CH 53

Tauro was released from prison.

The townspeople, adventurers, and guild staff were all happy to hear this.

However, they were all surprised to see how Tauro had changed.

The lovely figure that had been the guild’s mascot was nowhere to be seen and his body was thin, scarred, and weak.

Nei, for example, must have remembered the first time she met Tauro, because she hugged him with tears in her eyes.

“I’m back…”

Nei finally broke down in tears as she hugged Tauro in a faint voice.

“Welcome home, Tauro-kun…”

Nei sobbed.

The adventurer’s guild was outraged by the Viscount’s brutality and the commercial guild criticized him due to the actions of the Garfish Trading Company.

The city of Saïsi was in a sour mood.

The Viscount’s reputation had fallen to the ground, and Tauro was inundated with sympathy.

However, he was the lord of the city.

Outwardly, they were quiet about their resentment.

Tauro had been in hell for three months.

There was no limit to the violence. If he was hit ten times yesterday, he would be hit eleven times the next day.

Often no food was served and harassment of the popular boy by the guards escalated.

Sometimes the food was poisoned, though in small quantities.

But even though he knew it, he had no choice but to eat it, because he could not live without it.

The pain of the poison was so great that he almost had the idea of admitting to his unjustified sin to make it easier.

“Confirmed one of the conditions for activating the special skill [&%$#] <Person who endured all kinds of pain>. You have acquired [Status Abnormality Resistance] and [Status Abnormality Recovery].”

Tauro was saved by this “voice of the world” that he heard when he passed the second month of his life in prison.

Thanks to this ability, he was able to keep his mind strong.

He was resistant to everything: poison resistance, pain resistance, paralysis resistance, and so on.

It wasn’t completely okay, but compared to the first two months, the pain was hell to heaven.

Thus, Tauro was able to survive the three months of hell.

Tauro was able to heal his external wounds with potions and the magic of a healer.

But internal wounds were a different story.

The treatment required medicine and time.

The doctor told him he would have to stay in bed for the time being.

“I’m so happy to be able to sleep in a fluffy bed again.”

Nei cried when Tauro joked with her.

The branch manager, Leo said.

“If you can make a joke, then you’re okay.”

Tauro decided to stop talking about his self-depreciation in front of Nei.

Tauro was celebrating his 11th birthday that day.

He was finally feeling better and his skinny body was getting back to normal.

Then the voice of the world echoed in his mind.

“Confirmed one of the conditions for activating the special skill [&%$#] <Person who was cornered and revived from the verge of death> You have acquired [Super Recovery Regeneration].”

“I learned something awesome on my birthday…”

Tauro, wielding his sword alone in the guild’s courtyard, laughed bitterly.

Tauro’s health returned and he was able to return to adventuring, but for several months between his release and his return, there were no visits from the Viscount’s side.

Of course, there were no letters, either.

This angered Leo, the branch chief and he declared that he would not accept any requests from the lord for the time being.

Tauro was glad that Leo was angry for him, but he did not want the relationship to deteriorate.

Tauro himself had no intention of forgiving the Viscount, but he didn’t want them to hate each other.

“I think it might be time…”

Tauro was lost in his thoughts as something he had been thinking about for several months came to his mind.
