Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

The two parties entered the cabin together and sat down at the table in the living room. Matthew, who was in charge of the negotiation, sat at the table. Leos and others crowded behind her. In contrast, the Canary team sent She is a young elf girl.

"My name is Pata Delu. We have received permission from the island owner and are investigating the maze."

The girl Patadelu introduced herself and showed Mashu and others the official document signed by the island owner. This attitude surprised Mashu and others.

In their imagination, the other party should look arrogant and contemptuous, but now it seems that he is quite serious?

However, Matthew did not know or meet the island owner. Fortunately, Leos and others on the side had contact with the island owner. After confirming that it was correct, Matthew nodded and asked:

"Nice to meet you, Miss Patadelu. What do you want to ask?"

While speaking, she was also observing the other members of the Canary Team.

Compared to Patadelu, who has an official aura and is serious, the other members seem to be full of personality, or not very serious.

In addition, she could feel that the strongest person in the Canary Team was not Patadelu who was negotiating with her in front of her, but the petite silver-haired elf standing expressionlessly in the corner. The opponent and other elves brought him She felt completely different.

Could it be that he (she?) is the strong man Mr. Sisl mentioned?

By the way, since the elves are all very handsome, except for some female elves with obvious features, it is difficult for them to judge each other's gender by their appearance, including Hisl.

Let’s get back to the point.

After hearing what Mashu said, Patadulu was not polite at all and went straight to the point:

"I hope you can tell me, have you ever met the Lord of the Labyrinth?"

As expected, the other party came for the Lord of the Labyrinth.

Matthew and others had expected it, but when faced with this question, she did not answer immediately, but said:

"Before I answer that question, I'd like to know what you plan to do."

"Sorry, we have no comment on this matter."

Patadelu chose to refuse to answer without hesitation and said resolutely:

"This is our rule. But I promise, what we are doing now is to protect you from harm. I hope you can understand."

"Eh? But..."

Matthew couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, the negotiation suffered a setback at the beginning, and he was suddenly embarrassed.

Seeing that the situation immediately reached a deadlock, Kabul had a headache and couldn't help but want to stand up and speak out. However, at this moment, the silent silver-haired elf on the side suddenly moved and walked straight towards the stairs leading to the second floor. .

"team leader?"

The elves raised their eyebrows slightly, as if they were not too surprised by the other party's behavior, but Matthew immediately left the negotiation table, blocked the other party's way, and warned seriously:

"Please stop!"

In any case, the communication between the senior and Hisel is not over yet, and she will never allow the other party to cause trouble at this time.

However, the other party didn't seem to intend to heed her warning, and still walked straight towards her. The next moment the two sides were about to approach, the silver-haired elf suddenly stretched out his hand to Matthew.

The opponent didn't have a weapon in his hand, and he didn't have much strength accumulated, but Masu still instinctively sensed the dangerous aura contained in it, and quickly dodged the opponent's attack.

At the same time, the other party's behavior was also a signal to her that the battle had begun, so Matthew no longer held back, and the cross and round table shield materialized. The huge shield was like a wall that physically separated their sight.

Suddenly, this 'wall' instantly occupied the entire line of sight of the silver-haired elf. He (she?) could only barely raise his hand to resist it. The next moment his body came into contact with the shield, the silver-haired elf flew backwards with a bang. It hit the wall behind.

"Captain——?!"×n

Matthew didn't use too much force, but the fragile wooden wall still became shattered. Watching the silver-haired elf fall from the wall, the elves' eyes widened in disbelief.

After reacting, Patadelu hurriedly ran to help him. At the same time, the eyes of the other elves looking at Mashu also changed. Among them, the female elf with dark brown skin and long silver hair chuckled:

"You little guy, you're quite capable."

Saying this, the elves all started to move, each assuming a fighting posture. Leos and others could only nervously draw their weapons on guard, and the scene instantly became tense.

"Are you okay, Captain Mislen?!"

"...I'm fine."

Mislen got up from the ground and moved his hands and feet. His tone and expression on his face were as cold as ever. It seemed that he was not hurt, but Patadlu still looked worried.

But he himself didn't care that much. After standing up, he looked at Matthew again and said in a calm tone:

"Is there really something hidden upstairs?"

"I have no comment."

Matthew responded with the words he just received, with the same unyielding attitude.

But at this moment, the soft laughter of the silver-haired female elf on the side came again:

"Little girl, for the sake of your companions, I advise you not to act rashly~?"

"What?!"

Mashu was startled and looked at Laos and the others. Their eyes became dull and they stood there motionless, as if they were under some kind of control.

The female elf gently shook the lily-of-the-valley staff in her hand, making a crisp sound of "ding-ling-ling". At this sound, Laos and the others pointed their weapons at their necks as if they had received an order.

Seeing this, Patadlu frowned in dissatisfaction and said:

"Sishuis, why did you take action without receiving an order?!"

Sishuis smiled and spread her hands:

"After all, the captain has taken the lead. I am just cooperating with the captain's actions. It shouldn't be considered a violation, right?"

"This..."

Patadlu was speechless for a moment. Although she was not satisfied with this explanation, she didn't know how to refute it.

Finally, she could only sigh helplessly, turned her head and looked at Mashu again:

"Sorry, I don't want things to turn out like this. But now that things have come to this, I hope you can cooperate with our investigation, and I promise to ensure the safety of your companions."

"In other words, you intend to threaten me with the safety of your companions?"

Hearing the other party's speech, even Mashu couldn't help but get angry, and at this time, she was not the only one who was angry.

"Enough!"

Kabul shouted angrily and questioned Misren:

"Didn't we agree to negotiate first?! Why did you act on your own?!"

Misren replied calmly:

"The negotiation has failed. I noticed that there was movement upstairs. Judging from the other party's reaction, it can be determined that there are clues related to the Lord of the Labyrinth upstairs."

"...You call the conversation just now a negotiation?"

Kabul was so angry that he laughed, but looking at the other party's expression, he was inexplicably discouraged and became helpless.

"——The atmosphere seems a bit tense."

At this time, a relaxed voice came from upstairs, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Fujimaru Ritsuka appeared on the stairs on the second floor. She looked at the current situation and asked with a smile:

"Excuse me, can someone explain to me what is going on now?"
