Chapter 92

On the way back to the city of Lomarn, I explained the situation to the Gordon brothers and told them to give the balm bird to Gaston .

“I’m also asking you to collect it too . Don’t disappear with all that money . ”

“Don’t worry, I won’t take any chances with that kind of danger . ”

The bullying and Gordon’s body tremble .

As for us, we can’t mess with them if they escape .

The Gordon brothers hand over the balm bird to Gaston and Gaston redeems it at the Adventurer’s Support Center .

The money will be given by Gaston to the Gordon brothers to bring it to us .

…… two times .

Honestly, I’d like to have the Gordon brothers pick it up, but I don’t want to get tangled up with Gaston again .

As long as there are no problems and the exchange goes smoothly, we’ll continue with this style of communication in the future .

Gaston has a lot of difficulties with his personality, but I’m sure he’d like to see continued results .

He’ll give me the exact amount of money to keep my contract with him…… that, I’d like to think .

However, it’s quite possible that he’ll change his mind when the money is in front of him, and there’s no end to what he’ll do if he has to be persuaded every time .

The Gordon brothers would be able to threaten you better than I can .

“However, you should just go yourself, so why are you going around like this…… N-, no, I don’t mean to interfere with you .

Gordon corrects his own words .

“If you achieve anything, the nobles will come out, won’t they? I don’t want to get involved too much . And I’ve learned this time that it’s not a problem as long as I’m making money . ”

I’m planning to return to the Marren village when the engagement with Gizel is up in the air .

If I were to go into the service of a nobleman, I could be in trouble at that time .

The income may be stable, but if you can gather enough money by hunting magical beasts, there is no advantage in that .

Besides, if you get involved in a power struggle just because you’re perpetually skilled in magic, you might even lose your life .

I don’t know what level of sorcerer the nobles have, but I’m sure they are not half-baked .

With a mere wave of their staff, they must be able to split oceans and create mountains .

There was a fairy tale about something like that in the Marren village . Was it a myth?

“I, I see…… but even so, we won’t be bothered by the money……”

Gordon looked convinced and unconvinced .

“If I had a nobleman who could move around freely and leave whenever he wanted, and who was willing to help fund my research, I’d serve him, too . ”

“…… I don’t think there’s anyone that convenient . ”

After I got to the city, I gave the balm bird and the subjugation report to the Gordon brothers .

I reminded them not to let too many people see the contents of the cart and the exchange, and we decided to part ways for now .

By the way, this defeat report is also a Mea’s creation .

For confirmation’s sake, I looked through the contents inside, but it’s as eccentric style as ever .

I didn’t hear anything about the writing style last time, so it should be fine, but since Gaston had knocked the balm bird off with his bare hands, I suggested that Gaston be allowed to use an arrow to be consistent .

The balm bird has a wound from an arrow, so it could be tricky to remove it here .

When I looked back at it after I had it rewritten, I found that it had been changed to include Gaston hitting the balm bird with his bare hands with an arrow .

There’s a little that I thought, but…… we-, well, I guess it’s okay .

Gaston could do that much . Leave aside whether or not the act was meaningful .

After leaving the Gordon brothers, I returned to the inn and left my extra luggage with them before going to my room to rest .

After a day of relaxing and resting my body, I dragged my legs screaming with muscle pain, and decided to head to the Adventurers Support Center to meet up with the Gordon brothers .

The inside of the Support Center was jammed as usual .

The Gordon brothers were nowhere to be seen .

Maybe they haven’t redeemed it yet .

At any rate, I wanted to know if there was a rumor about one of the balm birds, so I decided to stand on the edge and see what was going on .

Suddenly, I saw a woman I’d seen somewhere before .

She wasn’t standing in line, but it seemed like she saw someone she knew and talking .

The woman wore light, thin leather-made armor and had light brown hair .

As I recall, she was a member of Maizen’s party .

She and the man seemed to be talking to each other, but the other didn’t seem to be a party member of Maizen’s .

When I was looking at them as being strangely friendly, they left, arm in arm, somewhere .

“…… H-, hey, wasn’t that girl one half of the idiot couple at Maizen’s place?”

I whisper and check with Mea .

“Hmmm…… Mea was wondering she was that too, but Isn’t it? . It’s just a little bit similar .

Mea makes binoculars with her hand and looks at the brown-haired woman’s back .

“Because, look, that’s the girl who was going out with the guy from Maizen’s party, right? See, Abel saw it too, didn’t you? I was just confessing right in front of you . ”

“I, I know that . Yeah, I’m sure you do . ”

I’d like to think it’s a fancy copy of someone else’s, too .

The armor design is exactly the same, but I’m sure it’s a common substitute . It must be .

A party of three, where the other two started dating and then immediately collapsed afterward, Maizen could collapse from heartache .

It’s almost certainly going to be a case of dissolution .

“Ah! Kyaaa! tho-, those two, they’re kissing each other, kiss . T-this is such a crowded place in the morning!”

…… I’d like to think it’s really just someone else’s resemblance .

But there isn’t much to say about the balm birds .

It shouldn’t be that often that that many are hunted at once .

Adventurers value information, so it wouldn’t be surprising if yesterday’s events were already rumored .

“There seems to be something strange about that forest lately . I heard that following the head-eating black-fiend, a strange magical beast was discovered . ”

“I suggest you avoid that place for a while . There’s something, maybe . The guy I went hunting yesterday was making a lot of noise about seeing some weird stuff……”

A pair of adventurers were discussing the forest with a mysterious look on their faces .

As I thought, it seems that strange things have been happening in that forest these days .

If I go there next time, I might as well measure and investigate the magic field .

I have a feeling that the lord’s investigation team is going to move again first .

“What’s a strange thing? Acting so important . ”

“Listen, don’t freak out . It’s a big, stupid, giant hand made of dirt . ”

………… eh, a hand of dirt?

“Oh, come on, you’re lying . Treating me like an idiot, how big is it?”

“I heard it was more than twice as tall as any other tree . There’s a possibility that it’s a magical beast that was sealed a long time ago, so the staff told them not to talk too much . If he’s serious, there will be a big commotion sooner or later . ”

“It sounds weird…… Maybe I should leave town and make my home base somewhere else . ”

I, I have an idea .

That’s the guy I used to totally freak Gordon out .

So that is a type that shouldn’t have been left there . I should have broken it down when I was done .

I shouldn’t have been happy about how well I did it .

He’s been spreading false rumors, and now he’s trying to throw a bunch of innocent people out of town .

Should I make some kind of excuse?

N, no, you’ll know it’s just a lump of dirt . It’s going to be okay .

In the end what happened to the balm bird…… As I was thinking about it, a big jute bag was brought in by a group of three people in their shoulder in the Support Center .

They’re Gaston and Gordon brother . All three of them are holding a large, bulging jute bag in their hands .

“Hey, hey, move, move!”

Gaston shouts in a somewhat bouncy voice and walks staggered, holding up the bag as if to show off to those around him .

The Gordon brothers, with their slightly twitchy faces, hurriedly follow him .

It seems that they were about to exchange their money .

It seems that those two were chosen to be the baggage handlers .
