Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Chapter 177 1 Principles I Have Always Upheld

“Hey Zach, are you really planning on robbing someone?”

"Come on, Jimmy. How long are you going to keep nagging me?"

On the plain southeast of the Elf Village, under the moonlight, Zack and Jimmy were arguing. They were arguing loudly because they felt there was no one else around them. It wasn't because they had lost their cool.

However, anyone who saw Jimmy's endless irritation would have judged that he had lost his cool.

"Our plans are already messed up enough. Now something so rare has appeared. How can we miss this opportunity!"

"It's a mess, isn't it? Our plan in the Elf Village has been ruined? The management of the village has become strict. Snatching monsters around here is simply courting death, I think so."

In response to Zack's accusation, Jimmy exploded in anger: "I said stop arguing! Capturing rare monsters and earning high prices through black market transactions is our job. Don't forget, we are legitimate adventurers on the surface, just to deceive others!"

Jimmy had completely lost sight of his surroundings. His voice was carried far away by the wind. Didn't he think that someone might hear it?

As Zach thought about this, he felt helpless.

"I haven't forgotten. You're able to switch between good and evil, between the two Hunter masks, with such skill that it's not for the faint of heart."

"If you knew, don't complain! You are a guy with only brute force, you should just listen to me quietly."

“Okay, okay, okay.”

Facing Jimmy's high-handed attitude, Zack responded with a sigh. This was already a common occurrence, and he didn't feel particularly annoyed.

(Really? Why would I do evil things with this guy?)

Zack thought to himself as he looked at Jimmy who was chattering non-stop.

He had always been self-aware. From the beginning, he was just a good tool for Jimmy. If there was any danger, such as the risk of being caught, he would definitely use himself as a scapegoat immediately.

Although there is no definite evidence, it is very likely to be the case. Zach is confident in his heart.

(Knowing this, I must have been a little crazy to have stayed with him. But I won’t agree to it this time. I’m sorry for going into a dangerous area knowing it was dangerous.)

Zach and his team had previously targeted wild monsters, but they had always avoided such actions because they would easily leave traces if they involved humans.

This was Jimmy's idea. No matter what others said, he had no intention of changing his mind. He was so confident.

(I was quite surprised when I heard that we were going to target the spirit beast that the boy brought. He easily broke the principles we had always adhered to. It seems that this guy is also very anxious.)

When Zach closed his eyes and nodded, Jimmy yelled with a puzzled look on his face, "Hey, Zach! Are you listening to me?"

"Hmm? I'm listening. Um, what did you say?"

Instead of answering, seeing that Zach was obviously not listening, Jimmy sighed, then sat cross-legged again, looking down at Zach sitting there, with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Just threaten that beast tamer kid and you can control four monsters. It's so simple, right? I think even you can understand it."

Jimmy looked down at Zack smugly, and Zack sighed again: "I understand, but I don't agree. I also said just now that this is too dangerous. I will not agree easily this time."

With a calm voice, Zack shook his head, to which Jimmy responded with a skeptical look.

"Zack. Are you afraid of that guy? He has no power at all. It will be easy for us to find a chance to threaten him."

"Maybe. But what if I can't find that opportunity?" Zack said this, thinking that maybe it was time to speak out what was on his mind.

There would be no progress if this continued. It was absolutely impossible to persuade this guy gently. And he himself didn't have such clever tricks.

Thinking of this, Zack stood up and stared at Jimmy: "What's wrong? Why do you still want to go against me?"

Although Jimmy was still pretending to be tough, his attitude was obviously shrinking. The moment Zack stood up, he obviously took a step back. Even Zack couldn't help but be surprised to see such a useless partner.

"You are nothing more than a barbarian! You can't even think of a reasonable plan. I've always been the one thinking, and I've always been the one to solve problems. You always just use force to solve everything. I've had enough of you!"

The words released in anger revealed Jimmy's true thoughts.

Zach didn't feel angry when he heard this. On the contrary, he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness as if he had had similar thoughts.

As expected, they were both completely crazy. Zach sneered in his heart, closed his eyes and continued: "I already know what you think of me. But let's not talk about this for now. Hey, Jimmy...what's wrong with you?"

"What? What do you want to say?" Jimmy asked confusedly, and Zack looked at him with sharp eyes.

"You can't hide it from me, Jimmy. The girl who approached the magician was because she possessed great magical power. There are many people in this world who conduct illegal research on magic in secret. If you take the girl to conduct illegal transactions, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Zach said calmly, and Jimmy showed a surprised expression: "Oh, so you know it very well, I am optimistic about you again. You are indeed the best partner I have chosen."

Jimmy patted Zach on the shoulder with a smile on his face, but Zach's expression remained serious.

"You never thought about this before. Even if you did, you would never want to execute it. You always choose the method that can ensure success. That is your characteristic, and it is also part of my respect for you."

This wasn't how Zach had been feeling all along—not really. This was something he had just realized, including why he had been with Jimmy.

In short, it was yearning. Despite being called a barbarian and having only strength, she never thought of leaving him, simply because she wanted to be close to him.

Zach realized this only now and found it funny, but he continued.

"But what's wrong with you now? You have no certainty at all and are just relying on your momentum to hold on. Calm down a little and reconsider. This is not like you!"

Zach emphasized the tone a little, and Jimmy lowered his head and shook his shoulders. He thought he was crying, but he heard a happy sound.

"Ha, haha...hahahaha! I see, that's how it is, isn't that unlike me!" Jimmy laughed and stared at Zack with a twisted smile.

"Of course it is. Because of the monster incident in the capital, my perfect plan failed and became a mess. Now it's useless to do my job well again."

“Jimmy, you…”

He wanted to say "Are you serious?", but he didn't say it. He had realized that it was pointless to question now. At the same time, Zack felt regretful. Last week - no, earlier, he should have realized it earlier.

His heart can't bear a failure. Once it breaks, it will immediately fall into madness. This is the nature of Jimmy.
