These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 206 : End of the competition (3)
The moment that we came out, their attention fell onto us.
With the way that they looked at us, it was clear that they knew who we were.
At the same time, it seemed that there were quite a few people that were looking at us with not so kind looks. It was almost as if they were looking at us like we owed them money or something.
But it wasn't hard to guess why they were looking at us like this.
Even though there were many adults that were looking in this direction like this, it didn't seem like Leaf was bothered at all. She just had a calm smile on her face as she faced all of the scrutiny that fell onto her.
It was different for me since there was no one for me to rely on.
It was just a good thing that I still had my disguise on or else it certainly would have been hard for me and my group.
Since there were adults to back them, there were a few people that were filled with courage.
When they were filled with courage, it gave them the boldness to do something that they shouldn't have done. Though to say that it was completely because of this courage would be a lie.
After all, there were other people that had ulterior motives.
They had already heard about what had happened inside of the dungeon, so it wasn't as if they wouldn't know certain things about me and Leaf.
In that case, they would want to send someone to test us.
That was why there were a few of the other contestants that were approaching us.
When they came over, they stood right in front of us and raised their fingers to point at us before raising their voices to accuse us.
"How dare you steal the Boss Monster that everyone was working together to fight?"
"Do you think that you can betray everyone and get away with this?"

"This is a clear violation of the rules and we intend to dispute this matter with the judges."
Once they raised their voices, even more people turned their attention to us. Some of them seemed to be supporting these people, but it seemed that most people were remaining neutral.
It seemed like they were more interested in seeing how we would get ourselves out of this situation.
I didn't panic when they accused us like this since I already knew what they were planning to do. I just simply narrowed my eyes to look at them, while slowly thinking about what to say.
Only before I could say anything, Leaf suddenly stepped forward with a faint smile that was filled with confidence before saying, "Aren't you embarrassed saying something like this?"
The moment that they heard this, the faces of the accusers turned ugly.
They had only wanted to provoke a small reaction, so they never expected Leaf to suddenly swing at them like this. There were even traces of confusion in their eyes as they didn't expect her to actually go this far.
It didn't seem to make sense that she would actually say something like this all of a sudden.
When they came back to their senses, one of them said, "You! Do you think that you can insult us like this? You…"
"You're the one insulting yourselves with your own words. It really is hard to guess if there's even the tiniest bit of intelligence in your brains with the way that you're acting." Leaf didn't even care about what he was about to say as she cut him off with these words and a sigh. Then when she was done, she spread her hands out and shook her head as if she was really looking at an idiot.
Their faces turned even uglier when they heard this, but they didn't have the courage to actually get physical.
The only thing that they could use were their words.
So the next thing they did was try to sway the crowd to be on their side.
"You're the one that's acting unscrupulous, betraying everyone like that. When everyone was…"
"It seems that you really are dumb. Why would people work together to fight the Boss Monster when it's a competition? Do you really think that you could divide the Boss Monster up evenly? You just simply didn't have the power to take the Boss Monster for yourself and now you're just angry because of shame. You're trying to take this anger out on us, which is even more shameful for you." Leaf said in a tone as if she was speaking to an idiot.
When this was pointed out, there were a few chuckles that came from around them.
After all, everyone already knew this, only they chose not to say anything because they had been trying to see how they would react.
But now that it was brought out into the open, of course they would make fun of those that were trying to cause trouble.
Hearing these laughs, their faces turned red with shame and they became angry because of this shame. Without hesitation, they lost control of themselves and pulled out their weapons as if they wanted to start a fight.
Only it wasn't as if they could win in a fight.
In the first place, they had avoided clashing with Leaf directly because they just couldn't beat her.
Leaf even seemed confident when she saw them like this, so she pulled out her tree familiar and raised a barrier around herself as if she was ready for a fight.
But before this clash could happen, there was a powerful aura that appeared.
It seemed that the parent of one of the accusers was actually taking action.
He threw away his face to take action on some kids that weren't even half his age.
"Do you think that my daughter is that easy to bully?"
Only the moment that he took action, there was another powerful aura that suppressed him, causing a shocked look to appear on his face.
