Chapter 230 – Observer

My name is Michael .

I’m the president of the Goroun Company .

Though some would say that I’m sitting in one of the highest positions, recently, I feel like I’m still too immature . I can’t bring myself to act like someone important .

Maa, for the sake of my subordinates, I’ll act as someone superior to some degree… .

By the way, on all the businesses here, Big Roof Shashaato is the one doing the best .

As a result… . things have been difficult for me .

Most of the establishments around it are owned by the merchant’s guild so I thought the buyout will be as simple as snapping a finger but some of the landowners strongly resisted .

Especially that one who’s also a merchant in this city .

He sensed that I am going to buy all the plot of land surrounding the main intersection so he bought some himself .

I don’t know if his goal is to obstruct me or to sell them at the higher price but… .

This poor soul didn’t seem to hear the news about the warning of demon king-sama and his four heavenly kings .

If it was the former me, I’ll use several underhanded methods… .

However, I may offend village chief if I do something dirty .

In short, I must obtain it in a public way .

…

I think it’s still too early to use the power of gold coins .

I’ll just inform him of the warning . You might not be able to take the consequence if you’re too greedy .

My door was knocked .

This is unusual .

Majority of my business deals can be handled by my secretary . He usually informs me about them when I leave my office .

That means there must be an issue that my secretary can’t handle himself .

「Excuse me . President, I’m a little unsure about this so… . I think it would be safer if I inform you . 」

My secretary is 10 years older than me and his judgment had helped me a number of times already .

I’m sure it will be better to hear it .

「Our headquarters was visited by a certain guest and he was looking for someone named Michael . 」

「Hnn? Could that person be asking for me?」

「That might be so but he is looking for “Michael-san” . 」

「I see . Is he a noble?」

「Not sure . Though his clothes aren’t very noble-like, it is made with expensive fabric in addition, he has a guard who seems to be an adventurer . No one’s familiar with his face and he did not have an appointment so I think he’s more likely not a noble . 」

Is that so?

A typical noble would usually send a message informing us that he’ll be coming .

「Then, what’s wrong?」

「The receptionist did not find the employee named Michael so he asked the guest to leave . 」

「I see . 」

…… .

Areh?

What is this sudden bad feeling?

「S-so, what’s… the problem?」

「The guest left but entrusted the receptionist with a letter for “Michael-san” . 」

The secretary took out the letter .

「He seems very convinced that Michael is working in our company . The receptionist noticed that the president’s name is Michael so he informed me about it thinking that it was an emergency . 」

「Haa, haaaaaaaa…… . 」

I do not want to see it .

Something inside me is urging me not to read it .

However, it might be too late if I don’t act now .

I breathe deeply .

I’ll have to steel myself .

「By the way, the guest introduced himself as Hiraku . 」

「SAY THAT IN THE BEGINNINGGGGGGGGG!」

I snatched the letter from my secretary and read it .

(Opening omitted)

Michael-sama of Goroun Company .

We are the Big Tree Village .

Village chief is at Shashaato City so we thank you in advance .

(Latter part omitted)

P . S .

Look up .

NNOOOOOOOOOO!

Village chief has come to the city!

Damn it!

Of course he will! He opened a store so he will surely come to check it out!

Why haven’t I thought of that!

No no, this is not the time for regret .

Let’s think about what happened first……

He was turned away at my door!

Could he be thinking that I pretended to be out?

This is bad! This is bad! This is bad!

Even if village chief doesn’t mind it, the people around him will surely do .

Like Lulushi-sama, Tier-sama, Fraurem-sama, Hakuren-sama… .

… . . I’m dead .

Really dead .

I can’t possibly say that everything happened because I haven’t seen the letter yet… . and I can’t even run away .

Aahhh… .

No, we can still salvage the situation .

If I manage to get in touch with village chief, we can probably forget about this matter .

This is our only hope .

「The person who spoke with village chief… . . I mean Hiraku-sama, ask him about the clothes he’s wearing . Also, call Maron and Milford at once! 」

I order my secretary and prepare myself to move out .

… . .

Hnn?

That reminds me, there’s a P . S . in the letter .

Look up?

Is it some sort of code?

Should I literally look up?

I tried to do so and look up at the ceiling .

……

Lulushi-sama’s there .

「Hellooww 」

When our eyes met, Lulushi-sama waved her hand and said hello .

However, I wasn’t able to say anything in return . I froze that moment and it took me a while before I was able to move again .

My name is Milford .

I was a reckless adventurer when I was young .

But thanks to my recklessness, I became famous to the point that nobles are hiring me to be their guards .

In a certain way, you can say that I reached the best ending an adventurer can have .

Being a noble’s guard pays well but boring .

It’s because there are only a few who would go against a noble .

Especially for the nobles in the demon king’s kingdom, nobles are strong themselves .

I’m not sure if it is because of their physical power or by magic but what I know is that they don’t even need guards to protect them .

They are not even using me as military power . They are satisfied by using me as some sort of decoration .

Maa, that was something I can’t endure .

I stopped being a noble’s guard and looked for a new thing to do .

I found Goroun Company .

On my first mission, I thought that it will be just like any other caravan guarding mission that will earn me some travel expenses but I was wrong .

The carriage we were guarding headed straight and crossed the iron forest .

Moreover, our destination is the gate-keeper dragon’s nest .

This is a recklessness that I won’t do even during my adventurer days .

I laughed at myself .

Even so, I’m happy .

Working as a guard in a great company of this city is hard .

There are a lot of people who have hidden objectives .

It is easier to deal with an assassin .

They are easier to understand .

The hardest to deal with are women .

They’ll pretend to make advances to you…fortunately, this company has a really great policy .

Anyway, since they hired me I’ll just take care of whoever comes .

By the way, there’s this woman who’s already standing behind me before I know it .

Who is she?

An acquaintance of the president?

She looks like an angel… . however, she gives off this unusual atmosphere that is different from the other angels I’ve met .

I suddenly remember an angel when I was still adventuring . It is said that no matter what happens, do not go against her .

The angel of annihilation… .

Tier?

Surely .

Yeah right .

Hahaha .

Areh?

Why am I sleeping?

Ehto… .

My name is… . what is it?

I can’t recall .

What’s my name?

How could I have forgotten it… . ehto .

Right .

I’m okay now .

I recalled my name .

However, I shouldn’t say it out now .

Right now, I am called Eight .

I’m a guard .

Not the type that the public can see .

A guard that protects someone from the shadow .

Therefore, I can’t reveal my name .

Various information might leak out if my name is revealed .

It might even influence the one I’m guarding badly .

Therefore, my name is thoroughly concealed .

I am that kind of guard… .

So, why did I sleep in such a place?

I’m currently at a beam that is supporting the roof of a building called Big Roof Shashaato .

I usually climb this place in order to oversee this place better… .

But I don’t remember doing so earlier, did I sleepwalk?

Me?

Looking around, I see my partner sleeping too .

The others too?

Why?

Were we taken here by magic?

I checked my things and nothing was stolen .

In other words…

I panic and check our guarding targets below .

Our guarding targets is a couple called Marcos and Paula which has been dispatched by a village somewhere .

In addition, if possible, we need to guard the other employees as well as the facility .

I thought that this mission was a mistake when we started but this store has been popular since day one .

Marcos and Paula are moving restlessly .

There seems to be no problem .

Hnn… .

Then, what happened?

Looking below, other than our guarding targets, other guards who were dispatched by someone else are there too .

We know of each other’s existence so we are cooperating because our objectives are the same .

There are also forces that were not inside this facility but are guarding the vicinity instead .

There are also those who are disguised as customers . They are currently eating curry .

There are also those who are playing mini bowling .

…… . .

Just the other day, we guards gathered to play mini-bowling but I only got second place .

Damn it .

It’s because of that seventh lane guy .

He’s very good .

Let’s practice more this time .

……

For the time being, let’s wake up the guys here .

He might know something .

「Hiiiii?」

They suddenly panic as soon as they woke up .

Oi oi .

Don’t make a commotion here .

You’ll fall .

But, why did they do that?

「S-spid-spider… . 」

「Spider?」

「Ah, demon spider」

… .

What the hell are they saying?

Demon spider?

If something like that appears in this city, this city is not habitable anymore .

Usually, when we are talking, we’re not joking around .

Encountering something like a demon spider can only mean one thing, you’re going to die .

………

Surely, we should have been dead already if we’ve seen one… . but we’re not .

I pinch my partner’s cheeks to check if it hurts .

If it hurts, it means this is reality .

In other words, the death spider they are saying is something they’ve dreamt of .

TN: Not a typo . It was really changed to death spider .

「I didn’t know that you are arachnophobic . 」

「No, that’s not it! It really hurts! We all saw it and fainted one after another… . . you fainted too!」

「Hnn? No, though I certainly lost consciousness… . I can’t remember anything . Ehto… . . Ugh, my head… . it hurts so much as if refusing something . 」

It’s like telling me not to remember .

Seriously?

Was there really a death spider?

I look around .

Nothing .

……it’s not here?

Phew .

It’s a dream after all .

Hahaha

Ooops .

The guard sent by someone else got angry telling me to not attract attention .

I’m sorry .

It’s just a dream, it’s just a dream .

Let’s work as guards properly .

My name is Goro .

I’m a demon dog who was able to meet a very good master .

Though I’m treated like a dog, I’m a demon beast .

I also think that I’m ferocious in my own way .

Even so, I haven’t fallen low enough to bite those little ones who are taking care of me .

But it’s not like I don’t bite… . . Especially those who are going to injure my master or the little ones who are taking care of me .

Fufufu

I’m taking my usual stroll today .

Recently, master is working in a really big house so I’m waiting for him at our place until he comes back .

When taking a walk, I don’t intimidate those dogs who I passed by .

Even if I don’t do that, the other party will surely run away immediately .

Ah, that man living in the big house is someone to watch out for .

I smelled something really dangerous from him .

As for the woman who’s next to that man, ah she smells like curry? Though it is faint, I smell something irritating from her .

Master brings home delicious food to eat but it doesn’t suit my taste .

Though I can say that the seasoning is really good .

… .

Areh?

Ehto… . areh?

Why can’t I move?

My sweat gushes out too .

Eh?

Eh?

Eeeeehhhhhhhh?

What? What?

What’s happening to me?

Why is my tail down?

Ah, my legs are trembling… .

Nooo .

I must protect master .

… . .

「It has fainted . 」

「If Hakuren-san gives off her aura, that’s what will normally happen . 」

「Eh? Am I a bully?」

「N-no, that’s not what I mean… . it didn’t run away, what a loyal dog . 」

「Right . So, what’s the status inside the store?」

「No problem . Yesterday was tougher . 」

「Is that so? I think you know… . 」

「Let’s leave it to Gulf . Let him work harder . 」

「Right… . . By the way, that man over there . Don’t you think he’s disturbing?」

「Eh? That’s only a small fry… . 」

「My intuition tells me the opposite . Be careful . 」

「I understand . 」

「Also, this dog… . wake it up . 」

「Okay . 」

When boss went to the city, the Big Tree Village is in an uproar .

The party who went there with boss is enviable .

I want to go too but it seems like inferno wolves are disliked in the city for some reason so we can’t turn up there .

That’s regrettable .

After boss goes out, the man called ancestor-san immediately comes back .

It seems like he’ll be taking some of boss’ females this time .

Could it be… . no, the one who planned this is surely one of those females .

That’s rough .

Hnn?

A spiderling will go too?

Is it really alright?

……

Oh, he came back .

He gathered people again… . . and take them somewhere again .

Thank you for your hard work .

…… . .

When the night comes, the females get back… . after a little while, boss’ party .

Didn’t they meet on the other side?

The next day… . . they are moving separately again .

I don’t know what you’re doing but… .

The man with the name ancestor-san, hang in there .

「Today’s report . 」

「Village chief did not go out of the store that much . Gulf is always beside him wherever he goes so there’s no problem . 」

「There were some customers who tried courting village chief, they have been coerced . 」

「It seems like there are guards inside the store that were dispatched by the demon king . There are a number of them but they have been taken care of . 」

「The sea is safe too . There are some races who lived in the sea nearby but they are friendly . 」

「Whatever they are, it seems like they are not something we should be worried about . 」

「That’s reassuring . 」

「Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too . 」

「I see . How about him? He didn’t do anything that will betray our trust, right? 」

「Right… . He’s really trustworthy . Despite his authority, village chief didn’t go to a store with women . 」

「That’s natural . 」

「Of course . 」

「About that… . . following him in secret, we should absolutely bury it to the ground . 」

「「Yes 」」
