There was a large man taunting a girl with cat’s ears on her head .
The girl looked like she was part of the Beast Clan . People with animal features that existed in this world .
As for the large man, he looked like he’s part of a multi-person party, however Haruna did not recognise his face .
She also did not recognise the cat eared girl, early 20s, most likely a magic user . The staff in her hand was the sort that was used by magicians to draw sigils and spells on the floor . Her long brown hair was also rather eye catching .
Anyway, adventuring was a bloody business, literally, and the guild had to deal with fights and quarrels among its members on a daily basis .
“Didn’t you hear me? I said NO, I’ll never join a party run by monkeys like you!”
“You! You watch your language!”
Clearly she had been approached by this party, but had flatly refused them . It’s not hard to imagine why she had refused to join their group .
When Haruna first saw people quarrelling using the standard Japanese dialect, it felt really weird . In Osaka, people all quarrelled in the Kansai dialect . Other Japanese who witness a bunch of people yelling at each other in the Kansai dialect would find that it was at least 30% scarier compared to standard Japanese quarrels .
“Who’s a monkey! You brat, you’re just a slave, beast men like you are just slaves, aint’cha!” The large man
retorted viciously, not bothering to pull punches with his words .
“Slave creatures like you have no right to be so proud! You should behave according to your class and beg for forgiveness!”
“That law had already been repelled a hundred years ago! Us Beast Clans already suffered years of insults from it!”
As she uttered these words, the cat eared witch tightened her grip on her staff .
Clear sign that she’s about to use magic .
“You should watch your own words! Fireball!”
“Ah, I should stop this, wa . ”
In a flash, Haruna cut into the fight .
—doom!
Haruna took a direct hit to her back from the Fireball . The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent . Taking such an attack to the back would normally result in horrible injury, if not death .
The cat eared girl’s expression became distorted . It was one thing to pick a fight, quite another to involve unrelated people into said fight .
However, Haruna’s face never show any pain . Due to her ridiculously high status, the only thing that was damaged were her clothes . Which was now full of holes .
“Maa, maa, please don’t fight you two . Can’t the two of you give face to Haruna and stop?”
At that, the people around them became noisy again . Though she had taken a direct hit, she seemed unmoved by it .
Moreover, Haruna was terribly famous person with the Old Saxon Guild members . Anyone who had any contact with her would understand why .
“Now, how
how should I deal with the two of you? Let you guys have one strike each~? No, no, that’s a terrible idea, na . ”
“What the, you-”
It was spoken by the cat eared witch, her face cold . However, there was a trace surprise in her voice .
In the end, she could not deny that her magic have no influence against Haruna .
“Oi, beast girl, don’t tell me you have no idea who Haruna is? As expected of an outsider! Haruna is a monstrously powerful swordswoman . She’ll beat you into a pulp without even pulling out that sword!”
The large man was unrestrained in his boasting about Haruna’s power . Haruna’s strength was the village’s pride after all .
“Calling me monsterous is just too much,ya . Especially since I’m such a cutie . Don’t you think I look just like a Takarazuka[1]?
Haruna beamed a little smiled . Right now, her expression was like an embarrassed actress surrounded by her faithful fans .
“Oh, ah… ah, right, not a monster at all, but an angel, angel…”
With the full power of the smile directed at him, the large man suddenly felt shy .
“…I’m going to savour this good mood and go home to enjoy it properly…”
The guild’s magic users have also appeared, having heard about the quarrel .
They all thought that trouble had been averted .
In fact, “As expected of Harunchan!”, “Haruna is the hero of this town!” and such statements were thrown about .
However, things have yet to come to an end on Haruna’s side
Haruna’s side . Someone grabbed the magic users by the shoulders .
“Hey, just wait a bit . ”
“What the heck, just what is this…”
The magic users’ faces all stiffened .
“Naa, what’s troubling you? You definitely looked troubled, don’t you? If there’s anything bothering you, feel free to speak to me about it . ”
“Eh, ah…”
The cat eared magic user looked quite bewildered by this sudden barrage of question .
But an Osaka Auntie would always show an unflappable face in public .
“Wh-why should I talk to a weird person like you? There’s no reason for me to speak with you!”
“Oh, so there really is something troubling you, yan . I can tell just from your face . You have a face like an open book, na . Go on, go ahead and tell me, ya . ”
“Nonsense! I’m just a lowly wondering Adventurer . Please, leave me alone!”
“Hey, you know that kind of cool attitude will get you in trouble one day . Be a little true to yourself! No one cares about appearances here . This isn’t Tokyo after all . So you can unburden yourself from all those ridiculous peer pressure nonsense . This place is nothing like Tokyo or Katsushika[2], where everything is about honour and duty and not sticking out . ”
“Wh- cool…?! I- it’s not like that!”
At those bluntly spoken words, the magic user faltered .
“Look, there’s no need for you to live like so, te,”
“I’m sorry, live like…what?”
‘Ikiru’ or literally ‘live like so’ is a slang term in Kansai dialect for ‘putting up appearance’ ‘putting up appearance’ or ‘putting up a front’ . As a rule, people from Osaka tend to loudly declare their intentions and disliked putting up fake appearances .
Additionally, there’s a saying in West Osaka, ‘Ichibiru’ that is sometimes used to comment on shocking behaviour . For example, ‘What the heck, that’s ichibi’te, nen!’
“I totally understand . There’s a boy near my neighbourhood who always tried to show off his independence . Saying things like ‘I’m gonna live on my own or something’ with a totally dull face, pretending to be cool . What da heck, a laughing face is the best, laughter makes the world a better place . Also laughter will increase your body’s immunity, ya de . ”
Although no one could actually follow what Haruna was saying, she continued to babble on:
“Go ahead, tell me what’s troubling you, ya . I’ll definitely be able to help you somehow . I have lived through many years am very experienced dealing with life after all . ”
“Wait, aren’t you younger than me…”
The body that Haruna had transmigrated into was a pretty girl of about high school age after all .
The cat eared magic user finally buckled under the cheerful pressure of this unusual character—
“I understand… I shall speak of it . Let’s find a bar and I’ll tell you all about it…”
