Chapter 57 – The smell of the disciple is beastly
”Ehe is… That 'Uncle Dida' is Jephthah-san's uncle, who—despite being a young weaponcouidance A troublesome KY man who Jephthah-san can't stop either, ehem”
”Jirou-san, lower your voice a little Uncle has really sharp ears And what's with that way of talking?”
”There's no way his thoughts aren't shady It wouldn't be odd if he was thinking so I should go play with a High Elf', don't you think? You don't often see people with such an evil look in their eyes and gait”
”That's a bit too h Elf, it would turn into a proble, I'm worried about Jirou-san”
”How rude… We have a very sincere relationshi+p, hmph”
I ignored the grinning Chubby who reappeared and secretively consulted Jephthah
Apparently, that Chubby was the real uncle of Jephthah (and Hetty-san) and the coest weapons merchant in the e' spirit stones, when his real age was 54 (and apparently had 6 children)… quite the bourgeois
”If you think about it nor company would come all this way to directly support someone without an ulterior motive Is it really okay?”
”Actually… the Solo fao Apparently, my uncle heard that and stated 'Leave it to s up within a month'…”
Jephtha explained hesitatingly
It see too, as his opinion leaned more towards mine Well, he did call his up in a uidance was too? Diana said it was a secret, but I guess it wasn't very well kept
”So… I guess it has soet when Diana fulfils her guidance? Does that mean that person will benefit from the reward too…?”
He brushed off the question with a ”That's probably true,” but I was probably on the right track Don't tell h elf!
I believed the iteuidance was said to be some secret treasure of the elves called The Alchemy… It was a secret that I knew this, so I couldn't tell Jephthah or Chubby
After that we introduced ourselves to each other despite having met before, since we didn't know each other's nauidance, but thankfully the mansion was complete and the shop had started, so I didn't have to rely on his support for h to keep Diana and Marina easily
Chubby lightly said ”Well, feel free to ask ,” but I didn't like the way he looked at Diana so I wouldn't be getting close to him anytiht, but because of her family's contract with the Solo family, even Diana couldn't refuse, so my own opinion was completely shut out Well, I'd do my best to rely on him as little as possible, but… since I didn't know the details of Diana's guidance and Chubby did, he'dme involved anyway
It was such a depressing thought… My only countermeasure was to not let him into the mansion
Aah…
Just as I got the ball rolling on my business, it started to rain oninI never expected
”Oh, right I knoe just finished introducing ourselves, but I'm about to head to the fa while I'et it for you”
He left behind those words as he departed jauntily with his slaves
Eh…? Could it be that this person thought he would co? There was no way that the sightseeing was his true ht… Come to think of it, a few days had passed since I first saw hi back then too He also said the velvet was a souvenir for his wife…
Now I look like an idiot for worrying so much about him!
◇◆◆◆◇ Sneaky potato comment… hehehe
Also… have a nice day random person
As Chubby had left, I returned to uild introduce a disciple to uild
”Then please present your guild card”
I've always thought this, but the guild card was really technologically advanced co the card out ofa membershi+p card in a japanese store Well, it was a world where ic existed, after all You could only write it off as part of the fantasy
”Alright, Jirou Ayase-saht noe can introduce you to this person, this person… and this one”
The receptionist said as they took out three sheets of parchment It seemed like all the necessary information ritten on that, and you could decide the kid you wanted based on them You could even hold an interview
”What do you think, Rebecca-san? I can't read the writing, could you tell me what's written on here?”
”Yeah, sure Erirl with the 'merchant' vocation This one's a 14-year-old boy with another 'irl with—”
”H?”
”With… a ' one”
Huh, what an intellectual vocation
I was interested, but it would probably be safer to choose a child with a 'merchant' vocation But a mathematician probably meant she was smart, and usually smart people could do whatever you asked of the to consider Besides, I was probably the most qualified to develop the talent of aas a high school graduate myself, I could at least buy books full of maths problems I didn't kno far the maths in this world had developed, but it shouldn't be as advanced as Earth If I was to take on a disciple, I had to raise them properly
…Well, I had no idea if being a successfulin this fantasy world
”Theelse?”
”Eh? Did the irl… you'll have to meet thened up, so they ood, you know? And… Jirou probably doesn't care, but this girl has written that she's a 'Canaan' Ah, but her father is a military police”
”Erm, what's a Canaan?”
”Ah, Jirou doesn't know The Canaan tribe”
Another new tribe! But I wondered if there was a problem Were they another discriminated tribe like the Turks?
”Err, Canaan are relatively common around here, but many of the falars and thieves Since they tend to be nimble and clever… Of course, that's only one part of the Canaan tribe, but because of that people usually avoid them And they also look like cats”
”Please give more details about that last part”
”Eh? They're werecats, so they have the appearance of cats So it's not like they're discri with them”
”Then I'll go with that girl”
”Eh? Eeeh?”
If she's already been waiting a year for a ets her apprenticeshi+p, and I can pat her cat ears and tail all I want Win-win In the first place, I didn't really care tooas they could work decently
”W-Wait Jirou, are you sure you want to decide so easily?”
