A boy who was disowned because he was second in everything, is unknowingly unmatched
"Ummmm Thank you for helping me!"(Maki)
"No, don't worry about it, anyone would have done the same in that kind of situation and I might have looked somewhat strange "(Cleo)
"That's not the case ... Cleo-san, you were cool !!"(Maki)
With her cheeks red, the girl-Maki said so.
Long hair with light pigment and round blue eyes. The girl with a young face, whose height does not reach my shoulders, has been saying thank you many times since yesterday.
I haven't done much, so I feel sorry when she says that.
With a bitter smile, I scratched my cheek.
The day after the turmoil. Our party, including Maki, were having a gathering in the guild's lounge.
"I'm glad you didn't get hurt for the time being."(Cleo)
"Yes, thank you !! Oh, but--"(Maki)
Maki, who holds her fist in front of her chest, nods to my words.
However, as soon as she was finished nodding she mumbles with her head down.
"Mr Gown was very angry. And ..."(Maki)
"Ah, Yes."(Cleo)
When I hear the girl's words, I remembered about yesterday.
It happened after that man-Gown roared.
◆
The man who called himself Gown was a strong man who would be taller than two men.
He wears heavy equipment on a muscular body and there is a deep scar on his harsh face, it was enough to scare any opponent he faced.
Still, I can't pull out of this anymore.
"No, I don't know anyone here . Still, I can't ignore this little girl!"(Cleo)
"What !? This kid wants something from the great me...!"(Gown)
He stands up and approaches us.
The girl behind me screamed in fear. I ask, trying to guard her.
"What happened here ? Either way let's solve it through discussion."(Cleo)
"Uruze! It's me who decides that. Maki there, I acted without listening to my instructions at all!"(Gown)
"…………that is!"(Maki)
After mumbling to that point, Maki screams.
"Because in that situation, it would have been best to withdraw and recover with my healing magic! And yet, Mr Gown forcibly rushed everyone--"(Maki)
"Shut up! You cheeky little girl!"(Gown)
"Aah...!"(Maki)
Gown interrupts the girl's words and raises his fist again.
Maki was crouching and trembling, holding her head. I break in between them again.
"Please stop! Why are you getting get so crazy !?"(Cleo)
"The leader of this party is me !! They are all just my pawns! So it doesn't matter who dies !! There are many others who will be glad to take their place !!"(Gown)
"Do you think that's right ...!?"
And I was utterly disappointed by his words.
That's just bullshit. Life is not something that can be treated so lightly. Moreover, I didn't think it was a leader's statement that the lives of his colleagues should be considered pawns.
I looked at the people in the back who seem to be his companions.
Then they said nothing, turned their eyes away, and bowed their heads down.
"Look, Maki is the only one complaining. The only rule here is me!"(Gown)
"That's funny !!"(Cleo)
"Ah !? Outsiders don't talk about our party!"(Gown)
"Ku ...! If so--"(Cleo)
I couldn't stand it.
I may not have been in the calmest of my mind.
Still, I declared without hesitation.
"This child-Maki will join my party! And I will apply for a match against you!"
I look straight, glaring at the man's face.
"If you lose, please release everyone else !!"(Cleo)
◆
As expected, the challenge was accepted.
My party and Gown's party will be having a match in the near future.
"But is that okay? Cleo-san ..."(Erio)
"Sorry, Erio-san, Keane for getting you to also involved in this."(Cleo)
"No, it's fine. You are the leader of this party."
when I apologized, he shook his head from side to side and spoke to me
Erio nods to affirm as well. Still, it seems that Keane has some other concerns as well. He gulped and said:
About the adventurer named Gown.
The certain index that shows his strength ...
"Gown Orzar. He is--"(Keane)
While frowning his eyebrows.
"He-s an 'SS rank' adventurer."(Keane)
TL Note- New Volume first villain, seems op so let's watch Cleo and his party overcome it and also share your experience by commenting on and join our discord server
Well... he's second to all the SSS-ranked people who are all somehow in the same year.
