37 Chapter 2-10 The Day Before The Duel

Since then, instantly the story of the duel has spread… or the Duke has spread it. Anything,

"It's better to beat them up after letting a lot of people know," he said.

That's what happened. Being a duke on a boulder, his belly seems to be black, even if it looks natural.

Because of this, the city was in a sort of festive state. It's like a rookie adventurer sold a fight to a nobleman. Moreover, a duel takes place with the approval of the Alliance and the Duke. It's a fun entertainment that just happened out of the blue. Here and there in the city, bets are made among the city's people.

The Alliance also seems to be at the bottom of the bet.

By the way, the guild's multiplier makes a difference so far between me 3.5x and the associate baron 1.2x. The people who know me, etc. are betting on me, but most of the general public bet on the Associate Baron that nobility has no way of losing to newcomers. Lily and her uncles are so thankful that it's easy to make money.

By the way, Mr. Flute regretted that he could not bet because of his torso.

Because of this, I decided to bet on myself, too.

"Hello, Mr. Flute. Can I bet, too?

"Ah, Mr. Tenma. If you don't bet on them, you'll be fine."

At that time, the citizens around me heard idiots, or lucky multipliers.

The adventurers who know me and bet on me are desperate to give up their laughter.

"How much do you want?

and take out the gambling bills and ask, Mr. Flute,

"For a million g, please"

and when I gave out a piece of white gold coin, there was a zawa around me and then two different kinds of calls went up. One is the joyous voice of those who bet against the Associate Baron. The other is the curse of the adventurers who bet on me.

From those who bet against the Associate Baron, laughter sounds like he's a real idiot, or he's a good one for bothering to increase our profits.

When you say adventurer you bet on me, you can read the air, you idiot, don't lower the magnification, you asshole, and so on, and you get spoiled.

"Yes, I accepted. Please be careful not to lose this one."

and only Mr. Flute was driving normally. The curse continued until I received my bets and got out of the guild.

Later, some of the citizens who heard my rumors said they were going to saddle me, but more than that, they started betting an extra lot of money on the Associate Baron, so eventually, they said I was 3.6x and the Associate Baron was 1.1x.

The duel will arrive around noon tomorrow, and so will the Associate Baron this evening. I decided to go back to the inn to take care of my weapon. But along the way, I felt my gaze. That's not one or two either.

At first, I wondered if they were looking at the duel. Nevertheless, it is not such a glance. I changed places and visited the Knights Primera.

"What's wrong? Mr. Tenma."

Immediately after the reception, the primera arrived. Talking about the situation, Primera immediately let her men out the back door and look around. There were four unfamiliar adventure-style men in alleyways and so forth who could confirm the reports of their men in private clothes who came back so lost.

"I don't know if this is monitoring Mr. Tenma or trying to do harm, but it must be the hands of a ten, eighty-nine, associate baron"

I decided. I agree. Rather than that, that's all I can think of.

I thought about it a little bit.

"Mr. Primera. Could you put me at Knights headquarters today? Of course, I'll pay the price."

I suggested. Primera, who had heard that, could not judge by herself, said, "I will ask the other captains," and removed her seat for about ten minutes.

The returning Primera,

"The other captains gave me permission. However, as consideration, it is conditional on the organization of the arsenal."

And he looked sorry. Without knowing what that face meant, I was led to the arsenal to find out what it meant.

"I don't know... it's amazing..."

In front of him were mountains of messy piles of old weapons, protective equipment, etc.

"Sorry! Tenma suggested that one of the captains, who said he could manipulate the golem in large quantities, wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt."

That's what I'm going to apologize for, Primera. But that's not a big deal, I admitted.

"It helps. When did I put something broken or old here, it was like this, and I couldn't get my hands on it?"

Because he said,

"Which squad was in charge?

And when I heard it, I whispered out of sight,

"... this is Squad Four"

I said.

"Your jurisdiction!

It was the moment I realized why this job had turned to me.

"Excuse me! All these things are not good for my squad..."

And he was bowing his head firmly.

"Ha... well, I'm the one who asked for it, that's fine... just in case, put some on me in the name of surveillance"

and asked for the meaning of crime prevention as well.

"I'll take care of it. I will help those who are free."

I was mistaken.

And among the five men gathered in that way,

"So let's get started, Mr. Tenma!

For some reason, there was a primera who was supposed to be the captain.

"Is the captain's job good!

Primera in my voice with

"I'm done for the day!

And I answered well.

I went out and summoned 50 small golems and started working on them.

First I let the golems carry the inside stuff outside. Allow weapons and protective equipment to be placed separately by type.

The contents include about 300 swords, including broken or missing objects, 150 spears, 100 bows, 400 arrows, and 100 other weapons in total.

The protective gear was about 80 shields, 40 breastplates, 10 sets of all-body armor and 30 sets of other protective gear.

Finally, let the shelves and the like be carried outside as well.

I finished serving it in about an hour, so I decided to let the golem divide it into just chipped or rusted items and completely broken ones. Meanwhile, I started cleaning the warehouse.

First, it generates a thick fog in the warehouse, wetting the whole thing and washing it with water magic.

After wind magic scratches the dirt water outside, soil magic fills the broken or cracked areas inside the warehouse.

After that, just wind magic dry the interior.

This one, too, ended in about an hour.

Outside, golems and knights work together to sort things out.

"This one has been cleaned"

"What! Have you already!

Primera is surprised. Anyway, it was so scattered that I didn't even know what to think about cleaning it up, I can see the warehouse walls. Besides, it's even been repaired.

"Mr. Tenma. Would you like to join the Knights?

"I refuse"

Primera dropping her shoulders in response to my cover. With that figure on the side, I'll join the sorting process.

"What do you do with irreparable objects?

"Oh, yeah, those are supposed to be picked up by blacksmiths, etc."

Primera replies, but some of the items that the person who said were sorting were scheduled to be disposed of even what seemed repairable. Pointing that out,

"What! Are you fixing this!

and the tip of the ear is broken, but he is holding a spear that can be replaced, making a surprising noise.

In order to try it, I received the spear and looked for something of the same type and the tip was safe to replace. Primera and other knights are surprised to see the fixed spear. See how that goes,

"Hey, Primera."

"Yes, what is it, Mr. Tenma"

and to Primera who replied, I pointed to the knights who are surprised with spears,

"Are those knights a good place to stay?

to the words,

"Yes, my squad is full of noblemen for some reason."

I said. I also thought that the Fourth Unit is actually a luggage unit, but Primera herself, there are places that are natural and loose, but she is never incompetent, and there seems to be strength there. Besides, some of the people I've seen so far seem to have a lot of strength.

(It's not a complete luggage unit, but a unit that serves as a guide to an unknown gathering)

and concluded that

"How about this sword?

One knight brings a slightly curved sword, missing a cut.

"You can fix this if you ask a blacksmith."

"How about this one?

"This is an irreplaceable type of tip, so you can discard it."

Like that, bring it to me. So I told the knights how to spot the spear and bow briefly, and I decided to sort the sword.

The sorting of swords took about two hours, but the knights were not finished yet. When I went in to help the knights, Primera,

"Mr. Tenma, let's take a break"

I said, so we all decided to take a break.

During the break, I felt multiple signs. Following the signs, four knights stood. Me and the knights who had eyes came close after showing surprise. Primera, noticed in that footsteps, hurries up and salutes. The knight who was resting with me stood up as well.

"Oh, I'm sorry about the break."

Of the four, the oldest man controls the salute with his hands, making it easier. In the appraisal,

Name... Alan Van Dortress

Age… 45

Race... People

Title... Baron Gunjo City Knights General Captain

And out. The knights behind you,

Name... Santos Knight

Age… 35

Race... People

Title... Captain and Honorary Associate Baron of the Knights of Gunjo City 1st Squad

Name... Simon Cairo

Age… 28

Race... People

Title... Captain and Honorary Associate Baron of Knights II, Gunjo City

Name... Aida Rice

Age… 27

Race... People

Title... Captain and Honorary Associate Baron of Knights III, Gunjo City

and the top momentum of the Knights.

"Guys, come on, what's going on?

and Primera asks the nervous question.

"What, it's no big deal. It seemed tough, so I just came by to see how things were going. Don't be nervous."

"That's what my husband says, but the truth is I just couldn't stand still when I heard you were with a guy"

"If you're saying that, you're going to hurt later. Don't say anything unnecessary."

"Besides, I've heard rumors in this city lately that he's here."

and answers in the order of Alan, Santos, Simon, and Aida. In the meantime, you won't distract me.

"You're the rumored tenma right now... you're young"

Alan is a guttural physique man with a skinhead and a moustache and jawbeard connected.

"That's true. Not very much, but he doesn't look like the guy who ruined the whole banza thing."

Santos is a big man and seems to be over 2m tall.

"People don't look like it, do they? I was easily aware of our signs."

Simon is a middle-bodied man with a gentle face.

"I've asked someone in the Alliance about his background, but then I thought, we might not be enemies until we're in a bunch."

Aida is a taller woman than Simon. She has short hair and light black skin color.

"Is that true!

Those who heard it looked quite surprised, but among them Alan heard it unexpectedly and so on.

"Yeah, it's true. You all know I don't make jokes about this hand."

"I know... isn't that too much to say?

Simon listens, but Aida shook her head,

"He came to this city early to crusade two orgasms, when he was thirteen."

I said, Santos,

"That's great, but we're still stronger."

"That's not all, and since then, I've seen you crusade a bunch of more than B-rank demons by yourself, and they've now sold the material to the Alliance. And..."

So look at me.

"I tried to kill him a long time ago."

and made a shock statement. The face of the Knights was very surprising.

I was pretty surprised, too, but I didn't know which one it was because it happened so often when I came to this city.

"So, what happened?

And, when Santos heard, Aida laughed lightly,

"I thought they were going to kill me. By the time I found out, I was running to my room at Knights headquarters. Besides, he locked it up and hid it in the shadow of his desk."

I'm sorry then, but I didn't remember myself, so I didn't care, and I gave it back.

"Eida says that much... If it doesn't take a bunch, maybe it won't be the other guy..."

Alan is roaring in arms. And

"Tenma, why don't you join the Knights"

"Sorry, I refuse"

And I said no without putting my hair in. When the primera

"Captain General, I solicited you earlier, and you turned me down fast."

"Right..."

Alan looking sorry. Primera seems a little happy to have the same refused (...) companionship.

"Captain General, if it's not time to go back, we'll be in the way any longer"

Simon advances to Alan. Alan tried to leave the nodding field, too.

"Mr. Alan. Could it be that the fourth unit was ordered to organize the warehouse to teach you about the weapons?

and I rushed over and asked in a whisper,

"Exactly. Many of those from aristocracy do not know common sense, even if they are gifted. That's why I make them chore as much as possible to remember."

Keep it a secret, I said, and Alan left this time.

"Don't you dare start again"

My orders set the knights in motion. Earlier, about twenty empty knights came to support us, so we move on in the form taught by those who were sorting ahead.

I had to tell you about new types of weapons and protective equipment.

By the end of three hours, all sorting had been done. It's already time for dinner. So Primera showed me to the room where I was staying today. I also got dinner in the dining room, but to be honest, it's a lot worse than the one in the full pavilion.

The first thing I did when I got back to my room was dinner for the Shiloumals.

Remove dried meat, distorted rice, etc. from the bag and place in the dimension bag. Shiloumal just says, I've been waiting.

He then took care of the weapon. After I finished, I dived into the futon.

Tonight, in preparation for tomorrow, I decided to sleep early.

-... in a mansion...

In the dim room, one man was kneeling toward his own employer. Around, there are some figures.

"I'm sorry. We were unable to interfere."

It was the man dressed as an adventurer who reported to his employer. But when this man walked, he wouldn't stand his footsteps as hard as he could, so he also thought those around him were more like spies or assassins than adventurers.

"The kid hid in the Knights headquarters."

The words were swept around me. And the employer who was in the front of the man...... Legil,

"The Knights got on that kid!

and shouted, but the man,

"That's unlikely. Perhaps he found out who else was following him. As soon as the kid walked into HQ, there was a knight in private clothes exploring the area."

Perhaps he evacuated just in case, the man continued.

"Well, I hope so. I'll have you working tomorrow. Thank you very much."

"Ha!"

As the man walked out of the room, Legil forced the others to leave as well. And looking at the pledge,

"That shitty kid, I'll remind you who you turned on your enemies"

That's what I said, I laughed ugly.
