41-Episode 40 Princess Play? ‥



'Look, look, there are some incompetent hunters out there.

It's funny, too, because they're all dorks.

'Our leader is a dull old man, and what's so good about this old man?

'It's probably because they can take you on. I don't like being a dumb b*tc* hunter who doesn't make much money.



 This morning, I had a rather tragic accident.
 When I was walking down the road to the dungeon to kill the Skull Hermit Crab to enhance my 'online shopping' life today, I encountered a group of four self-proclaimed top-notch beautiful girls hunters, and they blocked my path and loudly made sarcastic remarks to me.

 I'm used to this kind of thing....Larabell and the others are used to it, so they seem to ignore it....I honestly have mixed feelings about it, even though the ladies are fine.
 I'm sure that most people in this world won't understand what I'm thinking.
 The four of us have the title of top-notch beautiful girl hunters, but I've said before about the appearance of beautiful girls in this world. 
 

 No matter how different the standards of beauty and ugliness are in this world, the physical laws cannot be overturned.
 It is impossible for a fat hunter to move properly in battle.
 Of course, there are no fat people among the hunters, either.
 But unless they were good at magic or had established a fighting style that did not rely on speed, they would naturally be at a disadvantage in a fight against sand beasts, so there were few top-notch people who were fat.

 As for them, then, the male party behind them was the answer.
 In short, they are the ones living as parasites on the top-notch male hunters.

 In this world, the criteria for judging male beauty and ugliness are no different than on Earth.
 They may be strong as hunters, but they are not handsome by any stretch of the imagination.
 They are parasitized by their beautiful women and forced to wear their clogs.

 Honestly, it's not a healthy relationship by any means, but in this world, men and women are equal.
 On the contrary, it is a fact that beautiful and weak male hunters are parasitized by female hunters who are not as good-looking as they could be, and I have witnessed this on several occasions here in Old Town.
 I didn't have anything to say about that fact.

 But when I see these creaturely girls laughing at the Lalabels, who are all beautiful women in my eyes, calling them dorks, I just can't bear to be around them for many reasons.

 ''You guys are uglier than me, aren't you! I wish I had the youthfulness and rudeness to honestly shout, "I'm sorry, but I don't think it's right for a grown man to say that out loud.
 I don't think it's right for a grown man to say that out loud, as a member of society, and in this world, my point of view is one of the minority, and I'm sure there are almost no people who agree with me.
 And more importantly, I hate that I feel like I'm standing in the same field as these women.
 Isn't there anyone who can help me get rid of my bewilderment?

(I hope you ignore it.)

 The girls made fun of Larabell and the others, mistakenly thinking they were weak, but there was a reason for this.
 We've been here in Old Town for two weeks now, since the sand beasts we've defeated would disappear if we belonged to the same party as me.
 It was because I had a reputation of incompetence, not being able to operate as a hunter and having no results.

 In truth, it's not that we are without achievements because all the sand beasts we defeat are converted into Eidolcs, but we couldn't possibly tell others about 'online shopping', and our rating was 'a weak hunter party that still can't defeat sand beasts (the composition personnel are all ugly and the leader is a dull old man)'.

''Wait!''

What can I do for you?

We're so cheeky to ignore the Beauty Squad!

 That's great........
 The name of the party is "Beauty Squad", as it is....it doesn't really look like that to me....
 Also, the naming sense is a bit too self-conscious.

'Why don't you at least say hello? Bow your head firmly in respect to our beautiful people.

'What's the point of being alive if you're a Dobbs and can't take down a single sand beast? You guys.

It's a pity you were born human and didn't take one for granted.

 The female members of the Beauty Gang began to make fun of Larabell and the others with a parade of inexplicably tempestuous swear words.
 The men behind them had expressions on their faces, ''Why are we wasting our time doing this.......''
 It's true, they're stupid women who willingly fight with us who should just ignore them.
 But these women were treated as immensely beautiful women in this world, and there was no reason for them not to go along with that useless event, as they wanted to buy their pleasure.

 If I may be frank, I wouldn't go along with the mounting of these dusky looking women.
 I'm the only one who thinks they look like dobs, so far....
 But still, they must have been so cheesed off in the past.
 It seems that their personalities have been splendidly warped.
 If you ask me, they were the women who had nothing to gain.
 They claimed to be top-notch hunters, but they had no experience in combat.
 But since they are parasitically leveling themselves, their level itself must be quite high.
 Otherwise, he wouldn't be selling useless fights.

''Your level seems high...''

"(Leveling action, right?) That's a common story. (Roughly averages about a hundred and fifty).

 Larabell says it's not unusual.
 He immediately appraised their levels and told me about them.

 In this world, the higher the level, the better the deals in many ways, so it's often the case that a beautiful woman with a materialistic smell who doesn't want to fight herself will suggest a skilled hunter to level up.
 As long as you are in the same party and wait behind them, the parasite will gain experience on its own.
 Ordinary hunters don't like it because the experience gained is divided head to head by the party, but when nobles and rich people give high rewards and ask for leveling requests, there are those who are flattered by beautiful men and women, like the ones behind them, to help with the leveling.
 Scam.............................They would only be used and would have to dissolve the party in the future.
 It is unlikely that these women would date or marry the people they helped to level, because there is no way they would ever date or marry them.
 So, in every world, a beautiful flower has a thorn in its side.

''(The level itself is high, so they must be very confident.)''

 So you've reached a high level in leveling, and you've become good at it.
 That's why he finds hunters he thinks look weak and makes fun of them like this.
 It's a completely unproductive act, but the stupider you are, the more fun this kind of thing must be.

 Why? 
 That's because they're stupid.

Are we done?

 Let them say what they want.
 We have plans for today in the pursuit of our own happiness.
 We don't want to spend our time with you.

Huh! Are you ignoring us?

So, what can I do for you? I don't think that's the case at the moment...

 If you need me, you need to tell me soon.
 Besides.
 I don't want to be wasting my time with a bunch of skanks with bad looks and bad character.

'In short, what do you guys want? I'm not sure what that part is, so please tell me.

'So! You should respect us, beautiful people!

I don't need it.

 These women are not our sovereigns or masters.
 They didn't have to accept such demands.
 Even if they didn't know it, they must be really stupid to bow to the former princess without a reason or they must be really stupid.

''(Not only are they dumb, but they're also dumb.)'

(It's so beautiful, I can manage to live with it.)

 Miu Miu is also surprisingly harsh.
 Indeed, the only advantage they have is that they are beautiful.
 That's also the standard of this world, so they're pretty much all creatures in my opinion.
 In addition, their personalities and brains were at the level of being dumb, or they were lucky not to be born on Earth.

 This is the least you can do in your mind.

'So, what should we do?'

 I asked the male hunters in the back what I should do, because talking to the dumb girls was not going to get me anywhere.
 Somehow they seemed to be trembling at the sight of Lalabelle and the others.

'(Lalabelle, what is this?)

"(They seem to be good hunters. I mean, they can usually tell what we're capable of.)

(They can't scold these girls for picking a fight with a ridiculous opponent, they're cornered on their own.)

 Without special skills, it was impossible to know the level of others, but the better hunters were more sensitive to the presence of awesome hunters.
 So they are aware of Larabell and Mew's strength.
 If these parasitic beauties took the liberty of picking a fight with the hunters who were stronger than them, and also got into a dispute, they would be the ones to take the brunt of the arrows.
 But they are beautiful, and they don't want to be abandoned here and left out in the cold.
 After all, there is no way they can attract a beautiful woman with their looks, no matter how hard they try.
 That being said, whether they and their girlfriends will get together..........would be difficult.
 Still, I want to cling to the possibility that it might happen.
 I think it's the sad nature of men.

''We're on our way to the dungeon now. Will you not interfere with our business?

'Well...'

I'm a hunter...

 The male hunters seemed to understand how unreasonable and pointless they were being.
 They gave them a look that said, 'It's not good to interfere with the work of your peers.
 It was clear that he wanted to keep things quiet.

'Why do you feel the same way? I'm out of the party!

There are plenty of other ways to replace you guys!

'Yes, with our good looks!

 I wonder.
 I'm starting to want to hit these guys as hard as I can with 'goo'.
 That's the worst character I've ever seen!

Hey, I understand it's unreasonable, but...

With the way we look, you may never have to deal with that level of beauty again.

'Well...'

 Male hunters!
 Don't give in to the unreasonable demands of those b*tc*es!
 It's even more annoying to me because it looks like Dobbs to me!
 I'm a good old adult too, so I can't say it out loud!

If it comes to this, we're going to have to make do with today's crop!

The loser gets down on his knees!

This should be equal!

 I don't know what that means anymore.
 Even though we understand in our heads that what we are saying is unreasonable, I don't know that we have to cater to the moods of those characterless Dobbs (beautiful women)....
 Is that how good of a woman she is?
 

'Alright, I get it. That's today's haul. Let's play the odds.

Are you sure? Lalabelle?

We can't afford to have you following us around. You better get this cleaned up, then.

'Yes. Because we're the ones who have to win.

I'll do my best.

 Apparently, it was so unreasonable that Larabell and the others snapped first.
 They accepted a win from the self-proclaimed beautiful hunter party.
