𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟓𝟗: 𝐊𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐞
“Wait! You! You plan to do it here?”
A long-haired old man yells. He’s standing on his feet.
He’s always ready to attack.
I have no problem with that.
“You! You bastard!!”
The red-nosed man let go of the girl and reached for his dagger.
It’s too late. I step forward and grab the wrist he extended towards the dagger.
“Buzz, stop it!!”
My fist stops right in front of the red-nosed man’s face.
“Stop it, whoever you are. This is a negotiation. I don’t want any interference.”
“Hey, hey, you’re blocking the road and reaching for your sword in the middle of a public place. That’s a rough way to do business.”
I twist the red-nosed man’s arm and lift the dagger he was holding.
“Ouch! Ouch!! It’s going to break!!”
The red-nosed man drops his dagger in pain.
The cheap dagger rolls on the ground.
Robin has secured the girl.
I push his arm and trip him, causing the man to fall.
“Ouch!!”
“I’m good at breaking arms. Don’t worry, I haven’t broken it yet.”
The long-haired man clicks his tongue. It’s three steps to the reach of his sword if I jump in, but it seems he’s realized he’ll be intercepted.
He seems ready to talk.
“That family owes me money. The repayment deadline is still ahead, but there’s a one-time interest payment. That’s the contract.”
“The interest payment isn’t due yet!!”
The mother screams.
“That’s not true! The interest payment deadline is within half a year, but the lender can demand it freely after three months. That’s the contract.”
“No, no. . .”
The long-haired old man interrupts with a triumphant face.
The mother is in despair.
“Hey, how much is the interest on that promissory note?”
“It’s a loan of 300 gold coins, and the interest is 30 gold coins a year. Either pay the 30 gold coins or let the girl work. Don’t worry, I’ll introduce you to a place where you can pay right away.”
The tall, red-nosed man who fell gets up, holding his arm.
“You brat!!”
“Stop it, Buzz!! Don’t bother with him. Back off!!”
Oh, old man. He saw that I was ready to step in.
He’s surprisingly good.
“Hey!! What’s all the fuss about! What are you doing!!”
A few guards with spears came through the crowd.
This is going to be troublesome.
The old man’s eyes become stern.
“You guys!! What are. . . huh? Ahh~?”
He remembered with a surprised face, the guy I helped out in the cafeteria.
“Hey! Long time no see, how’s your arm? Does it hurt?”
“Oh, oh, what are you doing here?”
The guard is flustered, the others seem to be his subordinates.
The attitude of their superior changes dramatically, confusing the guards.
I speak in a loud voice that everyone can hear.
“If you have 30 gold coins, there’s no problem this year, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right. This is business for us too.”
The old man is irritated. It seems he doesn’t like the guards either.
We have something in common.
I pretend to search my pocket and take out 30 gold coins.
“Here, 30 gold coins. Count them! Give them to that man. Make sure that man confirms it too!!”
I push them onto the flustered guard, who counts the gold coins with trembling hands, walking like a golem.
He hands them to the old man. He confirms it and yells.
“Give me the receipt.”
I yell loudly. The guard flinches.
“Buzz!! Give it to him!”
The red-nosed man takes out a ledger, writes something in it, and tears it off.
He hands it to the guard. He comes to me and I take it from the guard, checking the front and back.
It’s a receipt with a tally. The amount, date, and signature are all correct.
Alright, that should be fine.
“Is there any problem with this?”
I yell loudly. The surrounding crowd will be witnesses.
“Yeah, no problem!! See you next year!!”
The old man says and turns on his heel with the tall man, leaving in a hurry.
Well, let’s clean up.
“Thank you. We appreciate the cooperation of the Knights.”
“Ah, ah. No, it’s an honor to be of service!!”
The guard salutes, standing at attention.
“””Hey, it’s over! Disperse! Disperse.”””
The lower-ranking guards are controlling the crowd.
I walk over to Robin and the girl.
Oh, it’s a disaster!!
Cough, cough.
“You had a hard time, didn’t you?”
I speak to the girl with a cynical smile.
“Eek!!”
For some reason, she’s scared of me. That’s harsh!!
“Otto. Don’t pick fights with everyone.”
Marco came over.
Alex jumps in.
“Ojou-san, are you alright?”
“Ah, yes.”
“Um, Alex-sama. To the commoners. . .”
“Hey, Robin-kun, introduce me to that Ojou-san too (cough).”
I put Alex, who was touching his bangs, to sleep with a karate chop.
The girl is terrified, but I don’t care.
“Otto, stop it. You’re scaring me. That guy’s pretty good, isn’t he?”
John calls out to me.
“Ah, the kingdom’s knights are crumbling.”
“Eh? Is it okay to pick a fight with someone like that?”
Feruppo asks.
“Well, he’s just doing his job, it should be fine.”
“Otto, don’t try to beat a knight with your bare hands.”
Carl is dumbfounded.
“It’s okay.”
Perhaps the opponent also understood that it might end in a draw.
“Um, I’m really sorry!! For this kind of thing.”
The woman who bows her head, probably the mother, looks a lot like her daughter. (Especially the chest)
“Well, it seems like she’s an acquaintance of Robin.”
“Hey, what are we going to do? With this.”
This (Alex) is standing weakly, supported by Carl and John.
No wonder it’s quiet. . .
“Do you have someone who is injured?”
“No, this is. . .”
I’m pushed by the woman to a point where I can’t explain.
“Please rest here.”
I’m guided into the shop.
It seems to be a shop that sells fabric.
It also seems to handle miscellaneous goods.
I lay Alex on the long bench.
Robin looks solemn.
“Um, Trina. . . I heard about Otou-san.”
“Yes, Robin.”
“. . .”
“So. . . um. If there’s anything I can do. . .”
“It’s okay. Robin will figure something out.”
The daughter answers with a smile.
The mother’s face is dark.
“Hey, hey. Explain it to me in a way I can understand. I’m involved, after all.”
I showed the receipt with a smile.
For some reason, the mother and daughter’s faces turned as if they had been thrown into hell.
