Pops comes back from the back of the shop, puts a thick steak on the counter, and then starts talking again.
“About the party that kicked you out, ……?”
“Hey!”
You want to go back to that story again?
I glare at him, my brows furrowed.
You can’t expect me to go easy on you just because you have Sophie. I’m not going to let you get away with it.
“Wait a minute! Wait a minute, let me finish.”
He raised his hands in the air in a pose of surrender. I don’t know what he’s trying to say, but I don’t think it’s the same story.
He restores his facial expression and I urged him to talk silently.
“What the hell?! You need to calm down.”
“I’m calm.”
“All right, all right. So, the story is simple. Licht’s party, the one that kicked you out, has failed to conquer the dungeon.”
“Isn’t it early? It’s only been a few days since I left the party right?”
“But it’s a fact. There are rumors about the downfall.”
The day you kicked me out, you went into a dungeon, got attacked by a demon and retreated. You mean that rumour reached here?
It’s not impossible that this is the case, as this is also the route taken by merchants.
However, Licht, who excels in offense and defense, Rosa, who excels in magic, and Eva, who can recover even a seriously injured person, Colette, who can move no matter how much the bow moves, and there is a possibility of losing to the extent that it is rumored to be a failure. Is it …?
Although their strength has dropped because I left, I’m sure they weren’t so inexperienced that they couldn’t move after calculating it.
Whether you forcibly aimed at the back, met an irregular monster, or a battle between adventurers … I could imagine as much as I could, but it wasn’t realistic. They were strong and didn’t have the image of losing.
“They are not the kind of people who can be easily defeated. …… What happened to you?” [T/N: You= his old party].
“‘What happened?’ Oh. You’ve been kicked out and you’re sticking up for them.”
“Because it’s a fact. So, haven’t you heard anything?”
“Hmm … From what I’ve heard, there was some trouble with the Knights. Apparently there was a dispute in the dungeon.”
Knights? —Did you meet a group of pride lumps and Licht, who was supposed to look down on people? That’s a problem. I can imagine it as if it came to my mind.
I had experienced such a similar situation, but it didn’t matter because I bowed my head and put it in a dogeza … Well, those four people can’t do it. It develops into a ‘slash’ and shares pain with each other. After that, is it the flow of being charged with crime by the state power?
“You made a mistake selling fights. Certainly, that party is over.”
“Oh, that’s why everyone says it’s a downfall. I don’t know what kind of crime they’ll be charged with, but I don’t think I’ll meet them anymore?”
“That’s right.”
While agreeing with Pops, I couldn’t help but be worried about Sophie’s gaze as she listened to the conversation.
