Chapter 68

"Right now, I really am regretting the fact that I heard all that, but I’m also really thankful. You have my gratitude."

Cliff lowered his head slightly.

In novels or manga, a noble lowering his head to a commoner was a rare thing.

"It was for Noa’s sake, so don’t worry about it. If you weren’t her father, I would have abandoned you after all."

"I see, I will have to thank Noa, too. Your request is for me to keep silent about you subjugating them, right?"

"I don’t want to stand out after all."

"Why? You could become a hero. You could have wealth and honor."

"Not interested, and it would be too much of a bother if I was summoned. I just want to live happily and peacefully. That’s why I want to end this case peacefully."

"But 10,000 monsters, 500 Orcs, Wyverns and a giant Worm, huh? I can’t believe it."

"Then do you want to see them?"

"Yes, for now I will have my soldiers investigate the forest. I only have your words, after all."

Cliff exited the house and ordered his soldiers to investigate the forest. The soldiers, tilting their heads in confusion, obeyed Cliff’s orders and left to search the forest.

"With that, nobody will see, right?"

Taking my feelings into consideration, he had all his soldiers go away.

The moment I could no longer see his subordinates, I took out all of the wyverns.

I took out the corpse of the Worm, too.

Now that I looked at it again, it was grotesque.

I hate every type of creepy-crawly.

I, the hikikomori, hadn’t touched a bug since kindergarden.

For someone like me, it was impossible to like them.

Cliff also looked at the Worm like he couldn’t believe its size.

"Should I take out the orcs as well?"

"No, it’s okay. Put them away."

Cliff held his head again and thought.

"I wish it was a joke."

"It would be preferable if you didn’t talk about what happened."

"From your story, the adventurers and soldiers from the capital are coming here, right? It will surely be a problem if they don’t know who killed them, you know!"

"Nobody saw the worm, and if you don’t talk, they won’t know it was me."

"You…"

He had a stunned expression.

"For now, you have to at least report this to the guild master, or it won’t be settled. After that, the guild master will handle the situation and stop the march of the Adventurers and Soldiers."

The result was that we would have to discuss it with the guild master.

After that, the die was cast.

Cliff and I decided to go to the capital while we waited for the inspection of the forest to finish.

I had to adjust my speed to that of a horse, so my speed was slower than when I came.

Two days later, we could see the party of adventurers.

Thanks to good timing, they were taking a break.

So that I would not surprise the adventurers, I recalled Swaying Bear, hopped on Cliff’s horse and joined the adventurers.
