I Was Kidnapped By The Strongest Guild
Chapter 433: Want to Fight?!

I hadn't expected Jeffrey to show interest in the beast-kin village.

Come to think of it, it was odd that Jeffrey, who loved wandering around, was in Master's office at this hour.

'Did he want to hear about the beast-kin village?'

If I'd known, I could have taken Jeffrey with us.

Though it was too late now, that didn't mean Jeffrey had lost his chance.

"Jeffrey, would you like a quick interview?"

"Interview? If I pass, can I go to the beast-kin village?"

"Yes, that's right."

At the mention of an interview, Jeffrey, who had been sitting comfortably, adopted a polite posture.

Though he didn't say anything, his intent to participate in the interview was clear.

Despite our friendship allowing for a more casual interview, Jeffrey maintained his politeness.

Levinas seemed to approve of Jeffrey's behavior, nodding her head up and down.

"His attitude is good! Pass!"

"Huh?"

An immediate pass like that.

Honestly, I wanted to pass him just based on his attitude too, but I still wanted to ask at least a few questions.

"Levinas thinks he passes?"

"Yeah! Because Breadie is a good person!"

Breadie?

When did Levinas come up with that nickname?

I stifled a laugh at the funny nickname, remembering we were in the middle of an interview and maintaining a serious expression.

Though I couldn't stop my tail from wagging.

"I see. I'll just ask a few questions before deciding."

Levinas nodded at my words.

This marked the start of a serious interview.

"What do you hope to gain from the beast-kin village, Jeffrey?"

"My goal is to learn their training methods. I've heard each beast-kin tribe has different training techniques. I'd like to see if I can apply their methods to myself."

"I see."

So he wanted to check if he could get stronger using beast-kin training methods.

It was a fitting goal for Jeffrey, who was always searching for ways to become stronger.

"Any other questions?"

"No, that's all the questions."

"Well then..."

"You'll pass if you make one promise, Jeffrey."

"...Promise?"

"Yes. I'd like you to help the beast-kin village. By hunting monsters or training beast-kin warriors. And please be kind."

Was that a reasonable proposal?

What if Jeffrey refused?

Though I worried, fortunately Jeffrey agreed to my proposal.

"That's only natural."

"Wow. Then you pass."

Right from the start, I'd secured an amazing talent like Jeffrey.

He would surely be a great help to the beast-kin village.

"Glad I passed."

"Yes. I'll contact you again later."

"Understood."

Once the interview ended, Jeffrey returned to his relaxed posture.

I decided to relax too and play with the children.

**

After playing in Master's office, Gyeoul and the children went outside the park.

They went out to find people to visit the beast-kin village.

"King, Levinas will find lots of people!"

"Yes, but they need to be kind and good people?"

"Yeah!"

We needed to find people to visit the beast-kin village.

Given this mission, Levinas walked around the park with a somewhat serious expression.

Would it be okay to bring child friends too?

As Levinas pondered seriously, the pool playground came into view.

"Hmm..."

She wanted to play in the pool playground.

But her promise to the king came first.

Just as Levinas was trying to turn away, she spotted a child at the playground.

"Hey, move it."

A boy with a larger build than his peers.

He was using his size to cut in line.

He was practically monopolizing the zipline, one of the playground's most popular attractions.

"...!"

Cutting in line made you a bad child.

She didn't want any bad children in their park.

While Levinas hesitated, the boy started cutting in line again.

"Hey, I said move."

"O-okay..."

Threatened by the large boy, the children at the playground fearfully gave up their turns.

Levinas didn't want to just watch this violent behavior disrupting the park's order.

"Yaaaaaah!"

Levinas charged toward the boy with a battle cry.

The loud shout made all the playground children turn to look at her.

"No cutting in line! Don't cut in line!"

Levinas wagged her raised index finger up and down.

The finger-wagging seemed to annoy him, as the boy's face twisted into a scowl.

"Won't you get lost?"

"But, but cutting isn't allowed... cutting makes you a bad child..."

"If you've got a problem, let's fight."

"Fight?"

What did he mean by fight?

This was a new word for Levinas.

Though she thought that maybe if she did this "fight" thing, the problem would be solved.

"Don't be a coward and call adults, let's settle this between kids."

The boy was young but he knew.

That Levinas was influential in this park.

That she had the protection of incredibly powerful adults.

However, the boy was still too young to understand how the world worked.

To him, anyone who relied on adult help was just a coward.

He didn't understand there were people you shouldn't mess with.

And Levinas's understanding of the world was similarly limited.

"If we fight, will you stop cutting in line?"

"Depends on how it turns out."

"Okay...! Got it...! But wait here just a bit!"

"...Going to be a coward and tell adults? Then I'll just keep bullying kids?"

"No! I won't tell! Levinas just needs to prepare something!"

Levinas didn't know what fighting meant.

So she decided to ask her family.

**

We needed to find people to visit the beast-kin village.

We'd only found two people so far - Min So-yoon and Jeffrey.

How could we find more people quickly?

I put our heads together with the children to think.

"What about advertising?"

"Advertising... maybe posters would work?"

Bom suggested and Saebyeok answered.

Gaeul just stuck her tongue out slightly.

"Hmm..."

Levinas was good at drawing posters.

Where had Levinas gone anyway?

As I looked in the direction she'd left, I spotted Levinas running back in a hurry.

"King! Kiiiing!"

"Levinas?"

"King! Do you fight...?!"

"...?"

Levinas's shocking question made my tail stand straight up.

Even Saebyeok was unusually surprised, while Bom and Gaeul just looked puzzled.

"King, what does fighting mean...?!"

"Ah..."

So that's what she wanted to ask.

Did Bom and Gaeul not know what it meant either?

After briefly meeting Saebyeok's eyes and seeing her nod, I decided to tell Levinas the truth.

Though it was too brutal a meaning to tell Levinas, she needed to know to navigate the world.

"Fighting means trying to hurt each other."

"...!"

At my explanation, Levinas's ears shot straight up.

Her mouth fell open as she stared at the sky with empty eyes.

"Levinas?"

"Levinas was tricked...! Using words Levinas doesn't know like this...!"

"What's wrong?"

"Levinas promised to fight later...!"

"What?"

Suddenly agreeing to fight.

I was too shocked to speak.

Then Levinas started explaining what had happened.

From discovering the boy cutting in line to agreeing to fight him.

She'd been tricked by a word she'd never heard before.

"...Should I teach him a lesson?"

"No, no, it would be really bad if Saebyeok handled it."

I stopped Saebyeok who was raising her fist.

Though the boy was badly behaved, fighting Saebyeok might mean he'd cease to exist.

Saebyeok's flicks were far stronger than a grown man's full-power punch.

"Should I turn him into a frog?"

"Um, using magic on a child would be really bad?"

"Really?"

Bom expressed disappointment.

Truthfully, with magic, our Levinas could probably win without Bom's help.

Levinas's magic had limitless applications after all.

But Levinas didn't like using her magic to hurt people.

"Hmm..."

So all that was left was fistfighting.

As I pondered this, Gaeul approached me.

She handed me the cloth she used for teleportation magic.

"Why the cloth?"

"Like this, like this."

Gaeul pressed firmly on my shoulders.

She seemed to want me to sit down.

Tilting my head in confusion, I sat down, and Gaeul placed Levinas on my shoulders.

"Shuin, stand up."

"Stand up now?"

Ungh.

I stood up with effort.

Levinas, sitting on my neck, grabbed my ears to keep from falling.

"What do we do now?"

"Like this!"

Gaeul draped the cloth over Levinas's shoulders.

I was hidden by the cloth, with only Levinas's face showing outside it.

"Wow, Levinas became a giant."

"So tall."

Was it because my form was hidden?

The children marveled at how Levinas had grown.

Hearing the children's giggles, I understood.

Since he was a big boy.

They wanted to intimidate him by making Levinas even bigger.

But couldn't we use Bom's magic for that?

'...No.'

That would mean relying on magic to solve every problem.

And if I solved everything for them, the children might lose their independence.

Though it was clumsy, I decided to try Gaeul's method this time.

After all, Gaeul was trying to solve the problem her own way without using magic.
