The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 283: People with no Common Sense

You need two transfer gates to travel from Bayeux to the Dwarven village. In other words, I need to have at least one relay point.

However, to not allow Jack any chance to escape, I connect the two transfer gates like a tunnel.

Originally, even one gate would put a heavy burden on a common mage but the burden of having multiple gates up at the same time is incomparable to that.

It is something that is simply impossible for ordinary people but this is accomplishable easily by an SS-rank adventurer.

There is no problem regarding the burden on the caster but the transfer itself might cause some nausea.

I might have done something terrible to Egors house but it should be fine. He should forgive me with a bottle of alcohol after all.

Thinking so, I transferred to the Dwarven village.

Then.

So its your fault! You damn old fart!!

Shut up! Is puking at others a way of greeting in your country!?

Shut it! Its the damn transfers fault that made me feel sick!!

Its because you drank too much that you got drunk!

Dont just blame it on me damn it!!

Egors house was half destroyed and Egor and Jack are shouting at each other outside.

Seeing them arguing with each other, I let out a sigh.

However, in that situation, someone pulled on my clothes.

Dont just sigh at them, cant you do anything about this?

Y, Yeah.

It was Sonia.

Even though she has a big smile on her face, I can tell by her atmosphere that Sonia is angry.

Feeling the indescribable feeling of dread, I obediently nodded.

Then, I lock the two of them in two separate barriers.

However.

With this..

Naive!

Weak!

.

The two broke my barrier with only a punch.

The two broke into a fight again. Even though their punches hold that much power, the fact that they didnt even put a scratch on each other is a testament to their strength.

They just dont have any common sense at all!

A person that suddenly transferred a person with no common sense to another persons house also doesnt have any common sense okay? You know that right?

Dont lump me together with them. I wont just get drunk like that.

I see, so you have no common sense even while you are sober huh.

Even though I wanted to protest Sonia who said that like I am only slightly better than these two drunk old men, I have no time for that.

Stopping these two take priority.

I search the half-destroyed house for Egors white cane. This is Egors favorite sword as well as his cane.

I hold the cane with one hand while holding Jacks bow in another and call out to them.

Oi, you two. If you value your weapons then stop right now.

You are the worst.

At least put it as being smart.

Ah? Silver, you bastardafter you just shamelessly abducted me you are taking my weapon hostage!? Quit fooling around!!

Hmph! My beloved sword can not be destroyed by you so easily!

Hearing Egor, I gave him a nod.

They are weapons of two SS-rank adventurers, there is no doubt that they are weapons of the highest grade.

If I want to break them then I would need some preparation and the two wouldnt give me the time to do that.

However.

I didnt say that I am going to break them. I will just randomly transfer them away.

wHaT? Then I just have to search the continent for it! Hearing what you want to say is much more irritating!

I, I can live without my cane anyway

Then I guess I will just transfer them away together with this fine bottle of alcohol then.

I add the alcohol I bought from Bayeux to the stake.

What!? You are even holding that hostage!?

You bruteI thought that you are only a gloomy guy but you want to go that far!? Release the bottle!

Just why is using the alcohol is more effective I wonder..

Sonia astoundedly muttered.

You need a non-common sense measure to negotiate with people with no common sense.

For the time being, stop fighting and hear me out. If you do that then I will give it to you.

Fine. I sobered up when I was fighting the old fart earlier anyway.

If I can get that alcohol then its alright with me.

Wasnt that the alcohol that Ojii-san aske.

Keep quiet. They already agreed to the terms. The negotiation is concluded.

..

Thus the fight between SS-rank adventurers came to an end.

An inquiry? Why do I have to get involved with something so troublesome?

Jack frowns while drinking the alcohol inside Egors half-destroyed house.

Egor and I are trying to persuade him so we are currently sitting down on the opposite side.

I think that it is troublesome too. But if we allow this to pass, it will be even more troublesome for us in the future right?

Egor pours alcohol into his cup and drinks it up.

Without losing to him, Jack also drinks his at the same rate.

A bottle wont be enough huh.

If they are getting too annoying then I will just quit the Adventurer Guild. Im going to do whatever I want.

I am asking for your help so it wont come to that. It should be enough to shut the council up this one time. Its not too difficult compared to asking for your help. The problem now is to make sure they give up for good after we shut them down this time.

If the target of this inquiry was another SS-rank adventurer instead of me, Im sure that they will quit the guild without any negotiation.

Considering that development, right now it would be best that we shut the council up about this for good.

Currently, SS-rank adventurers have the freedom to act. We can go wherever and whenever we want. Thats the reason the current council doesnt like the SS-rank adventurers.

They think that they can manage us because they only hear about us from the report.

However, they should realize that it is a grave misunderstanding if we simply appear in front of them.

Naturally, shutting them up is not my only goal.

If you want them to give up then you can just try throwing your magic at Barbel you know.

If the Adventurer Guild is in chaos then it will cause people to worry. There is already a war between the superpowers of the continent. I want to avoid using forceful means as much as possible.

So you want to have a talk with them huh.

Exactly.

For the people huhmust be hard.

Jack sighs and scoops up his flaxen hair.

His eyes that possess the same color stare straight at me.

If an SS-rank adventurer leaves the guild, the whole continent will be in chaos. I understand..cant help it, I will lend you a hand this time.

You have my thanks.

But it wont be for free. You have to help me search for what I am looking for in return.

Well, I guess as much.

Jack always wandered around the continent because he was searching for something.

Alright. When this is over, I will help you with your search. As much as I can that is. By the waythe thing you are looking for..is it your wife and child?

It was at first. But.. My wife died eight years ago. My daughter was raised by my mentor. It seems that after leaving me, my wife turned to him. I only knew about that when I got the letter informing me that my wife passed away. At least I want to apologize to her grave and see my grown-up daughter once.

The letter didnt tell you where they are?

That part wasnt included. It was sent to the guild in the first place. According to my wifes will, it seems that she doesnt want me to meet my daughter. I have no intention of calling myself her father. I dont have the qualification to do that. But, I want to look at my own daughter at least once

I see.

We took a break after that and I stepped out to get some fresh air.

I take a deep breath and look up at the sky.

To be Jacks mentor means that he would be a master of magic bow.

And I know a girl who learned some strange speaking habits and magic bow techniques from someone she called Ojii-sama.

Given her age, it wouldnt be strange if she is Jacks daughter.

Is it a coincidence?

The world seems to be wide yet sometimes it can be so narrow.

However, if I tell him now, he would immediately head to the Dominion.

Lets keep it to myself for the time being.

Even if it is not a coincidence but something inevitable.

I dont know if it is something that I should just tell him.

Theres no use thinking about it huh.

They will have a chance to meet each other someday.

The Dominion is currently at war with the Empire anyway.

I can ask her later.

Whether she wants to try meeting her father or not.

There is also the possibility that they are complete strangers as well.

Convincing myself so, I returned inside Egors half-destroyed house.
