Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

It's been two years since I became Mr. Horus's.

I will still perform my duties as an experimental bench for Mr. Horus today.

"Gu......!

"Don't make a scene to this extent. All right, we can do a little more..."

Beside working in Mr. Horth's mansion as one of the maids I have several, this was how Mr. Horth used to experiment with the medicine he made at night.

"Drink this."

"Ngu... Ho ho ho... haha..."

"All right, we're done for the day"

"Ho, Dear Horus... your mother..."

Mother is treated all the time in one room of this mansion.

Occasionally I was allowed to see him, but it didn't seem like he was getting any better or worse.

"Don't worry. It's stable now. Get lost than that."

"Yes...... thank you"

The reply is roughly the same even when asked.

But I'm scared and I can't ask any more.

If they abandon you, your mother's life will end.

So I...

――――――――――――――――――――――

"The incompetent Tia. Go buy dinner."

"Yes! Yes, sir."

"I'm in no hurry. If I'm late... you know that, right?

"I know..."

We all knew I was incompetent in this mansion.

For this reason, I am exposed to stress, and in this way the most troublesome things are mostly dealt with by me.

Just even I was the bottom line.

Sometimes I really hate it and want to do it again.

I want to hit you... I want to stab you... kill you...

But every time my mother's face came to mind, and thanks to that, I was able to think of it.

I'm not even specially trained in magic anymore.

Because I'm what helps your mother.

I don't care about anything else anymore.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Hurry up and shop as you look at the list.

It would be terrible to see it late, and when Mr. Horus reported it, he was waiting for an even tougher maneuver.

There's a hell of a different from a drug lab......

When I was rushing shopping and running to the mansion, I was suddenly drawn into the alley.

"Yikes!?

"Hey, be quiet, maid. I'm just gonna hang out."

"You're incompetent, aren't you? If I resist... I'll tell the guard. You were beaten incompetently."

"I have to thank him. I don't care if you're incompetent or cute. It's cheap."

Three men drag me into the back of the alley.

Oh... I knew right away that they sold it.

We all know we'll go this way if we hurry.

You can get the money, and you can blame me.

Besides, I guess you'll enjoy seeing me set up by Mr. Horus again.

Fine...... whatever even your mother can help.

"So let's get started. Enjoy yourself... incompetent..."

"Hey, what are you guys doing?"

Huh...?

"Hey, what about Temehe and the others!?

"You said you were incompetent now, right? Let her go. If you're going to disappear now, I'll give you a break... What do you want me to do?

"Knock it off... I'm paying for this one. I don't know what to do with incompetence!

"So, you see the pain in your eyes?

"Try. Buh!

Hey, what have you done now...?

Too fast to see at all.

One of them was quickly rolling to the ground.

"Ba, Balta! Oops!?

Same with the second one.

I didn't see it at all.

The one left is quaking.

"Ah... oh..."

"Take two scumbags and lose them. Go."

"Hi-ha, no, no, no!

Desperately holding two, the man left disappeared into the back of the alley.

I turn to the people who helped me.

These people... how could you help me if you knew I was incompetent?

Oh, thanks anyway......

"Oh, um..."

"Hey, are you okay... incompetent"

――――――――――――――――――――――

Nieberg, the capital.

Needless to say, the heart of Nieberg.

The population is estimated to be about 20 million, famous as a supermassive city.

Even from the nearby summit, it is impossible to capture a panoramic view of the city that runs to the horizon.

In the heart of the city rises the majestic Nieberg Castle, which revolves around it to form a radially huge city.

The difference between rich and poor was intense as a unique problem in large cities, and the closer they were to the castle, the wealthier they were, and the suburbs on the other hand had turned into slum streets, which had become a hotbed of crime.

Huge walls are installed around the city, preparing for demons and dragon raids.

Even if the walls were breached, the first damage was near the walls, or slum streets.

It is therefore the present situation that the poor, that is, those with weak or less usable magic, have no choice but to live near walls.

It is said that there are overwhelmingly more people with less ranked magic than before due to weaker magic, Levi's appraisal magic, and that there are several people who are also desperately hiding what they call incompetence.

Slamming was becoming more widespread, proportionally the number of strong adventurers was decreasing, and the state was quite disturbed by the current situation in which there were only capital but resident adventurers up to S-rank.

Adventurers tend to hate restraints so much that they become stronger.

Travel the world freely, live freely, fight freely.

That is the belief held by many of the adventurers.

Still, a few SS ranked adventurers used to reside in Nieberg as well.

But now, simply because the denominator is reduced, fewer people want to reside.

Of course, there are a few samurai in the Kneeberg army who are equal to the S and SS rank, but not all of them can respond to requests from the people.

After all, a number of strong adventurers were needed.

The country also understands that, generously favouring adventurers, but it has not been very effective.

So a few times a year, an event was taking place here in the capital, Nieberg.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Four days after leaving Historia.

We have finally arrived in the capital, Nieberg.

It was daytime when I arrived, but while I was gathering information, the sun went down, and once I had switched to finding a place to stay, a sign came into my eyes.

"Hmm," Adventurer duel tournament... "

"Looks like the winner will get an Adventurer Rank Up and an extra mansion in Nieberg. Sounds like a pretty good bounty, too."

"A winning prize of five million gold? That's a million credits for winning."

The average household in every country earns about 4 million gold a year.

You can earn more than a year just by winning?

Adventurers are more rewarded for their dangers than for their common work.

Of course, many people are hard to eat if they are of low rank, and if they are not strong, they are at high risk of death.

So sometimes it's safer and more stable to use magic to get a job other than an adventurer.

If you're going to live normally, you can earn 200,000 a month, and there have been long times of peace, and those backgrounds may be leading to a decline in strong adventurers.

"You want a strong adventurer to live in Nieberg. Status, honor and gold, if you're in Nieberg, that's what you'll get. Dear Lord, what can I do for you?

"Hmm... I'm not interested. It's more important to find someone called incompetent than that."

I've heard rumors somewhat in town, but I haven't gotten any information.

I thought there might be a little rumor in this big city, but no one called incompetence seems to be in the center street.

People who can live in the center of town are mostly rich, and it might be quicker to get to Slam Street.

"And this town...... wouldn't it be too big? I didn't really care when I came here before..."

"Yeah, well, it's one of the five great nations. This is going to break my bones."

"You shouldn't expect to be found by chance...... hmm?

Suddenly a man with two men jumped out of the alley in front of him.

The two people held are neat, dragging them in half rather than holding them.

The man left to run away with a crying face and a bump to himself.

"What the hell?"

"Come on... is it a fight?

We kind of wondered, we peek into the alley where he popped up.

There are no lights in the dark alley where the sun sets, just the darkness itself.

But I felt that the darkness was moving slightly.

"I wonder if anyone..."

"Let's come if you care. Something that's done in secret in a dark alley… maybe it's more to do with what's called incompetence"

Levy slowly, without cowardice, advanced through the darkness.

I can count on you. Really...

"Right. Well, let's go."
