World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

Episode 136: Clothes Shop and Pawn Shop/White Leap

Leaving the workshop for Boutique Corleone - the shop still seems to be thriving today. The boy's clerk was accounting, there was another female clerk, and he was just finishing his customer service.

"Excuse me, is there a shopkeeper, Luca?

"Oh, I hear you talking, you're the Atobe who ordered the order suit. The shop owner is working on the suit in a nearby workshop, so if you want to tell me, I will take it here."

If that's the case, is it hard to force him out - but if that means having dinner with you, maybe you can think about it.

"Oh, what an odd encounter, Alicht. It's good to see you here."

"Oh, Mr. Luca...... just fine. I'm sorry, you were asked to go back to making your suit as soon as you got home from the labyrinth."

"It's okay, this is how you're here to pick up your forgotten things. You don't forget the sewing gear to use your skills, do you? Lauro, can you get me some?

"Yes, Brother Luca!

If you look closely, he's a boy who looks a lot like Mr. Luca - he strokes his cheek and looks a little embarrassed.

"My brother Atashi. Growth is cruel because when you grow up, you're like a rat."

"That's not true, Lauro, you admire Mr. Luca just because you saw it"

"Really? Well, considering when I was reincarnated, I'm glad you're getting better and bigger... oh my god, I used to talk about it from the height of the day"

How long ago did Mr. Luca and his brothers reincarnate - and under what circumstances - do you ever hear that one day?

"Susanna, I'm sorry you're away. Do you sell the new clothes you put out?

"Yes, the tunic came out right away, so I'd like to make some extra when the store goes up..."

"Don't push yourself too hard, because you work too hard. Sleep well at night when you can make good clothes."

"Thank you, Store Manager"

While we're talking, Lauro, you come back and give Mr. Luca the tools. Upon receiving it, Mr. Luca sneezed and stroked his elderly away brother's head.

"So, Alicht. It's still gonna take some time for the suit to finish, but what's going on? If you want to thank me earlier, don't worry, I enjoyed you too."

"I was wondering if we could have dinner together today. If it's a family reunion, you can't give it water."

"Brother, I'll be fine. I'm leaving a message with everyone, so just go."

Luca and the others seem to live not only with their brothers, but also with the people in the store - when it comes to the Corleone family, that overseas film is increasingly remembered.

"Well, I guess I'll sweeten it to your word. What time is the rendezvous?

"Uh, I'm thinking at about seven o'clock at night. Mr. Luca, is there a store you'd like to go to?

"Hey... I'm talking about Alicht, so I'm going to call quite a few other people besides the party members. There's a Belgian restaurant near here, did you go there?

"No, you haven't gone yet"

"There's a menu the girls are going to like, so shall we do it there? It's Atashi's destination, so I'll make an appointment for you before you go back to the workshop. Can I have a room for twenty or so? 'Cause if there's more than ten of us, there's only that room."

"Yes, please"

Again, people who live in District 7 know the store well - I manipulated my license to display a map of District 7 and asked Luca to tell me where it was and write it down. I may be around a little bit about the time, but at 7: 00 at night, I mounted the promise, and I left the store behind.

◆ ◇ ◆

Leaving Boutique Corleone into the back alley, I visited "Seven Dream Inn".

"Hello... Dear Atobe, you're here. How are you guys doing?

"Yes, thanks to you... Siori and Takuma, thank you for your help in The Beach of Setting Yang"

"I could barely do anything, but I'm glad Takuma seemed to be able to help. When I got back, it was the same... but for the first time, Takuma showed her will that way."

You perceived our crisis - is that a subhuman-specific inquiry? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure Mr. Takuma helped me defeat the roaches.

…………

"Looks like Takuma's welcome, too. You remember exactly how Atobe found the ring."

"I'm glad they found me. Do you have a meetup?"

Mr. Cioli laughs at hiding his mouth with a fan. And as I noticed something, I put my hand on my sleeve and took out another fan.

"When Atobe and the others eventually went up to District Six, it wasn't a big deal, but I wanted to send them a different one. There will be a 'witch' girl at your party."

"Give this fan to Suzuna...?

"Yeah. I think 'Witch' will learn to dance, so having a fan then will enhance the effectiveness of the dance. Would you take it if I could?

"Okay, I'll give it to Suzuna. Thank you, Mr. Siori."

I didn't expect you to just come into distress, but even think about something else - and then Mr. Ciori even thought about Suzuna's skill.

"When I run a pawnshop, a lot of customers want me to pick up the grass straight from the store. That's not how treasures like those in the Black Box are brought in, but there may be items that can help Atobe."

"That bothers me...... yes, my party Madoka is a 'merchant', so if Mr. Ciori is a member of a merchant union, I think I can get in touch with him"

"When something good comes in, you just have to let Madoka know. All right. We can send goods to another district via the union... It's a hassle to go and notify the arrival of the goods until we make a 'special agreement'..."

"Ah... right, you had that hand. It would be very helpful if you could make a" special deal "with Mr. Cioli's shop."

I may sign up for a 'special contract' for all the stores I took care of as it is, but I don't have a particular problem with it. Sometimes you won't even be able to meet a store that wants to enter into an exclusive contract because you can't sign up if the frame isn't available, but that's when it is.

"... Atobe-sama seemed like a beginner at first, but quite a crowd."

"Yes, no... I thought I was lonely when I went to a different neighborhood with the store I took care of. I'm glad you told me about the" Special Agreement. "

"Phew... sorry, I'm happy too, but I mean it. That's why my brother's worried about me being single. I'm not gonna say anything, but somehow I know."

…………

Takuma stands like a statue - Mr. Siori smiled bitterly, fixed his kimono collar and looked at me again.

"... how old was Master Atobe? I thought I was older."

"I'm twenty-nine, right? Around Misaki, I'm not old enough to be called my uncle."

"Pfft... I think it's too early for Atobe."

I'm also somewhat relieved to hear you say that, but I don't know how old you are to be asked to settle down. Even if they don't call me uncle, I want to be seen as a single adult.

"Nevertheless, you were your brother more than me... if you were my sister Farma, think of yourself as being older... I need to tell you later"

Mr. Farma sees me like a brother, so it was the idea that I could flush my back off - but how does it change in her when she finds out I'm older?

I don't think Mr. Pharma will be staying in our quarters, so I'll make sure to explain when the situation is right again. I don't know if that's a good idea or a bad idea.

◆ ◇ ◆

Mr. Siori and the others were to come too, so I told them where and when the store was, and they came out.

"Ya. Did I say Alicht? Ellie's party leader."

I was just trying to get out of the back street to the surface, and I can speak up - it was a woman in a white cape who kept her back on the building wall.

"Are you... sure it was Mr. Shirone? What are you doing here?

"I thought it was boring to just look at Ellie's face and go home. Why don't we talk for a second?

Looking at it again, it looks older than Misaki or Suzuna, but it doesn't even have the atmosphere of being an adult.

I still have eyes like a child I can't get out of a prank lover - long white hair under the hood and golden eyes. But what's behind those eyes is creepy enough to know the bottom.

"Even if they suddenly say they want to talk. I can't stop by, either."

"Are you still mad? That's right, that was kind of a bad impression, wasn't it? But I can't help it, because if I have to teach Ellie that I tend to dream about, she's gonna die one day."

I thought you were going to apologize, too, but the only thing that the word still has is malice. That's why I laugh innocently and say it, so I still don't think Elitia can make it easy for me to see her.

"We will never let Elitia die. And her goal is our goal."

"Thanks to Alicht, it looks like Ellie has become much brighter. Because when I was in the 'Brigade', I was floating amongst members close to my age. The captain gave me a" sealed weapon "even though I had a low level, and I couldn't use it, so my nickname was" Sword of Death. "

"Well, isn't the captain... an elitist's family?

"Yes, Elitia's brother. I have a father, but since I was reincarnated, I mean meritocracy, and I follow your brother's policy. That's how you can be distorted after coming to Labyrinth Country, when you reincarnate with your family."

I say the word 'distorted' in a heartfelt and enjoyable way - Sirone doesn't mean anything only to elitists.

When I found that out, I felt reckless to ride the provocation. Even if I get angry, I guess Shirone just gets funny.

"One day when we even go to the district where the 'Brigade' is located, we serve our purpose without thinking about it. That's all I can say right now."

"Fuck... you think you're gonna lose if you get on the invite? I like people with that kind of pride. So do I think the captain."

"... I can't really say I have a hobby that I meant to see people's minds that way"

"I'm sorry. If you don't want to get angry there, I was just taking it personally with the prospective Nashi. Pass, Alicht."

What makes you pass - that you're soliciting me to the 'White Night Brigade'?

"People like Alicht can hardly move to other parties, can they? But we've pulled them out, too. Up to thirty, now Ellie and two are out and twenty-seven. That's why you want three...... two avant-gardes and one rear guard. I wouldn't say there are two more of them, but Alicht would be on the regular right away..."

"Unfortunately, I never move parties. Hit the other one."

Shake your shoulders and laugh, as Sirone expected the answer - and.

She approaches me and whispers in a small voice.

"By the next time I see you, think about it. Come see me whenever you change your mind."

I haven't given up at all - so much so that I wonder why that is, that Shirone is holding me captive.

Looking back, Sirone was already nowhere to be seen. And at some point, there's a piece of paper in my hand.

(When... what the hell did you do...?

The pieces of paper bear the address of the dormitory and the name of the building. I had no idea when it was gripped - no sign of using the skill, or even looking at the license.

Suppose you used the same cover-up skills as Gray. Or were you unable to notice due to differences in abilities due to level differences?

"Ah... Brother Alicht! Sister Lyoko, Brother Alicht is here!

"Doctor...... you also needed a teacher. When we first met in the labyrinth, we tried to come to the Seven Dream Inn."

Kaed and Ibuki come this way from the direction Sirone walked away from. Mr. Lyoko and Anna also showed themselves from behind.

"Guys, that's an odd encounter... thanks for earlier, thanks for the help"

"Uh, this one arrived after it was all over, and I'm a little sorry I did it."

"Gray got caught, didn't he? Good...... even walking around the city someone like Gray's buddy called out and it was a little rough. Sister Lyoko's lying around, so I'm worried I'll let her go."

"Oh, that's not true... I'm an adult, too, so I won't follow you as much as I've been forced to"

"... Alicht, what is it? He doesn't seem to have a good complexion..."

Anna looks up at me and says - she reaches down to measure the heat, and a limp hand touches her forehead.

"Oh, no... guys, did I look like a woman with a white cape"

"Yeah, right there...... what did I do like I was laughing, but did I know Brother Alicht? How nice of you to say hello."

"No, that's okay. We don't know each other as well... honestly, it's not a friendly relationship."

I can warn the four of 'Four Seasons' to stay away from Shirone - but even if I tell them to be careful at a stage where Shirone hasn't done anything yet, it just makes them anxious.

- But it's more dangerous not to say anything at all. I reconsidered, and I chose to speak carefully.

"That white cape woman used to explore in the same group as Elitia. But I'm not very close... and as far as I'm concerned, I don't want to be too close to elite right now."

I am angry at the person who says things like provoking and scratching when I am reunited with elitists. But just to avoid it because it's sinister, it's just sending the problem ahead. Any of this has to be resolved, but we have to think carefully about what to do.

"If that's what Brother Alicht says, we need to be careful."

"If you're fighting, it's hard to make up right away..."

"... if there is a trigger, can the relationship change? It's the right way to shake yourself not to dare face to face with someone who doesn't fit."

There are still many parts of the relationship between elitists and brigades that I haven't seen either. Instead of trying to interfere, it would be best to ask when Elitia wants to talk.

But when it comes to Sirone, it just doesn't mean we wait passively. The other side is trying to do something because if you look at the attitude, it's obvious - she's still in this district for a reason, I guess.

"I'm sorry, I'm worried about you... but, Mr. Lyoko, do you have any plans for the evening?

"What... are you planning on doing? With these kids, I'm going to make a buyout and self-cater, but if Alicht will tell me how..."

"Sister Lyoko, I don't know. If your brother were to ask you out, wouldn't all of us?

"Oh, yeah, right. Good, I thought I'd just go on a date with my sister Lyoko."

"... Alicht, Lyoko is not immune, so it would be helpful if you could consider the area"

"Yes, no, not..."

I told Mr Ceres that I would also call him to eat, and I asked him again if the four of them would come - and they agreed to join me in two replies.
