A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 201
Only Noblemtl
Episode 201. The story continued late into the night.
bang!
As I kicked open the door and went in, a familiar fat lady was cursing something at Schmidt.
“… … !”
Schmidt’s face brightened as soon as he saw me.
It looks like he was struggling to deal with that fat guy.
It seems that the other person could not understand sign language, and that he was trying hard to communicate using writing.
Judging by the way they were shouting and swearing and throwing stones, it seemed like communication wasn’t going smoothly.
Come to think of it, if Shushuruta and I left, only Miho and Schmitt would be left in the hideout.
Miho can’t communicate at all, and Schmidt can’t speak, so it’s a really confusing situation.
As soon as the lady saw me, her eyes widened and she immediately started swearing.
“you……!”
“Madam, shut up for a moment.”
I glanced upstairs and asked Schmidt.
“Is Miho still sleeping?”
Schmidt nodded.
I said to the speechless lady.
“Fat-faced. You’re lucky. Miho hasn’t woken up yet.”
“What?”
“If I had woken up the guy, he would have been in another world by now. Well, that’s why he’s still alive.”
The timing is also good.
If I had come back even a little later, the sleeping demon would have woken up, and then I would have had to move a very heavy corpse.
“lady!”
At this moment, the soldiers who had been lined up outside, who had finally come to their senses, rushed toward the door.
The lady said, pointing at me and shouting angrily, “That’s right.”
His thick jawline sways like waves.
“It’s him! A madman who dares to threaten to kill me, a lowly commoner! Make him behave and bring him before me.”
Sling-
The two knights lined up on either side of the lady drew their swords.
The soldiers outside the door blocked it at the knight’s gesture.
I scratched the back of my head with a troubled expression.
“… … Ah, what should I do with this.”
Anyway, this is a guest who came to the mercenary group, so I can’t kill him.
At this time, Hurd, who had been watching the situation from behind me, stepped forward.
“Baroness Montgomery? May I see you for a moment?”
Schmidt’s golden eyes widened at her appearance.
I crossed my arms with a proud look on my face.
‘Yeah, that’s what I’m saying, I brought the smarty Hurd.’
Schmidt looked at me with wide eyes, so I nodded and smiled.
“Schmitt, it’s my brother.”
“… … !”
I felt Schmidt looking up at me with eyes of infinite respect.
Hurd came over to me with a rather polite gesture, greeted the lady, and continued speaking in a calm tone.
“I think there was a misunderstanding due to poor communication between us. Excuse me, but what brings you to this shabby place? Oh, and may I ask if you knew where this place was before you came here?”
I noticed that Hurd’s tone became slightly sharper in the last sentence.
The lady answered in a casual, still haughty tone.
“Isn’t that the Sherwood Mercenary Group? I heard that they were a useful mercenary group, so I came here in person. As expected, since this is a place where stupid and dirty commoners gather, you don’t understand what I’m saying.”
Hurd muttered softly.
“What, you were just some idiot who didn’t know anything?”
It was a voice so small that only I could hear it.
Then he glanced at me and spoke so that only I could hear.
“I can’t believe Sherwood’s name has fallen so low.”
I also shook my head with a serious expression and sighed.
“Sherwood’s authority has fallen to the ground.”
During the time Guston was around, not even the empty nobles treated him so rudely.
Because this is the Sherwood Mercenaries.
No matter how much we distinguish between upper and lower classes based on social status and bloodline, and how we distinguish between commoners, nobles, and royalty.
When you look at the world broadly, it ultimately follows the logic of power.
If you look at the world after removing all that clutter.
The Sherwoods were not a group that could be ignored, no matter how successful the aristocracy was.
Not only are there a lot of platinum-grade mercenaries, but Guston the Greatsword is standing tall on top of them.
It’s not that my body is thoughtless and treated the Baroness like that.
In other words, if the leader turns his gaze and picks a noble family without thinking about the consequences, and the members agree with him and flock together, that territory will disappear from the map.
Even the royal family was keeping an eye on Sherwood.
How can a mere baroness be so arrogant… … .
It was a new realization of Sherwood’s current situation, which was close to collapse.
“Phew… … .”
As the captain of New Sherwood, this is a sigh of relief.
There was a long way to go.
The lady frowned.
“What are you whispering about?”
Hurd stepped forward calmly.
“Madam, put away your sword and speak to me.”
“hmm.”
“It is a great honor for us, the noble Baroness Montgomery, to come all this way to this humble place in person to entrust us with a commission, and we are so grateful that even a thousand words are not enough.”
… … What are you saying?
On the other hand, the plump lady seemed to like this uselessly long greeting, so she looked Hurd up and down, then covered her mouth with her fan and said:
“Huh. This one seems to be making some sense. Put your sword away.”
The knights were arrested.
“Let’s sit down and talk. I’ll bring you some tea.”
“……joy.”
I was curious to see how Hurd would deal with this chubby, self-important brat, so I decided to stand behind her and watch the situation unfold, like Hurd’s subordinate.
Schmidt quickly brought out the tea and stood next to me, and Shushuruta also quickly brought Linda and sat next to me.
Hurd skillfully led the conversation while drinking tea.
He lightened the mood by complimenting the lady’s family background, her clothes, accessories, and appearance.
I slowly brought up the main topic.
“May I ask why you have come here in person?”
The lady folded her fan and pointed at me with it.
“I personally came here to offer a favor before. At that time, that red-eyed bastard, a commoner, dared to threaten to kill me. I personally led the soldiers to come and give him the appropriate punishment.”
Hurd sighed deeply as if he knew what he was talking about.
“I will apologize on your behalf.”
“Huh, I didn’t come here looking for an apology like that.”
“Is there anything you would like?”
“I would feel better if I could cut off his neck.”
Okay-
The lady spread out her fan and covered her mouth.
“I will give you a chance because I am merciful.”
“If there is a chance.”
“Get on your knees and beg. And make my request your top priority and resolve it as quickly as possible. Then I will let you pass once for all.”
Hurd turned his head and glanced at me.
“Would you like to kneel?”
“no.”
Hurd sighed and said to the lady.
“Can I check the details of your request first?”
The lady handed over a small note.
“… … .”
Hurd closed his eyes and exhaled deeply after reading the request written on the note.
“… … I tried to handle it nicely since it was my first time.”
He muttered softly and then looked at the lady with a smiling face.
“Madam, I’m sorry, but this won’t work.”
“What?”
The lady’s eyebrows twitched.
Hurd said with a still smiling face.
“You think like that. It’s disgusting. You are a disgrace to the nobility. It’s people like you that are the reason Ashvan hates the nobility.”
“… … !”
The lady jumped up from her seat.
The jawline rippled like waves once again.
“What did you just say?”
Hurd also got up without giving up.
“I’m disgusted. You’ve gained so much weight. Your face is so big that the fan can’t even cover it, but why does that damn fan keep opening and closing? It’s driving me crazy.”
Her jaw quivered.
‘Oh, that damn chin fat. I keep seeing it.’
[Don’t you keep worrying about me because of you? Shut up.]
The lady pulled her arm back.
“This bitch dares—”
Crack!
The lady touched my cheek with a startled expression.
I was a little surprised too. It seemed like he was trying to handle it amicably. Then he suddenly slapped me in the face?
“Gah, how dare you say it’s safe!”
Chaechang!
The knights on either side drew their swords.
Hurd said with a still smiling face.
“You said Baroness Montgomery?”
“Yes! I am the noble Baroness Montgomery! A lowly commoner like you dare not look upon―”
“Let me formally greet you. My name is Hudmilla Richitiello, the young lord of the Richitiello family.”
Then, he showed me a badge with his family crest engraved on it.
The Baroness’s face turned pale.
“Lee, Richie?”
I don’t know much, but I think the Ricciello family is somewhat famous.
It seems that the more famous he is, the stronger his power is.
“I heard that Baron Montgomery is in the strawberry business… … .”
“… … !”
“You took out a loan from Richie Tello to expand your business too quickly, right? You also asked for their cooperation.”
“That, that’s… … !”
“But how dare you threaten and yell at the lord of the Richitiello family… … Oh, you even tried to slap him. No matter how much you distinguish between public and private life. Don’t you think this is a bit much?”
Hudmilla, who had been smiling brightly, quickly withdrew her smile and spoke in a cold tone.
A bright purple light streamed from her eyes.
“Kneel down. If you don’t want your noble family to be ruined.”
* * *
After the fat lady left in a hurry with her men.
I asked Hurd with a slightly disappointed heart.
“You. Have you been doing it like this all along?”
If that’s the case, then why did you kick me and the others out?
Hurd answered, sipping his tea in a lonely manner.
“Would I have? This has rarely happened before.”
“So you’re saying it happened?”
“I have to act differently depending on who the other person is. No matter how precious the guest is, I can’t just accept it. The guest isn’t the king.”
Click.
Hurd added, quietly putting down his teacup.
“And this makes me a little angry too.”
“hmm.”
“We need to stop this kind of thing resolutely so that similar things don’t happen in the future.”
I thought for a moment and then asked.
“But is it okay to use the name Richiello like that? I’m not sure, but haven’t you left the family? I heard something about you being expelled from the family.”
“What? Did you hear that?”
“It just so happened.”
“… … Even my ears have become brighter.”
Hurd shrugged.
“So what? As you said, I am no longer Richie. The family will take care of it.”
“… … It’s just going out.”
Schmidt sat down next to Hurd and started waving his hands wildly.
Judging by the speed, I could tell he was very excited.
Hurd smiled and patted Schmidt on the head.
“Yes, golden little one. Nice to meet you too. You seem to have grown a lot. How have you been? I heard from Ashvan that you were the first one to come to visit me?”
While the two Sherwoods were chatting happily, a white fox came down the stairs from upstairs, sniffing.
His eyes were bleary, as if he had just woken up.
“It smells familiar. Is Hudmilla here?”
“Miho!”
What’s strange is that when Miho appeared, the spirits surrounding Hud quickly ran away.
-Ugh!
-Run away!
I tilted my head at the sight.
‘Do the spirits fear the devil?’
An ingenious idea occurred to me that if she kept pestering me too much, I could just hold Miho in my arms.
Anyway, this is the moment when the demon and the spirit master meet again.
-dripping.
There was a knock on the door.
Shushuruta said.
“Someone came.”
“I’ll go.”
As I walked briskly to the door and opened it, a girl with brown hair was standing there, hesitating.
It was an unexpected guest.
He was a guy I knew too.
“……merry?”
“Um… Mr. Ashvan, may I come in?”
The tone was so cautious that I chuckled.
“What could possibly go wrong?”
Linda and Shushuruta welcomed her more warmly than I did.
“Merida!”
“Mary’s here! The sound of her footsteps and breathing feels familiar.”
I asked Mary.
“What are you doing here?”
“Oh, that’s it. It’s nothing much, but… I just wanted to help.”
“Help? What help?”
“Oh. I’m sure it won’t be much help, but I’m good at housework. Cleaning, laundry, cooking, anything.”
“What?”
My eyes grew wide involuntarily.
Because he was the talent Sherwood needed most right now.
The current state of affairs at home is miserable.
It was only natural, since all they did was fight, and one of them was a fox.
Mary, who had been wringing her hands, looked at me with a sullen expression.
“… …Can’t I?”
Hot
.
I immediately grabbed Mary’s hand.
“let’s go.”
“Yes, yes? Where?”
“Where is it? It’s a mercenary guild. Hud!”
Hud, who was holding Miho in his arms and fondling her, looked at me.
“why?”
“Let’s pull out the bull’s horn in one go. Let’s go to the guild.”
“okay.”
Hud, who immediately understood my intentions, got up from his seat while holding Miho in his arms.
“Linda, you come with me.”
“huh!”
There were three people who called, but everyone followed them out.
I took the guys and went straight to the mercenary guild.
bang!
“Accept the mercenaries!”
Boris sighed as he filled out the paperwork behind the reception desk.
“Ah… That tax collector guy. He was quiet for a while.”
“Hand over three applications for membership in the mercenary corps.”
Boris started to babble and said that he had to register as a mercenary first before joining the Sherwood Mercenary Group.
Of course, since Hurd was already a platinum-grade veteran mercenary, he simply filled out the application for membership in the mercenary group.
With this, the members of the New Sherwood Mercenary Corps are me, Shushuruta, Schmit, Miho, Linda, Hudmilla, and Mary.
Our ace Mary asked cautiously, fiddling with the wooden deck.
“Um… can I join a great place like the Sherwood Mercenaries?”
I told the truth with a serious face.
“Mary, there is no unit more important than you here.”
“… … !”
Mary looked moved, clenched her small fists, and answered resolutely.
“I will work hard… … !”
Whatever.
I just led the guys and stormed into Uncle Sven’s shop.
The sun hasn’t set yet, but so what.
As you eat and drink, the sun will set.
Of course, I brought Boris too.
“Oh, you idiot. I have something to submit by today!”
“You ungrateful bastard! You have a spirit of disaster, crazy Linda, and Mary all in one place, and you’re going to miss out? You can’t do that, you idiot.”
“Ah, shit… … .”
We all ate pig’s feet together at Uncle Sven’s restaurant.
It was especially delicious today.
“For Sherwood!”
“For!”
The conversation continued late into the night.
