Chapter 693

Dimitris

Translated by Tods

Edited by NotEdited

Just a few days before the martial arts tournament was to be held.

We were now in the Adventurer’s Guild. This time, our purpose was not to see Diaz nor the strangely tired-looking Colbert that stood beside the couch, but the slender old man sitting on it.

「Well done for coming here」

Though he said that, there was not even a hint of affectionate expression on his face. He was just simply looking at Fran with a sharp stare.

Appearance-wise, he looked like a skinny old man with a slightly scary face.

I guess it must be because he has slant eyes in the first place, so just by being narrowed, it made him look as if he were staring at us.

His hair had turned white with age, but was still very lush. His hair, which could have been a bob if unraveled, was gathered into a short topknot at the back of his head. He had a magnificent mustache and beard, which gave the appearance of a hermit.

Well, his presence was so tremendous that one would hardly think of him as a hermit though.

Since he was sitting, I couldn’t exactly tell how tall he was, but I’d say he was a little over 170cm tall.

His skin, which had lost much of its moisture due to old age and had begun to wrinkle, looked like the surface skin of a tree.

However, I could see that there were well-developed muscles underneath that skin. His muscles were similar to that of an athlete. I could tell that he was still continuing his training.

He was wearing a loose-fitting robe that looked like a kimono with black embroidery on a purple base. Even through such a robe, I could clearly see the strength of his body.

Then Colbert steps forward and opens his mouth.

「Master――」

「I’m not your Master anymore」

「…Dimitris-sama, Hilt-ojousan, this girl is Fran, the girl who defeated me」

「Umu」

「Hmph」

Well, you’ve guessed it right. The old man in front of us was the S-Ranked adventurer, Dimitris the Immovable.

Just by observing the current exchange, I can understand that he’s not a straightforward person.

And there was another woman with a serious face that seemed to be acting as a guard standing on the other side of the couch from Colbert.

Colbert called her “Ojousan”, didn’t he? I wonder what kind of relationship they had. She looked quite strong too, on par with Colbert perhaps. She’s been looking at Fran with an evaluating eye for a while now.

Well, Dimitris is our priority right now.

「I’m Fran, a B-ranked adventurer. Nice to meet you」

Said Fran while bowing her head slightly.

Fran greeted him with an unusually formal greeting. It may have been because the other party was related to the request, but she probably understood the strength of the other party just by facing him.

I could tell by the tone of her voice that she was being respectful.

The old man then gave a silent nod to Fran.

「I’m Dimitris, an S-Ranked adventurer」

At first glance, the old man sitting on the couch with his arms crossed seemed to be full of openings. But Fran knew that if she were to attack, she would surely be met with a painful counterattack.

He showed such a strong presence that could make us clearly understand that.

It was probably on purpose. It seemed that he was trying to prevent unnecessary conflicts by showing his strength to a degree that could be clearly understood by those who were capable of fighting.

He wouldn’t take his opponent so seriously if they were so weak that they cannot sense such presence because he can simply kill dozens of them in an instant if they try to mess with him.

From what I’ve heard, Dimitris is also a bit of a battle junkie. So, he probably would be more than happy to take care of those who still tried to mess with him.

I was wondering what kind of eccentric old man he would be after hearing so much about him from Colbert, but he is somewhat better than I imagined. I was somewhat expecting that he would attack us upon our meeting.

But I was not expecting him to agree to meet us so easily in the first place.

However, while Dimitris was not as aggressive as I thought he would be, Hilt was glaring at us for some reason.

Well, rather than glaring at us, it’s more like she’s in a bad mood and had no choice but to glare at us… Anyway, the atmosphere was not so friendly right now.

Fran also unconsciously turned her gaze from Dimitris to Hilt.

「My name is Hiltoria. Dimitris-style master and an A-Ranked adventurer」

I knew she was strong, but who could guess that she’s an A ranker!? She must be one of Dimitris’ direct disciples then. It must also mean that she had passed the ordeal that Colbert was undergoing.

「I’m also the legitimate granddaughter and the heir of grandfather Dimitris. Nice to meet you」

Though Hilt said “Nice to meet you”, her face didn’t seem to mean it at all.

She was a tall, beautiful woman with dark green hair pulled up in a side pony. She was dressed in the same purple base color as Dimitris, but her’s were smaller and clearly showed the lines of her body.

Her top was a tube top with short sleeves that exposed her belly button. Her bottom is a kind of pants that looks somewhere between spats and shorts. And the protective gear to protect her legs looks like knee-high socks.

At first glance, all of them seemed to be made of thin cloth armor, but in reality, they were high-end armor made of magic beast material. The reason for their small size was probably because they were designed for ease of movement.

It’s obvious that she’s a fighter. I don’t even need to appraise her to know that. And it’s not because I observed her center of gravity or the way she move or anything.

But the knuckle duster in her hands was glinting with a swarthy light. It probably used to be silver in color, but now it had turned reddish-black. It must have been used for so many years that the blood could not be removed anymore. That showed how much she uses that knuckle duster as her main weapon.

「…」

「…」

Fran and Hilt then stared at each other. It looks like this is not going to end peacefully.
