Chapter 18: The request from the guild master part 2
When I said “I have no interest in money” Doran stared at me with a surprised face.
“Please forgive me. I couldn’t think other ways of making you do it other than with money.”
When he said it was filled with reverence and bowed his head down.
Haa, I sighed in astonishment.
“In the end money is just an utensil. It would be foolish to be swayed by such things.”
When I said that, the girls looked at me like they have noticed something.
“There is that way of thinking too…”
“Until I now haven’t thought like that. That money was nothing more than tools…”
“Despite Spirit Deity is not free from money. Masatsuga-san has transcended the spirits of humans.”
“What, it’s no big deal.”
At my words the girls were contemplating with a serious expression on their faces. It might be a novel-like speech. I do not want to influence the girls more than I should.
While I was thinking that Doran opened his mouth.
“I’m extremely sorry for earlier. Please let us know about the pay as homework. Plus when you go to accept the request of slaying the Dragon you can take this mercenary behind me his name is Gotts and he can guide you. He is A-rank and is the sole survivor of the adventurer team which went to slay the Dragon. Naturally Masatsugu-sama should be accompanied by a S-rank adventurer but they were all wiped out and the closest one to S-rank is Gotts, please forgive us.”
Gotts who was introduced stepped forward with a triumphant expression.
He was looking down and licking over expression. Probably, he was overestimating his abilities the arrogance typical of A-rank adventurer.
I looked at him with pity and said
“He’s a burden. If we go together there will be no shortage of problems.”
I spoke of him as such.
“What did you say, you bastard!?”
At my words the guy named Gotts turned his face which was bright red and filled with anger.
Surely his self-build pride and arrogance have been smashed into pieces.
Haa, I sighed in amazement.
Seeing me do that Gotts got even more angrier.
I did not particularly mean to mock him. I was actually worried about his safety.
Because our abilities are just too different.
I don’t care if he is A-rank and close to S-rank but to me is equivalent to an ant.
I don’t think this guy can endure the fight between me and the dragon who is equal to a god.
Whatsoever, I strongly advised against it.
But, the good medicine tastes bitter.
I gave him the chance. But, apparently this guy Gotts stupidly threw the only chance away which was given by me.
It was his appropriate last days of a fool, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of helpless as I was naive.
“Gotts! Do you not understand the extent of his mercy!? That’s why no matter how long it passes you’ll never be a S-rank!”
Fumu, it seems the Guild master has understood my real intention to some extent.
“Shuuuuuuuuut up! I don’t approveeeeeeeeeeeee of it!”
It was such a grating yell which seemed as if he couldn’t hold it in anymore.
The big sword which was carried upon his back he unsheathe it despite being in view of the guild master.
I got a sense as he was going to assault me now.
Instead of being afraid I saw this scene ridiculous and foolish so I unintentionally laughed.
He grimaced yet more and looked at me as if the entire hatred in the world concentrated in him and began to strike me.
While being a bad opponent for him, I changed my face to serious and tried hard. It goes without saying that this was most important.
“Just dieee!”
He raised his sword as he was yelling.
But that point I was seeing it in slow motion.
I had leeway to think of how to retaliate.
To be frank he’s not much of an opponent. I feel like I would fall asleep of boredom.
“Sigh it cannot become entertainment either.”
I easily intersected with the sword and calmly gave my impressions.
But, he was frantically surveying the surroundings.
He completely lost vision of me.
As soon as he understood where I was, he rose quite a surprised voice.
:”Impossible, when did you. I couldn’t see it at all!?”
Haa, I shaked my head while sighing.
In that instant when I intersected with his sword I went around him and stayed behind him. Even if his eyes were of S-rank he still couldn’t catch the speed of an God which was no problem for me.
“What’s wrong? It’s a bit late to look out now?”
At my words Gotts was
“Shit, shit! It was a fluke. It was without a doubt a fluke.”
He was shouting that to himself.
“Just stop already. No matter what you do, you won’t beat me.”
Far from objecting, I’m more worried.
But it seems Gotts couldn’t accept the cruel reality. Wait, maybe he couldn’t believe it because the power difference between us was so apparent that he thought he was facing a god.
That must have been a tragedy induced by my overwhelming power.
“Damn it!”
He said that and yet again tried desperately to attack me while on the verge of crying.
But, all of this was displayed in slow motion to me.
