Chapter 115

Chapter 115
Gaston had his cronies, the girls, carry his prey .
His cronies used to be a bunch of squalid bastards, but they’ve turned out to be gorgeous .
“Gaston-san, please, come forward!”
A man in line at the reception desk quickly left the line .
He then waved his hand and began to call out to the others .
“Hey, Gaston-san’s here! Keep the line open! Quickly!”
Everyone doesn’t seem to be questioning the situation, and one by one they follow .
In the past, Gaston would have forcefully threatened them to leave the line and received a fierce rebuke from the others, but now the people around them do it on their own and leave with everyone’s consent, so you never know what the world will be like .
“Eh, bu-, but I was in a hurry…… and I was so close……”
A girl at the front of the queue let out a small complaint .
“Oh? What does that mean, little girl? Do you know that this town is only in peace because of Gaston-san? And yet…… you’re one hell of an ingrate!”
“I-, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to……”
“Wha-? What do you mean then! Hey, come here, kid!”
The man shamelessly approaches the girl with a large gait and tugs on her arm .
“Stop it, you idiot!”
Gaston threatened in a voice that seemed to echo throughout the facility .
The area fell silent as if it had been hit by water .
“Hey, let’s get back in line . I’m will be at the back of the line . Isn’t that obvious? We’ve just come, you know . ”
Everyone slowly begins to be noisy again trying to understand the meaning of Gaston’s words .
“What are you surprised about . I’m an existence that has to be a role model for all the adventurers in this town . There’s no way that I will do a stingy behavior like cutting into the queue . It looks like I’m looked cheaply too . ”
You have done it all out too, didn’t you?
“We, we were wrong……we didn’t think Gaston-san would be happy by doing this……”
“Because of you, you almost ruined Gaston-san’s name by being one step ahead of him! What the hell are you standing still Huh!”
“Hi-, hiiiiii! Oh no, I was just trying to be nice……”
There were definitely some who remembered Gaston’s behavior before, but they all seemed to be struck by and admired Gaston’s words with open arms .
The atmosphere of the place is terrifying .
By the way, the man who was holding the girl’s arm was surrounded by five men who were stouter than him and dragged out to another floor .
“…… Well, what will happen if this falls apart?”
“I’m starting to freak out a little bit, too . ”
As Maizen said, we can only bet on the theory that the lords are knowingly overlooking it and mending Gaston’s heroic image .
Then it will hold for a while longer .
In that case, however, some nobleman would take Gaston into his service, and I’m afraid it might turn up there…… but Maisen says that any other nobleman in his right mind wouldn’t make such a big deal out of it, since he’d have to go through the inspection and test .
…… But if he was a complete idiot, he might make a quick decision to hire him .
However, Gaston shouldn’t be that stupid, as expected .
If you’ve already come this far, you know that if you serve yourself, you’ll be ripped off within the day .
While I was blankly looking at Gaston’s back, a loud voice came from behind me .
“You guys! Quickly disperse now! What are you gathering for! You guys are in the way!”
A well-passed voice sounded and everyone turned around in unison .
Even those who had been complaining were stunned, holding their mouths when they looked at the direction of the voices .
I lagged behind the others a bit and turned around .
In the doorway of the Adventurer’s Support Center, six men in blue shining armor were standing side by side .
They were out of place around in this facility .
The armor was expensive to look at for an adventurer, and it was too clean, with hardly any dirt or scratches .
Besides, they were too well aligned .
The chest of the armor had a crest on it . Tentacles swirled against a background of blue-black vash (a flower that resembled a rose) .
It is the crest of this country, the Kingdom of Dinrat .
The vash is difficult to grow and is highly valuable, so it is depicted as a symbol of nobility, and the tentacles behind it represent the blessing of the Kudor god in this country .
No way, the Knights of the Kingdom?
The people around them seemed to have sensed their true identity and began to be noisy around again .
But when the man in the lead looked around the facility with a stern look, it became quiet .
“Hey, hey, Lancelot . Don’t scare them too much, your eyes… Don’t you feel sorry for them?”
With his voice, a girl appeared from behind the men .
The girl had scraped up her wavy blonde hair and was smiling with the corners of her mouth hanging up .
She was wearing a dress consisting of black, blue and white, with a blue Vache hairpiece on her head .
“Ha! I apologize, Charlotte-sama!”
The girl called Charlotte-sama smiled thinly and looked around the facility .
It was such cold eyes, as if she was looking at trash .
Our eyes almost met, and I couldn’t help but look down to the floor .
The name Charlotte sounded familiar .
The fourth child of the current King Dinrat, Princess Charlotte .
…… I don’t know the details, but I’ve heard a bad reputation of her for being the most troubled child in the royal family .
“Why don’t you bow to the frightened commoners there instead of me?”
“No, I can’t do that! I am Princess Charlotte’s Captain of the Elite Guards . For the sake of the dignity of my Lord, Charlotte-sama, I would not bow to such a person!”
“Kuku, I suppose so . Well, I don’t want to stay too long and smell like a commoner, so let’s get to the point quickly . ”
Charlotte flutters with her hand, fanning the air around her to let the air escape from the tip of her own nose .
Judging from her appearance, it seems that the Elite Guards Captain’s return is factored in, or something like a cliche .
What is this guy, she’s not at the level of being rude or anything like that anymore .
Elite Guards Captain Lancelot, after bowing deeply to Charlotte, turns his attention to the inside of the facility .
“Is there a Gaston or something like that here! Charlotte-sama has asked to see you! As a man of this country, there is no greater honor than that! You can come out now immediately!”
When Lancelot declared so loudly, there was a commotion in the area .
“H-, hey! The princess has come to see Gaston-san in person!”
“Are you Gaston-san’s scout?”
While the people around me were gleefully making a lot of noise, I was pale in silence with Mea .
Not just an idiot nobleman, but an idiot princess has been caught .
If we make a mistake in handling the situation, there was no telling what would happen .
In the worst-case scenario, both Gaston and I are in danger of losing our necks .
The city of Lomarn should be a good distance away from the royal capital .
It’s unlikely that the message arrived in three days and then the princess traveled all the way up here .
She was probably just in the neighborhood when she heard about the Zolomonia’s staff incident and became interested in Gaston, so she changed her plans and came to the city of Lomarn
