You Stole my Quest

And just like that, the Giant was dead. Couldn't even put up much of a fight. It happened so fast that none of us could even move our heads to watch him.

"Hey wait, so since he killed the Giant would that mean he gets the quest money?" I asked.

Alice's face gave me a blank expression. Great, we did all of that just to lose our paycheck.

"Nah you guys can keep the reward. With how powerful and popular I am I'll just make the money back in no time." Koda said, stroking his ego.

Onar fell to the ground and presumably passed out. He definitely looked beat up so I wasn't surprised he was tired.

Koda walked away from the Giant King's corpse and went to me. He got up right in my face and just stared at me. I moving my head back a little out of reflex.

"I-is there something wrong?" I asked, still having my head back.

Koda pulled away, "nothing, you just remind me of someone."

Akio had finally stood up and was standing with Alice. Ichiro was still face first on the ground snoring loudly.

"Hm, I guess as a thank you for clearing out all those giants I'll escort all four of you back to town. I might even give you my autograph!" Koda said, bursting with ego.

I could see that his personality was really pissing Alice off. Though it's not like she was trying to keep it a secret with how she was trying to make her way over to him with an angry face. The only thing stopping her was Akio trying his hardest to hold her back.

"I don't think we need an autograph but that escort back to town sounds nice." I said.

Koda had an annoyed look on his face when I declined his autograph offer. Not that it bothered me though.

"Well let's get going then." Koda said, picking up Ichiro by his collar.
