TENKEN 680 Side: A Certain Group of Three 2

「Geez! Sibylla-sama! I’ve told you not to make a scene, haven’t I!?」

「Iyaah~ I didn’t expect it to cause such a commotion」

「This is not our country! We’re now in a peaceful country, some of the people here have never even fought a magic beast before!」

「Huh? Really?」

「They don’t have the same type of training against magic beast as our country after all. What do you think would happen if Sibylla-sama used her intimidation in such a place...」

「Hmm? I’m not intimidating them or anything though, right, Biscot?」

「Yes! You just had a little standoff with the girl from the stall」

「...Why did things become like this when I took my eyes off you for a moment...」

「By the way, you said you were going to check something out, didn’t you? What were you doing?」

「A famous adventurer was having a meal with me, so I made some quick contact with him」

「Hee~? What’s he like?」

「He’s the Iron Claw Colbert, a B ranked adventurer. I just greeted him and had a quick chat with him」

「So, what’s your impression of him?」

「He’s a very sociable and honest person. I think he was a desirable person to make a request to」

「Adventurers are greedy, untrustworthy, coward, stupid and weak, was it?」

「No matter how many times I hear it, that was just a terrible propaganda. If all of that was true, then why is the Kingdom of Kranzel, which has so many adventurers, flourishing to this extent? I’d like to show this city to the foolish higher-ups who can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality」

「You think so?」

「The size of the market and the abundance of goods available surpass even that of the capital of our country. The food at those stalls is as good as the food of our nobles. It seems that the adventurers work a great part in this. I’d like to tell those fools who say that adventurers they’ve never seen are no big deal to get a grip on reality!」

「But the problem is, most of the people in our country have never seen an active adventurer before. It’s no wonder they’d believe what they’re told by the government, right?」

「Yes. That was an unusually sharp thing for Biscot to say」

「Hey, what was that for...」

「It also seems that not only the people, but also a growing number of knights and soldiers are believing the propaganda」

「We are the finest and the most powerful, and we deserve to rule the continent. Other inferior nations that rely on barbaric fools like adventurers should follow our lead, huh? Kukuku, was it the Southern Duke who said that? That loser pig sure talks a lot」

「Hou? Well, that’s quite something, isn’t it? And he was just a B ranked adventurers, right?」

「Yes. I haven’t made contact with any of them, but there are A ranker and S ranker on top of that」

「I was told that there is a lot of A ranker and former A ranker roaming around in Kranzel... Oh right, the beastman girl from the stall! What about that one?」

「Big sis sure is having fun, huh? I didn’t expect the girl who was selling food at the stall to be so strong. To be honest, I would have preferred if she hadn’t made a face」

「Kukuku. That one was a real deal; I’d love to have a match with her」

「Even Sibylla-sama talk that much of her, huh...?」

「At least it’ll be more fun than dealing with that Crimson Flame’s brat. That’s for sure. That’s what they call an A ranked adventurer, isn’t it?」

「I see, that makes sense. I’ve heard that adventurers are all about capability. That B ranker is one of the few people I’ve met since entering this country who seems to be stronger than me」

「Yup yup, what do you think, Clicker?」

「...Unfortunately, you’re wrong. The young beastman girl in that stall would be the adventurer known as the Black Lightning Princess. It is said that she is strong, but she’s still a B ranker」

「...Even with all that strength, she’s still a B ranker?」

「Judging from what Biscot and Sibylla-sama say, she must be stronger than that Colbert guy. But she’s really just a B ranker」

「F-for real... Hah! Then, what about the old man from before!? What about him!?」

「That soup shop owner huh? That one looked strong enough to make me shiver. In terms of power, the Black Lighting Princess is the stronger one. But in terms of sheer creepiness, it was the old man from the soup shop」

「Soup shop... they called that shop the Dragon Restaurant, wasn’t it?」

「Yes, it has such a name!」

「Whether it’s a lie or not, they said they were using a dragon for ingredients」

「Then it must be the store’s owner, Fermus the Dragon Hunter. He’s a former A ranked adventurer」

「He’s a, former?」

「Yes」

「Umm, let’s see, doesn’t that mean an active A ranked adventurers were stronger than the Black Lightning Princess or the Dragon Hunter? Seriously...!?」

「Kukuku! This is making me even more excited to see more and more A ranked adventurers」

「I-I’m starting to get a little intimidated. I mean, far from being an inferior country, they’re country of monsters」

「I beg of you! Please don’t cause a scene here!」

「I know I know」

「Haa-h... I wonder whether we can safely return to our country in one piece...」
