CH 82

Chapter 82 The protagonist of comedy and tragedy

TL Corner

I'm back... and my brother ALS suddenly got worsen so I resign to take care of him now. I'll try to update more soon. Thanks for your support. m(_ _)m

What is this creature in front of me?

What is this? Is this creature really "human" in the first place?

I’m Clair Lumarl. In front of me, stands the H rank adventurer that I know little to nothing about him, Kitsune-sama.

There is a letter from my sister, a receptionist at a guild, Miniera

The news said that an interesting adventurer has come and informed me of his topic.

It says “He brightened the guild atmosphere”

It says “He’s a bit weird but funny”

It says “Since he came, a senior who is usually indifferent became expressive.”

It says “He brings all kinds of trouble”

It says “His smile is a little bit scary”

As far as I'm concerned, I knew he was a strange boy.

I thought he was a gentle and funny person.

But the boy in front of me is not such a gentle and funny person. I doubt whether he is a human being or not, but my sense say otherwise.

His face look younger than me

He is a boy with a pretty face if you say so, but if you look at him now, his smile is not scary at all.

And, of course, there was nothing wrong with that, even though I asked Kitsune-sama to take care of Duke Orba, who was much more powerful than me. But to kill without leaving a corpse while smiling is a little bit ....

And most of all、

[Yeah, this is good.. Clair-chan It already end]

With such ease, I feel like I finished my homework. It's not that easy to kill people. No matter how bad he is, killing people is a serious crime.

Does this child even feel burdened after the murder?

In fact, even Reis the killer under Duke Orba still has some sense of good or evil.

But He knew that murder was evil, and he still killing people for his own pleasure.

But this kid has no consciousness of a killer. I can't even begin to feel his guilt of killing someone. Is there such a human being? No, Is it even exist?

[Clair-chan? Your face is a bit pale. Are you okay? Look, Duke Orba is dead. The bad guy is gone so be more cheerful !!]

[Eh! Aa Y... Yes]

[Well, I don't know if you can be happy that someone's dead. I’m sorry]

It seems there is a feeling that one person has died

I can’t find any word to say to him, but I don’t care

My sister is this gentle and funny person you talk about ? I can’t think of him as a kind and gentle person no matter what.

From my point of view, this child is ... a grim reaper or the malice itself.　

[Yeah, well then, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll tell you one thing. Make sure that no harm can reach Nico-chan okay? Ahh, me too of course]

[Y... Yes]

Even if you don't say it, who is going to be involved with the existence like you. At least I don't want to get involved with this kid. If the damage is done to him, I will definitely be involved with him in the future. It's the same for Nico Arcos and her father. No matter what it takes, I’ll make sure that no harm can reach them.

Not for others but for myself　

[Yeah, I killed the Duke, and Clair-chan cleaned up.I like it because we divide the role clearly. Well, I’ll go to where Leila-chan is now. Let’s go Rishe-chan]

[Oh, Let’s go.]

He said so, and left the room, passing me by. And then, for some reason, the chills enveloped my body. Against him, my heart was surely terrified

The killer Reis was called God of Death. I used to think that It’s an overstatement, but now I take it back.

[Then. I’ll leave the clean-up to you okay? Clair-chan. I'm cheering for you to turn this city into a rich and healthy city.]

He looked back and hid a laugh, then said so with a smile like a naive boy. I might have thought that he was cute a little while ago.

But, to me now ... the smile seemed to be a bit creepy now.

----------

[Ah ♪ Kitsune-kuuuuun ♡]

[Leila-chan, Did you help Nico-chan father?]

[Of course! Look, He’s rolling over there.]

[What ! Why did you tie him up like that]

Not too long after we separated, Leila-chan seems to get along with Nico-chan quite well. They’re holding hands together with a nice atmosphere.

But the scene of Nico-chan father rolling around like that is quite disturbing. Did you just bring him here like that? Well, It would be nice to release him soon.

For now, I release the miasma to broke the restraint. Yup, This is quite a convenient skill.　

[Nee..Kitsune, What are you going to do now? There's also a goblin king …...]

[Yeah, well Let’s keep the carriage and go into the town. If it’s troublesome then, let’s just feed them all to Leila-chan.]

[That’s rude alright Kitsune-kun]

Well, at least Nico-chan’s papa is fine. I’ll just carry him using miasma then. The weight that can be lifted by the miasma is corresponding to my strength. With my strength right now. I can lift an adult up just fine.

I think that duke Orba was a powerful wizard. Killing him should give me some experience. right? Well, I don't know if killing a human gives me some experience or not.

I walk away and check my status.

It’s been a long time. Apparently, duke Orba's level was quite high. It seems that he only has a strength as a wizard but nothing on battle experience. He can only commands the army, isn’t it?

But my resistance isn’t grow at all. Maybe, It’s harder to grow as my level increases. My resistance status is in the realm of A rank, isn’t it? If I’m not wrong, the hero's strength is around 8740 right. Well, he’s stronger than me at that time. Maybe, It because he’s more talented than me.

But now I can receive his attack freely. Reis has 7820 strength after all.

Well, attack power doesn’t only rely on strength. Agility and Skill also have an effect on attack power too. So we can't just measure it using number. Now, I can withstand almost everything with my resistance.

[Isn’t it quiet around here? We have a goblin king around here right? But it's strange that I can't hear the sound of battle at all.]

[Yes, that’s right]

[Unnn…. Unn? Kitsune-kun. There’s human coming here.]

[Hmm? You’re right.]

I can see a young red-hair man coming here from the entrance. With his hollow expression and a broken sword. He looks like a new adventurer since almost all of his equipment is new. What’s wrong with the Goblin King here?

Then, the young man notice us, and began to look at each one of us in turn.

Starting from me

Next, Nico-chan and her papa

Then, Rishi-chan

The last one is Leila-chan

As he sees Leila-chan, he freezes and coming this way wobbly.

We’re waiting for him in silence.

He grabbed Leila’s collar. And then...

[W.. Why did you still here in the city WHY!!!!!!!!!!!]

He shouted at Leila in rage.

[Hmmmmm, I have no idea what you're talking about. Have we ever met? I'm sorry if I have ever met you! I don't remember you at all♪]

[Don’t mess with me! You Leila Vermillion, isn’t it? the C rank adventurer!!]

[Yup, then?]

[Why didn't you join the fight against the Goblin King? If you were there, you could have killed the Goblin King easily!!!]

Apparently, he knows about Leila. Only the C rank adventurer Leila It seems.

From his words, look like he fought with the Goblin King. Then someone he know should have died in the raid huh? But he doesn't think it's acceptable for someone as powerful as Leila-chan to be in the city.

[haaa yare yare I can I have a moment?]

[W What is it ?]

I spoke to him as he grabbed Leila collar, then he turns to me. Don't let the blood get all over your head, young boy.

Let’s start with an introduction then.

[I’m Kitsune. Leila-chan party leader. Rank H adventurer are you clear?]

[If you are leader, then why didn't you try to fight the city crisis ! If you were here, they might not have died!!]

[I'll ask you first. Where’s the Goblin King?]

[I don’t know but...When I woke up, everything but me were dead. Monsters and adventurers.]

So that's why he survived. I mean, it looks like you go through a lot. I can only say that much. If I were to tell you something, I would get beaten. So I won’t. Well, it doesn't work even if you hit me though.

[If you guys were there ….!!]

For him, the dead adventurers were his precious comrades. Or was it simply that he didn't want his colleagues to die?

Well, I don't care about that, I don't like talking about this stuff. I mean, we didn't even care what this city was going to be like. Protecting Nico-chan was our priority. I want you to forgive me because I have to set things straight with duke Orba.

[I don't want to be told that. It's not like they're coming back to life again anyway.]

[Y..You!!!!!]

[If we were indeed on our way,I don't think we will be able to defeat the Goblin King right away. But that's what I'm saying. It’s our freedom to choose whether we want to fight or not. You know? You can't blame me for running away.You know that well, right? Me and the dead adventurer are also the adventurer too.]

A young man pulls his hand away from Leila and grabs my shirt. Either way, I don't have anything to do with it, and I don't deserve to be blamed.

Fight with the demon beast is not a play you know?

[uhhhgu!! But!!!]

[You survived because you had someone to protect you, and you were lucky. The other adventurers died because you dragged them down, they have bad luck. You are now angry and suffering BECAUSE---]

That's what I'm saying. I poke the middle of his chest lightly with my fingertips

[----BECAUSE YOU ARE WEAK AND RECKLESS]

I looked at him in the eye and said so
