Cheat Magician (Hazure Hantei) Chapter 50

Discovered

***---***

Good evening everyone, this is Kent.

Right now, I'm doing seiza in the chairman's room at Lastock.

"Now, Kent, give me a detailed explanation."

Yes, it's exposed, about Manon, and about Beatrice too.

The matter of looking into the bath time was forgiven with the daytime care of yesterday and today, and when I went into the room informing that I had arrived at Volzard with everyone, the chairman hugged me again.

Immediately after that, the chairman began to sniff.

"The smell is different on the right and left ...?"

I made a sharp sound and paled.

Until that time, I had no idea about the perfumes of Manon and Beatrice.

Both of them had different scents, but they had a sweet scent like a girl.

The chairman who has been hugging me cannot be unaware of the scent.

"What the heck is this? There are two girls in Volzard who welcome you?"

"No, this is ..."

"If they don't stick to you from both sides, you shouldn't have that much scent, right?"

The chairman has a big smile and a gentle tone, but her eyes aren't laughing at all, and her words have the coldness of absolute zero.

"Manon I got to know in a guild class and she helped Kobayashi and the others get used to the city ..."

"I see ... and what caused the other one to stick to you?"

"Be, Beatrice, the daughter of the lord of Volzard, had rot disease ... I treated her peritonitis from the cecum mentioned in Japan, it was to the point of endangering her life ..."

"Hmm ... Treatment you say, weren't you told that you should take responsibility for doing naughty things?"

"No, that's not it at all ... maybe not ..."

Ugh, I'm afraid of the chairman's eyes.

The room should be cold enough that the chairman is wrapped in a blanket, but the unpleasant sweat doesn't stop.

"While we were suffering here, Kent became friends with a pretty girl at Volzard."

"No, I wasn't playing around either ..."

"Well, you were certainly working on the rescue operation, but ... you didn't tell me a word about the girls, did you?"

"That ... I can only say that the distance between us has been shortened recently ..."

"Hey ... Then Kent was spending time with me while getting closer to another girl."

"No, Beatrice is the daughter of the lord, so I can't have wicked thoughts ..."

"Then, what about the other one?"

"Yeah, Kobayashi-san and Sakurai-san yelled at Manon ..."

"Are you imposing responsibility on Tomo-chan and At-chan?"

"No, that's not what I mean ... everything is my responsibility ..."

Isn't Erna's return a little late?

Normally, I think she would've already retunred, but only today I feel like she'll never come back.

"So ... what is Kent going to do?"

"What do you mean ...?"

"Who would you choose? No way, because it's a different world, let's make a harem ... you're not thinking that, right?"

"Do, do, do, don't be absurd, ha, harem or something, such a thing ..."

"You're thinking about it, right?"

"No ... that ... just a little ..."

"Hmm ... this is why boys ..."

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I got caught up in the moment, and I was frivolously growing my lascivious heart.

"Haa ..."

The chairman sighed again and got up from the bed she was sitting on.

Oh, it's finally time for execution.

"For the time being ... I will give you a suspended sentence."

"Yes ...?"

"Instead ..."

The chairman puts her arms around my back and hugs me tightly.

"Instead, report to them that I am doing something like this with Kent."

"Well ... that's a little ..."

The chairman kissed both my cheeks.

"If you're going to put it off, it could be a big deal when I get to Volzard."

"Ugu ... I understand ..."

"And ... I'll never lose ... Tell them ..."

"Yesh ..."

"Now, cast healing magic until Erna returns."

"Yes ..."

Since the chairman's weight was added, my legs hurt a lot, and I'm severely numb, but it would be a big deal to say that she's heavy, so I kept my cramped smile and cast healing magic.

After that, Erna came back, so I was finally released from the chairman, but the homework I was given was heavy.

[ Kent-sama ... Harem doesn't bear fruit in just one day ... ]

[ No, I can only think of a harem as a dream again ... ]

According to Fred, who has been scouting, the rescue of fifty people this time was a big miscalculation for Camilla.

That's a miscalculation, because a quarter of the 200 people summoned are gone.

What's interesting is that the knights' report isn't that they were attacked by a strange skeleton, but because they were attacked by a pack of orc mages.

An orc mage is an orc that uses primitive magic, and its strength is double that of a normal orc.

Perhaps the knights had a quarrel because they couldn't report that they were put to sleep by one skeleton and were taken out without helping the fifty slaves.

Even if you report that everyone has been killed and eaten, it is unlikely that Camilla will go to the site for verification, so even if you report a lie, there is no problem as long as you don't talk about it.

This time, Takayama, the Novice Hero, is also dead, but Camilla is not disappointed about it, but rather seems to be pleased to be able to get rid of the troublemaker.

Celia, who was taking care of Takayama, seems to be in the garrison, but she seems to be pushed into a small room for servants instead of a luxurious room.

According to Camilla, she might have her do another job ... but it's somehow unpleasant.

I also took a peek at the classmates remaining in Lastock, but there was a desperate atmosphere.

"I can't do it anymore ... I want to return to Japan ..."

"If even Takayama isn't coming back, even though he had that personality, he could use such amazing magic ..."

"I don't need a reward, so please let me go home now ..."

"No, Takayama is dead, so with Celia-chan ..."

"Stop it ... but I don't want to die as a virgin ..."

Listening to Camilla's story and the whispers of the boys, the predictions go in the wrong direction.

Is it better to have someone keep an eye on them so my bad expectations don't come true, and in such a case use force to intervene?

The best thing would be to rescue everyone quickly, but ... there are a lot of problems.

For the time being, let's go back to the boarding house and go to bed, I'm really tired.

Amanda-san and the others who get up early in the morning, seem to already be asleep, so I moved back to my room via shadow movement.

After returning to my home for the first time in three days, I feel calm.

The exquisite narrowness that you can reach the wall immediately if you reach out is good.

"Hmm ... tomorrow, I'll watch over everyone's registration and then go find some lizardmen ..."

[ Kent-sama, you forgot your homework. ]

Reinhardt's point makes me sick.

[ Gua ... that's right, I have to talk to Manon and Beatrice about the chairman ... then, how do I go about that ... ]

[ Buhahaha, if they complain, close their mouth with a kiss and tell them to follow you! That's all there is to it. ]

[ That's not the case ... Uuh, should I be prepared for a few slaps ... ]

[ By the way, Kent-sama, are you planning to increase the genus with lizardmen? ]

[ Yeah, I am planning that, is something wrong? ]

[ King, we're hard to find because we're lurking by the water. ]

[ Oh yeah ... I didn't think about that. ]

According to Zae, the lizardmen usually live mostly in the water, and on the day of the attack, they were hunting far with the rain on their side.

[ Hmm ... I can't beat them if I can't find them in the first place. ]

[ Kent-sama, the rest of your classmates are about 150 people, and if they ride on five carriages, then Zae and the others are enough. ]

[ Yes, that's right, it doesn't mean that only 25 people can ride in a carriage. ]

[ But if you do that, your guard may be weak. ]

If you have a total of eight between skeletons and undead lizardmen, you sohuld be able to counter a considerable number of monsters, but if small monsters such as kobolds and goblins come in the thousands, you may allow them to break through.

[ Thousands ... that number ... ]

[ Kent-sama, in the past, over tens of thousands of goblins have caused a stampede and caused great damage. ]

[ Yeah! Tens of thousands ... That number is really tough, isn't it? ]

[ But it's only goblins or kobolds that have such a large outbreak. ]

Reinhardt says that even if he faces tens of thousands of goblins, he will not lose, but my classmates will be attacked by the goblins that he hasn't defeated.

Even if powerful weapons are lined up, it feels like the enemy will invade through the gap.

[ Um ... then what should I do? ]

[ I wonder if we should line up weapons that are so powerful that there are no gaps, or increase the number of weapons that make small moves to fill the gaps. ]

[ If you're talking about Reinhradt, you'd recommend a weapon with a small range, right? ]

[ Absolutely, it's not enough to simply use the same weapons. ]

[ That means, should I make undead of small monsters like goblins or kobolds as genus? ]

[ That's right, then it's easy to collect, and if Kent-sama strengthens the part that lacks power, there will be no problem ... ]

[ I see ... It's a person who moves around quickly around Reinhardt and Zae ... Yeah, let's do that. ]

Goblins or Kobolds are easy to find once you enter the Devil's Forest, so you don't have to search for them, and you can find them in large numbers.

It may be good to create a corps that can be commanded by Reinhardt and the others.

It may be good to make a few more and place them like an laarm device in various places.

[ Good, let's make a corps of 50 monsters in total, 40 monsters divided up for Reinhardt and the others to move. ]

[ The plan has been decided, then Kent-sama, it's about time to take a rest. ]

[ Well, then wake me up as usual. ]

[ I understand. ]

As soon as you lie down in bed, you'll be drawn into the world of sleep, and the morning will come in no time.

When I was awakened by Reinhardt and opened the door of the room, a delicious smell drifted from downstairs.

"Good morning, Amanda-san."

"Ah, welcome back Kent, did you come back late yesterday?"

"Yes, I took everyone to the dormitory, and then I had to report or something, and it was a little late."

"Hmm ... what kind of report did you make ..."

Amanda-san is laughing with a grin.

Maybe she heard about Manon and Beatrice from a customer.

"Kent is such a smooth operator ..."

"Meline-san?"

"Hmm ... lewd, EroKent!"

"Guha ... Such a thing ... I wonder whether it's this or that ..."

Amanda-san and Meline-san are looking at me with warm eyes, and Meisa-chan's reproachful eyes are painful.

"Amanda-san, I'm heading out."

"Kent, what about dinner?"

"Maybe I'll be back, but I'm planning to move around a lot today ..."

"I see, well, there will always be something to eat, I'll prepare it when you return."

"Thank you very much. I appreciate it."

"Aa, take care of yourself."

"Yes, I'm going."

I have to report to Manon and Beatrice, but first of all, I have to get everyone registered and then distribute the living expenses for the time being.

When I go to the garrison's dormitory, the gatekeeper salutes me as usual, but this morning he has a grinning gaze.

Well, it's after yesterday's turmoil, so it can't be helped.

Donovan-san and Otto-san were already in the conference room I rented to complete the registration procedure.

"Good morning, Donovan-san, Otto-san, thank you for your time today."

"We're okay any time, do you want to start?"

"Yes, I'll get everyone together soon."

I went to the classmates who had already gathered and brought everyone into the conference room.

The five registered people are also present because there is information about shopping after this.

When everyone got together, Donovan-san went up to the stage and started talking.

"I'm Donovan, who plays the role of coordinator for the guild of Volzard, the first thing to say, don't forget to open your ears and listen carefully."

Donovan-san looked around at everyone, the classmates swallowed sharply and corrected their posture.

"You're useless as an immediate force, and even if we teach you a job, you may return to your original world by the time we can use you ... You're definitely a nuisance."

Some of my classmates glared at Donovan-san with rebellious eyes, but when he glared at them, the immediately looked down.

That's because the power, the stature, and the experience are too different.

"The reason Volzrd accepts such a nuisance is because Kent asked us."

This time everyone's gaze was directed at me ... Yeah, it's uncomfortable.

"You know since you were attacked by a swarm of lizardmen on your way here, but Kent's fighting power isn't normal. This time, five undead lizardmen have joined. To be honest, I wouldn't be able to win against him with the full force of Volzard."

Somehow, the way my classmates see me has changed.

It's like they're looking at a dangerous person.

"The other day, when a swarm of rock ogres stampeded towards Volzard, I was prepared to suffer considerable casualties, but as a result we didn't have anyone killed or even injured. Everything is thanks to Kent."

"No, no ... it was all done by Reinhardt and the others ..."

Somehow, I'm afraid for my back when I'm lifted up like this by Donovan-san.

"Kent is both a shield and a halberd for Volzard. With the Devil's Forest revitalized, Volzard can't afford to lose Kent. If you want to disturb order or security, I won't forgive you. I'll take your guild registration card and expel you out of the city. If you think you can live without an ID card or something to rely on, try it."

Perhaps the rebellious spirit is swiruling in the hearts of my classmates, but Donovan-san's words are completely correct, and we don't have the ability to go against them.

To be honest, I was worried that some people would have trouble because of the large number of people, unlike when it was just five, so I was relieved to have Donovan-san give them a warning.

"Kent, what do you have to say?"

"Yes, um ... First of all, about the rescue operation, but I was thinking of selecting members from everyone to help me, but I'm thinking about increasing the number of undead lizardmen in my genus and ending it all at once."

"Hey, wait a minute, what about our training?"

"Yeah, Yagi and the others trained as coachmen, but if we had the undead lizardmen pull them instead of horses, you wouldn't have to worry about breaks or replenishment, and you wouldn't have to operate them in the first place. And I think it's less dangerous."

"That may be true, but I trained for a while ..."

"Yeah, but while you're here, it's more convenient to be able to handle horses, and I think the range of work will expand."

"Then, can we continue training?"

"Yeah, if there are other applicants besides Kobayashi-san, I'll ask them to train."

"Yeah, I can't do horseback riding when I return to Japan, let's continue At-chan."

Indeed, considering that it is a horseback riding experience, it costs money in Japan and it takes time to go to school.

"Then, once you've registered, I'll be giving out 3,000 Helts of money to buy things like daily necessities for the time being."

"Wait a minute, you said yesterday that you would give out 5,000 Helts per person, and didn't you say that you gave out 15,000 Helts to Yagi and the others? Isn't it a bit unfair?"

I wonder what he's saying evne though it's not the money he earned himself.

"Yeah, but 3,000 Helts is okay, Manon and the others advised me, and I'll pay for your accommodiation and meals, so you should be able to make ends meet."

"Even so, one-fifth of Yagi and the others ..."

"If you want money, you can work on your own, and there are many jobs you can do."

Takayama was still saying something, but he couldn't fool Donovan-san, so he lined up quietly in the registration line.

Takayama got an E-rank card due to the strength of his magical power, and everyone else got an F-rank card.

Indeed, no matter how strong the magical power is, it is true that it will stop at E-rank.

So, even though he was the only person to get an E-rank card, Takayama started complaining again.

"Wait a minute, isn't it strange to be E-rank with as much magical power I have?"

"Even if the magical power is strong, if you enter the forest or dungeon without experience or ability, you will die."

Otto-san simply refused as usual.

"No, but if you have the magical power I have ..."

"The rank of the guild is not a decoration, the rank will not go up unless you have a track record, and if you leave a track record, your rank will go up even if you do not want it."

Ah, that's true, there's such a thing as suddenly being B-rank.

"Kokubu, what rank are you?"

"Well, I'm B ..."

"You're B, didn't you get judged as useless?"

"No, it's a malfunction of that crystal ball, or an irregular result."

"Damn, I see, I'll overtake you soon ..."

Somehow, he's trying to leave with the final lines of someone who is about to be killed, but I haven't distributed the living expenses yet, is that okay? Oh, he's back.

"Well, give me money ..."

"Yes, don't waste it."

"Uh, noisy, I know ..."

Wow, his face is bright red and he looks like a really bad kid.

After giving out money to everyone, I called out to Kondo, who I can count on.

"Kondo, I'm leaving everyone to you, the old and new duo will guide you."

"Okay, I'm sorry for making you take care of everyone."

"No, it's a time when everyone has to do what they can."

I have to go thank Donovan-san and Otto-san, and then go increase the number of my genus.
