Chapter 199: 15-year-old Inglis and the Evil Hyrule Menace (4-1)
「It was a Hyrule Menace by the name of Tiffany. She had long hair the color of clear water, her eyes were large and bright, and she looked very pretty. She was as pretty as you are, not saying that you aren’t amazingly pretty yourself, though.」
Said the hostess as she looked at Inglis.
「…Thank you very much. Are there any other features of her you can tell me of?」
「She’s bringing a lot of Highlanders with her. They all worshipped her like crazy, every time they opened their mouth, it was always Lady Tiffany this, Lady Tiffany that. To be honest, the sight looked dumb. But those people are really evil, I tell you……They forcefully take our food from us, and anyone who disobeyed them was either killed or taken away! And this Hyrule Menace called Tiffany seemed to really enjoy it unfold. A neighborhood soldier saw an opening and went to attack her directly, but he was instantly shredded into strips……I couldn’t even tell what happened.」
Color faded from the hostess’ face, but she still delivered the much-wanted information.
「They said Hyrule Menaces are supposed to protect us from Magic Stone Beasts, but in a sense, that means they’re much scarier than any Magic Stone Beasts……Some of my neighbors and acquaintances were…」
「I see… They sounded like quite the atrocious bunch……」
That didn’t sound bad. If she could encounter them, then Inglis could expect a very high-quality fight. The Hyrule Menaces that Inglis knew so far were not the kind of people who would resort to violence unprovoked, and they wouldn’t fight without a good reason.
A Hyrule Menace who would attack unprovoked was something Inglis couldn’t wish for more. After all, she didn’t have to go to the length of making up reasons to fight.
