Chapter 19.1 - Magic Swordsman and Black Organization [2] – part 1 (1/2)

Magic Swordsman and Black Organization [2] – part 1

After ending the trouble with Dread-san before it developed into a bigger problem, we went straight to the back of the association.

As we went straight ahead, we soon found a place that read「Reception」in a large text.

(Q-Quite easy to spot…)

Even if you’re new to this place, you’ll know at a glance that this is the reception – it was a very friendly design.

However, one section was very unfriendly.

(Is that person… the receptionist…?)

It was a man with a frightening look who seemed to be the receptionist.

Clean shaven head. A well-proportioned mustache. Blacker than black sunglasses. A robust muscular body. He appears to be in his mid-forties.

His expression was『nothing』and he was just reading the newspaper silently.

(Is there any other receptionist besides this person…?)

I looked around, but unfortunately I couldn’t find any such person.

(I guess, this person is the only one…)

To be honest, he’s a little scary, but… Leia-sensei seems to have passed on the details, so I’m sure it’s okay… it has to be.

I swallowed my saliva and as soon as I took one step ahead -Ria and Rose pinched my clothes at the same time.

「N-No, Allen! No matter how you look at him, that person seems dangerous!」

「We shouldn’t get involved… that is definitely the face of someone who has killed several people.」

「No, but… that person seems to be the only receptionist…」

First and foremost, the『Magic Swordsman Association』is one of the public institutions.

The receptionist is personnel from the government, so they should be decent… I sincerely hope they are.

(It should be fine… right?)

I’m pretty anxious, but we can’t afford to stand still here.

「…Let’s go」

「A-Allen…!?」

「…Understood, I’ve prepared myself」

Then, when we three stood in front of the reception with determined resolution,

「…Aa?」

He politely folded the newspaper he was reading and quietly stood up.

(H-Huge…!)

(Looks like a bear…!)

(…Scary)

His height was about 2 meters… maybe about the same size as Paula-san.

(In terms of simple size, Paula-san whose width is broader wins… but)

This person was overly intimidating in appearance and body.

There was a different kind of scariness compared to her.

Still – I mustered my courage and spoke.

「U-Ummー」

「-Oi, sonny. I saw what you did… you’re incredible for a guy so young.」

Saying that, he distorted his face.

He was probably laughing, but honestly… it’s insanely scary.

「T-Thanks…」

I don’t know what I’m being praised for, but I thanked him for the time being.
