As for the present, I'd say that Marnell and his friends and I are on good terms.
　But the memory of the time when Marnell and his friends barged in was a nightmare for me.

　...... After all, I could hardly communicate with Marnell and his friends at that time.

　It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're going to do with your money.
　The struggle to calm down Marnell and the others in such a state of mind, that remains vividly in my mind to this day.

'I'm sorry for making fun of you all this time,'

The way you beat Fenrir made me think twice.

　That's why I could only nod my head at the sight of the adventurers apologizing, as I had visions of Marnell and the others.
　Why did I have to face this kind of trouble as soon as I regained consciousness?
　The desire to get to Narsena as soon as possible further deepens my despair.
　On the other hand, Laila-san, who is next to me, has an expression on her face that says she has figured out the general situation.
　With that expression on her face, Laila-san tapped her ear.

...... Well, does it feel like the adventurer you've been torturing just now realized what Lausto is capable of and came to apologize?

　I could see the anger in Lyra's eyes as she asked me that, and I could see the anger in her eyes towards the adventurer.
　I shake my head, feeling sorry for causing needless anger.

'No, not to the best of my recollection,'

What?

　So again, I don't even know the name of this adventuring party.
　In other words, I don't remember them being friendly to me, nor do I remember them ever treating me with hostility to me.
　I don't remember anything other than the extent to which we really crossed paths.

　It's true that in the past, there was an atmosphere in the labyrinth city where it was natural for people to make fun of me, so it's not surprising that these adventurers were talking behind my back.
　But what should I do when they apologize for talking behind my back?
　It's not enough to get angry over backbiting.

　There are dozens of people who have abused me on the surface.
　I don't have time to worry about backbiting.
　The current situation is much more troublesome than such backbiting.

　For a moment, the thought of saying that to the adventurers in front of me and running away from here comes into my mind.
　However, I quickly shook that idea out of my head, saying it was useless.
　I know from the incident with Marnell and the others.
　I'm not going to be able to get away from the adventurers if I tell them that now.
　I'm not going to stop stalking them unless they feel they've been forgiven.

　Knowing this, I try to keep the conversation going anyway ......, but that doesn't mean I can't come up with the right words right away, and I stammer.

'Uh, um, .......'

......!

　At that moment, the shoulders of the adventurers, who were still bowing at my words, trembled greatly.
　Then I realized that the adventurers had made a new misunderstanding with their words alone, and I looked up at the ceiling in a daze.
　Really, how could we get into this kind of trouble?
　I noticed that an indescribable feeling of pity flashed in Laila's eyes as she looked at me, saddened by our disagreements.

　The adventurers, who didn't notice us, and still refused to look at us, opened their mouths.

...... I know it's a bit of a bug story.

'Especially since we were about to flee the labyrinth city when the Great Sword of the God of War lured us away.

　...... Why are these adventurers trying to apologize to me, so forcefully?
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
　That's the reason why these adventurers are worried.

　Currently, the adventurers who escaped are forgiven by Ronald-san, and there are no adventurers who show their dissatisfaction even outwardly.
　But the escaped adventurers also know that this is not a sign of a lack of dissatisfaction.
　They know that they are only surviving because of Mr. Ronald.

　And because they know this, the adventurers in front of me may be overly afraid of me.
　After I defeated Fenrir, Ronald's influence may be meaningless to me.

　Little by little, my face becomes serious at the conviction that I am understanding the inner workings of the adventurers.

''Yes, ....... Even if you end up remaining in a labyrinth city with top-notch adventurers, you're just as guilty if you're lost.''

I'm really sorry.

　...... No, if you're not running away, I hope you don't make it complicated.

　I vomit inwardly when the adventurers' words let me know that my imagination was all wrong.
　I'm a little embarrassed because I felt like I understood it on my own.

'I don't need a monologue like that ......

　Lila's muttering from right beside me, and I inwardly agree with her greatly.
　What kind of response should I make to such a confession?
　What exactly do these adventurers want to do?

　I can't hide my confusion at the sight of these adventurers confessing to their crimes, even though they haven't done anything serious.
　To be honest, it would be more convincing if they just came to make fun of me in the guise of an apology.

　It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it.

''So, I'll at least show you some sincerity.

　We were stunned by the suddenness of the situation, but the man who told us this suddenly put his hand on what looked like a weapon on the ground.

''Huh!　What?

　Suddenly, I almost stood up and noticed that the ...... man had picked up a weapon wrapped in an expensive looking cloth.
　The man keeps the cloth draped over the weapon and holds it out to me.
　Confused, the man announced as I took it as quickly as I could as quickly as I could.

'At least to make up for it.'

　What was the purpose of this weapon being handed to me?
　It's not until right after the man told me this that I understood.
　I'm sure the adventurers are trying to hand me this weapon as an apology.

　I'm sure you're not the only one who feels guilty.
　I'm not particularly angry with the adventurers in front of me, and I don't think they did that much to me.
　And yet, is it right to receive such a thing?
　However, if I push back on this, the adventurers may well make a mistake in the day after tomorrow.
　I'm not sure what to expect, but I decided to remove the cloth that covered the weapon for now.

...... Eh?

　Then he saw the tattered great sword that appeared from underneath it, causing him to scream in stunned disbelief.
　The leader of the adventurers handed me a large sword with a fine hilt, which I could tell was made by a famous blacksmith.
　However, the blade is completely rusted and is unlikely to be usable as an ornamental piece of equipment, let alone in a real battle.
　I didn't expect to be handed such a thing here, so I froze in my posture with the large sword out of the cloth.

''I didn't expect to be spotted in an instant!

　But how he misunderstood my attitude, the leader man proudly announced.

''That's right. This is the true magic sword that is said to have been made by that dwarf!　It was bought from the Guild of the King's City through the Guild staff of the Maze City!

　Seeing the leader man declare that loudly, I finally understand.
　It seems that the adventurers in front of me were cheated out of quite a bit of money by the guild staff.

　...... The great sword in my hand is nothing more than a piece of crap, not even a magic sword, not even a quasi-magic sword.
