Chapter 11 - Training[2]
After defeating the raid of monsters every day, they would receive rewards depending on their performance.
The reward for killing the boss monster that comes every 5 days was enough to offset the previous days' rewards.
It meant that bosses were that much stronger, but he wanted to move out after he had at least killed the first boss.
"Excuse me."
Just then, two women approached Klautz.
Although they looked a bit messy, they had a much better appearance than the rest.
They were two university students with heavy makeup on.
The one with long straight hair and who was adorably clenching her fist spoke.
He hit the statue a bit more softly.
"Is there any meaning to hitting them?"
Thud! Thud!
'Such a stupid question. If there was no meaning in hitting them why would two individuals pour their flesh and blood in it'
He hit concisely with no unnecessary movements.
The statue shook dangerously.
Klautz had a hunch that these two were specifically sent by the group there to inquire about his actions.
"A price for information," Klautz said, "Name it, what you can pay"
An old habit of Klautz surfaced. Klautz was a shinobi to the core. The greatest one at that. As a Shinobi gathering information and selling them to those who pay was everyday work for him.
As a Shinobi he had to spy on people for years to get any suitable information for his clients.
Klautz was unaware of the exchange between Steve and Bill, not knowing how similar his actions were to Steve.
Steve smiled but that didn't stop his punches.
"Ladies... Ladies ya heard him. Nothing's free here"
"Brothers in blood" one of them blurted out.
She had a sour expression on their faces. But she didn't give up.
"Please, can't you be a bit considerate?"
The girl stepped right next to the statue.
She lowered her gaze with a pitiful expression.
On top of that, her white blouse exposed her bare shoulders.
That scene would enchant most men.
She was that level of beauty and in reality, a few of the surrounding men gave Klautz jealous stares.
"F*ck off. No information without payment"
After all, Klautz knew better than anyone how precious information was in Hellfeim. These newbies won't know, but he can't be considerate just because of that. He has spent 5 decades in Hellfeim, his mind already worked in the ways of Hellfeim. He wasn't some devil but he wasn't magnanimous either.
Listening to Klautz's reply, the girl staggered as if her pride was hurt.
Then she lowered her head and knit her brows.
'Crazy bastard! Is he a eunuch or what?'
Little did she know that to Klautz, who passed the harsh training of the Kishiokagure, that level of seduction was like a child acting cute. That wasn't all...
One of the things people had to be most cautious of in the Underworld was beauties.
Selena Welsh was not used to this sort of treatment as there weren't many men who would just abruptly tell her to fuck off. She had extremely high standards for men. If it wasn't for being summoned here, she would have been enjoying a drive in a sports car after an extravagant dinner.
'Just because you know how to fight a bit...'
The reason why she approached them was cause they seemed like lone wolves. Although she said they could only: 'fight a bit', she knew it was quite the opposite. During the past three days, they were constantly subject to life-threatening situations. They knew that more monsters were waiting for them outside the temple. To be physically strong was the biggest asset in this situation. Even more so, the two men in front of her resembled wolves that would tear apart all the monsters they faced.
She refused to give up.
She lifted her head and straightened her clothes.
Then she turned towards Steve.
She revealed her enchanting smile and said, "Aren't both of your words a bit too harsh? Even I would be a bit hurt."
"Don't say that babe, you want something? We have it and are willing to give it to you. It is only fair that you pay cause even we are in serious need of resources. Don't forget our situation is just like yours"
Selena opened her mouth but before she could say anything Steve continued.
"Your clothes are in good shape. How about it? My info is not as precise as the brother there but I certainly have some, might be useful to you"
'How dare he!' But she didn't let her anger show up on her face. With a tight-lipped smile, she continued.
"I've seen your performance for the past few days. People talk a lot about Mr. Steve, oh, I can call you Steve right? Anyways, people talk about Steve lot."
She stealthily came closer and slightly brushed her hand against his. No man could resist this kind of physical contact.
'When would you have ever held hands with someone as pretty as me?' she thought so in her heart full of self-confidence.
"Everyone says that 'He's good at fighting, but he is a bit greedy.' Ah, but don't worry about it, Steve. They are all cowards who can't say it to your face. Also because you kill so many monsters, isn't it natural you receive the great rewards?"
Eye contact.
She tried to laugh as naturally as she could while gazing at his eyes.
It could be said that that was the finishing move, but as soon as she looked at Steve's eyes, she felt her body tremble slightly.
The eye's filled with anger.
"Are you done talking?"
"Yes? Ah, y-yes, I am."
"Then f*ck off."
"What... did you say?"
Punch!
Steve punched the deity's face.
Her intentions were obvious and he didn't have the time to listen to her.
"If you try this again, I'll make punch your face the same way as that statue," he quietly whispered into her ear.
Klautz watched the scene from the corner of his eyes and smiled for the first time since he had come to this world albeit a small one.
Steve was rising higher and higher in his eyes
"Hiccup!"
Selena hiccupped.
"Hiccup! Hiccup!"
The strength in her legs slowly weakened.
"Selena, are you okay?"
Eventually, the girl who came with her dragged her away by her wrist.
