The end of the Inglourious Basterds clan came faster and more directly than I expected.
If there is a problem, is it that I am caught up in the end?
The incident occurred three days later.
As three days passed, no additional candidates to join the clan appeared. In the end, we had to end recruiting our first clan member with Scarlett.
It wasn’t a very satisfactory result, but maybe it was because we sat on the first floor for three days and talked all day, and the awkwardness that had been flowing between our group disappeared a lot.
While eating, a question suddenly occurred to me. I looked at Scarlett and asked.
“Now that I think about it, Scarlett said she sneaked out the evening we clashed with the Inglourious Basterds Clan, right?”
“Yes… ”
Although he became more comfortable with us, his timid attitude did not go away. It seemed like it was a problem with Scarlett’s personality itself.
Still, it was a huge improvement compared to the first day, when I flinched and was surprised every time I spoke.
“Then it would have been better if I had come to the Summoner Guild right away that day or the next morning… Why did you wait until lunch?”
“I guess it was because I had to eat something. They sprinkled laxatives on the Inglourious Basterds Clan’s food anyway, so there wasn’t much time, right?”
Janey came up with a good reason. While I was about to nod to her words, Scarlett hesitantly opened her mouth.
“I waited at the accommodation you were originally staying at… ”
“I waited?”
“Le, it was hard to ask if you were in the Rainmaker clan, so I just waited for you to come out… ”
“… … .”
“Then the waiter told me to leave if I was not a customer… ”
It seems that this timid woman waited for several hours and finally revealed her business just before being kicked out. That’s why I came to the Summoner’s Guild belatedly at noon.
“… That’s why you’re down.”
“Hehe… ”
“It’s not a compliment!”
“Heeing… ”
Scarlett, who became sullen after Janey’s scolding, cut the sausage with a knife and chewed it.
I watched her and asked her after she swallowed her food.
“Scarlett, what is your wish?”
“It’s my wish… ?”
“Uh. If you conquer the top of the tower, you can make one wish for anything to God. What is that wish?”
“Wish… ”
Scarlett muttered the word wish as if she had never thought about it. It seemed as if the word seemed as insipid to her as words like air or dirt.
“Still, we decided to become the same clan. I need to know at least what wishes my clan members have.”
As Park Tae-moon, assistant master of the Sunrise Clan, said on the first day of arriving at the first floor, a clan is basically a group of people with similar wishes.
It is not uncommon to form a clan for a while simply to climb up a floor. Because it’s difficult for everyone’s wishes to be exactly the same.
This is probably the case with those who change their clan frequently, as Maria mentioned. They simply care about raising their level. The clan they belong to will likely turn a blind eye to it because they will have a capable comrade regardless of their wishes.
Still, since I created a clan, there had to be a common purpose shared with each other.
‘I plan to raise my clan members by personally feeding them great feats, but I can’t let them split up later just because they have different opinions.’
This is what I felt after getting the ticket, but I tend to be quite possessive.
It is not just limited to things or money, but also in areas such as human relationships.
It was clear that if a clan member who had grown by achieving feats with my support suddenly decided to leave for another clan, he would be quite upset.
‘what… Unless they exploit it like the Inglourious Basterds Clan did, I don’t think someone with a timid personality like Scarlett would do something like that.’
“Wish… ”
A light sparkled in Scarlett’s eyes as she rolled the word wish in her mouth for a while.
“I… I want to go to another world.”
“Another world?”
“Yes.”
“You don’t really want to go to the world, do you?”
“That’s right. Although there is a father in the world, he has probably already forgotten about me. When I go back, I’m just a serf’s daughter.”
Scarlett said her wish without even stuttering.
“But that wouldn’t be the case in other worlds. When I think about the people from all over the world who gather at the tower, I think there must be a world full of happy things. I want to go to a place like that.”
After pouring out those words, she seemed to have finally come to her senses, startled, and looked at me with both hands folded in front of her chest.
“Well, there’s still no way I can make it to the top floor… lol… ”
“Aren’t you asking about my wish?”
Kim Jae-yoon, who was quietly listening from the side, joined in.
‘What is Kim Jae-yoon’s wish?’
-Send the transferees, including yourself, back to the original world. With memories and abilities maintained.
‘It’s probably not a very pleasant wish for Scarlett, is it?’
-Still, if the alchemist’s abilities are maintained, I’m sure I’ll be able to make a good living when I return to my original world, right?
It was true. Considering the fact that she was the daughter of a serf and Scarlett’s almost Western appearance, her original world seemed to be somewhere on the edge of medieval Europe, fantasy or not.
A woman may be accused of being a witch for doing alchemy for no reason, but if she maintains her abilities, there is a way.
“You probably have a similar wish.”
“But… So what is your wish?”
When I gave a bland response, Kim Jae-yoon licked his lips as if he was disappointed.
“My wish?”
Actually, I had a separate wish in mind. Of course, it was a different wish than Kim Jae-yoon or Scarlett. That’s also true, in my case, since I could leave the tower at any time, there was no particular reason to wish to be sent back to the original world.
But I wasn’t sure if the wish I had in mind was possible. Although it was said to be a wish granted by God, in some ways it was a wish that was beyond the scope of this world.
So I roughly answered that I had a similar wish as them.
Thor sensed the lie and glared at me while swallowing the sausage, but perhaps thanks to the charm necklace, he didn’t peck my head like before.
“I have the same wish as Minho.”
Janey leaned her head on my shoulder as she said that. Jaeyoon Kim, as well as Scarlett, knew that Janey and I had a similar relationship.
However, due to the guild master’s instructions, Scarlett did not know that Janey and I had entered into a summons contract. She looked at our relationship with great envy. For her, who had been a country girl not long ago, dating itself seemed interesting.
The moment you try to focus on eating again.
Quang!
“Where is Scarlett? Come out!”
A group of transferees roughly opened the door of the Summoner Guild and entered.
“What is it?”
“Hmm… For some reason, I don’t feel like it.”
They looked around the interior of the cafe on the first floor, and then their eyes were fixed on our table. To be precise, the gaze was fixed on Scarlett.
“Hiccup… !”
Scarlett’s shoulders suddenly shrunk as the menacing transferees suddenly glared at her. At the same time, he seemed quite surprised to see him even hiccuping.
The guys came to our table with long strides. The one standing in front of them gritted his teeth as he looked at Scarlett, who was shrinking.
“This damn bitch sprayed drugs on food and ran away?! I know how hard the whole clan has been through these past few days! You did something like that without even knowing the grace that protected you all this time?!”
“Ma, Master… that is… ”
“Shut up! You better be prepared. I will return to the clan house and make you pay full punishment for what you did.”
It seemed that the identity of the transferees who invaded the Summoner Guild was the Inglourious Basterds Clan. This is the clan that Scarlett belonged to, and the very place where we had a conflict a few days ago.
The man presumed to be the Clan Master said that and extended his hand toward Scarlett’s shoulder.
Takㅡ
“… What are you?”
The guy whose hand was blocked by the superpower weapon he took out of the inventory turned his head towards me. Before we knew it, everyone in our group sitting at the table had stood up.
Kim Jae-yoon and Janey had their weapons half out, and Thor also puffed up his fur and spread his wings.
Seueueuu
I sat down and pushed the Inglourious Basterds Clanmaster’s hand aside. The guy seemed to be trying to hold on, but in the end he had no choice but to take a step back.
“Scarlett has decided to join our Rainmaker Clan. It means I no longer belong there. If you have something to say, don’t just touch our clan members, talk to me first.”
After saying that, I looked at Scarlett and said.
“Same goes for you. Now your clan master is me, not that bastard, right? Don’t go around bowing your head to other people. Because even I look funny.”
Actually, I was going to leave the clan master role to Kim Jae-yoon and just play around as the assistant master… It was unfashionable to say I was assistant master here, so I had no choice.
Considering Kim Jae-yoon didn’t say anything, it seemed like he took it for granted that I would be the clan master from the beginning. This happened because it was not clearly stated who would be the clan master.
I took a sip of my appetite and thought.
‘Tsk… Yeah, this would be better. If you become a clan master, it will be easier to beat up the assistant master for work time.’
Scarlett’s eyes lit up when she saw the group surrounding her as if protecting her. She nodded her head loudly.
“Yes… !”
