Chapter 178 – Unfolding Revenge [Continuation]

Translator: Jay_Samuel

Also, the thing hanging around its neck like a muffler, is also a fairy’s body, and should an ordinary human look at it, rather than finding it strange, they will probably be consumed by its evil, unable to move an inch.

「『With this, that makes it the thirtieth body……, these batch too, using the fairy seed the 『XX Devourer』 skill also seems to be added nicely』」

The one who murmured so cheerfully, was a slime that seemed to have reduced about two-fold in size.

It went into the clothes that were scattered on the ground, and it once again took the appearance of a human and continued murmuring.

「『Now then, I wonder how many more bodies I can make』」

『『『『『GoegegebyobyoiAa……』』』』』

The newly born monsters continued to leave while causing tremors on the ground.

The monster watching their backs, looking at that spectacle as he laughs, even though he had already transformed his appearance, he looked even more of a monster.

That day just as I expected, the guild master visited again even faster than he had stipulated.

『Is the party of adventurer Kaito-dono present here? I heard that they were staying in this inn……』

「……I see you’re finally here」

As I was fiddling with the junk I got from town on the bed of the inn where the light of the rising sun shines through, I heard such a voice coming from downstairs.

They were words that I had been eagerly waiting to hear.

『Such an uncouth bumpkin, why don’t you first of all announce from where you hail』

『Oh, please pardon me. I am a messenger from the guild. We have matters to discuss with your guests, so could I trouble you to please deliver the message so they could follow me back to the guild?』

『I see, if there is such a guest in our inn, I will be sure to deliver the message』

The voice of the old man from the inn that I could hear coming from downstairs, puts me in an even brighter mood.

An inn that properly protects customer’s information is utterly deserving of trust. And so I thought, that no matter what happens, I would like to make it so that this inn doesn’t get dragged into the mess.

I knew about the fact that the guild would send a messenger in today through the investigation net cast by Surakichi & Chuusuke.

Which is why today, since morning, everyone have been standing by in this room, doing as they please.

「A whole week huh, they really kept us waiting longer than I thought」

I had thought that it wouldn’t be strange if they sent word within three days.

If the guild master is a royalty liaison for discussions, then this situation can only be Leon’s handiwork.

I could already tell just from the fact that he was travelling alone to train as a warrior, but despite being a prince, he acts too hastily and recklessly. Considering the contents of the conversation with the guild master, I had thought that I would be summoned immediately but…….

(Then again, if I were to consider the preparations for the revenge, and the relaxation of Mai and Yuuto, then I guess it is just in time huh……)

They have been working hard in gathering information, and in preparation for the revenge in cooperation with Surakichi and Chuusuke.

The period was extended unexpectedly, but because of that, we took out sweet time to carefully work on the preparation, and both Mai and Yuuto too were likely able to let out some steam.

Since they came to this world, they have been deeply concentrating on their training with little to no rest, but I am glad that the two of them were able to take a little breather.

While Yuuto was active going downtown to visit bookstores, or enter into the dungeon to train at the shallow* floors of the dungeon, Mai on the other hand, never tried to even leave the inn, and stayed glued to my side, which was a little worrying.

I tried to observe for some signs of homesickness, but since there was nothing I could do if that were to be the case, so I tried to bear with some level of selfishness. Maybe because of that, she seems to be in a good mood recently so I guess all is well.

While they on the other hand were able to get lots of rest, I was dead tired of waiting though.

「If dear brother so wishes, this lovely sister of yours doesn’t mind if dear brother still wants to continue our debauched life a little while longer you know」

「Uh thanks, but no thanks, even now I think we have rested for far too long」

I expressed my grief towards Mai who said such with a playfulness.

This is weird, originally, it used to be Mai who remonstrate me about being languid though.

「Ahaha, but isn’t it fine. If things go as planned, then after this it will be even more difficult to take time to leisurely relax like this right」

And lastly, Yuuto intervened just like that, then came a knock on the door.

『Is anyone in, just now I was asked to pass on a message』

I tossed all the scattered junks I was messing around with into the round bag.

In the same way, Mai returned the Herbology* book she borrowed from Yuuto, and Yuuto as well, closed what appears to be a fairy tale book that he was reading. (TLN: Study of Herbal medicine) f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

「Alright, shall we go then, it is the continuation of the preparation」

When we got to the guild, we were immediately asked into a special room.

The person who was already waiting in the room, was just as I expected.

「Oh, I am so glad you are here, why don’t you take a seat over there first」

One was a seemingly good-natured old man who laughs nicely.

「……」

And the other, was a man who had a presence more than that of the apparent owner of the room.

「…………Ooh, I see」

A man with the head of a lion and a tough muscular build, Leon.

Which is why I want to kill him.

「No, Valeria, there is no need for introductions. There is no time to spend on useless chatter」

He stood up from the sofa, and then stood right there, in front of us who entered the room.

Which is why I want to kill him.

「My name is Leon. The second prince of this kingdom」

With just pressure, he even made me feel the illusion of having a gigantic body greater than that of Valeria, a whale beastkin who has an extraordinary giant frame.

Which is why I want to kill him.

「We are in the middle of war with the demons right now. And it is an unprecedented one like no other in the past that would determine the fate* of humanity」 (TLN: Existence/ life and death)

A serious expression tinged with anxiety, the expression of an opponent who is trying to move forward while concealing his determination.

Which is why I want to kill him.

「In these times of war, you are requesting for a high-ranking adventure rank. And naturally, I am pretty sure you already know that you will be sent out to the battlefield if you do. Whether you seek honor, or reward*, or even the thrill of battle itself, whichever it is I don’t care」 (TLN: Lit.: Prize and reward money)

Saying for 「righteousness」, for「Justice」, for 「the sake of the world」.

Which is why I want to kill him.

「If you guys are truly powerful warriors, then that fighting force is extremely valuable」

A nobleness that gives priority to quantity rather than individual like a matter of course. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

Which is why I want to kill him.

「But, adventurers of the S-rank and above must be human beings who can become the hope of humanity」

I am pretty sure, this man was the one who was originally intended to be made the hero.

Which is why I want to kill him.

「To that end, I am hoping that you guys will display strength befitting of that」

If it is this man, while being sacrificed, while enduring pain, while getting heartbroken.

Which is why I want to kill him.

「If you are able to prove your strength, I will make it my responsibility to confer befitting ranks to you all」

Even so, he would likely keep on going, saying that it is for the sake of the world.

And, if it was for the sake of the world, he probably wouldn’t complain even if his body crumbles to dust.

He is one such noble champion* afterall. (TLN: Hero/ great guy)

Which is why I want to kill him.

「Let me welcome you, you hero* candidates」 (TLN: Same as previous – Champion, not the same title as the MC)

Which is why, ……stop laughing, stop laughing, stop laughing, stop laughing stop laughing Stop Laughing, STOP LAUGHING.

I really want to slash off that hand you’re extending forward right this instance.

I want to thrust my knife into that unfriendly face.

Bite off that windpipe, chip off those limbs, and trample on that body to death.
