Chapter 26 - Duchess vs. Marquis

Duchess vs. Marquis

“Yeah, 40 million gras …”

After listening to the story, Gangel opened his mouth.

It would be a shock.

It’s more than 20 times the amount he offered.

It should be a lifelong amount for a poor guild master.

After hearing the tremendous amount of money, Gangel seems to have stopped thinking.

With wrinkles between his eyebrows, he squeezed me with the force that seemed to blow from my head to the tide.

“Zelet! You’re being fooled! Do you think there’s someone out there who puts out 40 million gras on Leviathan?”

“Oh? Does that mean the Astowari family is fooling Zelet?”

“No. That’s that …”

This time Rafina approaches Gangel. Rafina didn’t make a clear expression, but on the contrary, the frosty part was more scary.

Until a while ago, Gangel was worried about me, but he has shrunk completely.

The inscription on the right side of this Uchibenkei Gilmas is “Wrap around a long one.”

The shield of status is more effective than the knife and magic.

If it’s a duke’s daughter, it will be effective.

And Gangel said, “I’ll drive away Leviathan.” I haven’t said a word about subduing.

Perhaps killing Leviathan is not permitted by the aristocrats behind it, even if requested by the client.

It’s obvious who one is cheating.

“Oh, you were in a place like this. What are you doing, Gangel?”

The scent of a strong perfume pierces my nose. Rir, lying under the umbrella, sneezes frequently and raises her face with a slight grudge.

One lady came into the corner of my field of vision.

Probably the new patron that Gangel was talking about, but she wore expensive clothes.

The summer dress, which was originally loosely sized, swelled into a bun and looked like aging ham.

“Marquis Henderone! Why are you here?”

Gangel calls out to the Marquis, who he called Henderone, as well as a boat on the way.

“I didn’t rely on you to leave it to me, so I came all the way. So? When can my ship set sail?”

“In a little bit more. Yes, please be patient for a while.”

He rubs his hands so much that I think that Gangel can wield fire as it is.

Henderone glanced at the creepy business smile and shook her head.

It seems that he was even more angry when he saw the hunters around him cheating.

“Hey, those guys who can’t be of use at all. Can’t they even get rid of one monster? It’s not enough to take it out on a ship and guide it offshore!”

“No, no … I’m sure it’s right! Immediately, a boat from a fisherman —“

“If so, you can do it on your ship. If you can do it.”

I chew on a rather long dessert called “luxury ripe mango and lychee & coconut sorbet parfait sparkling sorbet and cardamom scent”.

The mango was so sweet that it melted, and the shaved ice with a little wine was crispy and perfect for the hot summer.

“Who is this guy?”

Henderone frowns.

“This guy’s name is Zelet. a former S-class hunter.”

“Oh … I’m listening to rumors, S-class hunter. It seems that he only subjugates S-rank monsters.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“That’s … a monster is one life. S-rank monsters are smart, and they are all creatures that have lived long before humans. Such precious lives have been destroyed by human dwellings. I wonder how greedy and stupid they are to be worried. “

He’s annoying, who is this guy?

As far as I can tell, Henderone’s ship is in the harbor and cannot set sail thanks to Leviathan. So who was telling who to get rid of Leviathan quickly?

Listening to Henderone, I was stunned, let alone Olivia, Pamela, and Rafina.

The only one who didn’t care is Prim, who is building a sand castle on the beach.

“I haven’t seen you in a long time, Marquis Henderone.”

It was Rafina who interrupted.

While grabbing the hem of the pareo, greets her.

“I wondered who it was, aren’t you the daughter of the Duke of Astowari? I didn’t know because she was dressed unlike a lady.”

Henderone’s tongue doesn’t stop in front of the Duke’s daughter. When Rafina in a bathing suit cut her off, she hid her face with the fan.

From my point of view, I don’t think that Henderone, who looks like a boneless ham, looks better than Rafina in a swimsuit …

“I’m sorry for this. It may be an act that deviates from the lady, but I feel that this figure is the closest to the human birth or the original figure. I think it’s also greedy to deviate from the original human form, let alone force it. “

Rafina didn’t change her complexion and replied with a smile.

The other person may be familiar with her. She continued the conversation in a calm manner that didn’t seem like a teenager.

“Hmm. It looks great … The Duke was also educated quite differently.”

“It’s often said that him and your mother can’t beat you in a quarrel.”

“Okay, so what is the Duke’s daughter doing in a place like this?”

“To confirm the investment destination.”

“Investee? Oh. By the way, you were a patron of the cooking guild.Monster dish Was it? It’s sweeping the social world. How horrible it is to eat a life … “

“Oh? Cows and pigs are life.”

“There is no need to increase the variety of life, because cows and pigs alone can live well.”

“I may be able to live, but my heart will be poor.”

Just like you … Rafina looks at her in defiance.

Like Henderone, whose opponent is a duke’s daughter, Rafina is also a match against the Marquis, who is far older than herself and is a major figure in social circles.

“That’s greed, pu.”

“Oh, I’ll sort out whether animals look delicious or not. It’s also natural as a living thing. Isn’t it also human greed to control it?”

“You’re being a really cheeky girl”

“I take it as a compliment.”

A spark is scattered between the two.

After glaring at each other for a while, Henderone was the first to avert her eyes.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I won’t let you subdue Leviathan, let alone eat it.”

“Our purpose is not exactly Leviathan, so rest assured, the Marquis.”

And the Marquis and the Duchess turned their backs on each other.

Is the opening game a draw?

Even so, the fight of women is scary.

It seems much easier to subdue S-rank monsters than to extinguish two sparks.

“What’s that …!? It feels bad, it’s bad!”

Pamela, watching the battle between the two, sticks out her tongue.

Olivia looked anxiously at Rafina.

“Is it okay, Rafina-san. Maybe you’re in a bad position?”

“Don’t worry … It’s such a skirmish in social circles, it’s a daily occurrence.”

“But Rafina-sama has a higher title, right? Why can she do that?”

“Even if the title is higher, I am not the head. On the other hand, Mrs. Henderone is the head of the orthodox Marquis family. Moreover, she has a certain influence in social circles. From that point of view, she’s a big name. And I’m probably a little girl who doesn’t know the world. ”

Rafina analyzes calmly.

“But they’re more stubborn than you think. I can see how Zelet got out of the guild with disgust.”

“Apart from that … This is the first time I’ve met that patron, but I thought about it again.Retiring was the correct answer. “

“Then, you didn’t go crazy when I recommended that you change jobs. I can thank you more, Zelet.”

Pamela bowed a little proudly.

How about that? The current cooking guild is no different from the hunter guild in that it does not defeat S-rank monsters.

Certainly, I am surprised by the conditions and treatment, but for me, defeating S-rank monsters is the highest priority.

It’s only time to prove that Pamela’s recommendation was correct.

“I was more concerned than that, but it’s quite different.”

Olivia, who first questioned, looks toward the sea.

The sea today was calm and the waves were rushing at a constant rhythm.

A laid-back time that seemed to make me sick was flowing on the beach.

Thanks to the turmoil, we are the only swimmers, and only the hunters who have been summoned to the guild.

The hunters are also holding their breath and waiting for their prey.

“The sea is so calm that it’s hard to believe that Leviathan is active.”

“I was worried about that too.”

“Originally, it’s not the case when you’re playing in a place like this.”

Pamela hides the beach ball she had in her back, but it wasn’t long before.

“Maybe Leviathan was afraid of the hunters and ran away?”

“That’s not true. All the guys here are coarse fish. Leviathan can’t be afraid of these guys. Well, that’s not a mistake.”

“Maybe Zelet … I’m saying it’s because you’re here.”

Pamela turned her eyes to me relaxing in a beach chair.

“You’re half correct …”

“Eh? Half ? Then what is the correct answer?”

“It’s afraid of Rir.”

I reach out and stroke the fluffy hair.

Rir is a descendant of the beast. The aura is powerful, and especially when it comes to high-ranked monsters, they tend to be sensitive and vigilant.

So to speak, this situation is the tranquility of the invisible barrier created by Rir.

“Rir, awesome!”

Pamela jumps and strokes Rir’s hair.

Pamela, who was captivated by the softness of her hair, stuck to Rir’s body like a rice cake and enjoyed the mofumofu.

Eventually, the vocabulary disappears and only “mofumofu” can be said.

Rir’s hair pulls out the soul in a sense. Well, it can’t be helped.

“But our purpose is Leviathan’s eggs. If you’re offshore, we won’t know where the eggs are.”

“Yes, Zelet-san. It’s possible that it gave up spawning and moved to a different place.”

“Leviathan isn’t such a soft monster. If Rir confirms he’s doing nothing, it’ll definitely come into the bay.”

And I was hoping that the moment wasn’t too far away.
