The Story of Demon Hunter
139
Time passed again with the wind.
Without notice, two more months passed. Spring is almost here, and what was delayed before will be done soon.
Yes ... meeting between the division heads of the Garden of Death.
Meanwhile, over the river covered in thick ice, Arthur sat on a wooden chair while holding a fishing rod. In front of him, there was already hollowed ice, used as a fishing ground.
On his left side, there was a small wooden table where there were a few bottles of sake and a little snack. However, the young man seemed not to care much about the sake, snack, or joran in his hands. He was instead staring blankly with a mind that wandered out of nowhere.
“I've guessed you're here, Boss!”
Hearing that voice, Arthur regained his senses from his daydream. The young man then turned his head, looking towards Joe and Lily who were approaching him.
Somehow, at that time he thought about Mr. Shigekuni who trained him last year. Soaking him in a cold river overnight or some other punishment if he makes a mistake.
Unknowingly, the corner of Arthur's lips lifted.
‘Winter this time is really peaceful.’
Just then, Arthur felt the fish bite his bait. With a simple pull, a fish as big as a thigh of an adult man instantly rose above the ice surface. Seeing that, the young man whistled.
Arthur casually patted the body of the full-fat fish as he said to Joe and Lily.
“This will be our dinner.”
***
Her night.
“Actually this is delicious, but ..”
Joe took a long breath. He then glanced at the seemingly ordinary Arthur, then at Lily who was a bit reluctant to eat.
“I've guessed, Boss. Although delicious, but eating fish every day makes us bored!”
“Close your mouth and eat only.”
Arthur said in an impatient tone. The young man then pointed towards Joe with his chopsticks while babbling.
“You should be grateful to eat well every day. A complete set of meals in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
Seeing Arthur blabbering against the mother-of-the-mom scolding his son, Joe is really confused as to how to reply. She was actually grateful to be able to eat well every day. It's just ...
“I just want to change my appetite with a menu other than fish,” Joe murmured.
“Then just catch it!” arthur said in an indifferent tone before continuing to eat.
“Can't we buy material in the market?”
“Winter here sucks. Not only the livestock are getting less and rarely traded. Once sold, it is expensive!”
“...”
Joe remained silent. He felt the expensive word did not fit out of Arthur's mouth at all. As the one who completed the mission of saving an empire, the young man obviously earned a lot, a lot of wages not including gifts from the royal side.
Arthur could even buy a three-story mansion with a spacious front and back yard in another, more affluent royal capital and renovate it. So, said chicken, duck, or cow ‘expensive’ is not at all suitable out of the young man's mouth.
Rather than saying that meat is expensive, it is more appropriate to say that Arthur is very stingy!
At that moment, Arthur suddenly stopped eating. The young man then muttered.
“Indeed, although it is processed differently every day, but it is still fish. Repeated every week. Indeed, it feels a bit boring.
By the way, it got me thinking. Looks good if eat venison or bear.”
Arthur then turned to look at Joe.
“Joe! Tomorrow catch a deer or a bear. If it could be a bear. Looks like it's in the forest north of the city.”
“...”
Hearing the command, the corner of Joe's lips twitched. He took a deep breath to calm down. Gazing towards Arthur, the man nodded.
At that very instant, he had also confirmed that his conjecture was correct.
His boss, the 10th division chairman of the Garden of Death ...
Is a stubborn, stingy, random person!
