Rudeus refused to believe it. He deliberately went out that day, even fixing his hair in the mirror before leaving, humming a tune with an arrogant look that said, "What can you do to me, Hitogami?"
But he regretted it the moment he stepped outside, because...
"Holy shit!"
"Who the hell took a dump outside the inn?!"
The moment Rudeus stepped over the inn's threshold, his right foot landed in a fresh, steaming serving of Lao Ba's secret-recipe cuisine.
The sensation was warm, the texture soft and dense.
The smell...
"Urgh-"
Rudeus's face instantly turned green. He stiffly lowered his head and stared at the indescribable brown substance on the sole of his right boot. He could even make out a few incompletely digested... grains?
"Was I really not supposed to go out?"
"No, no, maybe stepping in shit means I'm in for some dumb luck?"
Rudeus shook his head, armed himself with self-deluding optimism, and cast aside the thought that he was unlucky.
He, Rudeus, was someone on the level of a "child of the world." How could he possibly be unlucky?
It had to be a coincidence!
Right! It was all the Demon Eye of Foresight's fault! This happened because it hadn't shown him stepping in dog shit!
If the Demon Eye of Foresight had warned him ahead of time, how could he possibly have stepped in it?
Stupid, useless Demon Eye of Foresight!
Demon Eye of Foresight: ? Oh, aren't you above it all!
Sticking to his principle of never taking the pressure himself, Rudeus dumped the blame straight onto the Demon Eye of Foresight.
Rudeus planned to check out the Adventurers' Guild today. Only now had he discovered what the people in Wenne Port's Adventurers' Guild were like.
