The LV.99 Middle Boss, Starts His Second Life with Subordinates!

　After 100 years, the Goblin Restaurant has completely changed.

 

　Every corner of the cafeteria has been thoroughly cleaned, and there is a sense of care for those who eat here.

 

　However, the unpretentiousness of the goblin pavilion was still present, and I felt hungry just sitting in the chair.

 

　Apparently, the three goblin brothers are getting along just fine.

 

 

　Anyway, [Unsummon] seems to have succeeded.

 

　A technique that traces “bonds” between the summons and me to the place of my summons.

 

　So to speak, it is an application of the concepts of the spell [Summon].

 

 

　It was meant to be an experiment, and I didn’t expect it to succeed in one go.

 

　And it took me to the place where the three of them were gathered……

 

　I couldn’t help but feel a smile spread on my face.

 

 

“Sergeant.”

 

“Huh, yes!!” (Sergeant)

 

 

　Sergeant tightens his purple body firmly.

 

　It seems that he has gotten much younger in the past hundred years.

 

　His body is elastic, firm, and transparent like a newborn slime.

 

　Furthermore, it seems that a considerable amount of “poison” has been accumulated, and for me now, just touching him will kill me instantly.

 

 

“How is the training of the newcomers going?”

 

“Thanks to Narugoa-san, I been able to grow and expand my subordinates! The number of employees has nearly doubled in the last hundred years, and on the contrary, the early turnover rate has dropped to almost zero!” (Sergeant)

 

“Don’t be too confident though, isn’t it great… Kyuuketsu?”

 

“Ye-yes!” (Kyuuketsu)

 

“You seem to have been working out… a lot.”

 

 

　Former middle managers are most afraid of is sexual harassment scandals.

 

　So, I carefully choose my words before saying it, and… it seems that it was the correct answer.

 

　The vampire bat made an embarrassed “teehee~”.

 

 

“I’ve been feeling better since I ate that… dish Narugoa made for me a long time ago!　I’ve gotten over my aversion to internal organs and now I work out every day! Look!” (Kyuuketsu)

 

 

　Kyuuketsu takes a stance, makes several jabs that cannot be followed by my eye, and then followed with a kick that cuts through air.

 

　Her movements are as sharp as those of the top warriors.

 

　The pale faced girl who used to wander around the dungeon and talk in a dying voice was nowhere to be found.

 

　Her well-developed muscles show how healthy she has turned into.

 

 

“Kyuu-chan, it seems that Narugoa’s cooking has awakened her to being health conscious, and she’s quite troublesome.” (Alraune)

 

“Why! There’s nothing wrong with being healthy!” (Kyuuketsu)

 

“Isn’t Kyu-chan leading the undead? They were complaining that Kyuu-chan persistently recommended vegetables every day.” (Alraune)

 

“Because everyone is just eating meat and it’s definitely not good for your health! Their complexion is also bad!” (Kyuuketsu)

 

“They’re undead, so it’s natural…” (Sergeant)

 

 

　Kyuuketsu puffed up her cheeks while her wings are fluttering, and Sergeant can’t help but exhales a deep sigh.

 

　Somewhat

 

 

“… I’m really sorry at that time, Mid-Boss-san.” (Sergeant)

 

“No way, it’s not worth it to fight alone for us…” (Alraune)

 

“I understand that this is all our inexperience, so I apologize even if what I said can’t be forgiven, but …” (Kyuuketsu)

 

“You shouldn’t apologize, I’m the one at fault…. If I were a little bit better as a Mid-Boss, I might have been able to turn the Cave of Silence into a great labyrinth that could even defeat the Hero Party.”

 

“That’s wrong! Narugoa-san has done a great job for us!” (Sergeant)

 

“That’s right! The Cave of Silence has become a huge labyrinth that can’t be ignored in the last 100 years! And it was because of Narugoa-san!” (Kyuuketsu)

 

“…Thanks.”

　Even though it was a flattery, the words struck my heart.

 

　Indeed, I used to have good subordinates.

 

　Well, anyway…

 

 

“Why don’t you let me go, Alraune?”

 

“…” (Alraune)

 

 

　Alraune does not respond.

 

　With her arm around my waist, she tightly and silently doesn’t leave.

 

 

“Ah… Narugoa-san, I’m sorry, but can you leave her as it is? Al-chan, seems to have put up with it a lot.” (Kyuuketsu)

 

“Is that so.”

 

 

　I don’t understand the meaning of the words, but I nodded for the time being.

 

　It seems that Alraune’s daily stress have accumulated.

 

　Her whole body is bright red probably because she drank too much alcohol, and she feels hot enough like she has a fever.

 

 

“I wonder if this will be a big deal when she sobers up…” (Sergeant)

 

 

　Is the word of Sergeant.

 

　I still don’t know what they are talking about.

 

 

　But anyway.

 

 

“I’m sorry, [Unsummon] as a time limit, so I’ll explain things briefly.”

 

 

　――Thus, I started to explain the outline of my situation to the three people with Alraune wrapped around my waist.

 

 

　That day, when I faced the Hero Party alone, I was suddenly stabbed by a monster that had joined the party and was killed.

 

　Then I narrated what happened next, I was reincarnated as a human boy with no memory, and 100 years have passed since then.

 

　Just a while ago, I regained my memory after summoning my “hands”.

 

　And now, I used [Unsummon] and it is a means to temporarily summon myself.

 

 

　They were surprised, but did not doubt my story.

 

　I made it short and easy to understand.

 

　After all, the main topic starts now.

 

 

“–I’m going to spend some time in Gatel as a human boy.”

 

“What!?” (Alraune, Kyuuketsu, & Sergeant)

 

 

　The three people, including Alraune, were surprised at this.

 

 

“What do you mean, Narugoa-san!?” (Sergeant)

 

“You have your memory back…!” (Kyuuketsu)

“Why… why do you need to pretend to be a human!? You’re Thousand Hands Narugoa! You should stay here forever! As the Boss of the Cave of Silence! Everyone is waiting–” (Alraune)

 

“That’s why.”

 

 

　I cut Alraune’s words.

 

 

“… I’m happy, but I still don’t know the purpose or identity of the perpetrator, and I can’t put you in danger until I find out.”

 

“You are doing it again… all by yourself.” (Alraune)

 

 

　She looks like she’s about to cry.

 

　…… What an amazingly good person.

 

　For someone like me, she would make such a face.

 

 

“I have regained my memory, I don’t know if this is good or bad for the perpetrator, but I can’t deny that the perpetrator could take some action.”

 

“… Then I’ll protect you! Hundreds or thousands of times over–!” (Alraune)

 

 

　At the point where Alraune said so far, a magic formation appeared at my feet, and my body began to turn into light.

 

　…… Time’s up?

 

 

“Thank you Alraune, but you’re protecting the Cave of Silence, I will continue to ask you to.”

 

“Yeah… yeah! Okay! You’ve always been that kind of person! But if you’re in trouble, call me right away! I will defeat any enemy right away!” (Alraune)

 

“Please call me too! I will help you with the small power I have!” (Sergeant)

 

“Call me too! I’ll show you the my Bat Fist!” (Kyuuketsu)

 

“… Thank you everyone, if I really find myself in a problematic situation, I’ll rely on you at that time… See you later.”

 

 

 

　I smile and say goodbye to them for now.
