Comprehensive Manga: Hope in Another World

Chapter 70: Level 5, That’s All?



The Labyrinth City of Orario.

A circular city with a vast territory, surrounded by sturdy city walls. It's evident from the repair traces that its design didn't consider fighting enemies from outside, proving that contrary to the original purpose of the barrier, this barrier was used to contain monsters emerging from within. The massive stone walls, giving off an old and quiet impression, still retain the shadow of an underground fortress from ancient times.

Buildings of various sizes line up inside the city walls, isolated from the outside world, and in the center of the city stands a giant white-walled tower reaching for the sky. This is the skyscraper facility of the Tower of Babel, built as a cover to block the entrance to the Dungeon, a large hole in the ground.

With the Tower of Babel or the Dungeon as its center, Orario continues to grow to this day.

Twilight is about to arrive, and the streets are filled with adventurers returning from the labyrinth. Laughter from the hotels celebrating their survival echoes throughout the streets. Many humans and Demi-Humans are drinking and chatting, and some gods filled with joy barge in with a beer mug in one hand. Setting aside racial barriers and respect, the laughter echoing among them is a microcosm of this city – this world.

Streetlights begin to light up one by one, and the light of magic stone lamps gradually illuminates this noisy city.

There are merchants pulling goods and driving carriages, warriors carrying giant swords, farmers holding hoes, robed wizards, all sorts of people holding weapons.

Someone with ears and a tail like an animal, with some animal characteristics. Their height is only half of the average adult, but they look about thirty or forty years old. There are also people who resemble humans, but have explosive muscles and bold clothes that make people feel embarrassed.

Then, on both sides of the street, shouts like this can be heard from one stall to another.

"Elf brother over there! Come and see!"

"There are weapons suitable for Demi-Humans here!"

"Clothes with a size that fits even Pallum! Come in and see!"

"Amazoness lady! Why don't you come and see the fruits here?"

Elf, Demi-Human, Pallum, Dwarf, Amazoness... The existence of various races can be seen here.

They are calm or noisy, but their faces are all the same.

It's desire!

As many people from all over the world and all over the continent flock to this big city, they are eager to adventure.

Shun looked at the various races and strange buildings with an otherworldly style. Seeing these adventurers, he suddenly smiled.

"That's a very good time. But I'd better fill my stomach first."

Shun arrived at an inconvenient time. It was already dark, and the Guild wasn't working.

Now his top priority is to find a place to stay and eat, preferably a restaurant that can make delicious food from another world.

And without a doubt, one of the most fulfilling his needs is...

Hostess of Fertility!

This pub has always been very famous. Inside the pub, there are seats and seats made of wooden tables and chairs, with various kinds of people sitting on them.

Pallum, Amazoness, various Demi-Humans, Dwarf... all kinds of adventurers and Familia gather here.

People from various races seem to live harmoniously at this time. Everyone shares seats while eating and drinking.

Beside these guests, young girls in their prime carry trays filled with drinks and wine, or carry plates.

These waitresses all wear leaf-colored tank tops that reach below their knees, with longer aprons tied outside their skirts, which seems to be the uniform of the employees at this pub.

The manager is a burly aunt, the former leader of Freya Familia, Mia Grand, and a Level 6 adventurer.

The assistant named Ryuu Lion has reached Level 4. Although her status hasn't been updated since then, her strength and skills are said to be at the peak of Level 4.

"Please give me today's recommended set meal!"

Shun wearing modern clothes and looking handsome, is very eye-catching, but he doesn't seem to realize it. He finds his own seat and greets the waitress loudly.

"Okay, would you like a drink?"

A girl from the Cat-People tribe, with short black hair, cat ears, and a long cat tail, comes closer.

Shun remembers her name is Chloe Rollo, and she was once a Level 4.

"Any recommendations?"

"The wine in our pub is quite good, you can order a large glass to try it."

As Chloe spoke, she looked at him. Facing this handsome fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, she couldn't help but look at his butt a few more times.

"Then let's arrange it like this."

After a while, a large set meal with a different world style is served. After seeing the large glass of wine, Shun has a question mark on his face.

The style of the set meal is truly wild.

However, as he took the first bite, his eyes lit up.

"This is so delicious!"

This unknown monster meat from another world is quite extraordinary. It tastes better than many expensive beef in the Main World. Coupled with the cooking style, his appetite was immediately aroused.

"Boss, two more!"

Shun decided to eat extra food, he practiced Sun Breathing and can easily digest the food he consumes.

The happy chef is concentrating on cooking.

❀❀❀

On the other hand, a group of Familia members enter quite merrily.

The adventurers along the way exit the street with awe, and they enjoy the treatment they deserve.

The reason is simple, they are Loki Familia, one of the strongest Familia in Orario.

Seeing Loki Familia coming to the pub, the expressions of the adventurer guests change as usual and they start whispering, but Tiona and the others don't take it seriously and take their seats.

Aiz also felt many eyes staring at her face, but she didn't react and ignored it.

She's been used to other people's curious gazes for a long time.

Although she cared about it, Tiona and the others urged her, so she stopped chasing it and sat in the chair.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard! Today's feast! Drink!"

Loki stood up and led the toast, then everyone clinked their beer mugs. The atmosphere among the group members gradually became warmer, and Aiz also slightly raised her glass to toast with Tiona and the others.

The waitress led Aiz and the others to seats located in the corner. There are outdoor seats next to the window, and guests can freely open the door and come in and out. The food and wine served are all delicious, and the group members naturally move their hands faster. Especially the refreshing fruit wine and the extraordinary herb-roasted chicken.

"Captain, I'll pour wine for you. Please use it."

"Mm, thank you, Thione. But you just got me drunk at an unusual speed. After you get me drunk, what do you want to do to me?"

"Haha, I don't mean anything else. Come on, drink again."

"This girl is always the same..."

"Gareth, you're competing with me to drink!"

"Hmph, okay, let you know how strong I am."

"Hiccup. Ah, then I'll join in too."

"Captain!"

Beside her friends who are making a fuss, Aiz maintains her pace and eats, but she knows she will be affected. Maybe they are too drunk to lose control. Junior members who are usually polite seem to hope that she will be happy too.

"Don't drink wine, Aiz."

"...Eh, doesn't Aiz-san know how to drink?"

Fortunately, Riveria came to the rescue, but Lefiya was sitting to Bete's left, next to her.

As Aiz didn't know how to explain it, Tiona, who was on the right side, kept putting food in her mouth.

"Letting Aiz drink will be troublesome, right?"

"Hah, what do you mean?"

"Should I say she doesn't know how to drink, or say she's drunk and crazy... Loki was almost killed by her once."

"Tiona, please... stop talking."

"Ahaha! Aiz's face is so red!"

Aiz lowered her head with red cheeks and was approached by Tiona from the side. Lefiya's panic and Tiona's laughter made Aiz raise her red face and show a smile.

Both inside and outside the pub, everyone's voices became more cheerful. Wine and food were swept away in the blink of an eye, and the waitresses became more agile in their movements.

The guests around also kept laughing, and everyone was having a good time.

Just when everyone was enthusiastically chatting about the expedition with Loki as the center.

Sitting diagonally in front of Aiz, Bete, who looked slightly drunk, stood up and was about to take wine when he stumbled and knocked over Shun's table corner. The set meal and wine glass that were originally stacked fell to the ground with a crash.

Shun raised his head with an unfriendly look in his eyes. He was eating happily, but why did his rice bowl fall?

Especially when he looked closer, he saw that it was the annoying white-haired man in his original work, and Shun frowned even more.

Whether it's Bete in front of him, Accelerator from the Toary series, or the villains in other worlds whose tragic pasts can be erased, Shun has always hated them.

"Hey, what are you looking like?"

Before Shun could say anything, Bete, who happened to be looking at him, saw the look in his eyes and suddenly felt dissatisfied.

"Isn't it just some dishes? That's enough!"

Of course, he knows that what he just did was wrong, but he is the kind of person who looks down on the weak and speaks rudely, somewhat like a former person.

Otherwise, in his original work, the conflict with Familia members wouldn't escalate to the point where almost everyone in the Familia would hate him.

Shun looked at him with calm eyes, recalling the classic quote of Bete mocking Bell in the same tavern in the original novel.

"I never really liked people who have a distorted personality and act recklessly just because they have a sad past."

As Shun spoke, he didn't make a sound as loud as Bete, but his words sounded very clear in everyone's ears.

"I will never tolerate people who speak rudely, let alone those who have no common sense."

In an instant, a kind of silence that no one could explain suddenly filled the pub.

The originally lively pub became like a concert hall before the performance.

A pair of eyes focused on the two people who were in conflict.

Bete's drunken eyes suddenly became sharp and fierce, like a wolf in battle.

Seeing this, Shun smiled happily: "It seems like you also want to fight, and I also want to try my martial arts compared to Level 5."

After that, five 'door opening' sounds appeared in succession, and when everyone saw the light green gas emerging from Shun's body, he disappeared!

The hearts of all Level 4 and Level 5 in the pub were tense. That silent terror was like countless steel needles piercing their backs, making people feel cold in their hearts.

Soon, the audience saw a green light. At that time, neither the strong wind nor the sonic boom that pierced the wind and resistance could follow its trail.

The sound of the floor tiles cracking in the hall was endless, spreading from the two people to the door like spiderweb cracks.

It was visible to the naked eye, the pupils of Loki Familia, Bete Level 5 with the alias Vanargand, were trembling. His eyes contracted rapidly, and the next moment a very frightening feeling arose in his heart.

"It's too late to understand it now..."

As the sound spread, Shun appeared in front of Bete, and his palm pressed against Bete's face, like five evil dragons clinging to him, unable to resist and holding his head tightly.

*BAM*

Bete was pushed to the ground with a loud sound, forming a large spiderweb-like hole.

Shun slowly stood up. His slender figure blocked the light and turned into a large shadow. He looked at the Level 5 in front of him with indifferent eyes:

"That's all?"
