Estella closes in on Use. Her right hand is on the hilt of a knife and she's about to pull it out.
It's not a threat, of course. It's an insurance policy in case Use and the others try to use their power.
'Wait a minute!We have our own problems!
But the reaction of the Use was weak.
I thought that they would say that the conditions didn't match, or ask for something in return, or something like that. ......
'Don't tell me you went to investigate and got scared of the Hexenbiest Swarm?
'Don't be silly!We're professionals!We are professionals! We are the only men who can stand up to any powerful hexenbiest!
...... No, you're too scared of Bonacon to hunt, aren't you?
In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. The demolition of the outer wall has been halted.
If such a fearsome group of Hexenbiests were to invade the city, the 42nd district would be destroyed in an instant.
That's why I asked the hunting guild to eliminate the swarm of monsters, and I'm sure they accepted the request at least once. ......
I'm not sure what happened to you, then.You were so eager to take down Swarm.
'Then it won't be a problem. Let's see you face justice.'
'Wait!Just listen to me!
Distraught, Use hides behind his desk.
Estella grabs him by the shoulders and pulls him up. She sits Use down in a chair.
'So, you're going to tell me?
'That............ is, that.............'
'What the hell?
Use isn't exactly friendly to us,......, but that doesn't mean he's a man who's reluctant to contribute to the city. He values his pride and is not afraid to take on the occasional reckless hunt.
He is a man that Magda recognizes as a skilled hunter. Even though his character is a bit difficult, I don't think he's the kind of small guy who would damage the interests of the city just to annoy someone he doesn't like.
'Are you rebelling against us because you don't like us?
'No!Well, it's true that I hate ...... him to the core.
I don't like him at all,' he says, pointing at me. ...... I could turn him into a frog.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the 42nd district is thriving.We've lived in this city for a long time, and we're attached to it!If the city gates can be made more accessible to us hunting guilds, there's no reason to begrudge our cooperation!
'Then why?
'............'
He has no intention of refusing to contribute to the city, but he can't help.
And the cause is unspoken: ......
'...... erotic things?'
'Hey, somebody!Get that a**h*le out of here!I can't take this shit seriously!
What the f*ck is wrong with you?I'll turn you into a frog.
'Use ............, you're too old to be thinking about erotic things all the time.
'You've been poisoned by that man too much!
'Excuse me!Who is it that's infected with Yashiro?
'Hey, hey, you're the one with the most disrespect, Estella.
However, there's a lot of things I can't figure out.
We can't move forward unless this guy talks, but we can't just leave it at that.
You can't restart the construction of the city gates unless you get rid of the swarm of monsters.
...... At this rate, 'Hey, Oumalo. You're not busy right now, are you?You can help me out a little bit,'" he said, forcing Umaro to do all sorts of work. ...... Like Luxury's special kitchen, ......
I understand that you have something difficult to say. But that doesn't mean you can't say, 'Oh, well, that's just the way it is. You know you can't just go home and say, 'Hey, you stink of sweat,' right?
I'm not sure what to say............. I'm starting to get a little worried!
I'm not sure what to make of it.
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
'I don't care about the smell of your sweat right now!
''You're the one who started it!
Use slams his desk and stands up.
He's just leaning forward, so I stick my index finger in front of his face as he approaches.
'Answer the questions I'm about to ask you.
'What's ......?'
'Just go through what you can't answer. Well, what the hell. I'll make it an easy question for you to answer, and you can answer it with either 'yes', 'no', or 'no, s*x'.'
'You're a real idiot, aren't you?
'Yes, louse. Did you just realize that?
Hmm?I just realized it's one against two, isn't it, this composition?Are they enemies?
Whatever. The stubborn 'I'm not going to say a word' vibe that Usae had plastered all over his face until just now is fading. Shouting out like an idiot will make him talk less.
If you make the air heavy with accusations, the other party will not open their mouth, but if you do the opposite, their reaction will be the exact opposite.
This will make it easier for Use to answer my questions.
Now then, let's go to question one.
'Use. What are your three sizes?'
' 'No, s*x.'
'Are you nuts, guys?
Oh, now it's two against one?...... Yeah, don't bother.
'Take it seriously!
'Come on, Ugse.
'Don't tell me!It's your call!
'So, you're going to answer my questions?'
'U............'
Use's expression clouded at my words.
It's too late to regret the words I said in the flow of the conversation.
Besides, even if you don't have to go through the troublesome procedure of getting a word in edgewise ......, a simple guy like him can easily figure out what you're thinking and what you're hiding just by laying out the words you say.
'First of all, the fundamental question is: ...... do you like the 42nd district?
'...... Well, to a certain extent.'
Estella begins to grimace at Use's answer.
...... Really, why doesn't everyone realize who this guy is?It's so easy to understand.
'So you're saying that you won't do anything to hinder the development of the forty-two districts unless you have a good reason?
'If the forty-two districts develop, it will be easier to buy good liquor.
'But I can't help you this time.
'............'
Silence.
That is to say, there was a 'considerable reason' that compelled you to do so.
'Is it because of a personal grudge?
'No. I don't really have any feelings for you guys right now.
'Do you like me?
'No'!
'............ Which do you like better, big tits or small tits?'
'Definitely big tits.'
'Did I really need to ask that question right now?
It's annoying.
Even if the person you're talking to is an ooze, you're going to have to deal with the same amount of heartbreak as I did when someone told me face to face that they hated me.
'I'm willing, but I can't do it, is that right?
'............'
'Are you sure you want to keep losing to Magda?
'It's not that I lost!It's just that he's been working a little harder lately. ...... I'm going to get a big one soon!
'I think this is the perfect time to do it, don't you?
'............'
Hmm, that's a tough one.
Well, let's do something a little sneaky.
'If we 'escape' now, I don't think we'll get another chance.
'Don't you dare run away!We were ready to do it too!But the top is ............!
After he said this, Usae's face became agog.
He was clearly upset and regretted his mistake.
I see. ...... 'up'.
'Yes, yes. Estella.'
'I see. ......'
'Oh, no, ...... well, you know, ............ uh, uh, up, you know, there's a lot of things, right?It may not be as high up as you think, you know?See?Ha, ha, ha, ha, ......'
You've got a hard excuse. ......
'On top of your underwear - in other words, you can't go hunting because you don't have a bra that fits!That means you have no bra on right now!
'No, s*x.'
'You don't have to do anything stupid!
Estella blames us.
Do you have the right to do that?
''Even Estella is always saying, 'I don't want to go on the top of a kappa kappa'!
'I'm not saying that!It's because she thinks she'll lose if she says it!
'...... You guys, if you're going to play, can you please go home?
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.
So let's get to the point.
'I think this is a branch, right?
'............'
A deep crease appeared between Use's eyebrows.
His face says yes.
'And, I believe, the headquarters is in the 41st district. ......'
'............'
The furrow between Use's eyes says. 'Jesus.
'They've done something to you, haven't they?
'............!'
Use turns his head away as if he can't stand it.
He is biting his lip.
The expression on his face is 'yes ......', or from this angle it looks like he's trembling with shame ......, possibly even 'no, s*x'.... ...
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
'No, I wasn't!You're an idiot, aren't you?
'Yes, you are. Did you just realize it now?
'Ah!That's enough!All right, all right!I'll tell you everything!Hey, you guys, close the door and watch the outside!
'''Hey!'''
As if some part of him had slipped, Uzse shouted out loudly, leaning back against the back of his chair and turning his body upside down. ...... No, I've never seen a yakuza boss with a good attitude.
You will find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.
When the door is closed, the room becomes strangely oppressive.
'...... You're right.
After the door is closed and a few moments later, Use mutters in a low voice.
'......You can't ............ do something so obscene.'
'No!You should take out your brain once and wash it in the riverbed!
'If you do that, everyone downstream will turn into miso soup!
'No way!
Use kicked the office desk and bellowed.
He's so scary!
He still has a scary face. If I didn't know him, I wouldn't even give him a second thought.
I don't know if he's a smart guy or a stupid guy.I really don't understand.'
Use asks Estella with a puzzled expression.
You idiot. You should praise her face before asking if she's smart or not.
'So, in short, the headquarters has asked us to wait for the defeat of the hexenbiest Swarm.
'Oh, ...... that's right.'
'What's the reason?'
'............ I wasn't told.'
'......Really?
'I've told you this much. There's no need to hide anything now!
The completely resigned Use glared at Estella, who persistently questioned him.
I'm sure he found some truth in her eyes, and Estella shrugged her shoulders with a troubled look.
'What do you think, Yashiro?
'If I had to guess, I'd say .......'
In the event that you've got a lot more than one, you'll be able to get a lot more.
If not,......,............
It's a great way to get the most out of your business.
In short, there's a lot of money to be made, so let me get in on it. ......
It's true that if you think of the branch as being dispatched to defeat hexenbiests in the 42nd district, then defeating hexenbiests outside the outer wall is outside its jurisdiction.
If this is the case, there is a possibility that the headquarters will say, 'Don't decide the formation on your own.
If this is the case, please see ......
'Are you asking me to pay a referral fee?
'I don't know.'
Use spits out brusquely.
He might be angry at the unreasonable order from the headquarters.
'You guys really wanted to take down the hexenbiest Swarm, didn't you?'
'............ ah.'
'And yet, all of a sudden, we got a wait from headquarters.'
'......Yes, that's right.'
'And they didn't give us a detailed reason.'
'Oh.'
'In addition, they even put pressure on me. ......'
You've got to be kidding me. If you disobey me, you'll be expelled from the guild!
'...... Ah. That's terrible.
Use doesn't notice.
I've given away information I didn't get.
Pressure from headquarters?
There's no legitimate reason to interfere with a hexenbiest's attempt to take down a swarm.
The only thing I can think of is honor or money. ......
It can't be the hexenbiests that the hunting guild summoned to destroy the forty-two districts. ......
'If the city gates are built, it will be much easier for us to work. I'd help if I could!But if we do, we'll be unemployed by the time the city gates come up. Even if we have easy access to the gates, it's useless if we don't get permission to hunt. ............ d*mn it!What do you have against us, the people at headquarters?
It seems that Use is not convinced.
So if we can convince the higher-ups, we'll be able to take down the hexenbiest Swarm.
Oh dear. I never thought I'd have to kill a human before a hexenbiest.
'Estella. Can you contact the guild leader of the hunting guild?'
'I don't have any connections. ...... Well, it's not impossible, but ......'
You look incredibly ï½ï½ï½ï½ï½ï½ï½ï½ uncomfortable.
He seems to have a breakthrough he doesn't want to take.
If there is a way out, I'll force him to take it.
'Didn't I tell you before that the guild that runs the whole district has a certain amount of power?
'I heard that when I was in the Lumberjack Guild.
Unlike the guilds that are contained within a ward, the guilds that operate across all wards have obtained the approval of the lords of all wards to establish their guilds.
Therefore, no single district can forcefully interfere with the guild.
To do so would lead to a war between the districts.
'The hunting guild is such a guild that spans all the wards and has a lot of power...... well, you can call it the right to speak, but ...... that kind of guild is pretty strong.
The meat is eaten by the whole district.
In addition, the meat of Hexenbiests is of high quality, so that most of the familiar Japanese meats such as beef, pork and chicken have lost their market share to Hexenbiest meat. The loss of Hexenbiest meat would be a major blow to people's diets.
The lords of all districts would not want to go against the hunting guilds too much.
'So, what do you think is the deciding factor for a guild with such a strong voice to decide where to base itself?
'The city gates?'
That's what the Lumberjack Guild did.
They put down roots in the forty wards because of the city gate they use frequently. This was despite the fact that the district was lower than its original rank.
'The hunting guild is in District Forty-One for a similar reason.
That's the city gate I passed when I went hunting with Magda. It's true, once you go out that gate, the forest where the monsters live is just around the corner.
'......, the lord doesn't want to let go of a guild that has such a strong voice, so he'll make a lot of accommodations, normally speaking.
'Just being there is profitable.
In the 40th district, thanks to the Woodcutter's Guild, the Torbeck Engineering Company, luxury goods, and nobles and wealthy people who were lured by the Guild are gathering. And as these people gather, new industries are born and revitalized.
There are so many advantages.
'If that happens, the lord and the guild leader who has the power to speak will naturally get along well.
'Well, there's no harm in getting along with each other, you know.
In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
'............ haha'.
In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
Wow, that's a nasty look.
It's the kind of disgusting face I'd like to put in the dictionary as a reference image for the word 'disgusting face.
'So, if you talk to the lord of the forty-first district, he might be able to get you through to the head of the hunting guild.
'...... I understand. So you hate the Lord of District 41 like a scorpion.
The kind of man Estella hates so much. You don't even have to look at her to know what kind of person she is.
'Ahhhh, I've been trying to avoid having any contact with him, but ...... life is so unpredictable...'
I'm getting a little desperate.
Do you hate it that much?
Well, we're lords of neighboring districts. They must have had some trouble.
They say that negative emotions instilled in us from childhood don't dissipate in adulthood, but become more complicated and irreparable with time.
Well, it's possible.
But I'd rather have trouble in front of me than trouble in the past.
'Well, Estella. Can you make an appointment with the lord of the 41st district?
