Different Lives Former Candidate Hero

Ch. 20 - Greanille the Apprentice

When he regained consciousness, his hands were tied back.

「..... hmph」

He exerted strength and tried to tear apart the restraints.

"Rush. It is a high level magical fastening tool 」

After noticing that the woman had woken up, Furio came to greet her with a smile. [TN: Raw says "smile wryly", but eff-yuu-cee-kay that crap]

This is Furio's living room.

Hearing what she said, the woman gave up trying to break the binding device and scanned her surroundings.

「...... Being arrested is a lifelong failure for me ...

The woman gritted her teeth in frustration and closed her eyes.

「Why did you go that far just to look for Arpshow? The order to catch him seems pretty heavy, if you ask me 」

Arpshow is the name Furio used in the city where he used to live.

This woman was ordered by her boss, a nobleman, to capture and bring Arpshow back, but ......

…… Judging from his presence, there was no doubt that he was a Devil, so his boss must also be a Devil. [TN: Furio's Mind]

Furio began to consider this and that.

「Listen, can't you tell me more about your situation? Maybe I can provide help, depending on the situation 」

"I refused. Kill me. The punishment for a shinobi who fails in his mission is to die; and not even leave my corpse 」

He immediately rejected Furio's offer and turned around.

With a smiling face, Furio placed her hand on her thigh.

Then, without telling her, she invoked the Mind Reading spell, grabbing memories of the sequence she received.

…… hm ...... hmmh?

After a while, Furio's face was sad.

「...... Greanille-san, let me confirm this: the order is" Catch and drag the Arpshow back "?」

"That's right"

A quick reply, which only the Arpshow could realize. [TN: Raw says Wry Smile again, but we've had enough of that]

"I understand. Then let's do this. I will remove the binding tool for now. However, please return to the Demon King's palace and double-check the contents of your mission with Uriminus. This is in return for your release, what do you think? 」

「Wa ...... Wait a minute !! How do you know my name ?! I never introduced myself! You even know the name Uriminus-sama !? What the fuck……"

"What are you thinking?"

Unable to say anything in front of his terrifying aura, Greanille swallowed his words and simply nodded.

Furio watched him leave and saw his figure vanish as soon as he left the house.

「..... Husband-sama, it looks like you touched the woman's thigh for too long」

Lys appeared behind him, wearing an intimidating aura. Sensing the cold sweat creeping down his back, he ended up spending hours explaining himself.

◇◇ A few days later.

「...... I sincerely apologize」

Inside Furio's living room, Greanille takes a dogeza posture.

After meeting Furio, he returns to the castle and confirms his mission with Uriminus and ……

「Find Arpshow's whereabouts at all her fees, if possible, invite her over her」

「That means" Find the man, catch him and drag him back ", I take?」

「...... where do you see the words" catch "and" drag "it?」

「As Master said. The order was not to capture him, but to find him and obtain permission to guide him back to the castle. Therefore, I was wrong for jumping to conclusions ...... 」

It seemed that he had managed to make Uriminus so angry, to the point that his hair was burning here and there.

Through Thought Reading's spell, Furio realizes that Greanille misunderstood the contents of the order from Uriminus, so he sends her back to the castle for reconfirmation and now laughs at the expected result.

…… Greanille is a diligent woman, but she seems a bit hot. [TN: Furio's Mind]

「If you don't tell me to go back and check, I will definitely make a mess out of this situation. From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful 」

Greanille slammed her forehead on the ground.

Valyrossa could no longer bear watching the scene, so she made Greanille stand up by pulling her arm.

「Are you really ...... will forgive my very foolish actions ......?」

「More important to look to the future. You should stop worrying too much about the past 」

「...... I can't say thank you enough」

Grenanille cried at the words of Valyrossa.

Afterwards, Furio and everyone chatted about various things with Greanille, who was already calm.

Greanille is an intern who was recently assigned to Silent Ears & is a direct intelligence agent under the command of Uriminus.

For this mission & ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For this mission for this mission for this mission for this mission for this mission for this mission for this mission for this mission _____________. However, the scale was too large, so it required a lot of manpower. Therefore, even novices like Greanille were sent.

「This is my first mission, so I want to do something meritorious and end up cutting corners....... it's sad ...」.

Greanille sighed, a distant look on her face.

Thereafter.

Greanille was assigned an intel gathering mission around Houtau, so he went to the city to gather information from the people who came and went.

「Suami-sama, won't you introduce yourself to him?」

「Although he was just an apprentice, it was confidential information. I think we should let him until he knows 」

Lys nodded at Furio's words.

「But ...... doesn't this mean little to him .....?」

「Then should we tell him? Maybe the Demon King doesn't really need to see me, but Valyrossa? 」

「What ?! W-WHY?! 」

Valyrossa froze at what Furio said.

「A-That must be because" it's "..... I pointed a sword at him ... he came to take revenge on me....」.

Valyrossa muttered to herself as cold sweat formed on her back.

「Do you have a fever or something?」

「I'll send you flowers ~」

「.....guh! (Full spirit approve Vilerie idea) 」

Not noticing his 3 companions, Valyrossa collapsed to the ground.

Sabear in her Horned Rabbit form tapped on her shoulder calmly.

◇◇ At the same time ・ In the middle of Houtau city

「You lil 'punk! Are you just going to remain silent after hitting us ?! 」

「Sick, sick, boss !!」

Next to Atariya, Koui rolled around on the ground while holding his shoulder.

In front of the two of them was a female knight wearing luxurious equipment who was currently disguised as a man.

「...... I'm sorry I hit his shoulder. But you keep blaming me...... That means both of you are scammers, am I right? 」

Saying so, the knight unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the two.

Amazed by such grace, the deceivers…

「N ... No. ... a-we do not mean …… ……

After judging that this target was bad news for them, the two fled.

「Gosh, this kind of trash is everywhere, wherever you go」

Sighing, the knight quickly withdrew himself and scanned his surroundings.

「First, I need more information ..... I guess I will look for clues about Arpshow-dono in Adventurer's Guild or tavern ....」.

Saying so, he pulled his hood.

Behind his robe was the emblem of the Magic Kingdom of Kryrode.
