56 Episode 56: The Different World Guild has the scent of reunion.txt (2/2)

'Why is he suddenly dismissed!

...... After that (...), I watched Master talking to Hetty, sneaking around in the shadows. It was after that that I spoke to Hetty and asked her what she and Master had talked about.

Deanna comes out with something scary in a straightforward manner.

Hetty asked, ”Are you sure?” which means she was keeping quiet.

'That's what happened. ....... So you two had never met then?

'That's what I mean. So I talked to Deanna for a bit, and - I'm afraid she's been poisoned.

Hetty nodded in agreement.

But it's not quite clear,” he says.

When you say ”trying to interfere,” you mean ...... trying to interfere with Deanna's guidance. Does that mean that you know what Deanna's guidance is?　Huh?　Am I the only one who doesn't know this?

He said that the content of the guidance was secret, but that's just what Efta and Deanna said. It's possible that it's actually well known.

'I know. I didn't know about it until I met with Deanna and talked to her.

'What?　No, it can't be. Your guidance is an absolute secret, I would never tell Hetty or anyone else!

It was Deanna who was upset by this.

From the look of this surprise, it seems it was really a secret. I don't know what kind of critical thing I was running on about that I was detected just by talking to him.

I'd like to know what the hell you're talking about.

I think I might have been exaggerating when I said I know ....... It's just a matter of 'I have an idea' to be precise. --because I've never missed this kind of hunch.

Hetty says siree.

Deanna said something like 'no way, no way' for a while, but then Hetty said 'well, it's just a guess' and she backed down.

'Then at first I came to Elishe because I didn't know what the guidance was, but I was going to interfere anyway, but then I found out what the guidance was and I reconsidered and decided to help out: ....... Is that what happened?

When I summarized it that way, Hetty affirmed that it was in the grand scheme of things, regardless of the details.

So, I guess that means it was Deanna's fault as a result.

'But I shudder to think that maybe Hetty-san would have been the enemy!

'I wouldn't go so far as to call them enemies. I was just trying to get rid of all the elements so that your guidance would fail.

Scary... Scary, Hetty...

I'm so scared... I mean, I was about to get eliminated.

Well, I thought I was too lazy to make a mistake that night, but I guess it was a good thing in the end. It's all right.

However, I'm curious about what Deanna's guidance was about, to have such a change of heart. Well, it seems that Deanna wants to keep it a secret, so I don't have to tell her.

'I certainly did. I didn't know that Hetty was the daughter of the Solo family, but I've heard so many stories about how much she hated her father. I wonder if there was something about him that struck a chord with her?　The kind of kid who would make a mercenary group just to get in his father's way would change his mind.

Rebecca seems to be concerned about that, too.

I wonder if Hetty's mercenary group was formed for that reason: ....... You're too dynamic .......

'It's not that I've changed my mind, Becky. It's just that Deanna and Giraud are the only ones who are willing to help. ...... because they're both too cute.

If it's cute ......, it's ....... Is that still ...... in a virile way?

Come to think of it, I was teased when we first met in the guild.

After Hetty-san said that, she turned to Efta and declared.

''--That's why Tar-kun is also that Mildus?　Was it?　That macho, you don't have to bring them back, I'll support these two.

Oh, that's encouraging. So you were actually about to get a macho. It's a relief, or should I say, it's a relief. If you're dealing with a strong macho character, you can't say too much of an egoistic thing, and it's probably possible that the mansion wasn't even maintained yet.

Efta sighs with his head in his hands at Hetty-san's declaration. Then he replied in a yare-yare-yare-like tone.

'But, sister. You said that you didn't spend any money from the house, but then what have you been doing?　As I recall, there was maintenance at Mr. Jiro's mansion.

I can handle that one on hand. I hope you don't underestimate me.

10,000 or 20,000 won't do for a handful of money. ...... What are you doing, sister? ......

It's okay. It's okay. I do it for fun. I'm a lousy spender.

'I know my sister's donburi account as much as I hate it. --Well, that's fine, too, because I'll make up for what it's costing me so far.

No, I don't want that.

I was shocked to hear that story.

I didn't know that I was paying for all that selfishness with my own money .......

I'm sure you're aware of the fact that you're not going to be able to get away with it. It's not just the maintenance of the mansion, but also the purchase of three horses for you to use as well.

'Master Jirou, please don't be afraid of me like that. This was my favorite thing to do. It's just a hobby, if you will.

Dōraku: ......

'Yes. A rich man's daughter's waywardness. Besides, it's no doubt the money the Solo family was paying out either way.

I feel like I'm being told off, but I don't know if it's okay.

Is it okay if he's okay with it?

The president of the black company says that when a superior buys a drink for you, the thing the person under you should do is not to be ashamed or refrain, but to be offered a drink comfortably, right?

Well, if you want, you can pay it back gradually. As long as business continues to go well, we'll be able to pay back the loan.

Rather than owe the Solo family a debt, it would have been better to owe Hetty personally.

It turned out alright!　I've seen so many of them.

Am I dancing in the palm of Hetty's hand?

”Sister Henrietta.

What?　Mr. Ta.

'Please don't, Mr. Tar. ...... Your sister said she would continue to support Deanna's guidance, but I'm afraid - things have changed.

What's going on?

I was going to bring Mildus along as planned for support personnel, but there's a lot going on. ......, instead--uncle Dida.

Gee, really?　How did that happen? Do you think that man can provide his own guidance and support?　The General of the Barbacro Chamber of Commerce himself?

'That's what pushed me over the edge to leave it to me. ...... You should have gotten to Elishe before I did, and I'm meeting you here again today.

I had a bad feeling about it.

But hey, ....... The world seems small and wide, no matter how many coincidences are ...... like that.

Just then, the guild door opened and a familiar man walked in. It's a good idea to have a few cronies behind you.

''Ah, it looks like you're just here. Oh, sis, where are you going!''

Run!　Jiro-sama, that's it for today. I will visit the mansion again.

As soon as she sees the man, Hetty says a quick goodbye to me, ducks down and escapes through the back door.

'Huh, sister Henrietta didn't like your father either, but she also said a long time ago that Uncle Dida was 'physiologically unacceptable' to her: ......'

Efta explains to me as he looks off after Mr. Hetty, who has escaped.

I'm more aware of the fat young merchant who's grinning and coming towards me.

The scent of musk is strong. That's the third time I've smelled this: .......

'Well, well, well, well, well. Isn't this the Turk-loving merchant who sells cloth? Is that what it means to be with your boy?

...... reluctantly, it seems so.

A thicker man who keeps grinning and shakes his body to talk to me.

His mouth sounds surprised, but this guy is definitely not surprised at all. This deliberate face!

What happens twice happens three times. It was an encounter between me and the chubby.
