Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 652

 

Swindle



"Oh! How are you going to make up for this!"



Appearance age is late teens


Gender is male


The clothes are of good quality but dirty and falling apart.


A man who was clearly in a bad mood was yelling in the middle of the road.



"Um… that's…"


"Ahh?"



The other person is sitting on the ground, terrified.


Probably a girl who isn't even over 10 yet.


With a baby in a stroller


When the girl tries to speak, the man intimidates her into silence.



"We're the Imperial Army! What's going on?"



Laurent steps in between the two.


He's clearly acting like he's protecting the girl.



"Oh, thank you for your hard work."



Such a rattled man looks up to him.


Where does that confidence come from?


If you look at it from the side, everyone will see that the man is more of a villain.



"I would like an explanation of the circumstances!"


"Oh, that's right..."



The man smiles and explains what happened.


He says the girl pushing a stroller hit him.



"That's a lie!"



A man who was watching the scene interjected.



"Even though the stroller was right in front of him, he didn't even try to avoid it and just ran into it, and the child tried to stop him...''


"Shut up you outsiders!"



The man doesn't tolerate opposition


A strong kick flies into the abdomen of a man who raised an objection.


It was a dangerous move, and if you didn't support yourself as you were kicked and sent flying, you might have hit your head.



"Stop it!"



Laurent's angry voice echoes, but the man doesn't care at all.



"Ah? What? Are you complaining? To me?"


"A person who engages in such behavior will only lose credibility."


"I see, that's too bad. You say you're an imperial soldier, right? We're the elite of this country, you know? It's all over for you, isn't it?"


"What do you mean?"


"Don't you understand? I'm from the Southwest Continent, but I'm a person who works in Edgeworth territory."


"…Hoh?"


"Do you understand? Edgeworth-sama is the highest ranking member of the Empire's aristocracy. Are you complaining about me working there?"



Hmm??????


Sorry, am I stupid?


I have no idea what he wants to say


Are you trying to say that you are great because you work under a powerful aristocrat in the empire?



"Is that so?"


"That's right, if you understand, scram!"



I guess you could say his lucky we found out before there's no turning back.


Should I call him stupid for not realizing that the person he was looking down on in front of him was a member of the Edgeworth family?


Laurent's fist was right in front of him.


He punched the angry man in the stomach as hard as he could.



"Youuu, I, with Edgeworth..."



I'm really impressed by how he doesn't lose his demeanor even though he's crouching on the ground.



And just like that, the guard dragged the man away.


But



"Why didn't you move sooner!"



Laurent introduced himself as the youngest member of the Edgeworth family.


However, he still seems to be a person of considerable standing.



"Ha! Sorry!"


"It is the job of security guards to respond immediately when a problem occurs! But above all, it is your job to prevent problems from occurring!"



The initial response is slow. Laurent yells at the guard.



"If you underestimate the delay this time, it is not surprising that fatal accidents and incidents will occur in the future! Thoroughly investigate and report the cause and solution! Those who cannot do so will be asked to leave the Empire immediately. That’s it! Start taking action!"



I learned that Laurent is a serious person, as reflected in his appearance, his behavior, and the way he speaks, and is strict towards himself and others.
