To Deprive a Deprived Person Chapter 247: Daddy is the Guild Leader

Chapter 247: Daddy is the Guild Leader

TDADP chapter 247: Daddy is the Guild Leader

「Good grief. What are you thinking!」

The floor, walls and ceiling are based on white. While walking down the long corridor of what should be called a chalk palace, Morphes has been complaining from this point on all the time.

「Guild Leader Karl, you´ve been told」

「Shut up. Dont open your mouth. My ears will rot」

「Well. I wonder how sarcastic you are, to reveal your upbringing」

Edda deliberately applies her hand to her eyes and makes a sad gesture, 「Oyoyo」. That outright gesture irritates Karl Heinz's nerves.

「Edda, it's about you! Did you forget that I said I would leave the guild to you while I was away from Kamar? Now you came to the royal capital on your own. And why do I have to buy you a dress!」

「Ah, I think it's rude to wear my receptionist's dress when visiting the residence of Finance Minister Balue」

「Morphes. You recommended this woman to be the vice guild leader, but I was against it. It's not too late now. I'd recommend expelling this evil succubus from Kamars Adventurer's guild」

「You guys haven't been on good terms for a long time. Even though it's a villa, how big is it?」

Because he knew the trouble between Edda and Karl Heinz, Morphes was not able to say that they should get along with each other.

「Even though he is a minister of a country, it is arrogant to call me, the head of the All Adventurer's Guild, to his own mansion rather than to the royal palace」

「It's all about the abusive language from both of you. The maid is in trouble」

The maid who was guiding them shook her shoulders at Edda´s words.

「I don't care. The Adventurer's Guild isn't part of the state, let alone Finance Minister Balue」

The maid stares at Karl Heinz with an incredible look. Up until now, the maid who has guided many guests has never seen anyone with a arrogant att.i.tude, even if there is a person who is afraid of Balue. On the contrary. From these three, it seemed that no fear towards Balue can be felt

「What's going on? Unless you give us guidance, we don't know where to go」

「I, I'm sorry」

The maid who had stopped moving hurriedly resumed the guidance.

「Excuse me. I brought Karl Heinz-sama and Morphes-sama」

「Let them through」

When Morphes´s group was guided by the maid and pa.s.sed through the room, Balue sat on a sofa in the center of the room, where the floor was completely made of marble. There are so few furnishings that you can't think of it as a Balue room renowned as goldfly. Nor is it a flashy color scheme that shows its existence excessively. Morphes frowns at this, which may be the exact opposite of the rumor. Looking over the room, a few maids are waiting and Gareth, who stands behind Balue, glances at Morphes with a glance as if he was looking at an enemy. Other than that, it is invisible, but it is a warning from Balue that you do not think about strange imitation because Morphes intentionally release multiple signs so that they will notice.

「Welcome, Karl Heinz-dono and Kamar city´s adventurer guild leader」

Balue´s body, which was bloated due to lack of daily exercise, stood up slowly from the sofa, just like slow motion. Balue that stands up at last looks at Edda who was uninvite with lecherous eyes.

「Hou....... Edda Arndt」

「Gareth, do you know her?」

「Whether the opponent is a human or a monster, a ruthless woman who mercilessly slaughters. It is sure that she has been disliked like a snake by the adventurer guild because of her arrogant irreverent att.i.tude. I heard that she wasn't particularly close with Karl Heinz, but they seemed to have joined hands before someone knew it」

「Gareth-dono, how is it that you, famous as one of 『Udon Five Knights』, make such a joke?」

Despite Karl Heinz's cold-eyed gaze, Gareth shows a warlike grin without being timid.

「Edda Arndt, what happened to the proud four style magic armor spirit demon user?」(TL note: Not sure if that t.i.tle is correct)

「What are you talking about? Haa! No way, is this the seducer that the world says? Uhuhu. Guild leader, what should I do?」

While swaying her body, Edda sends a glance to Morphes. Karl Heinz felt uncomfortable from that appearance and Morphes laughed with a snort. Didn't she like Morphes´s reaction? Edda combs Morphes's hair with a hand and pulls out a few hair.

「Nuooo!? What are you doing!」

「I don't know」

Morphes protest against Edda, who turns away and wonders what Karl Heinz is doing.

「Karl Heinz-dono, I want to move on to the main subject. You don't need to stand. Take a seat」

Even though the opponent was the head of the adventurer's guild, it was unthinkable that Balue would respond with a smile to a commoner.

「It's fine. Even if it looks like this, I'm still busy, so let's just listen to it」

(Co, Commoners! It's the mercy of the frivolous commoners, who aren't worth anything!! Replying to me, I'll repay you for that, who will eventually become the King of Udon Kingdom!)

It was Balue that made a blue line for a moment, but as soon as he covered his face with his palm, it immediately returned to his original expression.

「Cough. That's right. Well, as Karl Heinz and his friends know, five days later, at the royal palace, the adventurer Yuu Satou, who belongs to Kamar city, will be awarded with the Udon Great Ribbon. It is an unbelievable thing to do and it is an honor for Yuu Satou, that His Majesty is giving it directly to a adventurer. As a part of Udon Kingdom, I´m very pleased to have such an excellent adventurer in our country」

Morphes reacts slightly to Balue who said so.

「But there was a report that some of the aristocrats were doing bad things」

Gareth happily patted his beard behind Balue, who shook his head to the left and right with a sad look.

「I apparently found by my investigation that the n.o.bles of the anti-royal faction are using Yuu Satou to defeat His Majesty. According to it, Yuu Satou is not the right person to receive Udon Great Ribbon. At first, I expected it to be an excuse to attack His Majesty, who will reward such an adventurer with a bad reputation and without roots or leaves. However, when I looked into it, it turned out that Yuu Satou was guilty of a number of crimes. Perhaps the aristocracy of the anti-royal faction which has declared attendance might hold information of the same level as me in this award ceremony by the aristocracy who should not be obligated to partic.i.p.ate in the ceremony. It is easy to imagine his words when he is presented at the Royal Palace. If that happens, the Adventurers Guild will also be held accountable」

Morphes murmured 「How dare you say it so impudently」 in his heart.

「But don't worry! I won't let them do that! I won't forgive them! Protecting His Majesty's body and the peace of Udon Kingdom from those who disturb the order is a natural duty of one of Udon Kingdom´s n.o.bles! And even though you've made a mistake, it's only natural to lead a young, talented adventurer on the right path!!」

Tears spill down from Balue´s cheeks who talks pa.s.sionately and fall onto the marble floor.

「As expected, precious lord of the Nox family, which is the oldest family in Udon Kingdom. I never thought that you could open your heart to that extent. So, as the head of the adventurer's guild, what do you want me to do?」

Karl Heinz bows as if he was impressed strongly. At this time, Karl Heinz who had a white face might have been able to worship if the face had been looked into from below.

「Umm. I would like to ask Karl Heinz and Kamar City´s Adventurer Guild Leader to acknowledge all the crimes of the anti-royalists Yuu Satou at the ceremony. There is no evidence, but it's okay if it is under investigation」

「But the Adventurer's guild can't fully agree without seeing any evidence of Yuu Satou's guilt. Can you show them of course?」

Karl Heinz's question is not unnatural. This is a natural requirement. However, Balue was astringent.

「Karl Heinz-dono, do you think Balue-sama tells you a lie?」

Gareth, towards an ordinary person, he puts pressure on him that the ordinary person is going to be crushed.

「Hmm, I don't know. I just asked a question」

「Guild Leader Karl is smart, so it would be a ha.s.sle if this happens, right?」

Edda breaks in to block Gareth and Karl Heinz.

「Edda Arndt, you´re in the way. Do you want to die?」

「Well, scary」

Edda, to whom the battle axe is directed, intentionally touches her mouth and pretends to be frightened.

「Don't turn your weapon towards a woman」

Morphes gripped the handle of the battle axe aimed at Edda. Did that bother him? Gareth's face turns into an expression of fury, as if the warlike smile that he had just showed is a lie.

「Whose weapon are you putting your hand on?」

Gareth tried to blow off Morphes by shaking off the battleaxe, but the battle axe didn't move.

「Don't be unreasonable」

「Who are you old man」

Gareth and Morphes have no noticeable movement. However, they heard a screaming squeaking sound from the marble floor that had been magically processed.

「Hou...... Can you withstand three-thirds of my power?」

「I'll take your battleaxe down」

「What about half of my power?」

「Muu......」

A crack runs through the marble floor at the foot of Gareth and Morphes. And sweat drips from Morphes's forehead. On the other hand, Gareth turned from his furious expression into a smiling face like a child that received a toy.

「Gareth! Stop it!!」

「But these people are rude to Balue-sama――」

「I told you to stop」

Gareth pulled his strength out of his body and lowered the battle axe.

「Karl Heinz, I'm sorry for my subordinate」

「Don't mention it. I saw something interesting」

Karl Heinz is grateful to Balue who has one of the five knights who protect Udon Kingdom under his control.

「If you say that, it would be helpful for me as well. The question of Karl Heinz, of course, is a matter of course, but please trust me. I can't tell you the details, but Yuu Satou has been found guilty with abduction, imprisonment, embezzlement, robbery, theft, tax evasion, a.s.sault, intimidation and extortion towards n.o.bles and ordinary people」

「He's also a big criminal. No matter how high-ranking an adventurer is, he can't escape the capital punishment」

「Umm. But again, trust me. I cant acquit Yuu Satou, but I'll eventually see it as a probation punishment. Of course, the Adventurer's Guild is not held accountable for it」

「Can you swear it to G.o.d?」

「Those who are as religious as I am would not be able to spread the Udon Kingdom. It's all right. I swear to G.o.d!」

「If you go that far, I can't treat it specially as the Adventurer's Guild chief, but let's vow to be fair......」

Balue nods to Karl Heinz, who appreciates it. In the back, Morphis has a stunned face. Edda, whose grin never stopped, looked at Karl Heinz with a sideways glance and read that his mouth was moving saying 「Trash」, although he didn't speak it out.

-----------------------------------

「What was that just now!」

「I don't understand why you say that」

「Why must you say it needs to be fair!」

As they walked straight away from Balue´s mansion to the royal capital, Morphes was entangled with Karl Heinz as his anger did not subside.

「The Adventurer's Guild isn't a charity. It's natural to favor those who make more money. Morphes, can you say that you're not doing anything special to Yuu Satou?」

「I'm equal」

「It's a lie. I'm not saying it's bad. If a good adventurer benefits the guild, I think it makes sense to distinguish it from other adventurers. It would be unfair to treat incompetent adventurers in the same line」

「Don't talk! Edda, you also tell this guy」

「Uhuhu」

「Edda!」

「Mou, what is it now? Don't shout out loud」

Edda was in a good mood so that the viewer felt uncomfortable. Even Karl Heinz is hesitant to rant.

「Anyway, don't listen to that guy! The adventurer's guild should be neutral!!」

「No matter what you say, my thoughts stay the same」

「Muu....... I can't help it」

Morphes takes something out of his pocket as he says that.

「Oh, I. Yes. Umm. That's right! No matter what you say, I don't listen! Well, umm. It's up to you. I'm begging you!」

It was something that even Karl Heinz had never seen before, but it turned out that Morphes was used to it by applying it to the ear and it was a magic tool for communication.

「Here」

「A little bit of explanation」

「You will understand when you pick it up」

Forcing the communication magic tool against Karl Heinz, Morphes urges him to pick it up.

「Good grief. Morphes, you will be in trouble. Whatever, how will I understand」

『Papa』

「Fifi-chan!!」

Karl Heinz solidifies in the posture of the sun holding his hands up to the sky.

『Wait Papa, don't make a loud voice all of a sudden. Papa? Can you hear me?』

「Fifi-chan! Papa, Papa, Papa!!! Fifi-chan's papa, Karl Heinz Anger Muller!? N? Hmm? Fifi-chan are you doing well? Dad was so worried that I tried to go to Kamar again and again. Mama, mama said it isn't good. It's terrible. So, what's going on? You're not in trouble? Of course, Daddy knows that Fifi-chan is a girl and he believes in you. But even so, it's still a matter of worrying about you, right? You're not in trouble with your money? If you tell daddy, I'll send you as much as you want in secret! It's okay, dad's the head of all Adventurers Guilds. It doesn't matter when it comes to it, but it's a secret to Mama, alright? It's a promise between Dad and Fifi-chan. By the way, was Fifi-chan approached by maggots――cough. Trashes――man, man, man!? You don't have a man, do you? N? Hmm? Fifi-chan is kind to everyone. You know, men are creatures that misunderstand right away. If they misunderstood Fifi-chan´s kindness――if maggots misunderstand and are going to touch my Fifi-chan, Daddy will kill――I'll eliminate them!! That's why――」

『Mou. Papa, I don't understand what you are all saying』

「Hahahaa. I'm sorry. I was able to talk to Fifi-chan after a long time, so it seems that Papa had lost sight of himself」

『That's right. I want to ask a favor of you』

「Dont Papa and Fifi-chan have a good relationship? Tell me anything」

『Thanks. It's about Yuu-chan』

「Yuu......chan............? Th, That......that's not a man, right ?! Dad won't allow it!!」

Karl Heinz's feet quiver like a newborn fawn to the words of his beloved daughter.

「Keep calm」

「Noisy!! Morphes shut up!!」

Karl Heinz was upset, dripping with tears and a runny nose, as Morphes suddenly called out.

『Daddy, you're misunderstanding. Yuu-chan is a adventurer of Kamar』

「Is that so. It was dad´s misunderstanding, I almost go to Kamar to kill」

『Mou, Papa, you´re careless. Yuu-chan, I wonder what the n.o.bles of the royal capital would say, but I want Dad to be equal as the head of all adventurer guilds』

「That's no good. On Dad's job, someone alone――hmm? Equal?」

『Yes. Not special treatment. All you have to do is to be equal』

「But Fifi-chan, thinking about the adventurer guild´s future」

『It will benefit the Adventurer's Guild』

「No joke?」

『Have I ever lied to daddy?』

「Huhahaa! There's no way it is!」

『Then, Yuu-chan please』

「Leave it to Dad」

『Swear to G.o.d?』

「Yes, I swear to G.o.d!」

『Thank you dad. I love you』

Karl Heinz, once he had communicated with Fifi, was happily holding his happiness back in the sun.

「It's exactly what I expected, but is it okay for you?」

「Hmm. People have priorities. When I weighed the Adventurer's Guild with Fifi-chan, Fifi-chan was slightly heavier than the Adventurer's Guild」

「Absolutely, but it was a bit invisible」

Morphes explained the situation to Fifi in advance and asked her to cooperate, but as Karl Heinz changed too much, he was worried about the future operation of the Adventurer's Guild.
