Chapter s-29: Side 29 - Offer

S29 Offer

「Thank you for all your help」

We lower our head to Basgas-san.

We escaped from the Elro Great Labyrinth, and we lodged in Basgas-san's base for one night.

And, it's decided that we will leave immediately to the Elf Village in the morning of the next day.

We are parting with Basgas-san here.

「Ah」

Basgas-san says so and nods.

「However, is it really okay for me to take all of the materials of the Earth Dragon? It's a fortune if you sell it, you know?」

「Yes. This is a hurry trip, so we can't take it. Please consider it as reward for helping us」

「Then, I will take it without reservation」

Basgas-san smiles broadly.

「Basgas-san. If」

「Lad, I'm a humble guide」

Basgas-san says so interrupting my words.

It was the answer to the words that I was going to say.

Basgas-san is an experienced warrior.

I was able to understand it enough in the Elro Great Labyrinth.

In addition, he also has excellent judgment that comes from his experiences.

To be honest, I want this person to come along with us.

But, Basgas-san's word denied it.

「As for the guide, guiding is the work. Even more, I'm already retired. There's no place for an old man to butt in any further」

Basgas-san who says so and laughs.

But, he stops the laughter immediately, and begins to talk with a serious face this time.

「Lad. Although this is my intuition, I think that a huge incident will occur in the near future. There's no grounds, but I always have an anxiety that can't be cleared for these past few years. The riot that Lad got involved might be the harbinger」

From what I heard so far, I don't understand the meaning of such a skill.

It's only a disadvantage to lose the skills.

Even if the skills can be acquired back if a person trains again, the time taken until then will not return, and if there's the paid skill points, it's wasted.

It's like throwing away the thing that you accumulate until then purposely.

「In other words, it's transferred as power to the Administrator」

「Ah」

I see.

In other words, the power that's cultivated by the people is offered to the Administrator.

That's the essence of the 「Skill Erasure」 skill.

「Come to think of it, Sensei have erased Yuugo's skills once」

「Yes, but that's something like a trick. Erase the others' skills instead of paying a big compensation. Although I say it because it's now, when I activate it, some of my skills are lost, and I slept for many days after that. Because it's a dangerous method that both me and the opponent can die, I don't want to use it again」

「I see」

「I thought that it was the best at that time. If the skills are lost, I can remonstrate Yuugo who became arrogant. I believed so. Even though the important one is to regain his own mind as a person properly after that, I have neglected it. And, the result is this. I'm disqualified as a teacher」

「It's not Sensei's fault」

Although I thought that it's an unskillful comfort, I can only say that.

The bad one is Yuugo who actually took the action.

「Thank you. But, this is the distinction as the teacher. It's the last education that Sensei can do to the former student who's on the wrong path」

Sensei's eyes that filled with dark determination.

I was not able to say anything to it.

「And, what's the second one?」

I change the topic.

「I don't know the second one well. Something like offering the skills to reach the God」

「That's like the words of the religion」

「Yeah」

The clergy who shouts in the town.

I wanted to get away from this place that has a dark atmosphere as soon as possible.
