CHAPTER 161: SUBS

Sponsored Content

T/N: The title is サブス or Sabusu so I used Subs because it sounds closer than Sabs if you have a western pronunciation.

 

 

　The murmuring around us stopped, and everyone’s eyes were focused on us.

 

 

“You are the one who has the audacity to try to enter the Golden Dragon’s claws, even though you are an F-ranked person!?” (Dwarf)

 

“Eh? …Ah, is there something wrong?”

 

 

　I was a bit taken aback by the sudden words and gave a half-hearted response.

 

　But I’m trying to get into the Golden Dragon’s Claws, or rather, I should already be in it.
Well, I wasn’t even trying to enter in the first place…

“Wrong? The Golden Dragon’s Claw is a place for top warriors, not a place for F-ranks!　Do you understand?” (Dwarf)

 

 

　Saying only what he wanted to say, the young dwarf staggered out of the dining room.

 

　What is this? I don’t understand.

 

　Thinking this, I looked at Cyrus-san for an answer, and he told me with a light shrug of his shoulders.

 

 

“He’s Subs.
He’s the son of the Clan Master.” (Cyrus)

　Clan Master’s son! In other words, he’s Kevin-san’s son and Borok-san’s grandson.

 

　That means he must have some kind of power, authority, connections, or something.

 

　I’m starting to see the situation somewhat and I’m starting to get nervous.
I have a feeling it will be very troublesome.

 

 

“Rook’s F-rank, right? We are a well-known clan there, and it’s not uncommon for us to let in F-rank adventurers every now and then.
Some of them seem to be proud to belong to this clan.
I mean, there are some who don’t think well of us.” (Cyrus)

 

“I hate Subs.” (Seam)

 

 

　Cyrus-san glanced sideways at the other table and gave a quick thumbs up.

　I followed the finger and ran my gaze over it, and there were a few unfriendly eyes.

 

　I see… Well, there are certainly people who would agree with Subs.
Especially if it’s about honor and power.
If an unproven adventurer with an F-rank joins a well-known clan, you can’t blame them for thinking he or she came in from the backdoor using power, connections, or whatever.

 

　When I think about it, I joined the clan with a letter from Borok-san, so I must have joined through power and connections… This is so out of line that I can’t help but think, “I’m being treated unfairly! I can’t even get mad at them…”

 

 

“Well, there are guys who look young and have low adventurer ranks, but they may be awesome.
Besides–” (Cyrus)

 

 

　He pauses, takes a breath, and continues.

 

 

“Well, You should just prove yourself.
Then everyone will shut up.” (Cyrus)

　Sure, I guess that’s what I’ll have to do.

 

　This situation is a bit unnerving.
It’s uncomfortable to have negative feelings directed at me so blatantly, and I want to remedy that as soon as possible.

 

　I mean, what does it mean that many clan members already know that I am F-rank? I want them to protect my personal information even if there is no privacy and personal information protection law.

 

　It occurred to me, that Cyrus-san talks to me normally like this, so I began wondering what he thought of me and so I asked, “What do you think of me Cyrus-san?”

 

 

“Me? Well… I believe in the Clan Master.
And I’m interested in the new guy who got in here even as an F-rank.
That sort of thing.” (Cyrus)

 

 

 

　With that, Cyrus-san downed his wooden mug.
