[Hey. I thought youd never co.]
That night.
When I went to the designated tavern, Gard was there with a refreshing Iken smile.
Apparently, this was a tavern for the rest of all SaintBells adventurers.
When I stepped inside the building, a manly sll seed to co out of it.
[Excuse . To tell you the truth, I havent yet decided to take the job]
[I see. Ill hear the story of why for the mont. Im going to order a drink, do you have any requests?]
[No. In particular]
[Cantinero, the house special drink for him!]
The next mont Gard snaps his fingers.
An employee with a Kaiser beard shows up from behind the counter and brings
a drink.
Wow!
Are there really people who call other people just by snap their fingers!?
Is the first ti I see it in real life.
[ well, then lets move on to the request. Have you ever heard of a demon who has settled in this city?]
[No. This is the first ti Ive heard it.]
[ In fact, there are rumors that hes settled in the east residence of SaintBell. The guilds are secretly investigating high-ranking adventurers there is no exception and thats coming back.]
[What about the Devil Lord?]
Sothing slls bad.
First of all, from the image of the Devil Lord I have, it is like soone sitting on the top floor of a magnificent tower built between space and ti.
follow a ordinary thought wouldnt stay in the residence of a city.
[ Although I cant determine that, I think the odds are good enough. The predictions of the Demon Lords rebirth are famous stories. What I want to ask you would be the subjugation of the demon who settled in the East residence.]
[.]
Its an unbelievable story!
But if youd said it in the first place, we could have saved ti.
[Im sorry. I cant trust that story to be]
[Ill pay the reward. If I put 30 million col in your hands?]
[30 million!?]
I-Is not too much reward?
30 million col from Adelheid is equivalent to 33 million yen in modern Japan.
[Oh, since Im a person born into a family of venerable heroes, its easy for
to make that kind of money.]
I didnt know that.
Did the heros descendants lead such an affluent life?
On careful thought, the conditions offered by Gard seem to be convenient.
Why is that so?
From what I have heard from Gards story, the creatures who settled in the city residence did not feel like the Demon Lord at all.
If you consider it, if you can get 30 million Col just for defeating a fake demon king, it will unquestionably be a request.
Imdiately after completing the money fever in a mine search, it is best to have more assets.
[I understand. I dont know if I can defeat him, but Ill do my best.]
[Really!? What a joy! Let us fight together to protect the peace of the world!]
When I responded to the deal, a refreshing iken smile floated on Gards face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 hour later.
Gard, who decided to leave Souta at the tavern, was walking in so ruins waiting for his comrades.
These ruins were a hideout of a group of demon hunters called the TheFeastofRoses used for etings.
[Kuhaha, apparently it seems to have worked well.]
In the hideout, Gard was talking to his partners about the tavern.
They were outlaws hired by Gard. These were powerful people who didnt mind killing others if necessary.
[But the boss also has a terrible personality, trying to get for himself the fisherns profits.]
[Fufu. Thats a story I wont tire of telling.]
Supposedly, a contract was signed that said, If you defeat the demon who lives in the mansion, you will be given 30 million col but Gards intentions were different.
Gard intended to take credit when Souta and the Demon were fighting and would have weakened.
If the opponent was a stronger demon, he should abandon Souta and flee.
Using adventurers attracted by money to use them as bait was routine for the Gard group.
[I dont like it. Even if its a imitation of the demon lord, even if its a demon or sothing, Ill take it down with a single shot.]
Who unloaded his annoyance in the group that was animated was the outstanding mber of TheFeastofRoses Domon.
Domon had a delicate sword technique, that sword coming out of his gigantic body that was 2 ters high, and he had been supporting Gard since the groups begin.
[Domon, dont worry. Ive bought your abilities, but is this the way we do all our jobs?]
Gard pours sake into Domons empty glass to ease his mood.
Gards family that bore the blood of the hero was in a position where a large grant was taken from the country every ti they made an achievent in the subjugation of demons.
However.
In the past, the descendants of the house of the hero who possessed an invincible glory, with the passage of ti would beco normal people.
Gards family managed to maintain their current position by gathering thugs under the na of the Hero and hunting demons.
300 years later, the heros family was completely corrupted.
The Incoming inco in the country was proportional to the level of threat from evil demons.
In particular, they emphasized the existence of the Demon Lord because it was possible for them to extend the story and earn more inco from the country.
[Son, lets celebrate success with the demon king business and get a drink!]
Gard, who was convinced of the success of the strategy, emptied his glass with his good humor friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
( I see, so thats what happened.)
In the anti.
Carolina, who was seeing the state of Gard with bat eyes, had a blue vein on her forehead.
It was a story from the past about the existence of the demon lord who reigned over Adellheid and was feared in the past.
Now he lacked such prestige, even there were those who used his na as a tool to make money.
(That indignation, to use the na of the Maou-sama for such vulgar purposes.)
Carolina, who had listened to Gards conversation, was burning with killer intent.
