The Boy Who Swore Revenge On The World Chapter 44

“Oi, are you ready?”

“Wait, Darl-nii. Just a little longer”

Darl who calls out with an astonished voice to Pilc who’s choosing the few clothes he has in order to appear even just a little bit stylish. Both Tierra and I have a bitter smile.

Although it’s true that today is the long-awaited day of the oracle, there’s no need to worry that much about the attire, right. Even though Tierra, me and naturally Darl as well are the same as usual.

“Hora, we’re going!”

“Aa! Do, don’t pull!”

And then, Pilc was dragged by Darl who got tired of waiting. Geez. I leave the house while pus.h.i.+ng Tierra’s chair.

“Emma, I’m leaving everybody to you”

“Un, Tierroneechan, it’ll be great if you can get a good occupation!”

Emma who hugs Tierra. Because she’s in a position that’s similar to being sat on top of, Tierra looks like she’s in pain. Furthermore, the children who saw that went to hug Tierra one after another. It’s because she’s loved by the children huh.

“Hora, you guys. We’re heading off so separate from Tierra. It looks painful, right?”

However, it’s already time to head off so, as one would expect, I separate children from Tierra. The children move away obediently and wave their hands altogether. How over the top.

“……uu, even though I planned to have a stylish-looking me get my hands on a good occupation and become popular amongst the girls who were at the same place”

“……You, that’s too dreamy”

At a distanced location, Pilc says something baffling and Darl is astounded. Is this alright.

“Fufuu, let’s go, Mars”

“Aa, that’s right”

I push Tierra’s chair and start walking. Sent off from behind by the children who are saying ‘Have a safe trip’, we head towards the church.

Apparently, even us who hadn’t lived our life significantly like going to school or whatnot can receive the oracle at the church. Basically, there are opportunities for any kind of children.

“Well then, what kind of occupation does Mars prefer?”

“Ah? What occupation huh”

I think about Tierra’s question that came out of nowhere. The occupation I want to be huh. I look at Tierra who’s facing the front. Isn’t something like that obvious. The occupation I want to be……

“Somethin’ like that is obvious, isn’t it. An occupation that can make money”

“……Mars-like huh”

Tierra who says that to me with a tone like she’s amazed……there’s no way I can say it to you, right. It’s too embarra.s.sing.

“If that’s the case, what kind of occupation does Tierra prefer?”

“Me? If it’s something I can do regardless of my immobility then anything is fine”

Tierra who says that and smiles. Tierra as well, isn’t it very Tierrlike. Well, it’s because Tierra’s like that that I want to be together with her though.

“Well then, even if it’s an occupation that doesn’t suit you, I will be by your side helping you”

“Fufu. If that’s the case, if Mars occupation is a bust then I’ll make money for you”

We say that and laugh together. I’m not aiming that high. It’s fine even if it’s something average. As long as it’s something that can be for her sake, even if it’s just a little.

We who were laughing together while heading to the church didn’t realise the gaze that stares at us from behind.

I guess we’ve been walking for about 20 minutes. We finally arrived at the church. There is a queue of children forming in front of the church. At a spot that is a slight distance away, there are those who rejoice and those who despair. Those who rejoice have gotten a good occupation and those who despair have gotten an occupation that doesn’t suit themselves.

“As I thought, there are a lot of people~”

Just as Pilc said, there really is a lot. It may be a given if you think about how the children within the capital are gathering. We also line up with that queue. In the order of Darl, Tierra, myself and Pilc.

It’s proceeding little by little but, there are regrettably a lot of children. So much so that it advances by a person every couple of minutes. I’m waiting while thinking, ‘This is going to take some time huh’ and, a large conspicuous carriage stops before the church.

When everybody is looking, the carriage opens and a man who’s like a butler alights from within. And then, a plump man who’s about the same age group as us alighted afterwards. Is he the son of a n.o.ble or something?

Carrying on as it is, the man ignores the queue like it doesn’t exist and enters the church. In truth, he should be stopped but, the person they are dealing with is a n.o.ble. It’s troublesome just to deal with him. When we were ignoring him in that manner, the n.o.bleman looks over here suddenly. What is it?

We look without even knowing what’s going on and for some reason, he got closer to us. And then he looks at us, no, to be precise, he looks at Tierra who’s in front of me. He scrutinizes and undresses Tierra with his eyes without thinking about the nuisance he’s causing her.

Tierra is exceedingly beautiful even amongst her age group. So much so that those older than her are no match for her. So much so that if her legs weren’t impaired, it feels like she wouldn’t be with people like us.

“……Wha, what is it?”

To the Tierra who raises her troubled voice without knowing what’s going on, the n.o.bleman just stares. And then he leaves after a while and entered the church.

“What is with that fellow?”

Darl sighs and mutters as he looks at the back view of the n.o.bleman who enters the church. We wouldn’t have such a hard time if we know that though.

Although such thing happened, the queue proceeds little by little and it finally became our turn. To start with, Darl goes to where the priest is and have the oracle granted to him first.

The occupation Darl received was a considerably rare one called,『Sword Master』. It’s an advanced occupation of Swordsman, he’ll be able to handle a sword even if he has no experience if he holds a sword or something like that.

We are a bunch who never had the chance to hold something like a sword, it’s a given that he didn’t realise it.

And then, the next one who received the oracle was Tierra. I push Tierra until the front of the priest and I move away. And then the occupation she was bestowed upon was one called,『Spirit Sorcerer』.

The priest who heard that occupation returned to the back of the church though, is something the matter? Tierra who looks at me anxiously from afar. When I convey through my lips that it’s alright, her anxious expression crumbles.

The priest returns after a short while and, Tierra returned to where we are as well. When I try to ask her what she was told, it seems it’s an occupation that’s not commonly known so he went to investigate it. Something like that happens as well huh.

And then, because it’s finally my turn, I go until the front of the priest. I knew when I got closer to the priest that the priest has his mind on Tierra’s matter. As I thought, is there something regarding the occupation just now?

The priest who noticed me looking coughs with a ‘Gohon’ and bestows upon me the oracle. The sensation of my body becoming warm. This is the oracle huh.

“Fumu, there are many rare ones this time around huh. Your occupation is an occupation called,『Dark Knight』. An occupation that is the counterpart of『Paladin1』, it’s an occupation that rarely appears. Be proud of it”

I was told that and my turn ended. Dark Knight, is it. Isn’t Paladin a famous occupation that even appears in stories. The counterpart of that means……isn’t this an occupation that is even more amazing than I imagine?

“How was it, Mars?”

“Nn? Aa, it was a rare occupation called the Dark Knight or something. I hear it’s the counterpart of Paladin or something”

“Hee~, amazing huh”

Tierra says that and smiles. However, the priest just now has also said it but, there are many rare occupations amongst us. With this, Pilc is……

“Fuu, my occupation was one called the Acrobat”

Un, it’s rare in a sense. But, it’s Pilc-like. This fellow’s height is about 150cm and he’s nimble as he appears. I guess it’s also thanks to his occupation.

“Alright, shall we return since everybody’s finished”

With Darl’s words, we return home. I wonder what I’m capable of with this occupation. I’m told that I will understand it naturally though. I look forward to understanding it.

“Have you found out about that girl?”

“Yes. It appears that, she is apparently an orphan from the slum. However, the church’s people were sniffing around”

“Muu, is there something?”

“I do not know but, because those who live and received the oracle with her have apparently all gotten their hands on unique occupations, there is a chance that that might be the reason”

“Is that so. Alright, tell Chichiue and have the church cooperate as well. After that, make those fellows in the slum cooperate as well. Make that girl my slave”
