BATTLE OR ALIVE
Chapter 07: Holiday For The Strongest

Continuing the rest of the journey, Jell and his entourage finally reached the surrounding area of Manyur village.

Can be seen their distance with the village only about tens of meters, Jell and the group chose to supervise the situation of the village first, so that the danger of the second wave could come.

Jell thought that there were still some bandits in the village and could have attacked them, although it would have no effect, but caution was also needed.

Jell tried asking for additional information from the bandit and his reaction was the same he just roared. Seeming no other choice, Jell and the troupe decide to go to the village of Manyur.

Entering the village area, it can be seen there is a small gate similar to that owned by Yull village, but there is an additional high tower inside the gate.

Entering the village area, they were required to pay an entrance tax of 500 rumiah, expensive! But Jell and Mai did not need to do that because Olokoto had already paid for it too.

Entering the village, it seemed that the village was quieter than Jell and Mai had imagined, in contrast to the crowded situation in Yull village. Few people go out and do activities, even so their condition must be very lethargic and lifeless.

They walked around in limp swings, walking towards the village chief's house, Jell bravely led the group and Olukoto was beside him.

Knocking and at the door of the house, seen who opened it is a boy aged 4-6 years, Jell kindly told the child to call his parents, what is not is the village chief.

Waiting for five minutes, a man of about 36 years old came out and there was a woman of about 28-30 years old by his side, and as expected of him, there was a woman of about 28-30 years old by his side, he looked pale with what he saw.

Mai held the head of the bandit leader, the condition of the bandit was shabby and her eyes were swollen from crying.

“What-..” was the one he whispered when he saw the bandit, as Jell had guessed, he knew this person. Jell smilingly took the bandit from Mai's hand towards the head of the Manyur village.

“Ahaha... sorry to interrupt sir, Travel Staples service has arrived safely .. But there are a few obstacles that occur, but do not worry because the goods you will buy are guaranteed security and quality … It just so happens that there are people who want to meet you.”

Jell smilingly greeted the village chief and showed that they survived. The village chief only broke out in cold sweat as he looked at the reaction from Jell with his terrifying smile, a smile whose pressure was equal to the pressure he had put out for the bastards in the guild that day.

“Order item has arrived yes sir. Alright .. Time to pay.”

Jell still with a terrifying smile conveying his words, the village chief only fell silent and suddenly kowtowed in front of Jell.

“Sorry! We currently can't pay for it, we're experiencing an economic shortage and we don't have the money to pay.”

The village chief prostrated himself in front of Jell, the reaction of Olokoto and his friends was shocked, and also the wife and child of the village chief was also shocked by what this person was doing.

Jell just stared and didn't care about it, Jell tried to lift the person up and told him to stand up so he could see it.

Jell just smiled the same as before and spoke words that seemed very inhumane.

“No, no.. You have ordered the goods and tasks we provide and deliver them so that you can pay. And if you instead do that, who will pay for this loss?”

The village chief just looked at him blankly, Jell once again smiled and once again said something to him.

“If you can't pay for it .. Why did you even order it? Isn't that stupid? and also paying the bandits to attack us, you are indeed a great person huh. I don't want to know your current condition.”

Jell's face instantly changed with a gloomy expression and a sharp gaze. The village chief suddenly turned pale and immediately shouted loudly like a possessed person.

Olokoto and the others were shocked because of his shout and astonished by that, The village chief still had not given up, he kowtowed and begged at Jell's feet.

To support his actions the village chief called and said that the bandits were wrong. The bandit chief who had been lethargic was instantly made aware of the accusation, and the two of them began to clash their mouths over the accountability of the matter.

The village chief's wife had not understood the conditions for her husband's cowardly actions and asked for an explanation, Mai responded and told him what her husband had done.

His reaction was startled by the fact and looking at her husband, his wife could not do anything with this condition and decided not to help her husband, the village chief was surprised by the fact that his wife would not help and that made him even more crazy.

It has been 3 hours from the incident at the house of the village chief of Manyur. Jell and the entourage were seen walking opposite the direction of the village and going in the previous direction, it appeared that they had already left the village and returned to the capital.

In this condition, the great loss has been borne by the village of Manyur, with a total debt of 500,000 Rumiah.

In the entourage, Jell's face looked dissatisfied and dark. Olokoto who was in the front carriage noticed that, and asked Jell's expression and attitude to Mai who was in the other direction of Jell.

Mai replied, it was one of Jell's most hateful attitudes, which was irresponsibility. Jell hated the village chief and gave no mercy to him because he had brought his ignorant subjects and hired bandits to attack them.

Jell hated him for abusing his position and felt indifferent to the village. If left untrue in the next few months, the village of Manyur will disappear from the royal map.

Olokoto who was listening to that started to understand Jell a bit. Jell who had a kind, friendly, bright attitude turned into Debt Collector with a bastard attitude, completely changed 180° from his good attitude.

Pondering what he imagined about Jell, Olokoto gave a small smile. Similar to their previous schedule, they took a break every one hour. However, due to different times, they were required to spend the night around the road while resting their horses.

The quiet night with the crescent moon adorning the night, the sound of the wind colliding with the leaves of the trees made the atmosphere even more mysterious.

Can be seen there are 3 tents there, behind the calm of the tents there are 2 people who are sitting side by side, one is leaning his head to the other shoulder, romantic sites with a blend of campfires in front of them.

“Jell~, why were you so rude to the village chief?”

Mai opened the conversation that night and while squeezing Jell's nose, but the response she received outside from it, Jell seemed to not answer and just silently stared at the bonfire.

Mai who noticed that started to roughly play Jell's nose, and just like before, she did not reply at all.

Being annoyed at being ignored, Mai directly slammed her body towards Jell and made the two of them fall off the seat. The most affected Jell felt pain in the buttocks and was angry at Mai with her idiot actions.

“A-what are you doing fucking..”.

“Finally you answered also.”

Mai smiled because she had been ignored, and began rubbing her face into Jell's chest that was falling.

“Jeelll~..”

Jell, who was out of condition, only made a wry smile and rubbed Mai's head. Mai prepared very spoiled in her arms and continued to rub her face into Jell's chest, temporarily leaving behind a scent, a distinctive scent from Mai. The aroma is soft and the fragrance is soothing.

Morning had arrived, and Jell's group continued on to the capital, arriving at the capital at exactly 10 a.m. Jell, Mai, Olokoto and the horde stood on the other side of the gate, Olokoto thanked Jell and Mai.

Olokoto and her friends were already far from their sight. Mai waved with their departure, whereas Jell just looked at her blankly, deciding her next move, Mai held Jell's hand and ran towards the guild office.

Arriving there the guild was as crowded as expected, there were many adventurers and there were some knights who were seen eating at the tavern next to the guild.

Unlike what ever happened, the male adventurers did not dare to look at the two of them, and as expected of the female adventure, they immediately shouted “Kyaa-” when they saw Jell.

Not caring about their reaction, Mai continued to pull Jell's hand and went towards the counter. Meeting with Yinn and handing over the confirmed quest sheet completed by Olokoto.

Yinn looks at the sheets and smiles at them for doing well, but she sees nothing less than this condition, namely Jell looks less talkative and Mai is more actively representing.

Usually Mai would go to the diner and order snacks and eat them there while waiting for Jell to finish to take care of the results and rewards of the quest.

And right now Mai is the one taking care of it and Jell seems to be doing nothing. Taking his leave and going to their inn, Jell was still gloomy while lying on the bed of that set.

Mai looked and smiled, the same as she had done before, Mai jumped towards Jell who was lying on the bed, like she was swimming in a sea of soft mattresses.

Shouting more than last night, Jell looked claustrophobic and in pain on her part. 

“Kha!- .. Fuck! what are you doing suddenly.”

Mai simply remained lying around in circles on the human mattress, and with a loose smile on her face, the face symbolizing comfort and indifference to the pained Jell, she was seen enjoying those moments.

Jell looked at him restraining his movements and instantly put into a dangerous position.

Jell was on top and Mai was lying on her back under him, Jell locked her hands and locked the resistance. A dangerous position, but Jell just kept looking at Mai's face sharply. Their faces are only about a few cm long and they will kiss.

Mai's face flushed red and smoky was strong, whereas Jell just stared at her very sharply, both of them just staring at each other and neither attacking nor defending each other.

“What you will do now..”.

Jell asked that in a small voice against her attack to Mai. Mai could feel Jell's breath on her face, it was refreshing.

Mai just fell silent unable to react. He seemed to have resigned and would let himself be taken full by Jell. And answer that question in the same tone.

“You ... Want to impregnate me now? … Without marriage, would it be okay with that..?”

(TN : Here I use the word to support the conditions that occur, if using Indonesian the effect seems inappropriate, and it is more appropriate to use the word. Baka \= fool.)

Jell responded to Mai's reply and remained with the same aura, and eventually Jell released her key and sat down on the chair in the room, holding her head, holding her, Jell looked regretful for making such a bad impression while sighing deeply.

He said, “What I did, even if it was just a joke, he would still be angry if it was like that. Maybe.” Is what Jell muttered in his heart. Mai usually does not care about crazy things, but if the Jell thing has arrived like that, it seems too excessive to just mess around.

Mai looked at him, got up and looked at him and spoke.

“Your attitude has not changed at all. Though this is another world, but you are still the same as you used to be.. And I do not hate your attitude... You are actually angry just because the village chief involved his citizens right? And that's where you get mad.”

“Mai..”

Jell smiled slightly as she looked at Mai who understood her. Jell and Mai have lived together for 10 years, and of course Mai already knows what she likes and does not like, and Jell was the opposite.

Their closeness was really sticky, so it could be said Jell knew the three sizes belonged to Mai, it was because Mai who often dressed indecently in her room, and Jell has hit him a lot because of his inappropriate actions.

Mai approached Jell who was sitting and sat down again the forehead of the two met each other, and they laughed and smiled loosely.

 At that moment Jell was able and so was Mai, telling him she loved him. For a moment Jell felt very happy and light because of the comfort provided by Mai, and those things passed until night came.

A bright morning the next day. Jell and Mai went to the guild to repay Jell's debt from the sword a few days ago, and after that, they went again to the clothing store to buy Jell's clothes.

Jell was shocked by what she saw, the store manager running towards Mai who was seen entering her shop.

Jell was made aware because she saw Mai and the store owner looking familiar, having the same reaction as Mai when she first met the store manager.

The store manager with a surprised smile saw the guest that Mai brought to her shop. 

“Ciss~ Warning-San I came to visit.”

“Arara~? You brought your girlfriend to my store?”

“Can be said so. Hehe... how, do you think?”

“Maa~ He's really handsome. Basis~ you're here not only shows that, right?”

“We came to buy clothes for her.”

“Alright! Let's choose which one you want~”

Choosing adventurous clothes for Jell, the store owner showed off all clothes that matched Jell's. But beyond what was expected, the shopkeeper was seen researching every part of Jell's body, and he looked strange.

The shopkeeper then whispered something to Mai and immediately Mai's face shone with a scary loose smile, what the store owner said was unknown to Jell.

While cool to see the clothes that fit him, he was shocked because there was an incredible energy pulling his shoulders, pulling him towards the changing room.

“Ap-!”

His shout was not continued because the shop owner and Mai were also in the dressing room, the movement was both so fast and Jell who could not understand the situation, Jell could not respond, he said, and immediately their movements stopped and what happened made Jell speechless.

“Horaa~... Already done~!”

“Arara~ turned out to be suitable as well, my eyes will not misjudge!”

Jell was speechless standing in front of the mirror, what she saw was a short-haired beautiful woman in sweet clothes, in a blue and white dress. Her hair was tied in two pigtails, and a yellow ribbon was added, the skirt only reached the knees, with tassels, and did not forget the star-shaped magic wand on her right hand.

“Akhg-!”

Jell seemed to be mentally damaged due to the appearance that had removed her man's might, what happened to her being that blankets her.

He does know that his face is similar to a woman's face, but if practiced will make the self-esteem that he built as a man for 17 years lost swept clean, clean, like dust carried by the wind.

And once upon a time when her little sister Jelika dressed her up while she was asleep, and upon waking up she was shocked to see her face like someone else's.

When Jell couldn't respond, the shopkeeper noticed her with shining eyes.

“You really fit that, if you want, I'll give it free.”

By saying inappropriate words to her, and Mai's reaction was to laugh out loud. She laughed until she lay on the floor, she could not bear if the Jell she had known all along would match the woman's clothes, and as she looked at it head on, she could not bear it, it made him unable to bear to not laugh out loud.

Go from the clothing store, with results. Jell gets the adventurous outfits she likes, and a bonus from the store owner, namely the free ‘Witch Cute Love’ outfit, and their goal now is to head to the county store to replace Mai's Dual Knife.

The city seemed bustling with bustle everywhere, there were merchants, knights, adventurers, and more. The journey was pleasant, and the comfort did not last long. There were a number of people next to the street, standing looking at them. Nope. But looking at Mai.

Mai could also feel the gazes of those people and decided to ignore them.

Walking past them just like that, but outside of what they were thinking, those people suddenly stood up as Jell and Mai passed by them.

It seems they weren't so scary from those bastard pads back then. However, their loathsome gazes were stronger than the bastards before.

You can see their ugly faces. They immediately turned their faces watered as they stared at Mai, as if they were eager to do something to her. Jell who responded to that immediately turned their heads.

They numbered 7, and they surrounded Mai with less distance between them. They don't care about Jell, they won't even be aware of her presence. Jell who lost her patience immediately faced them.

“Kalian. What are you guys doing?”

Those people who had originally not noticed him, now looked at him with different gazes than before, they were arrogant expressions with their chins forward.

Faces that show the meaning of “Who you call talk.” can be directly seen from their faces.

Those who had been surrounding Mai, now turned around Jell. They attempt to corner it to make their aura bigger by cornering Jell.

It was an effective choice to suppress the person who was going to fight them, yet Jell looked at them sharply and those people looked at him as well. Jell who seemed to want to take action, was stopped by Mai.

“No need Jell- .. Let me do it. To let them know who they are flirting with.”

Mai held Jell and Jell was astonished at her. As if understanding what Mai was going to do, Jell backed off and smiled slightly.

“Oi oi, miss. You want to fight us? … Hahahah, you are so arrogant for a woman .. Here let me teach you a lesson, until you regret your actions!”

Those people looked at Mai and laughed out loud because of her words. They like to assume that Mai is playing around and they do not put up a defensive position.

Humiliated by their words, Mai instantly formed the horses. With a position that can be seen, he will kick right towards the head of the person in front of him.

In a short period of time, Mai raised her legs and with a dazzling position kicked the head of the person in front of her.

The men looked at their friend, and it was seen that the man was vomiting blood and his eyes were bleached. They instantly looked at Mai and their reactions suddenly changed. They were terrified and broke out in cold sweat motionless. And one of them blatantly shouted.

“M-sorry! I am innocent! I just followed them and forced me to help, .. So I have nothing to do with this right?!”

That person made excuses by sacrificing his friends, truly despicable, more despicable than animals.

Mai looked at her and the person either thought Mai would follow her words, suddenly turning around and retreating casually. Mai who saw it, instantly shouted at him.

“You had nothing to do with what you said? Sorry but, you guys have fed me up, so no word for mercy.”

Less than 5 minutes, the men were lying on the ground bleeding. Mai looked very angry with one of them.

Get out of that place. Towards the store that had previously been visited by Jell, Mai decided to buy according to her wishes.

Dual Knife is dark with red blades, with a length of about 20cm, the blades are very sharp. It has a remarkable effect, increasing agility by 10%, skill effect by 10%, and cut accuracy by 10%.

With that Jell and Mai already have all the needs and perfect equipment.support clothing and weapons according to their respective classes. All of that shows that Jell and Mai are already seen as adventurers with yellow rank.
