Chapter 33-Simon clinging and Yuk's anger

 

"What the hell is this?"(Simon)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 As soon as Simon spotted me, he came at me with the remains of a mailbird that he thought had just been blown away.

 

 

 

 In the crumpled paper, there is a note in red ink that Mamaru had written earlier.

 

 

 

 She works really fast.

 

 

 

"It's nothing wrong. It's just the way it is."(Yuki)

 

"'Colorless Darkness'? That's what you want! Why would you say no?"(Simon)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Why does this guy not listen to me at all?

 

 

 

 I think that letter was all you need to understand about that one request rejection earlier.

 

 

 

 But, well, I guess I'm also  ...... surprised.

 

 

 

 He remembered about my dream enough to flick the "colorless darkness" as bait.

 

 

 

"My goals are a little different now. I'm very proud of my former party for taking on the most difficult dungeon in the kingdom. Good luck to you."(Yuki)

 

"Don't talk to me like I'm somebody else!  We're already talking about you as if you were a member of the team."(Simon)

 

"It's a selfish thing to do. ...... How can you be so short sighted? I don't know where or to whom you're explaining that, but I'm not going. At least not with you 'Thunderpikes'."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Simon's face turns red and he closes in on me.

 

 

 

 Is he impatient or angry?

 

 

 

 Or maybe both. Either way, it's your fault for letting go of your composure so quickly.

 

 

 

"Come on, Yuki!"(Simon)

 

"You're the one who's losing your cool, Simon."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I sighed loudly and looked at Simon, who was glaring at me.

 

 

 

"I know I'm repeating myself, but I'm already the leader of another party."(Yuki)

 

"It's only a C-rank party. And I put my hands around you like this to make it easier for you to get out, didn't I?."(Simon)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Simon presents the request form, which has completely turned into garbage.

 

 

 

 I don't think so, but was that pathetic piece of bad manners supposed to be caring?

 

 

 

"Simon, if you think about it for a moment, you'll understand.I'm not a freelance adventurer looking for a job. Do you understand that?Asking someone from an active party to nominate you for a temporary spot is a terrible breach of etiquette, just like pulling someone out of a job.And since it's a request, I have the right to refuse. And---."(Yuki)

 

"Shut up!"(Simon)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Simon shouts, interrupting my polite explanation.

 

 

"You're the one who left on your own!  You're causing us trouble!I even got a request to investigate the Colorless Darkness for you, you know.Normally, you should come back if you've been conceded this much!"(Simon)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Simon became even more agitated as he sighed loudly again.

 

 

 

 Either he's got a screw loose, or he never had a screw in the first place. ...... Either way, my childhood friend from my hometown seems to be a lot more demented than I thought.

 

 

 

"Don't talk about my leaving as if I'm selfish or something, Simon."(Yuki)

 

"What the hell, ......?"(Simon)

 

"I  took the initiative in preparing for the adventure, researching the requests, and gathering the knowledge necessary for the attack. It must have been quite comfortable for you to have me handle everything you needed for your adventure except for the combat."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I remember everything that has happened so far, and I feel a boiling anger welling up in me.

 

 

 

"Every day, every ...... day, I've put up with you guys, thinking that you guys would eventually understand me, that you would accept me as your friend and true member of the party. It is you who betrayed me. Don't pretend to be one of friends now!"(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Simon, who looked intimidated by my voice, changed his color and lowered his tone.

 

 

 

"Hey, ......, Yuk. Come back then. We're all chasing the same dream, right?It'll work out this time."(Simon)

 

"Don't be so familiar. My friends are the Clovers. Not you Thunderpike."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Simon took a step or two back, as if he was stepping on a switch.

 

 

 

"What about us, then?We can't fail anymore, okay?If we don't, our rank will drop and we'll be ...... ruined!"(Simon)

 

 

 

"I don't care what happens to you!"(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 My emotional but sincere cry echoed through the guild.

 

 

 

 It's not very commendable to have this kind of exchange in public.

 

 

 

 But I couldn't stand Simon saying what he wanted.

 

 

 

"......"(Simon)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The guild's tavern was filled with the stifled whispered laughter that escaped from those around me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Simon looks at me in shock.

 

 

 

 But if I hadn't said this, he wouldn't have understood.

 

 

 

 This childhood friend of mine is positive in a strange way. If I were to muddle my words here, or even use a roundabout way of speaking, he might interpret it in his own way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In the first place, you ...... have not once said sorry until this point.

 

 

 

 You've never apologized for your behavior.

 

 

 

"I've already found a new place and a group of people I can truly trust. I will never go back to Thunderpike."(Yuki)

 

"What the ...... hell?I screwed up the court-appointed mission because I knew you'd come back!"(Simon)

 

"Don't tackle that dungeon with such a lazy outlook. That's the last advice I can give you. Let's go, Rain."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I pulled Rain's hand, which had been silently holding mine as if to encourage her, and walked past Simon.

 

 

 

"If that's the way you want to play it, then I've got some ideas of my own!"(Simon)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I didn't reply to Simon's voice from behind me, and I left with Rain.
