Chapter 76 Fire Spread
Part 1
What on earth... What is going on? Did I do anything wrong?”
After grasping the Hunter-related gossip magazine I has been given to, For the first time in a while, I fluttered at this situation which became uncontrollable.
On the unfolded color page, there is an article about the Leader of a certain Clan. It is about a High-Level Hunter running around trying to get a certain product in the next Zebrudia auction.
Although the name is hidden, there is only a limited number of Hunters who are Clan Master and are Relics maniac, so if someone read it, they will immediately recognize me.
The negotiation which seemed to be successful until halfway suddenly became uncertain because of the bystander who barge in and completely collapse with the invasion Gladys-kyo’s daughter.
The Relic, 『Reverse Face (Facial Transformation) 』 which seemed to be buyable for ten million Gils was decided to be auctioned again as it was still Arnold’s possession.
Arnold also seemed to be confused by the sudden situation, but I was the most confused.
Even if it was unexpected that someone would want that seemingly spooky mask, I don’t understand what the Countess daughter means when she said the strongest Relic.
For the time being, I told éclair-jou that it was not the strongest Relic but a dangerous Relic, but she didn’t listen at all.
.
In fact, the 『Reverse Face (Facial Transformation) 』 is neither the strongest nor something like it. It is just a Relic that allows you to transform, there isn’t any effect to improve your combat ability. In appearance you can add muscle when transforming but your muscle strength doesn’t actually increase. Since you only wrap your body in flesh, changing your body shape makes it difficult to move.
Well even if it is illegal, I was indeed lying because it isn’t dangerous but I did that because I wanted it. For that reason, they wanted to take it from me, it was way too cruel.
Well, it is not a rule violation, but it is definitely a violation of manners. Don’t they have any sense of moral at all? You want nobles and Hunters to have moral? Haha.
But as expected nobles really do have money.
Eva is gazing at me a few degrees colder than usual, she knows.
“So, what are you going to do?”
While asking her to help me repay a debt she was irrelevant about, I was planning to purchase a Relic behind her back.
Whether you think calmly or not, I am the perfect no-good human. Moreover, it was post-report. Someone please do something about me.
Are you planning on getting the strongest Relic and become a Hunter? It is useless, I tell you. No matter how powerful the Relic you possess is if your foundation is of a small fry then there isn’t anything it can do, I am the living proof of that.
“So, what are you going to do?”
“Please think carefully whether it is a Relic you really need. Cry-san, you have a lot of Relics, right?”
Eva’s kind word tries to admonish me.
But, I want it. Whatever happen want it. I want it if it is possible. ... After all, I don’t need it.
I raise my eyebrows and scratch my hair.
Anyway, it is still fine if it was only to collect one hundred million but now, it has become a money fight against nobles and business companies, it is impossible. Moreover, the auction is approaching. No matter how I think about it, I can’t win, even if I go to a Shrine from now on.
And I am a genuine consumer. I am different from Sytry who can generate as much money as long as she has the time.
“......Ah. If you are going to make a face like that then, why did you went around applying for a debt and spread around this information?”
“But I don’t remember doing that thought... Uuun. How much is there in Lucia’s account... N, no, I’m kidding. It’s just a joke!”
Eva, the one who is always supporting the pitiful me and is called the shadow of our party member, is looking at me as if she was watching at some garbage.
However, if you let me make an excuse... Lucia has told me that if I ever run out of money and for some reason, it is really something that can’t be helped then I can withdraw from her account even without permission.
If you want to borrow from someone then it is better to borrow from me, she is really a reliable Imouto.
But... Uuuuun... There is no helping it. If it doesn’t work after I did all I could then I will give up.
With the amount I can collect, it is impossible to confront nobles or business companies. Sytry is also like that, the timing is really the worse.
I am sorry for her but for now, when I want to go a sweet shop, I will bring Tino around with me.
TL notes:
Thx for reading!
I love when Eva asked him why he spread around a rumor about him wanting to buy a Relic. It’s because he wasn’t thinking. XD
Haha Cry you gonna borrow from your sister XD
And I think Tino will be pretty happy to go with you.
Tchao à plus
Okay it is hard to understand as there is no sound but first Cry makes a deep sigh, but Eva say to not sigh but say a oh crap.
