Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 111

Chapter 111

North Avenue in the city of Lomarn .

It is one of the most beautiful streets in the city, lined with merchant houses and trendy, slightly pricey shops .

There were two young girls and a big man…… Gaston walking down the street .

“Master Gaston! How, How can I approach the strength of Gaston-sama?”

One of the girls, the one with the sword on her back desperately calls out to Gaston .

Her name is Natali .

She is a fledgling adventurer .

“Like me…… huh . I’m not choosing this path because I want fame or to become a top-notch adventurer, I just came here because I was desperate to help others . ”

Hearing Gaston’s words, Natali opens her mouth in surprise .

She just wanted to be strong, she realized how shallow she was as a person . She blushed and looked down .

“Don’t be so impatient, it will be different for each person…… It’s just that I’ve seen too many guys struggling when they were little . ”

Gaston said, looking up at the sky and squinting dazzlingly at the sky .

Looking up at that profile of his, Natali gave a small nod .

“Hey, you, what’s that pungent thing you’re asking Gaston-sama about . If you’re done talking, could you please leave quickly?”

Melissa, the woman in Gaston’s arms, interrupts her .

Natali frowns at the sound of her voice, as if she is disgusted .

“ho-ho-, how could you have the authority to say that! You’ve been glued to the Gaston-sama for so long, what is it with you?”

Melissa and Natali stopped and they stared at each other .

Gaston huffed, exhaled deeply, and shook his head .

“Come on, women, stop fighting for me . ”

Gaston said with a smirk on his face .

For Gaston, it was the first time he had ever been pampered by a girl more than a year younger than he was, and by two of them at the same time .

He had always dealt with girls of his own kind and pattern, so their grace, their upbringing, their values, all of it was new to him, and he found it all very attractive .

Gaston was glad to have taken that little boy’s idea, he thought again .

It had caused him to sell off his beloved sword, Vairablow, but even with that, Gaston was happy .

Although Gaston was used to being treated like a nuisance, the genuine respect he had been receiving for a long time was a comfortable thing for him to do .

Besides, right now, Gaston had the new Vairablow on his hip .

The new Vairablow was sleek and long and good looking, a stark contrast to the previous Vairablow .

It looked good and weighed less, making it easier to carry around .

However, the new Vairablow is a simulated sword .

Its blade has no concept of cutting ability .

If you swing the sword against a tree, the blade will shatter and turn to dust .

I wanted to make it look good somehow, so I hastily prepared it at a cheap price .

“Fuuu…… Hey women, I am……”

Melissa and Natali, who were about to start grabbing at each other as Gaston began to speak, shut up .

Just as Gaston was about to say his next words, a scream came from a distance .

“Uwaaa! Run, run!”

“You will be turned to stone!”

Many people were running from the direction Gaston was heading in, as if they were fleeing .

At a glance, he decided that it wasn’t just a matter of time .

Gaston spotted a semi-C-cla.s.s adventurer, Sui Suudonia, in the midst of the fleeing crowd .

Sui was a beautiful swordsman with gray hair . On top of that, he’s cool, competent, and has a strong sense of justice . Combined with his mysteriousness, he is very popular . He is unusually well-behaved for an adventurer, and it was rumored that he would soon be approached by a n.o.bleman .

He was the only adventurer in this city of Lomarn who could interfere with Gaston’s insolence .

“You little rascal, don’t show yourself in my presence again . Next time, I’ll really cut you down . ”

These are the words he said to me when I once stood up to him and was subjected to a private execution .

True to those words, Gaston had been sneaking around and avoiding Sui ever since .

That Sui had broken his cool face and was leading the way .

His lips were pointy, his cheeks were narrowed, and he was running as fast as he could with his arms swinging wide .

“Move it! Hey you guys, don’t block me, I’ll cut you down!”

Leaving the civilians behind, Sui ran past Gaston .

Gaston turned around and stared at Sui’s back . Sui’s back was getting further and further away .

Something terrible had happened in the city, Gaston realized .

“I, I don’t know, but I have to get away……”

Gaston looks back at them .

“That, that person…… an adventurer, he’s a semi-C-cla.s.s and he’s running away……”

“Wow, that’s disgusting…… He just ran past the guy in front of me . I thought he was pretty cool, but I’m disillusioned . ”

Natali and Melissa let out a disappointed voice .

Sui was the highest-ranked adventurer currently based in the city of Lomarn . It had been decided that Gaston would soon jump up to C-cla.s.s, but that announcement had not yet been made .

Because of this, Sui was frequently mentioned in the Adventurer’s Newspaper and was well known .

That was why the disappointment was so great for the girls .

“Hey, run……”

“I’m so glad Gaston-sama was there to help now that Sui has run away . ”

“Yes, I suppose so . It sounded like there was some kind of emergency, but if Gaston-sama is here, there will be no problem . ”

“…………”

Gaston was speechless .

From the way the people around him spoke, it was probably a ridiculous magic beast that had entered the city .

The current Gaston doesn’t even have a weapon . There is no way he could jump in front of a magical beast with his bare hands .

“I’ll only be dragging your feet even if I’m here . Gaston-sama, please do your best . ”

Hearing those words, Gaston was relieved .

It occurred to him that he should just pretend that he had gone hunting and run away properly .

After that, the mysterious sorcerer who lived in hiding in the city and couldn’t be seen out in the open would surely be able to clean up the mess for good . And that little boy named Abel will surely give me the parts of subjugation .

Then I can build up my achievements again .

Let Natali and Melissa hear the story at a later date, and all will be well .

“Yeah, you can leave the rest to me!”

Gaston said emphatically and started running in the opposite direction of the people fleeing, towards the direction of the commotion .

He made a random turn along the way and figured he could handle it if he got away .

Behind him, Natali comes chasing after him .

“Gaston-sama, I’ll go with you!”

Gaston silently increased his running speed .

Gaston thought about running away even if it gets being found out, because he couldn’t risk his life, so he turned his body to jump around the bend .

It was then that he noticed all the people he pa.s.sed cheering at the sight of Gaston .

“It’s Gaston-sama!”

“Oh, thank G.o.d! Gaston’s here for you!”

“Gaston-sama! Mother, please help my mother! Gaston-sama!”

Gaston turned around, caught their eyes, and ran off, returning his bent legs to their original direction .

“I finally remembered……”

Gaston blurted out to himself as he ran .

Who would want to be hated?

I don’t know why anyone would want to be a nose-picker .

He had given up, smoked, rotted, and still clung to it .

Now he finally remembered what the root of it had been .

“I wanted to be a hero!”

Amidst the hustle and bustle and screams, Gaston yells .

“I, I will protect this city!

The heroes of falsehood shout .

With his great arms, he raised his ornamental sword .

But because he was a hero of ornamentation, his appearance seemed braver than all the others, and gave relief to those who were afraid and fleeing .

…… I’m sure that Gaston at this time was so elated to hear the voices that relied on him that he had lost his ability to make a calm judgment .

Perhaps there was also such a misconception that he had become stronger because of the continuous praise he received from those around him .

It’s also hard to dismiss the line that he was confused because his speculation had been broken by Natali’s pursuit of him . Or all of them .

At any rate, Gaston returned to his composure within a few minutes after this, and he regretted it to the utmost degree .
