Episode 39.9 (1/2)
”Are you sure about this, Lecan-dono.”
”What's this about.”
”To give the townlord's banquet a slip.”
”No one's give anyone a slip. I never said I would attend.”
”Well, yes, you did tell them if you feel like it.”
”Besides, it could be that they're gonna get back to me once the date's been decided. I don't even know when that banquet's gonna be held. There is no slip here.”
”That might sound reasonable to you, but it was supposedly a banquet to celebrate the dungeon conquest. It would lose its meaning without the guest of honor, you Lecan-dono, present.”
”Shut it. Go there yourself if you're so eager to.”
Which is impossible since they left Tsubolt yesterday.
”Okay, okay. I won't speak of it anymore. Still, it's a bit shame that we cannot have <Rafin's Rock Terrace Inn> vegetable for meals anymore.”
”Yeah.”
”Nark-san and Nell-san loathed to part with us, they were both teary.”
”Yeah. <Fire Arrow>.”
The <Fire Arrow> Lecan nonchalantly shot flew toward a tree growing on the side of the road and turned around to hit its back.
”Gyaa”
The chubby spy, Gwislan jumped out.
”H-how come that <Fire Arrow> curved?”
Lecan stared at Chubby's chest.
He had severely weakened that <Fire Arrow>'s output, even so Chubby's clothes didn't have a hole and he seemed completely unharmed. Those clothes may look worn-out, but they're exceedingly good equipment.
”What do you need.”
”So you're not going to give an excuse for shooting that <Fire Arrow>. You won't, will you. Fine fine. Well, y'see. I've gotta say my thanks to Chief at least, see. I'd also like to ask you something.”
Chubby said that he was hired and paid by Torog. However, after Torog's death, he testified against the knight commander, Torog's father's corruptions. He even informed the existence of hidden safe to the townlord's aide beforehand.
Haydent had asked Lecan if he saw Chubby during their conversation after the dungeon conquest. Saying that Chubby had disappeared after that day even though he still had lots of things to ask him. That day would be the day Lecan killed Orug, and the knights conducted a search on Benchara house.
”So who are you working for anyway.”
”I'm not working for anyone now. Finally.”
