Chapter 106 - Episode Twenty-Seven

After splitting up with the Gordon brothers, I returned to the adventurer’s Support Center.

Mea and I were reclining against the back wall, watching the other adventurers.

They were all talking about the monster that was in the forest.

I don’t think it was that vicious of a demon, but well, are fears and rumors exaggerated?

There was even a rumor that all of them in the survey team had been killed.

I’m sure those guys were the ones who came to report, though.

I’m not sure if it’s because I scattered them around, about Gaston that defeated it apparently, I heard a little bit of talk about it.

Few people seemed to believe in it, though.

Just when I was thinking that Gaston should come around here, the door to the entrance was opened and three men came in.

“I said enough is enough! Didn’t listen to what I said! What’s the point, those dirty roots!”

“It’s time to shut the fuck up! I’m the one who’ll be scolded by brother Abel! You just need to get this redemption done!”

Gordon and Mordon dragged themselves in with Gaston.

Apparently, Gaston had been drinking alone and was unaware of the Evil Bound fiasco.

The moment Gaston appeared, every person in the facility looked back at Gaston and closed their mouths.

The clatter that had been going on just a moment ago has quieted down as if it were a lie.

It was a lie, of course, but………it was a look of expectation.

Gaston wondered at the strangeness in the facility, but he pulled at the bag of Evil Bound roots that Mordon was holding.

Then he glares at Gordon with a guileless stare, then turns forward and walks staggeringly and broadly to the reception desk.

“Well, let’s just get it over with. This is a one-time deal! Hey, you guys, back off! I don’t have a place for bugs! All of you wearing such a depressing face! It makes me so angry just looking at it!”

Gaston yells this to the people in line, perhaps to take it out on them in exasperation.

Sidestepping the line, Gaston is the usual Gaston.

The young adventurer, shouted at by Gaston, calls out to his companion beside him.

“Hey, that sack…… did you see that thing that looked like a tree root sticking out of it?”

“No-, no way……”

The whole place starts a commotion again.

“What the hell are you guys. Aren’t you going to move aside? Hmm?”

The young adventurer’s expression lit up as Gaston leaned in close.

“Come, come on, please! Go ahead!”

As the young adventurer sweeps, people follow and disappear from the line.

The people sweep cleanly left and right, as if they had shown each other.

Watching from behind, Gaston looked like Moses splitting the sea.

“Wha-, what? What is it?”

Gaston looked from side to side with a blatant look of confusion on his face and a frightened look.

He takes an eerie half step back when he realizes that everyone’s eyes are on him, but then he walks to the reception desk as if he had made up his mind.

Gaston placed the bag on the counter as if to throw it, then looked behind him again.

“Hey woman, get the assessment done quickly. It’s kind of creepy.”

“Wa, wa, wa, yes……”

The receptionist carefully opened the bag that Gaston had given her.

And when she saw the black roots that came out, she gulped and swallowed her spit.

“Wha-, what is this?”

“I don’t know! Read the report and find out!”

Gaston slammed the crumpled paper onto the counter.

It was an imaginary report written by Mea, in which Gaston snapped the Evil Bound with his bare hands, leaving the roots to be extinguished by frictional heat.

It would be tricky if they found what was left of the Evil Bound, so I decided to forcefully make the body disappear.

At the very least, I wanted to make him use a weapon, but since he was unarmed, it was no use.

The receptionist opened the paper in a great hurry.

Her hands were trembling with excitement and she couldn’t seem to open it well.

When she finally opens the paper, her eyes widen and she runs her eyes over the report.

“Wait a minute! Let me see that!”

Another staff member appears from the back of the facility and grabs the receptionist’s hand.

Following that, a familiar man appears.

He’s the captain of the lord’s survey party that was here to defeat Evil Bound.

A well-groomed beard and a peculiar trichrome eye…I think his name was Regino.

They must have been talking at the back of the facility.

A report spread out by the receptionist, the male staff member and Regino begin to peruse the text with their faces together.

“Unbelievable, but I’m sure … the thought waves, the black roots undulating from the ground, the power to create strong winds. These traits are definitely the monster that destroyed our squad.”

“What!? And that nuisance was killed by a single person, and with his bare hands too? That’s not possible! Gaston’s been smoked out at semi-D-class for a long time!”

The adventurers begin to well up when they see the exchange between the staff members.

“H-, hey, it really does feel like Gaston’s done it,”

“N-, no way. That bastard that always causes trouble?”

“No, I believe it. Brother Gaston could do it when he had to do.”

The noise is getting louder and louder.

As expected, Gaston seems to have begun to grasp the situation.

He stood there with his mouth hanging open, but when I thought he shook himself, his expression of annoyance disappeared and he slowly returned to his normal good-humored face.

“Wow………this guy is amazing.”

“A private army of noblemen escaped from it, right? And all by yourself?”

“We may be witnessing the beginning of a legend.”

Gaston seemed to be listening to the adventurers’ words with a sniffle, but when the receptionist called out to him, he quickly turned around.

“Um, Gaston-san. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting for so long as you have been floating around.”

“hm, hm, hmm! That’s about right.”

“As you may know, there’s a little bit of a complication in this matter…”

“I don’t know. There’s no end to what I can remember about the guy I beat!”

Gaston said with great pride, and oh, the surroundings well up again.

Gaston looked at them and smiled at them, the corners of his mouth grinning.

Gaston hasn’t even seen it, so that’s why he doesn’t know.

By the looks of it, it doesn’t look like he hasn’t even read through Mea’s report.

“Would you be willing to come to the special window now?”

“Mmm-hmm! I’m a busy man, but all right! Make it quick, okay.”

Amidst loud cheers, Gaston moved to the special window.

I, I’m glad I had a substitute.

I didn’t think it would turn out to be such a big deal.

If it were me, I would have collapsed under the strain.

…… But the way Gaston was acting, he’s going to be working hard for a while longer.
