As Gunter sits there smoking and drinking, listening to the questions of Rinni and the unnamed man, he would first respond to Rinni by saying "My arrival was just coincidence, I was in fact looking for more of the unscrupulous types. Information is key anywhere you go, and I figured to ask the homeless and criminals.", but then Gunter looks over at the corpse and says "But I ran into a... delinquent. And like any father I had to bend him over my knee and spank the little toddler." Gunter would finish off that statement with a smile.
Gunter looks directly at Lucian, and begins responding to his statements and questions.
"I do not know who died and made you a god but last time I checked genocide never lead to peace and prosperity...It only created monsters and cold-blooded killers from the survivors of the deceased. Violence begets violence... Death bears the fruit of death."
Gunter would say to that, "Genocide and war has always lead to peace and prosperity. It's fact. History will always be written by the victor. If you look into the history books of Fiore, I guarantee you you'll read about great victories and battles, and how you have a lasting peace right now, but you don't. In reality, those were war crimes or genocides or butchering the enemies, and Fiore has now become corrupt and disgusting. Nothing more than a trash can with rats squirming around. And those monsters and killers you talk about, those are the heroes of lore. Hell, look at the nine heroes. To someone, those were monsters and killers. But you are right about one thing: Death does bear fruit of death. And I am the fruit that Fiore has borne."
"So. Who convinced you three that this purging of our guild was for lasting peace? Two, did you take on the task for payment and so the rhetoric you just spit out was merely the reason you were given? Or do you truly believe in that misguided vision that would have you give innocent lives over to death?"
"As to your first question about Penumbral Guard, nobody convinced me, I was simply asked by Tomoe. No payment was given. I didn't do it for money. His reasons were his own. But from what I saw about your guild, you were weak and it sent a message to those lazy, disgusting light guilds that did nothing about the atrocities I committed there. If you want to believe that my vision is misguided, that's fine, call me a monster. Meanwhile, the other guilds that are otherwise here to protect the innocents of Fiore, watched and did nothing. So what does that make them?" Gunter would say with a stern look.
"And my last question, what do you plan to do to bring this peace of yours to the world? Because I'm sure if you had the nerve to attack an entire established guild of well down mages and good people you would have a complete and total foolproof plan with how to proceed in order to achieve your peace."
Before responding to this, Gunter would sigh. He would look up at the ceiling of this dilapidated building, inhale deeply of his cigar, take a long sip of his whiskey, keeping the smoke in his lungs before exhaling. Then he would look back at Lucian and say "No plan is truly foolproof. Hurdles will always arise out of nowhere. But my plan, and I have no reason to hide it from you; if you wish to stand in my way, that's on you, I can respect that. But my goal is that I am going to plunge this world into a dark age, if you will. Forcing those light guilds to get stronger or die. And hopefully they will get stronger. When that happens, they will battle against me and the other dark guilds. In that chaos, I will butcher these disgusting, putrid cockroaches you call dark guilds, ripping them out like weeds. Because the peace you have right now is nothing more than a fucking cold war with your heroes too lazy to get off their fucking asses to help innocents or other heroes. And the nobles, you might wonder about them. Well, they have lived in luxury, sitting in their golden thrones, taking advantage of the downtrodden. So it's very simple what I'm going to do to them. If they want their gold so much, I'll toss them in a molten pot of gold, and then we will break apart their bodies and give it to the people as the new currency. And the strongest of those heroes that fought the hardest and the one that is truly a king among his peers, he will lead this country, instead of that puppet rat-king we have now. And once that is all done, and Fiore is for the better, as I said to Rinni, I will either serve my time in jail for the rest of my life or awaiting execution, or I will repent by serving that king, wiping out his enemies."
As Gunter finishes, and there is visible rage behind his voice, his Eye of Kaom would suddenly open, staring Lucian down directly. Gunter would say "Do you understand? And do you have any further questions?" Gunter would then inhale deeply, the smoke of his cigar, and finish off the rest of the amber liquid in his glass trying to calm himself down. His Eye of Kaom would close. He would look at Rinni and say "I apologize, I know it makes you uncomfortable."
Meanwhile in the background, Kratos looks at this tiny fox that just spoke to him out of nowhere, and says "I was specifically told by my boss not to eat you. So for the time being I won't eat you. As to the hotdog question, I do have weenies. Do you want a hotdog or a cock-meat sandwich?" Regardless of the response, Kratos would pull out a hotdog from a sack and gives it to Winter. Kratos would then say "So you finally grown some brains and gained sentience? That's pretty cool I guess. Also, do you see those jokers? That dude right there." Kratos would say and point to Lucian "That dude looks fucking pissed."
Kratos would then say "I wonder who shoved a stick up his ass." Kratos is not quiet about what he just said at all. Gunter's response to this would be simply shaking his head while rubbing his temple. And Kratos would continue eating his weenies.
Gunter would listen to Rinni and the mysterious man about their responses and also observing their general reactions to his statements. He would also occasionally keep an eye over on Kratos to make sure he didn't eat the Snow Vulpix. Based off of the feel that Gunter has gotten up to this point, he's in a very interesting situation. In his mind, he still wants Rinni in the guild, but he realizes now that there is a possibility for Lucian. Whether Lucian realizes it or not. After realizing this, Gunter unfortunately slips a small smile. Not too noticeable, but noticeable nonetheless.
