The Strongest Clan’s Master Is the Weakest and Most Evil Support Class ~Even with a Fail Job「Talker」, with My Brains and Dependable Allies’ Abilities, I’m the World’s Strongest Seeker~
Episode 67: Loyal Dogs and Waste Dogs Are Heavy on Paper
The Storm-Winged Snake (Wild Tempest) was set to increase its reputation by crusading the Demon King (Lord). The rewards earned are also enormous, making them both famous as major clans.
If the clan becomes famous, it can also sell the names of its members. Noel, the master, and each member had become an admirable (idol) for those who lived in the Empire.
One of the most popular is Kouga. A mysterious background as a swordsman from an island country in the Far East, an exotic and righteous face and, above all, an easy position to understand the activity of a cutter. It's weirder not to be popular.
Previously, Alma, the same cutter, was more popular. The compelling and luscious appearance that exited despite his low height, the position of a red dot in the clan, and then the gap between strong arms are the reasons for his popularity.
But when it spread through newspaper interviews that it was Kouga who stabbed the last stop in this Demon King (Road) crusade, the number of fans, both men and women, began to explode. The popularity of the other members is also tremendous, but the number of fans is overwhelmingly kouga on top. Enough to now rank third in the rankings of men who want to be held.
Of course, Noel, the master, is also highly popular. Feminine appearance, masterful discourse, master but youngest position, those gaps are Noel's charm.
But Noel is a guard. Besides, it's a support position (buffer). Compared to the avant-garde position that comes forward and fights bravely, it really lacks Hua. Though highly rated by peers who can see Noel's value, the average person's fans were less than the rest. After all, people prefer an understandable strength.
Kouga became one of the most popular in the clan. Walking through the city, yellow cheers fly and lots of fans get signed. It's not once or twice that a beautiful woman asked me to socialize. Everyone is in a position to envy a man.
But that's why Kouga never grew. I don't lack fan service because people are good, but I politely refuse to socialize with them all from the opposite sex. Also, even with huge rewards, I wouldn't be scattered like Alma, and I was always concerned about qualitative promises.
Kouga understood. He said he owed everything to Noel to have himself now. I'm not despising myself. Alma, Leon, and Hugo, I don't think I'm inferior to them, and I rather have the temper to be stronger than anyone else.
But Kouga was a single sword before he was a single Seeker. And it is Noel, the Lord chosen by Kouga, who waves the sword.
"Noel, I want to see you on your side grabbing your dreams. If you're looking for a fierce wolf, that's the way to go. So, please. Make me one of you."
I'll never forget what I said that day. Kouga was able to be strong - he was determined that he should be strong because Noel was there. So I thought that the fame I have now is not my own, it's all Noel's.
Loyalty - or friendship. Noel is a horrible man who is inhuman and has no mercy for his people, but Kouga doesn't get lost walking with him. That's all it's worth, Noel.
Most of all, just because I admire you doesn't mean that you live from what Noel thinks. Kouga has the life of Kouga. Kouga works part-time at a boarding house, but Noel doesn't think well. Sometimes I'm told to quit. Yet they don't quit and continue, because that's what Kouga wants.
"What, I want your daughter to work for us!?
Kouga dropped the bread he had in his hand, not surprisingly. When I was eating a break at the silver kiln pavilion, a boarding house and part-time destination, and a bribe dish, I mentioned that Ursula, the woman shopkeeper, was outrageous.
"Kouga, you said you didn't have a clerk before. So I was wondering if you could hire Naina as a clerk. What do you say?"
"I don't care what they say..."
Kouga saw Nena sitting next to Ursula. They are mother and daughter.
Ursula is a middle-aged woman with a good width. Always a loud voice and a luxurious way to laugh, a typical Lower Town woman general. It's a man's win and dependable.
But my daughter Naina is such a beautiful, delicate girl. Small, with white hair stretched up to the waist wrapped together in a bow. Although the facial parts are similar to Ursula's if you look closely, I don't think the blood is connected all the time.
Different in appearance as well as character, Naena rarely puts her emotions on the table against a pleasant and messy Ursula. Very oligarchy personality. Even though we are still talking about ourselves, we continue to eat faceless.
"... it's a sudden story. In the first place, you want me to work for you without you?
"'Cause this girl can't take over the store. You know Kouga, don't you? That this girl is a terrible cook."
"You can't deny it."
Kouga laughed bitterly as he thought it was bad for Naina.
Ursula's job function is as a cook. Good cooking and skills to improve the quality of the finished product. And my daughter, Naina, is also a cook. But her cooking is, clearly, unpleasant. It doesn't look bad and I can use my skills, but it tasted fatally bad. I also remember having been fed Kouga only once, but spitting it out the moment I put it in my mouth.
Function (job) is your potential - that is, your talent - but it's up to you to use it. Some people do not like contention even when battle-based functions (jobs) are expressed, while others are cooks but do not care about flavoring. Unfortunately, that's what Naina is.
"Come on, you want me to do another job."
The silver kiln pavilion is more dominant in the dining room than in the inn. Cheap, fast, many, delicious is for sale. Even if Naina, who is a bad cook, takes over the shop, her feet will soon be distant and crumbling.
"What are we going to do with Konjo's sales?
It's a store with a lot of customers. If Naina is gone, she won't be able to stand up. Even Kouga can't go out to the store when he has a Seeker job.
"We're going to cut back on business hours. If Naina's going to work, she can afford it financially. Once in a while, if you two could help me, that would make it happen."
"I see."
"I think this girl is suitable for clerks because she's good at calculations, but as you can see, she doesn't have any affection. They're going to drop me at the interview."
Ursula laughed as troubled and stroked Nena's head with those big hands. Because of the large physique difference, every time Ursula moves her hand, Nena's neck leans back, forth, left, and right.
"Mother, I can take your neck"
"Oh, I'm sorry"
Ursula let go of her hand to Naina's grumpy voice.
"You're really luxurious. So I told you to drink milk every day."
"I hate milk"
"I've always liked and disliked you a lot, or because of your strong food restraints..."
Ursula sighed and glanced back at Kouga.
"I'm sorry I'm such a daughter, but could you keep your mouth shut for Mr. Master? Whatever your personality is, you're a daughter who does her job perfectly, so I don't think you're going to lose anything by hiring her."
"It's the mountains that I want to help, Noe... but my parents don't seem to be willing to hire clerks at the moment."
It's Noel's policy that he doesn't want anyone else to know about his feelings right now. I would hire any one of them, but even then, Noel would be a trustworthy one. He seemed rather cautious because of financial trouble with his previous buddy. I know Nena is serious about her job, but I don't think Noel would allow it where Kouga mouthed her.
"You can't be here. You can't help me."
"Do something there! Help me, Kouga!
"Hey, in a whirlpool of eagles..."
"Kouga is the only one I know who works in a decent place. My husband hasn't died in a while, and it's just not worth drinking to me about a man coming to my guests. There's no one I can count on but Kouga."
"If it's a decent place, I think we should stop it."
"To? Why?
"Ah.... yes, not now! Ugh, we're, like, decent, decent!
Kouga hastily corrected the inadvertently leaked words.
Since the prison bombing, Stormwing Snakes (Wild Tempest) have been celebrated as heroes. I used to have a lot of bad reviews, but now I only hear good stories like lies. Noel bought each newspaper to be so. So if I say bad things and make my clan image worse, Noel will definitely be furious. Imagining an angry Noel, Kouga was a less coarse phase of fear.
"In the first place, what does your daughter think? You want to work for us?
When Kouga spoke to Naena, Naena put the bread she was eating on a plate.
"I can work anywhere"
"Don't you have something you want to do?
"Nothing in particular."
"Ho, ho..."
Returned pale, Kouga got in trouble. Nena is both clever and smart. But I'm losing a lot of money because of this personality. Now, it's difficult to mouth it.
"This, silly girl!
Ursula, angry at Nena's attitude, slapped that head flat.
"... Mother, it hurts"
"I slapped you, so you've decided it hurts! Because, Kouga's listening to me, why are you always like that!
"... your mother isn't just saying she can't"
"What!?
"Hey, nothing..."
Naina the boulder also seems vulnerable to angry Ursula. I'm holding my head with both hands and pulling my neck in. Seeing such mother-daughter exchanges, Kouga leaked a sneaky laugh.
Kouga likes this mother and daughter. The way the two of us lived in support of each other was dazzling to Kouga, abandoned by her parents. And it was warm.
Prices have been rising recently in the case of Ten Kings of Underworld Prison (Valiant), which has had a negative impact on the management of the store. The number of customers had not decreased, and the price of the menu had increased, but the overall market was nonetheless wrinkled and less profitable than usual.
That's why Ursula is worried about her daughter. Forced but all for Naena. I know exactly how much she cares about her daughter.
"... oh, okay. I'll talk to my parents about the clerk."
"What! Is that true!?
Ursula let her face shine as Kouga laughed and nodded.
"Kouga, I'll be thankful!
"But I don't know what our parents would say - is that right!?
In the middle of the word, Kouga screams of pain. Because Ursula, who was impressed, hugged Kouga with her rigid arms.
"Mrs. General, it breaks. It breaks!
"Oh, I'm sorry! Glad to hear it. Look, Nena, thank you too."
Ursula moved away from Kouga and urged Nena.
"... thank you, Mr. Kouga"
As usual, he has no discouragement and an untouched voice, but Nena's cheeks were tiny and red-stained. Even Naina has human feelings. I was just a little happy with Kouga for such a natural thing.
But at the same time, there was great anxiety. That's about Noel, of course. Even though I'm not feeling good about part-time work, would you suddenly tell me you want me to hire someone I know to fulfill and forgive you?
"... well, we'll figure it out"
Kouga decided to think optimistically, but the voice was trembling.
If you wish, I only want to spare castration......
