“You… when did you?”
“It’s bad talking about someone else behind their back…”
Lalit then released his hand and retracted his Damascus dagger. Seeing the tense situation resolved, both Dorogosu and Chemie who had been watching let out a sigh. It wasn’t strange for this kind of attack to happen, but to get it done wasn’t so easy and Jimugo was not someone who’s weak. Of course when battling against another adventurer a scout position like Lalit will use poison, paralysis, or surprise attack and trap. There were even the methods of using sharp thread that can cut limbs immediately, however their movement won’t be as quick as Lalit.
Lalit was considered as one of the weakest in the group since he was just a scout but seeing his attack on Jimugo makes his position at the bottom of the group go up.
“Lalit, I’m sorry. Jimugo was probably just jealous and the way you refused the leader is upsetting.”
“Is that so? But I don’t care.”
……………….
Inside Comer city adventurer’s guild, Mofisu was sitting with a tired face.
“I don’t know about this, where is this rookie from?”
“Don’t play jokes, you know the ‘crimson meteor’ clan has a rookie that was taking the C rank test. You can tell it yourself.”
The man that was sitting infront of Mofisu was a silver haired dark elf with brown skin. The dark elf man stared at Mofisu while adjusting his glasses with his middle finger. Of course the glasses itself wasn’t a normal item. It can only be acquired from the imperial city auction and this item was very rare. It looked like normal glasses but it has 【appraisal】 skill on it.
Mofisu turned his head to escape from the glasses line of sight. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Alright, let’s stop this pointless talk and call Joseph here. I want to know the details directly.”
“What are you saying?”
“Recently there had been a dispute between someone in the guild with the ‘crimson meteor’ clan. I want to know where is Yu Sato!”
“Eh? What does it have to do with Yu Sato?”
“You know? I got a promising rookie on a quest. Two of them died and only one came back. I heard that they encountered a Goblin King and at that time they had a party with a girl that was Yu Sato’s companion. Also on the C rank promotion test, Joseph was there. So, can’t I deduce that Yu Sato, the girl and Joseph have a connection?”
“Ah, that is possible.”
“But, that Yu Sato is nowhere to be seen. He doesn’t even have a clan. It is natural as the biggest clan in the Comer city for us to make acquaintances.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
Mofisu’s eyes and the dark elf man’s met and the air became heavy as if a spark was created when their eyes met. It was some kind of illusion but no one was able to interfere with them. No one.
“Why are you two putting on such a scary face? Here is your tea.”
Between Mofisu and Deriddo, Edda suddenly butted in as if nothing was happening. She excellently poured the tea with one hand.
“What? You pour it using one hand? It’s bad manners.”
“Grandpa, you’re annoying.”
“Edda, we’re talking about something here. Please take a seat just in case you know about it.”
If it was an ordinary people, Deriddo’s words sounded intimidating and they can’t refuse it but Edda just smiled.
