Madman in a Fantasy World

49. invitation

“But I refuse.”

“Yes…? I haven’t told you what kind of request it is yet?”

“I still refuse.”

What is a nomination request?

I’ve explained it before, but let me explain it again.

Even if I die soon, I need him! It can’t be without him!

I want to give this baby a big fuck anyway! I can’t wait to see you suffer by assigning you to a quest you wouldn’t normally solve!

such a request

I haven’t heard who nominated me yet, but honestly, how many people do I know in this world?

If I had to ask, there was no one except for Adela and Isaac, who had been commissioned a while ago.

So did Isaac nominate me?

How long has it been since you solved the request, and it must have happened again.

If it’s a territory where incidents happen that often, it’s better to just blow it up and throw it away.

So what remains is the latter case.

It is clear that someone made a nomination request to give me a big taffy.

I don’t know who the opponent is.

But he probably nominated me because he knew me.

I don’t know what kind of evil bastard I am, but do you think I will obey you?

In the first place, nomination requests have the right to refuse, so there is nothing wrong with me even if I refuse.

“That… Mr. Luke? Why don’t you listen to it…?”

“Aigo… Yui. That’s why you’re no good. If you’re like me, you’d want to see someone trying to trick you just like that?”

What kind of personality is the person who entrusted that request?

Just looking at it, it’s not like he’s willing to do something with it because he’s A and I’m E.

I enjoy it the most when I say no to a guy who thinks he is the top.

The look on those faces when they get flustered.

Seriously, just imagining it makes the corners of my mouth go up.

“Anyway, I’m not going to do a nomination request, and I’m going to rest today because it’s annoying.”

I told Adela my intention.

He had just returned from completing a quest.

There’s no way I’ll be able to work again as soon as I get back.

I didn’t sleep well last night, so I’m thinking of getting a good night’s sleep and waking up on the bed today.

Even though I told Yui earlier that I was a hideous hikikomori in the corner of the room, I wasn’t any different either.

Anyway, with the pay I received today, I can play and eat for a week.

“Is that so… It’s a pity. It’s not like nomination requests come in often.”

“That’s a nomination request. It’s a mine for short.”

“Still, the fact that a nomination request came in itself means that awareness has increased that much.”

Originally, even celebrities have anti-fans, and high awareness is not necessarily a good thing.

“Anyway, we’ll go rest now.”

“Yes. I will decline the nomination request.”

After that, we had a simple breakfast and headed straight to the inn to relieve the remaining fatigue.

***

The day I returned, I played with a barrel, and the next day, I headed to the adventurer’s guild to see if anything was missing.

Since I was promoted to King Slime this time, I was wondering if I would be able to go up to B-class with just a few more.

“welcome.”

Today, I started my day by receiving Adela’s greetings.

“Ah. That’s right, Mr. Luke. There’s a nomination request you heard about last time, right?”

“I told you not to do that.”

“Yes. So I refused, but he asked me again with a higher reward.”

“?”

Am I the only adventurer?

If you need a C-class adventurer, you can just take anyone and use it, but why are you so obsessed with it?

Did the young lady who had heard of my heroic story beg her father to make a request?

“Are you going to refuse again?”

“Mochilong.”

Who would like to step on a landmine by walking on their own feet?

“Okay. I’ll refuse this time too.”

At first, I thought that if I simply refused, I would give up on my own.

I didn’t know this young.

Even the next day.

“Mr. Luke. A nomination request came in today as well.”

“I don’t.”

the next day too.

“…that Mr. Luke. Today too…”

“I’m not buying it.”

Also on the next day.

“Luke—-.”

“Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

What the hell are you kid doing? I was obsessed enough to question it.

The remuneration went up every day.

The reward, which started with 50 silver coins at first, now exceeds 1 gold coin.

and the next day.

flutter.

When I went to work at the Adventurer’s Guild in the morning, Adela handed me a request.

It must be said that there is no need for words anymore.

“Hey Adela. Is he mentally ill?”

“Ah, I’m sure it’s not…?”

Adela doesn’t show her flustered appearance except in front of me, but it’s already proven how obsessive she is when she panics.

“It’s strange… If you look at the client, he’s obviously a noble…”

Aren’t aristocrats rather mentally ill?

Nobles were only strange people.

A very sane, intelligent, and educated person like me must be rare among the nobility.

“Where do aristocrats these days live locked up in their rooms and read newspapers?”

Ji is a military communications officer.

It’s not like I’m the only adventurer in the world, so why bother?

“Well, but at this level, why don’t you take a look at what kind of request it is?”

“Adela. Let’s be honest. It’s annoying.”

“…ah, no?”

If you’re going to say no, don’t twitch your shoulders.

How annoying would it be to write down and send paperwork every day to say no?

To be honest, Adela would be more annoyed than me.

All I have to do is say no, but Adela has to do the paperwork and send the rejected request in a letter.

But every morning, the rejected request will arrive again.

“Adela. Shall I go and kill you instead?”

“Please don’t…”

I did say that he was just trying to trick me with words, but it’s fair to say that his intention to trick me has already been half-successful.

‘If I had developed myself in the time to do such a thing, I would have solved it myself.’

This is why I always say that people in this world are stupid.

“Well, I’ll listen and see.”

“thank you!”

You say you don’t bother and you like it that way?

I guess it was annoying too.

“The requester is Crown Rodion, the head of the marquis family. The content of the request is to wipe out the monsters that have recently increased near the marquis territory.”

“What monster is it?”

“It’s not written in detail up to that point… The only thing written in the other requests is that the reward is 2 gold coins, except for the word to nominate Mr. Luke.”

It must have started with 50 silver coins.

Suddenly, it increased to 2 gold coins, which was 4 times bigger.

I guess I should have been an investor.

It is one of the greatest regrets that I did not do stocks and coins in my previous life.

“Luna, what do you think?”

“It’s kind of strange. The contents of the request aren’t clear, and it’s also strangely obsessed with Mr. Luke.”

“You are Yui?”

“I think it’s good! Even if there’s a trap, I don’t even think that Mr. Luke will get hit, and a 2 gold screen is enough money to just play and eat for over a month!”

He is also a former hikikomori.

I wonder if the thinking mind will work somehow.

But I am of the same opinion.

“Let’s try something.”

***

somewhere underground.

The dark wide room was strangely empty.

The fact that there was a round table that was so large that it was strange that it was just there.

A large candle was placed in the middle of the round table, barely illuminating the periphery of the round table.

People in robes were sitting on chairs around the round table.

“Borg is dead.”

A heavy bass sound spread throughout the room.

It’s so heavy that it feels like the temperature in the room has gone down a bit.

“Gigkick. You mean that bastard? The one who jumped at me without knowing the subject matter and was beaten and ran away without his tail?”

This time it was the opposite voice.

It was a man’s voice, but it was a voice that resembled that of a madman.

“That bastard deserved to die from the start. How can he go and fight when he’s so weak?”

“Be careful with your words. Even if Borg is weak among us, he’s a demon. No matter how injured he is, he’s not a guy who’s going to be beaten by sleazy janitors.”

Demons are a disaster.

Ordinary people can’t use their hands, and it doesn’t make sense that no matter how weak the demons are, they can’t escape and die.

The man who did not know the full story of the incident thought so.

“Come to think of it, I can’t see Kurga either?”

vacancy.

There are already two vacancies at the round table.

One is the exiled Borg.

And one is Kurga, who was recently tasked with assassinating the academy.

“Kurga also died during a recent mission.”

“Fuck. They say weak people get along with each other, and it seems like they’re going to die soon.”

“Anyway, it’s clear that our power has been reduced.”

Even though it was weak, two demons had already been defeated.

It’s never something to look at lightly.

“Strength? Combined, the two of them are worse than me, but what’s their strength?

“Recently, even a vampire who was preparing to invade the territory died.”

The vampire he had prepared in advance.

They were a device to reduce the power of the empire even a little by invading territory far away from the empire.

but died

“Hey… Did you even get a vampire? How did bats who are good at hiding get caught?”

This time, it was a woman with a sweet voice that could predict her appearance even if she listened roughly.

“I personally investigated it, and it was all done by one party.”

“Did you move the A-class adventurer party?”

“No, the investigation into him has already been completed.”

“It’s fast too.”

“Come in.”

– Knocked up.

As the man spoke, the room’s only doorway opened and a person entered.

Unlike other demons, humans did not wear robes.

“How’d it go?”

“That, that… I’ve already tried to lure them in several times, but they’ve all been rejected…”

“You do that yourself. If you fail, you’ll be the first to die.”

“Yes, four! I will definitely lure you in!”

When the man waved his arm and issued a congratulatory order, the person who had entered closed the door again and left.

“So? How?”

“I’m going to lure him to the manor he just entered. You go and deal with it, Lilith.”

“It’s finally my turn? I almost fell out of my neck while waiting~”

“Don’t be vigilant and handle it with certainty.”

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

The conversation ended there.

The robed demons surrounding the round table were enveloped in black mist and disappeared.
