176. Undacchable




 I sat in front of a man.
 Nicholas Lykfield.

'Thank you for your patience.'
Oh, here she is. Sis, are you sure this is the strongest liquor in the shop?
Yes. The price is...
'Oh, no, no. I don't want to talk about money.

 Nicholas took the bottle from the waiter, sniffed it, and poured two more into the cups.

'Whisper, gulp, gulp.'
More importantly, how do you know who I am?
Huh?

 Nicholas, who has been trying to shrug off the situation, quickly speaks up for himself.
 If he doesn't say anything, he looks rather dandy, but his expressions and gestures are childish or comical, or something like that.

This is it.

 Nicholas pulled out a card and placed it on the table.
 It was my card.
 7 Stars, the card Cyclo had issued me with the award at the same time.

Uggaa!

 Also, cell and

This is you, right? Ryota Sato. I didn't understand at first, this card is too badly made.
Done?
How could they possibly recreate the shit out of it? Not one tenth, nay, one hundredth of the real aura.
Aura is ...... and it's a card.

 Whether I have it or not, it's a crazy order to ask me to recreate an aura on a card.
 Well, whatever it is. I glanced at the card.
 Now I know why he knows my face and my name.

"There you go, gulp, gulp, gulp.

 I moistened my lips with the liquor Nicholas had recommended to me.
 I don't know what it is because of the way he ordered it, but I know it's a spirit, and I know it's a good one, clean and easy to drink.

I didn't expect to see you here. I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, huh?
Did you miss him?
The Lyota family boss. Untouchable, Lyota Sato.
'Untouchable? What's that?
I'm talking about you. You know, they say if you do something unreasonable in front of you, not only will you be interfered with, you'll be prevented from doing what you're doing, but your luck will drop.
Ah, .......

 Come to think of it, there's a story about that.
 They say that a lot lately, and they've been saying that more and more since the Clifford one.

"That's why they call me The Untouchable. You're not supposed to know who you are.
Yeah, I see. That's a very annoying nickname.
Hey, hey, would you like to fool around with me?
What about ......?
''Dahhhh, I'm asking you to fight me. If you run into a 7-star adventurer, wouldn't you want to fight him?
No, I won't! What's with that combative ethnic thinking?

 I put my cup down and say no, once and for all.

"I won't fight you. I have no reason to fight you.
Why not? Come on. Just a little, you know, just a little bit.
No more begging.
Just as long as one of you is down, okay?
That's a very serious battle! I won't.
Why, come on, let's knock it off.
A child!

 Nicholas began to ramble on.
 He has a dandy face and an austere voice, but he acts like a selfish child.
 But he acts like a selfish child.

 What's wrong with this guy?

That's right.

 Sweat trickles down my back.
 Nicholas, who had been complaining until then, stands up like a ghost.

"You were the one who did that to me just now. Okay, I'm going to mess with the same clerk as that one!
Stop.

 I stopped Nicholas in a quiet but clear tone of voice.
 Nicholas, who was about to attack the clerk who was bustling around in the busy store, stopped moving and turned to me.
 His eyes have a haunting glint in them.

'Stop?'
'Yeah. ...... I won't fight you for the rest of my life if I do that. No matter what.

 The moment I nodded, I remembered what Nicholas had told me.
 Untouchable, that the person who did the oi-tah was not only going to be prevented, but he was going to lose his luck.

 Remembering that, I glared at Nicholas and warned him.
 Then.



 Nicholas' motivation instantly collapsed, and he sat back in his chair and squirmed into me.

'I see, so if I deliberately go for a tease, you won't get what you want on the contrary.
......
'Mmmmmmmmmm ...... Ughhhh'

 He growls, grunts, and makes strange noises with his head in his hands.
 What a ...... big kid, really.

'...... is, oh, well, we'll just have to give up.'
I mean, why do you want to fight me?
Isn't that cool?
...... well, in its own way.
"Fighting the strong ones makes my crotch tingle like this ......
What?
I felt like I was going to blow up in a bottle, and I felt like I was going to burst out of my bottle, and I felt like I was going to explode ......
It's a pervert!

 Here's another pervert, and a bad kind of pervert.

Don't you get it? It's like the feeling you get when you hold a woman, it's ten times better.
I know! I knew that kind of pervert as soon as I heard it!

 I mean, don't bother explaining it to me, because it's creepy!

Huh ...... Hey, how can I help you fight this?

 Nicholas plopped down on the table and looked up at me with wistful eyes and asked me if I was an old man, but do you call him a child old man?
 I'm an old man and I'm a child ...... do you call this guy a child old man?
 ...... I don't want to call him that because it makes me feel strangely cute.

It would be nice if you gave up.
"I'm not giving up! No matter what.
'Stop with the cool lines. You're making me feel like I'm really going to have to fight one day.

 He didn't seem to be forcing himself on me, and although he was a bad guy, I decided he was harmless for now and went along with the drink.

'Wait, wait, what are you doing?!

 I heard a commotion from the entrance of the store.
 When I looked to see what was going on, I saw the debt collector from earlier.
 More people, are you taking your friends for revenge?

 The thug grabs the woman from earlier and presses her in a dusky voice.

'Where's that guy from earlier?
'Yeah, yeah ......'
Answer me!
"Yikes!

 The man raised his hand, the woman was slapped on the cheek and fell off balance.
 Those guys.

'Hey, hey, hey, hey!'

 Nicholas started to move before I did.
 He got up and headed for the entrance where the men were.

 I decided to keep an eye on him.
 I thought it should be tough since he's the one who's going to challenge me (Star 7), I thought it would be safe to leave this place to him, but things took a surprising turn.

'Bo, bos. Good job!
""Good job!"

 As the man bowed his head, the friends he brought with him also bowed their heads in unison.
 You mean, the boss?

Hey, hey, hey, hey. What are you guys doing?
'What? No, we're collecting from ...... and this woman is borrowing money from us.
I saw that. He returned the money. What the f*ck do you want to do to a customer who returned his money in the past?
Yeah, that's ......

 The man became upright and immobile, but began to wobble and shake.
 The companions he had brought with him were similar, completely frightened, as if they had encountered a terrible monster.

 A man who didn't answer, Nicholas punched the man.
 An unexpected punch, the man squirmed and was blown out of the store.

 Nicholas walked slowly and stood in front of the blown man.
 He continued to kick him.
 He kicked and kicked and stomped on the man, hurting him.

 After hurting him a lot, he squats down, grabs his hair and makes him look up.

Hey, I'm always here, aren't I? It's the customers who don't pay back the money and the customers who pay back the money.
Oh, uh, ......
What were you going to do to the customer, huh?
Ya, me: ......
Ah-an?

 Knock the grabbed head on the ground.
 Then he raises it up again, and more.
 And that's when I came in to stop him.
 I put my hand between his head and the ground and stopped him.

 And it was so hard.
 If I hadn't stopped him, his head would have come crashing down like a tomato, and he'd have had all the strength he could muster.

"What's this?
That's enough.
He's my protégé, and I'm giving him a lecture because he made a mistake. You understand?
'There's no point in killing them. The sermon would be wasted.
For nothing?

 Nicholas cranes his neck and looks up at the sky and thinks.

'Yes.'

 I smiled and took the man's head off.
 He stood up and stared straight at me.

"Yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right. I don't need to waste my time preaching to you about killing people.
I hope you understand.

 I'm relieved.
 For now, it looks like we avoided a scene with a bad aftertaste.

You're a good guy. Hey, do you still want to fight me right now?

 I guess I've been poisoned, I was the one who seemed to be charming to Nicholas.

'You could have fought me if you'd left me alone earlier, though.
Huh?
'If I took out your henchmen, if I came out to bully you as a master, you could have fought them, couldn't you?
'...... Aaaaah! I can't believe it! That's enough! It's all right now!
By the way, if you go out of your way to do that, you're not going to make sense and you won't get what you want.
Uh-oh!

 Nicholas became more and more frustrated with his head.

'd*mn it ...... God is mean.

 Nicholas is disappointed.
 He looks like a charming man after all.
