Fruit of Evolution [LN] Volume 2 – Chapter 4: Template?

Suddenly being called out from behind, I turned around to confirm his identity.

Then, three bad guys who were broadly grinning was there, and was looking at me.

“……Need something?”

For the time being, it’s not good to provoke the other person. As I respond like that, Ellis-san sighed for some reason, and Gassur had a bitter look.

These three …… what the hell are they? I don’t understand the meaning of Ellis-san and the other’s reactions……

Of the three, the leader man-like asked me, who was tilting my head.

“You, seem to be taking the exam now, huh”

“Yes, well……”

“In other words, you’re newcomers?”

“Uhhmm…… that’s what it is.”

When I was confused because I don’t understand the intention of the other party, the leader man smiled even more.

This is…… the so-called 『Newcomer crushing』 huh. I often see it in fantasy novels, like, as a result of giving the protagonist a difficulty, he will fight back at their own game, that ……

I’m not a protagonist as I see it, and in this case, I think they didn’t like taking a beautiful girl like Saria to a newcomer, right?

The leader man says to me, who guesses this and that.

“You …….can I lend you a little”

Yes, here it is————! It’s a template, I understand.

But their motive is completely unknown, though. At the very least, I would like to know their clear reason, but……

“Err …… why?”

It can’t be helped it, so I decided to ask. I don’t want to follow them for no particular reason.

But the man’s response to my question were unexpected to me.

“That’s …… I can’t say it here.”

“Eh”

Wait. What will they do to me? Is it something that is eye-catching that they’re afraid of what may others think. Will they viciously beat me up. I’m very scared, though.

No matter how hard I inwardly tsukkomi, the men have no sign of withdrawing. Well, I did not tsukkomi with my mouth, so it’s natural that that they didn’t they wiuthdraw, though……

However, since it’s really troublesome, let’s refuse here once and for all.

“Err…… I’m sorry, but I refuse.”

“You bastard has no power to refuse.”

Areee? That’s strange…… I didn’t think it would be denied quickly ~? Where did my human rights go.

I don’t think I can do anything more than this, so I just have to rely on Gassur, the guild master, and ask for help.

“Uhmm …… Gassur. Please do something about this situation.”

“Resign yourself”

“Too fast!?”

Why does he have to declare that as I ask for help, to give up immediately. I don’t know why.

“You’re the Guilmas*, right? Do something!” (TN: Short form of Guild master)

“I don’t have such dignity!”

“It’s no good anymore!”

You’re useless! Even if you’re the Guild master, you have no dignity…… Quit being a Guilmas!

“Ellis-san! Please do something about this! There’s a newcomer involved!?”

I couldn’t help it, so I decided to ask Ellis-san, who seems to be more reliable than Gassur. However, Ellis-san’s response was also ruthless.

“I’m sorry, but…… please give up.”

“Why!?”

What do you mean!? Why do you guys mean to give up!?

I turn my face to the guild to see if there’s anyone else who I can ask for help, but some are still immersed in their own world, and those who are looking at me before I know it were, saying to me 『No matter what you say, it’s useless …… give up』 appealing with their eyes.

I don’t understand what this means anymore! What the hell exactly are these three people!? Are they so strong that no one can stop them!?

To me who has no idea of what to do, Ellis-san gives me some advice.

“It will seem to hurt at first, but …… it’s going to feel good sooner or later.”

“That’s opening a new door!?”

I am not an M! If the pain turns into pleasure, it’ll be too late!

I don’t like to go after the guys in front of me more and more.

However, I suddenly thought calmly.

I was thinking on the premise that it would be full of beating, but isn’t it unlikely with my status?

It may be perhaps, but even if the men in front of me attack with all their might, I have confidence that I will be unscathed.

That much, is my current status strongly soar.

I don’t want to bother Saria, and …… I have no choice but to follow them.

The other person says he doesn’t like this place, and I also want to avoid conspicuous behavior. …… I think I’m already prominent in my robe, though.

“……I understand. I’ll follow you. “

“Come with me”

“I, I too————”

“Saria, wait here with Gassur and the others. I’ll finish this right away.”

Saria was about to follow me, but I hold her back with a gentle voice.

However, Saria looks uneasy.

“Bu,but……”

I’m grateful to Saria for worrying about me so much, but I absolutely don’t want Saria to get involved. Of course, I have confidence that I can protect her, and Saria also boasts a great fighting power if she transformed, so it’s okay, but …… While thinking about such a thing, I try to persuade her again, but before that happens, the leader man opened his mouth.

“Woman. You’re not coming. You’re going to get in the way.”

I couldn’t hide my surprise when I heard the man’s remarks.

A,a’re? Isn’t it more convenient to have a normal girl, like Saria, be with me?

Thinking about it, they want to see my body completely beaten, that’s what they’ll usually do, what happens after that?

I can’t help but be puzzled, because I don’t know what was the men’s purpose.

However, the men started walking towards the door, without a care about me.

“Oi, follow me”

“Ye,yes”

When I tried to follow them in a hurry, Gassur, who was useless, opened his mouth.

“Keep your mind. You have Saria-kun. Never yield your heart ……!”

“As I said, what do you mean!?”

Finally with that Tsukkomi, I left the guild.

◇◆◇

“They’re gone huh……”

“Gassur-san, why haven’t you stop them?”

“It can’t be helped …… It’s to protect my chastity ……!”

“…… You’re really the worst.”

“Hahahaha! It’s for my muscles!”

“I don’t understand what you mean…… It can’t be helped. Let’s find an adventurer of B class or higher for now.”

I don’t know that such an exchange, was taking place in the guild after I left.

◇◆◇

“It’s fine around here”

The place where the three brought me was in the back alley, far away from the guild.

This is, definitely a flag that they’ll beat the hell out of me. There is no sign of people around. The men surrounded me with a high level of vigilance before I knew it.

“Now then…… do you know why we brought you here?”

“……Well”

I don’t know the reason, but they probably beat me to a pulp.

But the only miscalculation of these guys is that my ability is a monster-class.

And for some reason, the men smiled when they heard my reply.

“Is that so …… then the story will be quick. Shall we hurriedly do it?”

After saying that, the leather armor that the leader guy was wearing was suddenly took off, and he unbuttoned all the jackets that he was wearing.

With that as a start, the remaining two people also become shirtless.

Why did they remove their equipment? Perhaps, they’re getting serious? To a newcomer like me?

If these men are serious about not wearing armor, why do they bother to equip it?

When such a question mark flies in my head, I wondered if the leader-like man had sensed my feelings.

“What…… You didn’t know?”

“Eh? Ye,yes”

“Geez …… It can’t be helped ……”

The leader man suddenly turns his face into a serious one, and says so.

“Wanna do it?”

“……………………”

…………………….

…………….

……Eh?

It’s strange …… did I misheard it? Just now, I felt like the man in front of me was asking me, 『Wanna do it? 』……

HAHAHA! I’m sure it’s just my misunderstanding! That’s right, it’s settled!

I can’t stop sweating, but the man with yareyare …… let his shirt fully open with one of his hands.

“Wanna do it?”

“Ah——————”

I should’ve just misunderstood iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitt!

I wanted it to be a misunderstanding, but these people, seem to love men.

I should be proud of my overwhelming status, but I was scared of the three people in front of me.

Then, the men continue to pursue further.

“I’m a heterosexual person who eats straight regardless, you know?”

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!”

Someone…… someoneeeeeeeeeee! Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I scream desperately, and ask for help. But worst of all, there’s no one around in this place.

“Don’t worry. It’ll hurt for a moment. After that …… hey?”

“Please stoooooooooop! I don’t like that feeling!!”

“That’s what people say at first…… but, they’re just hiding their true nature! Like these guys!”

“”Ehehe! It’s good!””

“Are you victims!?”

No way, these guys can’t do anything ……! in the Guild headquarters, they can do whatever they want!

Isn’t there an urgent to leave immediately with this!? I don’t like this place anymore!

The Guild branches in other countries, may not have these perverts like the guild headquarters. Claude even, said that we should stop to register here.

…… wait, such a thing doesn’t matter! How to escape this situation now is the first thing!

While desperately searching for an escape route, the men approached me with their hands itching to grab me, approach while they were drooling, and/or approach while shaking their hips, and anyway, it’s scary! It’s already horrific!

When I moved backwards, I was cornered to the wall before I knew it.

“It was your bad to recklessly follow us. …… Resign yourself!”

“No waaaaaaaaayy!”

What to do …… what to do, me!?

…… Needless to think, in this place…… I have no choice but to break through!

When I decided so, I release the power that I was suppressing at once.

My appearance and atmosphere haven’t changed at all. That’s why my status, which the opponent can see, is also low. However, due to 『Ability Camouflage』, I can exert my utmost without being suspected by the other party.

That’s why ————

“I’ll escape with all my might!”

“What!?”

I run up the wall at the back of me.

Fight? Physiologically impossible.

I chose to run away with all my might. Besides, even if I hit them, it would be a problem if rumors came up after that.

While thinking about such a thing, I suddenly noticed something.

…… Uwah…… I’m running on the wall, I ……

I draw back lightly to such specs of mine. When I’m feeling weary, I heard the voices of men from behind.

“That leg strength …… I think that’s amazing in many ways!”

“Ah …… that body is oursssssssssssssssss!”

“Never let him go! Chase…… chase himmmmmm!”

Yes, let’s not hear it. And, let’s forget all the events that happened earlier. That’s good.

I moved on the roof, while paying attention at them, and eventually returned to the guild.

“I think I’ll be back to the guild again in a while……”

However, as long as I am in this country, I will definitely meet those guys…… I wonder if peace will come to me while I’m in this country.

“Ah, I don’t like this……”

It would be unavoidable for me to say so unintentionally. Because I’m straight. No matter what anyone says, I’m normal. I want you to believe that.

There’s no help if I get depressed near the guild like this, so I regained my mind and stepped back into the guild.

Then, as usual, the inside of the guild is chaotic, and I still can’t see a decent guy.

Although I was inwardly astonished, Gassur and the others are still at the reception desk, so I move to that place.

“Mu? Oh! You were safe!”

“I’m glad desuwa……”

As soon as they saw me, Ellis-san and Gassur looked deeply relieved.

“No, well, somehow…… Gassur, I understand why you told me to resign myself.”

“Is that so. By the way, they do that every time a new male adventurer visits this place, so you should be careful in the future.”

“No, stop them.”

“I had stopped them many times……. However, if I say so persistently, then this time, I’ll be in danger ……”

A shivering Gassur, I couldn’t think of it as pitiful. Those guys, if those men are your opponent, then they’ll be the strongest. I don’t want to fight them either. During the battle, I’m likely to be touched all over my body……

“I also have to devote myself …… They will sooner or later, screw down with my muscles!”

“Well …… do your best”

I could only react like that, and when I was smiling wryly under my robe, someone pulled my robe.

When I turned my face in that direction, Saria was staring at me with a worried look.

“Seiichi, were you, all right?”

“Oh. You were worried.”

While saying that, I somehow stroked Saria’s head. Saria’s hair, is smooth and very comfortable to touch. Such Saria who I was stroking leans a little ticklish, but she squinted and laughed pleasantly.

…… Uwah. I thought Saria was cute with all my might just now. When I’m with Saria, I feel like I’m speaking fondly of her almost unconditionally.

Well, now that I’m feeling so scared, there was no doubt that that the only being named Saria heals my heart.

When a flower field floats lightly around Saria and me, Ellis-san called out.

“Seiichi-san. Regarding the test supervisor I mentioned earlier ……”

“Ah, yes.”

“Just now, I’ve searched for B-class and above adventurers in this guild. That’s……”

“……?”

I tilt my head to Ellis-san, who is strangely biting her words. What on earth is it. When I was confused by Ellis-san’s reaction, Gassur told us.

“Uumu ……. Seiichi-kun and Saria-kun, have you just come into this country?”

“Eh? Ah”

“Currently, there’s only one B-class or higher adventurer in this place.”

“Then that person is fine. Is there any problem?”

“Problem…… It’s not so much, but…… Hey? Ellis-kun”

“That’s right…… we can’t do anything about this.”

“?”

Not knowing the meaning of their conversation, both I and Saria tilted our necks further. Who the hell are you talking about?

…… Huh!? Perhaps, I think they’re going to say that it was the homosexual people I were with earlier!? If so…… I’m determined to leave this place with all my might.

When the terrifying prediction crosses my head, and naturally shaking my body, Gassur called the name which would be that person.

“It can’t be helped. We only have her———— Altria-kun! Altria-ku-n!”

It was the moment when Gassur called her name so.

Until now, the adventurers who had left themselves to their own desires even when I was entangled with the homosexuals, have stopped moving all at once.

And, everyone turns their eyes to one place. Those lines of sight, seems somewhat awkward.

I also followed everyone’s gaze, and checked who was beyond that.

What was there, was a woman with a wild cut of silver hair that was stretched to the shoulders, with short sleeves and short pants. She is equipped with a breastplate and back-hand guard that was made up of unknown material, and she was standing in front of the bulletin board.

“Tsu!”

“Wah……”

The moment I saw the face of the woman called Altria, Both I and Saria involuntarily got fascinated with her.

Possessing sharp, long-slits red eyes, reminiscent of a beast somewhere. her skin isn’t pure white like Saria and Ellis-san, but it’s a healthy tanned skin. She’s faraway, but she’s probably quite tall for a woman.

And above all, her breast that was tightly pressed down with the breastplate. Overall, she has very good proportions.

In conclusion, the woman Gassur called was a beautiful brown-skinned woman.

“…… What is it?”

She approaches us, while opening her mouth a little annoyingly.

However, Gassur continues without hesitation to such a girl.

“Well, there are new person who wants to register with the guild this time! I’d like to ask you to be the test proctor.”

“That kind of thing, do that with another guy instead of me. Both you and Ellis know that, right”

“Uhhm …… that’s true, but ……”

Amazing. For the first time, I saw a woman who called herself 『Ore(I)』. I mean, I wonder what she means by know that. (TN: In japan, women usually refer to herself as ‘watashi’, for men it’s ‘boku’ or ‘ore’)

“However right now, you’re the only adventurer of B class or above in this place. At this rate, I will never be able to give a guild card to the newcomers.”

“Then, you should wait until the other B-class and above guys come back. You don’t have to go out of your way to choose me.”

“But ……”

Ellis-san continued, as Gassur was chewing his words.

“Unfortunately, the people other than Altria-san, everyone have gone to the other countries. Even if they have gone to the nearest country, it’ll take at least one month to come back …… Besides, no one is likely to go up to B-class.”

“……”

Altria-san involuntarily shuts her mouth, in Ellis-san’s words.

And after a short pause, she turned her gaze towards me.

“Hey bastard. You don’t want me to be your test supervisor, right?”

“Eh? Why is that?”

To her question that doesn’t make sense, I involuntarily tilt my head.

However, she expressed surprise reaction, perhaps because my response was unexpected.

“You bastard…… are you sane?”

“No …… I’m no insane …… right?”

“That’s right!”

I tried to throw it to Saria, but it seems that Saria also does not know why the woman reacts like that.

Gassur says to Altria-san, when he sees me seriously puzzled.

“They’ve just came here. Isn’t it reasonable that they do not know Altria-kun?”

“But …… I, am A class. I thought I was recognized to some extent, but ……”

“Isn’t it fine for the details! Please take over them, Altria-kun!”

“As I said ————“

“Moreober they might be okay with your constitution, you know?”

“……”

Nn? Constitution? I don’t really know what that is. They leave me and Saria, and their conversation goes on without us having knowledge of.

“…… What basis are you saying that?”

Altria-san makes a terrifyingly low voice.

However, Gassur doesn’t seem to care about that at all, and smiles cheerfully.

“That kind of thing…… it would be no other than my muscles! My body, is the biggest reason! Do you think that there’s a better reason than this!?”

I think that’s absolute. Rather, isn’t there too many problems with that? Muscles cannot even be the reason. Involuntarily turning half-closed eyes, I inwardly quip.

However, Altria-san sat down on a nearby chair, after looking at Gassur with a serious expression.

“…… I get it. That test supervisor story, I’ll take that.”

She appears to have become our test supervisor. For the time being, as I thought that the exam would be safe with this, Altria turned to us, and began to introduce herself.

“My name is Altria Grem.”

And with a sad expression ———

“Altria the 《Disaster》.”

——— told us so.
