“You seemed like someone who wasn’t interested in conversation just now.”
“I am not.”
Nux was honest.
“What a coincidence. I am the same.
I do not wish to talk to you.
Leave.”
“I didn’t know I needed to cater to you in order to get a mission.”
Nux frowned.
According to the Skeleton’s memories, this woman simply handed the ‘special’ missions to whoever came to her.
“You don’t.
You just aren’t eligible to take the special missions.”
“Why?” Nux frowned.
“Go to the enquiry counter if you have any queries.”
The woman shrugged, pointing towards a different counter without even looking at Nux.
“…”
Nux stood in silence.
However, the woman had had enough.
“Leave, you are blocking the line.”
“There is no one else besides me standing her-”
Nux wanted to say it, soon, however, he sensed around 3 beings standing behind him. He turned around and frowned.
The three of them weren’t here just now, Nux actually saw them drinking at a different table when he entered, even now, when they stood behind him, it didn’t seem like they were here to get a mission.
However, before Nux could say anything,
“Leave, unlike you, I am eligible for special missions.”
The man standing in front smiled widely, looking at Nux with a face full of mockery, the two standing behind him were the same.
The three of them seemed related to each other, at the very least, they were of the same race. Their faces resembled a lion, they had a muscular frame, and a red body. They looked like close-distance warriors.
“Indeed, don’t block the line.”
“Tsk, newbies these days. Can’t believe they move around so oblivious to their surroundings.”
“I guess that is what happens when you have too much free time on your hands.”
The three started laughing.
It wasn’t just them, some others were the same. They seemed to be enjoying the show.
Nux’s frown deepened.
He could sense that these people were targeting him intentionally.
Honestly, he was very much capable of getting rid of them now…
However…
He didn’t want to cause a scene in this place, the people here weren’t a problem, however…
Nux glanced above.
He could sense several strong auras above.
‘Primordials.’
And unlike the Primordial he faced back in that Lowest Level World, all of them were strong, even stronger than Primordials back in Yrniel.
Nux wasn’t sure he could defeat them even if he fought them in a one-on-one battle and if all of them jumped at him together…
Even escaping would be difficult.
So although there was no rule here that said you couldn’t fight inside, he wanted to avoid commotion.
‘Let’s meet outside.’
He decided, remembering the faces of the three who stood behind him.
As he left, the first in line walked towards the counter, leaned forward towards the woman’s desk and,
“I saved you there, didn’t I?”
“What? Do you want me to thank you then?”
“Would you rather continue talking with that one then?” The man laughed.
“Alright alright, I give up.
Thank you for coming and saving me from being affected by the lord of boredom, my brave hero~”
The woman spoke dramatically.
The two standing behind the man laughed, the man shook his head as well.
“Anyways, what are you doing this evening?”
“Hmm? Are you hitting on me?”
“Depends.
Do you like it?”
“Ehh…”
The conversation continued and Nux, who was listening to everything felt his mouth twitching.
‘And I have too much free time on my hands?’
Soon, however, he calmed himself and decided to walk towards the counter the woman pointed at. He wouldn’t be here for long anyway; nothing here should affect him.
Thinking about that, Nux glanced at the man sitting at the counter, unlike most men here, this one had a slender physique and a clean face. Honestly, he didn’t even look like he could fight. He looked like someone most people would pick on.
Of course, since Nux wasn’t interested in knowing if that was true or not, he just walked towards him, wanting to know how one can get special missions.
From the Skeleton’s memories, he only knew that the woman in that counter gave special missions, he didn’t know how he would become eligible for one. After all, the Skeleton himself never did a special mission. They were known for being dangerous.
The man, who saw Nux walking towards him sighed.
He had overheard the conversation just now so he could tell what sort of person Nux was, and just like the woman, he wasn’t thrilled to talk to him.
Of course, this didn’t mean he could just ignore him. He had to do what he was paid for, therefore, he prepared himself and nodded his head at Nux as a form of greeting, but suddenly, Nux paused and then,
He turned around and left the building.
The man sitting behind the counter felt his mouth twitching. The people around him who noticed what happened couldn’t help but laugh.
“He’s an interesting one, that’s for sure.”
Another man sitting behind the counter next to him commented.
“I hope I don’t have to see his face again.” The man who was ‘ignored’ by Nux replied.
“Don’t worry, ones with attitude like that usually don’t last long.” His friend replied and the man nodded, forgetting about Nux after cursing him a few more times.
…
On the other hand, Nux, who just left a building walked into another building and rushed towards the counter.
“How can I-”
“I need a room.”
Before the person could finish, Nux demanded as he placed 8 coins on the table.
These coins were the currency here, he got them from the ones Skeleton and his friends.
“A-Alright. Room 206 is available.”
Seeing that the man seemed to know the price of rooms, he simply gave him the keys and as if he knew where the said room was, Nux took the keys, walked towards the room and the moment he entered,
“What is it?”
He questioned.
‘Riona moved.
She should be waking up pretty soon.’
He heard the words he wanted to hear the most.
