The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

60 – Berserker Chasing the Constellation (4)

“Then everyone, please go.”

I left the guild while being seen off by Leana.

“Wow, that’s really amazing to look at.”

Lucene was impressed as she looked back at the head of a horse attached to the outer wall of the guild.

“How on earth did you catch the water horses? Don’t they burrow in the river bottom and never come out?”

“There are many ways to pull it out.”

Lucene couldn’t help but be amazed when I told her about catching the Suma.

“You really know a lot. Hmm, that’s strange.”

Lucene rummaged around the back of his neck and took out the shredding acid.

“But why don’t you know this?”

“I really don’t know. I’m not a gem appraiser.”

“You really don’t know, right? Huh?”

Lucene urged.

“Aren’t you going to pretend not to know and secretly steal it and sell it later?”

“What am I doing?”

“It’s a joke, a joke!”

Lucene laughed out loud and slapped my shoulder.

It’s so strong that your bones shake and your teeth chatter.

“Anyway, what is that gray-haired girl from earlier?”

“Wizard.”

“It seems like there are a lot of complaints about the distribution of requests?”

“It’s probably because there’s a sudden change. It’s different from what you thought.”

“Aren’t you just angry that I couldn’t go with you?”

“What’s wrong with her? She’s not interested in anything around her. I don’t even know what she’s thinking.”

“This is a bit more stupid than it looks.”

Lucene laughed and messed with my hair.

“Eight! Don’t do it!”

“Doesn’t she like you? Huh? Just by looking at it, it’s clear. From what I can see, it seems like she has an indifferent personality, but it doesn’t seem like she’s completely emotionless.”

“That can’t be possible. It’s because you don’t really know him.”

“Is that right? What do you have? A wizard?”

When she tried to tell Ornette’s identity her, she was silenced.

Lucene is not in a position to say such things yet.

Maybe later, when I completely settle into the guild.

“Anyway, let’s go. Don’t say anything weird.”

“Am I right? That purple chubby girl seems to like you too. It’s only natural to have dark feelings when you live with a talented and handsome man. Haha!”

Lucene laughed heartily like an old man.

Then she suddenly fumbled with my armor.

“But isn’t this Quiratus leather?”

“That’s right.”

“This precious thing? You can’t get it even with money? Of course, women will fall in love with it.”

I know a lot.

Let’s be careful with our words and actions.

* * * * *

We crossed the city and stood in front of a store.

The first floor of a shabby building.

If you look at the signboard that says ‘Dremont Trading Company Schleissy Department’, this is the right place.

This is the office of Patrick, who escorted me on the way from the Empire to Sule.

“Bow your head, Lucene.”

As I was just opening the door and entering, I hurriedly pressed down on Lucene’s shoulder.

The top of Lucene’s head barely passed the door frame.

“Welcome, Mr. Leonard.”

Patrick, who was sitting at the desk, stood up with a friendly smile.

“You look healthy.”

“Isn’t that because I drink the principality’s wine to my heart’s content?”

“This is guild member Lucene.”

Upon introduction, Patrick looked up at Lucene and held out his hand her her her her.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Patrick, head of the Schlesi department at the Dremont Trading Company.”

Oh my.

Lucene’s grip is so strong that you’ll be surprised if you catch her off guard.

But Patrick’s expression didn’t change at all, and didn’t Lucene’s hands turn her white?

“I don’t think I’m the average desk-head office worker.”

Lucene withdrew his hand with an embarrassed smile.

“What are you?”

“A typical desk-headed office worker.”

Patrick didn’t pay any attention to Lucene’s informal language and suggested we sit on the sofa.

“What is that person?”

Lucene asked, rubbing his hand her her, but he didn’t answer.

Just like Ornette, Patrick’s identity cannot be revealed carelessly.

“Do not speak informally to the client.”

“Oh, that’s right. He’s the one who gives the money.”

Meanwhile, Patrick brought a bottle of wine and two glasses.

What wine to start with in the morning?

“It’s not wine, it’s grape juice. I made it myself.”

“Are you Mr. Patrick?”

“Living in such a leisurely place, I also developed hobbies like these.”

I drank the grape juice he poured and it was so delicious. It’s not at the level of a hobby?

“It’s delicious! It’s not, it’s delicious!”

When Lucene shook the already empty glass, Patrick smiled and poured more juice.

While drinking grape juice, I took a quick look inside Patrick’s office.

Bookshelf, desk, sofa and table for customer service.

And various types of armor and weapons that the company handled were displayed on one wall.

They were all shiny, luxurious things.

Like this, it just looks like an ordinary boss’s office.

But this is just a trick.

The real thing is probably over there.

I turned my attention to the large bookshelf behind the seat where Patrick had been sitting until now.

There, a thin fishing line invisible to the ordinary eye was intricately crossed in front of the bookshelf in double and triple directions.

If you touch it without knowing anything, Quarel will shoot out from the hole in the wall.

If not, that thin crack in the ceiling above would open and something would pour out.

“This is a trading company? Are you selling that?”

Lucene pointed to the colorful weapons and armor hanging on the wall.

“Yes, Mr. Lucene. Is there anything you like?”

“No. There isn’t anything. They put it all together to match the assortment, but I can’t see anything that looks right.”

That crazy bitch!?

I can at least recognize that the specimens in Patrick’s office are all worthless.

But thinking it in your head and saying it out loud are completely different things.

But instead of being offended, Patrick just laughed, haha.

“You have good taste. Not everything that is flashy is good.”

Then, Patrick’s eyes turned to the hilt of the Nightrend sword on my waist.

Patrick then spoke while looking at Lucene’s armor and the hammer standing next to the sofa.

“But Mr. Lucene’s armament looks unusual?”

“Oh, this?”

Lucene looked down at the steps of her armored titan

“Want to guess?”

“Hmm. Well, I’m not sure, but that armor probably increases the wearer’s strength and endurance.”

“Oh, right. How did you know?”

“If a woman can move freely even while wearing such heavy body armor, what else can there be?”

With a leisurely smile, Patrick turned his attention to the battle hammer Thundermite.

“Judging by the embossing on the surface and the flowing light, the hammer appears to be capable of making shockwave or lightning-type attacks.”

Patrick, that guy is truly amazing.

It accurately captures the Titan’s walk and Thundermite’s properties.

Do you have to have that level of knowledge to disguise yourself as an employee of a trading company?

Lucene’s eyes widened at Patrick’s answer.

“Then do you know this too?”

Patrick narrowed his eyes at the acidity of the shredder that Lucene took out from the back of her neck.

Surely you don’t know that?

The method of making that item is like an Easter egg that only a very few people know about.

Patrick, who had been looking at it for a while, shook his head again.

“I’m sorry, but I have no idea about that.”

“Is that so…”

Lucene became a bit sullen and put it back into her clothes.

“Now that we all know that Lucene’s armament is great, shall we move on to the request?”

“Good, Mr. Leonard.”

At my suggestion, Patrick spread a map on the table.

Patrick’s request today is this.

A group of bandits appears in the mountains near Shlesi.

It is said that they are routinely looting the trade wagons of the Dremont company that Patrick belongs to.

“Isn’t this the responsibility of the Border Guard?”

“I have an incident that happened earlier, and I would like to give you a request from Mr. Leonard.”

“If that’s the case, thank you very much.”

“I heard from the employees that they are very good at using swords. To put it simply, they are like assassins.”

“That’s right, it’s a bunch of thieves. We’ll resolve everything within today.”

“Mr. Leonard. There is one proviso.”

Patrick smiled as he rolled up a map showing the location of the bandits and handed it to me.

“Please behead every single person without exception.”

“Yes… ?”

“There are six people in total. Please make sure to bring six supplies.”

“Ah, yes. That’s not difficult. Let’s do it.”

Patrick gave us one of his boss’ carriages so we could disguise ourselves like last time.

Lucene took off all his armor and threw it in the luggage compartment to look like an ordinary merchant.

The armor is so heavy that the wheels seem to have collapsed slightly.

As we left Patrick’s office and headed out of town, Lucene, who was sitting in the coach seat, slapped me on the shoulder.

“Hey, Leonard.”

“Why?”

“That person looks so gentle on the outside that he’s really scary?”

“What?”

“No, aren’t you saying we should hunt down all the thieves? No. Isn’t that the only way to make sure we did things right?”

“I don’t know.”

“Hmm, what if we get the wrong person’s head just because we guess the number? Huh? Hey!”

Lucene waved his hand her somewhere.

I saw Celestine walking down the street alone, her purple hair flowing.

“Huh? Manager! Mr. Lucene!”

Celestine smiled goofily and waved her hand this way.

Meanwhile, her chest was bouncing from side to side.

Lucene, who saw that, patted my side and asked.

“Have you ever touched that?”

“I got it. By mistake.”

“Have you ever sucked it?”

“Nothing.”

“Don’t you want to suck it?”

“What crazy things are you talking about?”

“That’s right. A body like that is quite vulgar and lewd. It’s also true that the lower abdomen is slightly protruding. Even if you don’t want it to, it gives off that smell.”

Lucene said, looking back at Celestine who was walking away.

“You’re going to have a hard time every day. Every time I see that, I get upset…”

“Oh, shit! Shut up, really!!”

Lucene laughed brightly and slapped my shoulder.

It really hurts.
