Nidome no Yuusha Chapter 11
The Hero Sing, Overslept, and Negotiate
「Lala～lan♪ lalan♪ la～lanlalalala ♪」
Morning . As the sky, colored black like shadows, slowly bleached, with a complicated lightly mood, I was humming a melody in an eerily enthusiastic manner which echoed within a room of an inn somewhere inside the royal capital .
「lalaa~, lalanlan♪ lalala~, lala♪」
In the end, because of the several difficult manufacturing processes, I had to reluctantly give up on going to bed that I’ve been missing over the last 3 months . Using my anger as the fuel for my vengeance soul, I gulped magic potions one after another and rushed the project .
Even after all the stuff that has happened, my body and spirit were fatigued, but it felt like they were saying 『Aren’t you enjoying it?』 as I spent the night immersing myself in manufacturing . The moment I finished the difficult part of the process, I fell into a weird trance . Although I didn’t need to drink the low-grade mana potions anymore, I drank all the remaining ones left, because my mind wasn’t working properly .
Even though I realized that my conscious state was in a dangerous situation, I rely on the adrenaline that was gushing out as I contemplated the modified necklace . Then, humming the rad*o train*ng music, I stretched my body . If I were to bathe in the sunlight, I should be able to relax from the high tension of the night work .
[Daily: Not sure why that was censored > . >]
「『You’re so loud!! Do you have any idea what time it is!!』」
「Uooh、so-sorry…」
Suddenly, there was a loud noise across the other room, and in an instant, I went back to my usual self again . Not only it was a long time ago since I stayed at an inn, but I also was all alone during my fugitive days, so I completely forgot about troubling other people .
This is bad, the inns at this level have really slim walls, so it’s quite possible that they have heard my moody singing . This is terrible; I want to die so badly, it’s really embarrasiiing!!!
「『I’ve been saying it over and over, shut the fuck up!!』」
After I dived into my bed and rolled over on it, my neighbor hit the wall once again .
It seems that I haven’t yet returned to a completely sane state . My creative ability has hit rock-bottom . Really sorry about that . Because I have fallen into despair, I’m going to sleep .
Although it’s been awhile since I have slept in a bed, I can’t allow myself to completely fall asleep and oversleep . I wanted to prepare a few things before leaving the city .
Even though the princess has ordered them to stay away from the summoning area until the next day, they should have already realized, and she should be receiving treatment right now . I believe that it will take some time to mend those injuries since quite some time has passed since then, but I want to leave the capital at the end of the day .
Seeing the bed with such a regret, I sat down and leaned beside the window where the light of the day could wake me up as I closed my eyes .
☆
I splendidly overslept, the end .
…… Well, it’s because I never would have thought that it would suddenly become cloudy . What about your first time? There is no way that I would have remembered about the weather of the day after the summoning .
That’s why the sun has already risen, and it should be approaching noon . Immediately, I checked out of the villa and decided to postpone preparations for my escape . Then, I ate something from a decent food stall and proceeded inside the slums .
It seems that the warning from yesterday served its purpose, since I was able to reach my destination without any hoodlums’ interference .
I passed the currency exchange shop while I was at it, but there were other staff who were attending the place . After they saw my face, they bowed in fright, so I decided to grin at them, but I wonder why they seemed to pale even more .
It’s not like I’m here to start a fight . Unless I have a reason that is .
[Daily: Yeah, wtf, I wonder why?]
As I reached the place where the gargoyles are set, as if yesterday’s event never happened (on the contrary, they’ve been slightly enhanced), I realized that I still don’t know the secret password .
Without any time to think, the gargoyles told me 「「Enter」」 . It’s great that they have already made some arrangements .
And then, after I reached Duphein’s base, the bodyguards from yesterday’s incident sent me piercing glances .
「It’s not like I’ll attack you unprovoked . Don’t be nervous, aren’t you bodyguards?」
While frowning my eyebrows, I talked to them while mixing in a sigh, but I wasn’t able to relieve them from their nervousness . Although it is the proper attitude, since dropping your guard in this slum could be lethal, it’s not on the level where being tense will make a difference, so I believe that it’s disadvantageous if you exhaust yourself being so tense .
When I went upstairs like yesterday, I found Duphein waiting with a smile on his face, and on his desk, there were 4 bags in which the gold coins were divided almost evenly . And inside the small one, there should be the remaining 40 gold coins .
「With this, there should be currency equivalent to 340 gold coins . Do you want to corroborate? 」
「There is no need . The one sitting in that chair isn’t someone petty and would take some of the money . 」
The real reason is because I considered it a hassle, but I decided flatter him halfheartedly .
「Without further ado, this is the necklace . 」
「I thank you from the bottom of the heart, I got something really valuable . Nh? Kh, this is… 」
Duphein, who received the necklace, seemed to realize something . I made sure to apply a disguise which could fool common alchemists and magicians, that’s why people with such a level of perception and intellect are hard to deal with .
