The Extra's Return Chapter 75 The Orphanage

Jeanne stood over the innkeeper's body, which had been lying on the ground.

In Jeanne's hand was already her big shield.

The shield she held was ready to free fall and hit the innkeeper's neck anyti.

However, before she slamd the neck of the innkeeper, I managed to get close to her and caught her hand. I grasped her hand so that she wouldn't kill the innkeeper.

"You can stop here."

She looked like she was about to throw a tantrum when I stopped her. However, when she turned her head and saw my face, she widened her eyes.

"...Uh. It's you."

It looked like she was still recognizing my face.

"It's good that you recognize ."

"What are you doing? Are you going to defend this guy?"

"No, I'm not. You must realize that you'll get into trouble if you get this commoner maid or even killed, right?"

She wanted to argue, but I simply told her that there was a child watching her, so she stopped and cald down again.

"Ugh! Sorry. It's getting harder and harder to hold my temper lately."

She put her shield back on her back.

Jeanne had indeed cald down, but the innkeeper was still not calm.

The innkeeper stood up and started talking nonsense.

While holding the stomach that Jeanne had kicked, he continued to spout words along with saliva into the empty air.

He complained about the violence he received and he demanded that he receive compensation.

"Alright, before I compensate you. Feel this first."

Pow!

I hit him on the head until he fell to the ground and saliva dripped from his mouth. He passed out miserably.

I rubbed my palms together as if cleaning the dirt off my hands.

Jeanne's eyes looked at and the innkeeper in turn. Her eyes widened in confusion.

"Didn't you tell not to hit him?"

"I wasn't sure if you could restrain yourself. So I just substituted you hitting him."

"Then, what solution do you have for this problem?"

"Of course, I will compensate him. Wait here for a mont."

The solution I had was very easy.

I dragged the innkeeper into his inn.

Once inside a room, I woke him up by slapping him continuously. When he ca to, I gave him a chest of money.

I had activated the Inventory skill and took out the chest of money. This was all the money I had at the mont. With this money gone, I was back to being poor.

But it's okay. I'll get so more money soon.

As soon as I opened the chest, the light from inside the chest was enough to make the innkeeper, who had previously been in a daze, instantly rise as if feeling a ray of auspicious light.

Before he misunderstood, I told him that I was making him an offer. I wanted him to sell his inn for the money I gave him.

I thought he would grumble and curse at . But the opposite happened. He showed a reaction of excitent. Even though the total money I gave him would not be enough to buy an inn in a big city like Burgenfield city.

"Hehe, I can finally be free from the misery of managing this inn!"

He suddenly embraced, kissed, and sniffed the chest containing the money I gave him. He seed to have forgotten the matter about the boy who stole his food earlier.

Not to forget, before he left with the chest of money, he handed a paper docunt on the ownership of the inn and the land here. And we both signed the deed of sale of the land and building.

After the exchange was complete, the innkeeper ran off carrying the chest of money. He kept swearing as if the bad luck he had from managing this place was finally over.

Speaking of this inn, his reaction seems to be a natural one.

After I entered this inn, I began to realize that there wasn't a single person renting a room. It was only natural for him to be happy when soone ca and bought this inn that had been losing money for who knows how long.

I stood up and put the land and building ownership docunts into Inventory.

Not long after, Jeanne and the child who had previously caused trouble arrived.

"Hey, what are you doing, quickly thank him!"

She whispered to the kid hiding behind her, she told the little kid who had previously made the trouble to thank .

Following her instructions, the little boy bowed 90 degrees, and said, "Thank you, sir" in a small voice.

After the little boy, she now stepped forward and spoke to .

"Ahahaha. Thank you for stopping . I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I actually have a little problem controlling my emotions."

She placed one hand on her waist and scratched the back of her head with the other.

She looked shy.

"By the way, I saw the innkeeper running away with a chest. Did it contain the money you gave him?"

"Yes. I just bought this inn."

"Uh, is it because of ? I apologize again for that."

What I did was only buy the inn because I wanted to buy it in the first place, not because of Jeanne and the trouble she brought.

"It's okay. I didn't do it for you."

The main reason why I bought this inn was to prepare a place for the Beastn I was going to rescue.

In accordance with what Callie ordered, which was to rescue the Beastn who were made slaves, I bought this inn to serve as a place where they can stay temporarily.

Because I couldn't tell her my reasons, she seed to misunderstand.

"...You seem like a good person."

While saying that, she scrutinized my face carefully.

At first, she was just rubbing her smooth, pointed chin, as if she was thinking about sothing while observing . But then, she suddenly offered a handshake with a faint but bright smile on her face.

"Aren't we acquainted yet? I'm not sure if you already know, but my na is Jeanne. As you might have guessed, I am an Adventurer."

I took the hand that she extended to . Just like her, I also introduced myself,

"sties. I'm also an Adventurer... Rank F."

She was surprised when I told her that I was just a rank F. But she soon shrugged it off as if she didn't care.

"Co with . Let offer you a cup of tea. That is if you want, hahaha."

"Sure."

"Don't you want to take your girl?"

"Who do you an?"

"You know, the staff of the previous adventurer's association."

"Don't get wrong, she's not my girlfriend."

"Ahaha, I thought you guys were dating because you dared to protect her from the hands of that old butler-"

I frowned slightly as I heard her annoying laughter.

"Oops! My bad."

Without much more talking, I was led by Jeanne to the place she was referring to, where she planned to offer a cup of tea.

Exiting the inn, we continued to walk together.

While looking at Jeanne's back which was partially covered by the shield, I asked her a question that I had wanted to ask from the start.

"Have you ever t soone nad Jullian?"

She stopped midway. While glancing back, she spoke, "Who is Jullian?"

"Huuu. Nop. Just ignore my question."

Looking at the reaction she showed, it seed that Jeanne had not yet t Jullian.

That ant, Jullian was still contractually bound to stay in his territory so he couldn't go anywhere.

If I'm not mistaken this was the 20th day, 3rd month, and 990th year of the Sovereign calendar.

Unmistakably, by now she should have interacted with Jullian and started unraveling the mysteries of this city together. But that didn't seem to be happening.

Am I allowed to feel relieved?

"By the way, where are we going?"

I changed the subject to keep Jeanne from asking more questions.

"To the orphanage. I hope you don't mind the noise of the kids later, hahaha."

I had guessed that the place Jeanne was going to was the orphanage.

When I had just co to this city, I had actually planned to look for Jeanne in the places that had the highest possibility of where she might be.

In the novel Demon Lord and Hero of Light, Jeanne was told to frequently visit the orphanage in the center of Burgenfield city.

I had originally planned to go there, but instead, I had t her by accident.

As I was thinking about this and that, I almost bumped into Jeanne's back. She suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. It's a good thing I stopped in ti. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been her soft body that I would have hit, but rather a cold and hard shield.

"Are we there yet?"

"...."

I tried to ask, but there was no answer from her.

I was surprised to see the reaction she showed after standing still all of a sudden.

It was a look of shock at first. In the middle, she rubbed her eyes as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing. And then, the last expression she had was an expression of extre anger.

As for the reaction shown by the child beside her, the child's leg seed to be suddenly deford, causing him to sit still on the ground, staring in shock without being able to speak.

I tried to look at the sa scene that Jeanne and the little boy were looking at. I felt curious as to why they could show such a reaction.

And in the end, I understood after seeing what happened.
