Chapter 10 (2/2)

Arc point of view

A few days later, although I have been investigating the area around Rubierute to find an ideal base location, nothing has changed in my day to day life

The figure of my flashy ars seemed to have calmed do Yet, the only places I can eat are inside my inn room or far outside of town, si at me

However today was different because of what happened thisIt happened after I left the inn, looked at the request in the guild building, and left for the west gate to investigate and earn my daily income

However, don had an unusual atate, the aer then nor towards the gate so I could listen in on their conversation

“I heard that the party that brought down the giant basilisk only has five people in it! They should be bringing it to the square now!”

“That’s true!? That thing killed so …… Giant basilisks are large ga territories has there ever been any stories about them?”

“Recently there have been a lot of stories like this one Is it a bad o?”

It seeiant basilisk In this world it see so was a major achievement However, it appears that it was a ht I sao of theon forest……

The small square was already croith people, in the center of the square was a wagon surrounded by five people, one of the five was reciting their heroic battle while estures

It was like being at a play, as the townspeople devoured the story that they were listening to

A giant basilisk was cut into portable pieces and pilled on the wagon Certainly it would be ion in one piece The head was enshrined at the top of the pile for everyone to see

While watching, I tried to ask a nearby large man a question

“Is slaying thedeal?”

The man I asked immediately turned around in surprise, and with a baffled expression answered my question

“Kinght-saiant basilisk appears ether a famous adventurer party needs to be employed or the fedual lords army has to be sent out Simply put, it take a lot of money to take even one of them down It seem that the poisonous meat can be dried and powdered to h”

Howback one…… But it would surely cause an uproar if I kill one alone and bring it back

I was conteroup separate from the normal crowd catches my eye

The group of metal armored soldiers are led to the center of the square by a civil officer-like ood attire The people around noticed it, and the noise in the square gradually died down, until only a fehispers could be heard

A pathway opened directly to the center of the square, and the group of soldiers and adventures faced each other

The man in the fine clothes was tall but skinny, looked to be in his ing his hair a bit the man stepped forward

“I am Buckle De Robert viscount and feudal lord of Rubierute, and this is Bosco Futran and Zetorasu Futran Which one of you acts as your representative?”

“Oh, r-right! We are the adventure tea』I’m the leader Masco!!”

Thethe heroic tale before strutted out the reply with a clearly strained tone The otherat attention

“Are you the people that killed this giant basilisk?”

“……, Y-Yes!!”

Zetorasu question seemed to horrify theout that small affirmation

“I heard that it was in the shallow part of the wind dragon forest Is that correct?”

“Yes!! It was located in the forest near Rata village!”

Huh? Didn’t I leave the one I defeated in the forest near Rata village

Is it possible, that the one I left unattended is the same one on the cart? However there was no evidence, and it’s not like I want to claiiant basilisk It could very well be the one that escaped

“A little while ago, I sao of theon forest……”

“What!? Is that true knight-sama?!”

The largeto myself

Naturally the loud voice caused everyone to i people to move out of the way

When Zetorasu noticed that the crowd parted by the loud voice, he eyebroitched a little as he challenge the statement

“And you are?”

“No not ht-sama’s unexpected commit caused me to speak……, it’s the truth!”

At the man’s words, Zetorasu looked at azes

“No, I only said that I reiant basilisks in the sao”

I couldn’t tell of the one here was the saot away, but……

The information I spoke throw the square into a whirlpool of noise at once The townspeople have been assured of both the reliability of the story and the ier

“Huh?! Idiot, there were two of them! Was it by chance!? Why didn’t you report this to anyone!? Why did you remain quiet until now!?”

Zetorasu criticized ry eyes

Even with such things said, I that was not fae the situation’s significance I didn’t worry because an the time the other one ran deeper into the forest, so there was nothing to worry about

“I saw the giant basilisks the first time However from the distance I was at I couldn’t tell if they was a threat or not”

In reality, it was the first time I had seen a real one I encountered several of the them I lost track of how many I saw

At ained a thoughtful expression Are you thinking about what to do in the future?

Is he thinking that the two giant basilisk were trying to conceive children? In the gaiant basilisk They were level 40-50 when they gained the use of poison spit, without that basilisk were featureless small fry

“We have to return to the 』I request that you co』to carry out reconnaissance! By all iant basilisk!!”

The people calm down at the declaration they heard It was probably a performance used to clear away the unease of the people

The victims of this whole event would have to be the 』 They couldn’t seem to for task for adventures to gain faht seem like a Godsend

However, each rim expression on their faces It see they wanted to pass on somehow or otherI wasn’t invited to join these particular event First of all, it’s better for s anyway

With Zetorasu in the lead, the 』are lead to the feudal lord’s mansion

If the feudal lords army appears the problem should be solved soon

Since I don’t want to have contact with men in power, it’s better that Iso, I turn away froate

Based on a preliminary survey, there is a shboring city is called Diento It was 3-4 days away by carriage

Since e is on my back, lets head there

But first a little peek at things over at Rata villageー
