99-Episode 18: Order Properly and Wait



Impossible?
''Of course it is. Just getting to the Demon Rock is difficult enough, and turning a wild, legendary demon into a squire is obviously impossible.
Hmm....
And you're a demon trainer?
Yes.

 I don't belong to the guild yet, but I've got two demons in tow, so I can't be wrong.

''What's wrong with the demons?''
There's one here.
...Domo.

 I pointed to Mattie, who was drifting nearby.
 That's how I finally noticed her presence.
 Demons that are weakened have little presence, so it's hard for people to notice them like spirits and fairies.

''Eh? Is this a demon?
Yes.
Can you fight?
'You're not much of a fighter in this state, are you?

 She wrinkled her brow often, and then eventually popped her hand.

''So we're going to meet up with a party of adventurers who are going to help us, right?''
I won't.
How the hell do you think you're going to get to the Demon Rock?
I'm going to go as normal?
'If you can do that, you won't have any trouble! I told you, didn't I? They said they all came back without going halfway! There's no way a trainer with no rogue demons and no support staff can get to the Demon Rock! And to have a legendary demon as your squire is a dream come true! On the contrary, as soon as you cross the border with the safe zone, the demons will get you!

 She said that the demons that dwell in this plain are powerful even if they are far from the central demon rock.

''That's why a demon trainer who doesn't have the strength to fight would either ask a party of adventurers to help him or make a sufficiently strong demon a follower before taking on the challenge.
I see.
'I see... normally, if you're a trainer by nature, you should know that much...'

 She exhales in disgust.
 And then

'Ayrshire! Long time no see! I've missed you!

 With a cheerful voice, a young man came running into the store.
 He is probably in his mid-twenties.
 He has a slender, medium height and wears an ostentatious robe with gorgeous embroidery.

''Well I'm here again.

 The girl in the store mutters with a blatantly disgusted look on her face.
 Apparently, her name is Arthia.

'Do you know her?'
"I'm a regular. He's made advances to me many times and I've said no. And yet he is persistent. Even so, it seems that he is a famous demon trainer in the demon city, but his face and personality are not my type.

 Following the young man, several demons entered the shop.
 They must be his followers.

 There are wolf demons, gorilla demons, and even larger demons like ogres and minotaurs.
 But none of them are the usual common individuals.

 The ogre has only one horn, while the minotaur has an unusual horn shape.
 It may be a demon unique to this plain.

''Wha........who is that guy?''

 The young man who had come close to me suddenly looked unhappy when he noticed me.

'Who, of course it's the customer, right?'
'Ha, that's right. I thought you had a girlfriend!

 The young man laughed off like that when Arthia responded with half an eye.

''Well even if I could, it wouldn't matter to you, not really.

 The young man didn't hear Arthia's murmurings, but he announced with enthusiasm.

''Actually, this time, I've succeeded in following a very rare demon! Come on in, Griz!
Guru...

 In response to the young man's call, a huge bear with a rather well-developed arm sluggishly walked into the store.
 Arthia gasped.

''This, this is........''
It's an arm-grizzly! It was a real pain in the ass to train him, because he was so strong and obedient! So much so that it took this me a whole day!

 The giant bear has arms longer than its legs on the ground, but its head is still just above the ceiling.
 If it were to stand up, its head would surely touch the ceiling.

''Gururu........''

 Moreover, she doesn't like this small space, or she's clearing her throat uncomfortably.

You're not going to be able to get away with it? You're not going to run amok in the store, are you?
"Ha-ha, don't worry about it! After all, I'm the one who disciplined him!

 The young man laughed lightly and tapped his chest as Aasia questioned him anxiously.
 But at that moment, the giant bear lightly swung his right arm.

 Zgashan!

 Tables and chairs that were nearby were blown away and a grand sound was heard.

''Ha, ha ha........''

 The young man's smile twitched a little.

''Hurry up and let me out........!
No, he's fine. I'm just a little excited, that's all.
Gururu-ruh.

 Zgashaaan!

 Another table has been sacrificed.
 Still, the giant bear showed no signs of settling down.

'Griz! Whoa! Calm down! Come on, let's get out of here. It's true, this place is a bit small for you.

 The young man thought that this was not a good idea, and he urged the giant bear to take him out of the store.
 But the giant bear didn't respond to that, and instead entered the back of the store.

''Hee!''

 Arthia rushes away.
 The young man manages to stop her, but the giant bear still has no say in the matter.

 The giant bear is apparently heading towards the kitchen.
 A delicious smell is wafting in the air, and maybe it's caught by it.

''Guru-ruh.''

 But on the way to the kitchen, I was sitting and waiting for my food to come out.
 The giant bear was in my way and tried to brush away the entire table with an arm bigger than a log.

'Oh, look out! Run!

 Gasp.

""Huh?"

 I said to him, "Don't hold the arm of a giant bear in your hand.

I said to him, "If you want to eat, you'll have to order and wait.
