Elf-like Life

Chapter 75, Explanation

Thank you to reader 20181002012240356 for the 500-coin reward, and to Ice and Snow Honey for the 100-coin reward.

And so, a new punishment was imposed.

The original 1500 contribution points reward for the reception task will be deducted to 0 points, and the small flag being defaced will be considered as damage to guild finances. All of the above will be compensated.

Did you think that was the end of it?

Of course not.

For the musical note parrot, the small flags printed with the president's image represent the president's honor.

Now the chairman has completely lost face because of the two kids, and they must be held accountable according to the terms of the contract.

(Previous Recap - Contract Item 4)

4. Anyone who damages guild property without authorization or seriously harms the guild's reputation will be held accountable by our guild for up to 50 years after their death.

Varied!

The Grand Steward, the Musical Note Parrot, said bluntly:

"What?"

"I'm letting you use your contribution points to offset the compensation, and then pursuing the matter for 50 years after your deaths. Is that too much to ask?"

Upon hearing this, Pikachu was the first to show a little displeasure:

"How could they do this!"

"Master Steward, before we set off, Little Dragon and I were attacked by those bad guys, and then their little flags were secretly altered. We were victims too!"

The musical note parrot turned away without hesitation:

"What kind of bad guy?"

"I don't care about any of that. The fact is that the guild's finances have been damaged, and neither of you two apprentices can escape responsibility!"

Charmander used its little paw to block Pikachu, and calmly said:

"Explanations are useless at times like this, Pikachu."

Pikachu was so angry it was almost crying; its little head drooped, full of grievance, and it really was about to burst into tears on the spot.

"But it's a little dragon!"

"We've been framed! Those bad guys destroyed these little flags! I, we, sob sob sob..."

If we use Charmander's human-centric worldview to interpret the whole incident, we can quickly explain why Pikachu was doing something futile.

First of all, the Grand Steward Musical Parrot is like a senior boss in the workplace.

If a senior leader is unhappy and the company's internal property has been damaged, he will definitely hold his subordinates accountable.

Then think about it.

The three in charge of this mission were Charmander, Pikachu, and Shrimp.

Unfortunately, the two flags that were altered were kept in Charmander and Pikachu's bags, which means that the two little ones are only responsible for the guild's property.

Therefore, when it comes to assigning responsibility...

As the head steward, the Note Parrot only follows the principle of addressing the issue at hand; any other interpretation is useless to the Note Parrot.

Charmander: "I understand. Anyway, to sum it up in one sentence..."

"So it's like our human world's principle of 'objection over person,' while your world's principle is 'objection over sprite,' right?"

The note parrot's voice grew even louder:

"That's right!"

"Now that you two have realized your mistakes, you should both go back and reflect on them. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. You'd better disappear from my sight as soon as possible!"

Disappearance? That's impossible.

Now Charmander disagrees, and even Pikachu is the first to disagree.

In Little Fire Dragon's opinion, the idea of ​​holding someone accountable for 50 years after death is just an unreasonable clause in a predatory contract and has no meaning. He can do whatever he wants when the time comes.

But we absolutely cannot tolerate crossing the line regarding contribution points rewards; we must get those 1500 contribution points back!

From Pikachu's perspective, this capitalist bird was being far too aggressive and demanding.

Although the ultimate responsibility lies with myself and Charmander, we should first listen to the facts I have stated before determining the appropriate punishment.

Pikachu's first slightly loud voice:

"But, Chief Steward, you should also consider what we've said. Those bad guys are the real culprits!"

Charmander added with a serious expression:

"Exactly! You can punish us as you please, but we absolutely must get our guild contribution points!"

----split line----

Faced with the two little ones' reasoned argument, the head steward, the musical note parrot, instantly lost his temper without saying a word.

I've seen a few difficult apprentice Pokémon before, but I've never seen two as bold as Charmander and Pikachu.

They actually dared to negotiate with me.

Even talking back when angry?

The entire guild hall is currently filled with unseen tension, especially as some elders are watching from the sidelines, witnessing the head-on confrontation between the two little ones and the note parrot.

Among them, the buck-toothed raccoon, who took good care of the two little ones, was the first to peek out and whisper something from a hidden spot behind Pikachu.

Hopefully, this will serve as a reminder to the two little ones to stop arguing with the head steward, the musical note parrot.

(Elder Bucktooth Raccoon): "Oh my God!"

"You two had better keep quiet. I understand how you feel, but once the head steward gets angry, he's absolutely unreasonable!"

Not far away, the Roaring Bomb and the Gopher were huddled together, whispering amongst themselves.

(Elder Roaring Bomb): "No way, I don't remember the Chief Steward being this angry in a long time. Have you heard of that legend?"

(The groundhog peeks out its little head):

"I haven't heard of the legend, but I remember there's an old saying in our guild."

(Summary by Veteran Three-Groundhog):

"That's right, that's the saying."

"If the guild leader gets angry, the entire guild could be destroyed in an instant. If the steward gets angry, although he is not as powerful as the guild leader, half of the guild can still be destroyed."

In short, based on the information gleaned from the elders, neither of these two big shots in the Fat Koding Guild is someone to be trifled with.

The Grand Steward, the Musical Note Parrot, was about to erupt in a furious rage.

This outburst of anger was enough to shake half of the Fat Koopa Guild to its core, causing several veteran Pokémon to retreat hastily, some even hiding in a corner as if dodging an atomic bomb.

Right now,

Behind the Grand Steward, the Note Parrot, raging flames were burning fiercely, and his voice, filled with boundless anger, was the screechest he had ever been in a fit of rage!

"you!"

"They!"

"You two dare to anger me? It seems you really are..."

"No!"

"think!!"

"live!!!"

"Yes!!!!"

For a fleeting moment, Charmander admitted that he was genuinely a little scared.

Pikachu had no idea what kind of devastating explosion the guild would unleash when the Note Parrot erupted in fury like a volcano!

【!!!!!】Bucktooth Raccoon + Diglett + Three Diglett + Roar Bomb are eliminated from the stage:

"Everyone, run! It'll be too late if you don't run now!!!"

boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

At the last moment, a series of loud explosions suddenly occurred, and the two little ones thought that the note parrot had unleashed some kind of flying-type special move in anger.

As it turns out, all of this originated from the president's office.

!

For a moment, the musical note parrot was still in a state of panic:

"What happened, President-sama?!"

Thick smoke billowed from a corner of the president's office, and there were even large amounts of blackened, charred remnants left on the president's desk.

"President-sama!"

"President-sama, are you alright? President-sama, please answer me!!"

It's a little late tonight, but I'm here anyway. Finally, a huge thank you to all the readers! I'd also like to ask for your votes, tips, favorites, and investments. That's all for this chapter!
