Kujonin Chapter 66

“Well, then, bye~”
As we saw off the Earth Hero, Garcisan, who returned towards the mountain while waving his hand, the voice in my heart was repeating the words, “Well, d.a.m.n~” over and over again .
“Is that fine? He left . ”
Ayl, standing next to me as we waved our hands, asked .
“Um~ we know where he is at least, so it’s fine?”
“He’s an extermination target, right?”
“Just try killing such a friendly ossan . You won’t be able to sleep soundly at night . ”
“Well that’s, that might be true, but … it was G.o.d’s request, right?”
“It’s fine to just investigate and get the spirits fired . ”
“I wonder if we’ll be able to do that…?”

Garcisan seems to be running a plantation in a wilderness country even further away than the lake area past the mountains . He said he went to the lake for work and found out that there was an influx of monsters on the mountain pathway .
“Ma wife and kids are waitin’, so that’s it fer me(ora), hahaha . ”
During the course of the conversation, Garcisan, maybe he got used to us, began to speak with more of an accent .
Can I exterminate a person with a wife and kids, who refers to himself as ‘ora’? For now, I put this conflict on hold .
In the first place, if the Earth Spirit isn’t skipping out on work, we can’t get him fired, and so we won’t be able to exterminate the hero .
If that’s the case, I wonder what we should do .  Is it done if we just say, “He’s not neglecting his duties~”?
When we return, I’ll try asking G.o.d at the church .
Will that guy appear if I pray?
Well, whatever . He’s someone I’ve let go free for a while . That’s fine for the situation, I bet .
Anyway, right now is …
“I bet the locust hopper extermination is also finished . Let’s go back . ”
“Will there be a second wave?”
Ayl said, staring to the north of the desert .
“No way, right?”
The desert sky after the rain was blue, there wasn’t a single bug hopping around .

When we returned to the campsite, the surroundings around our tent were dyed red .
When I drew closer to see what had happened, it looked like velsa had used the smoke-type pesticide .

Because of the barrier erected against the rain, only the campsite area was the color of the mandrain pesticide, it seems .
“In the end, the swarm came flying all the way here, so I shoved everyone into our campsite . ”
Velsa explained .
There are crushed locust hoppers in the area stuck to the ground .

“Good work . My, it’s finally over . ”
Riddle came over .
“Seems so . ”
That’s right, I was supposed to discuss the matter about the compensation here .
“The operation was successful, so…”
When I said so, Riddle slapped my shoulder .
“I think, after we confirm whether or not there were any damages, the surrounding companies will pay the Komuro Company compensation . You can expect a large payment . I’ll make sure to report about you, after all . Please wait just a little while . ”
He beat me to it .
“Alright, everyone, gather up! Confirm whether anyone has died, or is missing! You’re still involved in the operation until we return!”
Everyone gathered at the big tent, and Riddle gave his orders .
There were some adventurer siblings missing, but they were found immediately in our campsite .
It seems they mistakenly leapt out into the smoking mandrain pesticide and both of them suffered magic power insufficiency, but it seems there’s no danger to their lives .
On the way home, it took a wagon two trips over 5 days to return all the members to Floura .

My company could return immediately, but we returned last just in case something happened .
When I had cast Cleanup on the campsite to clean it, checked for the mandrain pesticide and insecticide, and washed the pumps, the Blacks family butler came by .
Riddle and Jerry and the others had departed for Floura before us in order to report ahead, so there’s no one from the Blacks family here except this butler .
“Everyone, thank you for your hard work . ”
“Same to you . ”
“The operation this time would not have succeeded without the Komuro Company . From now on, with this time’s extermination operation as the base, I believe we will be able to make a counter-plan for exterminating locust hoppers . We hope to continue cooperating with you from here on out . ”
The butler bowed his head deeply .
“Aah, yeah . But our next job has already filled up our schedule, so we might not have all that much time . ”
“I understand . Our side has also become busy to some extent . And also … those adventurers have some business with Naoki-sama . ”
When I look, the Adventurers Guild’s elites that are left are trying to challenge me .
That’s seriously too much trouble .
Word seems to have gotten around about our defeat of the chimera too, and the battle junkies have been approaching me .
This is where I leave it to my Vice-president .

This is where I leave it to my Vice-president .
“Ayl-, the adventurers over there are coming to challenge us . ”
“Nna?”
Ayl turned her head, saw the adventurers, and let out a sigh .
“Seth-, Merumo-, go practice with the adventurers over there-, be their opponents- . ”
and she tossed it to the newbies .
I’m worried whether it would be alright to leave the adventurer elites to the newbies, but right now, cleaning up takes priority .
While I was tidying up, the sounds of battle were fierce and ferocious, but this is probably a good experience for our newbies . Our Vice-president’s commands seem to be precise .

“So? What about the reward?”
Velsa asked as she packed the pumps in a box .
“’Wait just a little while,’ he said . ”
“I hope they pay up properly . ”
“Ah, right . After defeating the chimera, we met the  Earth Hero . ”
“Ah, is that so?”
“Yeah, he said he had a plantation on the other side of the lake . ”
“Heeh~, By lake, you mean the one to the east, past the mountains? That’s Seth’s hometown, right?”
“Is that what it was? Then let’s try calmly going towards the mountain to drop in on Seth’s hometown . We’ll investigate, and if it feels like we can get the Earth Spirit fired, we’ll fire him; something like that . ”
“Is it fine to go at it so casually?”
“Isn’t it fine? It seems like it would be enough for G.o.d . The Earth Hero seems like a really nice ossan . ”
“What, then it feels like we can’t exterminate him, huh?”
“And since that’s how it is, we’ll treat it like a company vacation . ”
“Nice! A company vacation! Ayl- let’s look for a nice inn-!”
Velsa and Ayl carefully discussed how they would gather information .
Things like, should we make a request like, “Looking for information!” at the Merchants Guild, or which peddlers would know the best inns; they discussed those types of things very seriously .

After that, for 4 days, nothing happened in particular, and we hunted and at monsters, took baths, stared at the stars, and slept; in other words, we were lazily camping around .
The newbies were beat up by the adventurers, and the adventurers were also beaten up by the newbies, so there might have been some point to it .
Velsa had taken Ayl into the desert to investigate monsters .
I also went with, when I was awake .
When I was left behind because I was asleep, I’d talk with the Blacks family butler, asking about the Alliance .
It seemed they made the Alliance to counter the threat of a hostile northern country .
It’s ancient history, and it seems that it’s been 200 years since the warring periods, and there have been no battles here .

It seemed they made the Alliance to counter the threat of a hostile northern country .

And then, I also talked to Balzak for the first time in a while .
Because it happened late at night, I didn’t hear anything but Sera’s snoring .
“Hey, it’s been a while; how’s it been?”
[“Ooh-! Naoki-sama, it’s been a while! Recently, the Sheepmen have delivered a mat . It’s a product given as thanks to Naoki-sama, it seems . ”]
Oh yeah, I asked for a mat .
“I see, please feel free to use it . ”
[“Yes, it’s extremely comfortable for sleeping! Naoki-sama, where are you currently?”]
“Aah, I’m in a city called Floura, in the Ruginia Alliance . I made a company . An extermination and cleaning company . ”
[“A company in a foreign country, is it? Going after bagroaches and the like as always . Are you going to live in that city now?”]
“No, I’ll be traveling around all over looking for heroes . Ah, right, Balzak, if you hear of any information about the heroes, let me know . ”
[“Heroes, is it? Do you want to meet the heroes or something?”]
“For extermination?”
[“You’re going to exterminate the heroes?”]
“Ah-, see, I met G.o.d…”
[“G.o.d? By G.o.d, you mean, the G.o.d that the church prays to and wors.h.i.+ps?”]
Explaining this is so annoying .
“Well, yeah . N~ it’s troublesome to explain, but I took a request from G.o.d…”
[“An oracle? Naoki-sama was blessed with an oracle? To exterminate the heroes? Are you sure it wasn’t the Evil G.o.d?”]
“Ah-, as for the Evil G.o.d, I did meet him . He was fighting with G.o.d . ”
[“… I’m sorry . My old mind isn’t catching up to the topic . ”]
“I see, well, I’m just glad Balzak seems lively . ”
[“It seems Naoki-sama has far since surpa.s.sed the normal level of convention … so what are your intentions?”]
“My intentions… right now it’s to be a company employee . Although I’m the president . ”
[“So going out on a journey and acquiring employees?”]
Is it weird that I left on a journey as an adventurer and am now running a company? I guess it is .
[“BANG! Nananananaoki-sa – ack-! Ouch!!!!!”]
Looks like Sera woke up and crashed into something .
“Yo, doing well, Sera?”
[“I’m fine! Right now my little toe hurts!”]
“I see, same as usual . ”
[“Where are you right now?”]
“Right now, a foreign country . A city in the southern part of the Ruginia Alliance, Floura . ”
“I see, same as usual . ”
[“Where are you right now?”]
“Right now, a foreign country . A city in the southern part of the Ruginia Alliance, Floura . ”
[“I’m going to write you a letter! Please tell me the name of the inn!”]
“Well, I think we’ll stay in the city for a while, but it might be better to send it through the Merchants Guild . ”
Even if we change places, if it’s through the Merchants Guild then they can contact us and safekeep it, probably .
[“M,merchants Guild?”]
[“It seems he made a company . ”]
Balzak responded for me .
“That’s how it is . Right now, I’m a company employee . ‘I am a businessman . ’”
[“Fufufu, is that so? That’s how it is! Please leave me the position of Vice-president!”]
“The Vice-president is someone the two of you know, Ayl . You know, the Adventurers Guild instructor . ”
[“Wha! That woman! Since when!? I understand! If I defeat her with magic, then it’s fine, right!?”]
“Well, if you can . Anyway, that’s how things are over her . I’m glad the two of you are alright . Then, later-“
[“Yessir!”]
[“Wait, I haven’t gotten to talk that much, Ah-…”]
I closed the communication bag .

I also contacted Teyl as well, and she embarra.s.sedly reported that she had a grand wedding, and they were expecting .
[“To think I became pregnant at this age…”]
She sounded happy, so I said, “Congratulations!”
Wasn’t Teyl around 50 years in age? Will the delivery be alright?
When I asked, it seems that she has the long-living elves’ blood mixed in her veins .
She didn’t know herself so she was startled, she said .
After that it became stories about her husband, so I cut it short .
Even so, it’s a happy matter .

When I reported it to Ayl and Velsa,
“ “ I see! She must be happy! I wonder if she won’t explode!” “
They said .

“Well, then, bye~”. As we saw off the Earth Hero, Garcisan, who returned towards the mountain while waving his hand, the voice in my heart was repeating the words, “Well, d.a.m.n~” over and over again “Is that fine?
