Chapter 109
Chapter 109
Just as decided in the eting last night, the investigation began today .
First of all the 『Mad Bull』 Jim .
Gina was chosen to investigate him .
Case on point, I don’t know how well Gina will handle this .
Anyways, Gina was to apply to join Jim’s party and to confirm whether Jim was the real culprit or not .
Since Gina is a newcor in the city, it’s OK for her to apply to any party she wants .
And the result of her investigation is,
[That guy Jim is definitely strong . But he’s not good at using his head]
He’s good at headbutt though, she added later .
The information from Zir’s ghost was quite similar . This fellow is the 『Hit first think later』 type .
However, it’s possible that he’s just pretending to be like that . So we’ll keep investigating him for the ti being .
[Now what should I do this ti?]
Gina is also the type that moves first then think later, but at least she’s not stupid .
As long as given a firm order, she’d act accordingly to the order .
But once she’s confused on what to do next, she’d rely on her bodily instinct .
Perhaps she’ll be suitable for taking command in the frontline? Most likely, she’d do well when taking command of the goblin army .
For now, I instructed Gina to spy on the subject as close as possible .
Investigating John fell into the hands of Centaurs couple .
Shiron simply went directly to mingle with the stray folks to hear about John .
[We’re persecuted race even among the demihumans . Because those stray folks also couldn’t get along with other humans, people like us tend to flock into this place]
He had to leave Horon because he needed to do this alone .
Horon did not stay idle as well .
She organized the information that Shiron brought in and instructed Shiron on what information they’d need next to ensure the authenticity .
The scope and speed of Shiron’s information gathering is truly superb . Is it because he’s a centaur?
And Horon’s information processing is impressive . Could it be that these two had been doing this before in order to make a living?
[This man nad John is very cautious . He would let his aides handle all the important matters . He himself never made any appearance . ]
Apparently, John was originally a citizen of this city . Perhaps his na got mixed up in the midst of the turmoil that the Alchemist guild is in .
I told Shiron and Horon not to go too deep into it but still resud the investigation .
[As I expected, it’s harder than I thought]
[I know right?]
I had to ask Sai to investigate 『Slaughterer Zero』 .
Originally I was going to ask Brigit, but she’s not motivated at all . So ended up asking Sai for help .
『Slaughterer Zero』 seed to regularly visit the adventurers guild to deliver a vast amount of materials .
He repeatedly submitted items of unknown origin and laughed it off when soone asked him the source .
[Honestly, I don’t want to be involved with that guy]
I told Sai that it’s alright if she didn’t want to, but this is still a job . She strangely showed a good amount of motivation regardless .
Sai is the type that mingles with people very easily .
If she were to command a troop, she’ll surely stand out quite well .
Well then, we’ve done so light investigation on all three of them .
[The most probably is Zero . John is the second, while Jim doesn’t seem like it?]
There is a possibility that the mysterious materials in Zero’s large delivery were smuggled goods .
John is the kind of leader that rarely shows himself, while Jim is actually a caring uncle despite his rash and reckless attitude .
[Aa, speaking of uncle]
[Oh, it just crossed my mind]
The last ti I visited the adventurers guild, Stu’s uncle didn’t seem to be doing well .
[Uncle, I’m back . Can I sit here?]
[Go ahead]
[Eh? Are you feeling bad or sothing?]
That rotten faced uncle was drinking a lot during the day, just as usual .
[I won’t be able to drink again . Hunting has beco harder, and the price keeps rising, which makes losing money even faster]
Uncle started to weep and cry . He also hard tapped my shoulder repeatedly .
[This is a serious matter]
Since I don’t have much choice, I decided to buy him so more sake .
Once he started drinking, uncle started to sing around, showing that his mood has sowhat brightened up .
[I am here～♪ an adventurer～♪ going east to the west to make a livin’ better～♪]
It’s a special sounding song alright .
[Dug a treasure in the east～♪ relaxing with a friend on the west～♪ ]
What a chorus . When I look closely, he wasn’t the only adventurer in the mood to drink during the day .
[Why are there many of them?]
There shouldn’t be very little who would want to spend their ti drinking during the day .
However, the tavern is actually as busy as after the sunset .
[You failed in your hunt, you said?]
The uncle mumbled as he gulped down the content of his glass .
[When I thought that I’ve captured it, it suddenly sprang up and escaped]
I tried asking the other adventurers and they gave similar answers .
Apparently, every ti they caught a monster, it always suddenly released itself and escaped .
Returning to the village, I talked to so vampires who make a living as adventurers .
[It’s true that there has been a lot of misses lately]
The vampire adventurers leader, Vergord, told .
[As strange as it is, it causes damage to so individuals since by failing their hunt, they won’t be able to afford so of their necessities]
Vergord’s answer was still a bit vague .
So I decided to check it for myself . Ayla joined during this little trip .
Amy was busy doing what an alchemist usually do . Probably working in her room alongside the 『Book of Wisdom』
Zir found this troubleso, she rely transferred the command of so of her ghosts to and returned back to sleep .
I can also use 【Spirit Magic】, so I can control any ghosts or skeletons that Zir summoned .
It’s been a while since I last hunted on the 『Monster Wilderness』, so I really looked forward to it .
[It’s been a while, right, Ayla?]
[Pardon . It’s been almost 2 years since then, dear husband]
Seed like she’s excited from being able to spend ti with .
anwhile, Ruby lightly poked on Ayla’s leg .
[Sorry, I didn’t forget about Ruby]
Apparently Ruby was complaining because it thought that Ayla is going to go without it .
Thus Ayla took Ruby up and cradled it in her arms .
When I invited Ayla to go to the 『Monster Wilderness』, she was at the barn with the monsters .
As for the sharp wolves pair Luo and Duo, they’re resting on the barn .
To be exact, it was Luo who needed rest, while Duo refused to leave her alone .
Yes, Luo was pregnant .
After returning from the labyrinth, Luo’s condition strangely deteriorates, and Duo becoming more aggressive while around her . After so examination, we confird that Luo’s strange condition was due to 【pregnancy】 .
Actually, 【pregnancy】 can hardly be considered a strange condition, but it is what it is .
When I heard about this 【pregnancy】, I imdiately went to see Luo’s condition . But Lux ca soon afterwards, so I had no choice but to leave her under the care of the goblin caretaker .
When I returned from the tournant at Welburg, I was touched to see four new cute wolf pups have been born .
I beca interested in breeding monsters, so I consulted this with Amy .
[We should end the talking here . So of them are coming fast from the front . They’re coming straight to us, I can sll them already . ]
Ayla and Ruby imdiately sprang into action . I drew out the star sword and love katana while firing so fireballs .
What appeared was the 2 ters long 『Rapid Lizards』 . Its at is pale-coloured and tastes a bit like fish .
Its biggest characteristic is the front kicking while balancing on its tail, just like a kangaroo . Of course, the power far surpassed a regular kangaroo .
If hit squarely, the kick is strong enough to burst through so armours .
[Gugya]
Avoiding the fireball, the middle one suddenly launched a front kick, which I evaded . As I moved, I also swung my swords at it .
Although I managed to inflict a deep cut, it still managed to move away for a while .
But it’s been incapacitated already . 3 left to go .
Ayla overwheld the two lizards and pinned them in place . While Ruby was eating the third one .
2 left to go .
Ruby and I imdiately went to support Ayla to finish off the remaining 2 . Then proceeded to check the surroundings if there was a leak .
[Uーn, that went without a hitch]
The mysterious phenonon did not appear this ti . Only 『Rapid Lizard’s Thigh』 remained .
[Guess it doesn’t happen all the ti?]
Ayla responded while picking up the at .
I thought that might be the case, but after spending the entire day hunting, the strange phenonon never occurred to us .
So I decided to return to the village and enjoyed a bath with Ayla .
[Let rub your back]
Ayla was in an extrely good mood . I would be noisy if I were to ask why she’s so chipper today .
I imrsed myself in the bathtub while facing Ayla . We remained silent, but it’s not the awkward kind of silence .
The comfortable silence went on for a while . When I noticed, Ayla had already snuggled up to .
It reminds of our first ti . Our lips naturally t .
[Onii-chan, I’m back～♪]
Leelan suddenly jumped in between us . As for the kiss… well, that was too bad .
[Leelan, I told you to wash up first before entering the bathtub . ]
Ayla began to take care of Leelan without any sign of displeasure .
While talking amicably, Ayla washed Leelan’s body . Every ti the still sensitive scar was touched, she would wiggle away with a giggle .
After washing up swiftly, all three of us got into the bathtub .
[Onii-chan, where have you been?]
[Monster hunting in the nearby wilderness . ]
[Next ti please bring Leelan along!!]
There should be no problem considering Leelan’s ability . We could always run away if it gets too dangerous .
[We’re not playing around there, Leelan should grow up first if you want to go]
[Muu]
Ayla comforted her when she’s sulking from being treated like a child .
Since Leelan had gotten out shortly after, Ayla decided to go out as well .
As for , I decided to stay for a while .
When I left the bathroom, I found that Ayla was nearby, apparently talking to soone .
[Did Ayla-dono just enjoy a bath with Master?]
[Yes, the hot water is really nice . Go ahead, Gina]
She seed to be talking to Gina . However, Gina’s face was filled with worries over sothing .
[Can I really enjoy the hot water bath too?]
[Here, why not?]
Actually, any villager with a humanoid body also can take a bath here too .
[Can a slave really take a bath in the sa room used by her master?]
[Sure, didn’t I tell you just now?]
[I see, then I’ll go later tonight]
She seed to misunderstand sothing . Well, she might have heard about my reputation as the 『Annihilation』 back at Welburg .
And recently she just moved into a village where various races including even lizardn live together without much moderation involved .
[Do you hate being held by your master?]
Ayla asked without any intention to solve the misunderstanding .
[No, on the contrary . Master is kind and strong . It’s an unexpected joy to that Master bought in the first place . If anything, I’m more worried about not being able to please him properly]
It seems that she got embarrassed because it would be her first ti . Gina answered with a blushed face .
[It’ll be alright . My husband 『is not gentle while in bed』]
[Is that so? Un? So it’s alright to be a bit rough?]
[Yes . If anything, just consider it as an extra enjoynt]
Ayla replied with a smile . Gina didn’t seem to completely get it, but she thanked Ayla nonetheless before leaving .
[So that’s why, my dear husband, please take care of Gina tonight]
Looks like she’s aware that I was eavesdropping . After giving her a reply, we walked side by side to the dining hall .
Unlike Amy, Ayla didn’t show any hesitation at all .
[Of course . Gina has already beco our family mber . ]
Ayla actually replied, which made wonder if I just thought that out loud
After having dinner and relaxing alone in my room, knock knock, I heard soone knocking on the door .
When I opened the door, it was Gina who looked extrely nervous .
[To, to, tonight, will you, have ? I’m grateful to be showered by your boundless love, ermm, what was the next part again~]
I didn’t know that Gina could be this cute .
Without much thought, I hugged and stroked her head .
[Ma, Master, I, haven’t even greeted you properly]
I was amused with little resistance Gina gave to my advances .
[What’s wrong?]
[No, just that, it’s the first ti for to be with a man . It’s an all-new experience to ]
[I see, then you should get used to it because you’ll experience it more often from now on . ]
[Mo, more often!?]
I sealed her lips with mine so that she stopped talking, and pushed her with my weight to seal off her movent .
And thus, Gina beca a woman of my family that night .
Needless to say, from that day onward I began seeing Ayla and the other teaching various ‘things’ to Gina .
