Chapter 149: Request

Translator: Tseirp

Adventurers, Garba-san and Warabis who I honestly didn’t consider capable of contributing as combat strength were exterminating the monsters.

We plunged into the monster horde as if intending to run through them and while I didn’t touch anything at all, a mountain of corpses was formed.

The adventurers worked together to collect the mountain of corpses.

The scene was so terribly smelly that I wished for rain to fall and wash away everything but clear weather was spread across the skies so my expectations were dashed.

Therefore, I advanced while applying purification magic but, as to be expected, I couldn’t help but hold my head from the thoughts of the effort required to erase the unusual mountain of corpses and its smell at the very front line.

“Grulga!! You’re safe?”

Garba-san passed by in front of my eyes before I knew it and hugged Grulga-san.

Since he found out that his younger brother was on the verge of death immediately after he returned from Ienith, I believe many of the monsters suffered from terrible deaths.

It was obvious from the deathly expression on Warabis’s face.

He most likely kept Grulga-san’s slave Warabis around so that he would know when Grulga-san dies.

I could see that his thorough personality has been further polished since Ienith.

“Yeah. I was kept alive by Luciel.”

Garba-san reacted to Grulga-san’s words and looked over here as he thanked me with a smile.

He was worried about Grulga-san to the point that he did not notice my face just now.

“Luciel-kun, thank you so much for helping Grulga.”

“We help each other out in times of need. I was indebted to you in Ienith.”

He was making a seriously delighted expression but I felt that he was a really dutiful person as Grulga-san is my benefactor after all.

“That’s right. Everyone was sad that you couldn’t send us off. You did well to grasp the hearts of that many beastmen.”

” … That’s because of the help I received from the 2 of you.”

I confirmed the situation while still regretting bringing up the topic that I didn’t want to touch.

However, Garba-san looked at Instructor Broad with a sharp glint in his eyes.

“Moving on from that, Broad, it’s good that the Chimera was defeated but stop neglecting command and plunging into the fray to defeat it like that. It’s a nuisance.”

“You don’t have to glare at me like that. So, what’s the current situation?”

Shisho too … he most likely snapped when his companion Grulga-san became a bloody mass but I suppose that is a disqualification as a commander.

Well, I could immediately tell that Garba-san was not seriously mad.

Since I totally couldn’t sense any bloodthirst or anger.

Instructor Broad also understood that and quickly confirmed the situation.

As far as I could see in our surroundings, the people were no longer fighting monsters but seemed to be stripping off materials.

“Monsters are gathering from the surroundings but there aren’t any monsters that are that strong and the monsters that crawled out from the mine afterward weren’t anything special apart from their status abnormality attacks.”

It looked like the situation had mostly calmed down but are they still planning to remain in this location?

I complied to Instructor Broad’s commands and watched over the location.

“I see. So then, was that raccoon dog useful?”

“Uh huh … slightly?”

Warabis’s ability was to transform but he ends up instantly reverting to his original form.

I couldn’t understand how that would be useful so I interrupted the conversation.

“I desperately burned herbs that would dissipate the smell pu~. I didn’t want to be scolded anymore pu~.”

… Warabis who’s personality hadn’t changed much replied.

“Warabis, how is life as a slave?”

“There no way slave life would be comfy … wait, why is Saint-sama here pu~?”

Warabis trembled just from the words I spoke.

I was shocked as to why he trembled to that extent.

“I’m not a Saint, my term in Ienith ended so I returned to Meratoni.”

“It’s a nightmare pu~. Immediately after Garba returns, even the pale light emitting demon also appears …”

I couldn’t pick up on what Warabis muttered like a whisper but apparently Kefin and Cathy heard it and they directed sharp gazes at him.

I decided to stop devoting any more time and emotions into Warabis.

Then, I found the sealed door that I saw from a distance.

Why is it on a flat ground … I really couldn’t wrap my head around why it was outdoors as I confirmed the situation.

” … When did the monsters withdraw from this site?”

Instructor Broad and Garba-san reacted to my words and Instructor Broad replied me.

” … I wonder, the monsters came from Grandol so perhaps the adventurers there annihilated the monsters that were excited? The strong monsters from the mine have been defeated so I think this place will be calm for now.”

It can’t be helped that I asked as I don’t want to die.

Leaving that aside, what do we do about that?

There was only one choice for me to choose.

“For now, there’s no need to go around for healing duty right?”

“Yeah. It looks like somehow there aren’t any who suffered from any severe injuries. Why do you ask?”

“There’s a large door there but is there anyone who can see it?”

Everyone looked in the directed I pointed at but the reaction was extremely weak.

“Luciel-sama, don’t tell me?”

Kefin was the first to realize.

Lionel and the others also looked at me with surprise but I wanted them to know that I was the one who was the most surprised.

“Yeah. A sealed door.”

“Luciel, what’s there? What sealed door? Please explain in detail.”

I thought that as a guildmaster, Instructor Broad would know but apparently not.

I thought that it was fine to explain if it’s Shisho and I was about to speak but I saw Estia and Warabis so I stopped my explanation.

” … Firstly, I won’t talk with Warabis here. I can’t talk about this other than to people I trust.”

“I guess it’s a grave topic? If that’s the case, I’ll grab Warabis and leave.”

“Sorry Garba-san. Sorry, but Estia, could you leave too?”

“Yes. Understood.”

Garba-san grabbed the scruff of Warabis’s neck and left and Estia left following that.

I still didn’t think that I would not be betrayed by Estia.

I planned to convey to them official information besides information on the sealed door.

Before that, I decided to use pledges that I prepared in advance.

“Not only Instructor Broad and Grulga-san, I want everyone to pledge. The compensation is a few minutes of memories starting from now. You will instantly lose these memories if you try to tell this to anyone in any way.”

“Understood. I have a right to know as a guildmaster.”

Instructor Broad said that and everyone took the pledge.

After the pledges ended, I began explaining.

“The sealed doors are doors that connect to the location where the dragons are sealed at. After I dispel the seal on the dragon, a large magic stone will appear around here. Please promise that absolutely nobody will touch it. If you don’t keep that promise, everyone will die.”

” … I don’t really get it but is there a curse placed on that magic stone or is it something extremely important to Luciel?”

It’s indeed true that it can’t be helped if they think of obtaining the magic stone.

I would have had the same thoughts if I did not see that scene in the past.

“No … It’s just that the Evil God will appear and everything around the magic stone will turn into undead. That’s all.”

???!!!!

Including Lionel and the others who knew about the circumstances, everyone could not hide their shock when I affirmed that.

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be alright if we just leave that sealed dragon alone? If we do so then it will end with nobody dying right?”

“I’ve thought of that too but unfortunately, if we do so, the world would be overrun by demons and monsters before the hero is born.”

I knew that Instructor Broad is a good person but precisely because he is a good person that I had to put a lid on his wish to escape from the door in front of him.

I’ve also considered not talking about this to Lionel and the others.

Astonishment once again gripped the air as I gave a weak smile.

” … Why are you stepping into such a dangerous place?”

“Only because I dispelled the seal on a dragon during a natural course of events. From then on, I moved within the range of what I am capable of doing.”

I patted my chest and smiled.

” … I see. You’ve become a real adventurer without me noticing.”
