[Shall we make a deal?]
[Deal?]
Now, Tanya and I are both staying in my room at the hotel.
After I cleared up the misunderstanding at the adventurer’s guild, it was decided that I’m the one who will handle Tanya.
The reason being that there is no reward for Tanya’s head (TN: Bounty). Also, she is a little girl.
She is aiming for my life, why she should only be regarded as thief!? My opinion however, was rejected.
At the Torres Adventurer’s Guild there is reward for thieves & robbers, but there isn’t at Iris’s adventurer guild, aren’t they a little too careless?
Well, the stance on criminals is most likely a little different in this town because the Knight Order more active in here than the guild. (ED: So the stance on criminals is different).
or so was I told.
While talking about the Knight Order, I remember something.
I don’t have a good impression of the Knight Order here.
While going about our guild business for the past month, we have passed by several times, they seem to look down on Adventurers.
Even though the Marquis is friendly and understanding, our involvement with the underground labyrinth, and because of Rithina.
If it’s adventurers of an unknown origin, they would surely have a bad reaction.
Anyway, if I were to hand Tanya over to the Knight Order, it would be difficult to get information from her.
I am once again going to rely on Rithina.
If we’re unable to get any information, our plans for the future are going to change as well.
[Yes. A deal.
You will regain your magic and I’ll help you with that. That’s the deal.
I’ll let the issue of attacking me slide.
In exchange, I want to know why you attacked me. Also, who was the fellow who exploded earlier?]
[Nn~ Nnnn~….]
Even though she already said it when I captured her earlier, it seems she is still reluctanct to talk about her client? The worried Tanya shows a troubled face.
If you don’t accept my offer, I’ll use my new [Tentacle Punishment] torture again….
Not bad.
[Ma, okay. I understand. I accept your offer]
Tch.
Just as I come up with an evil plot, Tanya shatters it.
Despite the sense of dread that those defeated in battle often experience when there life is on the line, it’s splendid comeback.
But, I feel magnanimous, I don’t really hate her.
And then, I hear the whole story from Tanya.
After learning magic she gave herself the appearance of an adult and departed her village to become an adventurer.
At the tender age of 7 years old, is it the effect of being a demonic half-blood? Frankly speaking Tanya is far stronger than a normal adventurer, so she probably had a head start.
Around that time, she came to be interested in fighting stronger opponents.
Tanya is the same as Laurier, are all Demons battle maniacs?
Are you always anxious for battle? Do you also search for opponents who are much stronger than you?
Whatever, both of them are bare-handed fighters, next time we hold magic practice let’s compare them.
I’m really ambivalent.
Next, according to Tanya’s tale, she began wandering from town to town while her fame is grew.
Around a month ago she was informed by a mysterious hooded person that there was a strong fellow named Amagi Haruto in Irisu. The mysterious figure encouraged her to find him and test her abilities.
The fellow wearing the hood told her all about Haruto’s exploits and acted together with Tanya afterwards.
From the hooded person, she learned about the story.
Over the next month made their way toward Iris town, and they accidentally met me in that forest.
Even though they spent a month working together as guide and Guard, they barely spoke and Tanya still hadn’t caught sight of the face of her hooded partner.
Is this girl an idiot?
Tanya doesn’t seem to care about it, this was the first time hearing about it, she was also surprised by the explosion later.
…. This is honestly great information.
However, I still don’t understand.
The hooded person who travelled with Tanya was probably that Golem.
Tanya also explained, that even though it’s body was completely covered by it’s mantle, she clearly remembers that the figure didn’t have a left hand.
According to Tanya’s story, they came from the east to Iris town.
From a town near the border.
I’ve never been to that place, I try to recalled what I might have done to carry my name to such a far off town.
For the time being, although I prove it yet, I have no doubt that it was the Golem.
The other one.
It seems the target is me.
Rather, the golem seems not to target anyone but me..
I don’t understand.
If I the culprit is the Golem, as I suspect, then Celis should be targeted as well. However, no such thing happened.
Maa, let’s tell about this to everyone later.
While I am listening to Tanya’s story, Sharon and Rithina come back to the room.
[Haruto…. Where did you kidnap this child from!?]
Sharon accuses me from the beginning.
This is a misunderstanding.
