Love Live Online: A Bard Grudge
Checking

It was getting late when they realized. Their closeness with the villagers also improved along with the mission they managed to do. Renne also just found out if currently he can use the ability of Legendary Bard to increase the confidence of the population to him.

Renne herself was quite relieved to know that. This was very different from the two villages they had previously visited, this time the village really liked the same music as Hillford Village.

Various missions continue to be given to Renne, though he only accepts missions that can be completed quickly and are not too difficult to do along with Zerra.

They are now in the village hall, where the entire population is located and ready to have a party to celebrate the village's 21st birthday.

Various ancient lights that look elegant have also been installed in various corners of the room accompanied by makeshift decorations. Not they intend to minimize spending but indeed the current state of the village is bad and help from the kingdom never come.

Renne tries various foods along with Violet and Zerra. While Nathan himself still looks busy to improve his cooking skills. Those two people, Renne and Nathan are indeed very passionate people when it comes to something they like.

“Hmm, this meat pentol is delicious. I didn't expect it to be cooked by Nathan.” Violet looked so happy, she also occasionally fed Zerra food.

“Capability in the real world is indeed really useful in this game, although it does not apply to me who is a compounder of drugs.” Renne stopped stepping and sat on the empty chair casually, then continued, “We rest here only, I'm tired.”

“Ah, it is true if a lot of medicinal plants are not in accordance with the benefits in the real world.” Violet responded to Renne's words.

“Zerra, eat this,” Renne gives a pinch of meat pentol to Zerra.

“Let me feed him,” Violet eagerly snatched the meat prick.

Zerra looked annoyed, for a long time he did not like Violet who acted arbitrarily and immediately looked down.

Renne chuckled at Zerra. Violet is like that and likes children very much even though sometimes her actions are too excessive and never think about it.

“Ah, I want to go to the bathroom first. You guys just continue the walk.”

“Don't be long, the party is about to start.”

Renne nodded, at this moment all he was about to do was hear the entire sound recording that was still attached to the horse carriage. He had also previously checked the footage and left it in place.

The existence of a horse carriage far from the city hall also makes Renne not have to worry if someone knows what he is doing.

The streets looked so dim as Renne began to move away from the village hall. The desolate state also made for a frightening atmosphere, not so frightening for a Renne.

After a while he reached the horse-drawn carriage and boarded it. Renne retrieves the recorder she hid under the chair. The tool looks so small with a shape resembling a shirt button.

‘I can't listen to this here,’ Inner Renne.

At least he must be careful, it is true that the current situation is very quiet and quiet, but that does not mean he has to lower his vigilance.

Renne tried to walk as far as possible and decided to sit under a tree near the river. The bushes also look tall making them the most appropriate place to hide.

「Are you going to play the recording?」

「Ya.」

Renne began to listen with a voice so small, so small that she had to bring the object to her ear. The two men began to chat when they left Renne alone with Zerra.

****

After a long time of listening and never getting anything suspicious, Renne began to exhale. His suspicions are not fundamental but he must still do so if he does not want the same incident to be repeated.

Someone had just surprised Renne from the back of the shade tree, suddenly making Renne aghast to make the tool thrown into the river.

‘Ahh! 100 Pieces of gold coins have been washed away!’ inner Renne, she desperately wanted to scream and hit the person who was startling her.

“What are you doing here these nights?” The man looked at Renne suspiciously.

Renne turned her face, she also looked solemnly at the man in front of her and showed an angry expression. When he realized, the person in front of him was someone he knew.

A man who has light blue hair, sharp eyes with brownish irises, has a handsome face, and is approximately 175 cm tall. With a longsword-type sword attached to the back.

“Artelis,” Renne accidentally mentioned the person's name and immediately silenced her own mouth with handgear.

‘Is this a curse? Why do I keep saying the names of people I know?!’ inner Renne.

“Oh, have we met before? Are you one of the girls I've dated?” Artelis showed a narcissistic style that made Renne turn her face because she was not strong enough to see it.

Renne also knows who Artelis is. He is a playboy who keeps his good looks in every place he visits. Men are full of confidence and passion just like Violet.

Something bad will happen if that high self-confidence declines. For example, Artelis will continue to curl up in a corner of the room with a face of despair and it is very difficult to get her back to confidence.

”Are you starting to get interested in me? If you force me to date, maybe I'll rethink it.”

Renne was fed up with hearing Artelis's sentence in her previous life, though Renne would always confide in Artelis if something bad happened to her relationship with Dyon.

Until one day, Artelis disappeared and did not return to the White Pearl guild. It was as if his existence had disappeared from the face of this earth. Renne also checked the friendlist and never got the name Artelis. It seemed, Dyon had indeed done something to him.

Artelis brought her face closer to Renne's, causing her to push her and say, “I'm not interested in you, just go there!”

“You're really mean, I'll spread about what you're doing here. You were doing a pervert, weren't you?” Artelis raised her eyebrows with a perverted look.

Renne accidentally slapped the man firmly, in addition to the attitude of Artelis who is quite a playboy, he is also a person who is considered a little perverted and stupid, of course.
