Chapter 324 Planning For The Golem While Resting
"She\'s in my inventory."
"I don\'t recall you being able to toss living beings inside there…"
Evan turned to Eliza upon hearing her statement and replied with a smile.
"Exactly. I can\'t"
Seeing his reply, the others didn\'t need to be geniuses to figure out that the poor demon was dead, with Pride\'s gaze turning to the unconscious Faerora who was wrapped in Kuro\'s restraining shadows and noticed a thin line of blood dripping from her lips.
"So, where to next?
Are we going after that mass of flesh that\'s heading for the next town?
Would we even be able to catch up to it?"
"Yeah, we are. It\'s slow.
We have to be flashy about it too."
"Flashy about it?"
Evan nodded in response to Eliza\'s question as he pulled out some ropes from his inventory and disengaged Kuro\'s shadows, before proceeding to tie up the unconscious Faerora.
"They\'re magic-infused ropes, so they\'re stronger than normal.
Also, Kuro wouldn\'t have to stress himself with shadows while we\'re moving."
The boy spoke as he quickly tied up the unconscious elf, however, Eliza, Pride and Greed all had twitching eyebrows after they saw the way he did so.
He had laid her on her stomach while binding her ankles and arms behind her back. He then went on to tie another rope around her torso, just above her breasts.
Upon seeing him pull out another rope to tie the woman with, Eliza finally snapped and grabbed his shoulder, a ring of green light appearing around her wrist as she slowly started squeezing his arm with her full strength while giving him a death glare.
"Evan, would you be as kind as to tell me what the fuck you\'re doing?"
Anyone could tell that she was very obviously pissed off seeing her boyfriend tie another woman up bondage-style right in front of her.
However, the reply that Evan gave was totally out of her and everyone else\'s expectations.
"Besides practising for when I eventually tie you up in bed, what else could I possibly be doing?"
He said it like it was a matter of fact, with an expression on his face that made it seem like he could not understand why they\'d think he could possibly be doing anything else.
The reactions of those who heard his reply were varied, with Eliza turning red as a tomato and Kayla tilting her head in confusion while trying to wrap her mind around why tying someone up to sleep (in bed) was even a thing.
As for Greed and Pride, the two siblings facepalmed simultaneously, with Greed finally understanding a bit of how Pride felt having to deal with Evan\'s antics for the past year.
"Just tie her up like any normal human being would do so, okay?"
"But I\'m not a hu-."
"Just do it normally".
Pride just barely held herself back from snapping at the young hero who chose the wrong time, place, and occasion for his antics.
After a few awkward minutes, they finally managed to get their conversation back on track.
"The impact of the civilians, whatever adventurers, merchants, knights or maybe even nobles who are presently in that town, seeing us defeating the large over 20+ metre tall monster that probably dwarfs every building in that town and is easily capable of destroying said town, would definitely garner us more than a bit of fame and repute for our strength.
There\'s no way stories about such an event wouldn\'t spread.
Even the common people who wouldn\'t be able to gauge the monster\'s level of strength, its large size is enough to make them realise that it\'s definitely strong as fuck."
Evan hugged the waist of the slightly displeased Eliza and attempted to coax her after he was done speaking, with Greed bringing up something that he had noticed Evan was doing for a while now.
"I\'ve been wanting to ask this ever since we helped that first county with evacuations, but you\'re really taking advantage of this situation to boost your popularity with the masses, aren\'t you?"
"Yep.
Even if I didn\'t do all this, we\'d definitely get more famous after the end of this whole situation, even more so when we all eventually become A rankers, but I\'m just using this opportunity to lay a foundation.
Besides, I\'m also doing this now so people know that I am already freakin strong while I\'m still so young."
When the high demon tilted his head in confusion in response to the boy\'s words, Evan sighed and spoke.
"Dude, I\'m just 13. And I\'m already over level 200."
"haaa???!!"
The deadly sin demon exclaimed in shock as the young hero\'s age was brought to his notice for the first time.
"You\'re seriously just 13? I thought you were like 2 or 3 years older."
Evan chuckled lightly before pointing to his head and speaking.
"I\'m a bit older up here, but this body is physically just 13 years of age."
Once again, the high demon was momentarily confused by Evan\'s strange phrasing, but the other high demon present only narrowed her eyes slightly as she arrived at a conjecture from hearing Evan\'s words.
\'-This body- huh?
I guess that pretty much confirms my suspicions.\'
"Anyway, I\'m a 13-year-old B-rank adventurer.
The guild master at Yelcyne also said that I\'m the guild\'s youngest B ranker, and pretty much the youngest B ranker in the world.
And if I become a grandmaster while I\'m still 13, then I\'d be breaking the world record of being the youngest grandmaster-level existence.
Hopefully, I don\'t run into another \'wall\' along the way."
Evan\'s last statement made Eliza\'s brow twitch slightly as she spoke.
"Dude, you just jinxed yourself."
"…"

[The goddess \'Artemisia\' watches in silence]
[The \'Eternal of Time and Destruction\' says that your world record is quite low. Where I\'m from, we had ten-year-old grandmasters.]
[The goddess \'Artemisia\' implores \'The Eternal of Time and Destruction\' to please stop lying, further stating that even he only became a grandmaster at 13 years of age.]
"Huh? I\'m pretty much doing the same thing you did, so why the hell do you keep talking like I\'m being slow?"
[The goddess \'Artemisia\' says that this is why she keeps telling you not to listen to whatever bullshit he spouts.]
