Chapter 275 Fate-sans Bad Habit Came Out (1/2)

It was my third day in the Hydra Kingdom. The sun still hasn’t risen yet as I walk through the city, heading towards a certain place.

It’s not like I’m particularly obligated to go there or anything, and I wasn’t really sure before if I could go there today, but since the grandpa asked to talk to him sometime, I had come to where I met him yesterday.

W- Well, even though I felt like this was pushed on me, I agreed to it myself. I don’t think I’ll be coming to Hydra Kingdom that often, so I thought that I should visit as much as possible while I’m here.

[Unnn? Ohh, if it isn’t the youngster yesterday!?]

[Ahh, good morning.]

[Ohh, good morning. What’s the matter? Have you come to listen to me again today?]

[Y- Yes, well……]

[Ohh, is that so!? Have you heard? There was apparently some incident yesterday.]

He’s talking like a machine gun like usual…… He would switch the topic of conversation without even waiting for my response.

Or rather, that incident he was talking about was yesterday’s attack, right? I was in that incident, you know?

[Attacking the Hero-sama, that’s one foolish act of theirs.]

[I- I guess so.]

[Umu! Good grief, what troubling people…… Because of that, even I…… Erhem, the senators of this country are in a bind right now.]

[Eh? Is that so?]

It seems that this grandpa is quite knowledgeable, or rather, well-informed, and seems to have a good grasp on the incident yesterday.

[The fact that they were attacked in this city is really bad~~ I suppose we’ll have to overhaul our security system, and also, since the country had apparently got the attacker in custody, that means that the country will punish him but…… I don’t think this will be settled with just a half-hearted punishment.]

[……………….]

[Rumor has it that the God of Fate-sama is in a bad mood…… Because of that, I heard that the King is holding her head in her hands.]

[I- Is that so……]

……Fate-san. I guess I’ll give her a follow up the next time I meet her.

I don’t know if this grandpa knows what I was thinking or not, but he let out a big sigh…… Hmmm. Could it be that this grandpa is one of the senators?

Then, it makes sense as to why he’s well-informed.

[There’s also the problem with our country’s reputation…… Really, how troubling it is.]

[I- It’s quite a bind, isn’t it?]

[That’s right…… Even if they properly deal with this, the king of those other noisy countries will still make some complaint……]

[Unnn?]

[Ahh, no, it’s nothing. I was just thinking that the King and the senators must have a hard time because of the importance of our national honor.]

[H- Huhh……]

The way he’s saying it is like he’s only a bit involved with it but…… As I thought I think this grandpa is a senator.

However, I think he wants to keep it under wraps. If that’s the case, it isn’t a good idea to ask him about it, so let’s just pretend I didn’t notice.

[Is that so, Her Majesty, the King and the Senators must have a hard time taking care of the country huh?]

[Ohh! You understand huh!? Even a youngster could see it huh…… It’s really troubling…… Erhem. N- No, I also think that they’re having a hard time.]

[………………….]

Could you hide it a little better please…… It’s really hard trying not to make a reaction here……

[I- In the first place, it would be an inexcusable act to attack Hero-sama…… Good gracious, if I had been there, I would have “smashed” that attacker……]

Did he just say “smashed”!? No, I understand what that word means, but I don’t want to imagine it. I wonder if this grandpa is quite the fighter? I can’t really judge the strength of people in this world based on appearances, so even if he looks like an old man, he may be very strong.

While I was thinking about this, the grandpa stood up and spun his fishing rod around to reel in the line.

[That would be it then, young man. I’ve got some business to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.]

[Ah, yes. I’m sorry to bother you.]

[No, no, I also had lots of fun…… However, you dutifully came here after what I said yesterday, it seems that you’re a good man.]

[H- Huhh……]

[You’re rather thin, but your face is good. I don’t think women would want to let you go, hahaha!]
