Chapter 408 – Clans and Missions (8)

“Therefore.”

The second grader raised his chin and boasted.

“It is safe to say that the usefulness of this body has been proven, right?”

“…..OK.”

My confident face was very hateful, but the words I said were the words I said. The guy decided to join the next dungeon.

“Please take good care of me… “

“Well.”

Lenny seemed to be eager to do something unreasonable. Surprisingly, Yuri. It used to attack like that, but now it’s quiet.

“…”

This guy, while pretending not to, secretly glances at the middle 2 bottle, but the problem is that it is in the pocket of the middle 2 bottle. Trying to pickpocket?!

I interrupted and said to prevent Yuri from doing useless things.

“What happened? Your equipment looks useful, so let’s go together next time we get a quest.”

“Oh oh…! But next time, when do you mean?”

“I don’t know exactly… It won’t take a few days.”

Listening to Rize’s words, the guild seemed to be quite excited. What is politics really?

“Anyway, since I checked everything, let’s break up here for now.”

It’s already evening. In the end, I ended up watching the game in the arena all afternoon. It didn’t matter anyway, since I didn’t have much to do until the quest request came.

“I get it.”

The second bottle nodded his head obediently. I’m surprised I thought you would say something shameless like before.

“Then I must prepare myself. But if you miss me again…”

“What is ‘this time again’? I never promised to do anything with you in the first place.”

“That’s what it says!”

Middle 2 bottle kicked his tongue.

“Tsk. I got it anyway So, let’s go back today. Make sure your partner has a good night.”

“… Yes, you too.”

The second grader coolly turned around, and we parted ways and returned to the mansion.

Dinner time.

The holy sword was staring at the plate in front of it.

“…”

Silence flows. No one thought to play tableware first.

After the Holy Sword normalized her senses, subtle tension flowed at every mealtime. To be precise, Rebecca’s nervousness was also contagious to us.

Rebecca was staring at the holy sword, and the holy sword raised a fork while everyone’s eyes were focused on it.

-Cook.

He cooked and poked the carrots on the black plate with a fork, and threw them right under the table… Oh my God. Did that guy learn to be picky eating?!

“Holy Sword. No, Holy Sword!”

“Eek…”

Niel was frightened by the side and dried the holy sword, and the holy sword grumbled.

“Does this taste weird? The texture is too soft to chew on, and the smell is strange.”

All eyes turned to Rebecca this time. Rebecca looked as if she had been punched in the stomach with her fist.

Niniel was also taken back for a moment, but he put on a stern face.

“Holy Sword-nim, you can’t! Rebecca worked hard to prepare, but it’s not polite to say that. And!”

“And?”

“If you eat what you want to eat, ah, the baby won’t come.”

“Why?”

“Well, that’s because to become a baby parent, first of all, it’s important to have a strong body. If you pick out what you don’t like to eat, you won’t be strong!”

What a strong body. That guy is a knife in the first place, so will that logic work?

However, the Holy Sword did not object. What did the two of them talk about while I was away, so they listened to me so well?

The holy sword pouted out his lips and nibbled at his carrot his, then put the smallest piece in his mouth and mumbled.

“…”

Again flowing silence and concentration.

-Gulp.

“Wow.”

Fortunately, the holy sword only frowned, and did not spit it out. Only then did we raise the tableware with a sigh.

Listening to the stories over there makes me feel like I’m going to lose my mind.

“Therefore.”

We continued by briefly telling Rebecca and Niel about what had happened.

“It’s really strange. Why do they act like they have no back?”

The monsters that were being pulverized like that in the arena? Even though supply is blocked, assets are used like water.

“Isn’t it one of the two?”

Ariel muted.

“Either he’s crazy, or he has other supplies.”

“Hmm…”

Another supply. Is there a way to procure monsters in places other than dungeons? How?

“Ah.”

Yuri said as if he remembered something.

“It’s not like there aren’t dungeons outside the city.”

“Yes?”

“Where we used to go. I do not remember?”

“If you’ve been to a place before…”

Skull Dungeon, Goblin Dungeon, Slime Dungeon. Outside the West Keep, scattered throughout the mountains, there are so-called Outer Dungeons.

“Yeah, I remember. I remember what we did in front of the goblin dungeon… Ok.”

I stumbled and got my foot stepped on. At that time, hesitating while trying to notice me was fresh, but now I don’t know how it became so violent.

Ariel fingered his chin.

“It’s not impossible… But it’s not realistic.”

“Why?”

“When passing through the city gates, the guards inspect the goods. Bringing monsters into the city? There’s no way the guards would allow that. It gave me quite a headache.”

“Troublesome?”

“Because I once outsourced slime research.”

“Aha.”

Come to think of it, Ariel had had magicians make curative slime while giving money to the wizards before she to find a cure for Niel. The result was weak slime.

Anyway, bringing in monsters from outside the city is nonsense. However, Yuri again pointed out a blind spot.

“I heard you side with the guards and the arena? Rize did that.”

Indeed. As Yuri said.

If the management bureau in charge of the guards went through some kind of secret agreement with the arena, it wouldn’t be impossible to bring in monsters from outside the city.

But… This time I shook my head.

“Even if it is brought in, there are other problems.”

“Any other problem?”

Another pair of boots. That’s the problem with the monsters in the outer dungeon itself.

“Hmm…What should I say?”

A monster in the dungeon outside. It was a long time ago, but I remember it vividly.

“They are lame. Maybe that’s why it’s so easy to capture alive. But there are so many problems. It has no charm.”

“Charm?”

Everyone tilted their heads in puzzlement. If it was middle school 2, I would have understood right away.

“Wouldn’t it be fun to bring goblins and other goblins to fight in such a big arena? Outside dungeons don’t even have large monsters like worms or drakes.”

If even goblins were to come out in droves, it would be nice to see it that way. The main content of the arena is a fight between large monsters like drakes, as the two of them liked.

The miscellaneous mobs in the external dungeon have an advantage in that they are easy to control, but that’s all. It is also said that durability is a mess.

There was silence again at my words. Everyone’s expression is lost in thought.

I decided to roughly finish it.

“Well, we have to think about it because there is no answer. For now, let’s do what the guild tells us to do well.”

Ariel nodded her head and said.

“I said we had to find evidence related to ants in the arena. I’ll try to find a way to collect the evidence.”

“Well. Please.”

Ariel stared at me at my answer.

“…Thank you? Please help me?”

“…”

I don’t know why you’re staring at me like this. Do you have something to say?

“Then I’ll go back to my room for now.”

“Oh, sister, wait.”

After the meal, Yuri grabbed Lenny as he was about to return to his room.

“I have something to tell you two.”

As I was about to leave the restaurant, I called Yuri.

“Is it Yuri?”

“Yes?”

A glass of wine that was lifted with a meaningful smile.

I don’t know if you remember If you want to get what you want back, you’ll need to prepare properly today. Last time I messed around with the maid play. I will do it right today.

“…”

Yuri bit her lip and glared at me. Indeed, Mr. Yuri, even this much is enough to notice.

At this time, if she had pretended not to know, she would have just moved on. I don’t know if you know that sometimes that notice catches your ankle.

“Hey, that’s it!”

Yuri dragged Lenny and went outside.

“…I guess I’ll have to go up, too.”

Ariel, Niel, and the Holy Sword went up together.

That’s how I was left in the restaurant, and Rebecca looked at me blankly.

“Eugene. I just need to get rid of it.”

“Okay.”

“… Aren’t you going back to your room?”

Did this guy forget what I said on my way out this morning?

“Are you ready for what I said earlier?”

Rebecca narrowed her eyes slightly. This guy, he’s putting a very annoying mark on her face her.

“If you are in the room, I was going to bring it to you, but… Follow me.”

I follow Rebecca to the kitchen, and her little maids slip away like the ebb tide.

“…”

In the kitchen, Rebecca started rummaging through what looked like a food warehouse.

Rebecca, what the hell did she say about me, and her maids were scattered in such a panic.

Like a cheeky guy. Someday, I’ll have to bully you for this.

Rebecca didn’t take long before she gave me everything I asked for.

Swap wine, empty bottles and more…

Alright, now just change the contents like this and you’re done. Guy Yuri, you can really tease him.

Rebecca complained that what I was doing was amazing.

“What are you trying to do?”

“Well? It’s personal. You don’t need to know.”

“…”

Was my cutting word too harsh? Rebecca’s gaze at me is unusual. She doesn’t seem to like it…

Bang!

“?!”

A sound so loud that the kitchen rang. Suddenly, Rebecca banged her head against the wall.

“Uh, what, what?! What’s the matter?!”

“…There were bugs.”

“What…?”

I saw where Rebecca had hit her head and on her forehead, but there were no signs of bugs or anything.

“No, I can’t see anything.”

“There was.”

“…”

“…”

What’s wrong with this guy? Have you finally gone mad? Or are you threatening to tease me in the morning?

“…”

More like self-harm than threat.

But Rebecca kept her mouth shut, as if she would never open her mouth.

“Um, yes. If you are, so be it. Oh yeah. Give this to Yuri.”

Rebecca’s gaze was somehow unusual, so I handed a note to Yuri and left her kitchen.

-Thump, thump.

Somehow, there was a strange echo coming from behind.
