Because Janitor-san Is Not a Hero - Chapter 28 Request
What do you mean by the request is invalid? (Kurando)
Today, it is the usual staff member; that person is as arrogant as always.
Kurando-san, you werent clarified about the request that you had previously accepted from the Dorugan () parliament. The unaccepted request did allow from a person of a lower rank to accept the request, but the date goes against the a.s.sociations rule and thus it is invalid. If you compare the request date you will see that it is different from the one written by the a.s.sociation. Kurando-sama, check the date on your copy of the request. (staff member)
The staff member casually say this with his know-it-all tone.
Because, there was a miscommunication as a special exception for a newcomers mishap there will be no penalty. The request failure will not be held against you. Mistakes happen, so dont worry (staff member)
In his own way the staff member is trying to return the favor from before.
Ah, whatever. Enough already. (Kurando)
The staff member was shocked that Kurando had interrupted.
Really? Then, will you be taking another Toramora () weed request? Ill confirm your re (staff member)
no thanks. I just return and youre already teasing me. Ludicrous. (Kurando)
S-sorr, is there anything else? (staff member)
At last, Kurando sees the staff member stumble.
May I verify the proof of hunt? (staff member)
The request was invalid and I wont sell; therefore, there is no need for me to show you. (Kurando)
R-really? (staff member)
Besides, there is something I need to inform you about. (Kurando)
The staff member raised his eyebrows.
Even if I refuse (staff member)
youre mistaken. Quit your nonsense. It involves notifying the country it is a discussion about monster(s). (Kurando)
Right away, the staff member makes a serious expression.
Do you mind telling me the details? (staff member)
The staff member ask this of Kurando in a low voice. In a low voice, Kurando reports his encounter with an ice warrior type monster that happened a few days ago.
understood. Ill contact the branch chief, please wait a while. (staff member)
The staff member hurries to the innermost room of the building.
Hey, your that Ruterera (, 10th star) that had accepted the Gabodorattsue (, 4th star) rank request that was left unaccepted. Know your place, and go take a Toramora weed request. (???)
From behind Kurando, the bald muscular daruma from before is being a bother.
That person found Kurandos face to be familiar, and then they remembered.
Hey, arent you that newcomer from the other day? (muscular daruma)
The bustling oafish voices of the other two hooligan hunters from before can be heard alongside the muscular daruma. (T/N: that guy doesnt have a name, okay)
Toramora weed yeaa? Hey, let me have a look. Ah, its truth, yeaa. (hooligan A)
Reaally, show me. (hooligan B)
Kurando shows a displeased expression.
Keep it to yourselves, and leave me out of this. (Kurando)
Having said so, the three that came to pick a fight laughed in Kurandos face.
It was a vulgar laugh.
Gahaha, make fun of you, what an idiot. Well, excuse me your lords.h.i.+p. (muscular daruma)
Maybe if you pay us. How does 1000 Rodo sound? And, then afterwards return back here with spices from the royal capital. (hooligan A)
I-impossible, this country b.u.mpkin doesnt know what spices are now would he?Gahaha. (hooligan B)
So spices can be found at the royal capital; Kurando is happy to learn this information. He lost interest in a.s.sociating with these vulgar people.
Hey, are you listening! (hooligan A)
The hooligan hunter A pushes Kurandos shoulder.
Kurando-san, please make your way to the back room. (staff member)
The voice belongs to the staff member. Kurando takes advantage of this opportunity and quickly tries to makes his way to the back room.
Wait up. (hooligan B)
The hooligan hunter B grabs hold of Kurandos shoulder.
Kurando takes hold of the arm that had slowly gripped his shoulder.
Ah, whatcha doing! (muscular daruma)
The bald muscular daruma and the hooligan hunter A take a fighting stance.
ahhhhhhhhhhh, release me. (hooligan B)
Although Kurando doesnt appear to be doing anything, hooligan B is shouting out loud.
The staff member is calling for me; so, is it alright for me to leave? (Kurando)
In this unusual situation their comrade seems to be in pain. The two companion dont say anything. Nothing is said.
Kurando lets go of the arm. He walks to the back room.
He doesnt fear the hooligans in the less.
T-that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he used some sort of claw on me. (hooligan B)
But, magic wasnt used. (hooligan A)
Youre exaggerating, let me see you arm. (muscular daruma)
The bald muscular daruma take hold of the rude hooligans arm.
hey, were you bitten by a wolf? (muscular daruma)
On the arm, the skin is broken and there are five finger marks.
Kurandos fingers had undergone special training. After testing it out on a person, he is satisfied with the results.
He had learn the fundamentals of fighting from Yukis.h.i.+ro-sensei, and from a martial arts book in j.a.pan.
Combat techniques cannot be practiced without a sparring partner. Although striking and self-defense techniques can be practiced alone using ones imagination, it is better if there is a sparring partner to practice with. Kurando did found sports technique to be unpolished.
Kurando trained himself in the old style martial arts. He focused on one-hit-kill. It cant be helped if his form is incorrect as he had no master to instruct him.
His concept was based on his reflexes, his physical strength, and his experience around grappling with Yukis.h.i.+ro. (T/N: crouching tiger, hidden Yukis.h.i.+ro, cough)
The technique that he used was based on that one time when Yukis.h.i.+ro had stopped his low kick by biting onto his leg. In a way Kurando learned from his mistake.
The arrogant staff member knocks on the door.
Kurando and the staff member finds themselves before a big desk.
There is an elderly man outfitted with well tailored clothes sitting at the desk; the person has their arms crossed.
Hmm, it seems youve been involved in all sorts of trouble. And now, a monster has appeared. While you were recommended by the officer white spear, dont make light of being expelled. (chief)
Without an introducing the branch chief looks Kurando over.
I rather you not look down on me. (Kurando)
The person is looking at Kurando with an unpleasant gaze.
From the gaze that the person gave him, Kurando got the impression that this a.s.sociation isnt as honest as he thought. It became something he didnt want to concern himself with.
Well, Im the chief of this branch, KofuSerugeriiMaizeeru () (Kofu)
Greeting, Im Kurando. (Kurando)
Im aware that you have various complains. (Kofu)
And so begins Kurandos tedious report and pointless chatter.
In short.
He talks about how the a.s.sociations rules arerestrictive.
He talks about how hunter rank is inaccurate.
He talks about the troubles that happened during his registration, and the incident with Zauru ().
He talked about the threats he received upon taking the unaccepted request.
He talked about the lack of guidance that he received upon taking the request.
Kurando refers to the last request he took to be false advertising. Although the branch chief might not believe the words of a newcomer who only is known as someone that was recommended by Makus.h.i.+mu ().
To an outside party, Kurando is merely someone who was picked up by a famous person. Normally he would be labeled as a refugee, but Kurando doesnt seem to be seen as such.
To the branch chief, who has influence in his home turf and connects with the parliament, Kurandos words seem to be suspicious.
Hmm, okay, Ive more or less heard your report. (Kofu)
Kurando had explained his circ.u.mstances. When he thought about it his past experiences seem far away.
Hmm, youre telling me, a Ruterera (10th) single handedly defeated an ice spirit warrior. And, that s.h.i.+eld is the proof? (Kofu)
Kurando cannot afford to mention either Yukis.h.i.+ro or Akari, and he didnt feel guilty about it.
There will be consequences if word got out about Yukis.h.i.+ro and Akari. From his standpoint they cant be mentioned.
The branch chief stare at small s.h.i.+eld with an exhausted expression.
Your story sounds suspicious. If you are going to lie, at least make it believable. How about this; if you leave now Ill raise your rank, and give you temporary preferential treatment. (Kofu)
Kurando couldnt deceive the chief, but the results are still in his favor.
Now, be on your way. Good luck on raising your rank oh, you dont have a leader a.s.sign to you yet. Well, that is the fault of the people who had abused the honor of the hero. As of late, the number of hunters have diminished. If there is no leader will you still accept requests? (Kofu)
Kurando doesnt want to concern himself with hunters as he thought this he makes his way out of the room.
clunk, clunk
What are you waiting for, be on you way. (Kofu)
The door opens with aclank.
A giant woman pa.s.ses through the doorway.
4th star, Gabodorattsue, IraidaBaagin (), present. (Iraida)
Brown skin. A s.e.xy muscular physique. Frizzy red hair that resembles a lions mane. Large breast and ripped abs. A solid and plump lower body. She is wearing a revealing black leather outfit that exposes her cleavage and b.u.t.tocks.
She doesnt appear old as her greek like features makes her age indistinguishable.
In other words, a female version of Makus.h.i.+mu.
Hey, Im begging you, the number of hunter will decrease. (Iraida)
Iraida smiles. The branch chief raises his hand, and Kurando is driven out of the room.
Ah, branch chief. (Iraida)
W-what is it? (chief)
That newcomer, I will look after him. (Iraida)
She is claiming the leaders.h.i.+p role for Kurando.
Arent you close to becoming a Serurobi (, 3rd star), you dont have time to be fooling around. A hunter such as yourself with ability on par with a hero, your time is a valuable thing to waste. (chief)
Youll entrust the newcomer to me right. Yep, yep, it is decide then. (Iraida)
She claps her hands together, and then leaves the room at her own convenience.
Hey, lets go. (Iraida)
After saying so, she follows after Kurando.
The branch chief has an annoyed expression.
Serves him right, Kurando thought.
Kurando leaves the chiefs room feeling refreshed.
Iraida takes a sit at the bars counter near the building entrance. She introduces herself.
I am IraidaBaagin, a Gabodorattsue (4th star). As you can see, Im from the giant race. It is alright for you to simply call me Iraida. (Iraida)
Im Kurando, a temporary Ruterera (10th star). Call me whatever you want. (Kurando)
The bartender pa.s.ses Iraida a wooden cup of alcohol; she gulps it down.
Because of Iraidas stature the cup looks unusually small.
She demands more alcohol; the bartender pours more into her cup.
The cup is quietly pa.s.sed to Kurando.
Kurando appears distressed.
He touches the wooden cup. As he thought, it is a normal size cup.
Kurando glimpsed at Iraida, and then he also gulps it down.
He can feel the alcohol stinging his throat.
The alcohol is slightly similar to vodka.
Please, dont ever forcibly pa.s.s me alcohol again. I dont drink alcohol. (Kurando)
Iraida smiles. Her smile is as ferocious as a wild animal.
What does it matter, its good alcohol? (Iraida)
Kurando doesnt understand the charm of the taste of alcohol.
The meaning behind Iraidas smiles intensifies.
Well, as long as it is in moderation. (Kurando)
As long as it isnt strong alcohol.
It doesnt matter if it is strong or weak.
Its the same no matter if it is cheap or expensive alcohol.
Does it taste good or bad?
