Kopii was completely bewildered. It seemed to him that they knew each other quite well, but now he didn't even know who she was. Maybe it was just a joke, but what was the point? Maybe the Sword Princess was right. Maybe Raven was only in my head, like Kane is now. No, it can't be, because people interacted with him, and I could interact with him like everyone else. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
"Here's your order."
A bowl of noodles pulled Kopii out of his thoughts.
"Thanks."
Casting a last glance at the departing Sir.
"What a bad outfit, too closed up."
"Shut up, you're distracting me."
"What, no way… you can think!!! Kopii, I'll give you advice, as the best version of yourself: don't overestimate yourself, thinking is not for you."
"…why don't you understand the Raven thing? Doesn't all of this seem strange to you? This whole situation."
"No, I don't give a damn about you, or the dead guy, or maybe even a friend forgotten by everyone. Why should I care?"
"Well, what else could I expect from you."
He said disappointedly, starting to eat.
"What to expect? That I'm telling the truth. Kopii, get it, you're making a mountain out of a molehill, and you always do, with any problem. You need to learn from me, and then everything will be fine."
"I'm not making a mountain…"
"Yes, Kopii, you do it constantly. Look, for example, the Sword Princess. You should be glowing with joy that such a girl has become attached to you, from ordinary words for us, but not for her. In short, you should just relax and calm down. You did everything you could: you told the truth, and she didn't believe you, it's not your fault. Got it… or is that too smart for you?"
Kopii was silent. No matter how hard he tried not to listen to Kane, he was actually right at times, and Kopii understood that. But he still stuck to his principles: it's better to overestimate his problems than to underestimate them and then regret it for the rest of his life, he didn't want that.
All the next time while he was eating, Kane didn't speak anymore. After paying and leaving "The Hostess of Fertility," he headed home.
Bang.
Before he could react, someone ran into him, but he managed to stay on his feet. Before he could say anything, she apologized and ran away. "Oh well," Kopii thought, not dwelling on it.
He decided to treat himself, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't find anything.
"Where's my money!!!"
Starting to turn around, looking back at his path, to see if he dropped them. Which was useless. But seeing the crowd, he immediately realized that if his money had fallen out, it was definitely gone.
"Ahh haha haha."
"Shut up."
He whispered barely and sadly headed home, and Kane was laughing at him all the way because of this situation.
"Just shut up already, it happens to everyone, there are setbacks."
"Only with you can this happen, with such a loser. Hahaha"
"Okay, I get it."
Kopii just decided to switch it, because there was no point fighting against Kane, because he was only in his head.
Time Skip.
He was going home again, and again someone bumped into him. Then again the next day. And every time he heard the same voice apologizing.
"Next time, I won't let myself be robbed so easily," Kopii thought, listening to Kane, who was bursting with laughter.
"Oh, I can't, hahaha. Three times in a row, like a sucker. Haha."
"Just shut up already, I won't let her do that to me anymore."
"Today we got up from the dungeons early and we forgot to visit Naaza again."
"Do you think you can change the subject?"
Seeing how his plan was ruined and with sadness that he would be with him again which I started going down to the basement all day.
"Aaaa aaaa aaaa."
Kopii screamed seeing a sharp face in front of him in the dark. Unconsciously, he attacked him but it skillfully dodged and was able to put him on the cold floor in a second.
He began to resist more strongly, but it was useless, but when a familiar smell hit his nose, he stopped his resistance and relaxed, felt it, she bit him, getting up and shaking off with a searching glance at him.
"Hi."
"Hahahaha, look, he said it, as if he wasn't screaming like a little girl a few seconds ago."
"Hi."
"Why did you come now?"
Kopii asked this question out of politeness, of course he knew why she had come.
"You know."
And again the day passed, nothing new, the Sword Princess left without hearing an answer, but said she would return.
"Do you think we will find out who the girl is, what if she is not to blame?"
"… What do you mean not to blame? Are you really stupid? She bumped into you three times, and those three times you lost money. What a coincidence."
"Okay, it will be dark soon, so we won't have to wait long. Here she is finally."
Kopii whispered, jumping on her and grabbing her hand. Now he looked more closely at the girl, it was quite a small body with chestnut hair and eyes.
Bang.
"Ai."
"Hahahahahahahaha how is this possible."
Kopii underestimated her because he was sure that her peak was the first level, lack of money and served as motivation for theft, if she were higher, she would not be engaged in such things. If she even attacked him, then he would win without any problems, because of this he relaxed. Which served the present situation.
A blow below the belt, how low. Kopii thought, falling to his knees in tremendous pain. I lost again. Become Sydney, but I lose.
But Kopii quickly coped with the consequences of the blow.
"Shut up."
Unable to withstand Kane's laughter, he screamed in the hope that he would shut up, but his hope crumbled when his laughter only intensified. And with funny feelings he went home.
Kopii just didn't know what to do, he was just lying on the bed, and the Sword Princess was eating what I cooked.
"Alright."
Kopii exclaimed, getting up and heading towards the exit.
"Where are you going?"
"Update characteristics."
With these words, I leave the Sword Princess, who glared at him with an interested look, but said nothing more and continued to devour it.
Quickly running to the blue pharmacy.
"Did not expect, but I'm back."
Flying into the blue pharmacy, Kopii shouted. But seeing the buyers who were giving him strange glances. But he did not care about these glances.
"Hello Naaza how are you."
"Normal."
"Well okay that's good too. Well, I arrived to Miyahu sama, he is here now."
"No. But he will be back soon."
"Yes. Well then I'll wait."
Kopii rejoiced, he was going to have a day off today, so he had nowhere to rush.
"And went to the store or for a walk."
If Miyahu goes somewhere for a short time, it is either for a walk or to the store, and if he goes to his friends, then he may disappear for a whole day.
"He is in Denatus."
"Ah yes… what is that?"
"…"
"…"
"This is a gathering of gods, which is held every three months. Issues are resolved there, and nicknames are given to adventurers who recently rose the level."
"Ah I see…"
She sighed looking at Kopii's smiling face, she did not understand if he understood or what he would soon receive a nickname. But the more she looked at him, the more she realized that he did not understand something. But she didn't have time to say anything when his face lit up with understanding.
"Nickname! I will be given a nickname. Hah"
Kopii rejoiced, he had always dreamed of his nickname in his childhood, and now it had happened. Now some kind of name will be given, he only took two nicknames, this is the Sword Princess and the King of Mercenaries, the only nicknames that remained in his head.
Seeing Kopii's joy, she guessed what he was thinking about now, she didn't want to upset him and just decided to be silent.
