Chapter 2 - 17 In Middle of Settlement (Part 2) in Commercial City, Einzhale

A truce was temporarily brought to a standstill by sudden intruder.
The man who is the cause of this is slowly approaching us with a pressure that is different from ours.

[Hey, hey, hey. Reinrich. Are you going to use that in a fight like this? What the hell did these guys do?] (Unknown man)

The tone of that man was slow, his voice was low, and he was not free of emotion, but it was hard to grasp his feelings.
My pace is not a light word, but he looks like being in his own pace.

[Yes. Just look at it and you'll see. The entrance to my precious guild has become a misery to behold!] (Reinrich)
[It would be just a matter of fixing it. It's okay, I'm sure it was already very old to begin with. These men seem to have confidence in their physical strength. We can use them to fix it.] (Unknown Man)
[Yeah! That's right. I could just let that get done that way. But you know what? He said he was going to rape and kill these kids. It's my guild. What are you going to do about it?] (Reinrich)
[It's just a word. He didn't actually do it. Well, it was a bit of a threat, wasn't it?] (Unknown man)
[Okay. So, you threatened me. This, me.] (Reinrich)

A bad vibe drifted from Reinrich.
It's like having goose bumps on my arms and back.

[Ah....Ah, are you mad at me?] (Unknown man)
[I think you can see it. What do you think I look like to you now, Darwin?] (Reinrich)
[I see. Or rather, how did it happen? I'm only here because you asked me to.] (Darwin)
[Why don't you ask your stupid son?] (Reinrich)
[Hmm? My son is here? Which idiot son?] (Darwin)

What's wrong with this man?
I don't know. He's too slow, too perceptive, and I don't know what he's saying or thinking or why he's doing it.
This is bad. It is very, very unpleasant feeling coming from him.
The only thing I understand is that it's out of the ordinary.
This guy is just like Yashisu and Reinrich.
I don't want to make an enemy of him. Honestly, I'm scared.

[Oh. Dardaril. What are you doing here?] (Darwin)
[F-Father ...] (Dardaril)
[Didn't you use to call me "Papa"? No, was it "Dad"? I have a feeling it was "father".] (Darwin)

That man approaching Dardaril stealthily, slowly.

[No, it's not! It's them! They set me up by cheating against me so I would lose!] (Dardaril)
[Hmm? No, I'm talking about what's going on first. I can't do anything if you're saying that out of the blue.] (Darwin)

Even Darwin's posture as he walks slowly while tilting his head appears to emit a dull black aura.
Shiro, please. Don't let go of that gripping hand.

[You know, we're competing for that girl over there, so...] (Dardaril)
[Ho. For you to compete. That's nice. Did you win?] (Darwin)
[It's not true! And then, at the last minute, a cowardly move is made! I'm being set up!] (Dardaril)
[Hmmm. I understand where you're coming from.] (Darwin)
[Father, then] (Dardaril)
[Sigh. Reinrich and Yashisu will be next. What's your side of the story?] (Darwin)
[The contest was about whether Dardaril-sama or this customer would buy Wendy-sama.] (Yashisu)
[Ah. You said. You want money because you want to get a girl. I remember I told you if you want something, you gonna have to earn it.] (Darwin)
[Yes. So, 120 million Nord for Dardaril-sama. I've been trying to get this customer to raise 80 million Nord and buy Wendy from me.] (Yashisu)

Yashisu, how can you speak normally?
Maybe I'm slowly getting used to it, but I don't think I can do it yet.

[Hmm? Why the difference in price?] (Darwin)
[It is because it seemed that Dardaril-sama already had 50 million Nord, and this customer had around 3.5 million Nord. It's all about equality in the end. If anything, I'm afraid I've given Dardaril-sama the advantage.] (Yashisu)
[Mmmm. I'm not convinced, but if he's convinced, then this contest is fair.] (Darwin)
[Of course. I swear to you, in the name of Yashisu Slave Trading House, I swear to you that there has been no wrongdoing.] (Yashisu)
[I see. What about Reinrich?] (Darwin)
[I don't mind talking about it, but why are you being act like a big shot?] (Reinrich)

Reinrich-sama!
Why would you do such a provocation?

[Ah. I'm sorry. I felt like being into detective. Tell me a story about Reinrich. Is this good?] (Darwin)

Darwin seems to have provoked back, but more than anything else, the honorific way of his saying is very disgusting.

[Hmm. Here's the list and the product I bought from my child. If you want to know about checking, I already shown to Yashisu and Dardaril.] (Reinrich)
[Hmmm......... Heh. Isn't it cheating in a sense that you're not making a profit?] (Darwin)
[Paid in kind. This was made by my disciple. It's good, isn't it?　He's just starting out, but he's a brilliant kid.] (Reinrich)
[A disciple? Did you take a disciple?... It takes a long time for you to get disciple.] (Darwin)

Darwin turns his body around and looks at me.
We exchanged glances, and for the first time I looked into the eyes of a man named Darwin.
Dark, deep eyes that don't seem to know what he's thinking.
I kept my eyes from those eyes.

[Oh. You're a drifter. Nice, you.] (Darwin)
[......] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

Darwin walks slowly toward me.
I'm scared. I wouldn't want to go near him if I could. I don't want you to come.
But I can't move. My gaze couldn't escape Darwin's eyes, and I couldn't move my feet.
At that moment, Shiro stepped in front of me and held a knife out to Darwin.

[...... Don’t come] (Shiro)
[...that's impressive loyalty. You're a good slave. So, you're a nice girl, too. How about it? Why don't you leave this guy and come work for me?] (Darwin)
[No] (Shiro)
[I refuse] (Wendy)
[No, of course not] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

Don’t mess with me!
What the hell are you saying to Wendy and Shiro?
I don't care whether he is scary or not scary!

[Hey, hey, hey. Your eyes are clouded. It's supposed to be a joke.] (Darwin)
[Never say that again] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[There you go. Don't look so scared. You're good, aren't you? You were freaking out just now. Reinrich, you're found a good one.] (Darwin)
[Of course. He's my disciple. Keep your hands off him. - Okay.] (Reinrich)
[Oh scary. It's a shame] (Darwin)

With that said, Darwin turned back to Dardaril.

[Well, to sum it up, you've been completely and utterly defeated, and you're throwing tantrums and ranting and raving.] (Darwin)
[F-Father?　You believe in those people!　Even more so than your son, me!] (Dardaril)
[Even if you say so. And with all the evidence, what's your excuse now?] (Darwin)
[Father, you don't believe a word I say, your son!] (Dardaril)
[It's not like we're related by blood, either.... Well, what the hell. I left you alone because you're funny, but you're still making trouble for me...] (Darwin)
[No way......... So, let's kill them together! If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have lost!　Let's just eliminate the contest itself. That way, I won't have to trouble you, father!] (Dardaril)

This is reckless.........
How far rotten is this guy to the core? The moment I thought, a bad feeling that far surpassed the chill I had just had, enveloped this place in an instant.

[ah Ah?!] (Darwin)

The source of it is naturally from Darwin.
He grabbed the chest with one hand and lifted the small Dardaril up.

[F-F-F-Fatherrrr! Whyyyy!] (Dardaril)
[You've lost. Disgracefully. If you're willing to win, make sure you win. But don't do anything that would spoil the contest. If you're going to do this, risk your life until the last minute. I always told you, if you lose, you have to back off! Hey. I telling you that every day! Meira!] (Darwin)
[Yes. Adopt-a-father. You say so every day that this octopus could fall on his ears.] (Meira)

The girl who appeared at Darwin's side in no time answered.
Seriously, when did she come? I didn't notice it at all.
And it's a woman. She still looks like a teenager, but the atmosphere is that of an adult.
Adopt-a-father means he's adopted more than one, and she is related to him as adopted daughter.

[Right! Well, then... So, what have he done?] (Darwin)
[He has defiled a sacred contest, and he barked miserably and vainly, not admitting defeat. On top of that, he has meddled with Yashisu and the alchemists' guild, which he has violated our law.] (Meira)
[Oh yes. I told you not to mess with it because it would be too much trouble! Right?!] (Darwin)
[Yes. Especially from thing he has done to these people are a all harm and no benefit to us. It appears he did not make more disaster get involved into this.] (Meira)

It’s terrible.
Reinrich get treated like natural disaster.
And also, Yashisu who get thought at the same level as her.
I'm afraid I can't see what's underneath you.........

[I know! Two. Two! You've broken not just one, you've broken two! You know, Dardaril. You've violated two inviolable laws!] (Darwin)
[Adopt-a-father-sama, three, to be exact, since we have to divide it between Yashisu-sama and Reinrich-sama.] (Meira)
[Shut the fuck up! It' s the same! One, two, three, they're all the same! You know you're done if you break any of our rules!] (Darwin)

It’s scary.
He took it out on him at the end.
I'm glad I'm not the one who get his hand pointed.
When Darwin let go, Dardaril was on his knees and one arm, holding his throat and coughing bitterly as he did so.

[Hey, you guys. Take him and put him in my dungeon. Make him bite a cloth into his mouth so he doesn't commit suicide. If he runs away or dies, I'll kill you all. Go if you understand. It's an eyesore.] (Darwin)
[F-Father! No way, geho! Gho! Hey, don't touch me!] (Dardaril)
[Shut up. Get him tied up and take him away.] (Darwin)

There is no hesitation.
Or rather, will we be able to settle down if he sends him home without permission?
Oh, Reinrich-sama, you're still a little angry. It's not settled yet.
Come to think of it, I forgot one thing, too.

[Wait a moment.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[What you need? Brat] (Darwin)
[Shiro. That’s him] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Imm] (Shiro)

She goes over to that guy in hurry and throws a fist into that guy's stomach again. (TLN: Probably it is to thug she beat up other day. Not Dardaril)

The man let out a moaning voice and collapsed, writhing and struggling, holding his stomach.
This guy had a vulgar look on his face when he tried to make a move on Shiro.
I didn't feel comfortable unless he taken a blow.
Well, it's not like I'm going to do it.

[Hyu. What a terrifying little girl.] (Darwin)
[Don't be ridiculous. She's the cutest and the most dependable girl.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

Shiro put her hands on her waist and leaned back her chest.
Don't tell me you're afraid of Shiro, for you who are representative of terrifying people.
