Episode 202 In the end (4),

we succeeded in re-entering the castle with difficulty. You must never sneak out of the castle again. That promise was a bonus.



Quang!

“Catch it!”

“One person escapes! Chase!”

“Don’t miss it!”

But what is this fuss about?

On the way back to the inn, I noticed that the streets were cluttered. It seemed like the arrest operation and chase were underway from early in the morning.

“If you don’t get out of the way, you’ll die...!”

However, I did consider it.

It was a reflection on why these damn incidents happened near me on my way back.

Pow!

“Gagging!”

“Boreoji....”

If you add one more thing, there is also this. How unlucky are these criminal children to come to where I am after all this distance?

Even though the sun was just about to set and I was the only person passing by.

omg. Or is this even a conspiracy? The world’s plan to trouble me with a crazy coincidence?!

“Off.”

Is that possible?

I quickly dismissed the overinterpretation and made a rough guess as to what kind of criminal this guy was.

First of all, judging from the fact that the security forces caught up quickly and the time frame, it seems like the security forces planned and launched a surprise operation.

“you are...!”

“Take it.”

“Thank you for your help in arresting the devil worshiper!”

...But that doesn’t mean he’s a devil follower.

Was a large-scale sweep operation carried out because of the previous incident, which led to the closure of the checkpoint? Even though it’s only been a few days, I found it well.

“Ugh.”

In any case, they are all subject to arrest.

I handed over the person I had subdued to the guards. Perhaps because he was hit in the solar plexus and slapped on the floor, he groaned profusely.

“Ah, thank you for your help.”

“Damn the rain...!”

“Stay still!”

But no one cared about him. Rather, some guards used additional violence against those who were subdued.

It wasn’t a pretty scene. But that doesn’t mean I have the will or the right to stop you.

“Shit! “If there had been envy... about you!”

“...?”

But somehow it seems like the name I killed comes up.

I narrowed my eyes as I watched the captured devil worshiper.

There’s no need to catch them again and interrogate them now... but since they’re shouting out Sigi’s name, they must be Sigi’s followers. But it’s already dead. Is it worth following?

“shut up!”

Pow!

“Oops!”

I thought about why Sigi’s followers were here and why they were behaving so poorly like their ex-lover, and then I shook my head.

I decided that it would be meaningless to think about why devil worshipers are here because they are like cockroaches.

“Let’s get some sleep....”

I’m a bit sleepy because I couldn’t sleep for a few hours because of the early morning sparring. I climbed back up to the inn.

bang!

“Catch it!”

...and came back down. I guess it’s right that the city decided to search because of what happened last time. There really is no stopping the noise everywhere.

* * *

The Inquisitor returned from his early morning prayers and heard an amazing story.

“Sweeping... you mean?”

“Yes, the operation has just concluded. “Those arrested have now been moved to the interrogation room.”

All the evil seeds hiding in the city have been captured. It was good, but somewhat surprising news.

First, she wiped away the sweat with the towel around her neck. Rattling. Meanwhile, her other hand pulls the chair back and touches her buttocks.

“If I had known, I would have helped too.”

If I had known how to subdue the evil hordes, I would have put off praying for a while. The Inquisitor felt some regret at that fact.

“Who doesn’t understand the Inquisitor’s feelings? But isn’t it true that you don’t need a sledgehammer to crack a peanut? “I guess they didn’t send a request for cooperation because they were clearly enough.”

Several batteries were piled on another table.

It was quite surprising considering that I left the workshop at 7 o’clock yesterday and had put all the horsepower into the batteries I had made up to that point.

When was it made? Even considering I’m a little late today, I don’t have time to make it.

...Did he stay up all night?

“Whoa.”

Compared to what I’ve seen over the past few days, the appearance of movement shows a significant sense of fatigue.

I put horsepower into the battery and watched what the meister was making. It was in a reagent bottle so I couldn’t tell what was what. Are you doing scientific research?

“I’m dying...”

Well... you do it if you want to do it.

I sat on the couch watching Meister groan. If you suddenly feel a distant gaze, it is from the Meister.

“I’m sleepy and hungry.”

He spoke in a very dry and plain tone, perhaps even condescending.

“I’m hungry.”

Thanks to this, I couldn’t understand what he said at once.

After all, how can you immediately match whining like a child with a subject that often appears in comics as a ‘gorgeous noble character who is obsessed with etiquette and is obsessive about manners?’ The brain refuses to understand right away.

The same goes for what is said there.

I know you’re hungry, so what should I do? Before the concept, you are not even close to me... We are not meant to have this kind of conversation...

“Did you give up your intelligence using fatigue as an excuse?”

I glared at him with a feeling that was half a step behind my contempt. Although I did him favors a few times, it wasn’t at the level of being an errand boy.

“It’s not that tidy, so get rid of those stares.”

And Meister knows that too. He didn’t whine anymore.

“Let’s make a deal.”

Instead, they suggested something different. “Since you said you were an adventurer, would the word ‘request’ be more appropriate?” The subsequent words are neat, as if this was assumed from the beginning.

“detail.”

“Delivery of goods.”

This was my favorite type of side quest. So, in the sense that it is peaceful, small, and simple.

“I believe they won’t reject you for something trivial. “They say that only dirty adventurers who only care about their own self-interest take on missions, but I don’t think someone like you would do that.”

The meister even took care of the pride of my concept.

By gently scraping the rejection but not saying it out loud, we have eliminated any way to come out with a strong ‘What should we do?’

“...Medicine is water.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“Tell me about the goods.”

Thanks to this, I ended up becoming a petty person when I refused. I nervously chased after him—inwardly, I was happy about the small side quest.

“First, deliver those finished products to each client. “That’s the first one.”

However, the words ‘delivery of goods’ seemed to contain a lot of things, and Meister’s words had the nuance of being subtly long.

“Every time we deliver a finished product, the clients will pay the balance. Receive the money and buy the specified ingredients. “That’s the second one.”

“Is there more?”

“There are some ingredients that require secondary processing. Hand over the materials to the relevant workshop and entrust the processing request. “That’s the third.”

The fourth step was to procure the remaining ingredients from me, the Meister concluded.

It was simple, but I had a feeling that I would have to go back and forth a lot.

“Oh, I should include this too. Deliver this bottle and letter to the castle. Just give my name to the gatekeeper and he will take care of it. Since it is not a commissioned product, no payment will be made. All you have to do is pass it on.”

hmm. I should correct this by saying it is not a hunch, but a certainty.

“For your information, I want you to do everything within the morning hours. “I can’t research the equipment right now due to a backlog of work, but I think I’ll have some free time in the afternoon.”

There’s even a time limit.

I didn’t plan on putting it off, so there is a time limit, but I think it’s really efficient to use mana. I’m even thinking about the fact that I won’t be able to research equipment if I stay out for too long.

“amount.”

“hmm. 100,000....”

100,000?

“...200,000 gal.”

The meister changed his words when he saw me looking down at him. It may seem like a very small amount compared to the requests that have been resolved so far, but if you look at it closely, it really isn’t.

No, maybe it’s a bit much?

From what I remember, I had a request for sewer cleaning in the forties or fifties.

A request to catch a demon at the risk of one’s life is like that, but a simple delivery request of 200,000 isn’t bad. maybe.

“Instead, if the item is damaged, delivered incorrectly, or lost during delivery, you will be compensated.”

“That won’t happen.”

“Then it’s fine for me.”

After saying that, Meister added his last words.

“Buy some porridge from the inn you’re staying at when you come.”

Yes, I was hungry. It was worth ordering.
