"Miss llisa, please calm down. I know you are getting emotional, but it is not going to help you."
Soone placed a hand on llisa’s shoulder and pulled her back. That snapped llisa out of it and she coughed to show that she had cald down.
"You are right. I need to take things easy. Getting angry won’t help find Kora."
llisa slowly cald down before she took her seat again. Her eyes found Rin again but instead of asking a question, she decided to give an order.
"You! Make the people of your settlent look for Kora. I want her found at all costs."
llisa demanded but Rin did not move to do as she had asked. He had no intention of entertaining her orders. The people of his settlent were busy enough without this additional workload piled on top.
His silence startled llisa and she imdiately tried to increase the pressure on him.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and give the order. Hey, do you not hear ?"
llisa asked, getting more and more annoyed by the second. Finally, she got fed up and decided to walk toward him and grab his hair. He was ready for the pain, but the door burst open before llisa could touch him.
"Rin, I was looking for you. Have you seen—who are these people?"
Shelly asked as she looked at llisa and her party. llisa imdiately straightened her back once she noticed Shelly and decided to turn her attention to Shelly
llisa tried using her skill on Shelly, but Shelly did not even give her the ti. One second, llisa was activating her skill, the next, Shelly had jumped over the table and reached llisa before pushing her down.
No one had the ti to react before Shelly pulled llisa’s hands behind her back and was holding her hostage.
"I didn’t like the way you were treating Rin. And you also tried to use your ability on . What were you planning to do?"
Shelly asked as she twisted llisa’s arm behind her back. The angle was awkward enough to hurt and llisa imdiately let out a startled yell of pain.
"Let go. It hurts! You all! Help out."
llisa ordered the people around her and her party imdiately reacted. Even Teressa and Collin reacted, heading toward Shelly.
Rin felt compelled to help llisa to maintain the illusion that he was under her power.
"Shelly, can you let Miss llisa go? We were in the middle of a talk."
Rin gently persuaded Shelly but she did not seem to be in the mood to be coaxed. Still, she slowly pulled back and went back toward the sofa and sat beside Rin.
She clutched Rin’s arm and maintained eye contact with llisa, daring her to act on her impulses again.
llisa let out a sigh once she was free, but she was much more cautious dealing with Shelly from then on.
"Tsk, you almost killed . How are you going to compensate for this?"
llisa asked this question to Rin. She expected sothing in return for getting attacked but it was her own fault. Why did Rin have to give her anything?
"I am waiting. Hurry up before my temper gets the better of ."
llisa complained and Rin noticed both Teressa and Collin flinching at her threat. Her powers must be making them uncomfortable.
So Rin made a worried face as well and took out a potion to give her.
"I apologize for causing you distress. Here, take this healing potion as a gesture of apology."
Rin told her and llisa frowned as she reached for the bottle.
"What is this useless junk? Are you trying to poison ? There is nothing like a ’healing potion’ in the system’s database. Are you trying to trick -"
Shelly grabbed the bottle from llisa’s hand and broke it onto llisa’s hand The cuts from the bottle instantly started to heal, showing off the power of the healing potion.
The people from the Girl’s Battle Frontier looked shocked to see such a miracle. Their shock surprised Rin in return and he suddenly realized that it was early enough in the apocalypse where such items have not even hit the market.
’Isn’t this...the perfect way to make profit? I can offer potions and enhanced weapons as rewards for cooperation from other groups and even push for an advantage."
Because Rin had been surrounded by extraordinary people, he had not even just how powerful his ability was. But being faced with outsiders made him think of new ways to use his powers.
llisa quickly gathered herself first and once the shock faded, her anger took over.
"What do you think you are doing? How dare you try to harm ? Do you think you will get away with this? Apologize to right now."
She asked in an angry voice and aid it all at Shelly. Unfortunately for her, Shelly did not seem to care.
"I’m not sorry. You were questioning the authenticity of this potion, so I decided to show it to you. Why would I be sorry for doing sothing you wanted? See, the potion worked perfectly. There is not even a scar left as evidence of what happened."
Rin did not realize it before, but Shelly was actually scary. She did not even blink when she smashed the potion bottle right over llisa’s hand and instead of apologizing, she was giving justification.
Sohow, Rin could imagine her killing soone with a smile and then giving justification for why he needed to be killed. And yet, it did not make him as unsettled as he expected.
Perhaps Shelly was the kind of person who could make him accept all parts of her.
"Y-You bitch! Ugh, I have never t a girl like you before. Is it because you grew up around guys that you decided to abandon your gentleness and decorum? What about your common sense? Did you lose that sowhere as well?"
llisa asked in an angry voice while throwing her handkerchief on the table. It imdiately turned green after soaking in the potion.
Anyone could see that llisa’s temper was about to reach its peak, so the people around her decided to step in. Her caretaker imdiately put a hand on her shoulder and guided her out.
"Miss, let’s have Rosa take care of the situation for us. You don’t want your elder sister to make fun of you for failing, right?"
That cald llisa down a little and Rin had a feeling no one but her was supposed to hear these words.
