Master’s Smile

"... what I did was sell the information to the Rousselds"

Herolo finally started talking.

If there is nothing more to hide, words will overflow.

"The information is what kind of movement we make, what kind of person your husband and Solgloss are. All that stuff."

Lucille imagines how Herolo was passing the information.

For example, when we were all drinking in the guild, wasn't it when his figure disappeared once?

Were you meeting with Rousseld at that time to give him information?

"Hey, why..."

Lucille listens with a trembling voice.

I have a desire to rough up my voice with anger, but I didn't hear a voice in the shock that Heloro was betraying me.

Instead, strength was returning to the tone of Heloro.

In a way, I guess I blew it off.

With that strong emotion, I spun the words.

"... money."

"Huh...?

Lucille listens back to the words Bosoli and Herolo muttered.

It doesn't mean I didn't hear you. Sure, the voice was small, but the power was caged in the words, so it also reached his ears.

But it was an incredible word, so I asked again.

"The reason I sold the information to Rousseld is extremely simple. It's because... you get a lot of money."

The same words pop up for the second time, and Lucille is stunned when she finally realizes she's not misheard.

In exchange for the money, you sold your family?

"Oh, for that reason...... Huh!!

"... you think that's why?

To Lucille, who eats with anger, this time anger mixes in with Hero's words as well.

Lucille, feeling that anger, can stop the words.

"That's why!?

Heloro looks up and stares at Lucille.

That was based on deep anger from the bottom of my heart, unlike the anger I was showing when I was joking with you until now.

"You have no idea how important money is!! Though I would need money to do anything in this world! I would love to have all the money to eat rice or to buy and collect essentials!!

"I know that! But you sell your people for money... you sell your family!!

"- - Originally speaking, it must be your fault, Lucille!!

"... what?

Lucille, who has no idea why she blames herself, opens her eyes and looks at the helo.

Heloro was running his eyes blood and staring sharply at him.

His breath is getting rough, his entire face is in a red tide, but he doesn't look calm.

Instead, the emotional rough waves seem to be getting more intense.

But if he can't even say what he wants to say as he is, Hero desperately suppresses his emotions and cools down.

"... Huh. Hey, Lucille. Let our guild be small, shall we?

"Chi, let it go..."

Lucille nods to Herolo's words.

Indeed, our guild has only five registered members who are critical to the conditions of the guild, and is definitely a zero fine guild.

"Let it be small, and you'll make less money than any other guild. Refills with healing and antidotes leave little free money. Originally, I became an adventurer just to get rich. It's such a shitty piece of money, I can't stand it, can I?

"Well, still, we had a good time..."

I knew Heloro was more obsessed with money than any other member.

But that's natural if you're an adventurer, and Lucille never doubted it.

In fact, even he and Lucica became adventurers as children to earn money and get food.

Moreover, although Lucille and his guilds were few in number, they were all members with the strength there.

That's why I had no difficulty with the money to live tomorrow, and I was being enjoyed doing it like a family.

"... oh yeah. I really enjoyed it."

Heloro smiled at this time.

Really, if you're only obsessed with money, you should have gone through this guild to some other guild on a large scale.

Heloro is not a miscellaneous fish either. If you don't have high hopes like a major guild or something...... that would make it possible to join a mid-level guild like The Shield of Pride (Plastic Shield).

Still, he didn't leave Lucille's guild because he felt comfortable.

We had a fight with Lucille, made fun of Lucica, drank with Apollo, and got a league sermon......

Hero liked that routine.

But an event changed his mind.

"But what I really enjoyed was until Lucica was invaded by the curse"

"of, curse......"

Lucille atrophies in Heloro's eyes looking softly at herself.

The fact was something I remember badly for him as well.

"That's right. The curse Lucica took in your shelter... Is it a rugged curse, your husband says? Since then, I've... changed my guild."

A hello that laughs at itself.

"Sure, I don't hate Lucica either, and I don't hate you either. If I got hurt, I'd spare no effort to use my recovery pills, and I've never hesitated to use my money."

…………

Yes, Heloro showed obsession with gold and never hesitated to use it on the Lucilles.

That's why Lucille didn't realize how greedy Heloro was.

"But oh... It would be strange to lose so much money!! Ahhh!?

"... eh"

To Heloro's fury, Lucille trembles.

Because I had an idea.

"Just buy elixir info and our guild is sober! I also spent the money I was saving little by little! Still not enough, so I sold my guild gear! There's nothing left in the Alliance!!

The rare value of an elixir of natural things is more than the life of a person.

That's why, if it was meant to be, Lucilles, if the amount of money that the Zero Alliance might have worked so hard to collect, Elixir's information shouldn't have been available.

What that means, an informant named World Eye demanded the critical amount they could pay and sold the information lightly.

"Awkward...... ah, no. I just want to harass someone I don't like... what the hell?"

When I sold the information, World Eye said it, and I didn't know what it meant.

But as a result, Lucille and his guilds almost completely teased.

"No, that's not all. I'm even in debt.... Just kidding. I didn't want to live such a chopped life and become a dangerous adventurer!!

"Oh, because of me..."

Lucille had a strong sense of self-reproach.

It was Lucille, not Lucica, who was under the curse of Ragel.

Lucica just stood up to help her brother like that. Putting the blame on her would be a doorman.

Staring at Lucille like that, Herolo keeps talking.

"Lucille, I know you don't, but I've told Apollo and the league over and over again. Let's give up on Lucica. Let's stop paying for Elixir's information... Once, they were worried, too, huh?

"………………"

Lucille scratches her teeth.

Hearing Heloro's words didn't make me feel like blaming the Apollos.

Naturally. No matter how much money the Alliance leans toward, it can't be paid lightly.

"Still! They decided to pay to help Lucica! I disagreed many times!!

Heloro remembers that and makes his fangs swoop out.

What's with you? What's family?

Does it mean that it is okay for one companion or family member to live so painfully that no other member can live any more?

Moreover, it is merely as a cost of information.

Just because you paid for that big buck doesn't mean you'll always get an elixir either.

Instead, if that elixir search becomes clear and you can no longer receive a regular request, you will lose any money entering the guild.

I almost lose the money that comes into my nostalgia because I pay off my debts.

"That's what I couldn't stand!!

"Heloro......"

Lucille couldn't find any words to put on the helo.

He indirectly killed Apollo and the league, certainly a dear family.

But I couldn't resist the emotion-slapping hello like I would spit blood on Lucille right now.

"And you're the reason I let you guys go, your husband."

That being said, Herolo glanced at the master who had been silent with his vain eyes.

Even with such a frightening gaze, the master is laughing calmly.

"The fact that you stopped Lucica from progressing made it impossible to stop the Elixir search all the more. When this happens, the Apollos won't stop. The last time I suggested it, it pissed me off the other way around."

What if the curse progresses as it is without the Master pouring his magic into Lucica?

I don't know the details of the curse on Heloro, but within at least a year he would have been invaded all over his body and died.

Then we can start again from scratch.

For that period, I could have put up with it.

However, the advent of the Master has led to an extraordinary increase in the amount of time that can be spent exploring elixirs.

"It's your fault I betrayed you, too, huh? My husband...!

"No! Your husband helped us!!

Even with a sharp eye on the hello, the master only returns a bitter laugh.

Lucille protests the hello instead, but he snorts with the hun.

Then you hit the masters with everything you wanted to say, and he looks back and goes to Rousseld.

Until now, Rousseld, the blue-white-faced man who had heard Herolo's words as a nigga, speaks to him who came all the way next door.

"Oh, are we done yet?

"... oh. I bumped everything I wanted to bump. You want to kill your husband, don't you? He's annoying to me, too. Hurt me thoroughly, then kill me."

"Ah-ha-ha! Not until you tell me."

To Heroro's words, Rousseld gives an uncomfortable laugh.

Upon hearing the words, Lucille was convinced that she could no longer share them with Heloro.

Rousseld leaves his back from the tree he was brought to, and puts his hand on Heloro's shoulder.

"Bye. You're not breaking up anymore, are you?

"... oh. Give me the money."

Herolo looked at Chirali and Lucille and said so.

The last time I think I see him alive, it's emotional.

But when I joined hands with the Rousselds, "The Iron Queen (Einieken)," I was already ready.

But Rousseld scoffs at such a heroic determination.

"Silly! No, I said no. You know exactly what I'm talking about..."

……

I didn't understand what Rousseld was saying, and it was when Hero tilted his neck.

- - Zudo.

I heard that sound.

Lucille opened her eyes and Rousseld tore her mouth apart.

"... ah?

Heloro finally realized that Rousseld's arm was piercing his belly.
