Chapter 41 (1/2)

The past days.

We did a few field and dungeon works and earned some money but I didn’t see Alzein returning—.

『Beside the Arena: High-cla.s.s inn』

「I’ve poured tea, everyone.」

Said Rei while pouring tea in tea cups from a small teapot.

「Ah, is this? Did you buy new tea leaves, Rei-san?」

The little girl bowed proclaiming how knowledgeable she is in tea!

「……. Fumu. It has quite the aroma…… I like it」

Praisingly said by the current Maou about the tea.

You might become human ya kno……

「…… Even so, she’s late. That Tao…..」

At the same time I said that, the door opened vigorously.

「I-I’ve finally arrived! A really shocking request! A request from the prime minister of the 《Rakushadia Republic》 has personally requested our mercenary party! ……*zee ,zee,zee/ panting sounds*……」

Just now, your “taoming” is the one that’s shocking……[a witty word play for timing]

Open the door slowly when entering, Tao-san.

「Oh my, Tao-san. How about some tea first? I’ve just poured them so they’re good, yes?」

Without getting surprised Rei-san offered Tao a tea cup and poured tea.

「How can you calmly pour tea!! It’s a request from the 《Rakushadia Republic》!! The payment is……! The payment is……! ……*bukubukubuku/ bubbling?*……」

Ah. She fell.

Well, it is a request from a 『country』 so I can grasp the amount of the payment……

「…… Can you tell me the details? Don’t tell me it’s a 『simultaneous attack on the Maou’s castle』, right……」

Asked Selen with a stern face.

「…… uhmm, that is…..」

Ruru descend from the stool, and took from Tao’s hand a single paper and started reading.

「Hou hou…… Uhmm….. 『From the ancient munic.i.p.al of Amzeria 《ancient library》 the offered ancient doc.u.ment, a decipher effect has been found from an essential theory in accordance with the history, even as important confirming fact of the world……』 and the like……」

《Ancient library》?

Something being deciphered?

Wait why did you hire a 『mercenary party』?

「……So, uhmm, the payment is 145,000,000G……? …… It said」

OOHH!

Suddenly over 100,000,000!

Lucky. A step closer to my dream!

「…… Fumu. It suspicious. No matter how high the payment is…… 『a decipher effect has been found from an essential theory in accordance with the history』? Surely the books dedicated for the 《ancient library》 is almost about the 『demon race』, 『spirit』 and the 『Spirit-demon war』 and almost nothing about descriptor, no?」

Ooh, Maou’s so knowledgeable.

Why don’t you get a human doctorate degree?
