Genius Warlock-Episode 403
403. unexpected meeting (2)
Jane asks to introduce Yareli..
After hearing the request, Oliver reflexively looked at Yarely sitting across from him. How to introduce······.
“······I know someone.”
After much thought, Oliver answered. I'm currently on a mission at the Magic Tower, so I can't answer straight away, so this seemed like the perfect answer..
Whatever it was, Yarely and Oliver knew each other..
Jane and Murphy, who heard the answer as if their predictions were correct, had doubts but could not say anything..
Rather, it was Yareli who argued..
“Someone you know?”
“uh······. Isn’t this someone you know??”
Oliver asked back, not understanding Yareli's reaction. Because he and Yareli really knew each other..
However, whether that was the case, Yareli made an expression so absurd that it was unusual. He even showed a hint of contempt..
It was even more noticeable because she didn't usually change her expression..
The awkward atmosphere and silence that comes with it. Murphy muttered softly..
“I think I saw this somewhere······.”
Oliver nodded in agreement. By some coincidence, Oliver also felt a sense of déjà vu..
‘Oh right. party hall.’
Oliver recalled the time he went to a party with Jane. At that time, Oliver introduced Jane to Murphy as someone he knew. and-
“-nice to meet you My name is Jane.”
Breaking through the awkward atmosphere, Jane approached Yareli and greeted her first..
After receiving the greeting, Yareli looked at Jane's outfit and stood up as if she remembered it..
“······hello. Are you Jane, Landa’s famous investor? Nice to meet you..”
Yareli recognized Jane and greeted her politely..
Oliver somehow felt better when he saw that..
I am truly proud and honored that Jane has been recognized to the point where even Yareli from the Magic Tower recognizes her..
As Yarely and Jane exchanged greetings, the awkwardness in the air was greatly diluted, and Murphy naturally introduced himself as well..
“hello? miss. My name is Murphy Kimbell and I am running a small trading business. Nice to meet you..”
“I am also glad to meet Mr. Murphy, who is renowned as a businessman..”
“do you know me?”
Murphy asked, interested. Of course, Murphy was a member of the Crime Firm and a person outside the law who had amassed a fortune by selling so much magic liquor that he was called the King of Liquor..
According to what I occasionally hear from Forrest, he already has more power and financial power than most crime firm directors..
“yes. I also know quite a few people in Gallos, and I heard about a person who supplies great liquor that competes with bloody wine... The introduction is late. My name is Yareli Ice Eye of the Magic Tower Skadi School. I came to Gallos for a while to run some business, and it was an honor to meet these precious people..”
Yareli immediately revealed his identity. He had some thoughts.
“If it's okay with you, would you like to join us??”
***
Yareli suddenly proposed to join us..
It was unexpected, but it seemed like Oliver had something in mind, so he decided to just watch without saying anything..
Murphy and Jane, who were as embarrassed as Oliver, hesitated for a moment, but after exchanging a few words as if they didn't like it, they accepted Yarely's offer..
“If you meet someone you know in a foreign country, how can you reject them? I'll be happy to sit down.”
Murphy joked and sat down at the table as Yarel suggested, and Jane followed suit..
“Have you placed your order??”
“No, not yet..”
“That's good. Well then, shall we start by ordering? It's not much, but I'll buy it as a thank you for suggesting a joint seat..”
After saying that, Murphy called the waiter and skillfully ordered in Gallos..
He was so proficient that he could not be compared to Oliver, who learned it by cramming, and his pronunciation was natural..
Oliver was impressed..
“That's amazing. Mr. Murphy. You speak Gallos really well..”
“It's no big deal. Transacting through interpretation has become more and more cumbersome, so I just learned it..”
“Still, it's amazing. The Gallo language is quite difficult to learn..”
Yareli naturally chimed in and praised Murphy. Oliver agreed..
Whether it's grammar, vocabulary, or pronunciation, I personally found Gallos language more difficult to learn than the Kingdom language..
“As the need arose, I was able to learn it quickly. Thanks to this, it is nice to be able to save on interpretation fees these days..”
“······ah. You're kidding..”
Oliver, who heard Murphy's words, sharply retorted..
It was obvious that it was a joke, since the interpreting fee would not be a lot of money for Murphy, who went from being a wealthy landlady to earning the nickname “Liquor King.”.
“······yes, that's a joke.”
Murphy shines with absurdity and familiar emotions.
He didn't know why he felt that way, but Oliver was satisfied..
Because studying humor for 30 minutes every day before going to bed didn't feel like it was a waste of time. I felt like I was getting better. I was proud.
“Mr. Murphy said he was visiting on business. Can I ask what specifically he was visiting for? ······If it’s okay with you.”
Yareli suddenly asked a question as if he was rushing in, and surprisingly, rather than being embarrassed, Murphy answered calmly..
“I'm here to negotiate the selling price of magic liquor. Normally, we negotiate every year, but suddenly an unusual current arose in Gallos..”
Oliver seemed to know what that unusual current was. Rather, the question arose elsewhere..
While I was debating whether to ask a question or not, the quick-witted Murphy answered first..
“Oh, don't worry too much. Mr. Dave... Magic Tower knows to some extent how my business operates, so it’s not that secret..”
Oliver was surprised by the unexpected fact, but soon understood..
From the beginning, Murphy's core business item, the magic spell, was made from potions, and the source of the potions was ultimately the Magic Tower..
I felt it again, but Landa seemed to have a blurry boundary between shade and sunlight..
Apparently satisfied with Murphy's answer, Yareli turned his attention to Jane..
“Did Jane also visit Gallos to invest in the magic liquor business??”
It might be possible. It is said that Millieu (Gallos' joint criminal organization) has excellent fighting skills of each member, but its capital level is relatively low due to its lack of management ability..
However, Jane shook her head as if her prediction was wrong..
“It's true that I visited for business, but that's not true. I came here to look into real estate..”
“Real estate?”
“Yes, I am interested in the urban development project being promoted by the Gallos royal family. I only met Mr. Murphy by chance. Well, he's getting a lot of help..”
“This is what you said last time at the hotel..”
Oliver, who had been quietly listening to the story, suddenly spoke..
When Jane suddenly appeared and joined Marie while she was talking to him..
Oliver, Marie, and Jane talked about various things, and Jane told Oliver that she was thinking of leaving Landa for a while because of work..
I asked where it was, but strangely enough, Jane said it was a secret at the time..
“At that time, I just wanted to keep it a secret. I wanted to be grumpy... But, I really never expected to meet like this..”
“So do i. Still, it's not bad. It's a bit surprising.”
“What's so amazing about it??”
Yareli asked. Just as Oliver was about to answer, Jane answered instead..
“It's quite similar now to when we met at the hotel. The situation... Mr. Dave talked with a beautiful woman, and I showed up after him and joined us... Looks like someone is playing a joke.”
“A beautiful woman?”
Murphy asked reflexively, showing interest..
There were many rumors about Dave the Fixer related to women, but as Murphy, who knows Dave the Fixer personally, none of them were credible..
But what a beautiful woman. She couldn't help but be intrigued..
And it wasn't just Murphy who showed interest. Yareli also raised one eyebrow and showed interest..
“It's Mari... I'm just someone you know.”
Oliver described Marie in the same way as he had introduced her to Jane at the hotel. It may seem like an insufficient explanation, but it is not a wrong explanation..
However, Jane seemed to not think so and said with a hint of sarcasm:.
“I think Dave knows a lot of pretty people..”
Attitudes similar to those shown in hotels.
The problem was that even though a considerable amount of time had passed, Oliver did not know why Jane was like this. So she decided to just answer her words sincerely. Because it was polite.
“I agree. I think I know a lot of pretty people. Luckily.”
“······.”
“······.”
“······.”
Murphy, Yarely, and Jane stare at Oliver in silence. Oliver wondered if he had made a mistake and gave additional explanation..
“That's how I feel... The staff at Angel's House, Elizabeth, Coco, etc. are all pretty... Of course, Ms. Yareli is also pretty.,”
Yareli was startled. In the past, after returning to Landa on the airship, a similar reaction to when we were separated.
Yareli glared at Oliver with a look of embarrassment, and Oliver secretly asked Murphy a question without understanding why he was acting like that..
“Did I do something wrong??”
“I think I said it before, but please don't put me in there..”
Murphy raised both palms, clearly showing his refusal. Jane's feelings seemed worse than before..
“ah····. Of course, Miss Jane is pretty too..”
“oh my god.”
After hearing Oliver's words, Murphy was astonished and muttered lowly. It was so unexpected, but the reaction was still the same..
Yareli's emotions went beyond embarrassment to become annoyed and angry, and Jane also expressed similar emotions as she rested her chin and stared at Oliver..
With his eyes shining a strong desire to open Oliver's head..
It was truly frustrating and unfair. If you just told me why it's like this, it wouldn't be like this..
So Oliver finished what he wanted to say..
“And Mr. Murphy is pretty too..”
Phew━!!
Yareli and Jane, who were drinking water while glaring at Oliver, squirted out the water they were drinking without even knowing who was first..
They were surprised, and it wasn't just them who were surprised, but Murphy as well..
He opened his mouth in quiet astonishment..
“great······. Let's stop talking now and eat quietly. Meals only. They're bringing food just in time..”
***
Yarely and Jane implicitly agreed to Murphy's suggestion, and Oliver also decided to follow..
Because everyone at the table wanted it..
Oliver followed everyone's wishes and ate a late lunch quietly without saying anything..
Without saying a word.
Rattling. Rattling. Only the sound of dishes rang out..
At that sad time when four people gathered together and thought they would part ways without any conversation, Murphy, who had finished eating first, spoke up..
“Mr. Dave.”
“Oh, can we talk now??”
Murphy nailed it with a glowing expression of extreme rejection, as if recalling memories from earlier..
“Yes, of course... However, please stop talking about who is pretty. At least when I'm there,”
“All right.”
Since it wasn't a difficult request, Oliver answered right away..
After hearing the answer, Murphy was relieved and opened his mouth again..
“after······. Actually, there is one thing I would like to ask you. That's why I did the joint stone too..”
Oliver wasn't surprised. He had read that expression in the conversation he had with Jane before they joined him..
“Originally, I was going to do it on my own, but after meeting Dave here, I wanted to get some help... can you please?”
“Can I ask what you are asking for??”
“of course. We already talked about it..”
“I was talking about it?”
“yes. I'm trying to negotiate a magic spell deal with my client, the Millieu Organization. Would you be willing to come to the negotiation table as my bodyguard, even if just for a moment? I've prepared it in my own way, but I'm nervous about doing it in my client's front yard..”
An unexpected, but not surprising suggestion. Oliver thought for a moment and was about to refuse. Because he has a job to do now.
“I'm sorry-”
“-If you can help me, I will also help you with your work..”
