(EP-10.1) Flower Aira #10

    010 – Evil Flower Aira #10

    Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Nymphs, Monsters, etc.

    There were numerous races in ‘Villain Hunter’. Each race had their own unique characteristics and personalities.

    Nymphs were one of them.

    Even before Humans came into this world, the Nymph race had already existed.

    I only vaguely knew about the existence of such beings. Yet, only hours ago, I discovered my non Human heritage.

    “So you''re saying that I am a Half-Nymph, a half-fairy?”

    I had just heard a rather shocking truth.

    "That''s right! This great Bionoi''s eyes, which have been Cultivated through business, could tell that your body is that of a Gold Rank Warrior! Therefore, I dare say that you are a Half-Nymph!”

    Oh my God, I really was a Half-Nymph!

    This was the first time I had learned about this.

    I had always thought of myself as an ordinary Human.

    Did this bastard, Tae-oh, really have such a background?

    He was just a passing villain character. I also remembered that he had no other description, other than being called a ‘Demon Monk’.

    [T/N: added the "monk" instead of just “demon”. I removed the monk before since it didn''t make sense (contradictory) but now it seems to play a role.]

    Could it be that the cause of his youthful appearance did not stem from him being some type of strange monk (Demon Monk), but rather his half-fairy heritage?

    “If we lean our heads together and compare our features, you will see the similarities! More than that, who is this girl that keeps pulling this Bionoi''s ears!?"

    "Look at this! Her ears are pointy. It is different from other people’s!”

    “If you continue pulling my ears like that, this Bionoi''s short and sweet Nymph ears will be stretched, looking terribly long like those Elves!”

    Just as Bionoi was about to take my hood off, Aira pulled her ears.

    If Bionoi had seen my face, we would have been caught.

    After all, I had already shown my face here once before.

    Anyways, it turned out that I was a Half-Nymph.

    Of course, whether I was actually a Half-Nymph or a Human, things wouldn’t be much different from how it was before. It was pretty interesting, though.

    Did she read my thoughts? I didn’t know, but Bionoi suddenly nodded.

    “It’s been a long time since this Bionoi has seen a Half-Nymph. It is quite interesting. When was the last time I saw one?"

    However, I was pulled out of my thoughts by the Nymph manager, who was trying to chat some more.

    “At that time, the Demon Angmar was the one leading the world, not the cunning spider of the Tarantera Family! There were many Nymphs and Humans, so there were a lot of halfies....”

    I could see the Nymph''s eyes getting teary. It was as if she was a long-lived fairy servant, reminiscing about the distant past.

    “It would be better if we did not talk about such topics.”

    There were some things in this world that were better left unspoken.

    Just as expected.

    ━Demon?

    ━What an ominous name...

    No one had ever noticed that fact.

    Aira might have heard that. I quickly left the tavern, with the half-dozing Aira draped on my shoulders.

    Let''s quickly go back to the palace.

    I should arrive there before midnight.

    Just as I noticed the few telltale signs of people following us, a feeling of fatigue had creeped into my body.

    “I knew this would happen.”

    Today’s schedule was a mess!

    * * *

    As I continued walking for a while, a narrow alley soon came to sight.

    I had been trying to take the main road as much as possible. I was in a predicament.

    “Hehehe- Where are you going?”

    “The noble lady looks very tired. We know a good place to rest not far from here."

    At this time, the people following us started to speak.

    I tried going the happy circuit route (positive thinking) and hoped that they would just eventually give up, but it seemed they weren''t that smart.

    “Stop for a moment.”

    “Yeah, I have something to tell you. Stop!”

    According to the voices behind me, there were roughly two men. They were probably sitting in the far corner of the tavern like we were.

    When I turned my head, as expected, two men were approaching us.

    It was late at night, so I couldn''t see their faces. However, they had strong physiques, and were armed with a dagger, a potion, a long sword as well as having an ax on their waist, respectively.

    They were just your common, ordinary thugs.

    How was Aira currently?

    “.......”

    She was half-asleep. Maybe this was a good thing, in case the rock would crack the delicate egg.

    [T/N: Break/trigger her into becoming a full-blown murderer]

    I said to them, while pulling a dagger from my waist.

    “I would have prefered if you had left us alone and just quietly let us go. If you know who this is, and still decide to continue, you won''t just die a simple death."

    However, they only looked at each other before bursting into laughter.

    After laughing for a while, one of them pulled out a long sword and said.

    “Everyone says that. Do we not know who that is? Of course, we do! Isn''t she a noble lady? A curious aristocratic lady who snuck out on the streets at night.”

    “A naughty little girl sneaking out of her magnificent mansion without any guards. Is that not it?"

    “Yeah, don''t bad girls like that need to be punished? People like us... Hihi- What? It''s no big deal. It''s just earning some ransom money and having a little fun while we wait. We''re professionals!"

    Professionals? That was applicable to committing crimes?

    It sounded like they had quite a bit of experience.
