Ch.71 A Great Injustice

 Earlier that day before Rya gets cored by the ck Roses, and the morning of the festival a wood elfes out of her room at the Lost Monk Inn.

 "Haah... I lost her! If I don’t find that dark elf soon, who knows what peril the city will be in?" Nieren said to herself as she got ready to search for Rya once more.

 ''I still can''t believe she was able to sense me when I was cloaked! She is very dangerous indeed.'' She thought to herself while eating breakfast.

 "Hey, Nieren! Are you nning on taking a quest?" asked one of the dwarf adventurers in themon room.

 "I am afraid not today. I have something personal to take care of." She answered while chewing her bread.

 "Haah... I was hoping to get a six-person party for this bandit quest. Well, good luck with that!" He said as he walked away to another adventurer.

 Nieren shook her head and went back to the front desk. ''They wouldn''t be much of a help at all. This is something only I can do,'' she thought to herself before checking the bulletin board for any quests that interested her before looking for Rya.

 "Hmm. Nothing of note. Well, time to find her." She said to herself as she looked out the window watching the sunrise.

 ***

 As she searched for the dark elf, she couldn''t find her anywhere. Mostly because the streets were packed with everyone in the city. All because of the festival of the Goddess of Bnce.

 ''Gods, I thought the festival was canceled? Stupid Baron! Doesn''t he know there''s a dark elf running loose in the city! NO! Of course, he doesn''t and no one would believe me anyway! Her being drunk must have been the reason I was spared.'' Nieren thought to herself trying to not bump into all the people on the street.

 At some point, she hears the Baron''s friend yell out to the crowd of people in the main square of Ironside.

 "My people of Ironside! We have gotten good news about the Prince! He and hisrades were able to stop the goblin horde that attacked our city! This proves that my people can never doubt the power of the Lord of Fiafyr as the goddess looks after him!" Arge man shouts loudly.

 ''Man, Jacob is arge man. The Baron finds the strangestpany.'' Nieren thought to herself as she continued to watch.

 He continued on about giving silence to those that have fallen in the Tomb of the Horde and finally started off the festival with the dancers and huge drum.

 "Alright, boys! Let''s give these people something to remember!" Jacob yelled.

 ''Yeah, you have fun. And don''t forget to tell them about how there''s a DARK ELF SOMEWHERE! Jeez, it''s like this city wants to be destroyed. Oh well, I''m the city''s only hope.'' Nieren thought to herself as the drums sounded louder and the music began, and the dancers were on the stage.

 This went on for some time until out of nowhere a Wolf-kin in a cloak was dragging along a tanned woman with azure eyes, also in a cloak, as they nearly bumped into Nieren.

 "Hey! Is this a joke to you?" Rya demands.

 "Of course, it isn''t! Just trust me! I’ve always wanted to win this game and never have. That ends today, Alpha!" Dalia says with excitement as she leads the way.

 ''Whoa! Hey, watch where yo-'' Nieren stops her thoughts when she notices that the other woman is the dark elf. "It''s her!"

 Nieren was stunned. She never expected to bump into Rya so easily. ''What is she nning on doing?''

 Just as she was about to follow, she heard two men behind her.

 "Percy, your future wife can get a little crazy sometimes," Quinus says.

 "Yeah, that''s what makes her special!" Percy says.

 "Well, should we follow them?" Quinus asks.

 "Let''s see what happens!" Percy says.

 ''It''s that guy that helped her. She called him Quin? Yeah, that''s his name. They might be mind controlled by her. Just keep your distance, Nieren!'' as she thought to herself while tailing them until she came upon a booth with a Hex Horned Goat in it.

 "Gah! That stupid game! I can hit a squirrel through the eye from a mile away with my bow but I never could get one of those stupid rings on those Hex Horns. That game is rigid!" Nieren whispered to herself while watching Dalia try and fail to get the first two rings on the goat.

 ''Pff! Wolf-kins are suckers. It''s easy to do.'' Nieren thought to herself as she snuck up on them getting within 15 feet of them.

 "Hey! Dalia, can I see those rings? I wanna see if they have any mana on them?" Rya asks.

 "Sure!" Dalia says while handing the ring to Rya.

 ''W-What she is going to do!'' Nieren started to panic. ''Oh no! She''s gonna use the rings!''

 But to her surprise, Rya didn''t do anything nefarious with the one-inch brass rings.

 "Here Dalia, give it a try now," Rya said as she handed the ring over to Dalia.

 And with that the Wolf-kin nailed her target, getting one ring tond on the Hex Horn.

 ''HOW!?! How can a dumb wolf-kin get a ring on the Hex Horned Goat?'' Nieren thought to herself.

 "That was awesome!" Percy said to Dalia. "Don''t worry. It will be easy for you now. Just focus on your target and everything else will fall into ce." Percy said with a smile.

 "Shh! I''m trying to concentrate!" Dalia whispered.

 Dalia went on to hit the next two horns.

 Nieren was too stunned to notice Quin flirting with Rya as she was getting angry that a wolf-kin with winning a game that she never won.

 "I need to win this game! I''ve beening here every year since I was a kid and I haven''t gotten one ring on a Hex Horned Goat yet," Nieren said to herself before approaching the game booth. The Lady working the booth was panicking about what to do as Dalia was lining up herst shot and got her fourth ring tond.

 "YES!!!" Dalia yelled triumphantly.

 "W-We have a-a winner!?" Thedy working the booth said in disbelief while reluctantly handing over the cash prize.

 "Yes, we do!" Dalia said happily as she took the money.

 "I''m impressed. I''ve never seen anyone ever win this game." Percy said as he looked at the money in Dalia''s hand.

 "Haha! That''s because your wolf is all skill. You need to put your brain into it too." Dalia said as she scratched Percy on the head.

 "Ah... Yeah, I guess you''re right..." Percy said nervously.

 ''She won the four-ring prize? I wanted to win that.'' Nieren thought to herself. ''I bet she''ll try to get the five-ring prize now!''

 But instead of trying the game again Dalia and Percy looked over to Rya and Quin.

 Nieren heard thedy working the stall mumble under her breath while she grabbed the rings off the goat.

 "H-How did that mutt win? It should be impossible to win! The magic on the rings must have worn off?" The woman said under her breath.

 ''I KNEW IT! Oh! I''m going to y this game and demand to use those four untampered rings! I''m going to get a damn ring on that damn goat if it''s thest thing I do dammit!'' Nieren thought to herself as she looked at the bewildered ring toss worker. As she pulled out 5 silver from her purse and mmed it down on the wooden reception desk.

 "I demand to y this game!" Nieren said angrily.

 "You want to y!? Ah, Yes! Thank you for the small donation to the Goddess. Here are your six chances at glory. May the goddess look down upon you," The woman said, surprised while giving Nieren six new brass rings.

 "Oooh no ma''am, I want those other rings in your left hand. I don''t want to waste my money here." Nieren said as she pointed at the rings that thedy was still holding.

 "What? Y-You wish to use these rings? But those ones are just as good as~" She was interrupted when she saw Nieren pull out her bow from her cloak as she had a smile on her face.

 "It would be best if you let me use the other ones, ma''am," Nieren said as she aimed the arrow at the goat.

 "O-Okay! Here you go! M-May luck be on your side!" the game worker said as Nieren put away her weapon and grabbed the six rings while examining them.

 ''Hmm. These two have fresh stone scratches on them when they hit the ground. So, these four should be the ones that the dark elf fixed.'' Nieren thought to herself as she ced the two tampered rings down on the wood table as she took the first ring and focused on cing it onto the goat which was 15 feet away from her.

 Nieren let out a calm breath and closed her eyes as she tossed the first ring. It sailed through the air with ease as itnded perfectly on one of the Hex Horns making a beautiful ringing sound like a meditation bell gong getting slightly stuck. It was music to Nieren''s elf ears as she wanted to cry out in joy.

 She opened her eyes and gave the goat a look to see if it would move. But it didn''t budge. She tossed the next three rings in session as they allnded on the Hex Horn at the same time on different horns.

 ''Everything is right in the world.'' Nieren thought to herself as if she found inner peace for the first time.

 But sadly, Nieren''s inner peace didn''tst long as thedy working the booth asked, "A-Are you going to try thest two attempts, Ma''am?"

 Nieren looked up at the woman with an annoyed look while pushing thest two rings off the table and them letting them fall onto the stone floor.

 "Ugh! W-We have another winner but sadly the four-ring prize is gone so I can give you the three-ring prize instead." the woman said nervously as she waited to see what Nieren would do.

 “Oh, I think I deserve the Six ring prize, don''t you think ma''am?" Nieren said with a tone of annoyance.

 The game worker looked at Nieren and her attitude. "W-Wait! How about the five-ring prize! Here you go! Thank you for trying your luck!" Thedy said as she handed Nieren the five-ring prize.

 "Thank you. Now, if you will excuse me." Nieren said as she turned around and hugged her prize with a happy smile written on her face while rubbing her check on the bag of gold.

 ''A great injustice has been righted! My inner childhood has been saved by Rya!'' Nieren said as she held the five rings with a grin.

 "Huh? Wait a minute? Where did she go!" Nieren asked as she looked around looking for the dark elf. But she couldn''t find her anywhere or her friends. ''Ah! She must have known I was watching her and got me distracted by this game! She''s good." Nieren thought to herself as she quickly looked on the ground to see if she could find Rya''s tracks.

 While behind her the ring toss booth was being flooded by people wanting to y the game with those four untampered rings.

 "W-WE ARE CLOSE DUE TO TACTICAL DIFFICULTIES!" yelled the Lady in the booth while she was trying to close down the game.

 Nieren saw the fresh shoe marks on the ground two were leading to the pce while two went to the restaurant district and thest one was going towards the red light district.

 ''Is she going to a brothel? Weird? But it has to be her traces, I hope. And I won''t let you distract me again you cunning dark elf. I''ll catch up to you.'' Nieren said as she quickly moved away from the booths.
