"Mr. Burgess!"

Mr. Burgess!"

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

I and the man who seemed to be the head of the neighborhood watch shouted at about the same time.

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

What are you doing?　What are you doing here?

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

Burgess walked up to us as we were surrounded by the vigilante and the shopkeepers.

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

We've captured two men who appear to be affiliated with the Black Wings band of thieves. They will be interrogated at headquarters and then crucified.

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

A vigilante man who seemed to be acquainted with Burgess began to explain the situation.

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

A band of thieves?　They're my friends.　These guys are my friends..."

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

"Well, no...but..."

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

The vigilante man slurred.

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

We are supposed to be the only brave party or black wings. He explained to Burgess that we were in possession of a special relic that was supposed to be from the Earth Ruins.

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

Burgess listened to this with a wrinkled brow.

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

'Isn't it obvious?'

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

Burgess opened his mouth.

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

Albus and Loloi there, and me and Chris here, we'll form a party. We went down to the deepest part of the earth ruins. That's when we got the relic.

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

"Heh...?"

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

The vigilante man froze with a strange voice.

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

'That's absurd!

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

Even the troop of the great merchant Noppoi couldn't reach the deepest level and came back.

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

Isn't it said that the lowest level was already buried under the bedrock?"

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

The shopkeepers around us were also astonished.

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

It is up to each one of you to believe or not believe, but it is a fact. The fact that Albus has that special relic is proof enough.

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

Burgess said.

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

"Really?

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

No, but..."

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

But if Mr. Burgess says so..."

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

The murmurs grew louder...

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

Gandra and the two vigilantes turned pale.

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

Apparently.

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

It looked like me and Loloi were not going to be crucified naked.

→→→→→

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

I'm so, so, so sorry!

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

The antique dealer, Gandra, who had grabbed me at first, was rubbing his head on the ground and apologizing to us.

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

The place was the back room of the antique shop.

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

Gandra, me, Loloi, Burgess, and Clarice.

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

And Burgess, Clarice, and two men and a woman who appeared to be the head of the neighborhood watch.

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

There were also two men and a woman who appeared to be the head of the vigilante group.

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

They were all huddled next to Gandra.

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

Leroy was standing next to me, devouring grilled meat with a recovery potion as a drink.

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

I said, "Well, if that's the case. You should have said so.

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

One of the top members of the vigilante group. The woman said so.

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

I didn't tell you that we had conquered the ruins of Earth. I could have told you under the circumstances, but no one would have believed me, would they?　If I had said something bad, they would have suspected me even more.

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

"Ugh..."

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

The woman seemed unable to say anything more.

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

The woman seemed unable to say anything more. Did you really..., did you conquer those ruins?　After your party, there are many treasure hunters who have tried, but no one has appeared to follow in their footsteps.

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

Fearfully. Gandra asked Burgess.

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

Ah..."

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

And Burgess said.

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

I told him that I was a former member of the brave party, and that I still remember the path I took when I conquered the ruins.

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

'No way!　It was the same brave party that had the relic that only a party of heroes should have!

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

The man from the vigilante group was in awe, but he couldn't help but shout.

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

I'm the 'former' one. I've already been banished. I'm just a baggage handler in a party of heroes.

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

I answered him.

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

In any case," he said, "thanks to Albus, we were able to get to Earth. Thanks to Albus, we were able to conquer the Earth ruins. In a manner of speaking, he played a leading role this time.

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

I see...that makes sense then. This story all makes sense. ......I apologize to Albus's husband for the trouble I caused him with my hasty decision.

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

He said. Gandra once again rubbed her head against the ground.

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

The fact that she was so prostrate, I was beginning to feel that it was time for me to get some sort of closure.

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

I was about to make some kind of settlement when I heard her bowing, but it didn't amount to a single mana.

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

No...I'm really sorry... I'm sorry.

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

The most important thing to remember is that you should not be afraid to ask for help.

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

But that's not what I'm trying to say.

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

We are both businessmen. Then... you will repay me this favor through business.

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

Yes...yes!　Of course. Was it an appraisal?　I'll do whatever you want.

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

Of course. You'll give me at least half price, right?

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

I was going to blow him off with all my might.

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

What Gandra gave me was a surprise.

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

I said, "Of course not!　In apology for the trouble I've caused you, I'll give you a free evaluation of your husband!

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

For real?　Isn't that a big profit?

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

In my head.

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

The cost of the appraisal was zeroed out...ding!　The cost of the appraisal was reduced to zero mana.

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

"......"

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

But...but...

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

That's too one-sided.

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

It's true that he had caused me a lot of trouble, but it's not good to take advantage of that too much when you're going to be a business associate for a long time.

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

Gandra, you're in business too, right?　Free is not free. How about a discount on ......8?"

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

I think I can get at least a "cost plus a little bit.

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

"Heh...?　Heee?

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

Gandra's eyes widened and she cried a little.

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

Thank you for your concern!　Albus' husband!

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

I've given you a bigger discount than I originally told you, and now you're thanking me for it...

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

It was a strange feeling.

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

Ugh.... I am ashamed of myself like this. ...Albus's husband is definitely the caliber of a great merchant.

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

Gandra was saying such things with more tears in her eyes.

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

Angry, depressed, crying...

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

He's a busy old man with a lot of emotions.

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

This kind of conceited type.

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

They are a nuisance if you make them your enemy, but if you get them on your side well, they can help you in many ways.

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

It didn't come free (just)...

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

Considering the total number of relics we wanted to have appraised, this discount rate was pretty huge.

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

Albus... "Profit! I'm not sure what to say.

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

Instead of me, Loloi said something like that and smiled.

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

What the heck.

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

It seems that everything has been settled.
