Vol 1 Chapter 14 (1/2)
An Easy Job, Where All You Have To Do Is Stand
What we subuild’s reception desk was a written request to adventurers
We had to pay the request fee and reward deposit, but like that, ere able to gather manpower
However, having accepted the fore and my face numerous times
“L-Lyle-kun… there’s no e is four days Just by participating, the reward is two silver The contents say they just have to stand at a designated point?”
It was natural for him to doubt it
The payment and the job level were completely out of sync
“There is no issue Also, about the nu on”
“Eh? Yes…”
Hawkins-san looked troubled, as he confirmed the numbers written on the form
“One hundred!?”
“We’ve the funds to reward up to two hundred, though In essence, our goal… is just to get them to stand around the entrance of an abandoned mine Also, I’ll pay the reward separately, and search for people on my own as well”
Hearing that, Hawkins-san confirain
『If it’s just as our intel stated, then it’s twenty or over Even if you call it overkill, the only onewill be Lyle Well, if you think of it as participating in a war, it isn’t a bad earning』
As the Third Generation said that, I experienced sos
(Working one day affordedout two silver for a two day job Still, if we don’t do at least that et a flood of applicants)
『Those blinded by , why don’t we?』
Still as an idiot son, though
Subjugating a few tens of thieves with hundreds must appear as a quite a joke to the residents of Dalien
That would definitely send my location to the Walt house… my family would definitely learn it Of course, the possibility they already had was high
But if I carried out foolish acts of this level, ould they think of it?
I really would be getting assassinated some day or another
(If it’s by Celes’s whi like that to happen)
Then after this joke… this idiotic brat’s struggle, ould happen then?
(In the end, this is all a gamble, isn’t it…)
As Hawkins-san wassure there were no deficiencies in the paperwork, I added on another thing
“Ah, right I wanted to ask you soht”
“Yes As long as it’s so I can answer”
Hearing that, I confirmed it with him
Naturally, Zelphy-san had no complaints
There was no way the guild would deny the request
(Because it’s always better to have more cards to play)

In front of the Guild’s first floor
In the space where hoards of people came and went, I made an address in a loud voice
“I am the Walt House’s… the for to eliminate the bandits that have made a nest near Dalien! Anyone who believes my cause is just, please volunteer!”
『Hey, your voice is too soft You can laugh if you want, so just make it dramatic here』
The Fourth Generation directed me, as I loudly publicized the operation
Ridiculously
I even invited sohter
“A noble’s bringing down bandits?”
“And wait, wasn’t he driven out…”
“Isn’t that because he’s no good?”
“Just leave whatever bandit problems to the lord”
“After the labyrinth’s over with, they’ll be back soon enough We just have to hold out until then”
While laughing sarcastically, the adventurers passed me by
There were souffawed as well
“Now is tiet desperate!)”
I endured the embarrassment and continued to call out to them

After I finished , I met up with Novem and returned to our rented house
In front of the entrance-way, a red-haired woly with her arms crossed
Her folded ar up her breasts
It wasn’t much different than usual, but today, I was lance at her chest before posing the inevitable question
“Um… do you have some business with our house?”
“Don’t givefrom earlier today!?”
‘Thing’ likely referred to
“Noell, the reward for subjugating bandits…”
“Lyle-sa”
As I became embarrassed from Novem’s flattery, Lockwarde-san approached me
Her long strides were not so I would think would come from a noble lady
“I was only asking you to lendas you did that, I’d ather an elite few to reclaieade will hear about it, will they not!?”
Novem responded
“Are you sure you aren’t ?”
“W-what? Ifun of that performance”
I acted exactly for that sake
Though it was not a mistake… but for some reason, I felt sad
“The reason we took action was precisely because we had our own reasons Or could it be… you were under the i action for your sake?”
On Novem’s harsh words, Lockwarde-san winced
I heard the First Generation’s voice
『U-uive her, is what I think Let’s all be friends, okay?』
The Second spoke up
『Just whose side is this guy on? There’s no particular reason to keep her in a pleasant ardless』
There was no doubt that em
Those were the conditions I needed to clear to gain the First’s assistance
However,to help her weren’t particularly er
This tiether was to get the First to recognize uarantee my own safety
“B-but there’s no ht!”
“… Then how about you take action?”
“Eh?”
Noveument was quite sound
“Zelphy-san accepted a guild request to act as our adviser Of course, we already paid the appropriate coht noe’ve entrusted another job to her, but we’ve properly paid the request fee”
“I-I do feel truly sorry for that But I don’t have that sort of sum to pay…”
