Chapter 118: Business Trip End

A week has passed since my business trip to the Betzel branch.

The shop is finally settling down after rounds of curious customers.

It’s about time for me to completely entrust the branch to Bat.

[Well then, we’re going back to Luganda. Take care of the rest over here, okay?]

[Ehhh, Yuusukecchi, you’re leaving?]

Complaining, with a disappointed look on his face, was the lord of Betzel, Leymus.

Over the past few days, we’ve spent a lot of time together at the shop and have become quite close.

[I’m sorry, Ley-chan. But you see, I’m Luganda’s lord, so I can’t be away forever.]

[Well, I suppose it’s understandable.]

[I’ll be back in three or four days to restock. Take care of Bat for me.]

[Yeah, you can leave him to me.]

I’m sure Leymus will make time to visit the dagashi shop every day.

No one would purposely cause trouble at a shop that’s being visited by the lord.

That being the case, I could return to Luganda with peace of mind.

I was with Bat on the way here, but the one I’m with on the way back was Michelle.

Since the time she visited, Michelle didn’t return to Luganda, staying in Betzel all this time.

The Dark Thunder Chocolates she eats for snacks makes me hear heavy confessions day after day, but well, that isn’t really something I should complain about now.

I don’t really get freaked out by anything she’s said, except for that one remark about resurrecting me with necromancy and loving me even when I’m undead.

[Come to think of it, how many levels did you have, Yuusuke?]

That’s an understandable question.

We originally set up a branch to raise my level.

Our objective was to find out when and where lightning will strike.

The initial goal was to level up and refine my Clairvoyance.

However, the reality was that my level hadn’t improved to the extent that I had hoped for.

[To be honest, my level hasn’t increased that much. I’m far from being able to see the future with Clairvoyance.]

With our current pace, I probably wouldn’t be able to see the future with it.

In fact, I feel I’ve suffered significant damage both mentally and physically from the recoil of using that magic.

[Don’t overdo it.]

Michelle looked up at me anxiously.

[I know.]

[Ahh, I’m regretting what I’ve said now.]

[What you’ve said?]

[You know, about resurrecting Yuusuke with necromancy if you die……]

[That huh……]

[I’m gonna revise that. If Yuusuke dies, I will die with you! Let’s be happy together in heaven!!!]

Either of those are heavy, but I guess it’s a little better?

It looks like I’ll be spared from being turned into a monster.

[I told you already, stop thinking about me dying. Just think about our happiness together.]

I couldn’t really ask her to live after I died.

I’m not sure if telling her such words would be a good or a bad thing for Michelle.

Living is a blessed thing and dying is an unfortunate thing.

It may be instinctive for living beings to feel that way.

However, as a person who had died once, it was indeed a question with an elusive conclusion.

Once we left the main road, the path quickly became rough.

The road to Luganda is still rough.

If the road is eventually improved by the Zord, it should be more convenient for the residents.

[I’ll have to work a little harder……]

Extending my hand above the horse, the nearby Michelle silently squeezed it back.

We arrived in Luganda before nightfall.

We had only been away for a week, but I’m somehow feeling nostalgic.

[Yahagi-sama!]

Nakaram-san came running up to us, rocking his huge macho body.

He sure looks as powerful-looking as ever.

He’s actually a man of tender feelings though, someone who hates conflict. Only his appearance looks quite scary.

He’s the kind of person who enjoys keeping rabbits and planting clover all over his garden.

[We’re back, Nakaram-san. Did something good happen?]

.

Nakaram-san looked excited, but there was no trace of concern on his face.

An interesting incident must have occurred.

[Welcome back. The day before yesterday, the Golden Sheep has finally been subjugated.]

The get-rich-quick monster that had been causing such a stir in Luganda had finally been subjugated!

[And the Golden Fleece?]

[The Golden Fleece has properly dropped. I have it in my possession at the moment, but it would be a shame to leave such a valuable item in our hands. I couldn’t sleep well last night because of it.]

The macho man, hunched over with a troubled expression on his face, had dark circles under his eyes that made him look pitiful.

The person who subjugated the Golden Sheep was an adventurer named Zonder.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

He’s in his early 30s and is a solo adventurer.

He was originally a member of a veteran adventurer team in the Royal Capital, but all the other members of his group except Zonder were killed on the 5th Underground Floor.

He was a survivor, but after that, he dived into the dungeon without teaming up with anyone.

[I decided to make a fresh start in the countryside, but I never expected I’d be able to take down such a big catch.]

The middle-aged adventurer with short hair, a fearless face, and countless scars on his body peacefully smiled.

[In any case, congratulations. You can make a substantial amount of money with that.]

[Well, that’s certainly the case, but it’s rather difficult to sell it…… Can’t Lord-sama do something about it?]

If they want to sell the Golden Fleece, they can get a better price in the city.

However, the Royal Capital is far away from here, and there are many risks such as encountering robbers.

There’s also the possibility that the money he exchanged for the Golden Fleece may be stolen.

[If you’re worried, want to go to the Royal Capital together with me? I plan to go to the Royal Capital at the end of the month to sell the magic stones we have accumulated. I will also meet Prime Minister Essel, so I can ask him to introduce us to some good nobles and merchants.]

[Please. I would be very grateful for that!]

This is also the duty of a lord.

Taking out my shoulder-pole stall, I tie the Golden Fleece on it.

By thinking “Close” in that state, the Golden Fleece would be stored in the inter-dimensional space along with the shoulder-pole stall.

This is a good measure to make sure no one could steal this treasure.

[Well then, you should just prepare for when we will travel to the Royal Capital. Michelle will be escorting us, so you don’t need to worry.]

[She could certainly defeat even a company of knights by herself after all.]

[If it’s for Yuusuke’s sake, I’ll beat them all up even if they bring a battalion!]

I don’t want to lead this world into a warring era.

Being able to protect my friends and property from bandits is already enough for me.

[Don’t overdo it, okay? You also can’t change the terrain. The Royal Geographical Institute will complain.]

[I know already.]

Putting my hand over Michelle’s shoulder, she happily rubbed her cheek on mine.

That kinda puts off everyone around though……
