A New Life In Another World

Chapter 20: The Corrupted And Ethical

It was the next day, so I got up and got breakfast.

Usually, I would get up and just head to school, but since I'm in another world, my daily routine was different. At least I didn't have to deal with Roy and his little lackeys.

Dealing with those bastards was already becoming a pain. With them gone, I don't have to worry about my next beating.

Alright, that's enough of those thoughts now. Time to get some food.

I told Raven to wake up Amy while I went downstairs to get some food for us. While I was waiting for the breakfast, I felt like someone was watching me.

Five somebodies, actually.

I looked around to find the people looking at me and noticed five figures in familiar armor like Thomas's. But, unlike Thomas, they were a lot younger.

In fact, it seems that they were around my age.

One of the guys had short blonde hair, wearing leather armor and was holding a very cool looking spear.

Another one of the guys had half-way long brown hair, another set of leather armor and was holding a hatchet.

The last guy had snow white hair, again wearing a set of leather armor, and had a bow and arrow.

One of the girls had short green hair, wearing a Magicians robe and had a cool looking Staff.

The other girl had long purple hair in a ponytail, she wore a noble uniform with leather pads and had a sword. I wasn't able to get a good look at the sword but it still looked cool from where I'm standing.

Were they adventurers? From what they're wearing, I can't think of anything else.

The five figures noticed that I saw them and walked over to me. Something tells me that this was going to be a big pain in my ass.

"Excuse me, but can we have a word with you?" The blond haired kid spoke.

Judging from how he's speaking and acting in front of the others, he seems to be the leader. He also gave off that leader-like aura.

This was already getting annoying.

"What do you want?" I glared at them.

The four adventurers were a little startled from my response, but blondie here kept talking.

"There's been word around the town that says you took down The Rogue Wolves. We were wondering if that was true."

The Rogue Wolves? Wait, wasn't it that group with Thomas?

I remember that one of his titles said [Leader of The Rogue Wolves]. What the hell do these guys want with Thomas?

"Sorry, you got the wrong guy," I lied.

For now, I should play it safe. Talking to these people is dangerous.

They'll likely get me mixed up in their crap that I don't want to be a part of. I need to make sure that I stay out of this.

"Hmph! I highly doubt that" The purple haired girl scoffed. "There have also been rumors that the same man who defeated the Rogue Wolves was also wearing a cloak, and looking around this inn, you're the only guy wearing one."

Figures this damn cloak would be my downfall. I expected this, yet I did nothing.

Mentally kicking myself, I tried to play it off.

"You really got the wrong guy here. I don't know anything about this Rogue Wolves, so please leave."

"Liar." The green-haired girl muttered.
