Chapter 357 – Episode 357-Request Consultation!

“Finally! Genga Rant is finally here!”

“Yes, Mr. Kelvan. I’m sorry. I’ve been working for the promotion of my new party mate, Mr. Tikia.”

“It’s fine! It’s absolutely fine, Rant! So, what kind of monster did you bring today?”

“Today is the Minotaur.”

“I see, the Minotaur! Then hurry up! Get it out!”

Yes.

I immediately took out the ax the Minotaur was holding along with a large number of Minotaur corpses from my inventory.

“Ohhh! As expected, the monsters that Rant caught are all great in quantity and quality!”

“But this time, there will be a lot of damaged bodies in the middle.”

“Heh heh heh! Don’t worry about that! The original job of dismantling is to separate how useful material is from a damaged corpse!”

“Oh, Mr. Kelvan. I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Please? Tell me something.”

“There’s the Minotaur’s stamina you gave me the other day, right?”

“Ohhh, yes. How did you like it once you tried it?”

“… It was so effective that it went out of control.”

“Heh heh heh! Was it that good? That’s great!”

Mr. Kelvan probably took very lightly the meaning of my runaway.

At most, you’d think it was about shaking your waist with excitement.

But I didn’t bother trying to clear up the misunderstanding.

“I gave that stamina pill to my father when I went back to my hometown this time. So, can you give me another one this time?

“Heh heh! You did a great job of filial piety! Then I’ll ask an acquaintance to make it for you again! The price will be deducted from your reward.”

“Yes, thank you.”

With this, I have secured the stamina to give to Dave.

In addition, let’s make another request.

“Oh, and could you disassemble the meat of the Minotaur separately?”

“Minotaur meat? Orc meat?”

“Yes. I was wondering how different Minotaur meat is from normal beef.”

Mr. Kelvan immediately nodded at my request.

“Okay. How much is the meat?”

“One minotaur is enough. This is my curiosity.”

“For an adventurer, that kind of curiosity is also very important! Then, I’ll give you some fresh meat tomorrow along with an aphrodisiac.”

“Thank you, Mr. Kelvan.”

“Thank you! Rather, I am grateful!Hehe! Today will be a very pleasant day…”

Mr. Kelvan is sending very hot eyes towards the corpses of the Minotaur.

Any longer I’m here will only get in the way of Mr. Kelvan.

“Then I’ll be on my way, Mr. Kelvan.”

“Okay, bye, Rant.”

I immediately went outside and closed the warehouse door.

And.

“Yahhhhh!!! I love you guys so much today!!!”

I heard Mr. Kelvan’s lively cry from behind.

It must have piled up in many ways because I didn’t bring the body properly for several days.

After finishing my business with Mr. Kelvan, I went back to the Adventurer’s Guild.

Elsie, Noah, Tikia, and Niña, who were waiting for me, were sitting in the same seat waiting for me.

I went to where everyone was sitting.

“I’m gone.”

Noah smirked and waved her hand gently at me.

“Come on, Lant. You seem to like Mr. Kelvan a lot? I can hear you shouting from here.”

“Yeah, you really liked it.”

“Uh, there… Rant.”

“Huh? Why Elsie?”

“While Rant was meeting Mr. Kelvan… That Melissa came to our table. So…”

Strangely, Elsie is very reluctant to speak.

“What happened?”

“That is…”

Elsie glanced at Tikia.

Tikia-san was making a puzzled expression.

Yes?

What the hell is going on?

“Poop.”

At that time, Mr. Niña burst out laughing for a moment and said to me.

“Rant~ Fu-huh, wasn’t Lenny a little cold at lunch?”

“Ah yes.”

I couldn’t quite figure out why.

Actually, I was about to return from the warehouse and ask Mr. Niña about it.

Nina continued to speak.

“That’s it~ Rant invited Lenny to dinner and while they were going to the dungeon, Melissa said to Lenny.”

“… ? What do you mean?”

“Rant~ The fact that he’s going on a date with Tikia tomorrow. I think Lenny is pissed after hearing that? I thought I was invited to dinner tonight for flirting, but I heard he’s going on a date with Tikia tomorrow.”

“Ah.”

That means maybe… Could Lenny be jealous?

Did your cold attitude just now get jealous of the fact that you’re going on a date with Tikia tomorrow?

If so… I’m a little glad that I feel that she has a crush on me to the point that Ms. Lenny is jealous.

And it’s kind of sad to know that Mr. Niña was angry with me in the end.

“I was worried that Melissa might have said something unnecessarily after seeing Lenny’s frowning attitude. I think Melissa was saying something to the effect that she didn’t have to worry about being seduced by Lant today after seeing Lenny… Hehe, beyond Melissa’s expectations. Lenny seems to like Rant quite a bit?”

Mr. Niña looked very happy.

It’s like a mischievous friend who is having fun because her best friend is upset with a relationship or reacts differently than usual.

“Yes, Rant~.”

“Yes.”

“What are you going to do? Are you going to leave the pissed-off Lenny alone? Hurry up and talk to me.”

“Yes…”

At Niña’s words, I walked to the reception desk.

“Hey… Lenny-san…”

When I tried to talk her out of Mr. Lenny, Mr. Lenny was very… She told me with a businesslike smile.

“Lant-sama, I could hear all the conversations with the other people. I didn’t get upset in particular.

If you have nothing else to say, please come back. There are paperwork to take care of right now, and most of all, other adventurers have work to take care of at the reception desk.”

“…Yes.”

I immediately went back to the table and spoke to Mr. Niña.

“I’m so angry. I’m scared.”

In particular, it’s scary that he said it with a businesslike smile that was different from the usual Lenny.

“Oh my, it seems like you got hit by our conversation? You’re so cute♪”

Niña may think you’re cute, but I’m scary.

At that time, Mr. Tikia squeezed the hem of Elsie’s nun’s uniform and said.

“I know that look. When I was in school, there was a female teacher who always had a smile on her face on her, and it’s the same atmosphere as when stupid guys kept scratching their heads and turning heads.”

Even to Tikia, who is a genius, Lenny seems to be very angry right now.

Uh, what should I do…

“Rant, at times like this it’s better to wait than to keep talking.”

“Wait?”

“Yeah ♪ Didn’t Lenny say he was going to have dinner with Lant anyway?

“Is that the only way?”

“Right now I think that’s for the best. Maybe?”

Mr. Niña looked at Mr. Lenny and said.

“Couldn’t Lenny cool her head a bit while waiting?”

Then Melissa walked towards us.

Melissa said with a very embarrassed expression.

“Mi-sorry, Lant. I must have said something useless. I told Mr. Lenny with the intention of saying that you don’t have to worry about Rant aggressively attacking you today…”

“No, that’s fine.”

Rather, think the opposite.

Melissa told me ahead of time that it made things better.

Suppose I mentioned a date with Tikia tomorrow while I was sharing dinner with Lenny.

Then you may see in real time Mr. Lenny’s expression immediately turns cold at that moment.

Considering that you foreclosed such a situation and made time for Mr. Lenny to let her feel better until it was time for dinner… Melissa did what was to my advantage.

“Melissa, give me some apple juice.”

“Yea, I got it.”

After taking my order, Melissa went straight to the bar.

I sat down again and thought.

Even if you have no choice but to wait until dinner time with Mr. Lenny, it would be better for you to stay at the adventurer’s guild until Mr. Lenny is finished today rather than immediately returning to the fox’s shelter.

“I’m going to be in the adventurer’s guild, what are you all going to do from now on?”

Tikia was the first to answer.

“I’m going to have a sparring with Noah today… Is Noah good too?”

“Yeah, fine. Fighting with Niña… It hurts a bit, but I’m sure my skills will improve.”

Following Noah, Mr. Tikia spoke.

“… I’ll be in the adventurer’s guild too. I wonder what it would be like if Niña and Noah battled together.”

“I-I’ll stay here too. If Noah gets hurt while sparring with Niña-san… He needs to be treated.”

In the end, everyone stayed in the adventurer’s guild.

Normally, while everyone was going to the training ground, I would have sat here and waited for the customer of the muscle wagon… Today’s goal is to wait until Lenny is finished.

Hmm… Even if I, the cause of the irritation, continued to sit, I could scratch the heart of Mr. Lenny, who is now angry.

If so, would it be good for me to watch the two fight at the training ground until Lenny’s time off work?

It was then.

“Rant, you were here.”

I heard a male voice right behind me.

Looking back, it was Jason who was there.

A-class adventurer Jason dressed like an assassin wrapped in cloth.

Considering what I just said, Mr. Jason seemed to be looking for me.

“Jason, what are you doing?”

“I have one favor to ask of you, Rant.”

“Please?”

Mr. Jason nodded his head and said.

“Rant, I want you to sparr with me.”

At Jason’s words, everyone in the adventurer’s guild either opened their eyes wide or were paying attention.

Mr. Jason, an A-rank adventurer, challenges me, an S-rank adventurer, to fight.

That would surely be a very interesting story for other adventurers.

“Dalian?”

“Yes. Last time I saw you and Niña of Thunder Spear fighting, I wanted to fight with you once. Along with the desire to fight with you, who is purely strong…

I want to see what changes will happen in me through sparring with you. So please, I want you to fight.”

“Okay, then sparring.”

I immediately accepted Mr. Jason’s request.

It’s not that bad things happen by sparring with Jason, and Jason is an adventurer who has overcome disaster together.

If Mr. Jason like that can get something by sparring with me, I’m rather happy.

“Thank you. Then let’s go straight to the training ground.”

Mr. Jason moved to the training ground.

Before I moved my steps, I looked at Noah and Niña and said.

“I’m sorry, Noah, Niña. I think Jason and I will use the training ground first.”

Noah immediately shook her head from side to side and said.

“What’s there to be sorry about! Rather, you can see Rant sparring with the speedy Jason! Come on, let’s go quickly to the training ground, Rant!”

Noah was excited and pushed my back.

“Fufu, since it’s Rant and the pure-speed Jason… I can’t wait to see how much the pure-speed Jason can become Rant’s opponent? Come on, Rant. Let’s go quickly♪”

Mr. Niña made a very happy face and pushed me on the back with Noah.

I was pushed on my back by the two for a moment, then walked on my own and headed to the training ground.

And it’s not just me and my lovely lovers heading to the training ground.

Most of the adventurers from the adventurer’s guild followed us into the training ground.

Jason and I are standing in the center of the training ground, and other adventurers are watching us from the hallway of the training ground.

There, I could hear the chatter of various adventurers, as well as the conversations of my lovely lovers.

“Noah, who is this Jason?”

“Oh, I don’t know about Tikia. That person is Jason, an A-rank adventurer in Fledan. He was the one who fought on the frontlines with Lant when the dungeon was overflowing.”

“What? Then you must know Rant’s skills well, right? But sparring?”

“Didn’t Jason tell you at the beginning? He said he wanted to compete with Rant, who is purely strong. Now, he wonders how well he will work against the super strong Rant.”

“Rant.”

Since Mr. Jason called my name in front of me, I turned my attention to Mr. Jason.

“Yes, Mr. Jason.”

“First of all, thank you for taking the time to sparr. Then let’s get started.”

“Yes.”

Mr. Jason quickly took out the squiggly-shaped daggers in his hands.

“Goes.”

Percussion!

Then Mr. Jason kicked off the ground and charged towards me as if he were being shot.
