When the sun was near the top .
“He’s here!” [Ryouma]
I waited at a corner of the guild around the time when Jeff was supposed to go home . After one hour of waiting, I spotted him .
He was reporting the success of his quest when I called out to him .
“Jeff-san . ” [Ryouma]
“Hmm? Oh, Ryouma . What’s up?” [Jeff]
“I was hoping to take you up on your offer the other day . ” [Ryouma]
“Oh, that’s pretty quick . I thought you’d think about it some more, but sure . Shall we go now?” [Jeff]
“Sure, but are you sure you’re good today?” [Ryouma]
“It’s fine . I’m going to the slum today anyway . My house is in that direction too . ” [Jeff]
“Thanks . ” [Ryouma]
I followed Jeff-san and helped him with some shopping he did along the way . Apparently, he was buying some provisions for the slum people . According to him, everyone in the slums of Gimuru help each other out a little bit like this .
“The income has been bad recently too . We’re almost there . ” [Jeff]
As we chatted and walked, the people around us grew sparser by the minute, until eventually, the houses changed into older looking ones . Children dressed in poor clothing could be seen here and there .
Whenever they would notice us, they would wave at Jeff-san and call out to him . Jeff-san would respond, of course . What a peaceful scene . It seems Jeff-san is really loved . I continued to walk behind Jeff-san, and while gazes gathered on me too, I couldn’t feel any ill will from them . It seems I won’t have to fear being mugged .
We continued for a little more, and then eventually, we reached an old building that’s bigger than the other old buildings .
“Gramps, you there?” [Jeff]
Jeff-san called out as he knocked on the door . When he did, the door opened .
I could feel a trace of mana . It’s magic…
“Seems he’s in . Let’s go . ” [Jeff]
I followed Jeff-san inside, and what greeted us was a big room .
Past the door was a simple desk and a 60-years-old man sitting on a large chair .
“You came again?” [Gramps]
The man brushed his white hair as he leaned back onto his chair and quietly spoke .
“Jeff . I’m glad you’re always helping me out, but I’m not old enough to be called gramps just yet . ” [Gramps]
“You’re plenty old enough, gramps . ” [Jeff]
“My legs and loins are still fine, so I’m not a gramps just yet . So, what’s with the kid? You want me to look after him too?” [Gramps]
“This guy here is an exceptional adventurer . He’s good enough to feed himself, at least, so that’s not what I brought him here for . He’s here to talk . And by talk, I mean the kind of talk that might bring money to the slums . ” [Jeff]
“Ho…” [Gramps]
The man looked at me .
“It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance . I am Ryouma Takebayashi . ” [Ryouma]
“That sort of well-mannered words is useless here . The name is Revel . I’m the manager of Gimuru’s slums . Jeff’s introducing you, so you’re probably trustworthy, but I’ll warn you so you know . Don’t think you can just do whatever you w ant around here . I’d be grateful if we could keep our relationship harmonious . ” [Revel]
I felt a strong pressure when he spoke . As expected of the manager of the place .
“But, of course . I also don’t wish for conflict . ” [Ryouma]
When I said that Revel snorted smiled .
“Didn’t shirk even a little, eh? …Seems you got some balls, kid . ” [Revel]
“Duh . He’s someone I acknowledged . ” [Jeff]
“Right . So, what ‘good stuff’ did he want to talk about?” [Revel]
“Let me answer that . ” [Ryouma]
It concerns my store, so I should at least be the one to talk .
“…And that’s the gist of it . ” [Ryouma]
