Upon Mitchell’s explanation, everyone’s attacks began to concentrate on Hori’s stomach.
[/Party, it’s not just the stomach. It’s the flesh between the upper and lower parts that’s exposed. Seems like the clothes are playing the role of armor.]In response to Kite’s explanation, Hazen replied.
[/Party, if you just stand still, the flesh doesn’t show. Let’s make him juggle or dance.]As Hori’s movements became more significant, attacking became difficult, but the weakness was more exposed. Currently, there seemed to be no choice but to use that method.
[/Party Still, dancing might be better than juggling, right?]
In response to Hazen’s question, Kite answered.
[/Party Yeah. When Hori dances, flames come out of the stick, so just be careful of that.]When Hori danced, flames flew in all directions as he shook the stick by raising both arms. However, attacking was easier than when he juggled, so Hazen gently urged Hori.
“Hori, you used to dance so well. How about dancing again? Your flute sound is too messy.”
【What? Are you saying my flute sound is messy?】
“Yeah. We met an amazing musician named Vincent not long ago, and he played a fantastic performance with a violin and piano. Your flute sound is way too inadequate compared to that. But your dance is excellent.”
Annoyed by Hazen’s words, Hori, who had been in a bad mood, laughed and nodded happily at the praise for his dance.
【My dance is indeed excellent. I’ll show you.】
The moment Hori started dancing, Kite raised his hand. Following his signal, everyone’s attacks focused on the exposed flesh of Hori as he shook his arms, revealing his bare skin.
【Ouch, it hurts. Please don’t do that.】
As concentrated attacks were poured toward the exposed belly under the raised top, Hori stopped dancing and protested.
“Oops, it’s hot. Don’t do that. Do you know how hot these flames are?”
Raphael, unable to avoid the flying fireball, shook his burnt hand, expressing annoyance.
Seeing that, Hori chuckled and, with excited movements, started dancing again.
Taking advantage of this, Raphael’s angry ice attack was unleashed on Hori’s exposed flesh.
Ruel quickly healed Dane after looking at Raphael and flipped the shield to deflect the incoming fireball.
【This is cheating. What if you attack during the gap when I want to show my dance?】
“If you keep attacking with flame during your dance, we can’t just stand there.”
【I am Kurran, Duke Hori of the clown. If you want to see my dance, pay the price for it!】
Suddenly, a purple light circulated around Hori’s body, and his voice and tone began to change.
[/Party Remaining HP is 5%. There are 45 seconds until the body grows more significant… Seeing the transformation, it seems like the last resistance. Everyone, endure a little more and pour out all the attacks.]Encouraged by Kite, everyone brought out their finishing moves.
“4%!”
Hazen shouted.
At that moment, near the entrance, Ruel heard some sound.
“I can hear something outside. It seems like the overseer has come. What should we do?”
After glancing at the entrance, Kite swung his sword fiercely again.
“Right in front?”
“No, it’s still a bit far away.”
“For now, forget about it and focus on the attack. Have the mindset that we can’t do anything even if we get caught.”
“2%!”
Raphael clicked on an attack enhancement potion and shouted.
“As soon as he dies, we need to acquire the key and return immediately, right?”
Mitchell switched his weapon to dual swords and approached Horina, slashing while asking, “Where is the key? We can’t waste time looking for it like before…”
Quickly responding to Tien’s concern, Ruelala said, “The key is inside the head of that swinging stick.”
“1%. Done!”
As Kite’s finishing blow landed, Horina collapsed.
“Quickly to the key.”
Now, everyone’s ears were filled with a commotion.
Hazen held up a ring and spoke softly, “Found it, looks like this is the key. Let’s go!”
As they arrived at the Square of the Capital, Ruelala, who was holding a finger over the teleportation on the map, turned the key after checking it, flipping the hat of her cloak.
[/Party Oh, this is awkward. Act as nonchalant as possible.]As soon as they arrived at the Fountain Square, Hazen posted a message in the chat.
Since they weren’t riding a carriage, their appearance was fully exposed. In order to avoid the curious glances like before, the group had to pretend casually to look at the bulletin board in front of them, making an effort to cover their faces.
Perhaps because of their shameless behavior earlier, the people who were staring at them with suspicion soon returned to their own activities.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
