Chapter 37 - Do you mind?

Kasai died not long after because of too many injuries coupled with the drawback of having his Magic Power multiplied by Oga.

Marc didn't realize he was dead before he told him a few annoying jokes. Scratching his head in embarrassment while looking at Rofta and Gina who looked at him too.

Then he went over to them with his hands behind his head, looking like someone who doesn't care about anything. "Yo, who are you? By the way, I'm Marc."

As she was caught off guard a little by the question and the carefree attitude, she answered after a little time. "…My name is Gina."

"Nice to meet you, monster girl." Marc said with a spirited voice, though being called 'monster girl' triggered her hidden anger!

"I'M NOT A MONSTER GIRL!!" Gina yelled furiously. Normally she would have forced herself to be silent but Marc's annoying personality triggered something inside her.

Because of the loudness, Marc put a little finger in his ear to lesson it and clean it. Two birds with one stone. "Would you stop yapping about the small stuff? If you don't quieten down, that guy might raise from the dead and runway", he said before looking if any gold came out of his ear. Some earwax was on his little finger and he unintentionally blew it on Rofta's shirt with the assistance of the wind.

Rofta looked down at the ear wax on his shirt before his head began glowing redder with each second. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING, PIPSQUEAK?" He yelled in Marc's other ear.

"Ah? Now you are yelling too? Say, are you two ganging up on me? Bring it on!" If they wanted to fight, then they got it. Marc and Rofta began brawling after not meeting each other for 6 months. Gina just looked at the two boys fighting before she couldn't help laughing. Something she hasn't done in a long time

*Giggle* "Hehehehahaa…"

When the two brawling boys heard her laughter, they stopped and looked at her. Realizing what she was doing, she stopped and looked on the ground in embarrassment.

"Say, what are you going to do now?" Marc reminded her she was alone and lost for what she should do. The surviving villagers would surely spread the news of her having Devil Slayer Magic and the kingdom will put up a bounty to kill her.

Seeing her sad face, Marc asked "How about joining our party as adventures?" That question got him a slap on the back of his head from Rofta before he said "Are you stupid? She has Devil Slayer Magic. In case you don't know what that is, then it's a devil's magic that is forbidding in the Kingdom of Fiore. If she joins us, then it's only a matter of time before we will be wanted all over the country!"

After Marc heard the revelation of Gina's magic, he literary had stars in his eyes. "Devil Slayer Magic? You soooo much have to join!!" Not hearing any of Rofta's words, went beside Gina and clapped her on her shoulder as a welcoming like it was already decided. He learning his lesson not to touch any inappropriate places as he did with Lisa.

Seeing his friend not caring about his words, Rofta just shrugged as he just intended to mention it. He will just disguise her before they reach the capital and tell her not to use her magic when people are watching.

Feeling the warmth in her heart, Gina asked just to be sure it wasn't a dream or nightmare.

"…Can I really join you guys?" While almost crying, she asked for confirmation.

"Sure, why not?" Marc said, smiling and having his hands behind his head.

"Humph, don't be so happy. I bet you would want to leave the party after being together with this idiot for more than a week!" Seeing her smile, Rofta wanted to warn her. The 'real' monster here might be Marc, as he always does and says things out of the norm.

"I will not!!" Exclaimed Gina.

…

Lisa was on her way home from a tiring day of work her little sister forced her to do at the guild. "When will Marc come back? I miss him so much!" She thought.

When she reached her home, she immediately spotted the broken window and a magic signature from behind a door.

Using her Celestial Magic to summon a pair of golden gauntlets on her arms, she opened the door very quickly and was about to attack whoever decided to break into her house and beat the living daylight out of him. But she froze when she saw the person behind the door.

"Oh, hey Lisa. You are finally home? But do you mind? I'm a little busy right now…" Marc greeted while sitting on a stone toilet with a very serious expression, using every muscle to empty his stomach.

The situation at hand transpired because Marc broke into Lisa's house as she wasn't home when he reached it after traveling to the capital once again with his new addition to the party. Having problems with his stomach, he decided to just break in as her toilet is way better than just a bucket to shit in at the guild.

Still frozen, Lisa just nodded before she slowly backed out of the door again before closing the door. Leaning on the door with embarrassment after realizing what just happened, her cheeks turned crazy red while mumbling "I must be missing Marc so much that I'm hallucinating. Why on the toilet though…?"

"Ey, could you go somewhere else? It's pretty hard doing my business when you are behind the door!" Marc said loudly behind the door, finally making Lisa believe the reality she was in.

.

.

.

After half an hour, the door to the toilet opened and Marc got out telling himself "That helped a lot, I feel light as a feather again!" Before quickly closing the door as to not let the gas get out of the 'gas chamber'.

Then he walked into the living room where Lisa is sitting while hiding her face in embarrassment with her hands and rolling around on her couch.

She heard the sound of Marc coming into the room and stopped hiding her face to look at him.

"Oh, don't mind me and continue your fight with the couch, though my money is on the couch…If I had any." While pointing at the coach, Marc said to tease her.

"Pl-please stop teasing me Marc and come and tell me how your training was. Your Magic Power has increased so much, that I couldn't recognize your magic signature." Lisa said squeezing her hands between her thighs.

"Only if you give dinner? Oh, and please help our new party member with training her cool magic!" Marc said. In Lisa's eyes though, he just praised another woman when he said 'she'.

…

Rofta and Gina were in the guild waiting for Marc. They wanted to talk to Lisa regarding how they can get Gina signed up as an adventurer without revealing her Devil Slayer Magic. Unlucky as they were, Lisa just left a little while ago and went home.

Then Gina suddenly felt a shiver down her spine and looked around confused, as to where that feeling came from. She was wearing a grey cloak, as wearing a black one would be totally suspicious in everyone's eyes.

While they were waiting for Marc coming back from the toilet in the guild like they thought he was, Rofta spotted Nina, Lisa's twin sister, and walked up to her. "Hello, can we speak with the guild master?"

Nina, who heard someone talking to her, turned to the side and looked at them and asked "Aren't you in the same party with my big sisters- I mean with Marc?" She was about to say big sister's husband but realized she shouldn't make Marc a target for jealousy and anger as many would love to be in his place were around them, despite being scared of Lisa.

"Yes, this is our new member. We have a request for the guild master to help us with. Can you help us meeting her when Marc comes back from the toilet?" Rofta explained their purpose in seeking Lisa.

"I don't mind. But I just saw Marc leaving the guild in a hurry though? And Lisa ran away from her work before I could tell he was back…" Nina told what she saw. Marc ran because he was about to shit himself, and decided to play the risky game by going to Lisa's house.
