10-harassment (1/2)

In the afternoon, I continued my work as a gatekeeper.

A number of merchants and travelers came to the gate.

The merchant had a permit, and the traveler was carefully inspected, but he was not suspicious.

Meanwhile, the sun was about to set.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the day.

Good. Well, I guess we'd better get going.

Mr. Lambda turned on his heel.

I was about to follow her when...

”Whoa. No, no, no. Zeke needs to stay here. We can't leave the gate unattended during the night.

Aren't you supposed to switch with the night watchman?

We had to switch shifts today because we had to. So we're supposed to be the night watch.

What about you, Mr. Lambda?

I've got a few things I need to take care of.

Mr. Lambda said.

”And you're a former B-rank adventurer, aren't you, Zeke?　You're a former B-rank adventurer.

It's not a good idea to abandon your shift without permission, is it?

Don't worry. They won't know. As long as Zeke doesn't tell anyone. Well, even if he does, there are plenty of ways to cover it up.

As if to remind her.

”I'm telling you, don't slack off.　If we allow any demons or villains to enter the city, we'll lose our heads.

”Oh?

Mr. Lambda said with a grin.

I'm sure you must be thinking this right now, Zeke.　”I bet you're thinking, 'This a**h*le boss is just going to force me to slack off on my own.

Was he aware of that?

I'm sure you're thinking, ”This is what a rookie is supposed to do, right?　When I was a rookie, I was even more unreasonable than Zeke.

Is that why he's trying to make up for it now?

I'll be checking in on you periodically. If you're slacking off or taking a break, I'll give you a hard time about it.

Mr. Lambda said with a grin, and left before me.

I found out later that she was being paid to take over the shift of the night watchman.

He was trying to force me to do the job from the start.

--Does he think it's harassment to make me guard the gate all night?

No way. .......

That's just not possible.

Because this is nothing to me.

I have no problem with being told to stand still for a week, let alone a day.

Now that I was alone, I went about my job as a gatekeeper as before. In fact, it was easier for me to be alone because I didn't have to worry about anything.
