Madman in a Fantasy World

56. later story

After dealing with the mines, we took a wagon early in the morning and left for the empire.

Wouldn’t it be okay to sleep at the inn, stay a little more relaxed, and then go in the morning?

You could ask that question, but I don’t like getting caught up in trouble.

It was good to deal with the demons, but the problem was that the demons we dealt with were the marquis of the empire and the lord of the marquisate.

It would have been right to receive a reward if he had dealt with demons and demons, but it was annoying just thinking about being called by the emperor and being polite, so he left quickly.

Still, I couldn’t explain the situation, so I left a rough note of the situation.

The butler there seems to be doing a good job, so he’ll take care of it.

And if you’re not an idiot, you can infer who the culprit is enough from our disappearance, so I left the cleanup behind.

-smart.

“May I go in, Lord?”

Although the butler knocked, no answer was heard from within the room.

Normally, I would hear an answer right away, so I knocked a few more times.

Feeling suspicious because of the lack of response, the butler put his hand on the doorknob.

“Please forgive my rudeness.”

What the butler saw when he opened the door and entered was someone resembling a marquis… entrenched in a corner of the wall with the smell of blood wafting from all sides.

“······!”

From the outside, the overall appearance was correct, but judging from the muddy skin color and growing horns and wings, he was no longer human.

“This, what is this…”

There was a piece of paper attached to Mine’s face.

The butler, who went closer to check what was written on the note, saw a short sentence.

[Your Marquis Kyaruham.]

in the middle of the note.

[He robbed the safe with overtime pay.]

And at the very bottom of the note.

[If you spread rumors about who killed it, you will make it look like the person in front of you.]

“Huh~”

“Luke-sama, is it really okay to take care of things like that?”

“Then what do you add?”

Shouldn’t you be grateful for what you’ve done?

We went with a request to subdue monsters, not with a request to save the marquis.

If it’s the territory where they live, they should solve it on their own. What and how much more are they hoping for.

In this world, there is no pay for overtime work, and I wonder how much they are trying to pamper people.

If he hadn’t robbed the marquis’ safe that was there again this time, he would have tried to rob all of Yeong Ji-min’s house by trespassing like a green-dressed hero somewhere as compensation for overtime.

As we were filling up our lack of sleep by receiving lap pillows, we departed from the Marquis Territory before sunrise and arrived at the empire at the time the sun began to rise.

First of all, I headed to the Adventurer’s Guild to get the reward money.

Even though I come to the adventurer’s guild a lot as my main job is an adventurer, I’ve been coming here almost every day lately, so it feels like home now.

But today, for some reason, the adventurer’s guild was crowded.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

More than when you dealt with the piglets that sent the assassins before.

To be honest, there is something that stings me, but I just finished solving it this morning, and there’s no way the letter arrived before us.

I wondered if an S-class adventurer had come this time.

“I’m glad you’re okay.”

Heading in the direction where Adela is, he says ‘that line’.

“How did the nomination request go?”

“It’s neatly resolved.”

“It’s fortunate. The client wasn’t as strange as I thought, right?”

“No. He’s a strange person, isn’t he? I hit him once because he was narrow-eyed, and then hit me another time because he was annoying.”

“·······.”

“I hit Adela’s share instead, did I do well?”

“·······.”

Adela’s lips, unwilling to move, as if they had been zipped up.

hahahaha. I’m so moved that I can’t even speak.

I’ll put this on debt, so pay back slowly later.

I handed over the sealed request from my inventory to Adela.

With this, the nomination request is really over.

“But why are you so noisy in the morning?”

“Ah… something big happened.”

“Did the emperor even die?”

“······Please be careful because that is a statement worthy of being executed for contempt of the imperial family.”

“How about it? People eventually die.”

“I don’t want to be caught up as an accomplice, so please…”

All humans eventually die.

Later, if an invasion of the empire occurs and the emperor is in danger, I will have to help.

Dying isn’t bad?

Rather, they say that death is a luxury, right?

I’m going to help you indulge in some extravagance.

“So what’s the big deal?”

“This morning, the head of the Marquis family, Crown Rodion, was dead in a magical state.”

“Hey…”

I must have killed it this morning, but it was fast.

How did the news spread faster than we rode in the wagon as soon as we killed him?

“The news is so fast. Is there a morning glory magic that only receptionists can use?”

“No. There’s a magic tool for emergency contact.”

It is also a magic tool.

In a world where no science and technology can be found, if you don’t even have magic tools, you’re just like a primitive man who can light a fire with your hands.

“Why did you write a letter or something when you have such a good thing?”

“Because it takes a lot of mana to use it once. It can only be used when a big event like this time occurs.”

Tsk. I wish I had a smartphone.

I should have commented on the modern fantasy novel next to it instead of winning first place.

“So it’s not even a fuss right now. This news must have reached the ears of His Majesty the Emperor.”

Well, if you’re a marquis, you’re in the rank right below the duke.

A noble of that high rank betrayed humanity, so how could they not be okay?

It was also good that he left a note.

If we stayed longer, it wouldn’t have been a frenzy with people from the royal family saying that His Majesty had congratulated us.

Just imagining it is annoying.

“But are you revealing the information? It’s a secret, so why do all the adventurers here seem to know about it?”

“Haa… that’s how information is originally. No matter how much information is concealed, it will eventually leak somewhere. Once released, information quickly becomes a rumor, and rumors quickly spread out of control. .”

Birds listen to words during the day and mice listen to words at night.

That’s why the rumors are scary.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the speed of spread is as fast as the corolong.

“How’s the situation now?”

“The royal family is looking for someone to manage the empty Marquis. And the academy is not in a frenzy. .”

Wow, was that guy with a baby?

No matter who you are, what do you do because you are pitiful?

While studying diligently, I met Abby by mistake and my life went to hell.

“The handling of mines is amazing.”

Still, since he was a marquis, I thought it would end with a rank demotion or property confiscation as a count.

It makes something that never existed.

“Because he is a traitor to humanity.”

Well, it is correct to say that once the frame of being a traitor is put on you, your life is ruined.

Actually, in a game in my previous life, a female character with cat ears betrayed me, so it wasn’t a joke after that.

It is natural for anti-fans to form, and after that, memes were created, and countless memes of abuse related to the character were created.

The son of the marquis, who is said to be at the academy by now, would have been framed as a ‘son of a traitor’ while he was still.

“Come to think of it… wasn’t the place Luke went to the Marquis of Lothian…?”

“Mole? Lou.”

-match!

It was at that time that he calmed the noisy adventurer guild and drew attention at the same time.

When someone clapped their hands loudly, the eyes of all the adventurers in the guild turned to the source of the sound.

The source of the sound came not from the first floor, but from a little above, and when everyone looked up, there was a man standing alone on the stairs.

The man was not someone I didn’t know.

The straight scar on his right eye and the graying of his hair made it possible to guess his age, but contrary to his age, the man’s spirit emanated from him was quite different from that of an ordinary adventurer.

The identity of such a great person is an A-class adventurer and the guild leader of the adventurer’s guild in the Empire branch.

When I first came to join the adventurer’s guild, it was the first Argo I had never seen before.

“It’s good that everyone is lively in the morning, but I hope you think about my face.”

Standing on the stairs as if they were a platform, Argo grinned.

It was said that the horse laughed, but in reality, only the mouth was smiling, and the eyes were not at all.

Then, as if it had always been, it became quiet.

“Adela, what does that sound like?”

I didn’t know what he was talking about, so I asked Adela indirectly.

“As for the Empire, it’s disgraceful news betrayed by an aristocrat who is the backbone of a nation. It wouldn’t be nice for the Empire to go viral. Especially against adventurers who don’t know where to go.”

“So what?”

“You still don’t know what that means…?”

“yes.”

“… Haa. The point is to crack down on adventurers.”

Aha.

Then you can just say that the high-ranking people ordered you to crack down on your mouth, why are you talking round and round?

This is why I did not go to liberal arts and went to science.

“Okay. Thank you for understanding.”

And Argo, who was about to turn his back and go up, said, “Ah.” I looked back as if I had remembered something.

“Come to think of it, an official letter has come down from the academy requesting an adventurer to help with this training. Is there anyone who wants to do it? The required grade is D-class or higher.”

At his words, the inside of the guild was silent.

“There’s really no one? The pay is pretty good, right?”

Argo asked again, but the adventurers remained silent.

“Mister Luke. Why is no one going?”

“Because adventurers are oil and academy students are water.”

Something that can never be mixed.

Even when I first entered the adventurer’s guild, I got into trouble because I was wearing an academy outfit.

I don’t think I’ve seen that bald head lately.

It’s obvious that you’ll be ridiculed by the Kamen Academy students, but who would want to go even if they paid a lot of money?

No, it’s rather better if only students do it.

Among professors, there are some who live in the ideology of the chosen people, so the professor might openly pick them out.

So, considering the relationship between academy students and adventurers, it is only natural not to go.

“Aha···.”

“We’re done with our business, so let’s go rest.”

The moment I turn my back to go to rest.

“There. Stop the academy student uniform.”

It seems like I’m looking for someone, but it’s none of my business, I just wanted to go.

“Luke. Stop moving.”

Even if you didn’t call my name.

It came to my mind after being nominated, I was wearing my academy school uniform right now, right?

Somehow, everyone was staring at me when I stopped moving in my academy school uniform.

“I’m not Luke!”

“If you help me with this request, I’ll allow you to take the B-class promotion test at the discretion of the guild leader.”

“Right! I am Luke!”

Abuse of power is the best.
