Jealously, Obsession and Madness

Afterwards everything went well, except some boys looking at Izumi with fear, jelaous, envy, etc.

Of course, not directly. They don't to be next Cookie.

He shrugged and let them be as they were just small frogs in a bottom of well. Sooner or later they would understand it anyway so why bother.

Shizuku was occassionally stealing some glances at Izumi, to which Grayfia was aware of.

When they arrived outside, they were gobsmacked by the sights of soldiers waiting for them.

But not in a welcoming manner.. All of them were glaring at Hero's party in anger.

Luckily, Cookie was unconscious if not he would be lying on his death bed.

"This is not welcoming at all.." Someone nervously said from the Heroes side and everyone nodded except Izumi & co.

Izumi was rubbing his temples in annoyance since he knew it was as he feared.

'Fuck!'

________

Now everyone were inside a bar behind the guild.

*Gulp* *Gulp* *Gulp*

Izumi was drinking vigorously as he missed this for who knows how many days had passed.

Grayfia, Tio, Shia and Yue were talking with each other on another side.

Only Hajime was with Izumi but he couldn't bring himself to drink Alcohol. Even though he has high alcohol tolerance.

"Truly, Thank You for saving me.. I really thought I would die." Izumi heard some gratitude words from his left.

"*Hic*.. Don't worry Meld-san. It was a *Hic* a coincidence.. Yeah, just a coincidence. *Gulp*." Izumi replied in a drunken voice.

Even though he was strongest, he still couldn't escape drunkeness.

Ah, another thing Cookie had already awakened and was hiding inside the bar along with the rest of his classmates.

Yes, the reason they were inside the bar was to protect themselves since it was a VIP property.

Izumi had managed to solved the crowd problem before it could escalated something uncontrollable. He told them it was only boy's faults and the girls were victims, many protested to kill or demote their ranks...well, Izumi tried further but had a hidden wolfish grin on his face.

As for why none dared to refused his claims? It's because his deeds in Furhen and his identity as a Strongest Gold Rank Adventurer was already spread.

______

"Eeeep!" The sudden voice destroyed the peaceful atmosphere.

"Next *Hic* Time I won't miss." Izumi warned then went to his drinking.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU BASTARD!" A boy with one arm shouted with a purple face.

"Cookie, Stop!" Shizuku yelled.

(A/N: 🤣🤣 Cookie.)

It was that Delusional idiot Cookie. He was constantly showering Izumi with hostility. So Izumi threw a knife, shocking him as he didn't noticed when it landed near his ear.

Cookie thought that it was his chance to take his revenge as the man responsible for everything was drunk and he wouldn't able to distinguish anything...and he would be able to defeat him pretty easily.

With that he may gained those beauties attention.

"Hey! You bastard! How dare you ignore me!"

"Huh!!" Izumi turned around with half opened eyes.

"Who are you anyways?"

Cookie immediately went for his sword but in the next moment Grayfia appeared infront of him and froze his remaining arm.

Huh? What just happened?

"My master is little drunk so I don't think it's a good idea to fight him." A cold voice woke him from his stupor.

"Y-y-you.."

"You coward hiding behind a woman. Come and fight me!" Cookie knew he couldn't defeat this woman so he tried to poke the drunken Izumi.

*Gasp*

Everyone present in the bar gasped hearing Cookie provocation. They all had similar thoughts.

'Is he trying to commit suicide?'

After all, they had seen his power first hand and knew none of them were his match even if they teamed up, regardless to say this nonsensical fool.

"You shouldn't *Hic* have interfered here, Fia-chan." Izumi said as he got up and began to walk towards Cookie, unsteadily.

Grayfia got worried as she knew he always had bad alcohol tolerance but still loved to drink. She would never understand this, why he does that and was dumfounded by his reply.

"You'll the never understood the beauty of drinking... unless you try, my Fia-chan."

Needlessly to say, that day he fell asleep in bathroom.

It happened in his home world.

Also, you should know about Grayfia's Alcohol tolerance anyway...No she hadn't tried it yet.

_____

"You want to fight....me?" He asked with a clueless expression. He was looking at the floor by the way.

"Izumi-chan, come on. You're drunk. We should go back." Tio arrived and supported Izumi by holding him before he falls.

She immediately sent a glare at Cookie who backed down in fear.

She along with few others understood Cookie's intentions.

"Tio-chan, you look so beautiful...come here, muuhhh."

Izumi praised Tio and tried to kiss her.. alas.

"Are you scared? Haha... I knew it. You're nothing but a coward who hides behind a beautiful woman." Cookie again provoked Izumi and didn't forgot to praise Tio at the same time.

How come he would allow his women to kiss another man... Absolutely not!

He already thought them as his woman the moment he laid his eyes on them. They should be belong to him since he's a Hero.

Tio snorted at this delusional bug.

Does he really think he is winning? Even in this state Izumi won't need to lift his hand to defeat him.

Humans are always like this. Their delusions truly know no bounds.

Tio snorted again.

"Stop it Cookie! You can't just keep running that mouth of yours." Shizuku said angrily.

"..Even you Shizuku.. Uh!...I get it. He must be controlling you like he does with them. Don't worry Shizuku, I'll save you from his control." Cookie was surprised at his 'friend' outburst but immediately his delusional part, thought of her as a victim of Izumi's 'control'.

Yes, that must be it.. There's a no way MY Shizuku would say something like this.

Just you wait, Shizuku-chan. I'll free you from this evil villian.

"....."

"....."

Pin drop silence... Everyone were speechless by this. Even Izumi had some sense returned to him when he heard something beyond that surpassed anime logic.

... Honestly, he would never know how he reached that conclusion.

Is that how a delusional mind works? He'll never know.

"I see.. So you're jealous..haha. This is hilarious. A Self-Delusional Hero...Hm, this title fit perfectly for you. However too bad, you won't be able to daydream about saving anyone princess because...." Izumi paused for a bit.

"Because You're a fucking useless piece of shit who can't get a single girl with those shitty charming ability of yours..... Self-Delusional fool! Keep on dreaming, may be one day you'll have a wet dream.....hahha."

He laughed as he mocked Cookie who was seething in anger.

"Pfff" Hajime laughed a little hearing his last sentence.

Even some of his classmates laughed at him.

"I'LL KILL YOU!!" Cookie said as he broke Grayfia's ice and dashed at Izumi.

"No you won't."

Izumi replied as he separated himself from Tio, and tap his foot, before Cookie could swing his big sword.

He was instantly pinned down and immobilized, ended up making a deep crater on the bar floor.

"Annnnn!! ..Mu-i...ba.....budai...." Only his alien language was heard.

(A/N: Guess, which ability it was?)
