Chapter 40 (1/2)

『In front of the Guild Desk』

「JOIN MEEEEEEE!!??」 Kazuha

People’s gazes again focus at us.

Chill out me!

Even if you get surprised, don’t scream!

「Yup♪ I don’t know the reason but, I heard from Ruru-san awhile ago…… That Kazuha-sama and her companions need money, that’s why」 Rei

Well…… We do need it but-

It’s just that I don’t want to get too involved with Rei-san……

「(Kazuha, what are you faltering for? Just what idiot would reject such a sweet proposal!)」 Tao

Whispered Tao from my shoulder to my ear.

「(Sweet Proposal? …… Wait, Tao…… Doesn’t that mean that I will become the 『sweet meal to be served』, right……)」 Kazuha

What kind of grudge do you have to me…….

Well, yeah…… you do have a mountain load of malice, right?

「(What kind of idiot looking things are saying! Rei-san is the tournament’s 『winner』 right? If she were to become a 『mercenary』 and our ally……) 」 Tao

……?

…..

Ah. So that’s it.

If a rank 1 were to become a 『mercenary』 and our ally then certainly the number of jobs will rise.

Then if we were to have a rank 1 ally then we will immediately become some country’s 『exclusive mercenary』 or a totally rich old guy will hire us.

If that’s our jobs then, hastily earning 『100 000 000G』 ain’t a dream, eh…….

But my first rule to 『not stand out』 will get trampled on……

Ye~ah……

Ye~~~~~~ah……

Ah, I got it.

I think up a great idea!

I have no plans on using it so it,s fine.

「Ah~. Then, Rei-san? Can Rei-san be our 『leader』?」 Kazuha

「Eh? I will….. be the 『leader』?」 Rei

「…………. I see. I get Kazuha’s underhanded plot」 Ruru [Not plot “plot”, plot as plan! Kazuha has no plot hahahahaha]

Hey. Little girl.

「…… Hou. I get it. That is the fastest way to raise our supply」 Selen

You got it, Selen-san.

「You finally noticed…… What a pain of a child you are…… Kazuha……」 Tao

Jeez♪　I love you Tao-san♪ I’ll kiss you later!

I opened the menu window and chose the item list.

「? What are you doing? Are you perhaps…… to me! A-a 『Love present』 from Kazuha-sama!? ///」 Rei

「Yup. A love present」 Kazuha

But it has no love though.

I chose and took out 《Angel’s Blame》 from my item bag.

「…… ? …… Eh!? Thi-this is…… is this the 『hero’s sword』…..!!?」 Rei

「Yep. I’ll give it to you」

「Wha…… Wh-wh-wh-why!? How come!? Why is Kazuha-sama possessing such object……!?」 Rei

Somehow , after receiving the 『hero’s sword』 from me, Rei-san started running around.

Please, stop making a fuss about it……

Cuz’ the staff in this here guild is soo scary……

That nonchalant face of that old man turning to a furious one almost traumatized me……

「Well~…… What it. Let’s just say I picked it up somewhere, Rei-san」 Kazuha

Well for now she calmed down……

The conversation didn’t progress awhile ago……

「Is… is it really fine for me to take it? Or is it better to give it to my 『ani』……」 Rei [I don’t like putting older brother on “ani”]

「Ah-. Er, how should I put it……. That’s 『not legit』 or so……. And I think that your “nii-san” will properly get the 『Hero’s sword』, so it’s fine to take it」 Kazuha

Well, I ain’t wrong.

I am sure that “that” is not this 『3rd world’s』 『hero’s sword』.

However the efficiency is the same as the 『hero’s sword』.

So the number of people who can equip this is limited.

But if it’s Rei-san then I’m sure she can equip it.

She won the tournament and furthermore has the blood of the hero.
