Chapter 138 138: Threat
"Fuck it! Where is she from?!" Idan asked Arabel through a mental connection. Although Idan was shocked to see Esma, he did not forget to keep a low profile.
Arabel was as shocked as Idan by Esma's sudden appearance.
The third one who was shocked was Sierra.
But unlike the couple, it didn't take her long to put everything together and understand why she had rushed to the first city and specifically to the branch of the Adventurer Guild.
She imagined herself in Esma's place and realized that it wouldn't have taken her long to come to the same thoughts and decisions that Esma had.
Sierra turned her gaze to the couple, and deep thought was reflected in her gaze.: What decision will they make?
"Oh, I'm sorry to intrude," Esma said hurriedly, realizing that she had interrupted some important event.
She refused to transform, and her wings fell apart in front of everyone, turning into a cloak in accordance with Esma's style, the color of which was in harmony with the shade of her hair.
Only a few of those present knew about the existence of the Valkyries. To everyone, it was just a special flight spell that had nothing to do with the Valkyrie race. After all, the Valkyries were a secretive race that only the beings of the Higher Realm knew about.
Looking around more closely, she saw many famous personalities from the First City, among whom was the Valkyrie she had noticed earlier, which she was just looking for.
Esma was about to ask her about the couple when her attention was attracted by the presence of Sierra, who was sitting next to a young man in a mask. Of course, her surprise was genuine.
And immediately she began to search for a couple, and, to her amazement, she could not find them.
Esma frowned and stared at the people sitting next to Sierra.
"A masked young man, an elf, an unremarkable human race woman, and a human race man," she muttered as she looked at the group.
Her frown became even more focused when she noticed something unusual, and unlike Lucinda, she quickly realized what it was. And when she realized this, the two unremarkable people sitting next to the elf suddenly transformed and appeared in front of her in the form of the very people she was looking for.
"Heh, little tricks, — Esma chuckled, breaking Sierra's spell that was working on her, and like Lucinda, she was able to see the couple that Sierra had hidden from the others.
Esma, having discovered the couple, could not contain her joy and gave those present a charming smile, from which half of the men almost melted on the spot. The Hero was particularly badly affected by this. He forgot about Eulalia for a moment, and all his attention turned to Esma.
Idan and Arabel, unlike the others, were terrified.
Esma was smiling at them, and it would be stupid of them not to realize that she was up to something with both of them.
And the information they had gleaned from Sierra about Esmar had only deepened their understanding of Esma. After what happened in the store, they didn't want to have anything to do with her at all.
Esma, despite her eccentricity and unpredictability, instantly realized what was happening and did not disclose the identity of the couple. Under the gaze of those around her, she quickly approached the table and, not following Lucinda's example, took an empty seat next to Idan, continuing to smile and look at him.
With this act, she provoked a series of unforeseen events.
First, the Hero finally paid attention to Idan and squinted dangerously.
Secondly, Arabel looked from Lucinda to Esma.
Not only the Hero, but everyone present turned their attention to Idan, wondering who this young man was who had attracted the attention of such a charming girl.
Idan wanted to cry under the gazes of so many people, most of whom looked at him with hostility.
The situation was getting more and more strange.
The Hero was no longer concerned about his subordinate's problems. His attention was fixed on the two beautiful women in front of him, one of whom was even more beautiful than the other.
"You!" the Hero turned to Idan. "What's your name?"
"Huh?" – Idan was startled by such an unexpected address to him.
"I'm asking, what's your name?" — the hero repeated.
"Arslan..." — without thinking twice, Idan called the first name that came to his mind.
Arabel was surprised at first, and then laughed when she heard her younger brother's name.
But then she stopped abruptly. It dawned on her that a whole year had passed in their world while they were here, and her younger brother was no longer the youngest.
"Hey, hey, wait!" Idan suddenly interrupted the Hero who wanted to say something.
Events began to unfold, as in popular novels. Idan did not seek to be the center of attention, especially because of the women who were not his companions. He only had one girlfriend, and she was sitting next to him.
However, among the beauties who attracted the attention of this Hero was Eulalia, his senior colleague. For her sake, he could have done something and helped her if he was stronger than her. But unfortunately, his rank was only "Silver".
"No offense, Hero, but don't drag me into this. I have nothing to do with the lady on my left, and I have a purely friendly relationship with the elf. I already have a girlfriend, and I'm very devoted to her. I'm not interested in others. So go ahead, take the flag in your hands. How they react depends only on themselves," Idan blurted out in one breath, trying to distract the Hero's attention from himself.
Idan didn't want the Hero to involve him in his problems.
However, for the Hero, as for most of the men in the lobby, Idan's words had no meaning.
He had already chosen him as his target, whether Idan wanted it or not. For in the eyes of the Hero, a simple man of the "Silver" rank represented nothing, as well as his opinion or desires.

"Heh, do you think I'll believe your words?" The Hero asked contemptuously. Then his gaze shifted from Idan to Arabel, who was still wearing the Ghost Mask, and thanks to this, the Hero could not see her true appearance.
If he had seen Arabel's true appearance, Idan and the others would have been sure that the Hero would also be interested in her. For the beauty of Arabel's true appearance was not inferior to the beauties present.
Thanks to the ghost mask, she did not look so beautiful and attractive, and the Hero only grinned at Arabel.
"And she's your girlfriend?" he asked contemptuously. "Heh, she's just the thing for someone like you, you really are a pair of boots!"
"Take good care of your girlfriend, there have been too many cases of assaults on women in the dark lately," the Hero said ambiguously with a grin.
The Hero's entourage burst into smiles, as did some of the men who listened to his words.
The Hero openly threatened Idan, intending to attack Arabel, not realizing what consequences his words might entail.
What do you think?
