[So what if it’s me?]
[Please retreat from there first. I feel sorry for them for being stepped on by you.]
[Oh, oops.]
[It was legitimate self-defense. I merely fought back when they attacked me.]
[I see….so that’s what happened.]
[Are you listening?]
Roxy called out to me. I replied while pretending to be calm.
[Ah, of course I was listening. So, what is it?]
[So you didn’t listen at all!? Good grief…..I guess I have to put you in jail too for that.]
[Let me ask you again then. What is your name?]
[……Mukuro.]
[I see… that’s quite a strange name.]
[Well, I’ll overlook you this time. According to the staff, they deliberately find weak-looking warriors and extort them for money. In addition, the Holy Knights had been absent so they kept doing that for quite a while. What you did was quite raucous actually. Just don’t think that there is a part in this place that isn’t managed by the kingdom.]
[I’m glad to hear that. Then that’s it for me.]
[Whatever you do next time, please keep it low profile. Also, please replace your clothes as soon as you can. It’s… not pleasing for others’ eyes.]
『Aya〜, I thought I was going to be bald in no time. Because……Fufufufufufu! Fate, your acting……was so bad! You were too stiff. So stiff that I might mistake you for adamantite. Instead of Fate Graphite, why don’t you change your name to Fate Adamantite?』
[Shaddap.]
『Moreover, you were too rash. It’s really hard to watch. It makes this me irritated』
Bastard. This fellow Greed…He was having fun while I was scared shitless from the sudden encounter with Roxy. This guy is really……goddammit.
[Fine, just go on. I won’t buy you a new sheath.]
『How dare you say that! That has nothing to do with this. You know, I think watching you acting foolish in front of Roxy was the most enjoyable moment that it might become a great hobby! It’s too much fun. Isn’t it, Fate?』
[Why do you even ask me? And don’t make such a weird hobby.]
『Ah, Fate. Are you perhaps concerned about what Roxy had told you?』
[…………]
『Hit the nail on the head, huh』
『It’s black again at the end of the day. Buy something more flashy. Also, what about my sheath?』
[If it’s not enough, I will hunt again at noon.]
[Welcome, what are you looking for……]
When he saw me, his eyes looked as if he was staring a plate of fine dish, then he started to stare at my clothes.
What’s with this guy!?
[Customer….what kind of situations have you gone through? It’s like thrusting yourself in an ocean of fire… this is a first.]
[!?]
[Wait a minute.]
[How about this, can you please wear the equipment from my shop? I’ll sell them to you at half price…]
[Half price!?]
[That’s right. Half the price.]
When I asked why would he do such a thing, he looked frustrated and started to explain the reason.
