Childhood friends?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I nodded at Gullit's surprised voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The one being held back by Peal is undoubtedly his childhood friend, Tig.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They used to train together and defeat demons together.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He has a bit of a personality problem, but I never thought he had betrayed me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was a misunderstanding. I'm just here out of concern.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's not very nice. If you were worried, you wouldn't have to hide.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tig glares at Gullit's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Since when did this guy betray him?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It doesn't make any sense to know that, but .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tig, I'm sorry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tig glares at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was struck with sadness when I saw his expression, but I had a job to do as a Guilmouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I take a small, deep breath and change my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There is a possibility that Bishop Gupinath and Sarifee will not be able to talk to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If that is the case, it would be a good idea to get information out of Tig.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He has a short temper, and if we can exploit that, we can get him to give up quickly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I didn't know you were a traitor ....... Well, maybe the seniors knew you were going to betray them. That's why you were the slowest to become a high-ranking adventurer among your peers. Some of them even opposed it right up until the end."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Bother!　What do they know?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come to think of it, I remember that the previous guildmaster, Chemainta, was also worried about you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Bother!　You don't know this, but Chemanta is on our side!　I'm sorry to hear that. How do you feel?　How does it feel to be betrayed by someone you trusted?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's the worst.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But this confirmed that Chemanta was definitely a traitor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I believed the memories I recalled, but there was a part of me that wanted to deny it. But I have no more doubts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now all I have to do is to go to ...... Do you know where Chemanta is?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know that Chemanta is betraying us.　I don't have any thoughts about it. He's the enemy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I said I knew.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's a lie. When he left town, he said you didn't know yet, so use him for your own good. Ha, there is no use in being vain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is there no Chemanta in this town?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But still, aren't you even more light-mouthed than before?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not leading you on very well, am I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is it possible that you are lying?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I squinted at Tig.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He doesn't look like he's lying, but maybe we should shake him up a bit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You're as glib as ever," he says. That's probably why no one wanted you. Poor you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nah."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tig's expression becomes ugly and distorted, and he starts to lash out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tig smiles as soon as Piar's hand leaves his.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But soon after, he was held down once again by Gullit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked at Gullit and he cowered his shoulders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I knew that the "Wind" guys, including Gullit, were hiding something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

d*mn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You regret it?　Well, you look pretty good in that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't get carried away. Don't get too comfortable. You're already too late to do anything about it. The adventurers and vigilantes in this village go berserk with just one word from Arpy. I don't know how you got your ego back, but it's all too late!　Ha ha ha ha."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Arpy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You were a merchant in this village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I believe he had stores in other villages and towns.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, that's him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You talk a lot, Arpy. I am surprised that you can speak the name of such an important person so easily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I remember one time when our mission went to waste because of this lightness of speech.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't get too comfortable. If I don't get back to Arpy, the vigilantes and adventurers are going to run amok. Are you sure?　The village will be damaged. Ha-ha-ha-ha."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tig starts laughing eerily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'If it were an adventurer today, he could probably be contained by a vigilante.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You idiot. Did you hear what I said?　The vigilante works under our orders, too!　You'd better change your attitude toward me while you're at it. I'll cut you some slack. I'm a gentle man."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come to think of it, Tig has always wanted to be above people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He seemed chagrined when I became Guilmouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But he wasn't even a candidate because of his talkative nature and his tendency to make fun of people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I warned him many times, but he still couldn't get over it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But he had the guts and kindness to protect his friends at the risk of his life. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Tig, don't you wonder?　Don't you ever wonder how I came to my senses?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You did the trick in the first place, didn't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let go of me!　Are you sure?　You do this to me, and the people of this village will die. Or do you have a solution?　d*mn it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tig smiles at me disgustedly, and I feel a sense of disgust.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a lie that we get rounder with age.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's worse than it used to be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Surely, if the vigilantes and adventurers run amok, the damage will be huge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But the moment he heard what I just said, he gave me a nod and disappeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He probably went to Appath to report the incident.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He probably went to report to Appath, to ask for instructions from the Vigilante Commander, who has all the power to run the Vigilante.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If that's the case, order this guy to get his hands off me!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Why?　You're a criminal, why should I order you to take your hands off him?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tig looks up at me dumbfounded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What a dumbass.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I'll answer your earlier question. 'Do you have any solutions?' You said ...... there's an answer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, if the adventurers actually start to rampage, there will be a bit of damage before the vigilantes can get them under control.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That doesn't mean we won't listen to Tig's request.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's a definite.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's not going to happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And you asked me if I didn't find it strange that I'd regained control.　You blame it on the magic, but that's not true. I got myself back in a certain way. And the same method has freed the vigilantes from the jutsu. That's why your plan won't work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I regained my ego in a different way, but it's better to say the same way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There will definitely be an investigation into this matter later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They will surely come to talk to this guy, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The lightness of his mouth is also convenient for those who take advantage of him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a bit of a bulwark, but it's better than nothing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No way. ...... could it be a magic circle?　Are you guys using magic circles too?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're getting into.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I might have .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Garritt, I'm sorry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I ask Gullit while looking at Tig, who is mumbling something in a whisper, perhaps shocked by my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I need you to turn up his clothes and show me his belly and back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm telling you, it's not a hobby of mine. I just want to make sure that there are no magic circles carved on them like on Salifie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gullit flips his shirt up while holding it down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You're really good with your hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There were no magic circles on Tig's belly and back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm relieved about that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Just hold on a second, okay?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Return to the underground prison and grab a ring of slaves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Both the Adventurer's Guild prison and the Vigilante's prison contain people with magic carved into their bodies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's unclear what kind of condition will trigger it, but Tig will always do something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We'll just have to limit it to prevent that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ahhh, will that be a problem later?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Salifee and the others can be excused because they had a magic circle, but Tig didn't.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, I guess it can't be helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sorry for the wait.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I put a slave ring on Tig's arm while he was being restrained.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I thought you were going to fire him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The verdict's still out, you know. Usually, no.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gullit looks convinced by my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I peek at him gently, but he doesn't seem to be questioning the use of slave rings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... normally, you'd think something like that, wouldn't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Well, we've been through a lot, so I suppose it's possible.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Garritt, perhaps noticing my gaze, smiles wryly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Experienced, huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Behind the scenes?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know there are adventurers who solve problems that can't be brought out into the open.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Etchey had a job like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, that's one way to look at it, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I knew he wasn't just an adventurer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But what do you mean by "that's possible"?
