Chapter 19 Choosing Softhearted People
They have decided to sleep in preparation for toht at the entrance of the cave
Mira is on a journey froe to see the world, she said that she is now under the care of a village nearby
So recently, it would seeot poisoned by a monster and that won't last for 3 days since there is no ician that can use detoxification e, the antidote however is very expensive and cannot be bought easily with the er
The possibility of it appearing in this area is rare, the el Rabbit which has the skills to produce theto catch it alive in order to make the medicine, there in that area, where she bumped into me
The reason why it is captured alive is because it is ieneration skill I irl it is impossible
The deadline is until toer able to talk to Mira, about
Mira does not seeel rabbit which I have defeated, although I let it escape, I know that it is around here somewhere and that I can catch it tomorrow if she tells me to Only me and Butcher knows that it is impossible
The butcher did not receive compensation, I have to stay silent especially since this is in my information to sell Whether to tell Mira the truth or not is up to me
It is already so that I have taken down, there will be no such rare and convenient develop in the same area
I can make a cure for that child if you simply think about it That is all there is to it
(However, I rarely do so so simple)
If I rateful, the child will also be saved This undoubtedly is a good point I would like to do it if possible
But, of course it is iel Rabbit's skill is so rare that adventurers wouldon circuem Now I understand why the butcher even asked me to hunt it
I cannot deny that there is a danger that I will be targeted if others find out that I have the skill And the possibility of that is high
Right now I a it is but it goes without saying that it is an easy target
Making Mira keep quiet about this is absolutely i as the contract holds no coercive power like the butcher then there is no stopping anyone froless even if I borrow the power of the butcher The reason is because the Butcher's contract is not perfect
Although I do not know the reason why but there is a section that left a hole in the butcher's contract
I do not think that he purposely entered into a contract just so that he can intentionally deceive ht but in reality it was full of holes
Firstly, I cannot lie if I do not speak There isjust like what the butcher did In addition it would probably be safe if I just tell a part of it
If you think about it in this situation you can already assu malicious about this deceit, you may think that if you lie that you do not have any malice In this case I would not no choice but to defend myself
So many holes appear when you think about it a little It is close to i Even if you are able to make a perfect contract, I still would not trust it completely
If asked if I would help other people who are at risk of their life being targeted, forneither a hero nor a saint
Just to be clear I was originally a salaryman, that's me Like that I have decided to not burdenbroken myself There is no way that I can endure
In that case the answer has been decided I should keep silent as it is
Even though,
”Kuso!” (EN: damn it!)
What is this et it It is a sense of guilt, a resent more than a hypocrite
”It seems like a lot of trouble doesn't it?”
”Good grief, what do you want I have no ti with your jokes”
Looking back at that voice, the butcher as alas sneaking up from behind me
”I do understand the gist of your proble”
”I did not ask”
The butcher just kept on talking without even listening to my words
”Indeed when you take the Angel Rabbit's skill depending on circueted will increase As for this half this Skeleton suggests not entering considering the cos Your life is precious and that is why on this matter,you should not involve yourself with e”
It was unexpected that the butcher said thaton the situation run away but that was not the case
”How come?”
”You should understand it exactly by all ht?
So it is foresight isn't it?
”I know by your actions that you have a very hu by the fact that you want to help Mira-jou that you are a soft hearted person But, in this situation you have shown yourself to be a nice guy,you without a doubt will definitely be lost around this area No matter how much information you try to hide, it would just be ais revealed”
”Is there a difference if we go to that place and lend a hand?”
”To say it clearly,it would be tough If you go from here, the east and west is blocked by the sea and it would be impossible for you to cross the ton south since you are ais the desert up north but you are a slith cannot be compared now since it is a dry place This environment is suitable for sli water, so you can live without drinking water for a few days, but in the desert you would need a lot more water than a human You will probably not endure a few days “
The more I listened, the h to survive in such a harsh situation
“So, this time you should pretend not to have heard it This skeleton does not wish such a valuable custoo die in vain”
“I as”
If the butcher says so seriously, then there is a high chance that it will probably come true in the future
Then the answer is decided I do not want to die, that is without a doubt
Now that I think about it my body is unparalleled, but ile to live in this dog-eat-dog world I do best when I am alone, that is undeniable
So,
”Look, butcher”
”What is it?”
”Wouldn't it not be a problem if you store water in an item box?”
”What are you talking about? Please think about the environment not suitable in the first place and not try to solve the proble your power, eneht?
”Wouldn't we be able to e if you cooperated?”
”That may be so”
The butcher h voice He was clearly irritated
“Cooperation is not possible with Skeleton Merchants it is impossible to cover it all with just the price of the flesh of an angel rabbit Even if you pay for the price that matches then, then what?”
”For once, I think I ht have an idea”
Close to sophism, the ridiculous plan was proposed
”…… is this alright?”
I talk honestly as to not appear pretentious
”It is my flesh”
”Hai?” (EN: Yes? But more like Huh?)
“Iya, I said I will give my meat”
“… are youfun of this skeleton? Or do you expect to foolwhat I expected?”
I gently explained it to the angry butcher
