

The man climbed to his sword, without success. In a fit of rage, he tried again, but failed again. He couldn't muster the strength to hold the handle.

"W-What the hell?!"

"I cut the tendons in your arms. From now on, you can't use a sword or anything heavier than a fork. Ha ha! Take advantage of this opportunity to get an office job. Get an education. Maybe when the time comes, you'll think twice about pointing your sword at a helpless child or a weak girl. ”

She smiled vanityly. "Especially a weak girl like me."

Hearing her words, everyone around the guild gasped. One of them even bit his lip.

His pony angrily attacks Connie. The two men clenched their swords and began to perform their skills, while the mage began to chant.

Connie threw the yin-filled pamphlet directly at the mage. It plunged deep into his mouth, slitting his tongue. Seeing this scene, the swordsmen trembled. The maiden dodged the slashing sword and grabbed their legs, about to tear them apart. However, she glanced at Mori and broke their legs.

Just as they were about to move their legs, they couldn't exert their strength and fell face down.

"Y-What the hell have you done to us?"

"I'm learning to control myself," she said simply.

It's not a fight. The gap in strength and strength is like the gap between an ant and a dragon. She also fights with them in her skirt!

Everyone looked at the girl, and at this moment they could no longer express their feelings in words. Surprised, funny, and frightened all three into one.

"What the hell is going on?!"

A fat man with a grease on his forehead ran out of the guild.

Master Bai spoke. "Garrett and his party challenged Miss and lost."

"Damn it!" Garrett shouted angrily. "Don't think I'll forgive you! We will hunt you and your family and you in front of your family and make you regret that you ever lived!! ”

"Really?" Connie's smile was chilling, chilling in the belly of everyone who saw her. Garret, who was only immersed in anger, could not feel the change in atmosphere.

"Haha! You're dead! ”

"Boss, something happened. She didn't look scared. ”

"What?"

Connie looked down at Garrett. "So, is this a threat to me and my family?" She paused, as if remembering something. "yes. I haven't introduced myself yet. ”

Connie bowed slightly, a masculine posture that didn't seem appropriate when she was wearing her dress.

"Connie Steelheart. Belongs to the Steelheart family. Daughter of Duke Steelheart. ”

Connie raised an eyebrow at Garrett knowingly. "Do you want to play with fire, little one? Then let's play with fire! Can you stand the heat?! ”

"A duke. Boss, that's ......! ”

"That's right. Don't think you can count on him to save you. Run away as fast as you can. Oh, but you can't run, can you? After all, you're all wretched now! She said with a smile. The laughter was full of evil, and the hunters unconsciously reached for their weapons.

After laughing for a few seconds, Connie clapped her hands. "Okay. Guards were called to clean up the garbage. I still have some business to do with the guild. Come on, Sen. ”

She took Sen's smug hand and walked into the guild, ignoring everyone's gaze as if it were hers.
