Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 646 Wasting Food is Bad

However, before then, they could only watch in frustration.

At that moment, Ophis suddenly stood up from her seat and Claire guessed what was going to happen so she started preparing herself too.

"H-hey! Missy! Where are you going!?" The man with the mustache tried to stop her, but he was already too late as he\'d only noticed that Ophis had left her seat when she had already arrived at the side of the bulky Adventurer.

Ignoring the cries of the stall keepers, Ophis tugged on the shirt of the Adventurer, attracting his attention, "Haah!?"

Of course, Ophis wasn\'t scared of his threatening face or voice, "...Why did you waste food?" She asked him with a deadpan expression on her face while staring straight into his eyes.

"Get off, you damned brat!" The Adventurer replied with an even more threatening face.

But Ophis didn\'t flinch and said, "...You shouldn\'t waste food."

The Adventurer, however, lost his patience and turned back to the crying blonde woman and intended to get ahold of her merchandise before leaving. But as he did, he swiped his hand towards Ophis with considerable force that would have sent any normal person flying away.

Yet the moment his hand made contact with Ophis\' cheek, the bones in his hand made an audible crack, sending signals of extreme pain throughout the Adventurer\'s nerves and making him scream while hurriedly taking back his hand, "AHHH!!!" It felt like he\'d hit a block of iron.

Without minding the bulky Adventurer, Ophis raised her free hand and made a grabbing gesture. Suddenly the wooden cup that the Adventurer had thrown made its way towards her hand and its contents soon followed, but it was obviously already contaminated with grime and dirt.

Ophis suddenly pulled him down with the hand that was grabbing the Adventurer\'s shirt, forcing him to kneel down in front of her before repeating her words, "...You shouldn\'t waste food."

With considerable force, Ophis pummeled the cup straight through the man\'s mouth, destroying his teeth on the way and placing it securely inside. At this point, the man had already lost his consciousness from the amount of trauma his head had just received, and with a bloodied and devastated mouth, Ophis released him while being satisfied.

At that moment, Ophis suddenly recalled Aika\'s words, \'If you don\'t like someone and it\'s a man, then just kick him in his groin.\'

With that in mind, Ophis looked at the downed Adventurer and did a mental checklist. He was a man and she didn\'t like him, "...Humu." Since he was meeting the criteria, Ophis walked towards the man\'s groin and gave it a kick without thinking. Even with as much as she held back, the man still flew away for several tens of meters before hitting a stack of boxes. Now the unconscious man was frothing blood.

Letting out a puff of air, Ophis didn\'t know what to do next after \'properly\' feeding the man the food which he wasted beforehand. In fact, it was just her usual spontaneous actions without thinking of the consequences.

Even then, she still remembered Kisuke\'s words of her not being allowed to use her powers unless the situation was at the Heavenly Dragon level, but they came with exceptions, of course. Ophis was still allowed to use her physical strength, albeit, while holding back, if she didn\'t like something.

Kisuke thought of setting the condition of \'when there\'s a threat but he didn\'t trust Ophis\' sense of crisis and just decided to go with the things she didn\'t like. At least, it wasn\'t easy for her to dislike something.

In addition to those, Kisuke also told her about what would appear strange to others, like her not taking any damage after any weapons hit her and that she should avoid those at all costs to remain \'normal\'

So when she felt the incoming knives to her side, Ophis caught an arm in each of her hands. But since she was still not well versed in the art of \'holding back\', the moment she gripped them, she instantly squeezed their muscles and broke the bones of her assailants.

The two other companions of the now unconscious Adventurer tried to assault Ophis secretly after shuddering from her threat and were now squirming and shrieking in pain as they tried to peel off Ophis\' monstrous grip, "AHHHHHH!!!!"

While thinking about what to do next, a ball of fire suddenly flew over and hit Ophis squarely in the face, "Yes!" The last member of their group cheered when he saw that. But immediately after, his face contorted and he yelled in fear, "H-how!?"

The fire went out and Ophis was still in her thinking expression, unfazed. Since it was not a \'weapon\', it flew under Ophis\' radar and she didn\'t block it. If there was someone to blame, it would be Kisuke who didn\'t make it clear. "W-what are you!?", yelled the panicking mage.

Ophis didn\'t pay him any attention and continued on her contemplation while the owners of the arms she grabbed were already pale blue from the pain.

Since he had to help his comrades getting away from this demonic little girl and she apparently wasn\'t giving him any time of the day, the mage decided to keep casting the only magic he knew, Fire Shot, an \'instant\' cast magic that didn\'t have much firepower.

Every two seconds, a small ball of fire would fly out towards Ophis, but no matter how many times he casted his spell, it seemed that the little girl failed to notice its existence. This led him to falling into panic and made his concentration slip off. As a result, one of his fireballs flew past Ophis and towards the hurt blonde woman.

"Jenna!!!", shouted the man with a mustache.

The blonde woman, Jenna, saw the fireball and screamed in fright while closing her eyes and covering her head. But before the spell hit her, it miraculously fizzled out of existence. "W-what? What happened?", asked the caster with great confusion.

From afar, Claire\'s grey eyes were shining ever so slightly, but no one was able to take note of this. "Phis-chan! Just throw them towards him!", suggested Claire suddenly as she pointed towards the mage who was materializing his next magic.

Without any hesitation and with a force that almost ripped the Adventurers\' arms off, Ophis threw them towards the casting mage like Claire had said to. As their bodies whipped through the air violently, the clash of flesh ended up pushing them away for several tens of meters, crashing into various debris and items on the way.

All of those who were watching had their mouths wide open in shock and a conservative estimate of the condition of the unsavory Adventurer was at the very least numerous broken bones. At worst, they may not be able to move for the rest of their life.

Although still not so sure of what she should do next, Ophis decided to return to her seat and continue to wait for the \'lost\' Goddesses as if nothing had happened.

Everyone in the vicinity could only watch in silence as the little girl walked back quietly when a blue-haired Goddess suddenly snatched her off her feet and carried her away. On second glance, it was Artemis and beside her was Hestia, who was surprisingly already carrying Claire on her back.

After an unknown amount of time, the first one to get hold of himself was the mustached man, Joseph, as he immediately ran towards Jenna, "Hey! Jenna! Are you okay!?"

Jenna also woke up from shock and answered hurriedly, "Y-yes! It still hurts, but I\'m already fine!... But what was that?"

Joseph became quiet.

Soon after, the other stall keepers also started approaching them. Since their customers and the other Adventurers already fled long ago, it was only them right here, "J-Joseph! What should we do? And to those guys!"

Joseph closed his eyes in contemplation and recalled the distressed expressions of the Goddesses who picked them up and remembered the little girls\' interactions with everyone in the free market.

He then opened his eyes and smiled widely, "The little missies had already left long ago and it was some random strong Adventurer who had done these idiots in!"

Everyone was shocked at his statement but soon after, they all looked at each other and a smile crept up their faces, "Ah, right! I was so shocked that an Adventurer of his caliber would suddenly show up and beat these lowlifes half to death.", said one of them.

"But we couldn\'t identify him because of the hood he was wearing, but it looked like he was packing some muscles under his clothing.", added another one.

Soon enough, the story about a mysterious strong Adventurer was brought to life and started spreading among the stall keepers.

Not long after, Guild officials arrived along with some people from the Ganesha Familia and they immediately saw the gruesome scene, "Someone please explain what happened!"
