Chapter 128: Esma & the Young Dragon

After the couple left, Esma began to collect the destroyed furniture. While packing, she rubbed her ass, which Sierra had hit and which still hurt.

Esma didnʼt know why Sierra brought this couple to her, but seeing how the couple treated her, she decided to give up on them. Esma didnʼt even know their names.

She needed to get the store in order and open it as soon as possible. Her regular customers were coming soon. After all, evening is coming soon, and itʼs time for ”pleasure.”

Just as Esma was finishing packing, a dozen customers entered her store. They all wore the same armor and weapons.

Having been the owner of a store in this city for quite a long time, Esma recognized them immediately and did not pay much attention to them. She was waiting for the one who would come after them.

Meeting her expectations, everyone soon parted, and a burly young man with long red hair, wearing red sparkling armor and two horns on his head entered the store. His red eyes with vertical pupils, which stared intently at Esma, could almost burn with their gaze, but Esma didnʼt care, she didnʼt even look in his direction.

”Oya, who is this who has come to us? Has my beloved little dragon decided to please me with his presence again?” said Esma with a playful tone, and her words sent chills through the young dragon.

Having only visited that ill-fated store twice and bought the potions recommended to him by his loyal subordinates, he already regretted this decision. Now he couldnʼt satisfy himself without taking these potions. And every time he had such a need, he sent his subordinates to purchase them for him, just to avoid meeting with the owner of this damned place himself.

However, today was a special occasion, and he had to come here personally, no matter how much he wished to avoid it.

”Itʼs good to see you too, Esma,” the young dragon said.

”Oya, oya. You buy potions from me every day, but youʼve only deigned to show me your pretty face a couple of times. What made you bring that pretty face to me?” asked Esma, not hiding her curiosity.

”I heard rumors that you had some interesting guests today, Esma,” the young dragon decided to give Esma a direct hint of the reason for his visit.

The dragonʼs words caught Esmaʼs attention, she finally paid attention to him and looked with her blue eyes straight into his eyes.

”And? Whatʼs wrong with them?”

”If itʼs not difficult, will you share who they were?” the dragon tried to choose the right words so as not to offend Esma inadvertently. Unlike the couple and Sierra, the dragon knew how popular this woman was among the residents of this city. And whoever offends her will become almost the enemies of the whole city. Not only her regular male clients, but also their women will stand up for her.

”Ungrateful, ill-mannered and rude customers! Donʼt you see what theyʼve done to my store?” exclaimed Esma, unable to contain her irritation, and described Sierra in harsh terms to the young dragon, pointing to the pile of broken furniture that she had to assemble.

The dragonʼs right eye twitched.

”Did that couple do it?” he asked Esma.

”A couple? No, of course not. The one who was with them did it. That old woman,” Esma corrected him.

”Hmm. So, they werenʼt alone, and there was someone else with them. And, most likely, this woman helps them hide,” the dragon concluded.

”Who knows?” shrugged Esma. ”So now tell me, who are they?”

”Do you really not know or are you pretending?” The dragon couldnʼt figure out if Esma was playing or if she really didnʼt understand who they were.

”How should I know? I serve so many clients a day that if I memorize every new one, then all my hair will turn white!”

The dragon didnʼt want to stay in this terrible store anymore. Its owner was simply unbearable.

”You should know about this couple, because theyʼve been talked about in all three cities for the last two months.” The dragon did not directly say who they were, he only gave a hint. Of course, it took Esma a moment to understand what he was talking about, but then it dawned on her.

Of course, even Esma, who spends all her time in the store, has heard of them. This is a couple who came to this place from another world. The aliens who provoked Limboʼs Mind and somehow still havenʼt been absorbed or caught.

”Really?!” exclaimed Esma. Suddenly standing in front of the dragon, Esma pressed down on it with all her Soul force, forcing it to bend down, and grabbed its horns.

The soldiers surrounding them immediately grabbed their weapons, ready to attack. They could not tolerate the disrespectful behavior of a woman towards her leader.

”Stop!” the dragon commanded, stopping his men.

”Now repeat what you said!” demanded Esma, looking into the dragonʼs eyes. That look took the dragonʼs breath away.

Although Esma was slightly shorter than ordinary women and did not have outstanding natural features, she was still a real beauty. However, the dragon knew that this beautiful flower only seemed like this at first glance. In fact, there were many poisonous thorns inside, ready to strike anyone who tried to approach.

”I said that these two are probably the aliens from another world that Limboʼs Mind is after.” This time, the dragon did not beat around the bush, but directly stated his thoughts and suspicions.

Esma, having heard what she wanted, let go of the dragonʼs horns. Having freed himself, dragon, not wanting to stay in this cursed place any longer, immediately left, taking his people with him. Dragon left Esma alone, trying not to distract her from the thoughts she was immersed in.

”Thatʼs a bitch”, Esma thought with annoyance, as an understanding of what had happened today finally formed in her head.

She realized that it was Sierra, that bitch, who was hiding the coupleʼs identity, and that was why no one could find them. Even from her, Esma, Sierra hid this information.

Two months ago, when she first heard rumors about the couple, she was overcome with the desire to go on a quest. However, she restrained herself and decided to observe the development of events.

Over time, Esma found out that the couple had ended up under the protection of the outsider leader of the third city, the same old elven witch. If she had the power of her real consciousness, she would gladly use it to break this elfʼs pride, just as her real consciousness had once dealt with the proud and annoying Ice Valkyrie of the ”Legendary” rank.

Today, this couple came to her by themselves, and by their behavior, Esma realized that they, and not Sierra, had brought them to her for some purpose. However, because of her actions, the couple ran away before they could finish.

Esma began to regret putting too much pressure on them and scaring them. She should have restrained herself.

But there was no cure for regret.

”If Sierra is covering for them, it will be difficult to find them. Besides, itʼs been a long time, and theyʼve probably already left the city,” Esma muttered.

Forgetting about her business in the store, Esma went outside and quickly caught one of the city guards, interrogated him to find out the latest news about the couple.

Esma found out all the details about the coupleʼs movements: from the third city to the Forest of Doppelgangers, where they were ambushed. Since yesterday, no one knows their exact location.

As Esma had suspected, it was Sierraʼs doing.

”If they were in the Forest of Doppelgangers yesterday, they most likely came to me right after that. Sierra had to hear about me, about the Valkyrie living in this town. Judging by her surprise when she found out it was me, she wasnʼt familiar with Valkyrieʼs identity. And if thatʼs the case, then the couple probably wanted something from Valkyrie herself, not from me personally. So they will most likely go to the first city!” — Esma began to analyze the situation, looking for an answer, and found the approximate direction of their movement.

”There will be another ”Reset” in a few days, and most likely they will decide to wait it out in the first city. So Iʼll have time to find them,” with this thought, Esma felt joy and, without wasting a minute, left the city, heading to the first city of Actacus in search of a couple.
