Chapter 3-18 : Confronting The Muscle-Brain (part 1)
Before Mylia could leave the mansion with Jasmine, Aaron and Alex, who just returned home, entered the living room.
They were taken aback as if they encountered a ghost when they saw Mylia and Jasmine floating in the air.
Their clothes were dirty with soil and blood, indicating that they returned from hunting.
ïŒGeh, they saw me! They havenât changed at all. The muscle-brain looks grumpy and the perverted man looks disgusting as alwaysâŠ!ïŒ
Mylia hugged Jasmine tighter as she saw those men.
ăMyliaâŠ? What the hell are you doing here!? How can you float like that!? Are you using magic!?ă(Aaron)
Aaron looked so confused.
With an irritated expression, he stepped closer and looked up at Mylia and Jasmine who were floating in the air.
His threatening face and muscular body made him look like the leader of a bandit group.
ăâŠâŠ.ă(Mylia)
Mylia didnât know how to respond, so she decided to act as the absent-minded Mylia for now.
ăYes, Iâm using magic, and with my magic, I will take Jasmine onee-sama to the royal capital.ă(Mylia)
Saying that, Mylia concentrated on her magic, trying to leave the place, but then Aaron shouted.
ăWait! What are you gonna do with Jasmine!?ă(Aaron)
ăShe will forget about you and live happily in the royal capital. Goodbye~ă(Mylia)
ăWaaaaiit!!! Listen to what people say!!!ă(Aaron)
ïŒHuh? How can the person who never listens to people say that?ïŒ
Mylia turned her face down and glared at Aaron.
ăI donât know what trick you used but you became a Dragon Slayer, didnât you!? Iâll never forgive you if you forget to return the favor to your father for raising you!ă(Aaron)
ăReturn the favorâŠ?ă(Mylia)
ïŒHe indeed raised me but has he ever done anything nice to me? No⊠He never treated me like his daughter. He didnât even provide me with proper clothes and enough food.ïŒ
Mylia glared at Aaron who shamelessly talked about favors with sharp eyes.
It seemed that Aaron wanted to say that Mylia was able to live until now thanks to him.
Itâs not totally wrong but it was all for his own benefit. After all, he only saw Mylia as a tool to get what he wanted.
ăMylia, I think itâs enough⊠You will make Father angry. Please put me down.ă(Jasmine)
Jasmine whispered to Mylia.
She was frightened by Aaronâs loud angry voice.
ăDonât worry, Onee-sama. You can leave it to me.ă(Mylia)
ăWhat are you whispering about!? Stop ignoring me!ă(Aaron)
ăItâs none of your business. Anyway, I donât know what you mean by returning the favor.ă(Mylia)
ăCanât you even think with your small brain!? I know you got a lot of gold coins when you became a Dragon Slayer! Iâm telling you to give them to me!ă(Aaron)
ïŒSmall brain, he said!? I know Iâm not smart like Chloe onee-chan, but being insulted like that by a muscle-brain like him pisses me off!ïŒ
After telling her what he wanted from her, Aaron stepped even closer to Mylia.
Mylia then immediately flew backward to keep her distance.
Seeing Mylia avoiding him, Aaron clicked his tongue as his face turned red out of anger.
ăMylia-chan, anyway, would you get down? It would be bad if you fell. Come, Iâll catch you both~ă(Alex)
Alex, who joined the conversation, spread his arms and looked at Mylia with creepy eyes.
ïŒHiiiiyyyăŒ! Heâs so disgustingâŠ!ïŒ
Mylia frowned and looked away from Alex. She completely ignored him.
Meanwhile, Jasmine shook her body for a second as she saw Alexâs disgusting face and hugged Mylia tighter.
ăPlease donât ignore me, Mylia-chan! If you can use magic, you should stay and work here!ă(Alex)
ăShut the hell up, Alex! Iâm talking to her right now!ă(Aaron)
ăI, Iâm sorry, FatherâŠă(Alex)
Being scolded by Aaron, Alex stepped backward.
ïŒGood-for-nothing father with his good-for-nothing son-in-law⊠This house is truly overâŠïŒ
ăAnyway, just give me the money!ă(Aaron)
ăYou want money, huh?ă(Mylia)
ăYeah! You got a thousand gold coins, didnât you? If you donât wanna give me all of them then give me at least nine hundred gold coins!ă(Aaron)
Robin told Aaron that people who killed dragons and became Dragon Slayers would get a thousand gold coins from the queen. He didnât know that Mylia got more than that.
ïŒDid he just say to give him âat leastâ 90% of my money? Does he know what the phrase âat leastâ means?ïŒ
Mylia wanted to put her hand on her face and shake her head but she held it in.
ăIf you canât count, then give me all your money! I know itâs in your bag!ă(Aaron)
Aaron looked at Myliaâs magic bag on her waist.
He then suddenly rushed toward Mylia and jumped, trying to grab Myliaâs leg.
ăGive it to me!ă(Aaron)
ăăŒăŒïŒïŒă(Mylia)
Before Aaron could grab Myliaâs leg, Myliaâs automatic defensive magic activated.
A magic circle appeared, and a rather big cat popped out from it. The cat then punched Aaron in the face real hard.
NYAAAAăŒ!
ăGuhaaa!!!ă(Aaron)
Blood sprouted out of his nose as his body flipped backward in the air one and a half times, and then he fell and smashed his face on the floor.
ăKâŠKhhâŠ.ă(Aaron)
Aaron, who didnât expect the counterattack, could only groan in pain while lying face down on the floor.
