(191) Silver Armoured strong foe

Translator: Tseirp

I walked on the same path as yesterday in the same armor .

Just as we were about to reach our destination, I suddenly felt it .

“It seems like today the other party reached here first . ”

“Sensei, you can tell?”

Hallock asked with eyes like he was staring at a reliable partner .

“Well, yeah . I have the Presence Detection skill after all . ”

My Hunter job has a skill called Presence Detection II .

Although Presence Detection could only sense the presence of monsters or humans, Presence Detection II could roughly tell me the strength of the other party .

There was a large presence in front of a small one .

I guessed that I won’t be able to handle the opponent in a straightforward manner .

It was the correct choice to have Carol enter My World .

If the opponent was some unruly man, it would have been horrible if he used Carol as a hostage . To be safe, I searched for the presence of an ambush but it seemed like I didn’t have to worry about that . I could only sense the presence of small animals .

“Now then, let’s focus ourselves . ”

I touched my belt a little to verify the position of my sword and walked ahead .

“Yes, Sensei . I will do the negotiations so Sensei can just listen . ”

“Is that so? Then I’ll leave it to you — half the fishing ground okay . Don’t get greedy . ”

“He … yes . ”

That was a late reply . Perhaps he wanted to secure a larger fishing ground by provoking the other party .

It was the right choice to nail it in .

We walked a little more and arrived at the same discussion place as yesterday .

The person wearing the armor was clearly slender — in other words, I could easily recognize that it was a different person .

It looked like they didn’t intend to hide it . The color of the armor the large man wore yesterday was gold but today the armor the man was wearing was silver in color .

Incidentally, the large man who wore the golden armor yesterday,

“We’ve been waiting, Port Kobe’s greenhorn pirate gang . ”

Laughed as he ridiculed us .

“Says the incompetent Port Ithaca pirate gang . You guys actually dared to ask for help because you fear my captain! That’s clearly a different person compared to yesterday!”

“It’s not a helper, this is our real captain . Yesterday we didn’t think that you guys would come so I came out as a proxy — there’s no agreement that the captain himself must be the one who conducts the negotiation right? Seven years ago, the Port Kobe pirate captain gave some lame excuse for having a hangover and had a proxy stand-in after all right?”

“Guh . ”

He did kind of make sense . Or rather, don’t stand people up for an important negotiation like this just because of a hangover .

Nevertheless, the other party’s helper captain — Silver Armor had not said a word . Maybe he was concentrating since he hasn’t spoken at all .

I looked at that man and he also glared at me .

It looked like he was all fired up .

The glaring contest continued before,

“Captain, the talk is done . It will be a one-on-one duel against the other party’s captain there . If we win, they will hand over half of the fishing ground for 10 years . If we lose, they will snatch 90% of the fishing ground . ”

“I see —”

I muttered and nodded .

Hallock was quite skilled to negotiate the splitting of the fishing ground not only for this year but for a ten year period .

With this, even if they didn’t have pirates next year, they would still have a share of the fishing ground .

“Also, Sensei ― it’s a suggestion from the other party, they requested to use the same weapon ― please use this Bronze Sword . ”

“Bronze Sword?”

Judging from the design of the sheath, the opponent was truly holding the same weapon .

“The opponent said that if it was to be a duel, the conditions should be the same ― Sensei don’t have any issue with it right?”

“Yeah . A good workman does not blame his tools, I’ll grab victory even if I have to fight with my fists . ”

Actually, I was nervous thinking that my opponent would be using a superior weapon compared to mine . Even after using Metal Appraisal on the Bronze Sword, the result was Bronze Sword so it didn’t seem like there would be an issue .

(Equal conditions huh ― it seems like the opponent believes in fairness . )

I wanted to have a match where I shake hands with the silver armor guy after everything is over .

I drew the sword from its sheath and dropped the sheath onto the ground as I stepped forward . If my opponent was Sasaki Kojiro, I would probably have already been torn asunder .

Unfortunately, I was the one who was late to the fight instead . (TL: See wiki for the duel between Sasaki Kojiro and Miyamoto Musashi . )

The large man stood between me and Silver Armor and asked with a smile .

“Are you ready?”

Silver Armor drew his sword . It was a great stance with no openings .

I also prepared my sword .

“Let the match begin!”

He announced but neither of us moved . Then, Silver Armor and I slowly closed the distance between us and it happened the moment our swords touched . Silver Armor’s sword moved in a blur and cleaved at my torso . However, I leaped high up and swung my sword down with the intent to use Slash but,

“Geh!”

The blade of my sword cleanly came off . Impossible! Could it be possible that the sword fasteners fell off!?

Even though it seemed fine just now ― was there a trick built into it that would cause it to come loose once a certain amount of time passes?

“What did you do! That’s cowardly!”

Hallock burst out but the large man replied .

“It’s your fault for not checking! Now is the time, get him!”

He instructed Silver Armor . But ― Silver armor didn’t follow his orders .

Then, he tossed his sword to me .

Does he want me to use this sword?

It looked like Silver Armor was not aware of the trick done on the sword .

He was probably a handsome man like Suzuki who would make girls go crazy over him ― but, I’m glad that’s the case this time .

I drew the Bronze Sword and the opponent also pulled his own two sword-like swords .

” … !”

Seeing those two swords, I checked my opponent’s job and increasingly realized my own idiocy . Well, now the other party will probably feel the same, or I guess even more so . If possible, I would like it if she doesn’t end up hating herself but ― I drew the sword and dashed forward .

“Receive this attack squarely with those two swords!”

Following my order, Silver Armor blocked my direct frontal attack with the two swords . Then, she seemed to have noticed as she asked with a soft voice .

” … Master … ?”

“Yeah, I missed you ― Haru . ”

But, why is Haru at a place like this?

Haru was probably wondering the same thing too .
