Episode 25.3 (2/2)

Litton Unit, being severely understaffed, has been borrowing half of Gobaz Unit men, but even that wasn't enough in the least. Gobaz Unit filled in the missing personnel with youngsters who have no battle experience.

Due to this situation, Vouka Town's adventurers, even the retired ones, are being mobilized to help in every part of the town.

”Umm. Maybe I could help?”

”We'd like to. We'd really like it if Eda-san helped. But.”

In fact, Eda has helped them before.

But when she tried to mediate a brawl, both parties would see her as nothing more than a young woman and completely ignore her. Strength-wise, even those big burly men are no match to her, but it's not like she can beat them up every single time.

She's also a first rate bodyguard if you take her combat prowess into account, but she unfortunately doesn't look the part. Craftsmen flew into rage when she was introduced as their bodyguard.

The one they need right now are scary-faced adventurers.

”And therefore, Scary-faced Lecan-san. Lend us a hand please.”

”Not sure how you come to that conclusion, but no.”

Aira went back to the association while being half-seriously in tears.

”Lecan. Don't you feel sorry for her?”

”One or two additional power won't make any difference in this situation.”

”But like, Lecan alone is like having dozens of people helping.”

During dinner, a messenger from town lord came for Lecan.

The town lord asked him to visit his mansion tomorrow.

Lecan gave his affirmation.

Lecan is a bit hesitant to proactively come there due to the way they parted ways the last time. But he doesn't mind going if it's the town lord asking for his presence.

Still, wonder what business he's got with him.

If it were an emergency, he would have been told to come right away even during dinner.

If it weren't, it should have been awkward for the town lord to call Lecan after what happened.

Lecan thought about it, but he couldn't come up with anything.

Imagining what other people think is not Lecan's strong point.

That night, the murky feeling in his chest wouldn't go away even after Eda cast

on him. He drank some strong booze before going to bed.
