A Misunderstood Mentor
Seventeen stories, another misidentification.
Three days had passed since the arrival of King Goblin, and it had been a long time since he had had had a peaceful day with nothing in particular.
"It's a pot of mushrooms and chicken dumplings this afternoon. The mushrooms were brought to me by Chiharu."
"Yeah, Chiharu, take it"
Surround the pan with the three of you and the Karna of the Devil's Sword.
Chihal has a fixed position on my lap, and Leia sitting in the front stares jealously.
"Sounds good, can you just sprinkle the juice later, please?
"It's hard to wash it later, so reject it."
Still, let the atmosphere alone and Karna's share depend on the vessel.
It became like an offering, but Karna stopped saying anything if she was satisfied.
A peaceful afternoon passes.
I had already completely forgotten about the letter from the Decathlon Club.
"Will you leave me alone?
Until I heard that voice.
Leia was surprised and jumped back.
Until I heard the voice, no one here noticed the presence of that old man.
On my left, on Leia's right, there was a wrinkly old man sitting, thin as a dead tree.
It is naturally swamped among us surrounding the pot.
How long the hell have you been there?
I can't hide my surprise that Leia didn't even feel a sign anyway.
Still, let's pretend to be calm and let the old man have the pot.
"Hey, who are you?"
Put your palm forward and stop Leia from trying to put her hand on Katana.
I knew this old man.
The person you least want to fight.
That's what Nurhachi used to say in the past, old man.
Adventurer Guild Chairman Barbaroy Southa was there.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What is this, crushing the cartilage of a bird in a clutch?"
"Yeah, I also mix crushed rencon, and when I take the starch powder out of the potato with water, I also thicken it. You'll enjoy the texture."
"Uhm, delicious and delicious"
An old man who's going to fall if you push him.
If it just looks like it, everyone would think so.
"Ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) and Alice would be much stronger if only pure strength. But the last thing I want to fight for is Barbaroy."
I've heard how Barbaroy fights to make Nurhachi say so.
Accidental strike.
Use all means to surprise them.
Make yourself look weak, alarmed, kill signs, and strain traps.
And only at that moment when you can be sure to defeat your opponent will you explode to power and finish with a single blow.
If you hadn't listened to Nurhachi, you wouldn't have believed it.
Even I can win like this, Barbaroy looks so weak.
"The twitch, the twitch"
After Chiharu on his knees looked at Barbaroy, he turned away.
"Whoo-hoo, they hated me. Candy, are you there?
"Iriyu"
Take it to take the candy, Chihal, who turns that right away.
I think I hate Barbaroy a lot, just like Nurubee.
"So, what brings you here today? Chairman Barbaroy"
"Oh, yeah, I delivered the announcement from the Decathlon Club the other day, did you see it?
"No, I missed it"
"Open the seal and I'll know."
"Come on, didn't the beast or something open it"
Ridiculous with each other's cheeky faces.
Let's get this straight. Super scary.
"Well, that's..."
For a moment, the signs of Barbaroy become so rare that they are about to disappear. But the next moment.
"I don't have a choice."
Its presence swelled up explosively.
A presence like the sudden appearance of a giant as many as dozens of meters in front of him.
Overwhelming force and heavy pressure surround the cave.
"Whoa!
Stand up so Leia can jump up and pull out Katana.
"What do you want me to do?"
Karna is also taking the liberty of pulling herself out of her sheath and putting out black balls.
"It's a provocation, quiet, both of you"
It was Chihar who said that.
Also an adult voice.
Unlike before, he stares at Barbaroy with a serious look.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to see you react."
Huh, and the sign of Barbaroy gets smaller so that the balloon squeezes.
"I knew it, you twitchy, twitchy"
At the same time, Chihar comes back and hugs me.
Did Leia and Karna settle down too, take their seats again?
"I tried to get a little glimpse of the power of the Lord, but I didn't know you were going to react to that."
"Naturally. Mr. Takumi is not a small vessel that you can measure."
Mr. Leia, don't provoke me.
The vessel is too small to measure.
I just freaked out and couldn't move.
"Well, it's not easy. You're the number one ranked in the Decathlon Club because you're dressed up. I stopped hosting at Alliance headquarters and decided to hold it here."
"What?"
I lose words to too many surprising developments.
"Soon everyone will assemble here. Oh, I don't need tea. My men will do the chores."
I also know very well that I don't like null bees.
He's an inedible grandfather.
He is good at instantly spotting what people don't like and transferring it to execution.
"Then I'm out of the guild. Originally, I was going to retire, so there's nothing untrained about it."
"Mr. Takumi, I thought I could throw away the number one seat in the rankings at all costs. Ha. What a great mindset. Well, even without such a title, the fact that you are the most powerful in the universe is an irreplaceable universal fact."
"You got it, you're right"
Put it over Leia's words and say it in a bit of a eating mood.
I've finished this story already.
Originally, I planned to go to the guild and have it removed from the rankings. I could tell the chairman directly, and it would be convenient to save him time.
"You better not do that."
But Barbaroy grins invincibly as he touches his own chin beard, stretched bright white.
"This time, with the resurrection of our original demon king, we tried to hold this gathering, didn't we?
It did say that.
But don't snort and listen.
"But we have no idea where the Demon King is. All we know is that we were already resurrected ten years ago, and that we are hiding our power and hiding somewhere."
"How does that have anything to do with me quitting the guild?
Barbaroy smiles really happy with that question and points at me.
"Adventurer Ranked # 1 Takumi. The Alliance now suspects the Lord as the Demon King's primary candidate."
Eh?... finally, me, misidentified by the Demon King!?
The most powerful Demon King in the ranking of Adventurers was about to be born now.
