Isekai Shoukan Makikomu Ijousha

Isekai Shoukan chapter 23: Annoying male, whose name is Rura!

“............Na!?” 

I helped Wiria’s four-men party in substitution for an etiquette guidance. I thought that it will go smoothly, but the magician of Wiria's party flew into a rage for some reason and expressed his instinctively wild opinion from the bottom of his heart. Why is he so, while I consider it in my head, but then a flash lights up in my mind. 

(Hey hey, because they were in a pinch, why is he angry at my help? ......I don't understand it well.........umm......haa!! I understand, I understand!! I understand, what he wants!! In other words, when his party really were in a pinch he didn't use all of his energy daringly, so that he can be serious and kill the ogre. It might be his strategy to have the girl of his heart to obtain the image that he is a strong and cool man, and so that she will fall in love with him. Oops, That's flat. Then there should be an explanation, too. He mustn't lose his temper perhaps in case of the opposite standpoint either......uwa, what should I do what should I do......should I apologize first? But how do you apologize!? "I'm sorry to destroy your strategy to make this girl fall in love with you!!” Please, shall I apologize so? He will be angrier than before......umm......well and if its a fake, that he hasn't the strength to knockdown the ogre. Well, I will also look stealthily on his status to find solace already《Appraisal》!!)

“...............So weak!!" 

I shout while looking up at the sky to see the status of Rura, also known as that magician. 

“Eh!? What is Iori? Shouting so suddenly......” 

Tifal was surprised that I cried out so suddenly, that she asked if everything was okay. 

“Ah, no......it is nothing......don't mind it......” 

(Oioioi, Rura’s status is too low. With this, he wouldn't be able to win even against a small fish ogre......and he is even one year younger......nuu......The reason why he is so angry isn't understood anymore......If his strategy is to make Wiria fall in love with him was obstructed by something......I wonder what he would do then?) 

When I looked steep alone and was troubled, Wiria rushed up to my bottom in a hurry. 

"I, I'm sorry, Rura......no, the boy who was shouting a short while ago thought that he can knock it down though he can't even knock down an ogre......I'm sorry!! Please don't be rude to the one who helped us......so Rura apologize neatly now!!" 

Wiria returns her heel while panicky saying so and forcibly pulled Rura before Tifal and me. 

“Hey!! Why did you steal other people's prey from the side!! You spoiled the ogre which we cornered to a critical condition and acted as our savior!! Compensation!!  Take out compensation!!" 

Rura grandly shouted and had dispersed me and Tifal.  

I talked to Tifal in a low voice. 

(Hey Tifa, was the ogre’s state in critical condition? I thought it was considerable lively......and in this case must I take out compensation? Because I was in the remote continent all the while, I'm not rich......) 

(It wasn't in a critical condition and though we rescued their lives intentionally, why do we have to take out compensation? I think that the death penalty is good to such ingratitude. May I cut their necks?) 

We confronted Rura after I rushed and restrained Tifal who tried to take her large sword out again from her ring. 

(......Haa......I feel heavy......he is really troublesome......aah, while saying so, this annoying man had the title fallen noble. Does he fall silent if we hand the corpse of this small ogre to him? Profitable......but still, do I summon my summon beast and threaten him if he doesn't become silent?? Well, let's do that)

“Hey, you annoying magician there, because we attacked the ogre, fall silent" 

The lips of Rura who heard my words were raised and he let his face come unsawn, but Wiria hits his head which assumed such a manner and yelled. 

"Rura!! Stop it!! We would be killed by that ogre!! Without thanking the people who helped us and requesting compensation......You are ridiculous!!" 

"Noisy Wiria!! I could knock down that ogre!! Because they intercepted the demon who could have be beaten, I request compensation!! And that thief also said that he wants our prey, which should be ours!! I want to have it!!" 

The other party members of Wiria and Rura were amazed about their quarrel.  

Tifal who looked at those two since starting their quarrel has her hand on her waist, because she was going to cut them. I stopped her and interfered in their quarrel.  

"I don't need that ogre’s corpse. If you want it, you should collect it quickly. Please guide me to the next town quickly than doing such an act. I'm tired" 

I opened my mouth towards Wiria and Rura, while looking languid. Wiria hesitated to receive the ogre’s corpse till the end, but as soon as I said, I will express my thanks with it, she believed me that I didn’t need it and guided us to the town. 

On the way to the town I remembered something and asked Wiria a question suddenly. 

“Emm, Wiria say, why were you fighting against those ogres? You guys would be dead if you did it badly?" 

The moment when I said so Rura frowned, but ignored it. 

“Well, we had heard that a nest of goblins had formed near that place from the guild this time and we had come to eliminate them. In the middle, those ogres appeared......” 

Wiria says so, while sweat was running down leisurely from the backs of Tifal and me who heard her words. 

“......I, I see. What a misfortune" 

Thereafter, there was no conversation. It was about one hour from where we started while passing through the forest safely until we arrived at the town――――― 

By the way, this four-man party is named Colorful Breeze and is a D-rank party. 

Oh, they are no good even if they are talking about rank. 

When we arrived in front of the town, I asked Wiria about the name of this town. The town which is called Jerunda lies in the Ederu kingdom though it seems dubious. After she told me that, we parted. 

Jerunda.

The Ederu kingdom is at the northwest edge and this huge town exist in an area where there are no climate changes by seasons, and because the border of the demon territory is near, the existing guild is proud of their large size in this human country. The demon race glares at the beastmen now, because there is a temporary peace treatment and merchants visit this town frequently, too. As a result, because the comings and goings of the people are active, inevitable and popular items are flowing to the market. In old days as a result of quarrel with the demon race, this town was ruined, but the vigor of the people's voices didn't die out and now this town be is overflowed. 

“Ooh, I´m tired......talking with another person feels heavy......” 

I spoke frankly what I thought about, when I was alone with Tifal. 

"Would it be better to reside permanently at the remote continent with us alone? E, even so, when we enter the town we need money, because we don't have a guild card. Hand this to the gatekeeper-like person"  

One piece of silver coin is handed to me by Tifal who grabbed it out of her ring. 

“Hmm? So Tifal also has no guild card. Ah Tifa, because I want a firm knife, at first may we go to the blacksmith quickly? The knife I use now is dull......I should have been able to make it myself, but unfortunately only alchemy can be used......” 

I forced a smile while hitting the knife holder worn around the thigh with a tummy. 

"Do you want a knife? Okay, then, shall we first go to the blacksmith?" 

Tifal hands a silver coin to the person who seems to be a gatekeeper and enters the town with me while communicating about our next schedule, which is to go to the blacksmith. 

We who arrived in front of the blacksmith grasp the door handle and push the door open and entered. 

"Welcomeee!!" 

The person who was supposedly the salesclerk said welcome loudly. 

When his face was seen carefully, this person who was working here was my classmate.―――― 

“.....................Whaaat!!” 

I tried to remember his name, but couldn’t remember it. I threw out the question and thoughts that I gave up grandly aloud.
