Chapter 93 - Episode Sixteen
Gaston waded through the procession and pushed forward.
If it was impossible to get through, he would reasonably pull back. Everyone didn’t want to be spotted by Gaston, but they were quietly opening the way.
Gaston place his elbow to the receptionist with satisfaction and smiled wide open.
“Hey woman, let’s get on with the assessment! That is my credit for what I’ve done here.”
He thrusts the bag that clothed the balm bird forward.
The Gordon brothers lag behind Gaston and put the balm bird on the counter.
“Hey, open up!”
Gaston ordered, and the Gordon brothers untied the bag that they had tied up.
“No-, no way, all of this……”
“Yes! The balm bird! I’m the one who got them all! It’s all my credit!”
To the receptionist, rather than to the receptionist, Gaston replied, as if to let the entire facility hear.
“That many balm birds all by himself!? I-, I mean, there’s no way he could……”
One of the adventurers who had been watching the situation spilled out a small word.
“What! If you have a problem with that, you might as well say it out loud! Whoever said that was a joke just now, come out!”
Gaston turns red in the face and frightens him.
The man tries to turn himself around and run away, but Gaston grabs him by the collar and captures him.
“Say it again!”
“N-, no! You’re wrong! I’m not trying to be difficult…… but it’s impossible! No matter how you think about it, it’s impossible! And now, moreover, it’s not even in the mating season of the balm bird……”
“What the hell kind of stupid thing are you talking about. I’m just moving faster than a balm bird! You got a problem with that? Huh!?”
“Fa-, faster than a balm bird!?”
The man recites what Gaston said.
“And if I can’t do it, how do you explain this pile of balm birds? Ahn?”
“Well, that’s……”
I’ve been blending in with the adventurers as an onlooker, wondering how they can say that.
“I hate those people who can’t do anything themselves but criticize others for doing what they want. Next time you say something like that!”
“I’m, I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Didn’t we do the exact same thing before, Gaston…?
Do I need to be that impudent to make it in this town?
I feel like going back to Marren tribe’s village now.
“Ha! Guess there’s no next time!”
Gaston drops the man off and walks back to the reception desk.
“Hey…… do you really think he got them?”
“But it’s true that there is…… and that’s all I can say……”
“Isn’t Gaston actually absurdly strong?”
Whisperingly, the people around began to gossip in hushed tones.
Perhaps because of Gaston’s bullish attitude, the atmosphere around me was changing.
As expected of Gaston, if it had been me, this wouldn’t have happened.
I feel bad for the person who was threatened, but I’ll thank them now for their impudence.
“Well, so, um…… the report……”
“Here it is! Here!”
Gaston handed him a mangled piece of paper from his pocket.
It was a report written by Mea.
I, It’s as far as I can read……
“Me, mea worked so hard writing it……”
I glanced at Mea and saw a bit of tear in her eyes.
The receptionist carefully unfolded the report and frowned.
“What?’ Do you have a problem with that?”
“W-, well…… the fact that he swung this tree around in the air is……”
Hearing that, Gaston’s expression froze for a moment, too.
I couldn’t help but cover my face with my hands.
I was also tired, so I was relieved when he added the description of the arrows, and I guess I missed it.
“…… ahhhhhh.”
Gaston, as expected, seemed to be at a loss for words, but he quickly tightened his expression.
“I, I pulled it out and swung it around! What are you complaining about!”
He, he pushed through.
He hesitated for a second, but he pushed through.
I mean, it’s impossible. If you can, try it.
I thought it was a bad idea, but maybe the threat he had just made worked, or maybe everyone had become numb to the balm bird, but no one complained about it.
“Enough about that. Just get on with the assessment!”
“W-Wait a minute! For now, a quick look…… lightly, I’d say it’s more than half a million g’s……”
I heard the amount and my heart guts posed.
At this rate, I’ll be able to pay off my debt to Mea in no time.
Gaston’s eyes change color for a moment, but he meets Gordon’s gaze and clicks his tongue.
“I don’t give a damn about the money! What will happen to my rank!?”
Gaston leans forward, banging on the receptionist’s counter.
“Eh!? Eh, Ehhh!? I’m, I’m sorry, sir, but that one is under an impartial decision of the higher-ups……”
He remembered that he had to hand over the money and he lost interest.
…… At that state, he will probably give the money without a problem, but I think he’s going to run out of patience soon. Will it be okay?
“Awesome, Gaston-san! When did you take down so many preys! That’s so distant of you, leaving us behind. Buy me a drink or something!”
“Yes, that’s right!”
Gaston’s usual cronies move closer to Gaston.
Gaston narrows his eyes in annoyance.
“Oh? Hey, you guys, this money……”
Gaston almost slips up and gets a glare from Gordon.
He closes his mouth quickly.
“…… tch, one of these days.”
“Yay!”
“As expected of Brother Gaston!”
“It’s 500,000 G’s you know, 500,000 G’s. Let’s rent out the entire place tonight.”
His cronies are screaming and making a lot of noise.
“H-, hey! I said one of these days……”
Gaston yells to his cronies with a slightly twitching face.
“Shhhh! I knew Brother Gaston would do it one day!”
I’ll go make a reservation.”
Gaston’s cronies rush out of the facility in a hurry.
Gaston looked off the backs of his cronies with a straight face, then seemed to spot me and quickly shifted his gaze from me. The face looking at me was also a straight face.
…… N-, no, you definitely gotta give back that money?
