Chapter50

The man Hajin had forced to apologize reacted first, because panic made stupid people even stupider.
"Y-Yenna, this bastard attacked me for no reason," he said, still half on the ground and rubbing his throat. "I was just talking and he-"
She looked at him with cold eyes, making him top talking.
'Haaah, okay,' Hajin thought, watching that happen. 'I have to diffuse this whole mess before things get messier.' 
Yenna did not take her eyes off the guy for another second before finally speaking again, "did I ask for your version first?" she said.
"N-no."
"Then keep your mouth shut until you are asked to speak." She turned her attention to Hajin next, her bright blue eyes staying on him for a little bit before speaking, "you, let him go."
Hajin let go of the man right away and took a small step back while the guy dropped to the floor and started coughing.
'Yeah, no,' he thought, watching the man hold his throat, 'fighting an idiot is one thing, but fighting a ranked adventurer is just insanity.'
He rubbed the back of his neck and kept his face calm, even though her presence was still making him feel uncomfortable.
'I should just go along with whatever she demands for now,' he thought, keeping his eyes on Yenna. 'That is the easiest fix.'
She kept looking at him for a moment before asking, "well? What happened here?"
He was about to answer when he felt something lightly grab the back of his shirt. He glanced down a little and noticed that Juna had somehow moved behind him without him noticing, using his back as cover while one hand lightly held onto his clothes.
'Wait, what?' he thought, trying not to show it on his face. 'She is hiding behind me? Woah, I didn't expect that, maybe she is opening up a little?'
That was unexpected, throwing him off for a second, 'nice, that whole scene might have not been a bad thing after all,' he thought, forcing his attention back to Yenna before the pause got awkward.
