When I woke up I was turning into a potato worm.

I was being flown by another world.

Became an adventurer.

... and lost everything.

Mr. Grey, who I thought had been killed at that time, kept me alive. It wasn't all gone.

See Lars still bleeding but stopped moving. His face gave him a distressed look and his eyes remained open.

Lars defeated him.

But it's not over yet. My status plate (black) is not back. Envy is still alive. Lars said Envy was back on the continent.

... a continent.

"I'm done."

"Oh."

As we nodded at each other... Lars' body, which should have been dead, jumped. I try to set up a composite bow and release an iron arrow, but Mr. Gray controls it with his hands.

"No, it's over"

Lars' mouth, which was dead, opens. A lot of blood spills out of my mouth.

"but... gi, gisa mara... gu, you did it... My vengeance... or not... the other demons... took us... just... thieves... oh, well..."

Lars said what he wanted to say and stayed put and stopped moving down to the front. Lars seems to be completely dead this time.

Vengeance...?

"You're alive."

I'll check again.

"Oh, you were alive, too, Mr. Lang."

I snort.

After that, Mr. Eela helped me into the owl.

"I see. I was supposed to rendezvous in the owl. My sister was taking me for treatment in the mogul. I don't know because my sister told me there was a body of Mr. Lang. I'm glad we're safe."

"Oh, you're right."

"You owe it to Mr. Lang that I survived. That's when the leaves of the world tree that I got stopped connecting me with my life."

Was it? I'm the one who saved you... is that it?

"I'm here ahead of time, so I think my people will be here soon. And then there's the military."

Yeah? The crusade was tomorrow, wasn't it? Is it working today?

"Uh, it's hard on the adventurers in Swirlow, they were insurance when we failed."

I see. Then they couldn't do anything, so I guess they did something wrong with the reward.

"Uh, that's a reward. The Empire will pay you properly. They gave me money to do nothing, and I'm not supposed to complain."

Mr. Gray picks up the true silver sword Lars had.

"Finally, my sword..."

Mr. Grey glances at the returned true silver sword and groans. It's enough behavior to know even with a mask on... good for you.

"Is this the end of the bandit commotion?"

"Gigiji, don't let me finish this on my own."

It was Mr. Sword Ahat of the Ant Clan who showed up saying so.

"Jiji, Ran and Gray did well too. But they haven't found my search yet."

It certainly was. It must have been a dragon-drawn emblem.

He's one of them.

That's what Mr. Sword Ahat says and sees Lars' remains.

"In the back."

"Mr. Military, what about my people?

"Hmm. Gigiji, they're watching the entrance with my men."

"Rikai. Do you want to go in the back?"

That said, Mr. Gray cuts off the lock that was attached to the back door with a true silver sword. There are two beautiful locks that look sturdy.

"Even so, how long are you going to wear that mask?

Mr. Grey said "Ugh" to my reading and immediately removed his mask.... what was the point of that mask?

- Two...

The back room was the treasure trove of the bandits. Paintings, pots, magical swords, shields, armor, etc. like various works of art. Not many, but all this seemed like a luxury substitute.

"There was... Gigiji, did you hit it here?"

Looks like we found Mr. Sword Ahat's search as well.

"Oh, did they find you?

Mr. Sword Ahat nods.

"Mm-hmm. Gigiji, good to have it. If this place was hazy, we wouldn't know how much we could never go back to the country. We're both grateful. Jiji, I won't forget this favor. When you come to the Empire, you must count on me."

Yeah, let me rely on you to the full extent. I'm ready to go to the mainland, too.

"Mm-hmm. Apart from that, of course, I'll let you pay me. Gigiji, this time, make sure you pay more for the most active Run and Gray party."

"Say hello to the other parties that were gathering information."

Mr. Sword Ahat nods at the words.

So, what are we gonna do with this pile of treasure?

"Uh, it would be mostly stolen, so it would be under the jurisdiction of the Adventurer Alliance. After the appraisal, you can get anything you haven't requested, so you're free to sell it."

Um, what happens to the way you divide it?

"Gigiji, I'm the one who gives it away, it's not necessary."

"Because I want money... Mr. Run, by splitting up our party with Mr. Run, how about that?

"No problem."

It was eventually decided to divide it in half on an amount basis. If you want something, you can have it for up to half the price. If you have a handy magic kit, you might want to take it.

"So do you want to go back inside the Swirlow with the Adventurer Alliance"

"Gigiji, you're a triumph."

And Mr. Gray's companions, who rendezvoused at the entrance - a forest woman with a bow and a woman wearing a purple robe... was it a harem party - and Saud Ahat's two men were to go back inside the swirlow.

Come on, let's go home.

I was told later that the woman in the purple robe seems to be Mr. Gray's sister. You think I was on my way inside the owl (to brag about a true silver sword) to scout a forest woman with a bow? I hear your sister went inside the owl ahead of time for that.
