42. Return The Darkness
Inside the tent, he faced the Duke, who was in a good mood.
'Thank you so much, Satou-san, Seren is going to almost be Ciclo's.
I'm glad I could help.
I was relieved to see that Seren has fulfilled his assignment.
We're discussing Satou-san's compensation at headquarters, and I'm expecting three things to come in.
Three?
Selenium's drop buyout and Mr. Sato's tax exemption.
I've heard that.
It was offered to me when I left.
'And, to a lesser extent, there will be a cash reward as well.
Okay.
That's a reasonable line.
'The dungeon chief is running to prepare a year's supply of fine sugar, I'm told.
I don't need that much!
Like a year's worth of sugar.
...... Wait a minute, what's that year's worth of sugar based on?
......
Duke looked away.
'Not by her standards, is it?Not really her standard, is it?That's not her standard, is it?
...... very much from my mouth.
I said it three times without thinking because it was important, and Duke looked away.
I knew it was a year's worth of ...... that dungeon chief standard.
I'm a little vexed because I feel like they're going to push a lot of sugar on me.
Stars.
I leave the tent and try to get back to Emily's place.

Now that I'm done with what I have to do in Seren, do I stay here a bit longer or do I go back to Cyclo already?
I decided to discuss it with Emily and decide.
The area around Seren is still buzzing as usual, rather than the guys who were called in by Heero, who started hiding in the dungeon to produce a normal drop - a normal drop - without any sense of interruption, so I'd say it's even more crowded.
The adventurers hiding in the dungeon, the ones supporting them, and the ones trying to make money by selling their goods.
Roughly by the thousands, by the rough count, the place was as crowded as a little town.
Yes, if I'm going home, I'll buy some gifts for Elsa and Ina, who are always so helpful to me.
There are many vendors for this purpose, so you should have no trouble choosing a good one.
Then we should stay here for a few more days and earn some money before we return.
While I was pondering this, I suddenly noticed something strange.
The crowded area around us has disappeared.
No, they haven't disappeared completely.
The air as a hustle and bustle has disappeared.
Instead, I was surrounded by people.
I was surrounded by opponents who were obviously hostile to me.
The men surrounding me from a distance of about five meters away.
The men were staring at me with an evil expression.
There are roughly ...... twenty of them.
What the hell is this?
Don't feel bad.
The man in front of me, the one with the chipped front tooth, replied.
He asked me to punish you a little. I'm not gonna take your life. I'm just gonna have to break your arm and put you out of commission for a few days to make sure you're punished for doing too much.
...... hetero.
It's a vendetta against those who lost their jobs to you.
I see.
Maybe it was the adventurers that Heero called in, and they lost their jobs because of me ...... and maybe they weren't paid, so they resented me and went on a revenge killing spree.
I don't like it, but I've got to pay for the fire that came down on me.
The second I pulled my gun, the guy raises his hand in the air.
The next thing I know, a magic circle stretches out from underneath me.
"What is this?
I know how you fight. So you're going to pull out your trump card?This is a magician's circle that disables flying objects.
A flying machine?
It's like a magic storm, an artificially created one.
A magic storm, a weather-like phenomenon where you can't use magic when it's coming.
So it's this magic circle that's doing that artificially and making it impossible to use flying tools.
That's pretty elaborate.
Huh. Come on, boys!
I gave the word and they all attacked me at once, men surrounding me.
I put my gun away and clenched my fists.
I ducked the first man who jumped at me and punched him away.
I ducked the first man's attack and punched him away, and the man squirmed and flew away.
What?
Their leader is in a state of disbelief, and he has a look on his face that says, "I've never heard of this.
"You know, I almost had a gun when I came to Seren.
What's this all about?
As long as you don't worry about efficiency.
He kicks the ground, steps in, and dives into the man's pocket.
Then, aware of holding back a bit, he unleashes a body blow.
The man's body bends into a "ku" shape, and he lets out a gasp of stomach liquid.
"I'm stronger without a gun.
I grew up with nihonium seeds, strength S and speed A.
Seeing the leader fall and fainting in agony.
The men turned the tables and pounced on him all at once.
Powerful and speedy.
Leaving it to her basic abilities, she takes down the men one by one.
I don't even miss a beat.
Monsters are defeated and dropped, but the same people don't have to go that far.
All you have to do is take away their fighting ability.
And so within five minutes, every single one of the men had fallen on top of the magic circle.
''Silly, na......''
Groaning, frustrated men.
All of them are sprawled out, holding somewhere. It's hard, isn't it?
Nothing personal against these guys, so I pulled out my gun.
The magic circle is still glowing on the ground, but I'm pretty sure that won't be a problem.
Lock and load - shoots the leader.
Bullet pops out, leaving the leader pinned down and unable to resist.
A white light surrounds him.
It's a recovery bullet that was shot.
I shot a recovery round at all of the men who had been knocked down in the magic circle of the flying tool invalidation.
I'm not going to be the only one to have a problem with this.
I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.
They all recover in a flash, confused as to what happened.
''You can use your flying tools ...... and what the hell are you ......?
The leader man is speechless.
One last threat - so I thought and shot an annihilation bullet into the ground.
It seems that there was something there to activate it, shooting an annihilation bullet into the middle of the magic circle of the flying object invalidation, the magic circle disappeared without a sound, gouged by the annihilation bullet.
I don't think this kind of thing works on me. And-
He holds the gun to his head and looks around.
There is no next one.
I threatened.
The men shook their heads like broken dolls.
