I Just want a Peaceful life

“Sometimes you need to wait for the others before you can grow more.” replied Darren.

“Guess all this new problem is stressing me out.” said Angus.

“Normally, I should say that you are still young and something like that. But an anomaly like you couldn’t be measured by normal standards. You are called Anomaly for a reason.” replied Darren.

While they are talking to each other, they finally arrive at their inn. To their surprise, the dwarf seems to already predict the situation where Mira might suddenly come. Therefore, the whole hotel could be vacated in a short time.

In fact, every customer already signs an agreement to leave the inn if a situation arises when Angus chooses to stay at this particular inn. *ZZZzzzZZ* *ZZZzzzZZ* As they open their room, they notice someone sleeping on their bed carelessly.

‘Why is this person here?’ thought Angus vigilantly.

Seeing the person, Angus immediately takes out his twin sword and is ready to behead the intruder. However, to his surprise, the madman kept sleeping like he didn’t notice them coming through the door.

“Ahhh… That’s the Sparkle Sparkle.” called Anna.

The person on the bed is the monster-minded Stonakin, who just ran away from the previous incident.

Seeing the sleeping monster-minded Stonakin, “Should we apprehend him?” asked Angus uncertainty.

At this moment, he feels he is dealing with another unpredictable Anna. He started to truly regret coming to this place. Not only is it a dangerous place, but it also gives him so many headaches.

“Hohoho… As expected of the rude guy. They are always barbaric as usual.” laughed Darren from the side.

Like hearing the insult, the monster Stonakin suddenly wakes up.

“*Yawn* Oh my… That was a good sleep. Good afternoon, everyone. Wait.. It should be evening. But we are underground. Kind of confusing. Also, why do I feel insulted.” rambling the Stonakin after waking up.

“Sparkle Sparkle!!” called Anna, urging Mini Pork to approach him.

“Anna, stop!!” said Jayna as she caught Anna and prevented her from approaching the Stonakin.

At the same time, Angus put his burning near Stonakin’s neck.

“Why are you here?” asked Angus menacingly.

The Stonakin, who plans to answer playfully, suddenly stops and has a cold sweat after seeing Angus’ murderous look.

‘T-That was something…’ thought the Stonakin for a moment before returning to his maniac grin.

“Oh… come on. Is this how you welcome your friend?” asked the Stonakin.

*Ssszztt* Angus didn’t reply, but the twin sword slowly burned the Stonakin’s rough and hard skin on his neck. However, the Stonakin didn’t react much despite feeling the burning pain. All he did was look back at Angus without fear.

“Why are you here?” asked Angus once again sternly.

“There is something that is bugging me. I need to ask Queenie a crucial question.” said Stonakin while looking at Anna, who is carried by Jayna.

“Question? Is it so important that you risk your life for it?” asked Angus again.

Although Angus looks like in the upper hand, he is actually in a dilemma. The Stonakin didn’t plan to fight back even if he killed him on the spot. This is not just courage or foolish bravery, but also the strong determination Angus saw in his eyes.

‘It is as if he didn’t care about the rest of his life just to ask this question.’ thought Angus inwardly.

“Yes. Of course. It is a very important question. I would be glad to hear the answer from Queenie herself.” said the Stonakin.

Angus looks at Jayna, which gives him a brief nod. At the same time, he also notices Mira, Darren, and Lenora are not moving from their spot, just spectating their interaction. It is as if they know nothing bad will happen.

Taking a deep breath, “Alright, you can ask her. But, If I find you do anything suspicious, death is the last thing you will be worried about.” said Angus menacingly.

“Alright.. Alright… You sound like an old man despite being so young. Did raising Queenie make you age faster or something. That’s certainly…” rambling the Stonakin.

“The Question!!” said Angus in a deep voice.

“Oh yeah… Almost forgot about it. So, Queenie, what is that Mini Porky who could shoot piglets?!!” asked the Stonakin with a serious tone.

“Huh?!!” reacted Angus and Jayna.

“Queenie?” asked Anna while pointing at herself.

“Yes, you are Queenie right?” asked Stonakin again.

“Anna is not Queenie. Anna is Anna. Mini Porky is Anna’s pet and ride.” replied Anna.

“I see…. Alright, you can kill me now. Mr… Who are you again?” asked the Stonakin.𝒐𝗏𝒍xt.𝑪𝒐𝕞

“Forget about it. I feel dumber if I talk to you any longer. As he put down his twin sword artifact.”

“Wait… You can’t blame me. You are already dumb before we are talking.” said the Stonakin.

Hearing this, Angus couldn’t help but have high blood pressure in his head.

“You know what… Anna is one thing. But, for you to insult my intelligence is intolerable.” said Angus while cracking his fist.

*Swish* In an instant, Angus appeared in front of the Stonakin and beat the shit out of him. On the other hand, the Stonakin could only receive Angus’ side beating. After a few minutes of hitting the Stonakin, he finally let the rough-skinned race go with bruises.

The Stonakin not only gets bruised all over his hard skin but also feels pain all over his body. It is as if he is being hit by a hammer a thousand times.

Angus didn’t know if the Stonakin was the same as Anna and had an invincible body. But, he still could hurt him through a precise mana injection.

Since the Stonakin is a high-grade combatant and has better control of his own energy than Anna, his natural resistance is higher than Anna’s. An ordinary imbued mana attack will not work on him. Angus needs to forcefully inject the mana inside the Stonakin body.

It may look simple, but it needs precise mana control. If Angus uses too much mana, the Stonakin body will reject it directly. If he is too small, it will not affect the Stonakin body. Hence, he needs to use the correct amount each time he hits the Stonakin.

“Alright, now get out of here. Before I give you more hell of pain.” said Angus.

“Wait… Can I stay here?” asked Stonakin with a harmless smile.

“Seriously?” asked Angus.

“Urgh… This is why it is painful to speak with someone dum… I mean brain disability. Anyway, you know I am a fugitive, right? If I am going out now, those dwarf and Fate reader old fucker with hunt me down. So, I should stay here to avoid problems, right?” asked Stonakin.

“What makes you think I will let you stay here?” asked Angus, ignoring his early remark.

The Stonakin didn’t say anything, only replied with a happy smile.

After a few seconds of silence, “Eh… you are not serious, right? I thought it was a joke.” replied the Stonakin playfully.

“That’s it. Get out of here before I turn you into minced meat.” shouted Angus in anger.

“Oh, come on… This is too cruel. We have kids here. Please… Mr. Dum.. I mean brain disabled.” replied the Stonakin.

“Angus, can’t the sparkle sparkle stay here?” asked Anna with puppy eyes.

“Anna… He is…” said Angus.

“Wait… I am not Sparkle Sparkle. I am the greatest Stonakin. The hardest creature on earth. The mightiest and the harbinger of death. The absolute defense. The bastion. The shield of Hell. The gate of…” rambling the Stonakin without stopping.

“Stop! That’s enough!! Can you just be serious here? Just say your name. Urghh… This is killing me.” said Angus.

“Ehh… But, I am not done. Whatever… My name is Haidem. But people often call me the invincible monster.” replied the Stonakin.

“Alright, Haidem. Why don’t you just stay with other people like you? I doubt they don’t mind hiding you for a bit.” asked Angus.

“*Sigh* Queen… I mean Anna. It must be hard on you to have this impaired person as your legal guardian.” said the Stonakin.

“Haidem has no idea. There is this one time Angus was so silly. Anna wanted to eat roasted Pork, but Anna gave roasted beef. At first, Anna thought Angus was just being silly. But Angus keeps getting dumber. Anna is hopeless.” replied Anna while shaking her head.

Hearing this, the others beside Angus withhold their laugh so hard from all this funny and comical interaction. In contrast, Angus turns red from the anger at Anna and Haidem.

“Keep calm.. Keep calm… They are not worth it. They are just playing around.” chanted Angus to calm himself.

“Anyway, I can’t stay with them. It’s better if I fight to the death with Seven Grade than stay with them.” said Haidem solemnly.

“Is there any particular reason?” asked Angus.

Haidem didn’t answer and glanced at Anna. However, Anna only tilted her head.

“Unless the Queen.. I mean Anna asked for us. We couldn’t stay together. It is just our nature. It is like forcing someone to poop after having a large poop.” said Haidem.

“How does that example explain anything? Alright, forget I asked about it. Just stay in one of the vacant rooms in this inn. Also, don’t make any more trouble?” said Angus in a defeated tone.

“Yay!! Time to order room service!!” said Haidem, grabbing the nearby menu book.
