Combat Maid Harem

"... What?"

Lawrend stared at the manager in disbelief.

"I don't know how long that Storage Ring could last, but… It's yours now," the manager grinned at Lawrend.

"Scammer! Give me back my money!" Lawrend shouted to the manager angrily.

He couldn't believe that he was so easily duped once again. Maybe, he's not made to be a merchant.

"Nope. You already bought it. Also, you can see at the corner of the receipt that we have a no return policy," the manager said to Lawrend calmly.

"What the!?"

Lawrend looked at the receipt, and it was there.

"Hmph. I'll also give you whatever you were about to buy earlier for free as my parting gift," the manager said to him with a wide smile on his face.

"No way! I don't want any of your shitty clothes!" Lawrend shouted in anger.

He felt humiliated that he was duped again. Once Aleshia finds out about this, he would be laughed at.

"Hmph. Whatever," the manager snorted and shrugged his shoulders.

"I'll make you pay for this," Lawrend threatened.

"You dare!" the manager snapped angrily.

"Let's go!" Lawrend said to Nuon and Logan.

The two of them followed him outside of the clothing store. Throughout the way, Lawrend was fuming in anger. He even had the urge to raze the whole place to the ground.

If it weren't for the fact that they had to complete this special mission first, then Lawrend would have destroyed everything in this store. There is also the problem that the security in this city would arrest him.

"Lawrend, it's okay. 50,000 gold can easily be earned back. Don't do anything that will make us fail," Nuon calmed down Lawrend worriedly as he followed behind him.

"Is that all you're worried about? Succeeding this special mission?" Lawrend stared into Nuon's eyes.

"N-No…" Nuon replied nervously.

"Don't lie. I know that you wouldn't have sided with me if I didn't prove myself to be better than Logan," Lawrend said to Nuon angrily.

"Lawrend! Calm down! What are you doing venting your anger on us!?" Logan stopped Lawrend with his hands.

"And you! If it weren't for this team special mission, then I would have crushed your balls!"

Lawrend his head turned to Logan angrily.

"You! I have been enduring all this time! Don't make me attack you in the middle of this town!"

Logan threatened Lawrend with his face twisted in anger.

"What? Can you even win against me?" Lawrend asked Logan and raised his head to look down on him.

"F*ck! You're right!" Logan cursed angrily.

He had already seen Lawrend's power. It would be idiotic of him to challenge him to a fight. Just the attack speed of Lawrend's lightning magic would make him kneel in defeat.

Just as Logan was arguing with Lawrend, Nuon opened his mouth and said, "...Lawrend, you're right. I only listen to you because I believe that you will lead us to success in this special mission more than Logan will.

"But that doesn't mean that you could doubt me! I'm putting my trust in you! I listened to Logan back then because he was the team captain, and I thought the academy must have put him in charge because he's capable. I realized I was wrong. That's why I'm listening to you in the first place.

"If you're gonna continue being an asshole and venting your anger on us, then I would rather fail this special mission, right here, right now!"

Nuon's words were full of emotion. It moved Logan, who at first, felt pained hearing his words.

As for Lawrend, he opened his eyes in realization. He got too focused on his mistake that he started venting it to the people around him.

True. It was painful to be scammed twice in this life, but that doesn't mean that he should vent his anger. Life is an ever-moving race. If you let one setback make you stop, then you don't deserve to win the race.

Suddenly, Lawrend's vision faded. He felt his body grow heavy and his vision darkened.

"Lawrend!" Nuon called out in alarm.

He caught the unconscious Lawrend in reflex.

[Continuation from Chapter 40: Another Lawrend]

'One day, I will take back my rightful place,' the other Lawrend said to Lawrend solemnly.

"What do you mean?" Lawrend asked him in confusion.

'Just like what you said. One setback will not make me, or rather, us, give up. I yearn for the day that we meet in person,' the other Lawrend said to him with a meaningful smile.

"A-Aren't you dead?" Lawrend asked him in confusion.

'I am. But I live inside you…' the other Lawrend replied.

Suddenly, the scene slowly faded away. It didn't let the other Lawrend finish his words.

"HAHHH!" Lawrend shouted and sat up.

He panted heavily as he looked around him in confusion.

"W-What? Where am I?" Lawrend asked himself in confusion.

He stared at the ceiling, and it was the ceiling of his room in Cat Inn.

"Huh?"

Lawrend perked his ears to the shower room. He could hear the sound of running water coming from inside.

Before long, the door was opened.

It was Nuon, he was wearing a towel as he walked out.

"Oh, you're awake," Nuon looked at Lawrend in surprise.

"What happened?" Lawrend asked him solemnly.

"You suddenly dropped unconscious. We brought you back to the inn," Nuon said to him.

"About what I said, I'm really sorry."

Lawrend bowed his head to Nuon in apology.

"You better be! We carried you here safe and well while we were fuming in anger. Don't you know how much we held back?" Nuon said to Lawrend with dissatisfaction on his face.

"How many days has it been?" Lawrend asked him and turned his head to the open window.

The sun's golden ray shone inside the room.

"It was just last night," Nuon replied to him.

"Huh. Anyways, I am really sorry for what I said. I allowed my emotions to get into my head," Lawrend apologized to Nuon again.

"You're decent, at least," Nuon said to Lawrend with a smirk.
