Volume 3 Chapter 40 How To Raise A Blasphemer
(Wh-why is Ms. Alium here...?)
For a moment, he doubted his senses, but quickly realized that it couldn't be an illusion.
Alium had wounds all over her body, and she was letting out painful breaths as if suffering.
Even from a slight distance, he could feel her pain, making him instinctively aware that her presence was not a mirage.
But could it be a fake? He had that doubt, but he dismissed it, thinking there was no way he could mistake Alium.
That was definitely Alium Groke herself.
If that's the case, why is she bound like him and imprisoned in such a remote place?
"It took quite a bit of effort to capture her. But I, for the sake of Sir Suisen, did my utmost to catch that receptionist."
Right, he already knew who did this.
This woman kidnapped Alium.
He wasn't sure of her intentions, but he could tell it's not anything good.
However, he couldn't believe that Alium would easily lose.
What kind of trick did she use to capture her? As if sensing his suspicion, Sianna began to speak proudly.
"Summoner Alium. It seems she has the ability to shape monsters and command them with her own Magic. Her strength is said to rival that of a Rank 1 adventurer. But even the formidable receptionist was helpless against the overwhelming 'numbers' of violence."
"N-numbers?"
At that signal, suddenly there was a loud 'Bang!' from the left.
It seemed there was a door there, and a sliver of moonlight was shining through.
At the same time, "a group of men" entered through the door, bringing an eerie atmosphere into the room.
(Who are these guys...?)
Each one of them had a sturdy build and was armed, so they were likely adventurers.
He had the impression that Sianna's fans were mostly women, so he didn't expect to see so many male adventurers surrounding them.
However, it seems they were a different group of people.
"I gathered all the male adventurers who were rejected by that receptionist and are holding a grudge. As a result, quite a number of adventurers have gathered here tonight."
"Wha──!?"
"Of course, I also had my fans help out in trying to capture that receptionist. We did have to make some sacrifices, but in the end, I'm really glad we managed to capture Alium Groke like this."
The male adventurers who had been rejected by Alium.
He had heard that quite a few adventurers faced defeat and gave up on their feelings.
But he never imagined that in just one night, dozens of adventurers would gather.
They probably used their fans for a mass approach.
But what kind of invitation did they use to get people to help capture Alium? What is Sianna's true purpose...?
"W-What are you planning to do...?"
Feeling a strange unease, he asked Sianna with a trembling voice, and she placed her hand on his chin, bringing her face closer.
"After all, Sir Suisen's feelings are only there because of that receptionist's 'purity,' right? So if that is shattered, Sir Suisen should wake up."
"...Huh?"
"And you should notice that there are more wonderful people around you. That the receptionist isn't everything in the world...! That there are earnest and devoted women who care about you so much, Sir Suisen...!"
What is she talking about...? The uneasy atmosphere that Suisen had sensed became a reality, bringing despair.
"R-Really, we can do whatever we want, right!?"
"If we catch Alium, we can do whatever we want with her...!?"
"Wha──!?"
"Yes, please. Feel free to unleash your 'desires' on that receptionist as much as you want."
A vivid smile appeared on the faces of the male adventurers.
Standing before the gruesome sight, Suisen felt a chill run down his spine, his mind flashing to the tragic events that were about to unfold.
"You must be filled with anger and hatred towards that receptionist who humiliated you, so tonight, let it all out on her...!"
The lewd gazes of the male adventurers fixated on Alium, bound and helpless on the platform.
In that instant, Suisen snapped back to reality, flailing his limbs and shouting at Sianna.
"Stop! Please, make it stop! She has nothing to do with this!"
"Please understand, Sir Suisen. This is necessary to wake you up."
Sianna extended her slender fingers and touched his eyelids, forcing them open to peer into his eyes.
"It seems that receptionist is the only one in your sight now, so I'll clear your blurred vision once more. So, please, burn this into your eyes. The moment Alium Groke intertwines with someone other than you!"
"..."
Sianna forcefully turned his face to the left.
The gruesome reality that made him want to close his eyes was forced into his sight, and Suisen bit his lip hard.
(I... got her involved)
He had unknowingly revealed his feelings for Alium to Sianna, not realizing her true nature.
It was his fault for carelessly confessing his love for Alium.
He was a fool for not to see through Sianna's intentions.
"Oh my? Sir Suisen, are you... 'crying'? How... how cute!"
Unbeknownst to him, tears of frustration had been flowing, and Sianna trembled with delight upon seeing them.
She did the unthinkable, licking the tears from his cheek with her tongue, and let out a pleased moan.
"Ahh, so sweet... So very sweet..."
The unpleasant sensation felt distant, like it belonged to another world.
As he stood there, dazed and with tears of regret welling up, Sianna licked his cheek and whispered with a warm breath.
"Please don't be so sad, Sir Suisen. From now on, I will be by your side."
"..."
"I will comfort you as many times as you need, Sir Suisen. So please, rest assured."
Meanwhile, in front of him, the male adventurers surrounded Alium on the stage.
Suisen was filled with despair over the situation he had caused, while quietly burning with anger.
"Stop it...!"
Anger towards Sianna, who had continued to deceive him.
Anger towards the adventurers who harbored Lust for Alium.
And anger towards himself for involving someone important to him.
Amidst the crude laughter of the male adventurers echoing indoors, one man's hand finally reached out towards Alium's body.
"Stop itttt!!!"
With a roar that felt like it could shatter his throat, Suisen gathered all his strength.
The ropes binding him showed no sign of breaking despite his efforts.
However, the wooden chair that had been neglected for years seemed to have rotted, unable to withstand Suisen's force.
With a loud crash, the chair splintered apart.
"──!?"
The adventurers were startled by the impact, and Sianna, who had been leaning against Suisen, widened her eyes in surprise.
As they both fell to the tavern floor, Suisen quickly brought his bound hands forward.
The knot was loose, so he swiftly used his mouth to untie it and threw off the ropes around his feet.
In just a few seconds, Suisen regained his freedom, sprang to his feet, and picked up a fallen wooden stick as he charged towards the adventurers.
"Get away from that person!"
The adventurers, wearing light armor, thought they could avoid trouble by dodging his strikes.
It seemed to work, as they stepped back in surprise.
But...
"Tch, don't get in the way!"
One of the adventurers, feeling provoked by the interruption, clicked his tongue and closed in on Suisen.
With a speed that was almost unnoticeable, they closed the distance, and immediately afterward, a sharp pain struck Suisen in the abdomen.
"Ugh...!"
Blown away by the impact, Suisen looked up at the ground as he rolled.
One of the adventurers was laughing while raising his right leg.
(Was I... kicked? I'm...?)
It was too fast to see at all.
As expected of an adventurer, they seemed to have considerable combat ability.
In contrast, he was a Blasphemer (Weed) without a job class.
He had no chance, not even the size of a raindrop.
But...
"U... Raaahhh!"
Suisen Pride stood up.
Seeing the adventurers reaching out with their evil hands toward his crush, a fierce fighting spirit surged within him.
He swung a wooden stick and threw a bottle at the troublemakers trying to harm Alium.
They countered with swords and spears, but Suisen skillfully dodged their attacks with his agile movements.
"This guy... shouldn't he have a job class...?!"
"Shut up, you weakling!"
Thanks to training with Roezé, his natural physical ability had improved significantly.
With martial arts instruction, he was able to hold his own even with just a wooden stick.
