Therefore, the safest approach is to find teammates who are virtually unknown but possess solid skills.
At crucial moments, it can catch the opponent off guard.
A tavern in the original story perfectly fits Eugene's requirements.
Its name is "The Abundant Mistress".
A very special tavern.
……
In Orario, there are currently two of the most powerful clans.
They are Loki's Familia, led by Loki, the god of mischief.
And the Freya Familia under the command of the goddess Freya.
On the surface, the two powers are evenly matched.
However, the Loki Familia has a stronger internal cohesion and is a noisy, large family.
The Freya Familia, on the other hand, has a core member who possesses formidable combat power.
They've all gathered together to garner Freya's favor; essentially, they're rivals...
There's nothing we can do; the charm of that goddess is simply irresistible.
The number one womanizer in the celestial realm is a complete dimensional slasher on the ground.
The tavern "The Abundant Mistress" has a very close relationship with the Freya Familia.
Who would have thought that the seemingly unattractive, but imposing, two-meter-tall proprietress, Mia's mother, was actually quite different from her usual self?
He will be the former leader of the Freya Familia.
A top-tier adventurer at level 6, a peerless master who can single-handedly form an army?
Despite being a dwarf, he has an unusually tall physique of nearly two meters.
He is known in the martial arts world as "Little Giant".
You can see masters of that caliber, the Five Great Masters of the World, every day just by having a meal.
True masters are found among ordinary people!
This semi-retired master developed a strange habit after returning to the common people.
That is—to adopt a daughter.
Cough, doesn't it give you a sense of déjà vu with a white beard?
Indeed, the people they recruited were all highly skilled individuals with impressive backgrounds!
Ryu.Lion, lv4, elf, titled Gale, member of the Astrea Familia, the goddess of justice. During the dark period, he caused bloodshed by wantonly retaliating against the dark faction, and was put on a bounty by the guild with a reward of 80 million!
Chloe Lolo, level 4, cat-person, titled Black Cat, member of the Njord Familia, the god of fisheries, former professional assassin, renowned throughout the underworld, with a bounty of over fifty million!
Runova Fast, Level 4, Human, Title: Black Fist, Member of the Familia of the Goddess of Agriculture Demeter, Former Bounty Hunter, Also a Star in the Underworld, with a Bounty of 30 Million!
The net worth of these three alone is worth 160 million.
And now, they are all working as waitresses at "The Abundant Mistress"...
It's so arrogant.
And this is what Eugene can use.
Three beautiful girls with exceptional skills, little reputation, and distant ties to their clan (emphasis added).
The perfect bodyguard candidate.
Although there might be some resistance in trying to poach them from the tavern (warnings from Mia's mother's iron fist).
But Eugene still had his own confidence.
He believes the information he possesses is enough to sway the hearts of these three beauties.
"Such a great character, it would be such a waste if he really spent the rest of his life working in a bar..."
Standing in front of the tavern, Eugene strolled inside like any ordinary diner.
Welcome!
A variety of beautiful girls greeted them in unison.
Eugene spotted his targets at a glance.
Chloe Lolo, a cat-eared girl with straight black hair past her ears, a mischievous look in her eyes, and a light, quick gait.
Runova Fast, a cheerful and capable human girl with light brown curly hair, full lips, and a steady, confident posture.
And, one of the most popular female protagonists in the original work.
"Sir, please take a seat here."
A girl dressed as a maid stepped forward, her voice cool and her manners impeccable.
Her expression was indifferent, her features were beautiful, and there was an imperceptible melancholy in the depths of her azure eyes.
Those fair and delicate skin and slender, pointed ears are proof of the purity of a pure-blooded elf.
Perhaps the hair dye wasn't working well, but the light green hair always seemed to have a layer of dazzling gold.
Gale - Ryu.Ryo.
She is indeed a stunning beauty with an outstanding presence that makes it impossible to look away.
Despite his frivolous and enthusiastic demeanor, Eugene is almost the complete opposite of this aloof and serene impression.
But appreciating beauty will always be a man's hobby.
I'm so sorry, little bunny (Bell Crane).
Since I'm here...
Then you're out of luck with this girl.
12. What bad intentions could a blond guy like me have?
(A seasoned lover, lol)
"Huh? Hire my girl?"
Behind the counter, Mia's mother's expression changed drastically.
The oppressive aura emanating from level 6 was overwhelming, as if I were being drenched in a downpour and trapped in a prison.
Fortunately, Eugene was mentally prepared.
Anyone else might have been scared out of their wits.
"Hey kid, what do you think my shop is?"
"Could it be that they're planning something weird?"
As Mia drew closer, Eugene broke out in a cold sweat.
Goodness, this sense of oppression is so intense, I can hardly speak.
But at this critical moment, even the slightest stutter is unacceptable.
That fist, as big as a clay pot, might be about to strike someone.
"Haha, you've misunderstood."
Eugene forced a smile:
"What bad intentions could a punk like me have?"
...The air suddenly became quiet.
Oops! I misspoke!
Eugene's expression changed drastically!
"So you know you're a blond guy, huh?!"
Mia's teeth chattered as her anger surged, threatening to burst its limit!
"It's the guards!"
Eugene quickly revealed his true intentions, thus suppressing the other party's intimidating aura.
"Actually, I've been having some personal safety issues lately."
"We need some highly skilled but low-key experts."
As he spoke, he intentionally glanced at the busy girls in the hall.
The meaning is clear: they have some understanding of their origins.
"no way."
"They are my daughters, my property. How could I lend them to someone like you with dubious background?"
However, Mia still refused cleanly and decisively.
"Besides, you caused this trouble yourself, so you don't have the right to make others take the risks for you, do you?"
This is it! Eugene was overjoyed.
Her words perfectly followed the reason she had prepared.
Not to mention that these three girls are already retired, Mia's mother's tone is very firm.
This strong woman, no, this domineering woman, doesn't get involved in anything except shop matters.
No matter how miserable he was, nothing could move her.
All people care about is the store and the girl inside.
So, in order to win over these three girls...
There is only one way—
Let them choose to resign voluntarily!
"call……"
