Chapter 60 - Let's Hear the Details
Kazane returned the Tatsuyoshi-kun doll to its helmet state, put it in her Mysterious Pouch, and tied it to her waist .
「I will try adjusting its design and using it later . I might ask you to do some adjustments again; please help me, Master . 」
Since the specifications were so disconnected from her initial hypothesis it was necessary to fully investigate the design again . Kazane thought it would be necessary to revise how the clay muscles were distributed, to adjust the balance, then have it recreated .
「I'm looking forward to it . Well, I made it easy to assemble so I could adjust it by myself . 」
As a matter of fact, if the problem was only with the clay muscles and their balance adjustment as Kazane was worried about, she would be able to play around with the arrangement of the accordion-like pieces herself . That was written in the specification document she would later receive .
「And beyond that there are some additional fees . The amount received so far wasn’t enough to cover the cost . 」
That is, Master's profits were so little above cost that they were almost equal . Master was satisfied because he gained experience and knowledge as both an individual and craftsman, which was worth more than he received in fees .
「I’ll do something about it . 」
Kazane thought「hmm」to herself while she answered . The amount from the Elder Cat and such was still untouched, but since that was being distributed among everyone she would have about 3000 kirigia on hand . It was a large amount of money to have compared to the ordinary day laborer or adventurer, but it was insufficient for the additional fees by an order of magnitude . She thought about borrowing from Yumika … and Kazane started imagining the collapse of their friendship .
「There’s something I forgot to mention . While you were out, the Minshiana Royal Palace knight order came and asked about you . 」
「Eh? Why?」
「I do not know . They only asked if you were here . 」
「Kazane, did you do something?」
Kazane was more confused after Tiara's question .
「Well now, it’s probably an additional reward for the ogre extermination . 」
Tatsuyoshi-kun's remodeling cost came to mind .
「It probably isn’t anything too different . Well, they didn’t give a dangerous impression, and they didn’t say anything bad, so in the future I think you should go and see what they want . I wanted to tell you just in case . 」
「Un, thanks . 」
After that, Kazane and others headed for the guild office . They wanted to confirm the current ogre situation and check the requests .
◎ Winlard City Adventurer’s Guild Adjoining Tavern
「Yo」
As Kazane entered several adventurers took turns greeting her .
「Ara ara, she’s a pretty popular person . 」
「Muu, but everyone is subtly keeping their distance . 」
Kazane was known as the Ogre Killing Princess in Winlard, and there was no mistake that she was considered a hero, but the episodes of kicking ogres to death, making ogres flee by yelling, exposing cheating, etc . caused her to be considered brutal and she was a target of awe for many adventurers . Especially for adventurers who have recently been doing nothing but ogre suppression and were stained to the bone with the knowledge of how strong ogres were .
By the way, these stories also contained rumors from Tsuvara, like that she massacred all the thieves that kidnapped the princess shortly afterward (which was an attempt to create a coherent story from the released information), she beat the country's guardian beast with her bare hands (for the soldiers who were watching from afar it seemed so), made a monster cat her subordinate with one kick (the report from the guild) etc . all joined together with the other stories . The information about Diablo was being controlled, so the existence of Sieg was a secret .
Being the companions of the Ogre Killing Princess meant that within this city’s adventurer’s guild, Tiara and Louise had as close to a personal certificate of safety as was possible to receive . Although many of the veteran adventurers knew about Louise herself .
「Yooo, Kazane . Haven’t heard from you for a while . 」
It was that guy, Gyao, who called out to Kazane’s group .
「It’s been a while~ . Have you been drinking since noon?」
「Well, you know . You’re accompanied by some incredibly beautiful women . 」
As soon as they met it was like this . Thinking carefully, Master had the same reaction, although he was influenced by the receptionist’s report .
「This is Tiara and the one next to her is Louise-san . 」
Kazane introduced them .
「Please treat me well . 」
「Treat me well . 」
The two people said back to back . Gyao had an unprecedented full face smile .
「Well, I'll kill you if you touch Tiara, but you can do whatever with Louise-san?」
Tiara turned towards her and said「Kazane」with dewy eyes, but Kazane was judging that Gyao was no good, not commenting about Tiara . For example, if the other party was Kimberly, Kazane would be pleasant and consider him acceptable . It would be the same even if it was Mondorie . But the beastman in front of her eyes was a no . Talking with him by herself was one thing, but he was the type of human garbage that she should never let her friends associate with . That was Kazane’s evaluation against Gyao .
「I’m fine?」
「Yeah . I won’t say anything no matter what Louise-san likes to do with unpopular men . 」
She was not going to misjudge which side was the predator . Kazane's newly earned『Insight』was also signalling her . Since Kazane was also equipped with her own natural intuition from the beginning, it would be accurate to say that her skill sublimated to the extent that her intuition was sharpened enough to read the slightest expression correctly .
「Well then, shall we do what we like? Hey, Louise-san . 」
This one or this one did not make his smile collapse . Even if Tiara’s age was within Gyao’s permissible range, from her demeanor it seemed she was a high class person and he expected she would say「something like that is too serious」if he made a move . She was certainly a beautiful woman, but a woman who was likely to cause future trouble was a no-thank you .
On the other hand Louise was a critical strike for Gyao . With an enveloping smile, elven features that were long, slender, and well proportion, and despite her polished and slender body, what was with the volume of those breasts? Touching those would be like grasping the truth of the universe .
The truth was he wanted to get his hands on someone who was once the lover of a king, and in his lowest desires the possibility of Louise being smooth down there was high . In addition, it would be a privilege to become hole brothers with Zinray and Master (!?) . [TL: I don’t need to know some dirty old man’s fantasies, give me more lovey-dovey Tiara!]
