Chapter 550 What the Hecckkkk!!!
What is that weird noise!? Moira-san screamed at Elland-san.
That weird Elf was currently rubbing his cheek against the corpse of a Leviathan, so I totally understand her feelings
Moira-san must be having a hard time controlling Elland-san too. [1] She was doing her best to pry him away from the Leviathan with an enraged expression.
Even members of my party ended up going along with Elland-sans flow whenever he turned up. Well, I supposed it is partly my fault for not allowing my party to squish him like a bug as Dora-chan likes to say, but no matter how annoying he is, Elland-san is still a Guild Master, you know? Who knows what kind of backlash could happen if we accidentally killed him off?
Grandpa Gon and Dora-chan took one look at Elland-san and blanched.
To his credit, Grandpa Gon calmly said, Well, the barrier is up. I shall patrol the skies now for security reasons, and flew off.
Be right with you! said Dora-chan and soared upwards with the other dragon.
well, thats probably the best thing for everyone here.
Umu
, I shall put up my own barrier too, said Fer.
I was shocked that no pithy remark came from that Legendary Beast, but decided not to say anything. Especially since Bram-san was walking over to us.
Haahh it was a shame that hes well, ahem, he will be taking command of the Leviathan dismantling
The elders behind him coughed and muttered among themselves. I could hear snippets of:
well, at least hes good in his field
if we only look at his work
difficult to understand unless you meet him
Well, I totally understand what you guys are saying. Its hard to not be disappointed when the fellow you see as an expert in his field turned out to be a freak who sticks himself to a monster corpse with such an ecstatic expression.
Hey, Elland, could you please stop that? said Bram-san sternly.
Oh, its Bram! Look, look! Its a Leviathan! A Leviathan!!
Haahh yes, I see it. I thought I had no choice but to call you over, but now Im wondering if this is a mistake
I nodded fervently beside Bram-san. Yes, yes, this is totally a mistake. A mistake, I say!
Hah?! What are you talking about? Theres no one more qualified than me when it comes to Leviathans! I am
the
expert in the field! There is no one better than me!!!
Woah
If you say so, then hurry up and get to work! Bram-san barked. The rest of the elders also urged him on, yelling Thats right, thats right like a bunch of bullies.
Ill do a good job even without you hara.s.sing me! However, it is imperative that one should properly appreciate the existence of such a creature before-
Wham!
Ouch!
Ive had enough of your nonsense. What are you bragging about now? Go and work! Moira-san snarled.
Oh, gosh~ why is everyone in such a terrible rush~? Cant you guys give me a little time to savour this moment? Arent you happy about getting to meet Mister Leviathan~?
Eww
Ah, Moira-sama appeared to have grown horns as her background caught fire and she loomed menacingly over Elland. [1] I edged away from them, skittering away to hide behind Fer.
Fortunately for everyone, Elland-san suddenly found his sense of professionalism and began to inspect the Leviathan with a serious expression.
I-indeed, such an important job. How could I neglect it
The inspection alone took quite a while. Well, the creature is pretty huge after all. Luckily the barrier also provided some preservative function.
As Elland-san inspected the Leviathan, Fer and Sui shadowed him along with a bunch of other people. In fact, it looked almost like a tour with whole groups of people following after Tour Guide Elland around the Leviathan. At one point, I asked Fer Hey, dont we need to keep an eye out for dangerous people?
The most dangerous one is there, said Fer.
well, I cant really fault him for thinking that.
We cannot leave this maniac alone, who knows what he might steal from us.
I wanted to protest, but it was kind of difficult to speak up for the dragon maniac. Especially since in addition to us, there was Moira-san, the supervisor, the Guild Master and the four elders all walking after Elland-san.
It just shows how little everyone trusts him.
Partway through the tour, the king and queen arrived. With them were a whole throng of aristocrats and n.o.blemen. After we greeted them, the king said, As you were, and the inspection continued.
Finally, Elland-san stopped the tour. There was a rather odd expression on the Elfs face.
What is it, Elland? asked Bram.
Bram, I think its not possible for us to dismantle the Leviathan for now
Wait, what!? I shouted along with other people.
Behind us, the elders were also screaming:
You said you definitely could!
You were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence!!
Dont tell me its a ruse just to see the Leviathan!! Moira-sans voice was the loudest of them all.
Oi! What are you saying now? Are you telling me it cant be done? Fers thunderous voice roared across the field.
I sighed to myself. It would not surprise me if this stupid Elf had recklessly said he could do something just for the sake of getting a glimpse of the Leviathan (and Grandpa Gon, and Dora-chan).
H-hold it, let me explain properly!
Perhaps sensing the hostile air around him, Elland-san immediately tried to placate the crowd of angry people. [1] He looked a lot like the president of a company who was caught committing some sort of fraud or scandal and was now trying to explain things to the public.
[1] Haahhh why is this fellow so unreliable?
Sui bounced from Fers head into my arms.
Levi meat~? No Levi meat~?
Oh, well, Im not sure. Well have to see first, I said, wondering just what kind of explanation would come out of Elland-sans mouth. Humph, he had better not disappoint my precious Sui-tan!
