Vol 12 Chapter 235 (2/2)

The surviving party held suspicious the Guild had sold the to attack, was evidence enough

And of all things, they were quite wickedly broadcasting that fact all over town If the West Branch cut off a first class adventurer party, it would raise even more suspiciou

It was difficult to wipe them out, but in truth, one such party had already disappeared

Rued into a Beim factional war And because that wasn’t mistaken, it orst all the more Lyle truly was vicious towards the Guilf

“Nonsense… that’s nonsense! Do you understand what trials the West Branch will face because of your betrayal!? What’s that receptionist’s name!? Give me a name!”

Tahnia’s expression didn’t crumble as she clenched her fist The one who sold the info was Marianne She had obtained Guild docuh to be sure she handed them to Lyle

The East Branch’s executive let out a sigh

“Marianne of the private receptionist desks”

The South Branch executive turned an eye to the Sweeper behind hiuard, lowered his head, and left the roouards of the other branches were the same

The East Branch executive spoke

“Tahnia, you should be off too I’et to her, make it painless”

Tahnia lowered her head

“… Yes”

Tahnia left the rooside the other sweepers to clean up Marianne…

Before I could hear the explanation of this matter from Guild headquarters, I went to the Trēs House’s uard

“The e here”

It was as she said

The ee in order, the subordinates were taking a strange sense of distance fro within the same mansion

I waited in a waiting roo me to the parlor, Vera and Fidel-san came in

Fidel-san had removed his overcoat, and rolled up his sleeves He didn’t have his usual refreshi+ng air, but the sharp glint in his eyes was even greater than before

Frohted voice It was Milleia

『Oh? Is he the type that exhibits his best when cornered?』

When I thought of hoere the ones who cornered hih Vera and Fidel sat on the sofa, Fidel-san being the first to break the ice

“… It seems Beim decided to cut you off And while it looks like you’ve returned safely, there will be no change in that verdict At best, an exile froed in as well Do you have any excuses?”

He was saying it was my fault, but in most cases e In this specific case, I had ai to return

“I have no words to return It is just as you say”

Fidel-san’s eyebroitched

“I see Then I’ll have you work back our support in kind Our expulsion from Beim will be set in stone next merchant conference You seduced the Queen of Cartaffs, did you? Have her allow our use of her port And prepare a point for us to set up base Anywhere is fine Rusworth, or Galleria, or anywhere else”

If a stranger heard it, they’d be irrational requests But I had thought over them No, I had intended to do at least that much

“Understood In regards to the base, hold has a suitable plot of land I’ll prepare it there Ah, of course, I’ll hire workers, and get this and that in order I’ll also get permission for the port’s use”

Fidel-san’s eyebroere twitching up and down Since I had taken all of his conditions, on the contrary, he was suspicious

And when I accepted all his requests, he was h

Fidel-san closed his mouth, and Vera’s turn came But her expression wasn’t the best

“… Lyle, I can’t give you any satisfactory support fro to cut me off, then I’d like your decision soon I don’t want to be a burden”

All she could do ended here Saying that, Vera tried to back out

There, Milleia-san’s at as she spoke

『She does understand her value And it’s a good thing she knohen to opt out But that’s no good We’ll be taking you along to the end Lyle, otten hands on to rise higher… I’ll curse you』

Rather than the ancestors cursingme was several times worse It felt like that person’s curse really would work It felt like she would do any and all forms of harassment

I sat deeply into the sofa, and looked at Vera

“I see Then I’ll take all you have left, and bring an end to it”

Vera s a fist

“Yes, that’s a load off my mind”

I stood, approached, Vera, grabbed her arm, and stood her to her feed I put both my hands around her back, and embraced her, to rest my chin on her shoulder

Aria’s face went red

“… So he really has grown in this sort of thing”

Or so she said, as she averted her eyes Fidel-san made a conflicted expression

“I said I’d take everything You’re , just stay by my side I’ll always accept you”

“… Lyle”

Vera wrapped her arms around my back as well

Fidel-san spoke in an expression I couldn’t tell was happy of irritated

“Dahter away after using her, or feel embarrassed as a parent that I have to overlook this da her… why is it, when he isn’t like this, it’s like he’s not the daolo I know”

There, the Third seeued

『… Doesn’t it feel like Fidel-kun aiting for you to rile him up? This, I’m sure he was lonely because Lyle didn’t come to contest or rile him』

There, Milleia-san had some fun

『Quite right! Now, Lyle… rile Fidel-kun up I’otten at adding fuel to the flames!』

The Fifth, quietly

『… You guys really have some nice personalities there』

I thought a little, before whispering into Vera’s ear She had been on the verge of tears, but upon hearing that, she nodded

And touching a hand to her stomach, she looked at her father Fidel

I turned a smile to him

“Well, quite a bit happened, but let’s get along from now on, father-in-law”

When I said that as I wrapped a hand around Vera’s waist, Vera touched both hands to her stomach, and looked down

Having seen that, Aria took a step back and froze

“L-Lyle, you couldn’t have!”

Fidel-san fell from the sofa, and struck the floor

“So you’ll even take ht, you’re my enemy!! To the end of the end, I’ll drop you to the bottom of the sea!”

For so on the floor looked just a little happy, but I’d like to think the light was playing a trick on my eyes

When I thought I had succeeded, soh

『Lyle… that riling was no good A complete failure』

The Fifth see

『It was interesting That Fidel was really shi+ning his best But no, go die』

The Seventh seemed worried for me

『… Lyle, that sort of riling will cut down your life-span』

Milleia-san rejected it as well

『Just riling isn’t enough I can’t accept anything that aste you away You’ve still have a long tio』

I don’t really get what she was trying to say To me, the Third spoke

『Lyle, this ti you some pain to come, so resolve yourself Well, those sorts of experiences are i over you』

My first zero in a while

And with a bit of a red face, Vera spoke as if recalling so

“Oh right, Lyle”

“Hmm?”

“It see for the traitor, but are they related to you? If you aren’t quick, they ”

It seems my work in Beim had yet to end
