Rebirth Online World

Episode 7: Nina the thief ①

Kast is the guild branch head of the Resser village. He is dissatisfied with leading a guild in a remote village. He is blinded by greed and asked Hage to extort a small boy named Yu.

Why?

Because he wants Yu to gather herbs for free. It’s either he complied or gets kicked out. Originally Yu should have gotten 9 cooper moon coins but he gives him only a third of it. Because the qualities of the herbs that he brings are superior, the original reward is increased. Seeing that kind of free money, how can he not be blinded by it?

Suddenly, the guild hall door is opened.

“Fat uncle, I’ve come to take what should be mine.”

He saw Yu barging in with a flat expression on his face.

“I want to claim all the rewards that you didn’t give to me.”

Kast thinking hard, “why is his attitude suddenly changed? Why does he act so haughty? If Hage saw him he could be killed.”

Yu takes out something from his back. It was Hages long sword.

“You, how can you get a long sword?” ( does the tool shop sell him a sword? Wait, is that blood on the sword?)

But Yu didn’t say anything. He takes out his guild card and puts it in front of Kast.

“I know that this guild card is fake. I wonder what will happen if I make a complaint to the Guild hall in the capital.”

“Huh? How could you even reach the capital?”

Kast knows he will be in trouble if Yu really makes a complain, but how can a small child like him make a travel to the capital?

“Then, you mustn’t have realized whose sword this is.”

Kast eyes widened when he saw that.

“Did you kill Hage?”

“I don’t have an obligation to give you an answer. Just give me my rewards or I don’t know what might be happening to you.”

Kast is sweating bullets. The cause is a young boy that he wants to exploit, now their positions have been reversed. Because he has a good relationship with Hage, he is using him to threaten Yu. However since Hage is now no longer around and might have been killed by Yu, Kast realized the situation he is in. He silently puts the reward that he cuts off from Yu on the table.

“If only you were being honest from the start.”

While taking the money, Yu didn’t forget to make sure that Kast is feeling deprived in the future. He activated [Depriver] and manages to get [blacksmith Lvl 1] and [alchemy Lvl 1].

He didn’t want to take those skills but he thinks of it as an ‘interest’ from holding back his reward.

“Don’t come again to the guild hall! It’s better when you don’t even come again to the village!”

“Even if you didn’t say that, I don’t want to come again.”

Yu took the back door to exit the village.

“Now, what should I do? If I think again, blacksmith and alchemy may come in handy in the future. It will allow me to craft various things.”

He is thinking while heading home when suddenly, he saw someone. It was the woman that he saw before. But at that time he only saw her from afar.

The woman has fiery red hair and the body is clothed in leather armor. Just in case, Yu looked at her status.

“She is even stronger than Hage? Even her status is better.”

However Yu didn’t know that fate brought them together. They will have a long relationship, but will it be hate or love? This first encounter will determine it.
