Chapter 265
Year 7446, Month 9, Day 9
"And, what kind of business do you have?"
I completely reserved Murowa. I took a bit of a nap so my head feels refreshed as well.
There's several tables in the restaurant but we placed a four-person table in the center and had Viruhaima and Basu sit there, while Kamu(Kamain.Mishausu) and I sit across from them. Surrounding all of the members of the {Slaughterers} have assembled including the combat slaves.
Obviously I want everyone to put some psychological pressure on them but I harshly told them not to speak badly or move around a lot. Since I'm a noble who doesn't prefer unrefined behavior I didn't forget to tell everyone to give them a good glare on either Kamu or my sign.
Disrupting that chance partway through would be absurd.
In the first place these two would even quiet a crying child just seeing them, they're {Verdure.Brotherhoods} leader and sub-leader. Just like cheap threats don't have any effect on me it won't have any effect on them either. I'm sure what would be most effective is just completely ignoring them. Particularly, since they're aiming to catch up and overtake us {Slaughterers} if we just act like "we don't particularly care" and remain uninterested.
That's why I said to everyone, "Talk about some random stupid stories at a volume that we can just barely hear. It's no problem even if you laugh just a bit. However, don't take an attitude like you're openly making fun of them. Don't focus your interest over here. Just think we're air." Also, just in case I have Miduchi sitting in the corner while trying not to stand out as I asked her to use {Detect.Lie}. Her surroundings are fortified with Angela and the two former knight slaves.
"Gwine, why are you drinking tea? Eh? Hisu too?"
"Nn~ somehow or other. Ral why don't you stick with tea as well? Miduchi-san, please put in some ice."
"Ice tea with ice in it is delicious too right."
"Denda, Karimu. You did a good job once again this time. It's fine if you eat something with Chire in it."
""Thank you very much. Master.""
"..It's about {Black.Topaz}."
Viruhaima said.
"Could you please tell us the date and situation of the last time you met them?"
Basu supplemented him.
It's not like it's anything to hide so I honestly explained it without covering up anything. In the afternoon three days ago, that we encountered them in front of a monster room on the 7th floor. And then, soon after the combat started, because Rotto(Rosutoru.Mirusutoron) suddenly collapsed they fell into a crisis so we decided to go to their aid as we were keeping an eye on things, and I carefully explained that.
"And, what is that {Mad Treant}..What in the world is that. It even was using magic?"
"If Al-san didn't continue restraining it with {Flame Thrower} then I think it would have been difficult."
"I, hit it with a {Flame Javelin}."
"The northern monster room on the 7th floor huh..Shit, if we can't clear the 7th floor once and then go back from reverse then..Shit!!"
"So Rotto had died.."
Basu made a sad expression as he said it. Viruhaima started cursing while making a bitter expression. By the way aren't you going to eat anything?
And then, I talked about how they turned down our offer to accompany them to the teleport crystal they used to get into the 7th floor. That's right, if they had just let us accompany them then I could have taken the express guide fee right. 7th floor*7 people*100,000Z(Guide fee)*5(Express charge). Roughly 25,000,000 Z is the bare minimum line. It's equivalent to 1~2 days of our earnings on the 7th floor. It's not particularly expensive. I'm sure they can afford it.
Mu, thinking about it like this and I feel like that fee setting is considerably balanced for things around the 7th floor as well.
"Jeru, do you want to go to Rukuso later?"
"No, I'd rather not..Also, a cheap place liek Rukuso, it's almost like going to get a disease."
"Ah, after all that's the case? Last month I requested a long sword from Fuggusu Sword Merchant so I'm a bit low on funds."
"Then honestly just don't go..Ah, Misu, after this, want to go drinking for a bit?"
"Was there anyone else injured?"
Basu made a concerned expression again.
"Kaku-san and Baru-san had some light injuries, Roru-san(Roreiru.Naruzomerin) seemed to have some light bruises. It wasn't anything significant."
While I was talking, Kamu was biting into a Baldoggie with an unconcerned face and washing it down with some bean tea. I bit into a Kazotto with lots of msutard on it and drank some bean tea as well. Delicious.
"Come to think of it where did Ruttsu go?"
"Isn't it to the toilet?"
"He sure has to piss a lot right. Even today on the 4th floor~"
"Really, stop with that during a meal."
"What about Rotto's corpse? N..Nn!!..Did they just take out the magic stone?"
Viruhaima said. It seems he's a bit irritated. He started obviously coughing out loud as well.
