Chapter 30 (1/2)

Peace after the Quest

When I woke up in the morning I realized that there was an unfamiliar reward in the grimoire.

What is this 《Curse》and when I asked Soulas.

「Because I sealed the demon, it seems that you can receive a spell according to the sealed demon's characteristics as a reward. It seems that this time's spell was 《Curse》」

She said it like it was someone else's problem.

Because both the name and the origin are scary, I think I will try it out after thoroughly preparing.

So just like that I went to the magician's guild as usual.

I wanted to work hard with my ma.s.sage business just like yesterday but there was one problem. That is…

「「Oh, Explosion King good morning! Yesterday was really amazing! It was the first time I saw that kind of magic!」」

I was surrounded by a bunch of stuffy men and received strange hospitality.

「Oi, to being with, was that suppose to be a praise…………」

「Y-You were praised so please cheer up Kouta-san」

Soulas who is eating next to me tried to cheer me up but I think my reputation is ruined.

Even today I was referred to as【Explosion King Kouta】or the likes and was called by such troubling nicknames.

Well, it was not a mistake that I became famous as I also seem to be known for my ma.s.sage work.

『This is the place where you can experience the stimulating ma.s.sage of the Explosion King!』

And that's how many curious customers came by.

Rather I am still in the middle of my ma.s.sage work.

「Iyaa, there was some rumors saying that if there was a line and you were too busy one might end up being blown up, I am sure glad you are free」

Well, the reason there is no line is because those kind of rumors are out there.

Though the regular adventurers and magicians still come by as usual.

「Etto, so the center of your back is good?《Shock》」

「Oou! As expected of the Explosion King's ma.s.sage! It packs quite a punch!」

「Why thank you……」

I wonder why. It doesn't feel like I am being praised at all.

「Why did I end up with such a nickname……」

「Iya, at that time Kouta-san was indeed very like a demon so I guess it can't really be helped? Somehow, I mean when you went berserk」

「If that's what you say」

Well, it can't be helped if that name is already attached. Let's just think of it as a positive for making me famous.
