Sword Rankers
Welcome Party

Ccsshhhh....

The burnt meat gave off a distinctive hissing sound, the fragrant aroma of the beef that had been seasoned with barbeque sauce was very tempting.

Ran sat on the floor covered with carpet while holding his feet, in his head he was still difficult to digest the thing that happened at this time.

"Ran's this enough?" Yamaguchi suddenly appeared from behind while thrusting a plate containing barbeque meat that had been cut into small pieces.

"Oh yeah, this way, I can't eat much."

Ran received his barbeque meat with a little awkwardness.

"OK, if less later ask for more, by the way, please be careful not to spill the sauce on the carpet well." Yamaguchi went back to grilling the meat again after warning Ran.

Ran thrust a fork into the newly cooked meat, he did not intend to eat it directly, instead he instead thought, How come this is it?

In short, when Rodri was about to go to the floor, he suddenly turned and headed towards Ran with enthusiasm, out of nowhere his idea, but like a child who wanted to celebrate his birthday, Rodri proposed an idea.

"Oh yes! We should have a barbeque party! There's no way we don't do anything after there's a new member right? How's Yamaguchi?"

"No problem, I happen to still have a fairly large stock of meat, plus I'm confused about what to process it into."

"Dine! Then everyone agrees, right? How's Ribben? You're gonna want to, right? You're Otto too! Don't think you can run away, we have to greet the new members properly."

"I-I don't care, I-I must be coming."

"Eughh... Can I not come with me? I'm so tired you know?"

"Can't! You are all obliged to come! Isn't that Ran?"

Ran was too shocked to answer because it was too sudden, plus Rodri who was too excited to hold onto Ran's shoulder and continued to shake Ran's body.

"Err.. I-I..."

"Well! Ran is going to! When you want to disappoint him? Come on, don't be like a man who doesn't have a heart like that. Anyway after the bath everything gathers on my floor, which does not come will I drag anyway, period!"

I haven't even answered Oi. Gerrutu Ran in heart.

But Ran can't resist it, and ends up being dragged into a barbeque party.

The barbeque party was held on Rodri's floor, precisely a semi-circular floor that jutted out of the floor. The floor was Rodri's idea, he asked him specifically to be a room to gather if there are activities together.

The most unexpected thing, is the existence of a dome that covers this semi-circular floor, the dome serves as camouflage, so that from the outside it looks empty, while the inside is very luxurious.

From the explanation Rodri gave Ran, the atmosphere on this floor could be arranged as he pleased thanks to Aurel, the current atmosphere on this floor felt like night, with a dark starry ceiling. A soft fur carpet covers the stepped floor, so soft that it is comfortable enough to sleep on.

Most unexpectedly, there are many facilities to play on this floor. There are mini tennis courts, arcade games, even up to high-spec advanced computers are in this place and free to use. Ran seems to be in the room of a rich person who likes to waste his money to make a luxurious playroom.

Is it okay for me to receive such a lavish welcome? Inner Ran when seeing how luxurious this place was.

Ran was not the type who could receive luxurious treatment from the person he had just met. He still felt awkward about this situation that existed at this time.

Ran looked around, everything seemed comfortable and used to this.

Yamaguchi and Bon sir cooked barbeque meat, they seemed to have gotten used to this, beside them, there was Rodri who was pacing around impatiently.

"It's dead, right? I'll take ya."

"Not yet! Don't eat first, the meat must be perfectly cooked, if it's still raw, your stomach will hurt."

"So, long time Yamaguchi, I'm Hyper, it's okay to eat meat that's a little immature."

"Stay not Rodri, if you are sick, I will bother later."

"Already, already, Rodri please be patient for a moment well, after all you were already eating."

"Currently, I only ate a little."

The three of them casually chatted and joked, Ran wanted to come along, he was already used to chatting and joking with Mr. Bon. But he felt awkward because there was Rodri and Yamaguchi who he did not know well.

Ran turned his gaze elsewhere, there were Rose and Ribben who were preparing the cutlery and seasoning the meat to be roasted.

From there Ran could see, the awkward and shy Ribben that Ran met was nowhere to be seen, instead he looked comfortable with Rose. From there Ran could tell if Rose and Ribben were already very familiar.

"Be careful Ribben, don't fall off the plate."

"Ahaha, take it easy, it's safe, brother."

Ran is quite surprised, seeing people who tremble when they meet him, it turns out to be able to communicate smoothly in front of people he knows, but Ran also realizes that he is the same, Oh yes, he is, I am so too, Dad.

Then Ran looked beside him, there was Otto who was sleeping comfortably, Otto had changed into his pajamas, but he did not seem to clean himself properly, still smelling a fishy smell of faint blood.

Ran still did not understand Otto, he seemed to care about nothing and focused on lazing around.

Why would he be a wild Ranker? It seemed that he had no motivation to become a wild Ranker.

However, when talking about motivation, Ran remembered with others who seemed to also have a strange motivation.

Madison, the weird genius that Mr. Bon thinks is a little crazy.

"Come on, Come on Son! You can definitely! Just a little more."

"AHAHAHAH... Just chill! This great me will not lose, I will definitely break his record!"

Madison is currently playing a computer game with Aurel, while occasionally yelling at Yamaguchi to ask for barbeque meat. They both seem to fit. Shouting each other gave encouragement for something that only they understood.

I thought Aurel was a fairly calm type although cheerful, it turns out he was very excited well.

Ran continued to observe the other members while twirling the fork he had plugged into the meat, Ran seemed to have forgotten the barbeque meat in his hand.

Seeing Ran who was even messing with food, someone came to Ran.

"Hayo! Why isn't the food eaten!?"

"Akhh! Eh? Ro-Rodri though? Just surprise me."

Rodri comes from behind suddenly and surprises Ran, "Yo Ran! Why not eat? Afraid of not feeling good? Take it easy, the meat made by Yamaguchi is guaranteed to be 100% delicious, I guarantee it, the taste never fails, let alone the barbeque seasoning made it taste steady!"

Even though Rodri was friendly to Ran, but Ran was still difficult to get close, he was still awkward with Rodri to shift his eyes, "Ti-no really, just that I'm not too hungry."

Although Ran said that, Rodri realized there was something strange about Ran, "Ran, you are... Still awkward huh? Ehehe... Shame on the story?" Rodri said to tease Ran.

Ran whose secret is known to be embarrassed, his face began to redden until he had to duck so as not to be found out, "Ti-no really, I-I'm not ashamed."

"Ahahahahaha, don't lie to Ran, you look a lot like Ribben when he was just here."

"Mkkhhh... Well, you're right, sorry, you guys are so good but I'm like this."

"You're like me too?"

"No, I can instantly blend in because the people are fun."

Then why did you try that? Want to mock yah. Gerrutu Ran in heart.

"Ehehehehe, you must feel I'm mocking you right?"

"Eh, uh, no-no."

"Hahahaha, it's okay, from your face it looks clear."

"Sorry."

"Hey, no need to apologize, I'm a relaxed person. I told you, right? Just relax here, there will be no one to judge you anyway, no one will insult you just because your Hyper ability is not as good as everyone else."

"Eh?" Ran was very surprised, he who initially lowered his head, reflexively looked directly at Rodri.

"Shock yeah? Just so you know, the people here, all got the same treatment outside, always insulted and ostracized because his Hyper ability is not as strong or as useful as others. So we're very comfortable here, there's nothing to insult us anymore like outside, let alone there's Madison who helps us to be able to maximize the ability we have."

"That's so... I can understand, I've always been bad-mouched out there." Ran said softly.

Ran again remembered what he had been through all this time, he remembered with insults that were always directed at him first.

Rodri then smiled warmly, "Because of that Ran, I also hope that you can also be comfortable here, just like I am also comfortable here."

Ran was pensive to hear it, only very few people cared about him.

"Well, I wish I could."

"Ehe, it's got to be dong!" Rodri said with a laugh.

Unknowingly, the others followed to Ran's place.

Yamaguchi while carrying a large pile of barbeque meat came over and asked, "Hmm... What were you talking about earlier?"

"Ehe, dong's secret." Said Rodri while putting his index finger in front of his mouth.

Ran just smiled wryly.

The others soon gathered due to the scent of barbeque meat.

"Well meat! I eat barbeque meat."

"Eum, Eum, look at the color, very pretty~"

"Dam! You guys have already eaten, do not take the meat, take the vegetables too. Hoi Otto, let's get up, run out."

"Already, already, slowly, do not struggle."

Everything was fighting over each other's flesh, the atmosphere was lively and cheerful with sounds and laughter.

And for some reason, Ran felt comfortable despite the noisy atmosphere.

Ran also took the meat from earlier he played around, Ran finally ate it, and sure enough what Rodri said. The taste of Yamaguchi made meat is really delicious, the texture is smooth so it is comfortable to chew it, the flavor is also no less delicious, the taste is very fused to the deepest part of the meat.

"It's so lezat." Ran subconsciously said so.

The hearing Yamaguchi lowered his head down while raising his glasses up with his index finger. When no one was looking, he smiled a little.

Ran enjoyed the taste of his flesh so much that he was unconscious with the person before him, only when his flesh ran out did Ran become aware of the person before him. That person was Rose, he gently ate her barbeque meat.

From her gentle and graceful way of eating, Ran could only see that Rose was indeed a woman.

Ran recalled his mistake, he wanted to apologize but did not know what to say. But unexpectedly...

"I'm sorry, yeah." Rose suddenly said.

Ran was surprised to hear it, he thought that the speech was not for him.

But Rose confirmed it again, "I'm sorry Ran, for hitting you. You're not entirely wrong."

"Eh, don't apologize, I'm wrong to assume that anyway."

"No, you're not wrong, I'm wrong because of the prestige to admit that I don't look like a woman. I mean look, which woman has this big arm muscle." Rose said while revealing her muscular arms.

Ran then looked at her arm that looked thin compared to Rose's, "You're right, but I'm still wrong, so I'm still sorry."

"It's okay, I'm sorry too."

Seeing Ran and Rose making up, Bon sir became happy, "Good, good, this is how I want, young people forgive each other and get along. I hope there are many young people who want to join this guild, unfortunately it is very difficult to invite new people to join. Though I have named this guild by a good name."

"What's his name sir?" Ran asked out of curiosity.

"Hehe, don't be surprised Ran, this is a name that I thought with great difficulty. I'll give you a name, Bon & Friends. Hows it? Nice right?"

"Buset, really ugly, deserves no one to join." Shouts Ran spontaneously

"Oi, it's not polite to know."

"Mahaha...." Everyone laughed at Ran's response.

"Truly! From the beginning his name was suspicious."

"It's true, though a little harsh, but the name of this Guild is too childish."

Mr. Bon who was mocked became embarrassed, he then cleared his throat and wanted to say something, "Ehem, you know, forget it. By the way, let's congratulate our 10th member."

"Eh? Am I the 10th? I thought I was the 11th." Asked Ran astonished.

"Ahaha, no Ran, you're actually the 10th member, last night I told Aurel and the others, to prepare a place for you. That's why Aurel was on guard inside, well even though I didn't ask him to stand guard in front anyway."

"Wo-Wow, I don't suspect it."

"Then, for our 10th member!"

"Welcome to Ran."

"Hopefully at home."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"Welcome to join our Guild Ran."
