Chapter 9: The Legendary Shield
In Oria, a country known for its art, Mario was struggling to make ends meet. Although he was once a promising young painter, the prolonged war against the Demon King’s army had drastically reduced the number of people willing to buy paintings.
“Why has it come to this… Do I have no choice but to give up painting and find a job?”
Mario had been praised as a genius since childhood for his artistic talent.… Read more
“That’s right. To get stronger in a short time, you need to do at least this much. I don’t usually buy this potion because it’s not cost-effective, but…”
Trao smiled pleasantly.
“It’s cheap for your sake.”
‘…What’s this? I’m not happy at all. I wish he’d say such words when giving a more thoughtful gift.’
“Oh, don’t worry. This isn’t the only one. I’ve prepared plenty.”
“Plenty?”
‘I felt like I’d been sentenced to death.’… Read more
The mountain where the god Kusanagi’s shrine was located was called a sacred mountain in Yamato.
It was a mountain of a height Rio and the others had never seen before. Moreover, it was surrounded by vast forests.
They had received a map from the king of Yamato, so there was a path, but since hardly anyone used it, it was little more than an animal trail.
“We have to get through this forest and climb that mountain?”… Read more
Chapter 8: The Legendary Sword
Trao and his companions headed to an island nation called [Yamato] in the east.
This country had a unique culture and was known among adventurers as the birthplace of the single-edged sword called katana.
It was also famous for enshrining the god Kusanagi.
“Since we’ve come to Yamato, does that mean we’re going to see the god Kusanagi?”
Rio asked Trao as the members of Garnet disembarked from the ship.… Read more
Chapter 7: The Monsters’ Money-Making Scheme
“Eeeek!”
The soldier fighting to protect the town from monsters was in a dire situation.
His opponent was a Chimera. A powerful monster with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a snake’s tail. Not only was it strong, but it was also highly intelligent. It saw right through the soldier’s intentions and cornered him, toying with him even though it could kill him at any moment.… Read more
Chapter 6: The Dealer
“Give Soara back to me!”
Abyss pleaded. In the dimly lit room, two suspicious figures wearing black masks stood before him.
Behind them lay Soara, unconscious.
Soara was a human woman, while Abyss was a demon man with silver hair and green skin.
“Well, you see, we didn’t really want to do this,” said the shorter, stockier masked figure in a fluent manner. From the voice, it seemed to be a man.… Read more
Chapter 5: Trao’s Business
Like experienced thieves, Trao and his group finished collecting the equipment and swiftly withdrew from the Demon King’s territory.
“Now we have funds for our campaign,”
Trao said with a satisfied expression. Thanks to their high-capacity, high-performance item bags, they were able to gather a large number of weapons and armor.
Meanwhile, the three from Garnet looked physically and mentally exhausted.
“Senpai, um… will the money from selling this equipment be enough to defeat the Demon King?”… Read more
Chapter 4: Things of Value
When Trao and his companions arrived at the scene, the entire area had become a hellish landscape strewn with the bodies of adventurers and demon soldiers.
Amidst the carnage where not a soul moved, Rio and the others stood in stunned silence, faced with the reality of the S-rank party’s total annihilation.
However, Trao remained completely unfazed and continued forward.
He casually picked up a weapon from a fallen adventurer nearby and, without hesitation, placed it into his item bag.… Read more
The members of Garnet followed Trao’s instructions precisely.
Rio gathered intelligence on the Golden Fang, discovering the route and schedule of the Demon King’s Subjugation Team. Lilith and Dominique successfully monopolized and resold essential supplies, reaping significant profits.
Finally, the Demon King’s Subjugation Team began their expedition.
With Trao joining them, Garnet followed the team from a considerable distance—about an hour’s walk behind—to avoid detection.… Read more
Chapter 2: Trao’s Underlings
After leaving the tavern, I headed straight to a house on the outskirts of town.
At first glance, it looked like any other house, but upon closer inspection, there were no windows on the ground floor, and the door was solid and sturdy.
I knocked twice, then once, then three times. Finally, the peephole opened, and someone inside confirmed my face.
“What’s the matter, Senpai?”
The one who greeted me was Rio.… Read more
