Karan put it aside for a while before continuing.
"The worst possible of the union's assumptions has been neutralized ─ ─ Fortunately, the unhappiness could have been solved early in the evil beast runaway (Stampede). If the discovery had been delayed, there would have been a massive overflow of canine heads (covolts) from the forest and a massive mob would have to be formed."
Karan exhaled a breath of relief.
"It was truly a triumph to crush the Covolt King, who was the 'root' of Stampede's runaway. Thanks to this, the Inu-head (Kobolt) who remains in the woods has become a crowd of whales. No matter how many, no matter how many mercenaries are below the fourth grade, they can be cleaned up."
Even though they lost control, hungry dog-heads (covolts) certainly consumed as much food as they could see and had a significant impact on the flora and fauna that inhabited the area of activity.
Still, considering the damage caused when the Urban Runaway (Stampede) became full-scale, the union had come to a conclusion.
"Overthrown by extreme hunger and the dominance of the Kobolt King, the herd of dog-heads (Kobolts) led on top of it is far more troublesome than the likes of individuals. If that were to happen, the mob would have suffered a lot too."
While listening to Gram's words, I remembered the scene where Mikage was wounded in his leg. Mikage was about to lose his life against a swarm of Kobolts that would attack him without saving his own. Thinking so, if something like that comes up in the middle of nowhere, it's nothing but fear.
"... so, did you take the trouble to get us to listen to this nonsense?
"I love you."
Even though the great man of the union explained to me, Mikage told me to cut it cold and throw it away. I got my face on the next door, too.
"No, it's tough, Silver Flash. Looking at Yukina, he seems to know a little about Stampede, so should we move on to the subject?"
After coughing up one, Karan was cut out.
"There must have been a crusade against the Covolt King. However, many voices in the union question who the 'meritorious' of the crusade is."
"... the other day, you explained from my mouth to the union?
"Still, it is. To be honest, I would have been closer to them if it weren't for your report."
Mikage reveals discomfort, and the confused Karan's gaze staggers.
... that's what I mean.
"It's what my partner imagined."
I have heard that Yukina (me) was the one who crushed the Kobolt King and that Mikage reported it to the Union. But the union is questioning her report.
Speaking of words from the parties, it's unacceptable that a new Grade 5 mercenary can fight the best of Covoltokings.
Karan looked at me in silence.
"I'd like to check with Yukina-kun. Are you sure it was you who killed the Covolt King?
"Ah, it definitely means I stabbed you in the face."
My honest answer sharpens Karan's gaze.
I don't think you're lying, but I don't think you can believe this.
"That means Silver Flash hunts down the Covolt King and strikes the last blow ─ ─"
"No, it's not."
In the middle of Karan's speech, the lizard was slashed and discarded.
"I did run into you first. But I only slightly injured myself. It was definitely this one (Yukina) who crushed the Cobolt King."
No, I'm not wrong. I don't know how to say it anymore. You don't have to feel that way. Look, the executives are a little surprised.
"... I didn't know that Silver Flash, who was more interested in earning fame than anyone else, would give up his work to someone."
"I've only told the truth from the beginning, nothing to give or give. Please don't get me wrong. It was only one way I wanted fame."
"Oh, I understand that ─ ─"
"Well, it doesn't matter anymore."
And the lizard smiled and looked at me while dyeing his cheeks. Women aren't very immune, so if you look like that, your chest will be thrilled.
Ah, executive, now you're opening your mouth.
"... what does that mean?"
"I have the Lord to serve. That's what it is."
After my eyes twitched, Karan turned to me like a goofball. Though I shouldn't have felt guilty, I glanced away from Karan reflectively.
"Well, more than that... now we're talking about the crusade against the Covolt King."
"Uh-huh. That's right."
Karan nodded hard at my suspicious words. Somehow, I think she told me that she didn't want me to touch on this matter.
Karan coughed again to regain his mind.
"After receiving reports of the Cobolt King assassination, the union recovered the body of the Cobolt King, which was actually examined by officials.
As a result, in addition to the knife wounds that would have been silver flashes, there were many scars that were seen to have been inflicted by someone else. Especially a blow to the left chest that would have gotten in the way of both arms. These two were clearly different from the silver flashes. "
"Don't you even know that?
"Silver Shine's weapons are unique. As long as it handles the blade to a certain extent, it is obvious at a glance.
In that regard, the wound on both arms is a cut that looks like a forceful knife. Up to the left chest, the area around the heart is completely eroded. I don't think it's because of the silver flash. "
Both arms and left chest - definitely the wound I swing a gram on. But it sounded like other HR. At that time, it was a whole body spirit obsessed with selflessness, but the reality didn't spring up.
"Sure, maybe it wasn't Silver Flash who fought the Covolt King. But if I were to ask if the fifth grade rookie had worn the wounds on his arms and left chest, I would still have no choice but to question them."
"So you want to ask us again? Then, no matter how many times you ask, there is no substitute. Yukina is the greatest champion of the Cobolt King crusade."
"Yukina-san, are the words of Silver Flash true?
"... definitely."
Whether it's unrealistic or unreliable, it doesn't change the fact that I crushed the Covolt King. I answered Karan's question without false answers.
Karan, who received my words, remained silent for a while, but eventually he let go of his shoulders and smiled casually.
"Okay. It doesn't look like Silver Shine is giving up on me. I'll tell the unionists that."
"Isn't that what you said from the beginning?"
"The Covolt King is not an evil beast (monster) that can be easily destroyed by a Class 5 newcomer. I didn't doubt your words from the beginning, but I couldn't honestly believe them."
Mikage sighed stunnedly at Karan's words.
"Besides, Mikage was in charge of the original request," Investigation ". Yukina interrupted it and completed the request on her own."
If you ask me, it's like I literally put a spear in Mikage's request. If another mercenary intentionally obstructs a mercenary who has been asked to do so, he will be punished.
"Of course, the union understands that it was an urgent situation. That's why I had to ask the parties about the situation, even in form."
I was told that the organization stinks, and I came up with a frank feeling.
