(But seventy percent, is it? I was prepared for eighty to ninety, but I wonder if Gastone-san and co were able to do well)

Leaving the fortress behind us, we returned to Beim
I iht my feet to the Trēs House’s door I had to make rounds to all the houses that backed us, but there was also so I had to report to Vera
When I entered the mansion, Vera raced over
“Lyle! You’re not injured, right! If you are, I won’t forgive you!”
Accepting her eave a bitter ser sister Gina, and Gina’s boyfriend Roland, watching us from a little ways away
Milleia-san perhaps surveying the surroundings…
『… Fidel-san isn’t here It’s a bit of a shaain You can’t iht up for that』
The Third spoke as it to console her
『It’s alright We’ve got as many chances to stir hile, ‘father-in-law’ is enough to e cross the liot』
These ones really do have terrible personalities
And I etic face to Vera In all seriousness, I really was sorry The ancestors convinced ht, so I followed along
“Um, I’m sorry… well, I couldn’t take the cannons back Beiuns and gunpowder as well I’m sorry”
There, Vera burst into rage
“I don’t care about so like that I can just have h Or were there any other injured?”
When I said there weren’t any serious injuries a my party members, she looked relieved
Seeing the scene, the Fourth
『… Yep, I think Vera-chan resembles my wife, just a bit』
The Fifth spoke nostalgically
『This thorny kindness definitely does remind me of mama』
He said
And the Seventh opened hishimself
『Now then, froht the day would coive thanks to Beim’s adventurers and merchants Lyle, it’s fun time!』
Ignoring the high-tensioned ancestors, I told Vera the just of our defensive war

… At the Guild’s , Fidel slammed a document down on the table
His opponents, the Guild’s executive personnel, were shaking before one of the top merchants of the city
Fidel had heard the circuht to the ones that had dispatched that free knight, Beiuild headquarters
The forms were proof that the cannon and heavy weaponry had been borrowed fro to be reluctant to return them, the man had personally written them up himself
“Did you read the until you’re sure there are no proble you all need to keep mindful of as well”
The Guild executives sat in their chairs, and triedthemselves look smaller
“E-even if he didn’t know, for a free knight to thoughtlessly do so like this…”
In regards to the executives that had begun to make excuses, Fidel erupted His e
“Who told you to give an excuse!? What I’ is how you plan to take responsibility! Just how much value do you think your excuses hold?”
The executives were likely loathing those free knights they had dispatched already Even if they were called knights, they were former soldiers and adventurers
The Guild took care of such ement, while merchants could hold private armies and maintain military power separately
Meaning the Guild had basically unlawfully seized the equipment of Fidel’s own private army
The executives all apologized at once
“We offer our deepest apologies! We shall retrieve and deliver it at once!”
But Fidel wasn’t satisfied
“That was so loaded onto one of our company’s shi+ps You mean for us to sail the seas unarmed? I’m sure you’ll reiht? I was preparing to set out as soon as I heard the borrower had returned, yet it turns out it wasn’t broken, but stolen Of course, there’s a problem with the one I lent it two, but you also have fault for stealing it”
The contract held that if Lyle broke them on the battlefield, he wouldn’t have to pay reparations Fidel thought so like that wasn’t much a problem
But if he could squeeze money out of another party, it was a different story What’s more, this time, the Guild hadn’t been of any use He had his dissatisfactions at the back at them
One of the executives
“… We will take charge of your losses on our side”
And Fidel spoke in discontentment
“He was more a thief or bandit than a co Fortress Redant? It doesn’t look that way tosomeone a little more decent next time? That’s an important transport point I think it’ll be too late once a problem’s already happened”
The Guild staff immediately replied
“Yes We’ll send talented personnel at once The dispatched commander will receive a harsh penalty, so could this matter be…”
“Very well But having others knoas stolen froht of e rumors too?”
“T-that is true”
With those words, Fidel made a smile
“Yes, I’n this form”
When he took out another document, the executive officers’ faces stiffened
“Let’s uns for the fortress’ defense In exchange, I’ll have twelve new cannons and guns made for my shi+ps, and the Guild will shoulder the cost”
The true number of cannons handed off at the fortress was ten There wasn’t a man here that knew that fact, so they silently nodded
Watching the Guild officers sign, Fidel nodded with a smile
“There really were a lot of problems this time around But I don’t , I’ll advocate for you”
There, they gave their thanks
“T-thank you for your consideration”
“Just how can I thank the Trēs House I’ll definitely return the favor”
“We will prepare the funds at once”
Inside, Fidel thought…
(… More than this lot, that gigolo puts up a greater resistance Rather, that daot the tenacity of a cockroach)

As I walked through Beim’s streets with Eva, I recalled the previous events, and made a tired expression
Putting htly turned my head
“I can’t get used to that atmosphere back there”
The scene I reated on my life experiences and sentiment on the battlefield I couldn’t help but wonder just where their zeal was co from
After talking quite a bit, I paid the elf tribes that had taken part, and saw off their departure from Beim
I’ elf troupes that joined in would avoid Bahnseim and spread around the continent in no time
Eva delightedly walked to my side
“Did soood happen?”
She stopped in her tracks, and made a pose as she spun around She was a beauty, so itpeople stopped, looked at her, and laughed
“The truth is, a nuhter of the Nihil tribe leading the elves, my name shall be carved onto the slate of history!”
Rather than feel e her nahted The fact her personality was the polar opposite of e on my face
Letting out a sigh, I walked with Eva towards the mansion
“Well, as long as the rumors spread, all’s well”
She sent a wink at me
“It’s alright This time’s events were flashy, and historic, and what’s more, we even paid travel expenses and rewards, so I’m sure they’ll happily spread the tale But up to now, you always said you didn’t want to be sung of, or recited, so what’s with the sudden change of heart?”
As Eva tilted my head, I looked up at the sky
“Well, it became necessary, so I put it to action That’s all it is But…”
“But?”
“… Maybe you really will be telling my hero’s tale someday”
When I quietly said it below audible level, Eva grabbed my shoulders, and pulled
“Hey, what is it? Say it properly Don’t leave ”
Pulled by Eva, I laughed, before taking her hand, and leading her all the way to the mansion
Milleia (・∀・): “Lyle receiving cockroach treative it!”
Third Generation Head ヘ(゜∀゜ヘ): “Quite right (lol), so next ti him especially hard (lolol)”
Milleia 。゜(゜´∀｀゜)゜ノ: “I just can’t wait (lolol), and wait, the people of Bei tears to my eyes”
Fourth Generation Head (): “It’s true They give us equipive us fame Speak ill of them, and the Goddess will punish you (lol)”
Fifth Generation Head ( ゜д゜): “No, it really is true Just howto us? They do it even if they hate us”
Seventh Generation Head (・A・): “But in the end, we’ll definitely be parasiting… no, Ithem There’s not a hint of compassion in that”
Lyle (;´-｀)。ｏO(It’s a good thing I didn’t have a Growth this time, but all I did today was tattle to Vera… the one who really olo)
