Chapter 223: Wolfpack Transfer Part 2
Equipnt that was giving off a samurai-like vibe, and there was also sothing really familiar in a way that person was talking to us…… Yeah, the na color was not right as well. So I look at that player with a rather confused look on my face.
No good, there really is no way for to actually rember a particular player just because of their stats and equipnt can change without much trouble. However, there was one more thing that made open my eyes in surprise. An elent that made rember who exactly that player was. And elent that normal human characters should not have.
「You finally noticed, huh? Fufu, talk about a little bit ridiculous conversation, huh?」
Conversation? What in the actual hell is this person even about? I don’t get it. I don’t get it in the slightest. However, conversation? I feel like I have seen that word sowhere, or at the very least the kanji that compose that word. But when? And where?
「Truth to be told my aptitude for magic has diminished greatly, however the increase in physical stats is just so good that it makes it all worth the trouble. If I knew about that before, I would have beco a Beastman much sooner.」
「Hmm…… So, is that the reason why you cannot change you class simply by going into the avatar customization?」
「That kind of thing does not really suit her, but if you were to tell her this you’d be cut on the spot…… At least that’s the feeling I’m getting.」
Looking at a pair of fluffy Japanese-styled animal ears and the way they move, I can certainly agree that I’m getting the sa kind of impression. Also, when the girl was glancing at Pencilgton she was writhing in place like a vampire kicked out right into the sunlight.
I’d say that she must be an acquaintance of Pencilgton, or at least soone like that. Normally I would ask her to introduce herself, but since apparently this was not our first eting, it would be extrely rude. Also, regarding the na, it was displayed right above her head. However, I was having a hard ti believing what my eyes were seeing.
「Kyogoku?」
「Haven’t I already told you this before? It’s not “Kyogoku”! It’s Kyo Ultimate! Be sure to rember that!」
「That’s too long. How about a shorter one? Kyo Timate? So, Kyo Timate-san, are you here today just to be rubbernecker or what?」
「K-Kyo Timate!?」
While wearing a rather complicated expression on her face, the gaze of the animal-eared swordswoman turn sowhere else. It was as if sothing else have caught her attention. She looked towards a corner from where a terrifying aura could be felt.
「………」
「………」
It surely must have been about the na “Saiga”. Since it is not hard to put together that “Saiga-0” and “Saiga-100” must be related to one another in so way. For now, the two just continue to glare at one another in silence.
It could tell right away: there would be no peace between the two. Rather, the only thing that we could hop would be felt between those two won, would be hostility. Ice-cold one at that.
「Uwah, why do I get the feeling that I want to have absolutely nothing to do with this?」
「It’s a nice and refreshing thing to say coming from you, but are you sure you’re allowed to say that? Even though you’re the main reason for this situation to occur?」
「Excuse ?」
Why would my na be brought up in this context all of a sudden?
「Well, I an, you are the reason why the top most powerful Guilds missed their chance of glory after defeating a Unique Monster. And it happened not once, but twice at that! And when the sa na pops up during the subjugation announcent for both Unique Monsters…… Do you really think that people wouldn’t get mad? Or that they would not be able to add the facts together?」
「Eeehhh……」
However, listening to Kyogoku’s words, I am able to understand a thing or two. Mainly the fact that she’s a walking stereotype. The one where a new character is being introduced in the middle of the story and is inherently distrustful and antagonistic towards the main character. It’s a really common trope, so it’s not her fault, there is nothing she could have done about it.
We all know what I’m talking about here. I’m talking about a character that appears at the very end of the boss battle with the previous enemy. The sa enemy that was giving the protagonists so much trouble. That new character defeats the boss with ease and has the audacity to ask: soone as weak as that was giving you trouble?” A cheeky line like that.
And since you do not know anything about that new character at all, the only way for you to make an opinion about them is through the first impressions.
In other words, what Kyogoku ans by that is that the guild “Black Wolves” and all the others think about as soone who just happened to happily waltz onto the stage in the middle of their grand mont and steal the kill and all the benefits that co with it for myself just like that. A total jerk that hogs all Unique Monsters for himself.
「…… No, but I an, why Saiga-100 of all people? It’s not like we have ever t personally or nothing like that.」
「Hmm…… These two are supposed to be sisters in real life, right? So maybe it has sothing to do with real life as well?」
No, co on now! We’ve never even t in real life! So I see no reason for why Saiga-100 would want to co here to of all people and places.
Rust, Mold and Akitsu Akane seed to be genuinely worried about the two Saigas right about now, but Pencilgton of all people seed to be pretty much chill about it. Or maybe she was just pretending to be chill.
Whatever it was, Pencilgton just casually walked towards the two Saigas and broke in between them , separating them apart.
「Alright, alright now, kids. I don’t know what your deal is, but if it is a family dispute you want, then do it sowhere else. Preferably as far away from here as possible. Like, your Guild’s base.」
「…… Towa…… You bitch, is this also your doing?」
「It’s Arthur Pencilgton here, my dear “Saiga Momo”-chan. You’d do best to rember that, otherwise I’ll have to teach you a thing or two about net code.」
The way the two of them addressed one another sounded really dangerous, most probably because the two won must have known each other in real life. But it was good that Pencilgton stood up here, since maybe she’ll be able to take so heat off of my back.
「No, this ti around it was all Sanraku-kun’s doing. I only learned about this from the GM announcent, like everyone else.」
「Oi, are you trying to help ? Or get killed? Please make up your fucking mind!」
Saiga-100’s gaze turned towards one more. Oh great, looks like I won’t really be able to get myself out of this one, so how should I take of that business here?
Hey, Pencilgton, whatever should I do to get out of this? There is no way that she’s going to leave on her own, and running away is out of the question. In that case, just how much info I can disclose here?
Does that an…… I’ll have to share so of the information contained within the World’s Truth Book? No, that wouldn’t be good…… The information contained within those files are worth more than the info that I managed to defeat a Unique Monster.
I may not be as clever as Pencilgton, but even I understand that the World’s Truth Book are the most precious information they are there.
「Ah…… For starter, please allow to apologize for borrowing Rei-san for seven days straight. I really could not have done it without her help.」
Ti to use the trump card of the Japanese people: sincere apology!
「It’s good that you understand, even if the flattery will get you nowhere. But let ask you one thing straight…… Is it true that you’ve managed to unlock a Unique Quest related to “Nightprowler Luukan”?」
With the corner of my eyes I could see Rei bowing her head down frantically. So it was Rei that spilled the beans, huh? …… Oh well , the mont I undertook that quest with soone else than my closest friends, I kind of made my piece with the fact that it would be a secret that I would be unable to keep to myself.
「It was a really stupid boss. Took us whole night to beat it.」
「Whole night? We were unable to hold out for even a few minutes.」
Well, this is bad.
Self-deprecation is sothing one is able to do in two distinct cases: either you are able to do sothing with ease, or you are unable to do it at all.
If I don’t play this right, I might invoke the wrath of this person. Sothing to calm her down…… Sothing to calm her down……
「SF-Zoo managed to figure out the exact way that makes Luukan spawn for sure.」
「Hoo, well that is certainly an interesting news.」
Throw her a bone, but she does not know that this bone is actually nothing but a decoy.
「…… Well, you see, I do not mind giving you the exact information on how to beat it…… But I’d have to get the permission of my boss, the Guild Master of “Wolfgang”! That gal over there!」
And I hit the killer pass with a baseball bat! Now, how are you going to handle this set of dynamite, huh?
However, soon it all went to sh*t. My brilliant pass of responsibility, Pencilgton’s cunning tactics, and Kyogoku’s smile. It was all wiped out by one sentence uttered by a single player.
「Before that, there is actually sothing that I would like to talk to you about, Ane-sa…… I an, Guild Master.」
「…… Alright, let’s hear it then.」
「I would like to leave the guild “Black Wolves”…… and beco a mber of your guild, the “Travelling Wolves”.
For so bizarre reason, Pencilgton started to violently hit after she heard those words. I wonder why?
