Chapter 109 (2/2)
”N-no, I , you know? And it's not like I have any say in our budget or anything”
”I agree that Rudel is also a problem, but several tens of tirounds and buildings areYou don't want to be seen as the same as some muscle heads who come under the ht?”
”S-sorry, and wait… I do treasure the tools I use for cleaning, and I'ent…”
Aleist's touching efforts, before the outrageous su around fell short of even chickens feed But it was better than doing nothing, Rudel nodded in honest admiration
”… no, Rudel? You really should repent”
Saas cautioned a nodding Rudel, but his stateht stood to his feet to glare at the civil officials It seemed Eunius had no intent to stop them this time as he left it be
”And who could these muscle heads be? I'm sure you'd be happy to tell us, beansprouts”
The knight who stood had a hand on his weapon The pub instantly regressed to its original tense state There were soht bother to the store
”What's this? Isn't it precisely because you're aware of it that you're so irritated? This must be a show of the caliber of your owner”
Luecke downed the contents of his glass, quietly placing it on the table When his eyes lass down, shattering it Both sides exchanged a glare, and naturally, their surroundings reacted as well But the officials were looking around, their eyes pleading for help
”You thy don't you call it quits? The expo's in two days”
Receiving those pleading eyes, Rudel remonstrated them But with a bit of drink in them, the two of them didn't seem to have their usual level-headedness
”Hah? Shut it Rudel He's the one who picked the fight Then it would be rude if I didn't take hi to lose, you sure are a strange one”
As Eunius stood and gripped his sword, Luecke gave a scornful laugh
”Fight? It see can be settled with violence like in our student days, then you really are unsalvageable idiots You're better off shoved in the dungeon No, it's your jobs that should be locked away This'll be a good laugh”
With Luecke's words as the trigger, Eunius' men picked up their weapons and kicked the table down As a high knight, Izumi stepped between them to mediate
”Give it a rest already Ia ruckus before the unveiling”
Just like in their student days, Eunius and Luecke of them stopped in their tracks on Izumi's arbitration, but they were the only ones who did
”Shut your n woman thinks she can stand before us!?”
”Wha!”
Eunius' follower thrust at Izuht who thrust at Izuht there had been a bit of distance between the the distance in an instant to punch and knock that knight out
”… You've got soht so badly, then I'll be your opponent Everyone let's take this outside”
Rudel sent a glance to both Luecke and Eunius, and picking up on so, the two of them smiled a bit
But seeing his serious eyes, the follower knights directed a glance to Eunius They were hesitant to pick a fight with a dragoon
… But
”It's too late to go weak at the knees But this ain't bad… it's been a while since I've gone on a raht, so it's only natural, right?”
Eunius gave the order to his followers He wouldn't let them run away
”Hmm, for such a meritocratic bunch, it doesn't sound bad at all for a civil official to shut theo outside And e're up against those guys, don't expectpart, you have to fend for yourselves”
Saying they could take part if they wanted to Luecke rolled his shoulders to show his will to fight Within all that, Aleist of the defenders was the only one who tried to stop those three
”What are you thinking!? Do you understand we're in an i like a student, let's calm down a bit!”
While he had stood to stop the three of them, Rudel and Eunius silently placed their hands on Aleist's shoulders to lead hi, Aleist's expression showed he had no idea what they were angry about
”Eh? W-what? What is this?”
To Aleist's confusion, an empty-handed Luecke tossed some unreasonable words
”No you see… I was a bit jealous, seeing you surrounded by woer”
”What's with that!? When I' me off is way too unfair!”
”It really us unfair I know that And since I know that, I'll just say it You're participating whether you like it or not”
As Luecke explained so to Aleist, the four of thehts and civil officials left the store as well
Seeing Rudel off, Luxheidy finished the relass
”H-hey! You're going to leave them!?”
The sharp-eyed, often sarcastic Saas seemed worried for Rudel Enora looked like she would bound off at any moment, but perhaps she wanted to ask Izu
Luxheidt se A little while later, the owner of the shop frantically raced over to Luxheidt
”W-was there any problem on our part?”
While they were the ones who caused the probleoons, the heroes of the country, so he gave an apology
”No, no, that should be our line We really are sort Send the repair fees and trouble fees around to a mister Rudel arses Ah, also, we'll also foot the bill for the other tables… everyone went outside, after all”
Right, the woive chase to Aleist They would likely return later, but that would be trouble for the shop Those edit was Rudel's responsibility for causing a problem this time, Luxheidt pushed the payment onto Rudel
”… That's a big help”
As the owner said his thanks, Luxheidt handed over a si it, the owner left at once
”How's that going to work out for you?”
”The payment? It'll be fine, I plan to sell hio watch the fight”
Urging on a worried Saas, Luxheidt dragged a nervous Enora out of the store So love really can change a person, he thought as he looked at her
