After what Mr. Gant said about the shock, I was about to return to my room.

That's where Mr. Gant called me.

"Hey Yuma! You have plans for tomorrow!?

Mr. Gant suddenly said something like that.

I've just come to this village. There's no way I have any plans.

"No, I don't have any plans, but was there something you wanted me to do?

Yes. When I returned the question, Mr. Gant...

"No! It's like the village chief wants to thank you for this bandit thing!

If you like, why don't you come with me to see the village chief tomorrow?!

I see. You did tell Mr. Gant about the bandits.

But I wonder what you'd like to thank me for.

Well, naturally, I don't have plans.

"Okay, but is Mr. Gant okay with the gatekeeper's job or something?

"Ahhh, thanks to you for catching the bandits, the gatekeepers are back on their own every day, so tomorrow I'll be free all day. I'll do whatever it takes!

I see. So the gatekeeper was always alone.

"Okay, so can we just head out in the morning?"

Mr. Gant...

"Oh, that's good! Then you're not sleeping here tomorrow morning! If you go to bed, I'll wake you up directly!

Hmm. I can't go to bed with this.

It's a little rude, but I don't really want my old man to wake me up.

"Now you'll excuse yourself."

Leaving behind that, I used to walk up the stairs to my room.

Back then.

"Father! Is it true that Yuma defeated the bandit?!

"Yeah, it's true. I actually checked it out. It was brilliant.

Not that I feel a little too brilliant!

"Wow, you look so weak, you're so old with me, but you're so tight - you can't judge people by their appearance!

I heard something a little rude. Let's not make it sound like...

Just like that, I returned to my room.

Shut the door and lie down on the bed.

"Ha, I was expecting you to look weak, but you're a little shocked. Well, you don't look strong, ex-hikoko... well, you're going to the village chief's house tomorrow. Looks like you wanted to thank him, but maybe that's all. Well, maybe they'll tell you to give me the body of the bandit. Well, I don't want to keep much of this stuff in the item box. If you tell me to give it to you, I'll just give it to you."

Let's just get some sleep for today.

If you fall asleep and Mr. Gant wakes you up, I can't wait.

And I fell asleep with my eyes closed.

The Next Morning

I woke up when it got brighter out there.

"Phew, apparently, what happens before Mr. Gant wakes you up.

Looks like we made it. You're relieved for now.

Well, the only thing I have planned for you today is to go to the village chief's house. "

That's how I walked over to the first floor with Mr. Gant.

When we got to the ground floor, Mr. Gant was already sitting there waiting for us.

"Hey Yuma! See if you can make it!

If it was too late to wake up, I would have woken you up. "

Apparently, he didn't.

"Sorry, it's been a long time since I've slept well in a beautiful place."

When I was doing that, the beauty came from the back, not from Mr. Gant's wife, Maria.

"Oh, I'm so glad to hear that.

My husband told me you exorcised the bandits.

Thank you. Thank you for breakfast. "

He brought soup and bread.

Thank God I was a little hungry.

"Thank you. I just woke up in the morning and I was starving! It will be a treat."

In a few minutes of the stuff, the breakfast stuck in my stomach.

As always, the flavor is unpleasant.

"Thank you. That was amazing. It was delicious!

"No. You're going to the village chief's house today.

Go ahead. "

He's a good man... he could have been such a beautiful man with a good man, Mr. Gant.

What an envy.

"Okay, Yuma, you've finished your breakfast. Then we'll try to get to the village chief's house as soon as possible. I think the village chief's house stands out because it's the biggest in the village, but don't get lost. Follow me properly."

Yeah, Mr. Gant's a good guy, too.

Well, it looks good on you.

Okay. Let's go.

That's how me and Mr. Gant walked out towards the village chief's house.

I don't know if it's my fault. I saw one yesterday as though I was suspicious, but I don't think so today. Maybe it's because of the smell of people looking at me in a favorable way.

In the meantime, we seem to have arrived at the village chief's house.

It's really big.

"Okay, you're here. Well, I think you'll be fine, but don't act too weird. Please."

"I understand."

That's how we went to the village chief's house.

There's a big room in the house.

And then we got to the room where the village chief is.

Mr. Gant did.

"I brought the village chief. This is Yuma who defeated the bandits!

Which means this old man must be the mayor of this town.

Apparently there's only a village chief in this room.

There's one door in the back in the big room.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Yuma Sato. Please call me Yuma."

The village chief flipped his mouth

"You did well. My name is Zonga.

Yuma, as you know, this village was attacked by bandits.

You could have caught them. You let them get away with it.

The whole town was full of anxiety.

That's where Gant told me you took down what you gave him.

I really appreciate that. Thanks. "

They usually thanked me.

But don't start with the back door.

It's not like I'm gazing, but I feel like I'm showing signs of what to do.

Why don't you just ask me a few questions?

"No. Until I did what I deserved.

By the way, Mr. Zonga, there are some strange signs from the back door.

Are you out of your mind? "

The mayor was surprised for a moment to hear it and smiled all the time the next moment.

Then.

"Hey Grace, you look like you're being noticed! So why don't you come on!

The next moment, a big man with a big sword on his back door was revealed.

He's got an even more disappointing body than the bandit Rand.

The man named Grace flipped his mouth.

My name is Grace.

I was going to erase the signs for once.

Don't do it, boy!

Boy... isn't that right?

"Um... I'm called Yuma...

And I'm 25 years old, and they call me a boy a little... "

Mr. Grace seemed a little surprised.

"What! He said he was 25 years old with that face! I don't believe you at all!

But if that's true, I'm sorry. From now on, let me call you Yuma. "

I've been honestly apologizing. Uh-huh. Forgive me!

Not.

"No, it's fine. I'm used to it, so let's get to the point. Who are you?

Yeah, when I asked the questions, the answers came right back.

"Yeah, my name is Grace, and I was guarding this town, and I'm a Rank B adventurer!
