Episode 487: Shadows and History of Yarlan

"... hey, can you let us go home alive?

It's about this time, and I tried to ask you the most straightforward way I could think of.

It's a pain in the ass to ask around and get subtle answers, and I honestly thought I'd answer that if you wouldn't let me go home.

And Jean the Long curled his eyes, and blew them out,

"... pup. What, you cared about that? Don't worry, I'm going home... you're Wolf's favorite, aren't you? If I turn you off like that, I don't know what I'm gonna see."

I answered that.

"... Wolf is yours..."

When she tries to ask me what I care about, Jean predicts ahead and immediately shakes her neck sideways.

"No, I don't know that guy. I don't mind telling you anything, but if I do, I'll have more work for him. He's pretty serious about that, isn't he? I don't know if I can put any more strain on you... but it's not what I could have said."

Apparently, Wolf didn't know Jean was the head of the organization.

That's surprising. I thought it was something I knew.

No, I know, but I'm pretending not to know, I wonder if it's possible.

Wolf is such a man.

I don't know if I'll ask him in person around there... well, let's not really step in.

I feel amazing that I'm going to be a snake.

In order not to carry the extra, I also pretend not to know as much as possible......

Oh, I see, Wolf may be feeling this way too and shut up, comes the pin.

I just won't be sure.

Something, unless there's more to it, ha.

"Sure... I came all the way to King's Capital this time when he asked me to pick you up. I know this organization is important, but I want you to finish your work and come to Malt with us."

"Oh, did you? Haven't heard that yet... I told Wolf to come directly. I want to hear more about Marto."

"Is that... about the labyrinth?

"Oh. There's the Tower and the Academy guys going over there right now, right? That's nothing to do with you guys, either. So..."

Hmm?

What will it be?

It has something to do with why we were targeted...?

"Well, fine. There are a lot of stories to explain for now. There will be some from you. Shall we move the place? You'd better ask your buddies along, wouldn't you?

Jean says so and shows the Lorraines inside the arena.

I nodded, headed to the edge of the audience, and then signaled Lorraine and the others to go back.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... you didn't notice any signs"

That's what Lorraine said to me as she looked at Jean's back.

The Jean is leading the way and walking down the aisle in the arena.

Climb from the basement to the ground and further up.

Jean's office room is on the top floor of this arena.

They say there is also a VIP room for royalty and nobility, where you can enjoy a relaxing view of the arena on the ground part.

Even the average person says it's possible to watch it from there, but he says it's independent of every room and he needs to pay a year's rent to see it from there.

When I asked about the price, I usually thought it would be much better to look downstairs.

In the first place, I would feel elegant in places, but I feel like it would be a little too far away if I actually watched the game.

They also have telescopic magic props and so on, rather they look good, but as far as I'm concerned, I want to see them raw.

Is that the kind of thing that people tend to do?

I don't know.

"I didn't notice either, and you didn't notice Sprigan, did you?

Walking with Jean is me, Lorraine, and Sprigan.

The other three...... Goblin and Vasa, Juana remained in that underground arena.

Juana said she would practice the ancient magic she had learned from Lorraine, so that Vasa could perform the magic wall manipulation of the underground arena.

It seems subtle that Juana will actually be able to use that ancient magic.

So not really, but Juana said she would also make that improvement from now on, as she was pointing out a flaw in demon-sucking armor that Lorraine thought could be improved soon.

I guess Juana has a researcher temperament similar to Lorraine's with that too.

Because of the way it appeared and its personality, I thought it was a little ridiculous that I often said "Demon Wisdom" and so on, but I reviewed that it might not be quite wrong.

"I had no idea. Well, I don't have a choice. This is not the kind of person you are. Mostly, the way I joined this organization was horrible."

"You went in looking for a profession other than smashing it, didn't you? I just thought I'd have company."

I was saying that.

But this seems subtly different.

"I'm not mistaken, but I didn't normally look for it and find it. I fought in the arena to earn some money and was looking for a normal job... and one day, a strange man talked to me. They said," Why don't you use that power? "Those guys were pretty good at the time. Tell them to put it under themselves. The bandit's head, the aristocratic use run... but I couldn't find it interesting for that. But it wasn't then. said the man. There's a lot of people out there."

"I knew when I said" buddy "..."

"Yes, the Genius. At the time, I thought my powers were heterogeneous, but I didn't know they were alien. There are not many decent people who are studying it, and for normal people, it's a force that is not involved. Besides, the power was much weaker than it is now. It's a short time to be a giant, usually as big as your hands and feet. Still, his strength far surpassed normal people, so he couldn't lose in the arena..."

After all, the feeling that "Genius" is not a convenient force to be strong without any drilling seemed right.

Still this old man seems to have been out of standard since that time......

The old man goes on.

"I don't know what it means to be called a" buddy. "I said no... then the man would take me down without question. Somewhere they took me and told me what the Fellow was like. I was shown those who cause paranormal phenomena without magic, chi, or holy chi... and I thought it would be. After that, with the guy and his buddies, we're gonna build an organization... and we're not going to do this anymore."
