Episode 261: The Reward of the Bandit Crusade

"Thank you so much!!

On the tenth day of the platinum month, when we Elemantmaster returned to Sparda's dorm after completing the bandit crusade and the search for the Greedgor, it was not Simon or Will who greeted us, but a strange boy.

But with the glasses girl standing next to him, I can quickly see what kind of relationship she is.

"You're welcome, I'm glad she's okay"

In response, the boy cries out like he was impressed, with many words of gratitude in a trembling voice.

"Don't cry so much anymore, Eddie. Something's more embarrassing to me."

"Well, so be it. Ooh!

The crying boy's name is Eddie, and he seems to be a knight candidate at the Royal Sparda Seminary by making this glassy girl childhood friendly.

And a girl by the name of Shenna is one of seven women we rescued from the bandit Azito.

It's not hard to imagine what Eddie was going through his days with until she came home safe like this.

"Um, excuse me, there's some kind of fuss on his own..."

Shenna poking Eddie with a troubled face, I can't help but notice the smiling look of the two of them breaking up, do you also say I smile bitterly?

"No, you came all the way out here to thank me, I don't mind."

"Excuse me, thank you"

So, after a little conversation about each other, Shenna tried to pull Eddie and quit the spot.

By the way, when Eddie left,

"Mr. Chrono! If anything happens, I can help. So say anything!!

He offered.

"Thank you, I'll remember."

"In the meantime, let's just say the rumor that Mr. Chrono pushed down the Avalon princess was demeaning?

"Oh, that's a little serious, please"

Whatever it was, that's how Eddie and Shenna's cadet combo left.

Expect my bad rumors to heal later... no, more than that.

"Looks like everything's back to normal, thanks to Lily"

"Eh heh."

I stroke Lily's head with an uncontrolled grin, but my heart ached with a slight guilt that I only lied to Eddie one time.

She was safe, I said, but that was a complete lie.

I didn't see it in person, but I'm pretty sure she was worn out, both physically and mentally, and I'm hearing from Zach, who was on the bandit's side about what the woman who was caught over there was being treated like.

But it was Lily who made it all 'nothing'.

Not only did I follow the fairy spirit pills to make the body of seven women full speed, but I applied my telepathic abilities to erase all my memories since I was captured.

If you ask me, it seems that Shenna's memories have all disappeared since the 20th of the month of Red Flame, as have the other women, who seemed to have disappeared around a few days before they were taken away.

And because they erased all their abominable memories, the women also establish the lie that the bandits‘ did nothing ’.

"I'm glad to hear that."

"Yes, from this situation, it would be the best outcome"

Fiona affirms strongly.

If they hadn't healed their heartbreaks over the years to come, originally, no, if they did poorly, they could have been supposed to be unable to recover and suffer nightmares for the rest of their lives.

The spiritual power to take painful facts and get over it may be great, but in terms of happiness, it's best to decide that you didn't forget everything.

So I'm not going to tell the truth the way it is, I just need them to live the rest of their lives happily, believing this gentle lie that Lily created for me.

"Oh, really good"

This one case has all been settled in a saved way, for me, that's the happiest reward of all, more thankless than gold or honor.

The next day, the eleventh of the month of platinum.

The city of Sparda is still vibrant today, but more than that, there were bright rumors coming from people's mouths.

That's that the Royal Sparda Seminary's proud Rank 5 party, Wing Road, succeeded in defeating evil slave traders.

In fact, it seems that this‘ evil slave trader 'and others who were not in Azit because of them were successfully rescued, were the masterminds of the bandits we crusaded.

Maybe I could have fought the bandit's mastermind, but if I realized it, it was all settled, so what a distracting story.

But since all the extra hassles I expected in the future have not changed to being avoided, I can say I would rather appreciate it.

It would be greater that they had the super upper class status of royalty and the four nobles than that they Wing Road were rank five mighty men who could have succeeded so lightly in setting up the slave traders in the upper compartment.

Because if we were just free adventurers, we might have been attacked by merchant opponents who could have had so much power and power with unexpected tangles.

Anyway, thanks to such a high profile party, we can still operate today without any worries.

Speaking of which, the members of Wingro-do also include Nell, who is the first princess of Avalon, and I would like to say a word of thanks if I ever see him again.

I wish I didn't have a hysterical friend with a sword-wielding brother nearby.

With that in mind, I finally get to my destination.

"Well, today's the day to buy a good robe"

Its destination is Fix & Fica, a magician's robe store where witchy aunt clerks can wait.

The blackened armor for the vs. Gleedgore has been lightly drilled in the belly with Rudra's knife, so it is planned to be sent to Stratos Blacksmith Workshop for repair after this.

Besides, my standard gear is still a robe, no matter what I say, my class is "Black Wizard," not "Mad Warrior (Berserker)" who decidedly deals with cursed weapons, etc.

Well, the armor isn't bad either, but you should still have a decent robe in place for one. Sometimes, Magic Defense takes precedence over Physical Defense when dealing with monsters from another trial.

"Hehe, today is the day to show off my finances and let that witch clerk serve a loving customer!

The more such an intent leaks, my purse is moist now, or I can't buy a robe in the first place without money, so it's a natural prerequisite.

Of course, the source of this luxurious fund is the reward of the bandit crusade.

I didn't officially get a crusade quest from the guild, but it was admittedly the result of the crusade, so a corresponding bounty was paid.

Besides, the property that the crusading opponent possessed on the spot may remain in the nostalgia of the adventurer party in which he participated, so he got roughly twenty whole possessions.

It sounds like a terrible story about looting on a bandit opponent, but without that much bonus, I guess the bandit crusade quest won't be complete.

Well, that's wacky, and with the intention of buying him the most expensive guy in this store today, I dived the store door vigorously.

Numerous robes greet you when you enter the store, that "freshman! The doll wrapped around an apprentice robe with a plate that says" "even seems to welcome my visit.

Heh, sorry, I'm finally graduating from my apprenticeship robe today.

Already and now I'm not wearing a robe wrapped in a shirt with trousers, which means I'm going home on the spot with a new robe I bought here, "Are you going to gear up here?" The answer is high and yes.

By the way, the apprentice robe was something Fiona said she would use to experiment with additions (enchants), so she gave them away as they were.

If the experiment fails and the charcoal is extinguished, it's not a waste of time there, if you think the memories of being licked scatterly in that robe were purified by the flames together.

There's nothing to stop me from walking at the earliest possible moment after I've cemented my will to make such an absolute decision.

At the end of his gaze, the example witch clerk still sits at the counter the same way he did when he came forward.

Apparently, you've noticed my visit to the store, and I would have dropped it in a hardcover book I'd have gotten earlier. My eyes are already turned to this one.

Well, I don't know what kind of disgust pops out of my mouth today.

"Master Element Chrono. Welcome."

Oh, what is it, dodgy?

I can't help but think about that if you bother to get up out of your chair and thank me almost at right angles.

I mean, I don't remember naming this guy either his name or his party name...

"I see, was it your daughter"

It should also be said that the world is narrow, what a mother this witch aunt clerk was to Shenna.

I didn't have to tell you. I knew all the circumstances through my daughter, and you knew I was the benefactor of her life.

"I'm sorry, I was going to go out here to thank you -"

"No, that's fine, because I just did my job as an adventurer and the rewards are out of the guild properly"

This cordial and polite response can't be uncomfortable if you think it's someone you've been sporadically disgusted with.

"I can't say that, because you saved my daughter."

To the person who saved my daughter's life, if she was shown a mother who would thank her in tears, she couldn't be very willing to tear it up, etc.

As far as I'm concerned, that gratitude is enough, it's also true that I'm getting a lot of money as a reward, and I'm not going to be greedy or arrogant enough to ask for more.

"No, it was originally prepared to reward the rescue quest, please do not hesitate to accept it"

I heard yesterday that the victim's family paid each other to request a rescue quest to the Alliance.

They didn't weigh their minds by the amount, but they were nevertheless a reward that was never cheap, and it was told that they were showing their captured girlfriends.

More importantly, I didn't officially order that quest, although I accomplished the purpose itself, it's hard to say that I have a legitimate right to be rewarded.

But if they push me this far, I feel rude enough to keep saying no.

How many minutes, I've never been in a situation like this before, so I'm not going to weigh what's appropriate.

"Besides, if Krono is still asking for the Devil's Embrace, I think this reward will come true."

Her eyes, so cut out, dwell in a sharp light somewhere.

Mmm, I still can't insult this guy - no, it's the good intentions I'm trying to get paid this time, so is there any point in being vigilant?

"No way, there's a 'Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace)'?

"Just a moment."

Leaving behind, he retreats to the back of the store. Grunt, what a surprise.

It probably hasn't been five minutes, but I can feel the wait a little longer.

In no time, she comes back to her hands with a black robe folded with both hands, and spreads it in front of me, responding to an earlier question.

"It is a 'Devil's Embrace (Diabolos Embrace)' made of the skin of Diabolos, a high devil who forms a bi-perfection with Bafomet"

Unlike Bafomet fur, it has a heavy texture like genuine leather, and its design looks quite different from what it originally wore.

But the signs of the intense black magic that dwells there prove beyond a doubt that Colle is the same dish that dwells on 'The Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace)', no, maybe even more.

"Hehe, apparently you liked it"

"Oh, this is... good stuff"

Until the other day, I used an apprentice magician robe, so it is even worse.

I seem completely fascinated by the sheen of pitch-black leather that seems to convey its powerful magic pulse.

"Please, make sure you're comfortable"

"... Yes"

I couldn't even say no.

Robe, more like a shaped 'Devil's Embrace (Diabolos Embrace)' closer to the coat, turns her back in silence.

At first glance, the size of the coat seemed one size smaller than mine, but if you put your arms through it, you wouldn't feel strange and cramped.

No, as a matter of fact, this is freely resizing according to the wearer's body.

Yes, a change to a comfortable temperature that is neither hot nor cold as soon as you wrap yourself around this feeling that fits perfectly into your body to suck.

Oh, it feels kind of terribly nostalgic, yeah, I realize again that Arr was such a comfortable thing.

"You look great."

It's a strange thing because such a simple saying would seem true if you felt this comfort.

No, it's not a question of whether it suits me anymore at this time or not, there's just something here that makes me purely 'want’.

"Well, how about you, Master Chrono, take this" Devil's Embrace (Diabolos Embrace) "as a thank you from me, right?

She will know that the answer is so much that she doesn't already need to hear it.

Because I already find it fascinating enough to lightly blow my feelings of reluctance to reject this.

"Thank you, I'll take it"

Other than that, I couldn't find a word to say.
