Chapter 13 (2/2)

「Un?」 (Callus)

「That said, I can’t really put out a reward The request, if you didn’t receive, I can’t give out the reward」 (Anette)

「Oh, yeah, there was that」 (Callus)

It’s noret a reward, even if I defeat athe quest

「What’s the matter?」(Anette)

「I wish I had the proof that I didn’t do it」 (Callus)

「Yeah, I don’t think so After all, they were all burned The evidence was still recognizable」 (Anette)

「Is that so……」 (Callus)

Anette looked apologetic

「Oh well, can you look for other jobs like that? I have to go in a minute」 (Callus)

「Are you in a hurry? Why is that?」 (Anette)

I told Anette that I needed money to rent a place

「Is that so Then how about this ー wait, never mind」 (Anette)

Anette took out so, then shook her head

「You want a place to live, right?」 (Anette)

「Ah」 (Callus)

「That old castle ー Daiseeiji (ダイセージ), you should claim it It is an abandoned castle without an owner Isn’t it fine to live there?」 (Anette)

「……ah」 (Callus)

「In a place without an owner, only those who has power can occupy it Like the ones the knocked out That’s why, the loser can’t coht?」 (Anette)

Anette’s suggestion, it sounded like an interesting proposition

I came to Daiseeji (ダイセージ)

There was a htly taller than a human, and castle in the center to be resided by the owner

The rest was just an empty plot of land

I remes, but they all disappeared without a trace

I don’t re the Flame Breath

So, I’ll be staying here……

I went around the inside the castle and its premises

I think this ht be nice

「Callus-kun」 (Claire)

「Senpai!」 (Charlotte)

I heard Claire’s and Charlotte’s voices

I saw the appearance of the two entering the castle

They approached, and listened

「How’d you knoas here?」 (Callus)

「Anette-san told us you’d be here when I went to the Guild」 (Claire)

「I also heard fro to stay here?」 (Charlotte)

「Ah, I think it be good as well」 (Callus)

「If that’s the case!」 (Charlotte)

Charlotte shouted

She was always enthusiastic, but this was the most enthusiastic she had been so far

「Do you mind if I also live here?」 (Charlotte)

「You, too」 (Callus)

「Yes! If you lend me some space somewhere, I’ll lay my tent there!」 (Charlotte)

「Ah, that’s right, it’s tent, so you can always move it freely」 (Callus)

「That’s right! Please! I want to be near senpai!」[5] (Charlotte)

I thought for a moment

Just then, Claire spoke

「Callus-kun, I……can I also move here?」 (Claire)

「Claire, too?」 (Callus)

「Yes, can I?」 (Claire)

I though a bit further

There’s a whole lot of land Even if there’s a fence surrounding it, it’s still as big as a soccer court

It’s perfectly fine for them to live here

Rather, isn’t it more enjoyable?

……un, it ht be so

In my castle, two more people would live here

I have never iined it before, and I can’t put it into words, but I feel that this ht be fun

「Alright, you two could move here」 (Callus)

「Thank you!」 (Claire)

「Thank you so much!」 (Charlotte)

They both thanked me with a smile

Thus, a new life where I obtained a castle begins
