Chapter 45
Vandal-Valsas-Blackhawk, Part 1 – The Beastman’s Troop
Karan, Karan…
There will be a call for a visit to the store. But the day is high in heaven, and there’s still time for this tavern to open. The manager seems to be thinking about trying lunch lately, but all he has is himself, the manager, and the kitchen dents. “You’d be absolutely overworked to death if they let you work any more,” he said, referring just to the arrowhead that Urd thought was blurry while polishing the table.
“Customer – Sorry, I’m not open yet”
It is a rare and somewhat overwhelming reply to Wold. You shouldn’t have done that.
“Oh? It’s not rice!
“What is this dog? Eat it!?
“Out of the way, kid.”
“Hih, hih?
It was murderous of me to be directed at Wold. Reply. Coming into the store were fairly poorly patterned beasts. There are scratches everywhere. Besides, they are beasts of diverse races. Wolves, bears, tigers, turtles, and a wide variety of others. Wold is scared that the same Hyundo (about the dogs where humans call them) said something about eating himself earlier. He thought for a moment about eating together and the worst way to die, etc., and because of it, Wold stood still, frightened. He is grabbed by a tiger beast man who was near the head.
“Get out of my way! Out of the way kid!!
“Hi-no! Excuse me, sir, I’m home!
“I’m a woman!
“Eh, confusing!
“Hmm!?
The tiger beast man opens his mouth all the time. Wold thinks it’s normal not to know if it’s a man or a woman if it’s so muscular, but for now, it’s him who really resented his own mouth, which is true.
“You doggy son of a bitch!”
But if you tell Meña that, she’ll be dead.
The beasts stood in their mouths, but as Urd heard the words, a word he really wanted to say leaked out of his mouth.
“Why is the name just such a cute su! Doesn’t fit the look.”
“This guy still says it!
Apparently, the line now was a bump for beasts other than Meigna. The surroundings are a big laugh, but Meigna at the time is Cancún. Before Megna turns bright red and floats blue, the boring idea of “you should have thought of a sentence of resignation or something, farewell to my life,” etc. makes Wold head. But at that time, a sharp voice echoed in the store.
“Stop it, you bastards!
That word stops the beasts laughing perfectly. It was in this and quite a small squirrel beast man who spoke out. Is one more head smaller than Uld, who has no connection with the battle? The squirrel tribe is supposed to be a fairly warm, battle-averse species, but this man has a big knife wound in one eye and is tight without a face or a piece of alarm. I guess he’s also the boss in this because nature and the beasts make their way when he tries to get out one step ahead. And when he came to the head and stared at Meña, he let go, as Meña was frightened.
“Totally Meña, I’m sorry. So what do they say about men and women? I’ll get my hands on it right away. Do something.”
“Shh, excuse me, Mr. Lasha…”
Meigna releases her hand as she was frightened and apologizes to the squirrel beast man known as Lasha.
“If you’re going to apologize, it won’t be me. You’re young, I’m sorry. My people are fighting a lot faster. This is it.”
The little beast man, called Lasha, bows his head deeply. To him like that, Wold waves to the side in a hurry.
“Oh, no! I’m the one who told my customers I was busy.”
“Mm-hmm. Well, we’re not guests.”
“So what can I do for you?
Lasha scratches her pompous head. Is there anything wrong with the decision?
“Oh, wolf boy… I need you to do something for Mr. Zeldos. Is Mr. Zeldos here?
“Zeldos is certainly our manager, but can I just ask you something first? If you don’t know who you are, you can’t let them meet our master.”
When they hear that line, the beasts behind them try to complain about something again, but Lasha stares at them with sharp eyes and controls them. Lasha was heartily impressed. This young beast man in front of you won’t have any martial arts minds, but he still doesn’t pull this bad patterned face forward. The way I was frightened until earlier seemed to be a lie. There are a lot of guys who mistake their liver for being fat simply because they have the power, they are always ironless and their liver looks fat, but not young people who know where their liver rests.
Lasha changed her mind, not just her attitude.
“This is the best. As long as you tell me that the squirrel Racha is here, you’ll be fine. Because the requirement is not something that can be mildly said here.”
“Okay. I’ll take care of it in a minute, please wait.”
“You don’t have to, Wold.”
Zeldos, the manager, appeared snuggly from the kitchen. At that moment all beasts kneel one knee. Uld found out by the trick, but they are all military or equivalent, although the pattern is bad.
“This is another nostalgic face, but it doesn’t look like you’re here to talk about the old days.”
“Unfortunately. May I have your time now, Captain?”
“That’s a nostalgic name too… okay”
“Hey, you guys wait a little while.”
Everyone nodded silently, but only Wold comes looking for help. Zeldos thought it was pathetic to leave one of these people behind, but left him alone because there was nothing else he could do. There’s no way I’m letting the store open. And then, urging Lasha, Zeldos goes to the private room in the back.
“So, what can I do for you, Lasha?”
“The current 4th Squad has been wiped out. I was wondering if you could come back to Blackhawk with a call from Valsas.”
To that report, Zeldos sighed, not caring for the whole exterminated squad, but jerking off.
“Dude, I retired 10 years ago, huh? You can’t fight now.”
“Doesn’t look like it to me…”
Hiraki, and Lasha see how Zeldos is feeling. Sure, I’m older than before, but it doesn’t look like I have much body decay. I guess I work out secretly.
Zeldos continues to talk like he likes it, even though he realizes Lasha’s gaze.
“It’s true that the total annihilation of troops is rare, but it doesn’t mean there hasn’t been any for a long time. Mercenaries go through this once or twice. So much noise now?
“Sure. I heard about the difference in strength, but then all current members can fight too much. But…”
“But?
“Valsas said,” I’m anxious. “That madman, isn’t it? We fought so hard to make the battlefield look frozen. What it means.”
“… that could be important indeed.”
To the words, Zeldos thought as he slapped the table with his fingers. Zeldos retired from the mercenary regiment, which was the predecessor of Blackhawk, because Valsas’ strength reached far above his own in the first place. Zeldos thought he had nothing to do and wandered around in search of new heavens and earth. And he’s a tavern owner and so on in this land on edge.
Lasha goes on.
“He’s feeling something. That man has been that way for a long time, something different from us. No matter how confused the battlefield, I could have gone to a safe place if I had followed his instructions, survived. The mercenaries broke up once 20 years ago, but it’s not normal to gather face again then. Besides, we’re all grateful to him.”
“Hmm.”
Zeldos had put his arms together and thought about it for a while, but it seemed slightly more so and put his thoughts together.
“Well, it’s a promise… but I’m not rebelling a promise, but is it going to help about us? When I saw it earlier, the original size of my unit seemed to be down.”
“What you’re demanding from us may not be force. Besides, the number of beasts has certainly decreased compared to 10 years ago because of deaths, illnesses, and disappearances, but we’re also scouting new. Well, whatever we are, Captain Zeldos is sure to be on his right. He’s one of the few who survived a single ride with King Dryan of Gruzaldo.”
I was somewhere proud of Lasha’s mouth for saying that, but it doesn’t seem to matter to Zeldos.
“When are we talking? Now I’m just a liquor store uncle. Besides, there ‘ll be Betts in Blackhawk.”
“I think Betts is just old. No, it’s strong, but it’s no different.”
Lasha laughs bitterly.
“Um, who’s the best squad right now?
It’s Max.
“There’s your sketchy kid!? It’s the end of the world.
“Well, I was just a chick when we knew, but I grew up to be quite a man now.”
“If you say so, it’ll be Osama by now.”
“Well, if it’s really hectic, you just have to smash it”
“So is that. So, aren’t those guys making a scene?
Zeldos cares outside the room. It’s kind of noisy out there.
“Are you okay with that young dog? The liver balls were pretty good though.”
“Don’t pay attention, Wold’s not the only one with liver balls.”
When they finished talking and went back to the store, apparently they all had booze in them. Like the sinister appearance of earlier lies, Wold is getting into the center of the story and talking. Some of them are up to their shoulders.
“What a surprise. I’m gonna make it easier with those bad patterns.”
“Wold’s talent. He can get along with anyone. He said he would never forget the name he heard once. I can’t do this. He’s indispensable in my shop.”
“I knew you’d see Captain Zeldos.”
The two watched this sight for a while, but while it thrived, there was no sign of it fitting in at all, so we cracked it and went in and talked. Uld rebelled violently about Zeldos leaving the store, but felt that Zeldos’ determination was firm, he seemed reluctantly convinced. While Zeldos was just away, I was negotiating fairly seriously about whether I could hire a temporary employee.
And when the conversation was over, Zeldos spoke to the beasts.
“Then we’re all leaving like this. I mean an emergency call, so I’m going to Third Ids as fast as I can.”
The beasts begin to move simultaneously into Zeldos’s voice, but some do not. Apparently, there was someone who wasn’t convinced.
“Wait a minute. Why are you so sure all of a sudden?
All of them, oh? I see the Lord of my voice with a surprising eye that says: Apparently the new bear beast man who came in recently.
“Stop it, Aulu”
“Mr. Lasher, we joined this unit after you dictated to us. I don’t know if an old man sagging in a liquor store like this is your boss, but we don’t have the right to take orders from him.”
That’s what the young people say.
“Chi, the kid…”
“You live well, don’t you, Lasha? Um, was it O’Lou? Then how can you admit me?
Zeldos stepped forward to push Lasha over, and Auru stepped forward to respond to it too. If it’s just your physique, Auroux is bigger than Zeldos about two times.
“Compete with us! If you beat us, I’ll admit it.”
“Can we beat each other up?
“Oh. I’m telling you, I’m pretty strong, huh?
Indeed, Aulu was the size of one or two contenders among the beasts. But Zeldos giggles softly as he puts the child in front of him, his shoulders roaring cockroaches.
“Shall we do it then? Yeah, I’ll give you one piece of advice.”
“What the fuck?”
“But don’t just stroke me to death, okay?
Aulou didn’t know what it was about for a moment, but it didn’t take him that long to realize he was fighting against a hell of a opponent. The moment he confronted Zeldos, Auru’s entire body hair automatically turned upside down. And when I wondered if Zeldos’ body, which stood a little further away, had grown suddenly, it was again far away, and he lost his mind. Aulou didn’t even realize he had been blown away with one slap.
It was Uld who was most shocking in the sight. I thought the manager at my place was proud of his arm, but I didn’t think he would blow up a beast man who looked strong to see more than 2m there with a single round of applause to Mizo. And the speed at which it fills in between in an instant with that giant. Orlu and other beasts who blew the fight seemed to have broken through the door and blown up to the building on the other side, deforming the wall there somewhat and passed out. You won’t be able to eat for 3 days with that.
“What? You flew more than I thought. Now… do you still want to do it, young man?
The people who were part of Aulu are already pale in the face, shaking their heads silently and diligently beside them. Zeldos niggered when he saw it. But is this sight familiar to the familiars, all laughing at Guerraggera? This is how many used to stand in Zeldos, and they were blown away in the same way.
“No, Megna was blown away a long time ago, wasn’t she?
“Don’t say it!
“No, that happened. Sorry, I thought you were a man too and didn’t add or subtract at all”
“Ha, even the captain…”
“” “Gahahahaha!
Everyone is laughing. Apparently a series of Zeldos acts is about baptizing newcomers?
“Somebody take care of Aulu. All right, then, Uld. Don’t ask me about the store! Don’t crush it, all right?
“Oh man…”
“Hmm, what? Do you miss me??
Zeldos strokes Uld’s head, pounding.
“I’ll deduct the cost of repairing the door and the wall of the store across the street from your salary.”
At that moment Zeldos solidified like a stone, turning bright white. The others are laughing even more when they hear that, but the strongest one was actually Lasha, who I think is this kid named Uld.
