Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

For a moment, people just felt that the girl in front of them was too wronged, and their favorable impression of her increased, and they came out one after another to testify for the girl.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 255 Chapter Hui really didn't mean it

"Yes, we all saw that there was no fight. The noble just fell accidentally. Everyone knows that we, the espers, are very powerful. This is a common occurrence."

"Yeah, yeah! It's just that I accidentally made him fall because of my strength. It's not a big deal."

For a moment, the staff member's face turned pale and he felt a black line on his forehead.

"But you just clearly..."

"What happened to me just now?"

Kato Megumi interrupted her again, making the staff feel choked.

"You just threatened the other party with force..."

"Threat? I think you may have misunderstood. I just didn't control my strength and accidentally broke the floor."

Kato Megumi said with an innocent look on her face.

"You said I fought with the other party. Did you see that he was injured?"

"No...but..."

"That's right. Most people will have scars. If there are no scars, it doesn't count as a fight."

The staff member's face turned red.

"But this is clearly..."

"It's obviously a fight, it's a threat, right?"

Kato Megumi continued.

"If you insist on saying so, then Hui has no other options, but do you have any evidence? There is no magic power around, and I didn't use any weapons. The other party didn't even have a scratch, and he left without caring. The other party didn't care, so why do you have to care about it? Do you think I'm threatening you?"

"When a weak person is implicated by an unintentional action of a strong person, it cannot be said to be the strong person's fault. We can only blame the weak person for being too weak."

"In the same way, I was just careless and used too much strength, which damaged the territory. It was my fault that the other party fell, but he didn't care. Why do you care about it? You even have to pester me and ask me to hand over 100 gold as a fine."

"This is a bit strange. Everyone has testified for me and said it's not true, but you still insist on it. Do you have any opinion about me? Or... do you want to please that noble son?"

As Kato Megumi said this eloquently, the staff couldn't get a word in at all, and their faces remained gloomy. Finally, when they heard Kato Megumi's conclusion that it was torture, they quickly and excitedly refuted.

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't!"

Although this was the truth, and she really wanted to please the other party, after all, he was a noble, but how could she really tell the truth? If so, her job would be in jeopardy.

"Well... okay! If you insist on thinking so, I can only pay the fine. Although I don't want this little money, if you insist on fining me like this, then I can't do anything about it. After all, Hui is an outsider."

Kato Megumi looked at the staff with a helpless look on her face, as if to say, "I know what you mean, but I'm weak and can't argue with you, so I can only be blackmailed by you," which made the staff look so angry that she was vomiting blood.

Not only that, but what made her even angrier was that people around her were whispering about her and even started talking about some unfair practices at her job.

"It's really pitiful, that lady. It's obviously not her fault, but she insisted on being blackmailed. Doesn't the association always claim to be fair and just? How could there be such a staff member?"

"Hush, you don't know. I heard that this guy got in through the back door. He didn't go through the assessment at the beginning, so his character is not very good. If he wasn't a relative of someone above, how could he get in?"

"Besides, this girl does a lot of small things behind the scenes, and is very flattering. She often gives the good tasks to those with connections, and the bad ones to those without connections. Everyone is dissatisfied with her in their hearts."

"Really? It seems like this guy is a tough guy."

They were clearly whispering, but their voices were louder than each other, obviously intentional.

For a moment, the staff's faces became increasingly gloomy, and they looked at Kato Megumi with increasing resentment. Now, her reputation was going to be ruined by this woman.

She just wanted to get along well with the nobleman, why did she have to be so stubborn and relentless? The clothes she was wearing clearly cost hundreds of gold.

Kato Megumi didn't know what the staff in front of her was thinking, but seeing the hidden resentment in the other's eyes, she just felt funny.

It was you who insisted on coming up here, why do you blame me? I can't be the one taking advantage of you just because I have money!

Things like what I did happen all the time in the association. The essence of it is the law of the jungle. How can someone be bullied just because he is rich and from another place? This lady has chosen the wrong target.

Looking at the staff who still didn't repent, Kato Megumi blinked and moved her fingers slightly in her sleeves.

pat-

Something fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone, including the staff whose eyes were full of fierceness.

The onlookers saw the sign with the familiar group on it and reminded Kato Megumi.

"Miss, you dropped something."

"Ah, thanks."

Kato Megumi bent down to pick up the sign, inadvertently showing the front of the sign to the staff member. Seeing the other party's face turn pale, she felt very satisfied.

Someone nearby was looking at the familiar pattern with some curiosity. Something seemed to flash vaguely in his memory, but he couldn't grasp it at all.

So someone asked.

"Speaking of which, this brand looks so familiar. What brand is this?"

"Ah, you said this..."

Kato Megumi seemed to be surprised as she raised the sign in her hand. The adventurer badge on it was lifelike, inlaid with a special gold border and dotted with delicate patterns around it.

Kato Megumi pretended to think, tilted her head, and then suddenly realized.

"Ah... Come to think of it, I almost forgot. This is the badge the Adventurer's Guild gave me. They said they wanted me to be an honorary member, so they gave me this badge and said it would give me some special privileges."

As she spoke, Kato Megumi frowned and blinked innocently.

“But I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time and casually put it in my pocket. I didn’t expect it to fall out today and I couldn’t remember it for a while.

“It’s actually a token of honor!”

Someone at the side exclaimed, and as that person exclaimed, the staff member's body was already shaking.

Finished!

it's over...

With a snap, the staff member collapsed to the ground because he couldn't control his trembling body.

Following Kato Megumi's description, and the staff's current appearance, even a fool could tell that this brand was not ordinary, and it was from the Adventurer's Association. You have to know that this kind of brand represents privilege.

Anyone wearing a badge with privileges can generally use it in every guild, and this badge will not be issued without significant merit or great potential. They have certain privileges of the association and can even replace the privileges of the association's branch president in some affairs when necessary.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 256 Chapter What is the Right Pretense

Of course, the brand that can confer rights must be a higher-end honor token. After all, honor tokens also have several levels like adventurer badges.

Although I don’t know if this is the highest level one, it is obvious that no matter what kind of honor token it is, the Adventurer’s Association will treat it well or win it over.

"This time, this woman is in trouble."

Someone nearby who disliked the staff laughed.

Now the onlookers also understood that the girl in front of them was not the kind of person who could be bullied. She was not weak, she was just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

How could I forget such a token of honor!

It was obvious that at first the lady just ignored the troublesome staff member in front of her, but who knew that the other party pushed her into a corner and directly took out the sign, and now that person was finished.

"How is it possible, you...how could you..."

The staff member was in disbelief. She just wanted to plan for herself and make her future better. Why did she encounter such a thing? Why did the person she troubled have this thing? For a moment, she didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong. It was obvious that no matter what, she would lose her job.

She understands this, and so do the people around her.

Anyone who carries an honorary token must have an outstanding status, outstanding ability, or have made great contributions. No matter which one it is, a small staff member cannot afford to offend them. What's more, the Adventurer's Guild will definitely favor the person who carries the token, not her.

The ending for the staff can be said to be satisfactory.

As expected, the person in charge of the association soon came out to apologize to Kato Megumi in person, and the staff member was fired and fined.

They also invited Kato Huijin to visit the Adventurer's Guild and wanted to treat him well. After all, the person in front of them was carrying the highest level of honor token, and they were not someone they could easily offend.

However, Kato Megumi refused because she found it troublesome, and she just wanted to get the contract done as soon as possible and didn't want to waste time here. The best thing would be to sign the contract as soon as possible and then find a hotel to rest.

As if he had seen through Kato Megumi's intention, the person in charge here did not get angry, but tactfully granted her a privilege and asked someone to sign the contract for the two of them first. Kato Megumi only had to wait in the waiting area for a while.

As for the other people, to express their apologies for the trouble they had caused, the person in charge gave each of them a glass of beer, and all the money for the beer for the day was waived, and the social etiquette was handled perfectly.

Kato Megumi couldn't help but feel fond of such an attitude, but fondness was fondness, and she really didn't want to waste her time communicating with him.

It's not that she is unworldly, it's just that there is no need. If nothing unexpected happens, after getting enough fire agate, she will leave Huonao Town, and she will hardly have any dealings with the Adventurer's Association in the future. In this case, it is really unnecessary and a waste of time for her to manage relationships and connections.

After handing over his adventurer badge and telling his name, the new staff member led Sabei to report and sign the contract, while Kato Megumi could wait outside comfortably without having to run around for tedious matters.

After returning to the original waiting position and sitting down, Kato Megumi hadn't been quiet for long when someone at the side started praising her.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable! I thought you would be bullied by that staff member. You know, many newcomers have been treated unfairly by that guy. I didn't expect you to drive that woman out in one go. It's really satisfying!"

Kato Megumi looked back and saw a middle-aged man with a bearded face and smiled slightly.

"This is what I should do. It just so happens that I am also annoyed with her, so I will do my best to help her."

Unexpectedly, Kato Megumi actually replied to her. The outgoing uncle looked at her and then smiled.

"Who said it wasn't true? Hahaha, sister, you are straightforward. I didn't expect that appearance is not the best indicator of a person's character. You look so delicate, but I didn't expect that you are so strong. You can easily crush the floor without any strength. I, Old Beitou, am convinced. Speaking of which, I didn't expect that you actually have that honor token. I don't know what you do for a living to have such a thing."

"It was just a coincidence. I accidentally discovered a goblin cave and saved many victims."

"Oh, is that so? It seems like you did a good thing, little girl~"

The bearded uncle then thought of something, patted the table thoughtfully, and said.

Kato Megumi smiled and did not shake her head, allowing the other party to misunderstand. In fact, this badge was issued based on her identity and had nothing to do with those girls. However, it was a misunderstanding and there was no need for her to explain.

But soon, the bearded man's expression changed, and he said to Kato Megumi with an admonishing look.

"But you are still too young. I don't know what you are thinking. You are willing to team up with that Sa Bei. Don't you know her bad luck? How dare you run to her? Tell me... what are you young people thinking... Before, there was a son of a noble family, and now there is a powerful young lady like you. Could it be that the bad luck has some magical effect?"

Hearing this, Kato Hui said helplessly.

"I just promised her that I would keep my promise. Besides, I will help her if I can. It shouldn't be a problem if I don't touch her body parts."

But the bearded man shook his head.

"Hey, you are still young and full of energy. Even if we don't meet, what good will it be for you to be with that unlucky person? I think I am experienced and have been here for a while, but I have never seen such an unlucky person. Listen to my advice and stay away from him if you can."

Kato Megumi smiled and said nothing.

"Who knows, uncle... maybe it's not a bad thing for me..."

Upon seeing this, Bearded Man said nothing more. Young people are full of vigor and vitality, always thinking that they are the best in the world and are not afraid of anything. But they will understand when they encounter problems.

Alas, he was also young and energetic back then!

Unfortunately, now, my wife is gone, my son is gone, and I am still here taking on some menial jobs, living in a daze.

Looking at Kato Megumi's energetic face, Bearded Man couldn't help but fall into thought and began to recall his past.

When did I start to degenerate? When did I feel that I was just an ordinary person, that the world did not revolve around me, and that no matter how hard I tried, I could not compare to those talented people; so I stopped working hard, stopped fighting, and just continued to live in a muddle-headed way just to earn a living and drink a glass of wine...

As he thought more deeply, the atmosphere around him gradually changed, and Kato Megumi on the side realized something and tilted her head as she looked at the "dazed" bearded face beside her.

At this time, Sabei waved from a distance, and Kato Hui thought about it, she took out a magic stone, put it next to the bearded man, then got up and left.

When Bearded Face woke up, he felt refreshed, and Kato Megumi was no longer by his side.

When he saw the magic stone in his arms, Bearded Man was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and shook his head.

"Come to think of it, I've been called uncle, right? I'm still young... It's time to shave my beard, otherwise if people keep calling me uncle, I'll be losing more and more as I grow older."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 257 Chapter So where are the teammates?

Because of the token, the procedure that should have taken some time was completed quickly.

Then Sabei brought Kato Megumi to a hotel where they could stay. The hotel was not too expensive, the room decoration was very nice, and the hygiene was not bad. Eriri was very satisfied.

But remembering that bedding and other things were shared, Kato Megumi took out clean and soft bedding from the space and spread it on the bed. After the bedding was spread out, Eriri lay down on it and rolled around comfortably.

Gulu gulu——

Roll, roll, roll~

Looking at Eriri lying on the bed, Kato Megumi poked her gently with her index finger.
