Chapter 43: Chasing away the debt collectors!

Chapter 43: Chasing away the debt collectors!

The hoodlums that abruptly showed up had a shaved head and unshaved face.

“Hey, Nii-chan, I don’t say anything bad. Just stop with this store.”

“That’s right, if you don’t want to experience pain just go to a different store. I recommend the Korsten family store that’s 3 buildings away.”

They noticed me and with a dirty smile and picked a quarrel.

Before I could say anything, Clarissa opened her mouth.

“Stop it. I don’t mind what you do to me. But don’t make trouble for the guest.”

The hoodlums smile intensified

“Now, what shall we do?”

“That’s right. At best we can just thrash the store.”

And then they began kicking desks to the ground and throwing all of the documents to the ground.

“Ora, this aswell!”

He took a small knife that was decorated on the shelf.

“Stop it. That’s an item of the store.”

“Noisy! I keep telling this cheeky mouth to pay back the debt!”

While saying that, he threw the knife to the ground to break it.

But…

“Huh?”

Before he noticed, the knife in the guy’s hand was no longer there.

The man was in disarray, he was shaking his head left and right desperately trying to find where the knife went.

“Aah!”

He screamed.

That is only natural.

Because the knife which was supposed to be 5 meters separated away from me was now in my hand.

“You bastard! What did you do! What kind of parlor trick did you use!??!?”

The man yelled being agitated.

Sigh, you’re not worth considering if you cannot see movement to that extent.

To the man’s question I didn’t answer just laughed inappropriately and shrugged while sighing, completely ignoring him.

“Are you making fun of me!?”

But, for some reason the guy was enraged at my actions and was coming to assault.

Haa, I sighed once more.

Dodging it would be very troubling.

Because, my opponents attack was hardly even able to be recognized as such.

Dealing with him is very difficult.

But, my opponent is desperate.

With bloodshot eyes and gritted teeth he came rushing at me to attack me with his killing move.

Avoiding him is the lowest of etiquette.

I was thinking such and with a tiresome feeling I started to move slowly but at the same moment.

“What are you doing to Master!?”

“Please do not touch Masatsugu-sama with your filthy hands!”

“To stand before my Masatsugu-san~ You’re 100m years way too early~”

“Do not approach Masatsugu-dono!”

The orphanage girls appeared infront of me and did a splendid counter.

“Gubee!?”

The girls attacked him with fists and magic and with a somersault he rolled on the ground. He got knocked out with foam coming out of his mouth.

As expected they went easy on him, but nevertheless that attack was from the girl’s who were under my skill *Protection (Improved.)*.

The hoodlums is not at a level to be an enemy at all.

“Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii!? You bastard!? You intend to fight back? Did you think it will end like this if you make enemies of the Corsten Family!?”

Looking at his friend miserable state, the other unshaved guy couldn’t stand anymore and screamed.

“Rather, do you even know what will happen if you make an enemy of myself? Go back and tell this to your boss. Concerning the matter of this the day after tomorrow he should write an official apology document and bring it. If he does that, then it will be forgiven. But, if he is not able to apologize then he’s an untrustable person and his permit to do business in this region would be not allowed. This means it’s suspension of business.”

But I was calmed and established that rule and severely informed him

“Hiiiii!? What the hell are you sayin…”

The guy pitiably screamed.

“As expected of our kind Master, giving a chance for them to pardon themselves.”

“Good grief. Masatsugu-sama is truly overflowing with tolerance.”

“That’s so after all~ That’s why for real he should be this world’s ruler~”

“Governing a country too strictly is a bad thing. I learned that as a Demon King.”

The girls gave their opinions on my words.

“There’s a dwarf saying for Masatsugu, a person worth dedicating your skill for the entirety of your life.”

Conversely, Clarissa mumbled something that I didn’t understand well.

“Damn it! Remember this!”

In the middle of our exchange the guy carried the shaved head guy and gave a parting threat as he escaped.

Oops, doesn’t work like that.

In an instant I sneaked around the guy carrying the shaved guy and kicked them to the ground.

“Geh!?”

“Gya!”

Letting out dirty voices the two of them rolled on the ground and covered themselves with dust. The shaved head guy also woke up from the sharp pain.

In order for the guys groveling on the ground to not run away I kicked them and quietly informed them.

“Did you think you’ll return like this? You left the store scattered around, and cause a lot of trouble, from my view I haven’t punished you enough. Therefore this time, I order you to pay consolation money. Since it was malicious, they pay is 100,000 giel.”

“What the fuck!? Who has to pay such giel amount! Shit, move these legs!!!!”

I was saying that, and made them stay on the ground and one of them yelled out.

“Fumu, not being able to pay is not a problem. On top of a penalty, you’ll pay in another way.”

When I said that, the two guys became frightened from the bottom of the hearts and forked over 100,000 giel.

Then, they looked pitifully sad and for sure thought they would get away.

But…

“Wait a bit.”

I called out to them once more.

The guys saw over their shoulder with shivers.

Good grief, small-like guys.

“You paid, so I won’t do anything. More than that, you guys said about Clarissa’s debt. Do you guys have promissory note?”

When I said that, the men put their hands on their bosom and looked anxious.

It seems they thought that I would tear the letter.

“Idiots. I won’t do that, just show it to me.”

At my order they gave up and just showed it to me.

Fumu, certainly the amount of the debt was written here.

One million giel.

“Oi, you guys, is there no mistake about this?”

“Yes, that’s so!”

“Aah, it’s exactly one million! Even 1 giel is not off! If it’s not paid by the day after tomorrow the store will be seized and the girl will fall into slavery. Whether you can gather one million giel in only two day’s or …”

They vented their anger out while screaming.

“What, one million is just fine. Here, take it.”

I said that to the laughing guys and took out a silver coin and fligned it with my finger.

It flew so vigorously it hit the forehead of the shaved head guy.

“Ngya!?”

“Wha!?”

The shaved head guy screamed out in sharp pain while the unshaved face guy goggled with fully open eyes.

Pitiful people.

“Why, why did you…?”

Even from Clarissa came an unusual voice filled with surprise.

What, the reason is simple.

“We didn’t complete the contract from earlier. I just simply paid the remuneration for it. The first deposit is one million giel. For the consignment fees and necessary fees we will discuss about them in the future.”

I calmly told her.

“As I thought you’re my Master.” (TN: Clarissa uses “マスター” which is the japanese way of saying master in English, while Lucia uses 御主人様 which is a really respected way of saying master in Japanese.)

For some reason Clarissa looked at me with red dyed cheeks and for an instant a smile floated on her face.

Master??

In what kind of meaning is that?

On top of my head a question mark floated.

“Haaa… One more… It can’t be helped since Master is cool-looking but.”

“But, we’re envious!”

“I won’t give up the third spot to anyone~”

“This is a weak person falling in love…”

The orphanage girls had a expression like they’ve given up and grumbled about stuff I don’t quite understand.

Um, what’s wrong.

“Is this not the real thing?”

“Shit! What the hell happened!”

While we were having such an exchange, the hoodlum guys were panicking and let out confused voices.

Sigh, interacting with these guys is wearing me out.

“Oi, enough fooling around you people. The debt doesn’t exist anymore. This is not a place for trash like you to stay. Now, just return to your garbage dumb place. And then when you return tell your boss to come with an apology, okay? Aah, remember this well if you come and harrass us again we’ll take as failure of executing accountability and the whole Corsten family will be expelled from the country.”

I disinterestedly informed them.

The men were grinding their teeth and scowling at me with hatred in their eyes.

But

“What? Is there something more?”

“Hiii!?”

“Shit! You better remember this!”

I threatened them just a little bit and they immediately scurried away frightened

“Sigh, no matter which world it is trash cleaning is troublesome.”

When I said that the surrounding orphanage girls were smiling.

In that time my cloth’s hem was pulled.

The culprit was… certainly the dwarf girl Clarissa.

“Masatsugu is my Master. Forever together. You can say anything. My skills and everything is for Masatsugu only.”

She was holding to my hem and was looking at me with a slightly red face.

Fumu, the master is about consigning for the contract, right?.

It’s a grandiose way of putting it, you’re surely mistaken.

It’s a fitting expression of the craftswoman Clarissa.

“Aah, take care of me?”

“Leave it to me. I present everything of me to Masatsugu!”

Somehow it’s exaggerating.

Well, dedicated to her work is fine.

I nodded laughing.

“Haa”

The other orphanage girls who were watching our exchange sighed despite earlier laughing together.

Un, why though?

At any rate, we’ve finally calmed down and began the discussion of making the mirror.
