Chapter 145 Reconciliation ③

Part 2

When I said it with all my sincerity, Arnold stopped banging his head and pulled the dragon statue out with both hands.

I was baffled. With the sound of something snapping, hot water blew up in a huge gush. Due to the unexpected development, I step back unintentionally.

It was a terrible sight. The appearance of Arnold lifting a stone statue with both of his arms over his head and staring at me was so terrifying that I can only call this a nightmare.

However, as I had seen similar scenes several times, I managed to somehow keep my sanity. I wondered if it would help me pay off my debt if I take a camera with me next time and make a compilation of all those breakdown scenes.

“Aaah… Aaah… I won’t accept it… No way, I’ll accept this!! 《Infinite Varietyyy (Senpen Bankaaa)》! I’ll be forever humiliated, if I retire being a Hunter, after losing to you!” (Arnold)

“Eh? ………… Un, un, you are right……” (Cry)

“I’ll start over again! I’ll definitely do it all over again! No matter how many times! We’ll see how long you can keep your composure…… I’m going to, make you regret, making a fool of us!” (Arnold)

Why is he talking like I made a fool out of him? I don’t really care about Arnold and his companions, but I don’t want to buy any grudge.

I tried talking to him while smiling to show him that I wasn’t hostile, but even I could only manage to draw out a dry smile.

“Wa-wait, I am not making fun of you. I want to stand corrected on that! I want you to just keep this in your mind. I have high expectations for you, Arnold-san, and your companions! I am on your side Arnold-san!” (Cry)

What was returned wasn’t words, but a broken stone statue.

The stone statue that flew with tremendous force was bounced off by the barrier of the Barrier Ring and grandly fell into the bathing area. The flying debris and droplets of water that stuck to my bangs were really annoying.

If any more debris flew at me, I would have to run away barefoot, but when the flying debris subsided, all I saw was Arnold’s back, as he walked away with a rough gait.

Scary. I am used to it, but it doesn’t make it less fearful. This is why I can never let go of my Relics.

I have just bought a new grudge. This is my last chance, something…… I have to say something.

“Arnold-san!! Is it fine for you to not enter the Onsen!?” (Cry)

“…………” (Arnold)

“Because I will bill you for destroying the place!” (Cry)

What came out of my mouth was a bunch of nonsense.

Ahhhhh…… I’m screwed.

There was no reply. The door closed with a roaring sound that hurt my ears.

Silence returned. In the middle of the half-destroyed bathhouse, I hugged my knees and sighed deeply.

There was a simmering heat inside his brain. The heat was unbearable even for Arnold, who had always tried to remain calm at all times.

Arnold’s power is so high that it can interfere with his daily life. That is why he always holds back his strength when he moves, but today was the only day he couldn’t do it.

Hay peeked out from his room when Arnold returned with footsteps that could have shattered the floor.

When he saw Arnold’s face, his eyes opened widely. It was probably because Arnold’s expression had changed so much since he had left the room.

Arnold said in a low voice as he bit down and bared his teeth to the point of grinding.

“Hay! I’m going to re-train. I’m not going to let that ridiculous man get the better of me! I’ll show you what a real, true high-level Hunter looks like. What breaststroke swimming training! What cock-a-doodle-doo!! Fuck! You think I’m a chicken!?” (Arnold)

“Y………… Y-yeh! …… We were surprised at the 【Castle of a Myriad Demons】, but Arnold-san was able to fight. If we all improve our abilities by capturing Shrines in order, we will surely be able to conquer it one day.” (Hay)

Hay hurriedly replied. His Party Members who were gathered in the room also heard Arnold’s roaring voice, they were frightened, but at the same time, their expression somewhat brightened.

Putting his fist on the wall, Arnold forgot that he had been wondering whether to quit being a Hunter and shouted.

“Of course! Like I can stand, having that man above us! What, “I am on Arnold-san’s side”, ah?! This anger, will never cease until, I surpass him! Like I can just sit here and rest! We’re leaving tomorrow, get ready!” (Arnold)

“Tomorrow is it…… But we still didn’t have an Onsen bath.” (Hay)

“You’re right. I knew you wouldn’t stay in the Onsen town a long time, but I didn’t expect it to be just one day.” (Arnold Party Member 1)

“Yeeeah…… I, haven’t entered the Onsen yet.” (Arnold Party Member 2)

The Party Members, who had been silent until then, began to complain after hearing Hay’s astounding words.
