Chapter 124.2 \n<h1>Chapter 124 A Certain Vacation â¤</h1>\n\nThe one who called us out was a tall, mature man with a sharp look in his eyes. Maybe he had been out shopping, he was carrying a paper bag in both hands.His clothes were made of cloth, but his appearance and muscles all over his body showed that he was a warrior ââ Moreover I understand that he is a High-Class one. His skin was tanned and his long gray hair was tied in a bun. Considering his age, he was probably a much more experienced Hunter than Ruda.
He isnât as intimidating as Absolute Shadow, but he isnât an ordinary person.
ââŚâŚâŚâŚ Who the hell are you?
Gilbert replied bluntly. There wasnât any malice in it. Ruda, who had known him for a certain amount of time, understands it. Gilbert ââ Just doesnât know any other attitude except this one.However, it doesnât necessarily mean that they will get it.
For a moment, Ruda nervously tensed up, but the man didnât seem to care about that. He just looked at Ruda and the others as if he was inspecting them and his mouth relaxed into a smile.
âIâm sorry if I was abrupt. I just overheard your voiceâŚâŚ We, too, had business ââ With ăInfinite Varietyă.
ââŚâŚâŚâŚ For now, can you tell us your name? You are in the same line of work, right? I am ââ Ruda Rumbeck. And you are?â
It is still too early to be relieved, but it wasnât as if we couldnât communicate with each other.
âKukuku, right. These days, I havenât had a lot of opportunities where Iâm asked my name, sorry about that. As you had guessed, I work in the same line of industry. I am Hay Laria. Led by Arnold-san, I am the vice-Leader of ăLightning Dragonâs Mist (Fallen Mist)ă, Hay Laria.â\n
The man replied with an intrepid smile to Ruda, who was wary when introducing herself.Â
§
It was just a coincidence that Hay Laria heard those words.
Fighting against the Lightning Spirits in the town of Elan. Then a fierce battle with numerous monsters, including Orcs, had put ăLightning Dragonâs Mist (Fallen Mist)ă in a bad state.The carriage they bought is damaged, they used up most of their consumables including potions and the members of their group are still physically and mentally exhausted. Their weapons were either worn down or destroyed due to the fight, so it needed to be maintained or replaced.The town of Elan and the town of Gula had given them rewards, so they werenât that much in financial trouble, but there were several things in this world that canât be solved with money alone.
As the Vice-Leader, Hay was going around the town to replenish their supplies and gathering information that could lead to ăInfinite Varietyâsă destination in order to help the situation as much as possible.It was at that time that he heard the name of ăInfinite Varietyă.
The group he was talking to was a group of six young Hunters. They were probably Mid-Level in terms of ability. Since they werenât wearing the symbol of ăFootprint of the Beginningă, they werenât a Member of that Clan.
He hesitated a little, but decided to call them out.
Something was needed in order to change the situation. And whether that Party in front of him, who had said the name Infinite Variety, was an enemy (Although, from what Hay could see, that was very unlikely) or an ally.
Right now, the situation of his Party was close to the worst situation.Their supplies were exhausted and they were physically and mentally exhausted due to several fierce battles.\nLogically speaking, it wouldnât be very wise to start a fight with a High-Level Party in such a situation.Â
However at the same time, Hay can understand his Leaderâs thought which canât let them back off as Hunters.
Â
Arnold was now starting to lose his cool due to repeated provocations during the travel. However, he is by no means misjudging what was the most important thing.
Hay and Arnold have known each other for a long time. They have known each other since the very beginning, since before Arnold became a Hunter and formed his own Party.Up until now, they have always worked in tandem, with Arnold making the calls and Hay supporting him.
The man who is called Arnold Hale is an extremely talented Hunter. Blessed with talent, bravery and courage, he has a slight impulsive side, but he has the capacity to listen to the words of his friends. He probably understands more than anyone else that the current situation isnât good for the ăLightning Dragonâs Mistă.
But at the same time, the situation wasnât at a point where it was easy to back off.
He had been threatened, made to fight against Monsters, and had even been provoked for doing it. If they retreat like this, seen from the outside, ăLightning Dragonâs Mistâsă reputation will not only be hurt, but a bad aftertaste will also linger inside the Party.It was Arnoldâs charisma that made ăLightning Dragonâs Mistă a powerful Party. ăHeavy Thunder Strikeă had to be the strongest man. He had to be brave and courageous.The fact that he ran away without fighting would surely create distrust within the Party and would one day create a big crack.
\nArnold might not agree with it but this isnât the time to choose the means.
At Hayâs suggestion, Ruda and Gilbert looked at each other.
