Isekai Shoukan chapter 28: Edith
As a welcome gift, 3 daggers were thrown out towards me as he said welcome and not knowing if it really was a welcome greeting or not, I answered with an awkward tone “......Y, Yes”.
The proof handed by Edith that I enrolled in the back guild were two black cards and she tried to pa.s.s one to Tifal, however she aimed her not so ordinary blood thirst at Edith.
“.........that elf there, wh, wh, what did you do to my Iori?”
Although Tifal scowled at Edith who seems sleepy and yawn with both eyes closed while sitting at the counter and thrusting her chin on her hand, she began to talk. Something like anger is loaded in her words and she seemed to cut her soon.
“......N? What......I throw 3 daggers......emm......ah, I explained the black guild to him and handed him this card. So what is it?”
Edith seem sleepy as she answered while dozing off while looked troublesome.
"As expected, I didn’t mislook ...............I will kill you.”
The moment Tifal said kill, she take out her nearly 2m tall sword out of her ring which she wore on her finger the moment and she take a fighting posture.
“............Hee......that ring is a item box. You have something good......"
Did Edith become interested in Tifal who took a large sword out from her ring, because her eyes that were about to close greatly opened and check from top to bottom as if she appraising Tifal.
Even when she sees Tifal´s figure who extracted a 2m long sword suddenly, Edith has no sign of feeling fret or unrest.
Such an att.i.tude, Tifal’s anger that is aiming at Edith wells up unlimitedly from her negative feelings like hate.
I try to soothe her to calm down, but it doesn"t reach Tifal´s ear at all.
A voice different from me and Edith called out to her who got furiously angry.
"A new face, it’s been a long time, so see someone who’s like that. hey newcomer there,stop picking a fight with Edith-san”
A red haired man with c.o.c.ks...o...b..said so and called out to Tifal.
“.........what. I will kill you, if you disturb.”
Tifal scowled at the man with c.o.c.ks...o...b..who called out to her suddenly while letting her face warp for anger and warned him.
“Hey hey, just heed my advice won’t you? Newcomer. ......Didn"t you wonder, why this black guild, where criminals gather is so quiet......and peaceful?”
The c.o.c.ks...o...b..man, kukukuu, has began to talk with Tifal while laughing.
Similar to me, did Tifa also think of that thing when we set foot in the black guild, while controlling her anger, I smiled and looked around once in the black guild. We completely listened attentively to the story of the c.o.c.ks...o...b..man, when we noticed.
"Th, The reason is simple, it"s because they don"t want to anger Edith-san. We want to avoid for Edith-san to lose her temper and to damaging this place, I came for warning you expressly in this way. I"ll tell you just in case, but now is it because 70% of the criminals and devil races who were in this black guild and picked a quarrel with Edith-san and were nearly killed? Kukukuu, only with that Edith-san is out of standard and th, that"s what this is all about. Do you value your life Newbie?”
The c.o.c.ks...o...b..d man declared it to Tifal and me while laughing loudly. However, I who had doubted the man"s remark a little questionable while having a steep face.
“......Naa, even if the attack of this elf is avoided just in case while registering with the black guild? ......Do you usually know how many people are nearly killed?”
Was my remark funny, because the c.o.c.ks...o...b..d man held his side while bursting into laughter from my question.
“Kuu, kuhahahahahahaha!!! ......You say such an amus.e.m.e.nt thing.........when did I said that Edith registered. It has been decided that you can register when another receptionist has duty. Well, new faces who sometimes knows nothing like that, there is no one who register when Edith is taking charge even if he has a skill like danger perception and is possible to register by chance. Are you like that too? Without knowing anything this time by chance and able to evade, you were lucky. Information is the life for us. Make the best use of it in the future newbie?"
I am in the middle of hearing the story of the man with the c.o.c.ks...o...b.. unconsciously, hee......, I raised my admiration while greatly opening my eyes.
The c.o.c.ks...o...b..d man is satisifed when he saw my reaction and was in a good mood.
“Th, That"s how it is. You don"t seem to be really strong, so apologize to Edith-san quickly and take your words of a little while ago back."
The man with the c.o.c.ks...o...b..says so and tries to leave from Tifal and me, but his words seems to show an opposite effect
“......Hee......not strong enough......if that"s the case then I will kill you all the more. This, , , I have the feeling that I"d like to know how much strength I have......so it is convenient.”
Tifal threw all her strength into her right side which held the large sword while floating a warped smile. The c.o.c.ks...o...b..d man thought we would withdrew obediently by his warning but he was surprised at Tifa"s state and was disgusted.
“......Hey, did you hear what I said? ......Seriously stop picking a quarrel with Edith-san. It is good if you newbies are only half dead. However as soon as Edith-san grasps a sword she won"t stop until her desire for battle is pleased......seriously stop it.”
There is no sign that the man with the c.o.c.ks...o...b..is joking, so it might be true. The eyes of this man which are stained with some fear are telling us to stop and are seen as a pleading but Tifal doesn"t notice it.
“.........Hmm～!! Tsstss......then I will kill you, newbie. I wanted to grasp a sword soon again. Recently the new faces are only small fishes who die when I just threw my dagger like a short while ago. The people who are here don"t pick a fight......”
Edith declared this to Tifal while extending both hands to the top and stretching herself. The c.o.c.ks...o...b..d man who heard Edith words full of motivation tries to persuade Edith-san in a hurry.
“No, Edith-san!? Please, don"t joke around......it seems to be a temporal bewilderment of the new face!! Na? Isn’t that right, new face!?"
The man with the c.o.c.ks...o...b..tells Tifal with his eyes to nod, however she didn’t understand it......no, she had no intention of understanding it.
"There is no such thing. Did you throw out a sword to Iori? There are no other choices than killing you. I shall kill you quickly”
Tifal moved her eyes from the man to Edith and swore while having a ferocious smile.
I gave up to calm Tifal down since some time and leave it to the c.o.c.ks...o...b..d man who appealed to me and I waved my neck aside slowly and informed him that it was impossible.
“......That"s what I want......here in this black guild exist an underground arena. I will kill you there, so follow me newbie.”
Edith said so, the atmosphere which seems sleepy and lazy until just now is entirely gone, she led us to the arena while having an un-worrying smile.
