Let's be an Adventurer! ~Defeating Dungeons with a Skill Board~

Chapter 127.3

127 Part 3

Haruki couldnt be frightened by an empty attempt to intimidate him that was nothing more than sound.

Yoshiokas face became even redder than before.

He didnt seem too amused by Harukis lack of response to his threats.

All of you adventurers are like that. The moment you get a little power, nothing will stop you from resorting to theft, robbery, injury, and intimidation, to get what you want. Youd soon resort to all sorts of violence. You only think about yourselves. Its always money, money with you! If theres no money involved, you wouldnt move a finger to save human lives or the future of a city. Once you get powerful enough, all of youd abandon Hakodate in a heartbeat!!

But unlike you scum, we are protecting this city! Even though nothing ever happens here, as soon money is involved, you lot gather here like a pack of hungry hyenas! We will never lend a hand to you bastards!!

Mr. Yoshioka, please calm down

Shut up, you scum!! The Self-Defense Force will take care of the unique-species of Dungeon Lord. This is our job! You meddling hyenas stay out of this!

But

I said SHUT UP!! Why do you think the Self-Defense Force cant do anything about this? Just how much better than us do you adventurers think you are?

Wait

We, the Self-Defense Force, have conquered the Mt. Hakodate Dungeon many times. There is no way we cant defeat this rare species monster!! Dont underestimate us, you scum!!

Yoshiokas head seemed as if it was about to explode.

Thats how furious he had become.

The reason for this was that his opponents were adventurers.

To him, adventurers were selfish people who cared for nothing more than money.

As soon as they gained enough power, they would abandon their hometowns and friends.

They were cruel and cold-hearted people.

As the number of workers decreased along with the population, it became impossible for major industries to continue fishing for squid, and business declined overnight. Adventurers simply throw away such Hakodate because it is not profitable.

There was a dungeon in Hakodate.

And people were living around it.

Under these circumstances, Yoshioka simply couldnt help but feel an intense hatred for adventurers, who had abandoned Hakodate in the past.

He wondered if they had any love for their hometown.

He asked himself if they didnt feel they had any obligations for their hometown at all.

These adventurers who abandoned their hometown wouldnt be able to see the people shedding tears because they could no longer fish for squid.

They wouldnt be able to see the companies going out of business because they couldnt get their hands on squid.

Wasnt an adventurers job to help people?

If that was the case, shouldnt they be helping the citizens of their hometown of Hakodate, who had fallen to despair, instead of those far away!?

Why risk their lives becoming adventurers when they could stay safe in their hometown and help protect the people there!?

After all, they only had eyes for money.

In order to make money easily and quickly, they would aim to become adventurers and abandon their homeland and friends for greener pastures.

Then, when something happened in Hakodate, they would waste no time storming the city.

They were like loan sharks, showing their ugly smiling faces only when its profitable for them.

Yoshioka didnt want any of those greedy adventurers to come anywhere near his homeland.

Kagemitsu was at a loss for words as he stared at Yoshioka breathing heavily and baring his fangs like a mad dog.

He wouldnt listen to anyone while he was like this.

However, the food situation in Hakodate had become tight due to the appearance of that unique-species monster.

Under such circumstances, it was way too strange to not accept help from outsiders, let alone even refusing to talk.

When they met the other day, they were still able to hold a conversation like two civilized people.

Kagemitsu couldnt understand why he was throwing such a tantrum now.

However, because of this, Kagemitsu could clearly see that it would be extremely difficult to carry out the request.

You coward! Why are you sneaking around! Show yourself!!

Yamaokas roars made Harukis shoulder tremble.

After all, he was the one Yamaoka was yelling at.

A little while ago, Yamaoka had called him a monster.

Moreover, he felt it was his fault that the negotiations had gone this badly.

If I hadnt come, maybe they would have been able to talk this out peacefully

His depression made his presence feel even fainter than ever.

So faint, in fact, that it had disappeared completely.

Yamaoka must have misinterpreted that as some sort of provocation.

But I didnt have the slightest intention to do that

Harukis eyes started to well up in tears.

I-Im not trying to hide.

Dont lie to me! You were trying to scare me, werent you!?

No, I would never

So why are your eyes shining like that!?

My eyes!?

Harukis back jumped in surprise.

It seemed that his energy was inadvertently poured into his mask because he was yelled at by Yoshioka.

The eyes of Harukis mask had started to emit a faint light.

Are you trying to make fun of me!?

N-No, not at all!

Flustered, Harukis control of his own energy was disturbed even further.

Immediately, the masks eyes began to flicker.

Many people in the room stared at Harukis mask and held their mouths while their faces went completely red.

Haruki could hear Karens Pff, pfft. She sounded as if she was about to die from it.

At that moment, someone in the room couldnt contain their urges and let out a teheehee.

That seemed to have been the last straw for several others, as they followed along with more pffts and teheehees of their own.
