Episode 355: Meet the Old Man

"I don't like it."

That's what the wind sounded like to the soldiers surrounding him. The soldiers are upset by that word, which was returned too lightly, but it is firmly held that the wind sounds should not be followed by uncles you do not know from your parents. The achievements of education had appeared there.

And the wind sounds once again looked over at the soldiers sticking spears out at themselves as giraffes.

(Uh, inconsistent armor)

As far as the wind sounds were concerned, there was no unity in the armor worn by the soldiers surrounding us, and it did not look like it belonged to a regular soldier. It was the captain-like figure in front of me again who showed signs that he could do so much, but I feel that the strength of the other soldiers has not reached that line. The wind-sounding 'dog sense of smell' also felt the difference clearly.

Neither did the wind sound think of setting it up from ourselves in the office of such an adventurer's guild, but there was certainty that the wind sounds would be able to cut through lightly even in battle. In other words, the current situation was not a pinch for the wind sounds.

"So, which one is it?

And the soldiers around them stepped back frightened when they heard that word of wind noise that turned from a surprising look to an extra face. They felt the signs of a terrible beast emanating from the gap in the pure white cloak of the wind.

Jinlai opens his mouth watching the soldiers like that.

"Even for a guard in this city, your gear is falling apart. Let's not even be kingdom soldiers. Are you guys hired by someone?

Jinlai did not consider the soldiers in front of him to be regular, as did the wind noise. If so, I said so with a hit whether it was the adventurers or something hired by someone, but the captain-like person answers the question with a voice up.

"Master Left. We are a militia of the Messi Chamber of Commerce hired by Master Angley. Moving for peace in this city. To protect people like you from sowing black potion."

Zacks, who was behind him, shrugged his face in the words, but the sound of the wind, which was clean and white, never moved. but there was a catch against the contents of the word.

(Um, is Mr. Angley trying to confiscate the black potion?

I wonder if that's important information.

Apparently the soldiers surrounding the wind sounds are those hired by Angley Messi. And they seem to be trying to catch those in possession of the black potion in the city of Oomin.

Summarizing the story, Angley, who seemed to be connected to the devil, seems to be confiscating the black potion that he thinks the devil is spreading.

(What does that mean?

Fit? Jinlai stepped forward and opened his mouth next to the wind noise he thinks.

"I see. At the moment, however, black potion is not an embargoed one. That's not why we're being taken."

The militia captain did not say no to the words of Jinlai. Neither Jinlai nor Womin's city circumstances were bright, and the word itself now was just a camouflage. But I guess the lack of an answer to that means that black potion is still not forbidden in this city.

And if they usually told their opponents so far, it would have been common for them in the militias to be restrained and made to obey at arm's length too. But the opponents are the wind sounds. The soldiers are the ones who have lived in battle. I feel it's my skin that can't win a fight. But the captain stays on the spot and shows no will to retreat. And after a slight glue,

"Coming in."

Suddenly, someone opened the door to the office from outside and came in.

"Oh... Dear Oogie?

And the captain of the private soldier was shouting surprises when he saw the person.

It was one old man who came in from the outside. The old man had closed his eyes and was wearing a white kimono. And I'm holding it in that hand...

(Knife...?

As the wind murmured so in his heart, what the old man had was a sheath and pattern, perhaps a knife, made of white wood. And the wind sounds, from his outfit, his face, and the weapon he had, thought that the old man in front of him would be a man of Japanese.

"Dear Oogie. Why are you here... because you're here?

And the captain spoke to the old man named Oogie with a certain attitude, but Oogie would not answer the captain's question, but would only tell him what to tell him.

"You. You're wrong."

"What?"

The captain raises a loose voice between the words of the Oogie. But Oogie doesn't particularly care and keeps talking.

"Those people aren't members of Rank B" Zacks Raven "or Rank C" Sword Rider, "they're a" white bunch "that's now a Rank S party. And they are the guests of Lord Angley. If we were to restrain him, we would have had a lot of problems."

"What the hell!?

The captain turned his eyes round to the words, and saw the wind sounds. I've also heard the captain name "White Bunch," but the problem was that the wind sounds were rank s s parties. Rank S says it has enough power to destroy one city. If you get in a bad mood, you don't know what the harm will be.

"Other parties are just hired. Especially if you don't have to take him."

Saying so, Ougi looks around at the adventurers who were surrounded by the soldiers and turns to Zacks again. My eyes are still closed, but I felt Zacks had my gaze pointed at me by an old man. There was a strange feeling there that was peeking deep into my heart.

The old man then says, "Well, okay," followed by a voice to Louise.

"Can you give me what you have later?

"I wonder what, Grandpa?

Louise also gave it back like that with her neck tilted, not knowing what to think about this old man who suddenly appeared. It wasn't delusional, Louise didn't know what she was actually referring to. But Oogie doesn't mind continuing the conversation.

"I'm telling you, I want you to give me the black potion ingredient I'm putting in that pocket. The seal seems to be tight."

Unexpectedly, Louise said, "Ma!?" He raised his voice.

Louise did now possess something that would be an element of black potion pulled out of Zacks. And he also had a strict sealing process to keep it from moving. Louise couldn't hide her surprise purely because she pointed it out. So Louise asks.

"Grandpa, who is it?

Ougi also answered the question honestly.

"Fan/Zen Shiro. Lord Angley's business partner. The eagle"

"... Ougi Zenjwulow?

Jinlai shrugged his name and tilted his neck.

And the old man turns his face to the captain and speaks.

"Well, that's enough here. Can you leave the rest to me?

The captain also bows his head and acknowledges the words of the eagle. Angley Guests to Rank S Party. I guess those two facts were too heavy for the captain. After Oogie told him that, the captain had a sigh of relief.

And then Oogie turned to the wind sound.

"Then will the wind noises follow me?

The wind sounds were slightly uncomfortable with the intonation of the way it was called, but there were more things to be heard than that.

"Follow me. Where?

"This is Lord Angley's mansion. You're here to see Lord Angley, aren't you?

The wind can only snort when told so. As the old man put it, the wind sounds came to see Angley. Unlike the order of a private soldier who came all of a sudden, there was no reason to say no to the wind noises if they meant to meet the intended person.

And the wind sounds, which were guided by Oogie, led him to visit the Angley Messi mansion in the back of the city.
