Chapter 60

efore she could .

「Shadow Magic . 」

Aah, I’ll say this now, but of course I’m not going to use Shadow Magic at full strength in the middle of the street .

Even if the men of the general public who heard Amelia’s voice were looking at her with eyes like beasts, they were much preferable than these guys who were just standing there .

Besides, even if I had Amelia put on a hood now, it would be meaningless when we stood out this much .

If that’s the case, it would be much better to prove that I’m strong and have them give up .

『Way to go, Master-dono . 』

「Guaaaa!!」

「Sh*t! What is this!!」

「This is bad, this is really bad! I can’t get it off!」

The condensed shadows struck the men’s eyes .

And, controlling it remotely, that shadow covered their eyeballs .

In other words, they would not be able to see for a short while .

I was not able to display my strength, but they should understand my abilities from the people who saw .

「Hou, not bad . 」

Suddenly, someone from among the spectators raised their voice .

The crowd of people parted, from among the noisy people, a tall man walked over in a relaxed manner .

Those ears and tail, he’s probably a leopard .

Dark clothes hugged his body, a man who seemed refreshing .

However, that face was a noh mask, his facial muscles were completely frozen .

「Th, that voice is…!」

「Th, this is bad!」

「S, sh*t!!」

「Why is that person here!?」

Based on the reactions of the men and the spectators, it seems that he’s someone important .

Even though he seems young, how amazing .

Also, it’s extremely loud .

「Now then, first off, why don’t I introduce myself . I am the person who manages the Adventurer Guild in this town, my name’s Linga . Please take care of me, human child . 」

「I’m Oda Akira . Best regards . If you are the guildmaster, then this will be quick . This, is the letter from the elven king . 」

「Hou, for the guy who hates writing to write this, it seems that it’s quite the situation . 」

The people around us were getting noisy because I called Linga-san ‘you’, but the person himself didn’t mind it, so I won’t either .

TN: the ‘you’ here is あんた (anta) which is a more informal/rude version of anata . There are different forms of ‘you’ in Japanese, so I’ll make a note of it here so that you guys won’t be confused .

When I gave him the letter of the king of elves, Linga-san immediately broke the seal and began reading it .

「I see, this is quite interesting . And he has messy handwriting . 」

「Don’t say that in front of his daughter . 」

When I glanced at Amelia, Amelia didn’t seem like she minded, rather, she seemed restless under Linga-san’s gaze .

「Fumu, that guy’s daughter, which means you’re Princess Amelia, huh . You’re quite brave to come here at this time . 」

「…at this time?」

I asked this in response to those words, that he muttered as if impressed with his hand on his chin .

What did that mean?

「You came without knowing, huh . Maa, it’s fine, we can’t talk here, so let’s go to the Adventurer Guild . …aah, you’ve right where I need you . Yamato-kun, after expelling those lowly people over there from the Adventurer Guild, confiscate all their possessions and throw them into the jungle . 」

「As you ordered」

Turning on his heel, Linga-san, as if he just remembered, coldly looked down at the men whose eyes were still being suppressed and squatting down, and gave that order to the nearby young man .

It seems that the people working for the Adventurer Guild were unexpectedly nearby .

Linga-san continued walking, and the crowd of people parted .

The people’s eyes that were looking at Linga-san, were filled with fear .

This person, I wonder what he did .

「You are quite the schemer as well . 」

Along the way to the guild, in a less populated area, Linga-san said this and looked at me .

I gave a meaningful smile .

「You saved me when you went with it . With this, Amelia should be safe for the time being . 」

「Eh… . Akira, what are you talking about?」

Amelia and Yoru were blankly staring at me .

These two people were extremely honest, or perhaps I should say, they’re pure, at any rate, they were utterly ignorant of things such as schemes and traps .

I explained it to those two .
