159 157 White Dog Old Man

"Fran! Wait a minute."

"Hmm?"

It was Elsa who called and retained us walking from the inn to the labyrinth.

He comes running with his inner crotch rocking that giant. Hmm, that's a lot of power.

Ursi seems to agree, pinching his tail between his crotches and laying down. I lost my temper from the start.

Fran's the only one who's okay. That's amazing, Fran.

"Elsa, what's going on?

"Actually, there's someone who wants to see Fran. The guy asked me to come and ask Fran."

"Someone you want to see? To me?"

"Yes! The adventurer told me you were interested! Rumor has it I'd love to meet the Devil's Sword girl! What do you say?"

"What kind of person?

"Hmm, you're not a bad person, are you? I'm not even tough because I used to be an adventurer. He's like a bunch of beastmen in this town, so I don't think it's gonna hurt to get to know him."

It's a connection that could be useful if we get along. It's just that we're not necessarily the ones to get along.

In some cases, they're going to think you're busy. Besides, he's an animal man, isn't he? It's frightening to see Fran from the Black Cat Clan.

(But introducing Elsa)

"Well, I don't think Elsa will introduce Fran to the weird guy..."

"I get it. You're anxious, aren't you?

"Mmm."

In many ways.

"It's okay! I'm with you! If that person tries to imitate Fran silly, because I will crush him responsibly!

What? How? Uh, Ursi's in tears. Look, I'm not scared.

"... ok. Meet"

"Thanks! Well, I'll show you around."

"Mmm."

"Can I take a shortcut? I think Fran and the others can follow you."

That's what Elsa jumped.

Apparently, he's willing to run on the roof and shortcut to his destination. If it's a maze town, does it have one? I'm worried you might get mad at me.

No, does anyone complain to Elsa face to face? Well, if it's going to shorten the time, okay?

"Mm-hmm. It's okay."

"On!"

"Over here!

Ten minutes later.

We were in front of a big mansion there.

I don't even go with the nobles, but it's a mansion that seems quite rich. There are two fairly strong looking Beastman gatekeepers standing at the entrance.

"Here?"

"Yeah. It's where Orrell Ong lives. Hello."

"Dear Elsa! Long time no see. Please come through."

"Sorry to bother you. Oh, don't worry, these kids are with me."

"Ha."

Oh, a face pass to Fran or Ursi. That's Elsa.

"I liked it when I did all sorts of requests from the lord here, Aurel Ong. Now you're free to go in and out."

"Wide"

"On"

"You're a former Rank B adventurer, and you're a successful trader. He also used to serve the king."

You mean a successful man like the one in the picture? So it doesn't suit Fran better. Right. If this is going to sound like a muzzle, let's disperse it for a good reason before we get eyes on it.

Well, my eyes are closed when they're calling.

And you have a big garden. We're not getting to the Mansion yet.

The garden was filled with color-picking flowers, with fountains and statues, and a very beautiful sight. Elsa tells me the name of the flower or something.

Fran and Ursi don't seem to be interested at all, though.

"Grandpa! Here he comes."

"Dear Elsa,"

"Shara, where's Orrell Ong?

"Now I am forgiven on the terrace"

"Thanks, Fran. This way."

"Mmm."

The maid was also a face pass. I guess it's a place I know on my own. Elsa, who refuses to guide the maid, takes Fran on an unmistakable footing.

Elsa headed for the terrace behind the second floor. This place is huge, too. Moreover, thanks to the high ground of this mansion itself, there is a view of the town of Urmut. Looks like Fran and Ursi were impressed with this view.

"Ooh."

"Ohoo."

Running over to the railing for a small run, I'm looking at town from the terrace. By the old man who would be the master of the mansion.

"Ha. Do you like it?

Good, looks like someone with a lot of weight. He stares at Frans staring at the town of Urmut with a smiling face.

"Mm-hmm. Wow."

"On"

"That's good. I'm Widget Orrell of the White Dog Clan. Can you tell me your daughter's name?

"Mm-hmm. Fran the Black Cat Clan. This is Ursi."

"On!"

"Thank you for accepting my invitation today. Well, come sit down."

I don't know, it's different from Elsa's. That one, the mafia's donkey? That's how powerful it is.

He's probably pretty old, but his spine is pinned, and he's trying to walk.

"Grandpa, what are you over 70? You want me to tell you how you're doing so well ~"

"It's an easy thing. Always strive for it with purpose. That way, I'll lose my old free time."

I'm glad you're not the kind of bothersome person I imagined.

"This is it, it's delicious, try it. It's my thing."

"Mmm."

"This tea is from the Chrome continent, too, isn't it? That's the only hobby I've learned since I was older."

"What about the garden?

"That's because I'm just asking the gardener to do the right thing. If you let me do what I want, it'll be the jungle in no time."

They advance the teas and treats prepared by the maid.

"So? What did you call me?

"Ha. It's because of you. There's no particular reason. I just heard that a demon sword girl who's been rumored lately is an animal man. I thought I'd see you."

"As I said earlier, because my grandfather is like the face of an animal man in this town. Looks like Fran cared."

"What a big face, because you've been an adventurer in this Ulmut for over 50 years. It's a little wide."

Is that really all you got? Nothing in particular? Let's use the logic of lies here. Fran just told me I overused it, but I can't help it here!... right?

"Because I heard you say you're a horribly strong beast girl. I got interested."

"What do you say, Grandpa? Fran will be adorable! And he's so strong!

"You're not the kind of daughter I think you'd like. Well, I'm not afraid of me. - I haven't had a kid in a while. I like it. Apparently the rumors are true? And Elsa's heartbeat."

It's true that you like it.

"I am the Black Cat Clan. Still believe me?

"Oh? It doesn't mean you're absolutely vulnerable because you're a Black Cat, does it? In fact, I've met some strong black cats when I was younger, haven't I? In the dungeons here."

Orrell says somewhere nostalgic.

"Huh? I've never heard that before."

"I never said that."

"How's the guy doing now?

Fran asked in a rare and strong tone. Well, I've never heard anything about a strong black cat family other than myself.

"... how are you doing now... I don't know."

"So what was he like?

"Well, that was 53 years ago. I already forgot."

That's a lie. But how could you be deluded? Would you have died in a dungeon? In fact, the look on Orrell's face is dark. Maybe I don't want to go into too much detail.

"If you're dealing with a beast, you have some face. If you have any problems, say anything. I'll do what I can."

It seems true that you will do something for Fran, okay? Let's not go into the Black Cat thing. If you go into something you don't want to talk about, you might piss off your friendly opponent.

"Actually, there's one thing for the lady, she's making a request. Ready?"

"Like what?"

"Delivery request. The place is right around the corner. If it was Elsa, it would be over by the end of the day."

"Then why don't you ask Elsa?

"No, I want to ask a lady. What do you say?"

"Okay."

Oh, you answered instantly. It sounds a little suspicious, but if Fran thinks he can take it, he's not complaining about me.

"Right. Thank you."

"Mmm."

Orrell smiles with a horrible face. He really wanted Fran to take it.

"Then, please. I want this guy delivered to someone."

"Pendant?

What Orrell had given Fran was a pendant he was wearing around his neck. It's a black stone pendant.

Whatever you think, you're a regular, cheap pendant.

"Oops. Deliver this to the Dungeon Master in the East Dungeon."

"To the Dungeon Master?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

"Mm-hmm. Okay."

I knew it was a mystery. Well, what happens with this request?
