Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 88

Chapter 88
We gathered the balm bird in one place and pull the magic stone off the modified balm bird .
Then I think again .
How in the world am I going to bring back this large number of balm birds?
As I was pondering, two men’s voices came from deep within the forest .
“Hey, big brother, it’s hopeless already…… The balm bird is on alert, and human feet can’t catch up with it……”
“Shut up, you idiot! They got away with it because you’re being lazy, to begin with! If we don’t catch that damn bird and collect the gold, we’ll be in the red! I won’t let them get away with this . Never . ”
He has a rough tone and doesn’t sound very gracious .
I knew it was coming .
The sound of a balm bird attracted me, something other than a balm bird .
It’s an adventurer who targets the balm birds .
As for me, I didn’t want to come into contact with other adventurers in such a secluded place .
I don’t have a very good memory of the adventurers in this city .
First, I saw Gaston threatening the staff when I came to the Adventurer’s Support Center .
Next, the adventurers demonstrating at the ruins . Gaston blending in with them and shouting abuse .
The adventurers who look at you with suspicion when you hunt a mutant . Then Gaston, who came to cause trouble straightly .
I once saw an adventurer who was drunk and fighting in the daytime . One half was Gaston .
What the hell, if you think about it calmly, it’s all Gaston .
There’s no need to avoid them that hard .
Two adventurers emerge from deep in the forest .
A man carrying an axe and a man carrying a bow .
Both are in their late twenties or so .
The two men had similar facial features .
They must be brothers since I heard “big brother” earlier .
The axe-handling man was taller, while the bow-handling man had a round face and was slightly overweight .
When Mea looked at the two adventurers, she grabbed my sleeve as if she was anxious .
By the looks of things, I’d better talk to them .
“Wha-, what’s with this situation……”
The little fat man with the bow, probably the little brother, spilled that .
They’re both gutsy .
If they seem trustworthy, maybe I could ask them to help me carry the balm bird .
The older brother looked around at the berm bird on the ground and then at me .
“Hey, kid . I haven’t seen you around, are you new here? What is this balm bird? What happened?”
“Yes . I’m a recent adventurer who ran away from the countryside because I don’t want to follow my parent’s plans . My name is Abel and she’s Mea . ”
I explained and bowed my head .
For now, I’ll just have to leave it at the bottom .
He’s a senior . I might be able to hear something valuable, or he might be able to help me .
The older brother was still staring at me with suspicious eyes .
Ah, the explanation for the balm bird .
Let’s just fool around .
“The whole thing, Mea killed the balm bird with her bow . ”
I indicated Mea with my thumb and said smugly .
I didn’t tell a lie .
I attack it with magic, and in the end, Mea finished it off with her bow .
The only balm bird I killed directly was a modified balm bird, for example .
Mea tugs on my sleeve and looks up at me half crying .
“Mea is an expert with the bow, so…”
Mea shook her head tremendously . She was half crying .
It was getting a little fun .
“What? These kids have killed this many balm birds?”
“Brother, I don’t think it’s impossible . Neither of them is norcs, nor are they noirs . They don’t look like from around here . The women, maybe they’re hunters from a remote area where there are a lot of ferocious magical beasts . I’ve heard in the tavern that horned people have better senses . ”
“Haha, I see, I see . You’re the type that is only good at hunting down small fry . If you use it well, it’s worth a fortune . ”
The older brother laughed, with a twisted smile .
“What do you think of that white kid?”
“He’s got a wand, so he must be a sorcerer, but there isn’t a balm bird with magical trauma . And that kind of bean, he looks like a sculptor . Maybe they’re technical people by nature . He said he got into trouble with his parents and ran out, and he’s thin . I guess he doesn’t have much experience in hunting . ”
“Okay, okay, so he’s just useless . '”
The white kid, so they’re talking about me……
I can hear everything, dude .
However . He’s looking at it surprisingly well .
It’s a good thing I ripped the magic stone off the modified balm bird .
“I’m sorry I’m late to introduce myself . I’m Gordon . The fat one over here is Mordon . I’m a semi-D-class adventure and Maudon is an E-class adventurer . So we’re your seniors . ”
“The older brother…… Gordon cackles while clapping his hands . ”
Semi-D class, so the same class as Gaston . He’s pretty high up in the ranks of the adventurers in Lomarn’s city .
Gordon spreads his arms to the left and right and walks briskly up to me .
The tone was abrupt or strangely friendly . What a frivolous-looking man .
“I’m going to teach you one thing as a senior . You can’t understand it at first, but an adventurer has to have a quality . ”
What are you talking about?
“It’s not just the rank, man . Whether you have a role to play, or if it’s really something you can’t do without him, or if you’re just sneaking around on the edge . Money and lives are at stake, so it’s only natural . It’s quite common at newbie parties, the quality gap . I’m a nice guy, so I used to work with a lot of useless people . Now that I’ve come to terms with the reality of the situation, I ended up with Mordon . ”
“It couldn’t be helped because big brother got into a dispute with the allocation and went on a rampage and a bad rumor spread……”
Gordon tapped the back of Mordon’s head as he was about to say something .
But I could see what he was trying to say .
In short, he’s probably thinking of pulling Mea out of the picture .
Should I not have told an unnecessary lie? No . Either way, Gordon was here to negotiate .
Or rather, he was safe from a clean hit of Mea .
He glanced over to check Mea’s complexion .
Her face paled and she was staring at the ground .
Her grip on my sleeve has weakened, and now she can only pick at it with her fingers . The tip of it is also quivering .
“You know what I mean? Horned woman…… Mea if I remembered? Get rid of that white knucklehead and stick with me . When the comes, that weak kid won’t be bodyguard much when you’re in a pinch, you know . I’m a very gentlemanly man even if I look like this……”
Mea’s body staggered, so I managed to prop her up .
I didn’t have the strength to continue supporting her, so I gently made her lean against a nearby tree .
“Are you okay, Mea, hey!”
“Useless, cast aside…… useless……”
She repeated this with empty eyes, mumbling .
“Hey, get a grip! Hey!”
Really, the adventurers in this city are all not good .
So Gaston wasn’t the only one .
“What are you guys doing? Well, okay . Anyway, Horned Woman, you are to follow me……”
For now, I’ve to get rid of these guys first rather than follow up with Mea .
“As for the party, it’s our problem, so can you not interfere anymore? Both Mea and I are not dissatisfied with the current situation . Besides, look, Mea doesn’t seem to be feeling well either . ”
“Oh, come on, you’re not going to let that fool me! Hmm? You’ve got a look that you’ve been punched in the face, hahaha!”
Who does this guy think he is?
I’m really starting to get a little annoyed .
“No, um……”
“Oh, okay . You don’t have to tell me . I understand it all too well . I know you’re desperate, so I don’t need to argue with you . That’s why I’m going to test you, as the senior member of the team, to see if you’re up to the challenge as an adventurer . That should change both your mind and the woman’s . Ahhh…… It’s not a good idea to bully the weak, but oh well . It’s the role of the senior to take on the role of the hater, isn’t it?”
Gordon stabbed the axe into the ground and snapped his fingers .
“What, making your face so hard? You’re scared? Huh? Don’t worry, I’m not going to take your life . I may make you so battered that you’ll never be an adventurer again, but don’t you resent me . Such accidents happen all the time when you’re an adventurer . Don’t tell me you’re not prepared for that kind of shit, do you?”
Even for Gaston, why are they all so quarrelsome?
It can’t be helped, let’s just do it with all our might and get rid of them quickly .
