Chapter 268: The Past and a Plan

Translator: i after us worked quite hard, they were obviously destined to receive nothing for their efforts Meanwhile, I was er rather than on how to find a path of escape Otherwise, I’d be cleaning up piles of ashes

Little Red’s black hair was beginning to turn red, and her black eyes were turning red as well It was quite evident that she was furious If I didn’t do a good job here, perhaps she’d be breathing dragon breath the very next second

"Hey—hey—hey—Little Red, ere adventuring together back in the day, I never knew you had such a bad te chased like this?&8221;

"Ridiculous! Back in the day, that was because eren’t strong enough to win If we didn’t run, e supposed to wait around and let the a professional at shooting yourself in the foot, always antagonizing those stronger than us Besides, did you really have such a good te chased and you would never care about who you antagonized regardless of their strength But have we ever had a si chased around by thoseus so viciously!&8221;

I tried recalling to the best of my memory For the sake of my reputation, of course I should shout "How could we possibly have such a hulory and honor, we should turn around and fight to our fullest!&8221; but when I thought of how a certain silly cat always peeped on ainst me, I could only honestly shake my head

"Actually, there were quite a lot of times that we ran fro logic and reason For example, whenever you dine-and-dashed or drank-and-dashed, whenever Ada to do os—ere all equally skilled in attracting aggro—glurgh!&8221; [1] 1

Alright then Before I could finish my sentence, Little Red covered my mouth Her fiery eyes transformed back into black eyes once more, and she had the rare expression of panic on her face It would seeet angry anymore

"Hahaha! You forgot about how Margaret was sca into trouble with her experihly the same After all these years, why talk about such et about the past&8221;

"…I would have forgotten about it if you didn’t mention it I think that you were all novices back then, which made me suffer so pitifully I was basically both the nanny and the daddy for all of you, on top of you all having such strong personalities None of you ever listened toat us in astonishreat ones had days such as these&8221; This actually caused Little Red’s face to redden in eon like her could only surrender to her own dark history

"…Don’tto remember as well There were soA casual adventure where you said we’d just go wherever the road took us would on average cause us to ends and one Saint per month, and ould always sorounds and secret hideouts Do you dare to say that there weren’t proble team?&8221;

Of course there were problems Where else was I supposed to find tea and so easy to fool? Naturally, I took e

Forbidden grounds? Secret hideouts? Royal palaces? In front of the fa co!

"H paths, how could you all possibly beco? If it wasn’t for those difficult battles back then, how could you grow so powerful? It would probably take you an extra five hundred years to reach Molly’s level&8221;

When Little Red heard this and recalled those "youthful days&8221; of hers that were filled with blood and sweat, Little Red, asn’t afraid of anything, actually broke out into a cold sweat It took her quite a while to speak up again

"…If I could choose, I’d rather wait an extra five hundred years! You bastard, this basicallythat you chose all those difficult adventuring paths for us on purpose! Before, you wouldn’t admit it no matter how much you were beaten up!&8221;

"Tsk You don’t understand that it was for your own good I had to guarantee that you all could grow through life-and-death battles but also not make the battles so difficult that we’d definitely die Did you really think it was that easy forit sound reasonable that you made others suffer!&8221;

"Girls should pay more attention to their words and not use words that are censored so often… fine then, tomboys need to pay attention as well You ! Don’t hit s up Actually, it was largely with the assistance of s in the past, things that had also helped Adarow in power so quickly

[Main Character’s Adventuring Squad Mode: You are theteam will continuously attract endless a all this trouble will lead to plenty of opportunities for growth As long as you’re able to survive, your party’s rate of groill be cheat-like! Systeh you’re the main character, you don’t have the plot armor to never die like e for another one of those?&8221;

[The basic rules are that anything you’ve already exchanged for before can’t be exchanged for again System Reminder: All our products are unique and custom-made by hand And once they’re sold, no refunds We even deliver! Reh, such a pity It would have been so convenient to have another one of these to train the novices We’d just have to go out for a little trip, and if they didn’t die, they’d each io out on their own Well, even if I could obtain such a ful After all, I have toojust a few ofto have to patiently wait for the Eleth of the entire mortal plane… Wait as to improve their power levels&8221;

I faintly noticed so, but now obviously wasn’t a convenient tis There were still soldiers chasing after us… Ho? Couldn’t they work a little harder? I was still running!

"The soldiers chasing after us? The last soldier chasing after us ran out of breath three hills ago He’s probably still panting, collapsed on the ground Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! How pitiful An Iron-ranked novice ran o; he’s probably coughing out his lungs right now Right, you probably ran an extra ten or so kilo of usabout how her legs were short and she wasn’t fast as running, so she turned herself into her cat forain to laugh at my misfortune

I widened my mouth in surprise I had accidentally had tooafter me It would seem that there was now yet another new piece of dark history for me

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?&8221;

"Who would dare to stop if you didn’t stop? As for interrupting you, seeing how you and Lady Little Red were having so ht, why don’t you just directly say that you wanted to listen in on soh, our next target is to ain They actually instantly all ran off Damn it, they dared tothe topic&8221;
