I had realized on my first day of visiting this city that I was being targeted. That’s why I implemented a plan to capture the girl who tried to poison me before.My plan isn’t that clever. Just putting a fisherman on the hook just like a fisherman. With enough patience, I was able to capture her.After capturing her, I dragged her to the outskirts where I’m currently renting an Inn. Upon entering the Inn, the Innkeeper owner, who was as young as me, was giving me a suspicious look as I walked with the unconscious girl on my back.“T-This is my friend who drank lots of alcohol earlier… She could not take it and fell.”I reasoned.The inner keeper made an inner glance at me, full of doubt.“...”“...”We look at each other awkwardly. She opened her mouth and said:“Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of girl who spills the beans. I met people worse than you. I’m simply doing my job here and pretending I didn’t see anything.”The inner keeper said in a bored tone. Turning her head back to the

The roof is secure, food is secure, and money is secure. I could stay here in the capital city for one week before going to my next destination. There are lots of things here to enjoy. This is called the capital city for a reason. Sure, everything is quite more expensive than in other cities, but that is something I already expected.I would like to study something in the library. Yesterday, the Knowledge library suddenly went on fire. The cause was unknown. The bookkeeper who helped me met her unfortunate end. Her end was so tragic and painful. Her body was burned down in flames.This flame incident is a great loss to the country considering how much knowledge is kept in the library. Unique magic books and studies all burned down to ashes.There is no way of knowing when a person is going to the afterlife. Everyone must cherish people and express their love to the people they love before they meet their end.I learned about the promise I made to someone. I don’t know who it was or wh

“I’m not a civilian… I’m an adventurer who volunteered to fight the invading monsters.”“I see… You’re an admirable adventurer. Most adventurers stay in the city. Run with their lives after seeing the giant monsters… Adventurers in this era don’t have the guts like the adventurers in the old times.”Most of them are not that strong to face those demonic monsters. Running might be the only choice for them to survive.“Have you seen a girl here earlier?”“You mean the girl crying with her mother's hand…”“Is she fine?!”“She is fine… I saved her from the horde of zombies earlier. She is now staying with the other survivors in the shelter. No need to worry, the shelter is protected by three powers. There is no way a demon or monster could breach inside.”Powers? I don’t understand… Hearing the tone of her words. They seem to be important people. A very strong one, I guess.I can breathe easily now… Knowing that the little girl I wanted to protect lived.A thorn in my heart has been remov

“Holy magic… You’re indeed one of the exceptional… Are you sure that you don’t want to join my party? I’ll offer you a mansion and talk to a high-ranked noble about your engagement.”Aster offered.“My answer won’t change… Status, wealth, and power are not something I desire.” I replied as I shook my head.“That’s weird. Those things are what everyone wants in life.”For sure, that was the case for certain people. I still believe that there are people like me who just like a nice and quiet life. Living peacefully away from dramas and conflicts.Still…“I wouldn’t mind if someone gave me some reward after this… I need money to survive after all.”I said.“Of course, you’re getting something… I saw you’re knightly heart in helping the weak. I’ll make sure you’ll get something after this chaos. There are still lots of monsters and demons around. The giant danger beast has been taken off by the other powers already. All we have to deal with is the small fry.”I happily joined her in defea

Is this okay?At first, I was happy about her taking me shopping, but after quite a time, I started to feel ashamed.We hang out together around the city under her care. By the way, her city is far away from the royal capital. The city is called Springwood city. A city surrounded by mountains, vast green forest, and wide grassland perfect for rising cows.Rice fields, farms, ponds, and many more things connected to agriculture can be found here. Aster also owned a private airship to transport her goods to other cities.The city is booming in wealth. People are nice and hard working. Every time we pass by, people always come to say “Hello” or wave their hands toward Aster.Her people loving her proves that she is truly a wonderful person.Good looks and kind heart… She is near perfect. Boys that don’t see her charms are truly blind. If I was a man, I would choose her to become my wife immediately.“Are you fine, Konoha? You’re walking too far behind me.”The glances of “Who is that gir
