Vol 10 Chapter 188 (2/2)
“… I believed in you”
Marianne filed that form with a shameless attitude, and handed an envelope over And after snatching it from her hands, Erhart’s party left the counter
Seeing them like that, Marianne lowered her shoulders in relief
Tanya immediately came to Marianne’s side
“Marianne, you’ve been summoned”
Thinking she’d really screwed up, Marianne ht to her superior’s room
Tanya took over the counter in her stead, and kept the adventurers company…

… The superior’s room
Hearing Marianne’s report of the circury
“Marianne, I had thought you more clever than that If they wish for it, what har an adventurer party or two to the front lines? It’s nothing you should feel responsible for”
Marianne cast her eyes down
As she reported to her boss, he was shtly
“You’re… right Even so, when I watch over thes boil up Those children still have futures ahead of the them die here is…”
Perhaps her superior understood her sentih
“It’s precisely because you’re like that, that you’re in charge of the new recruits But today’s uy to stop them, it will beco you man the desks on the third floor No more newbies for you… do your best in your new post”
On her superior’s words, Marianne felt like crying again Not from joy But as she felt they were about to come out, she held a hand to her mouth
“… Thank you very ht to it”
After giving such a reply, she left the room…

… With her work reaching a good point to go off shi+ft, Tanya headed for the break room, and ran into Rühe
“Ah, good work, Tanya-san!”
Bright and energetic, she took a bit of an oversized attitude towards her superiors, but she knew not to do that to those she couldn’t oppose at all costs
And she was skillfully spending her days at this workplace
“Likewise How are things going on your end?”
When Tanya sat and asked, Rühe gave a delighted smile
“We’ve safely et adventurers to dispatch to the iood one, and if I was the one asking, then… they said”
Seeing her speak so pleasantly, Tanya recalled Still young, the generation that hadn’t experienced the last ra Labyrinth
That was the age Rühe was part of
“… So when I asked an adventurer I knew really well, he took it on! Said there was soot back!”
Froot on considerably ith that adventurer And hearing that, the veteran receptionists sent eyes of sympathy her way
Tanya had a general estimate of what sort of man that adventurer was An adventurer classified as proficient, but in the sense of how the Guild perceived him, that was
If you were to ask hi, he would only shake his head
Rühe struck up a conversation with Marianne
“Even so, could it be you’ve finally reached your li but ulterior lances, after all You have my sympathy”
What Tanya, and the other senior adventurers remembered as they looked at Rühe, was Marianne
When she had only just become a receptionist, she had been beautiful and kind, and popular And with all the flattery she received, she had taken on a Rühe-esque behavior
Tanya thought
(I do pray you don’t become the second Marianne, Rühe)
As the Guild was eneration shi+ft taking place in the office…

Redant Fortress
As I stood on a high point of the structure, there were flags around There was one of Beis of Zayin, Lorphys… and the Walt House as well
That flag that took after the Blue Jewel being hung fro I made of my own accord
Wearing blue arht arm, and turned
The nuathered were just over twenty six thousand It was lower than estiht that couldn’t be helped
And as thesun rose, I saw a black shadow on the other side of the horizon An army of monsters
“Gentle this: ‘Why is it that we must bet our lives for the likes of Beim?’ … ‘Why should we listen to the orders of a whelp like me’ …”
I wrung out a loud voice, holding out my left hand The armed army remained in silence
“This fight It truly is only for Bei with the breach of this fortress as a pre my call to dispatch adventurers, they concentrate their powers on defense of the city, and only send adventurers and mercenaries to the points they deem important!”
Yes, quite a terrible tale there Of course, I’m sure Beim had a lot they’d want to say in response, but there wasn’t anyone from Beim here, so that wasn’t a problem
I didn’t lie either
“It truly is unfair You who pledged your lives to your ht for the sake of soht to abandon Bei from the sidelines!? It isn’t just Beim who shall be unreasonably trampled down by monsters! All the people who live on these lands shall suffer the same fate! And I cannot permit that!”
From the Jewel, I heard the Fourth’s voice
『Yep, looking good You’ve got to rand proclamation here on how you’re different from Celes』
Milleia-san chimed in to shoot him down
『Even if they’re different, this is still quite dubious He isn’t lying, but he isn’t giving the whole truth either』
This address… it’s not like it was only directed to the soldiers alone More than that, it was athered here
I’ hard, but Bei to appeal
As I continued the address, I pulled a sword that looked the part froed sword for appearance’s sake I pointed it at the heavens, and wrung out my voice
“If fate is to lie in this plight of mine, the Goddesses will surely answer to it! Here I swear, I will protect this point for the sake of the people to be trampled underfoot!”
At the moment, May raced down fro up watched the quilin, and raised their voices
“O-oy! It’s a quilin!”
“No way Could this really be fate…”
“It couldn’t be, no it has to be…”
“We can win We can win this!”
“Yeah, there’s a quilin on our side!”
(As expected of the syood fortune)
I had concealed her existence up to now, but opted to use it here
Favorable opinions started to come out Naturally, they were shi+lls The ancestors didn’t loosen their hands on these finer preparations
As May descended to my side, the soldiers raised cheers of joy I could see the oing to reach me up here
“We have the grace of the Goddess! Our fortress of Redant shall be the graveyard of those vile legions! Just follow my lead!”
When I raisedsonificent
(da them leaves a bad taste in my mouth)
