SELECT DUNGEON'S STORY - Nephilim's Corruption

Chapter 8 - Alliance Aliviah #2

Vezda has finished being examined by the best healers of the Kyana Alliance. His prosthetic arm will be finished tomorrow and Vezda and Alertaha can leave the Kyana Alliance checkpoint faster. For some reason Vezda felt that the position of himself alone with Aleratha was a planned position. Because Vezda remembered it shouldn't be just the two of them who would come to the Kyana Alliance.

“Vezda, why do you look so nervous since we left for the Kyana Alliance?” Aleratha asked Vezda.

“Ah, no. I'm fine.”Vezda tried to cover it up.

“Do not lie, Vezda.  I've lived 125 years and observed a lot of human behavior.” Aleratha explained to Vezda.

“I don't want to tell it.” Vezda said to Alerataha with a reddened face.

“Do you feel bad walking together with High Elves while you are human?” Aleratha asked Vezda.

“No. I don't feel that way. I'm just happy to be with you.” Vezda said to Aleratha.

DEG!!! Vezda was suddenly startled by something. Without a second thought, Vezda immediately pulled out his sword and noticed everything around him and Aleratha. That feeling was a very real feeling for Vezda.

“Vezda, what is it?” Aleratha was surprised to see Vezda's figure as if preparing to fight but did not know who was the target.

Whereabouts? Where's she? This feeling was nothing new, but the killing intent and the blood thirsty feeling was very concentrated. Vezda felt something or someone watching him and felt the air and desire to kill him.

“Vezda!” Aleratha resuscitated Vezda and Vezda accidentally pointed his sword at Aleratha.

Disappear. Eve has disappeared. That desire disappeared instantly as Aleratha awakened Vezda.

“Sorry, Aleratha. I feel there is a desire to kill a very strong.” Vezda sighed and put his sword back in.

“It means killer instinct, doesn't it?” Aleratha asked Vezda.

“Yes, but I'm also not sure because there are too many people here. It shouldn't be a problem anymore.”Vezda said to Aleratha that they continued their journey to meet the other members of the alliance.

Vezda walked down the main street in Femi City to meet the other members of the alliance. While they are on their way, they meet Samir who has just picked up his new sword for a while as his old sword must be sharpened back due to the fight against a new kind of monster.

“Samir, let's walk together.” Vezda invites Samir and the three of them to walk together.

Just then Vezda saw an adventurous figure with jet black hair and eyes that had different pupil colors on his left and right, he felt something strange. The adventurer was still very young and just by looking at his expression at a glance Vezda knew exactly he was a still innocent child with a kind heart, but there was something else when the young adventurer thought of something and clenched his hands before disappearing in the crowd Vezda knew of one thing. Someone finally received Phatos Fotia Agapi's ability. Somehow, but Vezda felt his instincts to say that and Vezda smiled unconsciously.

“Your expression can very quickly change from alert to relaxed, yes.” Aleratha said and Vezda regained consciousness.

“Ya so.” Vezda said while holding in shame.

Samir smile? That adventurer, I want to know who he is who received that Phatos Fotia Agapi. Vezda realized that Samir Suga saw the adventurous figure with the same view as himself.

“OOIII, SAMIR, ALERATHA, VEZDA! LET'S GO THEN! SYLLIA BELLY HAS ALREADY STARTED HER SINGING!” Celia's cry could be heard and Syillia looked embarrassed as Celia shouted and the three of them smiled at the behavior of the other alliance members.

“Come. We eat until we are full.” Vezda also becomes very cheerful and pulls the hands of Aleratha and Samir to join the already assembled members of the alliance.

The Misty Plate Tavern

The most famous restaurant in Femi City. This was the first time Vezda had walked into a place where he could taste real food and good drinks after a few months of eating only his homemade stem food.

“Everything, we welcome our new member, Vezda Fenias!” Laris said and Vezda stood up with Laris.

“He sacrificed himself to help us and save Aleratha. Vezda is now a member of the Aliviah Alliance. We celebrate with great festivity!” Laris said and raised his wine glass.

“FOR VEZDA!” All the members of Aliviah raised their wine glasses as Vezda's welcome.

Although Vezda hardly ever drinks wine, Vezda has a remarkable alcohol tolerance. Salama ate, Vezda had drunk more than 3 glasses of wine and his face was still very normal compared to his other friends.

“Heh, Bromner. Tell them how you can drink a lot of wine. Then we have competition. Those who fell last have the right to feel Aleratha's chest as much.” Aliviah said very cheerfully.

“Register me now!” Alfred stood up and everyone laughed.

“I also.”

“Hey I'm coming!”

“I'm coming!”

“I'm also coming.” After many other members wanted to participate in Aliviah's folly, Laris also wanted to join the others.

“Captain~~” Calia limp when hearing Laris participate.

“Sir Aleratha.” Syllia said to Aleratha with her worried face.

“Leave it.” Aleratha answered him seriously and while eating her food.

The deg! That same feeling came again to Vezda, but Vezda had to be as normal as possible so that no one would panic and ruin the dinner party. Vezda looked around and there was no one suspicious.

Uh, the new adventurer? Vezda was slightly distracted by the adventurous figure that had just been at the table near the restaurant owner. Vezda also didn't want to panic him because it wasn't a good thing.

“Aleratha, my Killer instinct is back to give me a warning.” Vezda said quietly to Aleratha with Syllia still focusing on her chat with Samir.

“Then how?” Aleratha understood the situation and also remained calm.

“I'll check it out. This time it was much easier to find. I ask for help to keep this situation conducive.” Vezda asked Aleratha.

“Good.” Aleratha approved Vezda's plan.

Then Aliviah suddenly saw Vezda who had started to feel that Vezda was preparing for something. Vezda calmly gestured with his index finger in his mouth signaling him to stay calm. Alviah can't stop Vezda because it will ruin the atmosphere. So, Aliviah cheered again with the others and Vezda moved out of the restaurant.

“Vezda, where are you going?” Catherine asked Vezda.

“I want to breathe fresh air first for a while ya.” Vezda then walked quietly out of the restaurant.

Vezda stood in front of the entrance and felt the murderous and bloodthirsty chill coming very close and looked around. At first glance he saw a figure in an all-black robe barely visible in the dark. At that moment he understood, that figure was what Vezda was looking for. Vezda instantly set his breathing to become much calmer and his heart rate was getting slower. After a while, he jumped up very quickly and no one saw him, not even Aleratha.

****

Aleratha saw Vezda walking away from her sight. From his interaction with Aliviah, Aleratha also understood that Aliviah knew. Aliviah also did not want to mess with this pleasant atmosphere.

“Ah..no thank you.” Samir was a bit hesitant in rejecting the offer.

“Slightly sa–”

“Oi, don't force Samir to drink wine.” Ragnulf held the adventurer's head and said in a very angry tone.

“Ra-Ragnulf...” Members of that alliance have started to fear.

“If you still want to force Samir to drink it, let me just drink the wine–no, you see I will drink all the wine.” Ragnulf said to the adventurer and took his wine.

Celia, Samir, and Syllia saw Ragnulf being able to drink that much wine in such a short time was quite a surprise as it was not the thing to do.

“Yes, indeed we should not let Samir drink any alcoholic beverages that.” Aliviah said to the others.

“Why?” Syllia also found out that Aliviah also did not allow Samir to drink alcoholic beverages.

“Because if Samir drinks alcohol, he will get drunk very quickly and if Samir gets drunk, it could be a disaster for this place.” Aliviah answered Syllia while remembering what had happened before.

“Hahaha. I remember him getting drunk and once almost destroying a restaurant in the northern district.” Bromner said with a laugh as he recalled the incident.

“Iya. That's not a good idea.” Celia said to the others.

Of course, even though one can drink a lot of wine at once, it does not mean that they can withstand the next hangover because Ragnulf was immediately drunk because the amount of wine he consumed was very much in the time quick one.

“Aleratha, you look anxious. Did something happen?” Samir asked Aleratha when he saw Aleratha thinking of something.

“Nothing. I'm fine.” Aleratha answered Samir while drinking her drink.

I don't know why today was so fun. Samir smiled as Aleratha replied and saw everything in the place happy.

“Oh yes, Samir. Tell me about that little whiny boy.” Ragnulf said to Samir.

No. gabe. Samir didn't want to tell me that.

“Tiny boy?” Aliviah asked Ragnulf.

Not that adventurer. Samir wanted to say, but he couldn't say anything.

“Iya. When the Minotaur scattered to the top floor, there were 1 who managed to escape and almost killed the adventurer.” Ragnulf said and drank the wine back.

“Then?” Aliviah sounds enthusiastic.

“She cried in fear and Samir slashed the minotaur. The minotaur's blood rained down on the weak adventurer. Looks like rotten tomatoes. HAHAHAHA.” Ragnulf laughed explaining that and everyone laughed.

“Then the adventurer ran away while shouting and crying. HAHAHAHAHS. I couldn't help my laughter and my stomach hurt. HAHAHAHAHA.” Ragnulf and the others still continued to laugh.

Don'tdon't. The adventurer has struggled. He wants to be better. Even the moody Samir did not look like a roar because his face was really like a doll so no one understood how he really felt.

“No need to be too rigid, Samir. Nobody is concerned anyway.” Celia said to Samir who did not laugh with the others.

“Samir is already very adept at scaring all adventurers who have levels below it. HAAHHAHA” Ragnulf still continued his laughter.

“HAHAHAH. I'm sure it'll be the greatest masterpiece.” Aliviah and all the others laughed, except for a few people.

Hm? Aleratha saw Samir's gaze and immediately understood that Samir really wanted to protect the adventurer. Aleratha also from the beginning Ragnulf told me that she was actually not interested because actually saving other adventurers was natural.

“That's enough, Ragnulf. Shut the fuck up!” Aleratha said to Ragnulf in a quite high and solemn tone.

“The sowing of the minotaur to the top floor is the negligence of all of us as members of the expedition and high-level Alliance. Apart from that, we have also still not apologized to that adventurer and this is not a topic worth talking about right now. You guys are shameless.” Aleratha's words made all the other members speechless and feel guilty even Aliviah felt the same way.

“I had expected Miss Elf would indeed say such a thing, but is it wrong if we say trash to trash? I don't think there's any harm.” Ragnulf was still continuing his lead even though Aleratha had already scolded him.

“Already, Ragnulf. This wine taste is so bland.” Aliviah said on the sidelines to drink his wine.

“It's been a long time since I've seen someone so useless that I've been amused just by remembering it.” Ragnulf said to Samir.

“Then I change the topic of our conversation today.” Ragnulf said as he changed his sitting position.

“Who do you think is more worthy to stand by your side, Samir?” Ragnulf's words are very clear is a statement of love although not direct.

“Ragnulf, do you understand the words you just said?” Laris asked Ragnulf.

“Heee. Samir?” Syllia was surprised to hear the words from Ragnulf to Samir.

“How, Samir? Are you going to choose me or that little whiny boy to fuck you?” Ragnulf was still trying to ask Samir.

“Which for sure I will not choose you who have said that.” Samir said almost without expression.

“You are indeed pathetic, Ragnulf.” Aleratha said with a smile.

“Then what about the boy? Would if she expressed her love for you, you would accept her?” Ragnulf's question stunned Samir and began to think.

No, don't have time to think about that. Samir said in his heart.

“See? You won't accept such a weak boy either.” Ragnulf pressed Samir at that moment.

The adventurous figure reminded me of my parents who are now only a memory. Samir said in his heart.

As they were talking about it, the adventurer in question ran out. Most of them did not know who the adventurers who ran outside were, but Samir and Aleratha very well already knew who the adventurers who ran away from them.

He hears us. Samir immediately tried to pursue the adventurer with one of the servants who worked there.

No, what am I chasing after him for? I don't have time to do such a thing. If he's like a hero to me, why has no one ever come to my rescue? Samir stopped and instantly had a conflict within him.

Vezda is back, but Samir is unaware of Vezda's presence again and Vezda goes inside the restaurant again and talks to Aleratha who is actually waiting for him.
