S Ranked Burden Tamer (14)

Chapter 14 Statements

[Rei died because of you. That’s just how it is.]

[Don’t fuck with me! How does that even make sens—]

It was Rei who stopped Loig from talking any further.

『Kyuaaaaaaaaaaaaaa』

[Huh!? Wh…what are you… doing!? Shit! Ohh!?]

Rei’s roar ran through Loig’s body, causing him to shudder. Rei was an existence that could overwhelm five minotaurs. The serious roar echoed throughout the room. The guild was thrown into a small uproar.

[Heee…]

[Wait a sec… isn’t that the dog that is always with Randall… was it always so strong!?]

[I know! It blended in with the group so I had only ever seen Randall! They’re with an S-ranked party!?]

[If that’s true… is that why Loig isn’t moving?!]

It was seemingly possible to feel something from the roar alone. And now, everyone’s attention moved from Rei to Loig. 

[Loig can’t even move his arms or legs from just that roar?]

[I was a little surprised, but well, with that as his opponent…]

[Rather he’s in quite the mess.]

[Oi oi, he can hear you.]

[Hahaha]

Naturally, Loig could hear what they were saying. His face had become flushed deep red, but still Rei glared at him and didn’t budge.

『………..』

[Guh……..]

Rei used his silent pressure to control Loig’s threatening with next to no effort. Rei held enough power within himself while in his spirit form that you could say he was already a special case. Loig was receiving that pressure head on. Well if you considered his situation, you could understand why he had lost the ability to say anything or even move his body.

[Nevertheless Randall… there’s some truth to Loig’s statement just now.]

[Huh?]

Feydeau recklessly called out like he was becoming desperate.

[Even, if he had stayed silent about the matter, I can make an appeal to the guild.]

[Make an appeal…?]

[That’s right. You exposed the party to danger by not communicating properly. Naturally…]

[Feydeau… do you understand what you’re saying to me?]

[What…huh…]

I was astonished. [You exposed the party to danger by not communicating properly.] That statement as it is should have weighed on Feydeau seeing as he was the leader.

[I see… once I heard Randall-san’s story, I decided to disregard your previous story.]

[Wait! What about our side of the story?!]

[I think you all talked enough before Randall-san came. You said that Randall-san wished to sacrifice himself. You all tried to stop him, but he didn’t listen. You let Randall-san regularly take the initiative to handle a variety of tasks. He was giving up more than any of you. You wanted to tell the entire guild that Randall died in this way. That’s all, right?]

[Wai—]

[If…]

Nina kept talking to keep control of the situation and keep Feydeau in check.

[If these statements were to now be treated as untrue, the guild would need to list you as adventures who make false reports.]

[Wha…]

That may effectively be a death sentence. Giving false reports to the guild is a felony. You wouldn’t be able to do activities with the guild, and you’d lose the S-rank status that you had established all in an instant. In fact, it may even turn out that the guild puts you on a wanted list and hangs up a poster of you with a bounty.

[If we look at your guys’ claim, Randall-san’s claim, and the current situation, we should be able to make a comprehensive judgement. If you have any objections, I can listen to them from here on.]

With that, Feydeau hung his head and didn’t look at us anymore.

[Well then, let’s go.]

When there was finally no one who would stop us, Nina-san entered the reception room from behind the guild’s counter.

Translator’s Note:

5-14-2020

Hi again. Its been awhile hasn’t it? Sorry about the unprompted break, I had quite the large load of papers and projects due in a stretch of about 4 or 5 days since I’m nearing the end of my semester. I didn’t intend to take such a large break from translating, I kinda just underestimated how much I truly had to do. But, I’m back now and it was fun to take a break from school and do some translating. Luckily, I’ve gotten past the busiest part of my schedule so I should be back to posting every 2-4 days. Hopefully, I may even get to the shorter end of that range consistently once school ends. Anyway I hope you all enjoy!

Thanks and stay well,

tom
