Because Janitor-san Is Not a Hero

The eightieth day of the white moon.

When the collectors were being forced to cooperate by the brave in one of the rooms of an inn, it was announced in Marnova that the brave men would participate in Operation Thief Skeleton Crusade.

Marnova, a majority of whom are Sandras, boiled heavily at the participation of brave men who have captured numerous criminals since their descent as brave men.

Sandra is a monotheistic religion that believes in the Sun God, but 10,000 years ago it is told that the brave Mid, said to be the Son of the Sun, defeated the Demon King and saved this world. In addition, the Holy Book of Light, written with Sandra doctrines, commandments, history, and more, had a statement that a brave man would descend 10,000 years later, and the Sandra, overlapping it with the brave man summoned to the album, believed in the brave enough to go to the end.

Citizens of Marnova pretended not to know that it was something similar when they preferred heroic colors, such as the trivial bad reviews of the luge they could hear.

And at the same time as the announcement, the city becomes strict.

Initially, considerable vigilance had been stepped up, but from today onwards the examination will be ostensibly strict. Due to the nature of a trading city, Marnova stepped into heightened vigilance, as promised to the former commercial union, now that the merchant's opposition prevented him from increasing his vigilance for a long period of time but refrained from raiding the thieves Skeleton ten days ago.

After Luge had left, the leftover collectors had removed the inn and reclaimed the room to the inn where Akikawa was staying.

When we got to the room, the collector asked.

"What are you going to do?

Akikawa sat in a nearby chair and urged the collector by hand to sit as well.

As the collector sat on the edge of the bed, Akikawa bowed his head roughly.

"I'm sorry I promised to keep the information secret"

"You let that man know?

"I don't know if you can believe me, but no. He came to this city about three days ago, but by the time he showed up at the State Chamber of Commerce, he already knew about Mr. Zao. I told him to take part in the crusade in exchange for secrets of information, and he couldn't do anything about it, so he came here to ask me for help in disgrace."

The collector was finally good at why Akikawa, who wanted to keep the information secret, appeared with a luge who seemed to be in the opposite position.

If you are telling the truth,

"Please,"

"Excuse me, I hope you can help me wherever possible"

"He didn't seem to think so, though?

"... sorry, no"

Out of impatience and frustration, I said something to blame, but Akikawa is not responsible.

The treasurer himself was only found by a brave man hostile to himself.

"No, I'm sorry. You didn't have any responsibility.... What kind of guy is he?

"No, because it's a question of the whole summoner"

The issue of the luge, which has forced cooperation with the collector who has certainly been found, I cannot say enough.

It had to be said that Akikawa had become a watchdog by accepting the imposition of cooperation instead of concealing the information of the collector, or that he had been involved in the problem of the collector and the luge.

But that's not why it's irrelevant. There is a collector and a luge at the great branch of the summoners.

As for Akikawa, I couldn't possibly be standing by with my fingers clasped without doing anything.

"- Mr. Luge is one of the students who became independent in the first period.

He has successfully used his protection and has become an agent to catch internationally nominated arrestors. I'm a so-called bounty hunter. However, as an identity, we are part of an album policing organization, so it is in the form of an agent. "

"That's why I came to Marnova, where I received a notice from Skeleton the Thief," he said. Didn't you know that up front?

"I didn't know that until we faced each other at the Chamber of Commerce embarrassingly.

Previously he was sipped boiled water by a thief skeleton about twice, and since then he has been blind to any thief skeleton cases. So this time I was totally surprised. I heard you were chasing another bounty neck... "

"Did you get out too?"

Akikawa looks like trouble again and scratches his hair's scarce head.

"I guess you're more alert than you've been let out.

He's very good as a bounty hunter, but somewhat, no, there's been a lot of overdoing. Do you feel that instead of missing the little evil, you root for the big evil? I have clashed with Mr. Ichihara several times from a method that I don't even hate for that sacrifice, and I went to stop him once. Because of that, Mr. Ichihara and I seem to be on guard. "

"He said he'd stopped him once, but if he tried to get the information out of him somewhere, could you stop him? No, are you willing to stop?

"I'd like to stop it as soon as I can, but I can't.

I hope he's independent, but he's not on either the Hayats or the anti-Hayats, he's just a bounty hunter. The current situation is that neither faction pinches its mouth because it is producing results and is abandoned because it is not particularly harmful.

Because of this, there are people like his boss at work, but for whatever reason, there is no such thing as being able to suppress his behavior without question. I think it would be quite difficult for information such as this one to say that Mr. Ichihara can be stopped by exercising his strengths if he is strong.

Of course, it's possible to stop the power of the upper echelons, but that doesn't mean you don't pass the information on to the upper echelons, so it's the end of the line. "

"Suppose. Assuming there was some information going on with that superior, what would happen to me?

Akikawa, who always had nothing but a sorry face, looked up,

"... the collector was right not to be named"

I said that in a bitter voice.

Lies, betrayals, threats, and assassinations.

Akikawa saw and heard so much about his hand that he did not like it by complaining to the album as soon as possible, and the summoners rushed around with their poisonous fangs.

It is only Akikawa's guess that we have seen those things, but he said that there will be a fierce battle between the Hayats and the anti-Hayats at a time when the existence of the brave, unprotected men who have been stolen by the Hayats to protect them will be known to the anti-Hayats.

Hayats who want to defend their brave related rights move to protect their collectors, but if protected, they are forced to testify like Hayat is good, and after testifying, they may be imprisoned or assassinated not to flip the foreword.

The anti-Hayat sect will aim at the figure of the treasurer, putting a net on every organization, and behind the table and the treasurer will be pursued. If they do, they will be forced to testify, imprisoned or assassinated for nothing.

Either way, it could end up being difficult to live.

What will become of the summoners?

The authority of the brave is lost. Sandra religion, which has defended the brave until now, and the general public become distrustful, though not everything.

Savior, naturally because the brave man who was heard to be a righteous brave man is actually a thief.

Brave men are dangerous, a man who wants to put on a collar, a man who wants to kill his breed, that is, the personality of a brave man, and other forces who want to put him under complete control are strengthened, and preferential treatment for brave men is also reviewed, and the negative side of what has been done so far erupts. What has been previously acquiesced in, what has been overlooked, will be exposed to the day.

The struggle for power will intensify, targeting brave men with diminished influence, and more people will fall zero now than ever before.

There was a bitter air.

But it also takes freedom as a keeper. I wanted to hear what I could ask.

"Why would he do something that would make the summoner in a bad position? You're going down on yourself, too. What good would it do to discredit the Hayato?"

"He doesn't belong to either faction, and he just has the power to live without having to rely on the name of a brave man. To some extent, I can do whatever I want.

But now, if anything, Mr. Ichihara is trying to keep him contained and from letting him do whatever he wants, and there is a part of the government that supports Mr. Hayato that is silent on that. So if Mr. Ichihara's powers are weakened, he may think he can move freely. "

"... you think he's keeping his mouth shut about me?

"At least you'll protect it until the crusade is over. After that..."

"... on what grounds?

"I'm not proud of you, but I am. He's pretty alert to me, so as long as I'm nearby, I won't be trying to get information out.

Happy or unhappy, there is no easier means of communicating information in this world than mobile phones. There are only a limited number of means, including the secret ones, so I can explore the movement of information on anything.

To be exact, here's me, on the album side, my wife, though. No, don't worry, my wife is definitely an Albumian, but she will never do anything to my detriment. She's a wife I've never had enough of.

And that's why I can't stop the information, but I can halve the value of the information. Besides, if he circulates information that could be a crisis for the summoner and I grasp the evidence of it, many summoners will become hostile to Mr. Luge.

He doesn't want either of those. Because you should want to sell information at the best time and get a lot of rewards without buying grudges "

Akikawa continued with a troubled face, explaining so.

"But I also can't do anything about it until I'm convinced that the information on the collector has really flown to the anti-Hayats. We don't have any sources or children to spill information to prevent it from spilling."

As soon as the collector said so, he shut up.

The collector was thinking about what to ask the rest, but Akikawa assumed that the collector was in distress and suffering, and asked what was to come.

"... what are you going to do?

"... is there any other way besides to cooperate in anything you do? You can't defy the power of a brave man. I don't even know what they're capable of. Then I can't wait to escape.

If what you're saying is true, at least we won't find out until the crusade is over. I'll think of something by then. "

"He's just applying the power of protection to discern if he's a brave man or not, so it's possible to escape in itself. However, after that, the collector..."

Akikawa explained Luji's protection by saying so.

The collector had no hesitation in leaning his neck inwardly toward Akikawa's attitude of speaking student information.

Invisible Hand.

It was Luge's protection to manipulate two invisible hands.

The palm of an invisible hand is large enough to hold a man, and he says he can switch and use his hand as strong and strong as a giant soldier that does not interfere with all matter like a ghost.

The giant soldier's hand is used to attack, but also acts as armor by letting Luge grasp himself. The effective range of attack is within sight, but the farther away it gets, the more power it attenuates.

Haunted hands do not interfere with matter and therefore do not have any attack capability, but when used in crowds and other places, invisible hands could be used without taking into account those around them. On the other hand, it was also possible to discern the brave or not by using their nature to touch people from one end to the other.

"It is also the power of his protection that has made it clear that the Zao is in this inn.

It is presumed that it is something that can be said for the entire protection, but the power, speed and performance of the protection will vary depending on, for example, the mental state of the brave. It may not be entirely correct, as it is speculation from the data and information collected as soon as it is summoned to it. "

The collector looked at Akikawa surprised as he heard the explanation.

"Why are you talking so much about your students? If you try, you should be protected, right?

Akikawa looked familiar with something.

"... if you're going to step off the road and put many summoners at risk, you just can't shelter yourself. Besides, I'm the same summoner as the collector. I don't know what you think you can do, but there are only seventy-nine Japanese in this world. Wouldn't it be natural to want to cooperate if you could?"

But I said so without hesitation.

Akikawa was trying to convince the collectors.

Protect Luge from Luge by working with his collectors and exploring Luge trends.

To that end, he undertook the surveillance of the collector. Luge also apparently wanted to establish a cooperative relationship, which he acknowledged. Inexplicable, but convenient for this one.

In the meantime, persuade the treasurer.

That was the best way to keep it round without bleeding.

I've tried to convince Luge many times since I came to this world, but I didn't try to listen.

Irrational, but it is easier to get good to compromise than to turn evil into good.

We couldn't lose the irreplaceable while we were turning evil into goodness.

I naturally assumed the worst, but if there's anything I can do before then, I'll do it.

I wanted to do both the freedom of the collectors and the safety of the students as much as possible.

"I don't even think he'll keep his word. So there's only one way..."

"- Join the Ichihara clan, fully support him, and declare that the escort was given to Ichihara clan. then be judged of the facts and prove that the words are not false"

Akikawa looked surprised.

Akikawa was surprised that the collectors were contemplating a settlement with Hayato, who stole his protection, but that was just what he didn't say.

"... did you know about the referee"

"You know no matter how much information you're oblivious to if it's all that rumor."

The Zao thought vaguely after being targeted for his life by a brave man in Snow Mountain, but being blackmailed brought up in him as a realistic option.

Still, I can't say it's completely safe, but it was the most sensible option in the current situation.

"Bye -"

Akikawa looks somewhere relieved, but made his expression strong on the next word released by the collector.

"- But I can't do that"

The collector also knew that it was a sensible and best option.

But the keeper could not forgive Hayat.

No matter how much I tried to forgive you, I could never forgive you deep down in my heart.

If we were to be judged for facts in that state, our necks and torso would definitely be separated.

"What is it, really?

"I can't help myself with all this"

……

I know Akikawa.

Hayat did an unforgivable thing.

What happened in that white space was as unrealistic, and at the time Akikawa couldn't understand how serious that act was either.

But I realized the seriousness of this world as I was summoned to continue my life.

The inhabitants of this world use magic as if they were hands and feet. With some training, anyone, easily, has the power to kill people.

What would have happened if the Japanese had been summoned naked, which was an event in a country even far away from gun society in such a place?

The summoners were restrained and sucked up their knowledge, which could have been the material for the worst human experiments. Because there is all sorts of unknown knowledge, tools of politics, experimental animals and other uses.

The summoner was protected because of the supposedly divine blessing (Providence) that Mido the Brave, the object of Sandra faith, had.

The power that took less time to master than magic allowed me to defend myself.

It was by no means a smooth sail to be caught up in a power struggle or a darkness between nations or to be treated differently in each individual, but I could not say by mistake, such as I wish there had been no God's protection.

Hayato has taken away such power.

Though the summoned place is different, the hardships of a collector summoned to this world almost indefensibly are immeasurable.

It is only natural that we cannot forgive.

But...

"Are you going to live alone, never forgiving Mr. Hayato and without engaging with the summoner?

"Not that I'm alone. There's snow and white, and there's Azlona. It's not like I don't even know you."

"Isn't that... a warcraft"

"Yes."

What's wrong with it because it's a warcraft.

That's what the collector's face told him.

"... will you forgive Mr. Ichihara?

"I don't know what else to do. That's fine if you stay out of it. But when I forgive you from the bottom of my heart, I can't now."

It is a word I heard just before Akikawa left the room of the treasurer.

Indeed, it was easier to get good to compromise than to turn evil into good.

If he's alive, he'll be blemished. Sometimes nothing can be done right.

But there was also a part of goodness that never bent.

That unbending part is also the reason why good is good.

The collector had a good part of it.

There is such a strong goodness that it does not resemble the qualities of the person.

Excess goodness calls for doom.

Akikawa imagined a brutal end as he walked down the inn's slightly dark corridor.

It is a cursed end to spit on.

I'll run out of hands before that happens.

Thinking so, I couldn't shake off what I once imagined.

The next morning, the collector had been in bad physical shape since the morning, but today he had to go to the Hunter Association and take a forced request.

The collector joined Akikawa at the Inn's dining room for breakfast and headed to the association.

As Luge had said, the association had already spoken, and the rank returned to the seven stars (Rubinitia) and the fine was also returned.

The collector stares at the tag returned to the official.

I have no particular emotions. Instead, now, the seven stars inscribed on the tag were just abominable.

The fact that Akikawa had somehow to talk to an association official meant that they would wait until that official's time was free, and the two sat in a chair in the corner of the association lobby.

"By the way, what happened to Vanis?

"I'm asking Mr. Vannis to explore Mr. Luge's trends."

"... can he do that kind of covert work?

"Even though I'm retired, I'm formerly a holy knight, so he does everything the way he does. Thank you very much because it's a tease."

"You can't afford this city with all that fighting power."

"My position in this crusade is adviser. I belong to the album, so it can't even stand out. Well, is it a guy named Ments between countries? It's very complicated because it's also going to take the Ments of Marnova there..."

That's how he spoke of the environment surrounding the crusade operation with a tired face.

Situated in the southern part of the Mid continent, the Eurifranz Republic was formed when autonomous cities came together.

Let the vast majority of the people not collide with the Sandra religion of faith, making those who are said formally to draw the blood of the brave mid the royal family of decorations, and in fact the representatives of each city were conducting politics on a council system.

For that reason, his focus on the Crown was also weak, and he abrogated the Crown lightly even in the magical revolution of two hundred years ago, transferring to democracy as soon as possible alongside the Albaum.

But from the time of its founding to the present day of its transition to democracy, the authority of a large city was strong, and it also stripped the Eurifranz government of its fangs in order to protect its authority.

Order by the government to lift the dragon mountain blockade.

Marnova didn't like this.

The order to lift the blockade is to counter the thief Skeleton, but as Marnova, there were no sardines forced on the government to do so.

The Dragon Cavalry, which was blocking Dragon Mountain in the first place, is a unit of the Marnova security patrol. Marnova was also paying for all the huge maintenance of the dragon cavalry.

Yet why should it be enforced?

The negative effects of the Dragon Mountain blockade were raised on the shelves, and Marnova bent her umbilical cord.

How dare you keep up the cooperation of the Eurifranz government and decide to crusade the Thief Skeleton on your own.

Why was that possible when the State Chamber of Commerce was being targeted?

Marnova, one of the leading trading ports in Eurifranz, had a Chamber of Commerce directly under the Kingdom called the Adriatic Chamber of Commerce. However, democratization through the magical revolution changed the name of the Adriatic Chamber of Commerce to the State Chamber of Commerce.

However, the majority of its capital had been paid for by Marnova since before it was transformed into a state-owned Chamber of Commerce, and almost all of the management was still Marnova's associates.

For that reason, if Marnova refused strongly, he would not have been able to leave as the Eurifranz government either.

Behind Malnova's decision to repel the thief Skeleton alone was its enormous financial and connections.

The patrol, which is responsible for policing Marnova, asked the former to cooperate with the Mercenary Intermediary Union, the Hunter Association and the Explorer's Guild to activate the compulsory request to gather their strength.

It showed difficulty in the participation of international agents in Luge, but it was also impossible to say no to just Marnova, beyond the fact that there were international conventions that had been arranged for the international nominee.

Akikawa was participating as an advisor on the condition that he would not publish his participation. This one could not be treated in an evil way because of the stringing of the album, and as Marnova at the very least, the intervention of the album was not interesting, and as a result settled into the form of non-publication.

"It's called the Thief Skeleton, but the official Warcraft name is High Skeleton, the top species of undead skeleton. It is also the subject of my investigation, so I cannot even say that it is consistent with the Warcraft investigation.

Whatever the circumstances, I couldn't tolerate the way the thieves skeleton involved the innocent people, so I forced them to join me. "

The collector was listening to Akikawa without even changing his expression.

It's not like I didn't think anything of the last word.

But I only know what Ziva told me. I don't know the truth.

But there was only one thing I could say.

Ziva is not a good person to put in a trick called the Warcraft.

Beyond the presence of a warcraft called Snow White, the difference between warcraft and race is obscured among the possessors.

But what Akikawa calls a warcraft is a warcraft as a complete beast. Even if it's somewhat intelligent, it's a warcraft. It was that kind of nuance.

I didn't think Ziva was a beast to the treasurer.

There was anger at those who grieved over the death of their companions, honored their faith, loved art, and took their country. It is about that ecology, such as differences from people.

But the keeper kept his mouth shut that he didn't even have to bother explaining that to let Akikawa know about Ziva.

Akikawa's waiter finally called Akikawa to the back of the association that time was available.

Said the leftover collector was standing in the corner of the association and waiting.

- Don't.

Something hit me.

He was a hunter with a rough vibe when he saw it.

"Hey, where the fuck are you looking?"

"Sorry."

"Damn, you look so hard."

The man grabbed the collar of the robe in momentum and attracted the keeper, whispering.

- Kill the watchman.

A keeper who is immediately rammed apart and slammed against the wall.

"Damn, that's bullshit!

The man left the association.

This degree is not uncommon in associations. No one was paying attention.

The collector stands up.

It was yesterday today. All I could think of was Luge's message.

Aside from ostensibly cooperative relationships, this is probably why Luge put Akikawa on surveillance.

Akikawa came back from behind the association.

It had only been a few minutes, but the collector felt it for a long time.

"What have you done?

"No, I'm fine. I've been feeling a little sick since morning. Besides, can we go get Bartis some gear around his legs?

In the words Akikawa stared at the collector.

"... escape, do you?

"There's nothing you can do about it."

"… I think it would be difficult to find them if they crossed the border."

"Whoa, you want me to run away?

Akikawa nearly nodded.

I knew that wouldn't even be the next best thing.

It will take a chaser, and there will be all the circumstantial evidence that the collector existed.

But unless you can hold onto the pattern, there's no clear evidence. All you have to do is stick to the judgment of the facts, etc. Because we cannot impose judgment.

In an ambiguous situation where I don't know if I have such a collector or not, I can only manage to squeal.

That was the only way to avoid an abominable ending.

There was also the means by which the summoners would seize the figure of the treasurer, more than the treasurer could reconcile with Hayat.

But I just couldn't do that.

I treated him as non-existent at first, but if it becomes inconvenient, I catch him and imprison him.

It is as if it were a personal gift.

Indeed, before, I concealed the truth and put a stop to the collectors.

People have to compromise, sometimes break their knees, but live.

Akikawa thought so, but therefore also for the summoner, imposed it on the collector. And I have no regrets.

But physical restraint, and hence the restraint of liberty, is a far departure from it.

It was a method I wanted to avoid until the information was known to the anti-Hayats.

There was a way to prevent information from spilling completely.

It is the most abominable way.

Kill Luge.

If you can't do that, kill the collector and erase his existence.

It is the most sensible and quite easy way.

But Akikawa couldn't kill his students. I couldn't do that as a teacher, even if I wasn't a teacher.

And I couldn't even kill the same Japanese samurai.

Or if it's to protect the summoner, it could kill the people of this world.

But you can't kill a summoner.

I know it's hypocrisy, but that was the best Akikawa could protect.

Even the best of it hasn't kept everything.

Even now, it is.

The collector was about to drop zero.

Then, if you can't save it, can you let the collector do what he thinks?

If the collector runs away, you don't have to think of such a dangerous means.

Maybe that's what I thought.

I wanted to protect the summoner by any means possible.

At the same time, I was horrified that I could do anything with my great-name as a shield.

Maybe that's why I thought.

Akikawa allowed the collector to act alone.

I hope you get away with it, hoping that way.
