Isekai Tensei no Boukensha

Chapter 2-12 Confessions

After that, we took a trip to Knights headquarters. Together are me, the Duke, Primera and the Guild Leader. From behind, there are those who are sneaking up on us.

I asked him to lend me a meeting room at headquarters and started discussing the future.

"Well, let's get started. Let's start with the disposition of the Geese..."

and the Duke began to speak,

"Duke, isn't there someone you'd like to introduce us to before we talk?

That's what I say, look at the door. The Duke said, "You did,"

"Come in."

called, emerged through the door from the

"Why are Legil's people here!

He was a man of the hood. Primera reaches for the sword on guard, but

"Being here means he's the Duke's man."

So I suppress Primera's hand.

"Ha? What do you mean! Father!"

and Primera raised her voice to her surprise.

"Daimyo, the spy the Duke sent by Legil," he said.

That's right, I checked with the Duke and the man.

"That's amazing. That's all I knew. Exactly. He's my man, mostly in intelligence."

and whispered lightly. As the man was in a hurry,

"Duke! Teaching such things will interfere with future activities!

I'm saying the most important thing,

"You can't help it. Tenma, you're gonna find out, Primera's my daughter, and the guild leader... he's not gonna do anything terrible."

Right, when I heard, the guild leader nodded cocklessly.

"Well, if the Duke says so, trust me."

And then he turned to us.

"I was in enemy (Legil) camp earlier, but I was on my side for once. I won't reveal my name."

"Stay, I don't mind. Say hello."

The Duke, by the way, was troubling this man... Style.

"... it's a style. I work for the Duke."

and introduced himself somewhat reluctantly. According to the appraisal,

Name... Style

Age… 29

Race... People

Title… Agent/Assassin

HP… 17000

MP… 1000

Muscle strength… B

Defense… b-

Fast… A

Magic... b-

Mental Strength… A

Growth power… C +

Luck... b-

And it had a lot of strength.

"I knew you weren't the only one."

after he looked like he bit a bitter bug in my words with

"But if I fought from the front, I'd be eighty-nine... no, there's more chance I'd have lost"

"You think you're confident you can win?

and I tried to ask a mean question, but Stayle didn't change her complexion,

"That would be a little more likely than from the front"

I said pale.

A warring country comic strip, Ninja is the ultimate realist, he said, but I guess the style is something similar.

"You're out of line. Let's put it back. Geese and the others will sell me my rights, as promised."

"I don't mind. And finally, with regard to Legil, please follow the prior meeting."

So most of the discussion ended.

"What will happen to Geese and Legil in the future?

"After researching his sins, Geese will be sentenced to death if he sends a heavy mine, even if it's light. Legil will probably be sentenced to death. This one will be deliberated after being transferred to the King's Capital, but that's just to find out if the state treason applies, and much of the power of decision rests with me. If you're guilty of national treason, all Regil's family members are on death row, but if it's just a death sentence, you just have to Regil."

Take a breath there,

"Well, even if some kind of cross spear came in and the death penalty was spared, confiscation of private property over title-stripping. You'll be a slave faller even more."

Well, it's up to my discretion, I said with a laugh.

"So when they're done, they'll give me a reward, right?

When asked, the Duke scratched his head,

"It's about that. He owns a lot of hidden property, and it could take him almost a year to figure out if it's computational or criminal. So I'll give you a share of the ostensible wealth first, and if you have hidden property, can you do it after the calculations are done?

I have suggested that. I'm not in any trouble with the money at the moment.

"I don't mind that draft. When you're done, let the Alliance know. I'll go check it out once in a while."

and write the contract in agreement. Just like before, keep it in guild with me and the Duke's house.

I put a sentence and an autograph in the contract that Primera was a witness so that it would undoubtedly be fulfilled, even in the unlikely event of misfortune to the Duke.

"That's the end of the deal! And you, Tenma. This is a million G for the Geese and the others, and this is 1.5 million G for Legil's personal effects."

and I'll give you a bag with 2.5 million Gs.

"You're ready. You didn't think I was gonna go?

When I heard that, I was teased that it was the Duke who prepared it this way.

"Will you continue to be based here?

To the Duke's question with, after a few thoughts,

"I'm about to leave this city soon"

And I told him what I've been thinking here lately.

"Is that what this is all about?

"It's more of a goal than an end. I want to break through the Great Forest sooner or later."

And I didn't really want to remember, but I said it as I remembered the existence of what could be described as the disconnect I was in here.

"That forest has a little thoughtfulness. So I want to try to step on it."

"Is that the forest where that Kukri village incident happened..."

and when the name of the village came out, my body became tense for a moment. Unfortunately, there were three people here who didn't miss it.

Each reaction seemed trio, one intrigued, one more vigilant and one more relaxed.

"Is there any translation?

inner to the Duke's words, Shit, I thought,

"Yeah, I heard my relatives got involved and they all died, so..."

and misled, but the Duke,

"Didn't you go to check?

I ask. I told him to assemble the story so I could get through.

"Yeah, I was twelve at the time, so I was afraid to confirm again the deaths of the people who adored me because it was a long way to Kukri Village and because my parents died at the same time."

Now I regret it, but I told him. The Duke seemed suspicious.

"Really... then you have no choice. Kukri Village is now an abandoned village, but we have heard that many of the survivors have moved to Russell City and Wang Capital. If you get any chance, you can go talk to them about your relatives."

And I didn't get any extra prying. It was the first time I thought I might have let someone know that I was alive and going on a journey.

The place for discussion was then open early because of the subtle air.

I decided to stop by the guild on my way home and redeem my bet.

"Tenma."

"Congratulations, Tenma"

"I believed Tenma would win."

"Congratulations. Mr. Tenma."

Upon entering the guild, Lily and Mr. Flute greeted us.

"Were you waiting for me?

When I hear that, Lily and the others, yeah! I replied that Mr. Flute,

"I'm back to work after the duel. We also received a lot of allowances on leave."

Satisfied, with such a look.... Looks like you got a pretty good forehead in that condition. There's only a deputy guild leader on the boulder, and there's no loophole.

"By the way, Mr. Tenma. What about the guild chief?

and make sure behind me,

"I was wondering if you were back in the guild first because you were gone at some point... haven't you been home, guild leader?

A young man appeared behind Mr. Flute in my words with...

"Pfft, that's a good amount of nerve, that dad. When I get back, I'll show you hell."

... It was the moment when Hell's Messenger appeared in the Alliance. For the record, during dinner time this day, male screams echoed in the city (mainly around the guild), a matter for the Knights to deploy.

"As it were, well, Mr. Flute, I set that aside and came to redeem..."

I just said that, finally, from behind Mr. Flute, the young man disappeared once (...).

"Ah, yes. Let me show you the gambling ticket...... yes, I checked. Please wait."

So he went into the back room, and in about ten minutes, Mr. Flute brought a bag of money.

"This one will be 3.6 million G of the dividend for this bet. Make sure."

And when I looked inside, it contained 36 large gold coins.

"Sorry, we are short of white gold coins, so we will be paying for big gold coins"

He said, but I don't care either way, so I only put the gold in the magic bag, as usual, and the bag was returned.

Lily and the others also had an income of over 100,000 G on this bet. And a lot of adventurers bet on me, so I was thanked by a fair number of people, but on the other hand, I was pretty impressed by the guy who didn't like me or the citizen who bet on Legil. (I deserve it)

"Tenma, let's have dinner together today!

"Let's do that!

"Of course, with the luxury of tenma!

And I'm kidding, but I made a lot of money today, so that's okay, I admitted. I also got the understanding that if Mr. Flute invited him as a second thank you, it would be late but still fine, so I was supposed to meet Mr. Flute at the full pavilion for the time he would finish his job.

By the time Mr. Flute got back to work, it was almost four hours away, so I decided to go back to the inn to make an evening appointment with my uncle.

Returning to the full pavilion, my uncle was in the kitchen making the evening arrangements.

"Oh, Tenma. You're back. You made me make money today."

And I was laughing in a good mood. When I told my uncle about the appointment, he agreed to leave it to me, and he prepared a special menu for me. I also asked my uncle to give me Rockbird's meat and eggs and make me something.

Even after the appointment, I still have time left, so I took a trip to the library.

The reason for this is that I decided to get out of this city soon, so I thought I'd try some dungeon offense, too, to find a destination.

The library is a three-story building, with shops selling reception, paper for notes, etc., on the ground floor, entertainment books such as stories and travel books on the second floor, and books such as professional and academic books on the third floor.

I'm usually on the third floor, often used for study of demons and magical references, but rarely upstairs today.

Books made of paper in this world are invaluable, so they are not loaned or anything else, and there are fines and worst jails depending on the extent to which they are destroyed or torn.

For this reason, many people, such as those who are keen to study, buy or bring paper and write it down. Because people can't read the letters, they can also have their hands free officials read for them, but this will require 50G in half an hour.

If you don't do annoyances and other things in the building at 200G a day for admission, it's a mechanism for 100G to come back at the return festival.

Going upstairs, I ask the clerk to look for a travel book or something that contains stories about the dungeon relationship, and from that I take notes on paper of some of the names of the cities and regions, and look them up in detail in the specialist books on the third floor, etc., to compare the candidates. Then they narrowed it down to three places.

The first is a dungeon about 100 km west of this city, discovered thirty-five years ago and attacked two years later. Depth is on the 20th floor underground and falls into a small category for size.

The second is about 300 km northwest of this city, about 200 km from the Wang capital. This is a city called Dungeon City, discovered more than two decades ago, but has not been attacked, and the depth is assumed to be beyond 100 floors underground. Oversized.

The third one, from the first one, is about 500 km further west, which was also discovered thirty-two years ago here in Dungeon City, and attacked three years later. Depth is 45 floors underground, medium sized.

Comparing these, I opened up a book called First Dungeon, which I somehow had at hand.

Dungeons mainly refer to labyrinths and underground labyrinths. But sometimes, by way of exception, magic runs wild, distortions can be made in space, and with it as an inlet, dungeons can be made in different dimensions. Many of those cases become dungeons similar to those around their entrances, but demons and the like barely inhabit them, and it is also difficult to escape. Better not come in if you find it. So far there have been two examples of discoveries, with more than 200 victims and about 20 survivors.

Labyrinth is a word that refers to the sea of trees and so on, where magic is dark, where there is no nucleus, and where there is no concept of aggression, but in some people, reaching the center is called aggression.

Underground dungeons are dungeons that, as their name suggests, can be underground, deepening until the dungeon nucleus reaches its growth limit. The mechanism for getting deeper is unknown, but basically the nucleus is often in the lowest layers, restoring it to the same position after a corresponding amount of time, even if it is broken or taken away from the spot. Strangely enough, if you take the nucleus out of the dungeon, the nucleus will spread its magic and collapse. Generally, destroying a nucleus is called an attack. A collapsed nucleus is used for evidence.

A dungeon nucleus is a collection of magic, and it is said that the quality of magic determines its maximum magnitude. Nucleus attracts demons and absorbs magic from demons and intruders. The closer you are to the nucleus, the more powerful you become under the influence of the nucleus. Especially the strong ones are called bosses.

The boss has a territory, often at regular intervals, and it is rare to leave the territory.

A dungeon city is a city that thrives around a dungeon, and many places have their own laws. Ideal as a place for beginners to dive into a dungeon because it is easy to get support and gather information.

It said: And then thinking about it, the first is dismissal. Then the second and the third, but should it be bigger anyway, let's make the second a first candidate and the third a second candidate.

I was wondering if there were any other good places, and it was time to close the door.

When I put the book back in place, I greeted the scribe and left the library behind.

Afterwards, in the room of the full pavilion, he squashes his time by dealing with Shiloumal and Slalin.

"Sularin, Shiloumal. I think I'm gonna leave this city, but what do you say?

Talk to others, but naturally no reply. Slalin seems to understand the meaning of my words somehow, staring at my face and twisting my body like I said something.

Shiloumal, by contrast, slept with his stomach on his back.

When I headed to the dining room about time, my grandmother led me to my reserved seat.

After a while about the seats, Lily and the others and Mr. Flute arrived. Ask him, and he says Lily and the others picked up Mr. Flute. Your father, who saw us all together, brought us food and drinks.

"Well, we've got all the food and we'll start!

and each took a glass of alcohol and made a toast to the words.

"" "Make it a treat ~ su. Tenma!" "

"I'll take it. Mr. Tenma."

So, Lily and the others carry the dishes to their mouths one after the other. Mr. Flute, by contrast, although the movement is slow, will surely aim only at the delicious part of the dish.

The first topic, naturally, is about dueling.

"Speaking of which, what happened to Legil after that?

Millie asks me somehow, something like that. The other two seem interested, but only Mr. Flute heard from the guild chief or didn't seem particularly concerned.

"Oh, he's been transferred to the king's capital and can be hung up for deliberation. Worst of all, he said national treason could be possible. They say the death penalty is almost certain. Looks like Geese is either on death row or falling slaves."

and doesn't seem appropriate as a topic during a meal, but Millie doesn't seem to care, oh well.

"Well, thanks to that, I have to thank Tenma for the food."

and Mr. Flute, he still has it in his roots, which is quite a poisonous tongue.

Afterwards, it thrives on a topic that has no deflection, eats food and drinks alcohol, and a good time passes.

"With that said, what will I get for my next request? I'm not in trouble for money right now, but it's not a good idea to keep weird intervals."

and Lily said out.

"Right. Now you've got a decent request with Tenma."

"Mr. Flute, can I help you?

and Nelly and Millie go on, it looks like Mr. Flute is trying to remember if there was anything either.

I think I'd better hurry up if I were to say it, so I speak to the four of us.

"I need to ask you something."

To my serious voice, the four of you let go of the dish and turn your back.

"Actually, I'm thinking of leaving this city soon."

When I say that, the four of you stop moving in my words,

"" "" Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! ""

All four exclaimed.
