-No One's P.O.V-

After Fran and Teacher managed to defeat the Greater Demon without your help. The three of you returned back the Adventurer's Guild to have a conversation with Klimt as you and Fran lied about the Mana Crystal being destroyed...

That's when a random ugly-looking man appeared and said he knows you and Fran are lying.

Teacher: I didn't even know he was coming until he opened the door. Who is this guy?

(Y/N): (He looks like one of those Mr. Steal Your Girl if you know what I mean.)

Teacher: Yeah, and I know what you're thinking just by looking at this guy's appearance.

Fran: Who're you?

???: What? Yo have no idea who I am? I swear, this is why I don't bother with commoners...Flutter...Flutter...

The ugly man says as he starts throwing rose petals in the air and introduces himself in a noble way.

???: My name is August Allsand, Lieutenant of Alessa Knights Brigade! Mwah~!

August introduces himself with a wink at the end, making himself seem like he's a handsome nobleman.

You, Fran, and Teacher were literally cringing and disgusted at his introduction.

(Y/N): (Jesus Christ...This guy is like one of those typical spoiled kids...)

Teacher: The Knights Brigade...

That's when you remembered Nell's conversation about August Allsand.

Nell: Their Lieutenant Allsand is a nobleman who hates adventurers, and he's the one who turned down our request for aid.

Teacher: He's the guy Nell warned us about!

Fran: Oh, the guy who should piss off and die.

August: Hm~? Did you say something~?

August asked while playfully smacking Fran with his rose.

Fran: *Shakes her head* Nope.

August then drops the rose and stomps on it as he starts to monologue himself.

August: My unique skill Essence of Falsehood allows me to see through any lie!

Teacher: A unique skill?

August: Because of that skill, your lies won't work on me!

Klimt: You're saying they're lying, then?

August: *Points at Fran* When she said the crystal was gone, that was a lie! *Points at (Y/N)* And for the boy, he said that he witnessed this girl destroy the crystal, that was also a lie!

Teacher: Nope, those are not lies at all!

(Y/N) & Fran: *Nods* Mm.

Fran: We're not lying. It's really gone.

August: Oh? You lied again there!

Teacher: Something's not right. Identify!

Teacher then scans August and revealed his stats.

Teacher: Well, well, Level 30. But boy, his stats are low.

Teacher then reveals August's skills.

Teacher: And only Sword Master 1 despite being in the brigade?

(Y/N): (The heck? Has not been training at all?)

Teacher: Sounds like it. Something's fishy, though.

Teacher then reveals more of August's skills.

Teacher: Oh-Ho, the reason I didn't detect anything in his ring. Let's see that unique skill, now. What's the description for Essence of Falsehood, Voice Gal?

System Female Voice: Essence of Falsehood: See through a target's lies. Makes the user's lies more believable.

Teacher: I see...

(Y/N): (So basically, he's using his "lie-detector" skill just to make people believe his own lies, even if the target was telling the truth. This guy is a scum of this planet.)

Teacher: (That's the whole summary of that skill...)

August: Come now, Guild Master. Let the Knights Brigade deal with these liars!

Klimt: I'm afraid I can't allow that.

August: Huh?! This girl brazenly lied to me, a man of noble rank! Surely you don't intend to allow that!

Klimt: You should know, Lieutenant....You are ill-equipped to handle two adventurers of their prowess.

August: Oh?

Klimt: She defeated a Greater Demon all on her lonesome. And for that boy next to her, he once fought Donadrond with his overwhelming strength during their mocking battle with no effort.

August: Huh? Are you serious?

Klimt: Definitely. But that's not all, his immense speed and strength took down the goblins at the entrance of the dungeon which saved the adventurers in only mere seconds.

August looks at you as you only look back at him with a blank expression until August turned back to Fran and back to Klimt.

August: Then the Knights Brigade will have its crystal and all of its raw materials! Give me that, and I will let this slide!

(Y/N): (And now he's getting greedy...)

Klimt: Why should we do that?

August: Ngh...?!

Klimt: The Guild has first rights to its materials, and even if these kids had the crystal, you forfeited any claims to it when you denied our request for assistance.

Klimt says in a stern voice while August was using his handkerchief to wipe off the sweat.

Klimt: You have no right to any of those things you demanded.

Teacher: Nice going, Guild Master!

August: Look, your information on said dungeon was vague at best! We couldn't risk the lives of our brave Knights for such a spurious cause! That's what adventurers are for...Ohoho! The common man is far better suited for such tasks!

(Y/N): (This guy...he's really discriminating the adventurers...)

Teacher: (This situation was only resolved due to the brave actions and sacrifices of our adventurers.)

Klimt: I will not have you slander them any further! I still find it hard to believe that Captain Urs denied our request for assistance. Surely you weren't the one who made that decision, yes?

August: O-Of course not!

Klimt: Would you mind if I asked the Captain about his decision?

August: Are you trying to pick a fight with my father, Count Olmes?!

Klimt: I would prefer not to.

Teaecher: Sounds like both the Knights and the Guild have politics to worry about.

Fran: Hmm...

(Y/N): What's up?

Fran then pulls out something from her back pocket and showed the item to Klimt and August.

Fran: Here, I'll give you these. Can you stop fighting?

August: Oh-ho! Finally feel like letting us have some of those demon materials, then!

August's eyes widened in shock upon seeing what Fran had shown them.

Fran only showed them the Goblin Horns.

August: Goblin-?! What insult is this?! They're disgusting!

August then smacks the Goblin Horns from Fran's hands which made Fran shocked at the sudden action.

(Y/N): Bruh.

August: What are you teaching her?! How dare you insult me like this!

Teacher: Nice joke, Fran.

Fran: (Onii-chan...Teacher...)

Teacher: What?

Fran then lets out a red aura and said telepathically...

Fran: (I hate him. He deserves justice.)

Teacher: (Oh, you weren't joking.)

Fran: (Can I stab him...?)

(Y/N): (Whoa, cool your jets! If you kill him in front of the Guild Master, he's going to report you and you'd be a wanted criminal in Alessa throughout history! I know you and I hate him, but he doesn't deserve death. August just needs to be corrected by someone.)

Fran: ...

Teacher: Oh, I know! We'll take his Essence of Falsehood skill so he won't put anyone into trouble!

(Y/N): (Now that's a good idea.)

Fran: (Yeah. The three of us should do it together.)

August: Huh? What is it, you brats?

Fran raises her right hand while you raised your left hand. That's when three glowing purple claws appeared behind You, Fran, and Teacher as the three of you used the Skill Taker together and took August Allsand's Essence of Falsehoods.

System Female voice: Teacher has stolen a Unique skill: Essence of Falsehood 5. Fran and (Y/N) have stolen a Skill: Noble Etiquette 4.

Teacher: Damn, it was really 100%

(Y/N): (Yeah, but I'm also surprised that I used Skill Taker to get a copy of the same skill from August which is odd....)

You said telepathically in your mind as you turn to Fran and she gives you a nod, indicating to start showing the stolen skill to August.

You agreed back in response as the two of you did a courtesy bow until you said.

(Y/N): "We're over a hundred years old." Can you tell if we're lying?

August: *Picking his nose* What is this, now? What a simple task.

August says as he pulls his nose out, revealing a snot after picking his nose.

Fran: Tell us.

August: It's simple...!

(Y/N): Come on, noble boy. Tell us already!

You said with a mischievous grin on your face.

August: St-Stop it!

August begged as he starts itching his body until he realizes something was wrong.

August: (Wh-What?!)

Fran: You can't tell?

August: I must not be feeling well today! Goodbye! But I'll be back! You haven't seen the last of me!

August says as he starts running until he stops and lets out a fart which made everyone hear that.

(Y/N): Ugh...talk about diarrhea...

You said in disgust as you used your hand as a fan to blow the smell away.

Nell: Pardon me, sir.

Fran: Nell!

Nell: Fran! (Y/N)! Welcome back!

(Y/N): Yup.

...

Klimt: I'm so sorry about that. The Lieutenant bought his way into his lofty rank. Most despise him. His level is high, yes, but as with most nobles, he paid a group of stronger knights to join his party and kill high-rank monsters, allowing him to gain levels without lifting a finger.

This surprises you, Fran, and Teacher upon hearing his backstory.

Teacher: Did a bit of power leveling, huh? Guess some people didn't earn their levels here, huh?

Fran: Mm.

(Y/N): (And now we got ourselves a WingsOfRedemption in this world.)

Teacher: (Sounds like it.)

Fran: (What?)

(Y/N): (Nothing.)

Nell: Sadly, he's still the son of the noble who oversees Alessa, Count Olmes.

Teacher: So that's why the GM couldn't touch him...

Klimt: Fran, (Y/N), today's events may have drawn his attention. Do be careful.

(Y/N): Copy that, sir.

Klimt: That will be all for today. Our guild is greatly indebted to your efforts. Nell, did you bring what I requested?

Nell: Yes, here you are.

Klimt: Right then, Miss Fran, Mister (Y/N). Please head to the reception desk to complete your rank advancement paperwork.

Teacher: Oh!

Fran: Are we going to be in E rank?

Klimt: No. You, Fran, will skip the rank E to go straight to Rank D. The reason why is that you two had defeated a Rank B monster and saved the city from destruction. I had requested for you to advance to Rank C, but the other Guilds didn't approve of such quick advancement in such little time.

Teacher: Make sense. Fran literally just became an adventurer.

Klimt then turns to you and said...

Klimt: And for you (Y/N). You were at rank G so you will be ranked straight to rank E because you were a party member to Fran so you would get some experience points after your battles as an advance.

(Y/N): Eh, I guess it's fine with me.

Nell: And don't forget to claim your reward payment, too.

Klimt: I added a little bonus.

Teacher: For real?!

Fran: That's great!

Fran then does a courtesy bow because Noble Etiquette was activated by her skill.

Fran: You have my thanks.

Klimt: Uh...You're welcome.

Nell: Oh, Fran! You're so cute!

(Y/N): Hehe, cute as always (but savage on the battlefield.)

And just like that Nell leads you and Fran to where the payment was.

-TimeSkip to the Next Day-

After getting the payment rewards, Nell congratulates Fran for getting into the D-Rank and you being into the E-Rank as all of the adventurers in the Guild were celebrating together after the defeat of the Greater Demon.

So right now, You, Fran, and Teacher were heading into the forest to start cooking Curry.

However, Teacher was having a dream about seeing three goddesses and seeing himself as a sword. Teacher reached out for the sword until he hears a familiar voice starts calling out to him...

???: Teacher? Teacher!

It was Fran's voice as the dream ended which made Teacher woke up from his sleep.

Teacher: Huh?

(Y/N): You good, Teach? Did you fall asleep or something?

Teacher: Oh it's nothing. (What was that? A dream? But I don't sleep anymore.)

-Mini Time Skip-

Later, the three of you arrived near a river stream that was filled with fish while Fran was singing excitedly about Curry.

Teacher: (Today, we'll use the spices we bought at Rufus' shop to do some manly camp cooking! By that, I mean cooking up lots of recipes for Fran and (Y/N). Meat doesn't go bad in the Pocket Dimension, so I can whip out hot meals whenever!)

Fran: Alright, you two! Let's get started!

Fran says with determination as she wears a white apron.

(Y/N): (Bruh, that's really cute.)

Teacher: Spices, ingredients, pots, and utensils. Spent 100K gold on all this! But it's well worth it to make a feast for the kids!

Fran: Yes! Yes!

(Y/N): Let the cooking begin!

Teacher: First, we need 30 kilograms each of Rock Bison and Crush Boar meat.

Fran: Meat!

Teacher: Now, Miss Fran, and Mister (Y/N), you two have the Master Cook title!

Fran: Yup!

(Y/N): Uh-huh.

Teacher: Could you knead these together real good?

Fran: You got it!

Both you and Fran start kneading up the meat in separate bowls.

Teacher: Now we'll use Aura Blade to slide up the onion-ish veggie! And then Fry'em up! Kids, do the thing!

(Y/N) & Fran: Let's go!!

Teacher, Fran, and You throw the squished meat and the chopped onions into the air.

Fran: And some panko!

Teacher: With some spices! (Y/N)! Fran! Both of you must beat that meat!

(Y/N): Beat the meat, huh?

You formed a grin on your face as you cracked your knuckles with your left eye glowing red.

(Y/N): Very well! Let's go, Fran!

Fran: Yes!

Both you and Fran then unleash a barrage of punches to the meat that was combined with onions.

(A/N: How (Y/N) and Fran beat the meat:

https://youtu.be/ff__bkqyjVw

Teacher: Please go easy with them!

...

Teacher: Now we cook'em all up!

(Y/N): Hell yeah, boys!!

Fran: Meat!

Teacher: The demi-glace sauce is ready, too! C'mere, hamburger steaks!

Teacher then used the Telekinesis skill as all of the hamburger steaks start flying inside the cooking pot.

Teacher: Get them all sauced up...And you have Teacher's Original Demi-Glace Hamburg Steaks!

Fran: They look so yummy!

(Y/N): Ooh, as expected!

Teacher: And off they go into the Pocket Dimension!

All of the steaks were sent flying into the Pocket Dimension by Teacher's Telekinesis.

Fran: Ahhh!!! Lemme have just one bite!

Teacher: Okay, kids. Ready for the main dish?

Fran: The main dish?

(Y/N): What would that be?

Both you and Fran asked with serious eyes.

Teacher: You two ready for curry time?!

Fran: It's curry time!

Teacher, First, I'll let (Y/N) going to chop up the selected vegetables and roots!

(Y/N): Consecutive Normal Cut Attacks!

Teacher: And as promised, tons of meat! And lots of spices! Blend'em together and see how they smell! I got some milk from some coconut-type nuts to make the flavor a bit more mild!

Next, the three cooking points all started boiling up as you and Fran were watching with excitement.

(Y/N): Ooh, this is gonna be good!

Fran: It smells so good.

Teacher: Gets you hungry, right? That's the power of spices! Our rice is ready, hot, and fluffy! And our curry is complete!

Fran: Th-This is...!

(Y/N): Oh my god...

Teacher: Teacher's Original Mountain Harvest Curry, spice level medium!

Fran: This is curry...!

Teacher: I've got mild, medium, and hot spicy levels here. Each one has different meat, veggies, and spices in 'em.

(Y/N) & Fran: We're digging in!

Both you and Fran start eating Curry together and have a taste of it.

That's when you two have shocked expressions upon tasting Teacher's curry.

(Y/N): Holy moly...!

Fran: IT'S DELICIOUS!!!

Fran then starts munching down the curry at high speed which surprised you upon seeing Fran eating the curry faster.

Teacher: And she ate it all!

(Y/N): Goddamn...!

Fran: Teacher...

Teacher: Hm? Are you happy and full?

Fran then turns to Teacher with a happy delighted face.

Fran: I was born on this planet to eat this bowl of food.

Teacher: It's that good?!

(Y/N): Yeah. I'm surprised you made a curry that is original to this world and made it really tasty compared to my cooking. I'm impressed, Teach.

You said with a proud smile at Teacher.

Teacher: Aww, thanks!

(Y/N): You're welcome, dude.

Teacher: Food is the spice of life. And I'm happy to make it for you, whatever you kids want. I'll put the leftovers into the Pocket Dimension.

Fran: We can have curry whenever!

Fran says with happiness and her arms waving in the air.

(Y/N): Oh Fran~

-Time Skip-

A week after defeating the goblin dungeon, You, Teacher, and Fran took some quests while waiting for Garrus to be done with the armor.

While doing the quests, the three of you had to collect some recipes and ingredients to cook new curry recipes. Next, You and Fran went to try out some of the curry flavors that Teacher made a week ago such as the Mild, Medium, and Hot flavors. Fran was fallen hard for curry which is going to be her favorite of them all.

As Teacher was getting lost in the world of fantasy cuisine, things were happening in Alessa.

Teacher: Boy, we only got seven crystals this past week.

Fran: It was faster in the dungeon...

(Y/N): That's right.

Teacher: Yeah. It'll take us a while to level up at this rate.

Guard: Oh! Well, if it isn't Fran and (Y/N)!

Teacher: The gate guard! He's starting to become a familiar face.

Guard: Hey, kids, do you know Viscount Allsand?

Fran & (Y/N): Discount All Sand? / Discord All Sand?

Teacher: No, no, you two. You know, the nobleman in the Guild Master's office?

Fran: Oh, Lieutenant Weakling.

(Y/N): No, it's gotta be Lieutenant Disappointment.

Fran chuckled at your dry joke.

Guard: Watch it!

Teacher: Sorry.

Guard: For some reason, your Lieutenant Weakling's looking for you two.

(Y/N): Huh? Why is that?

Guard: Rumor says he angered someone in the royal family, and his father Olmes, furious about his blunder, really let him have it...I don't know what that has to do with you two, but that guy's all kinds of bad news. Who knows what he'll do? Be on your guard, yeah?

Fran: Okay, we will. Thanks.

And just like that, You, Fran, and Teacher walked off to where Allsand was, but unknown to the three of you, someone was watching from the rooftops.

Teacher: Pissed off someone in the royal family? Might've been due to our Skill Taker.

Fran: Oh.

Teacher: Welp, he brought it on himself, so not like it's our fault.

(Y/N): Based answer.

That's when Teacher senses someone's presence.

Teacher: Kids. Don't look behind you two, but someone's following us.

Fran: Mm.

Teacher: It'd be easy to give them the slip, but I don't want to keep an eye out forever...Let's lead them a little.

(Y/N): Copy that.

You and Fran start heading off in a different direction so the two of you can let the Stalker follow you two.

Teacher: There are two of them.

Fran: Yeah.

Upon climbing up the stairs and reaching the top, you then spoke up to the Stalker.

(Y/N): Do you require help from us?

???: Ngh....You little brats!

You and Fran turned around to see an ugly man coming towards you two like a zombie.

???: That day in that office, you two cursed me! Filthy brats!

Fran: An undead?!

(Y/N): How can an undead talk?

Teacher: Keep your distance you two! Identify!

Teacher starts scanning the "undead" monster, but...

Teacher: Nope, just Lieutenant Disappointment. Still a normal human.

August: You...you...you...! Thanks to you two, my life is over! You're going to pay for this!

Fran & (Y/N): Who are you again?

Teacher: Huh? Don't you two remember?

(Y/N): (I didn't forget. I was playing dumb.)

Teacher: (Oh, right.)

August: What?! Did you two forget about me?

Fran: We've never met.

August: Wait, really? Guess I have the wrong people! Wait! Don't you lie to me! I'm talking to the right people in front of me!

Fran: But we don't remember you at all.

August: Really?

Fran: Mm-hmm. Really.

(Y/N): Fran, wait. I think we know this guy.

Fran: What's his name, then?

(Y/N): It's uh...what was it again?

You then start "thinking" until you "remembered" the ugly man's name.

(Y/N): Ah! I think it was September Allwater!

You said August's name incorrectly on purpose.

Fran: Pfft...!

Teacher: Hehehe, goddamn it, (Y/N)...

August: No! That's not my name! My name is August Allsand! You two did something to me, and now the nobility have it out for me! You two are finished!

Fran: This guy...

August: Oh? You two dare look at me like that?! Commoners like you two? A lowly Black Cat? A lowly Adventurer?

(Y/N): Don't care, Didn't ask, Stay Mald, Take the "L" as a loss, Ratio, Stay Mad, Skill Issue, You Fell Off, Cope, Cancelled, Twitter User, Go touch Grass, plus you're an ugly man-child.

August: Huh?!?! Were those insults at me or something?! Come, Gyuran!

August calls out to the person named "Gyuran". you, Fran, and Teacher looked up at the cone rooftop and see someone until they jumped down to reveal themselves.

???: A little Black Cat? I'll handle her. Our kind is used to dealing with her kind.

Hearing that confuses you, but Fran had a horrified expression on her face as the beastman continues speaking up.

???: Do I beat you up and sell you to a slaver, or slice you to pieces and feed you to the wild dogs? Maybe I'll flay you alive and leave you to die in a cesspit.

August: Ooh, that'd be fitting!

(Y/N): Hey, what is the meaning of this?

You asked in a confused tone until Fran spoke up.

Fran: A Blue Cat...

Teacher: A Blue Cat? What's wrong, Fran?

Fran: The Blue Cats are the mortal enemies of the Black Cats!

Fran says in anger which surprised you upon hearing the information about the different races up against one another.

-Somewhere...-

Outside the City of Alessa, we see a mysterious female with pointed ears and long black hair with a hair bang that covers her right eye.

It was an elf woman who was heading to a certain destination, but three flying creatures came down towards her, but the elf woman pulled out a whip and killed the three flying enemies easily.

...

(A/N: That's that stay tuned for Episode 7!)
