Episode 8: Nina the thief ②

“ugh! Ugh!”

Under the blue sky, a dull thud sound and a groan can be heard.

“My name is Nina levers. I’m a thief from Vivid village. I saw a boy starting from a month ago. He was being treaded badly by the villagers. The villagers were throwing rocks at him trying to kick him out. However at that point his eyes are directed to me. Because of my [awareness] i found out his name, Seto Yu. But, it got nothing to do with me.”

“ugh! Ugh!” (TL Notes: apparently our MC is still being thrown rocks.)

“I came to this village after I ran away from Vivid village. The party that I teamed up with was trying to ‘attack’ me in a dungeon. I think they had planned it from the beginning, judging by their lustful eyes. Being an adventurer requires me to be involved in a party, but a woman adventurer is rare so I always end up with some men. That day after I barely escaped, they accused me and kicked me out of the village. I think I have the same eyes as that boy back then.”

“Ugh.. Aaaw!”

“I know how painful it is to be treated so badly.”

Today, they met again on the small road.

“Are you seeing grandma Stella?”

“What? You have a problem?”

Yu remembered the people in the Guild were saying something about Stella. Did they force her to work? Is that the reason she seemed to have overworked herself? Or did she hurt her?

“You! What have you done to grandma? Apologize!”

“What? I don’t want to do it.”

The only thing that could make Yu furious are the things involving Stella. He loves her like his own grandmother.

Yu didn’t care about their strength differences. He grabbed Nina on her waist and put down her pants.

“What? Is he going to ‘attack’ me like the guys from Vivid village?”

Nina was startled. She certainly have a trauma because the Vivid village guys ‘attempt’.

“Because grandma Stella says that I have to be kind to women, I’ll just do this for now.”

Yu moved his hand and slapped her bottom.

(TL Notes: I didn’t believe this. Did I mistranslate it somehow?)

“it hurts!”

It was a strength that couldn’t be coming from a boy. The pain and the shame, it was unbearable.

“Hey cowgirl, I’ll only say it once. Leave grandma Stella alone.”

After that Yu ran away as fast as he could.

“Why did he call me cowgirl? Is it because of my chest? How dare he do this to me. I’ll make him apologize!”

When Yu arrived home, Stella asked about Nina. When he explained what happened.

“WHAT DID YOU DO?”

He learned about something called ‘fear’ from Stella.

After some time has passed, he talked to her meekly.

“Grandma, I want to buy a saw, hammer and nails.”

He has to ask her because the villagers won’t sell him anything.

“Are you going to make something?”

“yeah, you will definitely be pleased.”

“Oh! I’m looking forward to it.”

He still has some money from the rest of gathering herbs, for the time being he wanted to make a bath in the house. If he has access to water it will be easier for him to practice blacksmithing later. There’s a spring nearby so it won’t be a big problem.

For increasing alchemy, he needs to have the correct ingredients before he could refine a potion. He also needs to learn about the recipe. Seeing no way to learn about the recipe, from tomorrow he will go hunting goblins, practice magic and create the bath.
