Now I was not even able to properly stand, and Otaku and Ashoka were pitying me over my condition, and I was way too depressed now; like, literally, I was this close to such heaven, but I was dragged by such a pesky hand in such an inhuman way and was just thinking, "In my entire life, I never missed a golden opportunity from such a distance; it was as if everything was in my palms, and yet everything slipped from my grip, like sand."
Now while I was depressed, Otaku flickered his fingers and took us back to our realm, the same cart, and the same lovely breeze.
Feeling the change in atmosphere, I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked around; the calm and nice weather was becoming a great help in reducing my sorrow, and to forget about my entire sorrow, I gave Niona a piercing look.
Seeing my gaze, she also looked at me with a slightly angry, pouted face. Seeing her face, I took out a bottle from my inventory and started drinking it in a pretty dramatic way. Well, seeing me, Ashoka and Otaku sighed while looking around, and to our surprise, we were near the border of the Water Nation.
The area had quite dense forest, and I felt that I had seen this area, but I couldn't remember where I saw this land, but soon I realized where we saw this area: many flying knives and energy attacks flew to our side, and only one name came to our lips: "The Thug Town!"
This place was still the same mess; like, literally, we were still at least 50 miles away from that insane place, and these vile insects were buzzing around my ear, feeling that they might become a way for me to remove my frustration. I spoke to Otaku in a somewhat dramatic tone: "Otaku, I will take care of these bastards alone; I don't need anybody, huh!"
Hearing my words and seeing my expression, Otaku sighed, while Niona pouted and began looking to the other side, and this motherfucker Ashoka spoke in a taunting way: "What, brat? Just because you didn't get those bitches, you are acting like this? Are you this insecure about yourself?"
Hearing his words, my eyes opened; I felt that this bastard really taunted me just now, and even Niona was laughing at his tease. Well, this laugh was burning my soul, so it was time to return this bastard's taunt to him.
So I made a nasty smirk and spoke in a much more taunting tone: "Oh, insecure? Oh my, look at this hardcore pervert who is calling me insecure. Sorry, Ashoka, I didn't remember a man like you was also traveling with us who has such wild interests that you sneak into other people's clothes and sniff." "Oh fuck, I am remembering a name, was it Mount Lona or something—? "
As I was speaking, he held my lips and forced a smile while Otaku was also following him and spoke with a forced cheerful tone: "Brat, I get it; you are not insecure, so stop this instant. Don't you dare blabber anything about that vile scene!"
Hearing my words and seeing my expressions, Niona gave us a sketchy look and spoke with quite a cold tone: "Tell me, I want to know. What were you speaking about—clothes and sniffing? If anyone of you dared mess with my clothes, then believe me, we wouldn't be leaving this cart in one piece."
Hearing her words, my entire depression went out of the window, and my eyes started to open, and I glanced at these bastards who were staring at me intensely, but there was no point in us being scared, so I spoke in a casual tone: "What? It doesn't even include you, random witch; it is talking about us men, so you just start for the next round because after I crush those creeps from outside, we will have many things to do, ok?"
Hearing my words, both of them took a breath of calm and looked at her in the same calm way. Seeing our reactions, she cursed us multiple times while looking outside and hiding her red cheeks.
Seeing her this cute, I smiled and asked these creeps, "So, how many are there?"
Hearing my words, Ashoka spoke without even reacting: "20 at least!" So now Otaku spoke in a somewhat excited tone: "Master, let's play a game. How about I teach you my void magic in the form of target practice, and you can teach me other element magic, and we can see who can clear more people than the other?"
Well, his suggestion wasn't bad, and I also had to learn void magic properly, so it was a better chance, but before I could agree to him, this creep Ashoka dusted his cape, and in less than an instant he cleared those bastards.
So now, I was thinking, should I kill this bastard first? Should I torture him first? And to burn our ass further, this bastard made a thug-type face and spoke: "This is what happens when you don't include mighty Ashoka in your fun. Better remember this every time you meet me!"
Hearing his words, Otaku's and my expressions turned darker, and I gestured him to start the game, and in the next moment, we saw that Ashoka was tied behind the cart and was being dragged on the ground.
Surely this bastard earned it, and due to Otaku's authority, he was also to use his energy, so as he was being dragged, we took a breath of calm, and I leaped near Niona while speaking: "So where were we?"
Hearing my words, her face turned slightly red, and seeing the ashoka being dragged, she forced a smile and spoke: "So, brat, what do you want?"
Hearing her words, I felt like I was hit on my balls, and I spoke: "What? Don't tell me you are planning on breaking your promise, and if yes, then I have to ask Otaku to give you a proper seat next to Ashoka. Tell me if you need it!"
