After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 414

Chapter 414: Girlies
“Hello girl, how are you?” Ansel asked the wolf who was shaking and bleeding in a corner, back against a tree. At this time, they already fed Fufi with Althea’s premium potion and because the bullets didn’t embed too much, he healed fully in no time.

When they saw this, they were relieved and shifted their attention to the new creature.

The wolf growled at him as he approached and Ansel knew it might lunge at him in self-defense. He felt conflicted. He felt bad, but he certainly didn’t want to be bit by those sharp teeth…

Fufi made a small sound beside him and he paused, eyes following as the dog approached the wolf who was still growling.

They watched as Fufi took out a bowl of potion from his space and placed it in front of the wolf. Fufi’s ‘bottle’ was special for obvious reasons. The potions he had in space were in bowl form, with a cover easy to slide to the side with a boop of his nose.

They watched in bated breaths as the wolf just stared at the potion for a while, before it licked it bit by bit, consuming until it was gone.

Ansel smiled and wanted to approach but then the wolf suddenly stood up and looked at them guardedly, even at Fufi, though its body language was just a little more submissive.

Then… it turned and disappeared, making people wonder how it survived so long in her with its level.

…

They arrived to Bright filled with blood about an hour later. It shocked everyone and a lot of gathered around them, Alteran or local, looking at them in worry.

“Oi! What’s wrong with you!” A few guards yelled. Turbo ran to them and used his ability, and was relieved to find that none of them were gravely injured.

It was other people’s blood.

“So, gonna tell us?”

“Eh, just a little skirmish,” he said, shrugging. “You should’ve seen the other guy.”

“And the other party is where?”

“Dead,” the redhead said with a smug smile, patting Fufi’s head, before sliding to the side of his stomach. Knowing a belly rub was about to come, the dog then laid down on his back, welcoming the much-awaited belly-rub.

Fufi was huge so Ansel needed his entire arm to have an effect. He didn’t mind though, because Fufi deserved it. “Fufi ate the strong one.”

“He’s really like a beast and guns didn’t work on him anymore, which is just as well,” Tom said next to him, “It’s really… interesting.”

Ansel nodded, patting the dog’s betty even more. “Good boyyyy… Who’s the best killing machine out there??”

WOOF! WOOF!

(Translation: Kill! Kill!)

Turbo sighed and just shook his head, while Brandon couldn’t help but chuckle.

Micheal, who had just arrived, also heaved a sigh of relief. He could not imagine what could happen to him if Ansel got in trouble in his territory!

Anyway, seeing as everyone was okay, Micheal looked around and gave Dig a look. The big man nodded and clapped his hand. “Let them have their space now, nothing to see here.”

With the lord’s orders, the curious crowd dispersed a bit. Ansel thanked them for their worry and said their goodbyes, heading toward their house of stay so they could get cleaned up.

Before going, he realized there were a few teens who were staring at them, following their movements every so often. He smiled, looking at the adorable opportunistic teens who were looking for jobs. “Fine, I want at least 5 pails of water from the well,” he said, handing them the pay for water, and a few more bits of copper as extra.

“I’ll pay more upon successful delivery.”

“YAY, Thanks, Mister Ansel!” One said.

“As handsome as always!” Another one nodded.

“We’ll get them to you with little waste!” The last one said, and the three teens scuttled away to do their ‘business’ (though not before greeting their half-amused lord as well).

Ansel chuckled and they just headed to their home. As he waited for his and Fufi’s water though, he decided to open the topic to the lord while he was here. It was just that before he could say anything, a knock sounded on the door.

It was a young woman. She seemed really shy and her face was red as a baboon’s butt.

She was a bit familiar, and it took Ansel a while to remember she was one of his good customers back when they were ‘pirating’.

“Are you alright, Ansel?” she asked, gentle, and he smiled, blinding the girl with his ‘beauty’. She only noticed the lord there and gave him a polite greeting as well.

“Yes dear, thank you for asking,” he said, looking at the potion the girl was shakily holding. “I already healed thanks,” he said, “You can keep it in your space for emergencies.”

“But, I…” then she looked at him again, just to make sure.

“It’s true,” he said, his beautiful eyes fixing on her, making her heart beat even more erratically. “I’d be more at peace to know you have one with you.”

The girl almost fainted at his words. Fortunately, she didn’t in the end. She just nodded and obediently put the potion back in her space.

Before she went away though, she turned again to him, “Uhm… be careful on your w-way back…”

“Thank you.”

“I… I’m moving there soon.”

“Oh?” Ansel brightened, though it was primarily because he was looking at a new taxpayer to fatten his sister’s wallet. The girl misunderstood though and she blushed even more.

Unable to handle her heart, she just quickly said her goodbye and scurried away.

Ansel chuckled, used to this reaction from women, before turning to the others who were giving him sly smiles.

He shrugged (irking some people) and turned to look at the perenially smiling dog next to him.

“Anyway, speaking of pretty ladies…,” he mumbled, looking at Fufi. “What’s with that pretty wolf, eh? What do you think of her?”

“Woof! Woof!”

Although Ansel couldn’t quite understand what he was saying as Althea could, he could still have a sense of it.

He said something along the lines of ‘Pretty! Beautiful! Gorgeous!’

“…”

He laughed. “Anyway, let’s go get cleaned up and run back to Altera immediately, eh?”

Suddenly, his joking expression morphed, and he turned to Micheal who was just about to leave. The man flinched a little under his stare, unused to the sudden serious expression on his face.

“Be careful man,” he said, “You’ve got enemies in your midst.”
