Chapter 75

“Hey, Ichinose. What’s the status of that matter you talked the other day?”

“Ah, hey, Leader. Good to see you.”

“Cut the small talk, Ichinose. Answer the question. What’s the status of that matter you proposed?”

“Eh? The matter I proposed?”

“Don’t play dumb now. The matter about scouting the rumoured intermediate explorer, Ando Shogo.”

“Oh! That! I completely forgot about it!”

“You’ve got to be kidding me…”

“No worries, Leader. We’ll go with what as my subordinates have confirmed, Ando Shogo’s abilities is not suitable for our clan. No need to scout him in, okay.”

“…Nn? Isn’t that different from what you said before?”

“Nn?”

“I received a report from your subordinates, but you said their authenticity were questionable. You even told me three days ago that you’d already personally assessed Ando Shogo’s abilities once.”

“… I did?”

“Come on now, get it together will ya…”

“Yeah~, really sorry about that~…”

“Well, fine then. So, Ando Shogo doesn’t have any notable abilities. Are we fine with writing that?”

“Yep, we’ll be ok with that.”

“Alright then… You’re dismissed.”

“Okays~, thanks for your hard work.”

*Bang.*

“*Sigh*… Really… I am really getting troubled by that guy’s whatever attitude. It seems he needs a good discipline next time we meet…”

“But Ando Shogo… So, you also turned out to be an explorer blown out of proportion by rumors, after all…”

“And here I thought we would finally have a newcomer worthy of our clan…”

“Fumu… But still, this really leaves me feeling a bit off… My intuition tells me not to dismiss this matter so easily…”

“If Ando Shogo really is a nobody explorer, how did he manage to rise to an intermediate explorer so quickly…?”

“Where there’s smoke, there’s a fire… Could such a seemingly insignificant person really be as rumoured? Can such a person really single-handedly wipe off the entire stampede?”

“Fumu… interesting… really interesting Ando Shogo, you intrigue me…”

“Perhaps, it would be faster if I can just meet him by myself and judge him directly…”

“I thought that if I let Ichinose make the right call, he would definitely make the correct decision… But from how he talked, it’s unlikely he met Ando himself…”

“Alright, I’ve decided. I’ll find an opportunity and meet Ando Shogo personally…”

“Maybe I’ll provoke him a bit… If he’s cornered, he won’t be able to hide his true skills for long…”

“Fufufu… Ando Shogo. I’m looking forward to the day I uncover and assess your true abilities…”
