108 – 4. Silence in the Helmet (24)

24.

Do not take pictures. Go away. If there had been a camera in this world, I would have been repeating that. The adventurers who had just been engrossed in betting with me covering their faces rushed to the table in an instant. Oh, please go away.

“Nice to meet you! ‘Jet-black nobleman’ ball! I am… ….”

“This is Jin.”

“Huh?”

“Please call me Jin. No two names.”

I made a threat with a bloody expression. If you call me by that nickname one more time, I’ll curse you to slip on the soles of your shoes. However, the dwarf warrior smiled broadly and held out her hand, probably thinking it was a sign of her closeness.

“Yes! My name is Fernias Stonebeard! He is leading the Red Adventurer Party .”

Red? Then, is it one of the whitest adventurers who only exist in the royal capital? I thought she was a strong warrior, but I didn’t expect to meet her easily in a place like this. Hiding my shocked expression, I took his hand and he pulled me with one arm.

“Ah, yes. Nice to meet you…….”

“Hmm!”

He slipped my hand, turned his arm around, then released it admiringly.

“I heard that you are a wizard, but for a human, your physique is not bad! As long as you gain 20 kilos in weight, you will be able to use it as a warrior!”

If you weigh 20kg more, wouldn’t you just be a different person? I didn’t want to be like an adventurer. I wish I had some abs. I never thought of her naked body at this moment. If you don’t have it, you feel like you’re losing as a man.

At that time, the Lizard Man, who had lost to Alphonse, appeared behind him, tapping the floor with his tail. He is over 190 cm tall, and because of his heavy tail, he looks heavier than Alphonse. He spoke in a loud voice as if he were acquainted with the dwarves, as if scolding him.

“Ivosch! I didn’t tell you that it’s rude to say that to a wizard! This is why non-spell users are called ignorant.”

“What!?”

“My brother excused me. As you can see, I’m a lizardman, and I’ve just lost ‘too badly’ to your avant-garde. No matter how you look at it, it’s a druid.”

Looks like this, you say? It was only then that I saw the countless tattoos he had carved all over his body, sat down, and slowly looked up at him. Speaking of druids, there are images that transform into animals or are friendly to nature, but the appearance of a lizardman is that of a predator from the beginning. I waved his hand slowly, fearful of accidentally scratching his claws. A little damp. He stared at me as we met his eyes, then let go of his hand and said admiringly.

“It is said that he is a ‘black nobleman’, and he has an unusual aura. Older brother. Usually, when I get close to him, he wakes up.”

Is this lizard? Ignoring my glare, he waved his tail at the dwarf. The dwarf, who had been pulling his beard, nodded and whispered.

“The adventurer grade is blue, but isn’t it the leader of the party that defeated the lich? It will soon turn green and red. Looking at his appearance, he seems to be a son of a noble lineage. He must have received various professional trainings from a young age.”

No, I can hear everything. With a huge height difference, do you really think you’re whispering? In the first place, the appearance of only slightly bending the knee is very comical.

“Why is such a person such a big adventurer?”

“Don’t you know that? It’s a romance, a romance. Isn’t it common for adventure stories in which the boy jumps out into the world? Even if I look like this, in my family…….”

“Ah, I am dying of boredom. Someday she said she didn’t want to hear about it, but since she doesn’t remember, she must have had dementia early.”

“What!?”

At the words of the Lizardman teasing the Dwarves, the adventurers surrounding them burst into laughter. Except for the dwarves and lizardmen, the rest had mostly human appearances, but none of them were shorter than me. It is truly a gathering of warriors. , Does it feel like a blood pact? Their leader, a dwarf man named Furnias, cleared his throat and spoke to me again.

“Kuhm, anyway. Nice to meet you We are all curious to hear that such a young man has defeated a lich. My brother, Moguas, I apologize if I have offended you.”

“It’s rude, I just said hello.”

“So, if you don’t mind, tell us the story of going to the labyrinth while having a drink together… ….”

“—Have you finished your greetings?”

At that time, a large shadow approached me, passing between the Dwarves and the Lizardmen. Actually, this person (I don’t even know if he’s a person) was the one I cared about the most. The only difference from dragons is that they do not have a dragon head, dragon limbs, dragon skin, tail or wings. Oh, and walking on two feet. He greeted politely, neatly dressed in a monocle and aquamarine clothing.

“What is it, Yonggary! People are talking.”

“I was waiting for my turn, but I couldn’t see any chance to intervene. Excuse me——Nice to meet you, Gong Jin. I’m sorry you don’t seem to like nicknames, but I’ll call you by your first name.”

Oh? Finally, among the adventurers, a person who seems to have common sense, no, a dragon has appeared. To be honest, looking at his appearance alone, he is more intimidating than Lizardman, but because he is dressed more neatly than anyone else, he has a sense of being an adventurer and a scholar. And as he guessed, he continued to introduce himself.

“My name is Sagrat Eurekanias, feel free to call me Sag. As you can see, they are descendants of dragons, the Dragonborn race.”

“Oh, yes. This is Jin.”

He shook his hand, which is almost twice as big as mine, with his hand open and not squeezed tightly. The knurled hand full of scales feels quite different from that of a lizardman. He restrained me by spreading his palm before making an awkward introduction.

“You don’t have to bother with greetings. The same Wizardry.”

“Wizardry…… ?”

“Oh, excuse me. On our side, we do not distinguish between order users. I’m sorry. I’ve heard that Duke Jin is also a wizard, but if you’ll excuse me, what school do you belong to…… ?”

I hesitated at that question. It’s not bad for a common sense person who can speak the language to show friendliness, but he seems to be mistaking me for an elite wizard from some kind of mage tower. At that moment, a slightly drunk Janice supported me and extended a helping hand.

“Jineun, Universal (Universal School)…… It is not necessarily specialized in one field.”

Ah, there was an answer like that. I was so confused I couldn’t remember. I thanked Janice by patting the back of her hand. Yonggary, or Sagrat, opened his eyes wide as he adjusted the monocle on his large head.

“As expected! If you’re an adventurer, that’s the way it is. But it looks like you’re a Wizardry too…… Where have you seen me before?”

“Okay.”

Jenice said in an uncharacteristic, slightly curt tone. Come to think of it, I thought that Zenith was also from the Magic Tower, but did the two actually know each other? Sensing her urge not to talk to her, Sagrat noticed her and took a step back from her and continued her conversation.

“Honestly, I am also deeply interested in adventure stories in the labyrinth, but what I am more curious about is your subjection of magic. Everyone has a little bit of prejudice when it comes to sorcerers, but you don’t seem to have that. It’s the first time in my life to meet a wizard who has the experience of defeating a lich. How is it? It was fate that we met like this…….”

To be honest, as I listened to his story, I was distracted by the dragon-like face. The Dragonborn, isn’t it a race you’ve only seen in books? I have heard that polymorphic dragons and humans are born together, or that other races are originally chosen by dragons and changed to resemble dragons. Is in

“──Could you step back a bit? How long are you going to keep telling boring magic stories, One?”

But this time, before he could finish his words, someone violently pushed the Dragonborn Sorcerer and approached me. It’s not some conveyor belt sushi, what is it that comes out in rows like this? Perhaps, except for our party, the others were already active in the capital and seemed to be familiar with each other. Eventually, Sagrat went back to the seat where his colleagues were waiting with a sullen face and large shoulders hanging down. Except for him, the rest were human.

“Nice to meet you, Cynthia Elidir Greywood. A proud, no, as you humans call it, a high elf, as you can see.”

“Oh, yes, nice to meet you.”

I held out her hand as if I was bewitched as I gazed at those glittering purple eyes, but she looked down at me with her arms crossed as if she didn’t even intend to shake hands. Embarrassing people.

Graywood…… If there is a tree-related letter in the surname, it seems that you have heard that it is a noble lineage in the elven country. Indeed, it is such a beauty. If Chloe has an innocent beauty that leaves a bit of a youthful feel to her, she exudes the feeling of a fully matured lady.

“Did you say ‘The Dark Scion’? Don’t be mistaken. Originally, our Party members rarely greeted each other first. It seems like your party is new to the royal road, so I’m giving you a special reminder.”

“Yes. Thank you for your kindness… ….”

I was a bit wary of the Dragonborn Sorcerer earlier, but this elf calls me by nickname completely openly. I told you my name. I smiled on the outside and gritted my teeth on the inside.

“Jin, are you popular?”

Mi-ra, who was looking at the two of us from the side, sighed a bit and threw out a word. Her overbearing elf suddenly threw her gaze at her, as if indifferent, and she cleared her throat, clearing her phlegm, clearing her voice. My cheeks look a little red, is it because of the light?

“Umm, well, that’s just how it is. It’s not that I’m particularly hostile, I’m just wondering what it would be like to maintain a good relationship in the future…… Come on, let’s shake hands.”

Then, with an expression of unwillingness, he even asked for a handshake, and after shaking her hand a couple of times, he quickly pulled out that smooth hand and approached Mira this time.

“You belong to the same party as him, right? Sleep.”

Then, he gave Mira a rather excited smile and willingly extended her hand. Mira hesitated a little, looked at her surroundings, and reluctantly took her hand. Suddenly, an elf named Cynthia put her hand on his own and pressed her small face to the point where it was burdensome. .

“It was fate that we met like this, would you mind telling me your name? I am Cynthia Elidir Greywood!”

“No, why are the hands…….”

“Your prowess as a warrior is great, but looking at your blisters, you are a rogue (thief) class! Ah, pink hair. I saw it from afar, and it reminded me of an untamed rose. You are by far the most beautiful of all human women I have ever met. Imagine her dancing with a dagger…… “

As if she wouldn’t listen to her anymore, Mira shook her hand away from her. Then, she wrapped her arms around me and glared at her warily.

“Jin, I hate that woman.”

You two? Hey nadu She seemed quite shocked that her mummy had shrugged off her own hand, but then she caught his cold gaze and twisted her body around as if she were oddly agitated. No, maybe?

“Well, if you don’t feel uncomfortable, you can call me Cindy… ….”

I’ll turn. I felt dizzy. It is said that it is red, which is the object of longing for many adventurers, but for some reason there is not a single normal person. Seeing the hundreds of years old lesbian elf embarrassed like a girl, I suddenly remembered Chloe’s bright smile. I miss you so much all of a sudden. Soon after, I got up from my seat.

“Yeah, Jin, you’re popular!”

“This is all because of you.”

I kicked Gerald’s ass as usual. Even if you didn’t spread rumors and pretended to know for nothing. Thanks to that, even if I go to the meeting tomorrow, I will be in the spotlight. He giggled as he rubbed his sore ass.

“I can’t lie about that. After all, you are an adventurer representing our guild!”

“Who represents the guild? Eat a lot.”

How many times have you told me that you don’t intend to be an adventurer? , Isn’t it simple and cool? Only his nickname is enviable. As I grumbled, took the glass from him and brought it to his lips, Gerald suddenly said to me,

“Hey, Jin.”

“Why?”

“That, you really are an illegitimate child, aren’t you? If there is something like a back stomach that I don’t know about, tell me now.”

“What are you talking about?”

I looked away from Gerald as if I was dumbfounded. You don’t listen to people. Besides, if it really is, what are you going to do? When I looked at him questioningly, he said no, scratched the back of his head, and walked over to the table where Hilda and Janice were.

Why are you like that? Fresh. I looked at the back of his head with a question, then went over to the fireplace and took a seat where the bard sang.

You play the lute once. It’s a good drinking night.

And the next day, the day of the meeting dawned.
