It's impossible for us to carry the Ghost Wolf Dog (Garm) on our own. So I hired a backer (supporter) beforehand.
The backers (supporters) who were waiting outside came as soon as the abyss (Abyss) was purified. Then, the ghost wolf dog (Gulm) is handily dismantled in order to be placed on multiple carriages.
The blood of the Ghost Wolf Dog (Gulm) was clotted by poison, but it is almost back to its original state because it was dissolved with a special anticoagulant. This would not significantly reduce the value of the material.
Alma and Kouga are interested in the demolition of the Ghost Wolf Dog (Garm) and have been touring. It's not just curiosity, it seems the aim is to understand the structure of the body and use it for the next fight.
As they sat and watched eagerly as they toured, Leon arrived, who had paid his backers (supporters).
"You managed to win."
Leon sat next to me and laughed like trouble.
"Noel, I knew you were amazing. I thought it would be a long way before I could defeat the Wolf Dog."
"It's a team victory. Whoever lacked one couldn't win."
"Right. Storm Winged Snake (Wild Tempest) is a good team. It has the potential to go more up there.... but I was convinced in this fight. I don't think it's possible to be seven stars (Legalia) in six months, no matter how good everyone is."
"Well, let me ask you why?
Leon keeps saying things when I push ahead.
"First of all, we simply don't have enough fighting power. Assuming everyone gets A-ranked within six months, only four of us won't talk about it. I've tried to find a good Explorer, but no one seems to be able to solicit him. or have the leeway and time to raise a newbie."
"No problem. I can count on talent."
"Hugo Coppellius..."
Hugo's story has been shared with Leon. Unlike Alma, the risk of slipping your mouth is low, so you are not worried about sharing information. More importantly, we will not be able to shut up about such an important story to those who are entrusting the Submaster.
"From the information you've gathered, I also think Hugo is guilty of a crime. But are you sure he'll be one of us?
"I will. I know his humanity."
"... let's try to believe that word. Surely, if he's going to be one of us, the issue of force will be solved. But there are other problems. That's a matter of funding. Seven Stars (Legalia) is given the privilege of owning a spacecraft, but conversely, one of the qualifications is financial enough to build one. The minimum amount necessary for its construction is -"
"Eight billion fils, right?
Leon snorts at me for answering earlier.
"Yes, at least 80 billion fils. But Phil 100 million is the reward for the crusade of the Ghost Wolf Dog (Garm) that defeated him at the end of the Death Fight. And the material sale is 300 million phil in today's market. Even if we turn all this over to clan funds, we need to do it two hundred times with simple calculations. Obviously not enough days. More importantly, if we keep fighting like today, our bodies won't have it."
"How was your bank loan?
"I've been listening around, but it looks like we could collect eight billion phils in total right now. So if you work without a day off, you might reach 80 billion fils in critical. But you can't do that, can you?
I don't care what you think.
I get up and stretch.
"Good luck to the best of your possibilities, is that a 30 billion fill? I'll take care of the other 50 billion. There are measures to raise funds."
"Measures, right..."
Leon groans in cold words and looks at me.
"Noel, let's be clear, I don't like your way. I have no favor or loyalty like those two. Still following you because I decided that going up there with you was the surest way to keep the names of the Heavenly Wings Knights. So, only as a business relationship, I'm following you. If I may say so from that standpoint, it is dangerous to rely too much on measures. If we can get through this, if we don't have the strength we deserve, we won't talk."
What Leon is saying is right. In the end, it's the local power that ultimately says things. Even if measures are taken to gain more recognition than strength, an organization cannot be maintained without content commensurate with its position.
"Your goal is to earn the title of Seven Stars (Legalia) at the time of your assessment in six months, and make more achievements in the battle against the Ten Kings of Underworld Prison (Valiant), right? Is that the only way to do it?
I laugh in gaze with Leon.
"Leon, why do you think I made you one of us?
"... because you wanted to take away the achievements of the Heavenly Wings Knights, right?
"There's that too. But the main reason I wanted you is because Explorers (Seekers) are as rare as you are when they combine strength and correctness. But the correctness of it was neglected by other Seekers."
"What does that mean?
"I told you. Storm Winged Snake (Wild Tempest) travels to and from King's Road and Evil Road, Light and Darkness, Different Attributes for the pinnacle. Organizations grow only because of their diversity. My Jesus man alone hardens it, and sooner or later he hits the wall and stops walking. To avoid that, I needed someone like you who could think the opposite of me."
Alma and Kouga don't have the same idea from what to what I have. But those two are obedient to me. That would lead to a renunciation of thought. I mean, if I get stuck, those two don't come up with an idea to fix the problem. That's why I wanted Leon, whose values are different from the ground up.
"Leon, you keep believing in your correctness. That's what you're supposed to do. But trust me more than just being a sub-master. My strategy is not just to get through the scene. So I could beat you."
Leon shut up to my words and eventually nodded with a smile.
"... okay, master. I do not agree with your methods. [M] But I believe in your brains and keep supporting this clan."
"Yes, that's fine with you. By the way..."
I point to Alma and Kouga. The two of them were starting another verbal fight.
"Stop those two fights. Leave it alone and you'll be annoyed by your backers."
"What... am I going to stop it?
"It's also the work of the Submaster"
This is the time, so let's push Leon on all the hassles that have nothing to do with the job. He's a serious man, so he's fit to take care of himself.
"Yes, no, that seems different... Well, fine..."
In fact, Leon stood up in a sighing mix, even though he could have said no. User-friendly guy, really helpful.
"Oh, and tell Alma I'm calling. I need to talk to you two alone."
"Does that have anything to do with your strategy?
"That's right. You want to hear it?
"... I'll stop it. If you ask me, my stomach's gonna hurt."
You don't have to ask me here, you'll find out sooner or later, but I didn't dare go in there. Leon goes to the two of them showing his tired back and arbitrates the fight. And here comes Alma, who took my word for it.
"Noel, Kouga is an idiot after all. Fire me quickly."
"Shut up. You're the same fool. Better stand next to me."
"What? Being a jerk in a place like this is embarrassing your sister on the boulder too...... Can't you wait till you get home?
"Die. Don't give me shit, just come here"
"Noel, it's been cold lately. I was kinder when I was little..."
There's no way you knew me when I was little, swallowing the penetration on the brink. This waste milk idiot is out of hand because she's fine and she's trying to alter history.
When Alma stands next to me, the height difference becomes clear. I'm also shorter, but the height difference from Alma, which is even lower, is about thirty centimeters.
"The ideal is ten centimeters apart. But you can't even ask another guy... Well, if you let them wear high heels, don't figure it out."
"I'll tell you what, I'm growing up. I'm still gonna grow taller."
"You're twenty-one. Growth is running out."
"I mean, why do you care about height?
I laughed at Alma tilting my neck.
"We're throwing a party hosted by Stormwing Snake (Wild Tempest). You can call the rich and the celebrities, have a big party. I'll have Alma serve as my partner."
"Party?... I'm not sure, but it's the usual evil, isn't it? Noel is really bad. I only think bad things and live."
"With which mouth does a guy who only thinks about sexual harassment nag"
"That's a misunderstanding. I only think about sexually harassing Noel."
"That's extra bad! Don't aim at me pinpoint!
Whatever you're joking about, it sucks because I'm gonna get my hands on it for real. Really bad nature.
"Mostly, as I said before, no man is as kind and honest as I am, okay? There's no such thing as a bad guy."
"Noel, the assassin has these words. - The ploy will be 'Makoto'. I mean, honesty is the best tool to fool people."
To Alma's words I said with a nihil grin, I blew it out.
I see, it's a word that pokes at the nature of a person. Indeed, malice alone cannot fool anyone. The words also make sense in today's battle. Because we did everything we could without falsehood, we were able to fool the cunning Ghost Wolf Dog (Gulm).
As Alma sees it, the party I'm about to throw is part of the plan. This hand will push the Stormwing Snake (Wild Tempest) even further.
Let the party guests be my pawns. But I don't move it in bad faith. No one moves in bad faith. Even if it moved, it was meant to. That's why we need to move it with integrity. It's always good, not evil, that moves people's minds.
And for all the fools who have been duped, let them be the basis of the hegemony.
