694 692 Betting with Diaz (2/2)

Or has Demitris arrived in Urmut? When Demitris arrived, he asked me to introduce him.

He seems to be a pretty difficult opponent, but with an introduction from the Alliance Master, he'll hear about it. Maybe.

But talking about Diaz wasn't either of those things.

”It's about Zero Thread, we need to talk”

”... ok”

Before Diaz, who looks serious, Fran also squeezes his expression. Well, what's the story?

From the expressionless look on Diaz's face, it cannot be read in that mind.

”... Fran, in your story the other day, said you saved Zero Thread's life. Is that what you said?

”Mmm.”

What Diaz is saying would be when he was grounded by Zero Thread. Instead of depositing your life with Fran, I want you to take Romeo to an orphanage in Barbora if you die. It is such a promise.

Honestly, you can tell me you've already got no yew. Promise. Zero Thread does not die and is hidden in the School of Magic with Romeo.

Nor should Fran be asking Zero Thread to do anything with that promise now as a shield. But it is certain that the promise was exchanged between Fran and Zero Thread.

I am also certain that when I explained to Diaz how Fran missed the zero lead, I told him about that promise. Fran himself may not realize how he feels, but don't imitate extra because Zero Thread's life is in his custody. I think Diaz had only a few thoughts about it.

And the thought was certainly conveyed to Diaz. I guess Diaz mentioned this because it was passed on.

”Let's make a bet with me. Fran, if you win, I'll give up revenge already. I can't erase my grudges, but I'll take this thought to the graveyard. I will never have a hand in Zero Thread. [M] Instead, if I win, you tell me where Zero Thread is. What do you say?”

Diaz's face is laughing, but it seemed like a painful look to me. I don't even know why I felt that way myself...

”... what's the bet about?

”How about me and Fran winning the next martial arts tournament is a better bet winner?

”Is Diaz going out?

”Nothing, there's no such thing as a rule that Alliance Masters shouldn't compete.”

”But you don't know if Diaz and Fran will ever fight, do you?

Or is guild master authority as accommodating as that? I thought so, but it was different.

”The order of appearance is random from the main contestants, so there's nothing I can do about it. So, if one of you loses along the way and the match itself doesn't materialize, the bet's on you, okay?

”Are you sure?

”Oh, then, let's give up, thinking that's destiny”

It's a convenient bet for a long time. Is that all you're sure about? Or the premise of losing? I don't know.

If Diaz is serious about looking, it's actually not hard to find a zero lead. Look for the Adventurer Alliance records and you'll soon find out where Fran has traveled.

Without doing that, don't bother betting...

'What if I don't take that bet?

”I'll look for Zero Thread on my own.”

…… Okay. I'll take that bet. ”

”Fran, is that okay?

”Mm-hmm. And Diaz's feelings, I know. It's hard to have Moya Moya all the time”

The look on Fran's face that cares about Diaz somewhere. Diaz bowed his head deeply to Fran like that.

”Thank you. Thank you.”

Diaz's face smiling like that looked relieved somewhere.
