Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~

Chapter 105 - Episode Twenty-Six

In order to find Gaston, and to spread the word that if Gaston was not to be found, the ruckus in the forest was over, I and Mea headed to the Adventurer’s Support Station.

The Adventurer’s Support Center was noisy but not as lively as usual.

Everyone has a gloomy atmosphere and whispering conversations.

“I repeat the notice. From now on, the North Forest is hereby declared a Level B or higher danger! From now on, any intrusion into the North Woods by adventurers of less than Class B will be punished, in some cases! Be careful! See the board for more information!”

The staff are shouting loudly.

Apparently, the lord’s survey team took the situation seriously as they escaped and returned, and put restrictions on entering the northern forest.

There shouldn’t be a person that is B-class or more in this Lomarn city’s Adventurer’s Support Station.

At least I’ve never heard of it.

It is said that the lord of this place summons those who reach C class or higher and welcomes them as his private army, or if they fail to do so, a messenger of a nobleman from another land will come and conduct a light interview and preliminary examination, and then hire them as long as it is not a rare occurrence.

It’s a guaranteed immediate strength by the authority of the Adventurer’s Support Center. They’re probably meditating on some character difficulties.

In other words, this notice is practically a blockade of the North Forest for the users of the Adventurer’s Support Center.

The North Forest is the most affordable hunting ground.

If this notice is passed, more adventurers will have to take on unfamiliar hunting grounds in the future.

They could be seriously injured, and if they hit badly, they could even lose their lives from this.

Suddenly, I found a pair of men with their shoulders slumped in front of me.

Judging from what they were talking about, they seemed to be the ones who were using the north forest as their hunting ground.

“…… Maybe I’ll use this good opportunity to quit being an adventurer.”

“What are you gonna do now, though. I can’t do anything else, and I don’t have any help. If I had any such things, I wouldn’t be doing this kind of work that doesn’t pay off.”

“But……”

I tap the man on the shoulder.

The man looks at me and narrows his eyes quizzically.

“Huh, what is it, kid. Don’t touch my shoulder like we’re familiar with each other.”

The man didn’t even try to hide his irritation.

I take a sigh and then shout out to the entire Adventurer’s Support Center.

“Don’t worry! As a matter of fact, Gaston-san killed the monster that was nesting in the North Forest! The blockade should be lifted soon!”

“Wha-, Huh? Gaston? There’s no way!”

“No, no, it’s true! I just happened to be in the forest and saw it!”

As I said this, the noise around us diminished a bit.

Some of them seemed to be listening to me.

The other man, who was one half of the group, entered the conversation.

“Bu-, but didn’t that Gaston guy boast that he killed a bunch of balm birds? If that was true……”

“Don’t tell me that…… H-, hey you, that better not be a hoax. I’ve remembered your face, you know. If I find out later that you’re lying to me, you’ll not get away with it!”

As I was talking to the men, I saw the Gordon brothers at the back of the Adventurer’s Support Center.

They were looking at me to see what was going on.

I beckoned them over and called them over, then left the Adventurer’s Support Station.

As I stepped outside, the Gordon brothers came after me.

“H, hey, what’s going on? Don’t tell me brother Abel beat it?”

“Yeah, yeah. So, I want to give that to Gaston. Inside is a valuable part of the forest monster. It should be enough to prove our defeat.”

I point with my finger the bag Mea is holding.

Inside it contains Evil Bound’s root.

“Oh no, so easily…… Oh, yeah, but you know……”

Gordon turned his gaze to Mordon.

Mordon raised his eyebrows in annoyance.

“Is there a problem?”

“No, to tell you the truth…… it seems that selling his beloved sword has become really unbearable, and now he seems to be strolling around the local bar alone, out of sight. I called out to him because I saw him, but he told me to leave him alone.”

“What?”

Originally, I went out of my way to humor Gaston by putting it up on the wall, but isn’t it a bit early to snap?

Even now, I’m just saying that Gaston had defeated it, and that’s a bit of a problem.

Besides, if you keep changing people from one place to another, the chances of people thinking you are suspicious will increase.

I can’t let him run away without permission.

“So, if it’s okay with brother Abel, you can ask me or, if not, you can ask someone else to stand out in the open who looks like can be handled more easily……”

“Well, that’s a bit of a problem for me too…… and I’m gonna need Gaston to do it for me as fast as possible.”

“What?”

“No matter what, the staff will think it’s suspicious, and I don’t want to change things so easily. At least this once, we need Gaston to do it. Besides, Gaston was just beginning to show signs of becoming easier to deal with…… Originally, I had gone to the trouble of making this kind of a roundabout way to convince Gaston, and now he had to let go of his huge sword because of my own misdeed…… I didn’t want to do that……”

I’m sorry for the suggestion, but I can’t back down here.

I put heat on my words and desperately communicate that with my gestures.

“…… Bro-, brother Abel, you’re pretty scruffy.”

Gordon said to me with a slightly twitchy look on his face.

“So, will you manage to find Gaston and drag him out and let him redeem it?”

Gordon turned his head to Mordon again.

Mordon showed a bit of thought, then showed a small nod.

“We-, well, if brother Abel says so, then so be it, but……”

“Good, good. As a matter of fact, after all the times I’ve blown the whistle on Gaston doing it……”

“Oh, yeah.”

Gordon took the bag from Mea and he and Mordon ran towards downtown.

Those two are really nice guys.

The amount of money coming in this time will be a lot bigger than that, and I’ll put a little bit on the commission.
