Correct ribbon usage

***---***

Dear Sir

The great leader of the famous adventurer party Flamehounds, Bartolo-sama.

Please forgive me for the sudden and unscrupulous letter.

The reason I wrote this letter is because I became aware that everyone had a misunderstanding due to the fact that Chozari-sama and Tony-sama visited my boarding house.

Since I make use of monsters, it seems that they has been a simplistic and easy misunderstanding that I was attracting groups of monsters, but there is no such fact.

If I have the power to attact a horde of monsters, I would gather them away from Volzard and subdue them.

This is because there are many people who have taken care of me in Volzard, and if I make a mistake, they can be hurt.

I think that everyone can understand that I would not dare to create such a dangerous situation.

Chozari-sama and Tony-sama's actions this time are unfortunate events that happened because they had a terrible misunderstanding, did not confirm the facts, and had a selfish idea that they were justice.

However, it would be difficult for a renowned adventurer party such as yourself to apologize to me, an unknown person and a child, because of their tiny pride.

So tomorrow, on the afternoon of water day, I will go out of my way to visit you under the premise of seeking reconciliation.

I will arrange for the residents of Volzard to be informed that I have settled the matter.

Everyone of the famous Flamehounds, I'm sure you will agree with me, I apologize for troubling you all, but please wait with everyone.

Best regards, from Kent

[ Yup, something like this? How is it? ]

After rewriting many sheets, I finally asked Reinhardt to take a look at the completed letter.

[ Buhahaha, Kent-sama, this is a very polite letter of reconciliation. ]

[ Yeah, because it's a letter to people older than me, I have to be careful with my language. ]

[ Buhahaha, so Kent-sama, how will you give them this letter? ]

[ Yeah, I'm thinking of leaving it, with a ribbon ... ]

Reinhardt tilted his head when I showed the red ribbon given by Amanda-san.

Yeah, the skeleton that tilts his neck after a long time is good.

[ Kent-sama, how is that ribbon used? ]

[ It'll be fun to see. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to write it. PS ... ]

[ I see ... anyway, where ... I wonder? ]

[ I'm looking forwards to seeing that too. ]

Having finished preparing the letter, I moved to the Flamehounds people that Mart was keeping an eye on.

Bartolo and the others seem to be getting drunk at a detached building of the Orlando Store.

In the daytime, in the room on the table where Chezari and Tony were getting scolded, a liquor bottle rolled around, and all five had drunken eyes, repeating bragging stories that I'm unsure of whether they were lies or truth.

"The most dangerous thing was when I fought a Salamander."

Bartolo looked up at the words of the shaved-headed giant, carrying a cup of liquor to his mouth.

"Jarma, that story, you promised you wouldn't tell."

"Well, don't say that, Bartolo's strength is known to both Tony and Chezari, but I'm wondering if there are any incompatible opponents in the world."

"Well, you just want to tell your heroic story, right?"

"Don't say that ..."

Jarma, who had a large shield when I saw him in the Devil's Forest, said that the battle with the fire-breathing earth dragon, Salamander, was extremely difficult.

At that time, Bartolo, Orest, and Jarma were forming a party with three people, but Bartolo's fire-based attack, which is the cornerstone of his strength, had no effect on the Salamander.

"So how did you defeat the Salamander?"

"Well, don't be in a hurry Chezari ..."

Soothing Chezari and Tony who were curious about the continuation, Jarma began to talk about how he strained his body to protect his companions from the attack of the Salamander, after some time of continuing to brag, he finally began to get to the point.

"Tony, what would you do if you don't have enough power?"

"In that case, I have no choice but to practice and improve my ability."

"Stupid, that's why you're still C-rank."

"Well ... then what would you do ..."

Jarma snorted, drank, and said with a tooth-baring grin.

"If you don't have enough power, you can borrow from another party."

"Ah ... you were fighting together?"

"Yes, depending on the monster, if left unattended, the damage may spread. I didn't have time to practice ascetic."

"Well then, during the time with the Salamander?"

"That's right, we struggled jointly with a user of water attribute magic named Metz, who it was said that being promoted to S-rank in the future was no mistake, and slew it."

"Metz, that's not a name I know, but is he such a great mage?"

"Ah, he was a great mage ... but he had an unfortunate accident even though he finally managed to defeat the Salamander ..."

When Jarma said such, Bartolo and Orest also opened their mouths in alignment.

"Oh, that was a really unfortunate accident ..."

"Well, Metz was a promising man ... I was really disappointed."

I got goosebumps when I saw the three people grinning and laughing.

[ Reinhardt, that ... ]

[ Most likely the adventurer, Metz, was killed by them. ]

I thought they would be a force when thousands or tens of thousands of monsters attacked, but they seem to be more vicious than I expected.

"Well, Chezari, Tony, adventurers lose if they die. If they don't live, they won't get money or women. If they survive, they'll get the credit of the dead."

"In other words ... don't have an unfortunate accident ... right?"

Tony replied with a smirk, and next to him, Chezari laughed as well.

However, the laughter of the other three seemed a little different.

Orest, the dog beastman suddenly got angry, and asked while glaring.

"Tony, Chezari ... do you guys understand the meaning of my words?"

"Eh ... meaning, isn't it natural ..."

"Hmm, I don't think you understand at all ..."

"What do you mean ..."

"Aah? You guys stepped on crap like today many times ... I'm telling you that unhappiness will come."

"Hiii ..."

"We don't want to see where our friends have an unfortunate accident, but ... somehow an unfortunate accident hits a guy who keeps messing up ..."

"Ah, having the party members and the adventurers who fought together die in an unfortunate accident causes a bad aftertaste ... You guys should be careful ..."

Tony and Chezari nodded and ran away from the drawing room and returned to their own rooms.

"Wasn't that overkill, Bartolo and Orest?"

"I thought about the future of the party and took the trouble of taking the hated role, you know, Bartolo?"

"Hmm, I think it was just a joke, but ... I'm going to go through with it if they don't pull themselves together."

Bartolo replied uninterestingly, drinking alcohol.

"Well, that's just talk for now, I'll leave it at that for now ..."

"Ah, whether it's Gigawolf or a mass outbreak of monsters, there are likely to be scenes that require a decoy ..."

"Kukuku, Bartolo is totally ..."

Rather than not recognizing Tony and Chezari as official party members, the three, who are grinning and laughing disgustingly again, seem to have decided to use them as decoys for monsters.

[ Isn't it better to report these things to Donovan-dono? ]

[ Yeah, I'm going to make them say 'Ouch!' tomorrow afternoon, but I'll report after that. ]

Bartolo and his friends continued to drink for a while after they became just three people, but they finally raised themselves heavily and returned to their respective rooms.

[ Finally ... I'm tired of waiting. ]

[ Well, Kent-sama, how are you going to deliver the letter? ]

[ First, check on Bartolo ... ]

When Bartolo returned to his assigned room, he didn't change into his nightwear, and as soon as he lay down on his bed, he began to snore.

[ Hmm ... I don't think it's necessary, but just in case ... ]

I threw a sleeping pill into Bartolo's stomach and waited for a while.

I tried poking Bartolo's cheek after a while, but there is no sign of waking up.

I heard that he was an A-ranked adventurer, or ... I thought, but I was worried in vain.

[ Kent, is it the turn of the ale mug again? ]

[ No, I'm going to use a different method today. ]

I went out of the shadows into Bartolo's room, approached his bed, and turned over the blanked that he had kicked more than halfway off.

Loosen the belt, unbutton, slide down the pants, and then lower the underwear.

[ Wow! It's really big ... or not. It's not like 'Gao', it's like 'Nyan'. ]

[ Kent-sama? What the hell are you going to do ... Buho! Buhahaha you're decorating such a small place with a ribbon ... Buhahaha! ]

Reinhardt is on the floor laughing in agony.

Yeah, I'm glad he could only talk via telepathy, if he had a voice, the people around us would get up.

Tie Bartolo's crotch with a ribbon and place a letter prominently on the side table.

In the postscript of the letter, I wrote that if he refuses to reconcile with me or if he tries to go to the boarding house, I will cut it off next time.

Needless to say where.

I asked Hart, Hirt, Hurt, Hert, and Hort, who had been entrusted to Reinhardt to monitor Bartolo, and returned to the boarding house.

Tomorrow, no, the date has already changed, so it's today, but since the boys are going to work on the ramparts for the first time, I'll see them for the time being.

I don't have much time to sleep, but let's make it Fluffy.

"I'm sorry, the bed is small, so we'll take turns sleeping together, Mirt tonight, please."

"Wafu, I understand, Goshujin-sama."

Mirt wagged his tail happily, and Mart and Murt were downhearted, so I stroked them a lot before they returned to the shadow world.

If you lie down on the bed with Mirt's Fluffy, you will fall asleep in no time.

And the morning came in a blink of an eye, and after all Mart and Murt were on the bed, so it seems impossible to take turns.

I mean, I'm planning on lending them to Meisa-chan, but if they come back without permission, I'm likely to be resented by Meisa-chan, but is there a good way?

"I'll talk to yesterday's thugs today ..."

When I told Amanda-san after breakfast, she had a bitter expression.

"Kent, don't you feel like you're doing something dangerous?"

"That's ridiculous, we're just talking, and I'll report to Donovan-san properly, so it's okay."

"Well, that's fine, but don't do anything crazy."

"Yes, it's okay."

Actually, the report to Donovan-san is close to being post-approval, and it is assured that the meeting will be a bit ridiculous, but let's keep quiet about it.

"Mom ... Kent seems to be hiding something."

"Huh? Wh, what are you saying, Meisa-chan ... Jeez, no way ..."

Meisa-chan is troubling because she is strangely sharp even though she is a child.

"Ufufufu, Meisa-chan, boys have some secrets that they can't tell people."

"Muu ... Kent isn't erotic or dangerous, he's just Kent!"

"Yes, yes, it's okay because Reinhardt and the others will accompany me. Meisa-chan will be late for school if she doesn't hurry."

"Muu, you're so cheeky despite being just Kent!"

I tried tapping the head of the pouting Meisa-chan like a drum, but it feels like the corners of her mouth are drooping more and more.

She's seriously worried, so I shouldn't be mean, but it's time for me to go out.

Meisa-chan and I left the boarding house together, and I headed to the place where my classmates were constructing the walls.

My classmates are in charge of the foundation work at a place about one block away from the normal wall construction.

Even though it is called foundation work, it's basically just digging a hole.

Unlike Japanese construction sites, there are no heavy machinery such as power shovels and bulldozers, so construction can be carried out steadily by human power.

It seems that my classmates were brought from the prison be being led by a garrison person, but the garrison person seems to be leading from behind, he doesn't wear a sword, and he doesn't carry anything like a whip. Hmm.

And, as expected, Klaus-san was also seen at the construction site.

"Good morning, Klaus-san."

"Oh, Kent, did you come after all?"

"That's annoying, I was wondering if Klaus-san was coming ..."

"Well, I'm not going to participate in the construction today, but I have to see it as the lord ..."

"Thank you."

This morning, Klaus-san has the usual atmospher of an evil old man, so the classmates who are a little far away probably don't think he is the lord of Volzard.

The classmates are divided into two groups, one of which is a motivated group centered around Kondo.

The other has an expression that seems to be overtly dissatisfied, such as Takayama, Yagi, the old and new duo, and so on.

Klaus-san smiles with a joyful smile while looking at the two contrasting groups.

And before the construction started, Klaus-san opened his mouth to my classmates.

"You did well to come to Volzard, I'm Klaus, the lord of Volzard, you rash brats."

After all, it seems that they didn't think Klaus-san was the lord, and my classmates screamed.

"First of all, I would like to tell you that the wall construction is not for playing around, do it seriously! Otherwise, you will definitely get injured. Not only will you hurt yourself, but in some cases the lives of the people around you will be lost. You're in danger. Don't get distracted and take it seriously."

Although Klaus-san is talking about something that is natural but important, Takayama and his friends still have unruly expressions.

Seeing that, Klaus-san smiled again.

"Why do we have to do something like this ... are you thinking that? There, you, Shuichi Takayama!"

Named and pointed at by Klaus-san, Takayama made a bitter expression, but he doesn't reply and stays silent.

"Why do you have to be treated like this ... do you know the reason?"

Takayama shook his head silently.

"I'll tell you ... because you have a great talent."

"Eh?"

At the unexpected words of Klaus-san, Takayama's jaw dropped and he froze.

"I heard from Kent that it's been less than two months since you came to this world? In Resenburg, they didn't even teach you how to use magic, right?"

Takayama nodded silently this time.

"But you can shoot the magic that makes a shoe store half-burned in one shot, your talent is great."

"Oh, thank you ..."

Takayama thanked him in a polite tone, perhaps because he was praised and softened his attitude.

"But you're too mentally immature to handle that kind of magic."

Takayama has hardened his expression again, but Klaus-san continues to talk.

"In order to use such powerful magic, first of all, it is necessary to be careful not to involve allies or unrelated people. No, absolutely! For example, like this time, disturb the enemy in the middle of activation. Even if it is done, it is absolutely useless if you involve allies and unrelated people!"

As expected, Takayama also seems to be feeling guilty about burning an unrelated shoe store, so he began to listen to Klaus-san's story.

"But your magic jumped into an unrelated shoe store and half-burned the store. The people in the city think, he has a great magical talent ... but it's very dangerous ... Right?"

The classmates other than Takayama also swallow hard and listened to Klaus-san's story.

"You were called a Hero in Resenburg, but did they teach you how to use magic?"

"No, no ..."

"Then, keep in mind here that your magic is a violence that can easily kill people if you use it incorrectly."

Takayama nodded awkwardly at the glare of Klaus-san, who had erased his frivolous smile.

"Shuichi, are there immigrants and foreigners in your country?"

"Well ... yes, there are."

"What would the people of your country do if there were immigrants or foreigners who unthinkingly released magic or weapons that could easily kill people? Would you reach out to them with a smile? Or try to get rid of them?"

"That ... they would try to get rid of them ..."

"Here at Volzard, you're becoming a scary person to the average citizen who doesn't have much power."

Takayama seems to have finally begun to think about how he is viewed by the people of Volzard.

"If you go out into the city without taking any action, there will definitely be a movement to exclude you."

Klaus-san keeps talking while looking at the other boys.

"It's not just Shuichi, the other guys definitely have a higher magical power than the Volzard kids of the same age. What do you think?"

Even those who had an unruly expression when Klaus-san started talking are listening with a strange look.

"That's why I ask you guys to do this wall construction. It goes without saying what kind of place the Devil's Forest is outside the wall, isn't it? For Volzard, the wall brings peace. It's an important wall to keep living. If you are serious about the construction for the city, the view of the people in the city will change."

I'm ashamed to say that the construction of the ramparts is tough and punishable, but it has a decent meaning.

"Shuichi, the reason why only you are involved in the construction for a long time is because you have an outstanding talent and you will be watched by the residents of Volzard with strict eyes. Right now you are a very talented and extremely dangerous guy. However, if you continue to work on the construction seriously, they will think that it is a valuable talent, a talent that is difficult to obtain. To avoid relying on magic for everything, I forbid the use of magic with that bracelet."

Takayama looked astonished and looked down at the slave bracelet.

"Shuichi, you have a great talent. But you can't rely on that talent easily. To use strong magic, you need to have a high level of ethics. As it is, the way you are. You won't be recognized by the people around you. Well, you should be able to think about an adult who is ten years older than you are now. That may open the way for you to become a real hero. Like the other guys, Heroes have trials. Don't run away from these trials, face them head-on and defeat them."

When Klaus-san cut his words, everyone aws motivated.

It's frustrating, but it's a trick that I can't do right now.

That's why, let's work head-on with what I should do now so that I can become an adult who can compete with Klaus-san in the next 10 or 20 years.

I have a meeting with the Flamehounds people, so I left with Klaus-san who broke off and returned to the guild halfway.

I would like to express my gratitude for guiding my irresponsible classmates.

"Thank you. I was saved because some of them were honestly struggling."

However, what came back was laughter and unexpected words.

"Hmm, to cope with that brat, just tickle his vanity a little, he's rather simple-minded don't you agree? ... Donovan's glaring is effective, but he's no good at getting people to move by flattery."

"Then ... what was the story earlier?"

"Ah, I'm not saying it's all a lie, but Kent, Landshelt has a saying that even monkeys can be made use of with flattery ... Do you understand what that means?"

"Hmm ... well, maybe me too?"

"You, even if you don't get flattered, will work on your own, hahahaha."

I could only stand there stunned while watching Klaus-san walk away to the guild, leaving behind his laugh.

Damnit! Adults are unfair after all.

Listening to the story, I got a little angry, return my good impressions!
