Chapter 118 (2/2)
Frau is shaking with rage.
Kaede and Frau could enter the place, but not me. The owner forbade me to enter.
It seems that discrimination is very strong in this capital city.
People on the street looked at us coldly.
With this atmosphere, I have a feeling it's going to be hard to ask around.
Tap tap tap tap
There was someone moving from shadow to shadow, directing a strong gaze towards us.
I guess it's the surveillance imposed on us by the guards.
”Ugh!?”
”Wait.”
After a while of chasing us, the watchman ran into a narrow alley.
But Kaede had already surrounded him.
”Fuhe!?”
”I won't let you go.”
The person whose way is blocked was nervous because he is caught in the middle, and he starts to stagger to the point that I feel sorry to see him.
He's wearing armor, but it's obvious from his silhouette that he's actually a woman.
”I want you to do something for me, I want you to guide me somewhere and in return I'll pay you.”
”Hee.”
”I promise we won't try anything, tell me where we can go and we'll let you go.”
”I know you think the Master is a bad person, but he's just the opposite. He's someone very kind.”
Kaede persuaded the girl to help us.
The female guard sits up and raises her hands in a pose of surrender.
The female soldier's name is ”Jessica”.
She is a humble girl who has just enlisted in the army.
It seems that the soldier who was ordered to guard us was too much of a coward and forced her to do the job.
In any case, all I can say is that she has no talent for surveillance.
”I am trying my best to become a full-fledged soldier. But my superiors don't teach me anything, I'm forced to do grunt work and I don't know what I'm supposed to do on the field.”
”You're having a hard time, aren't you?”
”Yes, I am. I'm having a really hard time.”
Jessica was a beautiful woman, she had her hair tied up in a ponytail.
She seemed to have a low sense of discrimination towards humans, and it was fairly easy to get to know her.
The fact that she had just arrived from a small town in the countryside was probably an important factor.
”Yabai-San lives in that building. I should warn you that he is known for his eccentricities. You never know what he might do.”
”Really?”
So he's a weirdo... I like him already.
But I've been told that person knows a lot about dragons.
Since I've learned the truth, I can't stop here.
I knock on the front door.
”Yes, who is it?”
”!?”
The one who opened the door was a woman in a maid's uniform.
But I immediately had a strange feeling.
There was no sign of life in her.
It was as if he was looking at a doll in front of me.
”What can I do for you?”
”We are adventurers and we are on a mission. I would like to ask Yabai-San a few questions.”
”... Status confirmation Attention, camouflage is applied. Confirmation of genetic information, SS evaluation, administrator authority accepted. Welcome, Master Two.”
The maid ushers us into the building.
Wow, there's a lot of clutter and junk in here.
What's going on here? There's a maid here, but she hasn't cleaned up anything.
No, I was wrong, looking closely, everything is different.
At first glance, it seems to be in a chaotic state, but it looks like it's sorted properly by type.
”It's amazing, what is this place?”
”Kyui.”
”Oh, so the rumors about him being a weird guy are true.”
”Master, why did she call you Master Two?”
”I don't know, I'll ask Yabai-San when I see him.”
The maid led us down a narrow hallway with a big pile of knick knacks piled up, to a staircase going down
”Master, a customer has arrived.”
”Send him away, I'm busy.”
”But he's already here.”
”Who ordered you to let them in, you pompous maid!”
”I demand correction, I am a machine that functions perfectly in all its capacities. Perhaps the problem is in the Master's mind.”
”Shut up! I will dismantle you into silence.”
”Try if you can, but I know Master won't be able to do it, haha.”
The old man and the maid started fighting, so we decided to wait for them to finish.
