Chapter 94 - Episode Seventeen

“…… Well then, here’s your reward money.”

Gaston accepts the bag full of coins from the receptionist.

The sound of Gaston gulping and swallowing spit can be heard even at my location.

Gaston puts his hand inside the bag and plucks a single gold coin.

Gordon glares at him and he put it back in the bag, clicking his tongue.

Gaston stared back at the suspicious onlookers as he walked out of the facility with a large stride.

Mordon, walking beside Gaston, was giving me a look.

I guess I’d better follow them, too.

As I was thinking about following Gaston after he left the facility, I noticed that the number of people who looked like Gaston’s cronies was starting to increase.

one, two, three…… From the onlooker’s group, one woman rushes out being late. In no time at all, there were seven of them.

“As expected of Gaston, that’s great!”

“My brother Gaston is a great guy!”

“Of course! That’s our Gaston-san after all!

He has a mouthful of possessions and is in Gaston’s good mood.

Maybe he’s surprisingly normal and well-liked.

In fact, Gaston’s arrogance is powerful when you have him on your side.

They would be relieved to have Gaston standing on top of them, too.

“So, Gaston-san. Anyway, I’ve been talking to the old man at the Drunkard’s Pavilion, and he’s asked us to make some noise in the afternoon anyway! The old man was happy to hear that Gaston-san was active, too.

Gaston’s complexion changes quickly.

Gordon can’t see what’s going on and steps in between Gaston and his cronies.

“h-, hey guys. You didn’t even get his permission……”

“What? Look who it is, it’s the idiot brothers, Gordon. Don’t get carried away, you’re just a load carrier. Listen, brother Gaston is not as petite as you are. He’s not gonna be a cheapskate. Right, Brother Gaston? Let’s make some noise, shall we? We’re going to make some noise, aren’t we?”

All of the cronies’ eyes are on Gaston at once.

“O, o, o…… of course! Come on, let’s go, boys!”

“That’s what I’m talking about! Hey, you got that, Gordon!”

Oh, that’s a bad one.

Gaston was also troubled for a moment, but it was really only a moment.

He wanted to maintain his dignity in front of his cronies, I guess.

He agreed so easily.

I’m not sure I can take advantage of Gaston after all.

“W-, wait! Hey! Hey! Wait, you…… we need to talk……”

Gordon shouted and grabbed Gaston’s shoulder as he was leaving with his cronies.

“Shut up! Don’t tell me what to do!”

Gaston shakes it off, grabs Gordon’s staggered back and pulls him down to the floor.

“W-, wait, you……”

Gordon rises to his feet with Mordon on his shoulder and looks back at me.

His face was pale and he told me with his eyes, mouth movements and hand gestures, ‘I’ll take care of it”.

He had a thoughtful look on his face as if he was feeling responsible or remembering the time he fought me.

Gordon and Mordon ran hurriedly and followed Gaston.

He had the look of a demon.

It’s okay to leave it to him…… isn’t it?

I can’t see anything but the future of being used like that.

“Isn’t that bad? W-, What do you want to do?”

“What to do, you say……”

Frankly, there’s nothing I can do to get in on it.

Nominally, that money is something Gaston grabbed on his own.

I can beat up Gaston later, but the money will be sneaking away by then.

And I don’t have the guts to go into a bar and ruin a party.

They’re really a bunch of guys who look like hoodlums, and frankly, they’re scary.

“…… I’m sure they’ll be fine. Look, Gordon looked at me saying that to let him handle it.”

“Is, is it really okay. Mea is really worried about this.”

“I’m sure Gordon is used to all this hassle.”

Conquer the poison with poison.

The quickest way to deal with a rough guy is to get a rough guy, supposedly.

Let’s go with the right person at the right time.

“It’s a good thing I brought Gordon on board after all, yeah. Anyway, if we manage to retrieve the money, I think we will be able to have more time with considerable livelihood funds. That’s why I’d like to buy some things in town or something…”

“Abel, aren’t you escaping reality for a minute!? If we fail to retrieve that, we’ll lose an inn to sleep!

In the end, we decided to move in case we had to move, so we decided to do the shopping another time.

We decided to visit the Kudor Church in the center of the city and spend some time in the library located inside it.

There are no restrictions on the use of the Qudurian church library and it is open to the public.

There’s nothing I can do to chase after Gaston and the others right now.

For now, I’ll do some research today and get a good night’s rest at the inn.

I’m sure Gordon will be collecting the balm bird reward money tomorrow.

Kudor religion is the state religion of the Kingdom of Dinrat, and except for a few extremists, no one looks at the followers of other religions in a discriminatory manner.

But there are a lot of myths that are rather silly, and there are many stories that appease the God who is angry and wants to eat the sinners with all his might.

I thought it was mainly books such as the Bible and hymns because of the church library, but there was a wide range of books from magical instruction manuals to adventure books, and even romance novels in the end.

In fact, the Bible and academic books were pushed to the corner, and those that smacked of novels for the masses were placed at the front.

Maybe that’s why the number of visitors was not so great but is this really what this church is all about?

I saw a woman in a monastic dress in the museum, but she was lying on a desk in a deep sleep.

She was drooling over a thick book that was tucked under her cheek. It was the Bible of the KudorChurch.

Are you okay with this, Kudor Church? I’ve heard that the gods here are short-tempered and shady.

At any rate, I had Mea carry every single book on alchemy and bio-magic that I wanted to look into my desk.

There are a little over thirty books in total.

This field is so deep that it’s hard to see the bottom of it even if you look into it, which is a problem.

Considering the time and effort required to carry them, I thought about standing up to read them, but they were too thick and my arms would be defeated.

“Sorry, Mea, for making you carry it.”

“N, no…… if it’s just this……”

As expected, it was tough going back and forth, and Mea was out of breath.

“Well…… are you sure you’re going to be able to read this by the end of the day?”

Mea was slightly taken back when she saw the pile of books on the desk.

The stares from the other users in the library were also painful. Was my manner a little bad?

“The basic rule with these books is to lightly read the content covered by them. As expected, I can’t read the whole thing.”

“I, I see. Mea doesn’t really know anymore……”
