"Thus ... Etto, the sale of the eight thousand crystal stone monsters was eighty million gold. Congratulations, Mr. Kyle. For the matter of emptying the guild vault you are the only one who can do this as long as the history of the adventurer guild in this city is established."
When I saw Luna was a bit limp watching something she meant drained out of it, well ... I will start to feel the heat around me.
"So he's the one! Woy, that dragon slayer apparently has taken the money that should be our income!"
"Damn it! I can't payday today!"
"I am too."
While everyone started talking about me behind my back, I also could not escape the sight of the person whose face felt familiar to me, for the time being.
"You're still here, armored girl?"
When I called Princess Elijah that. Well ... I did do it on purpose so that he would get upset and leave here immediately.
Everyone who heard that except Elijah looked at each other in confusion.
Elijah pouted said to me while grunting in annoyance.
"You must come with me to the palace. Besides, the one who deserves the award isn't me, you know?"
I shook my head hearing that.
"I can't. Didn't I tell you I didn't want to look too flashy?"
"Duh, basic class head. Then what about the rewards? You don't think I'm just inviting you to the palace without giving you anything, do you?"
Well, if Princess Elijah were to say that.
I smiling meaningfully said, "It just can't be. I did not want after that the king to give me some kind of special position to utilize my power. I've had enough of my job as a simple manager and adventurer, I don't want to bother getting involved in royal affairs afterwards."
Sometimes I feel that this girl also has the same intention, which is to recruit me to be a member of her knight army.
Also, after seeing how I overcame those 10 thousand monsters so easily. I'm sure that's what's in his head.
Well, just in case it feels hard to refuse direct rewards from the king, but at least my freedom is still guaranteed as long as I don't go to the palace.
"So that's it, huh? I think I should give up for now. You know, even though your attitude is this, but I also need your strength to fight the demon lord."
I tilted my head when Elijah said that.
"Isn't that the duty of the hero in this kingdom?"
"Indeed, but we're starting to lack people right now. Right, I'm the only one left of the five heroes that the Relia kingdom has."
Ugh, what?
"I thought heroes would never die in battle?"
"Oh, hey. If there was such power then I wouldn't have bothered to chase after you until now. But about you who should have earned the right in exchange for defeating the demon lord's army alone I'm serious anyway."
After saying it Princess Elijah left the guild with no more sentences than, "I won't give up." before the sound ... ... ... Tsuu~ wind that blows and resulted in silence in the room for some time.
"Eh, etto ... Mr Kyle, don't tell me that girl was the Princess?"
"Yes, Elijah Von Relia or whatever it is called."
I shook my head justifying Luna's words.
And Luna's face then turned pale before her mouth turned into an "O"── shape What really happened?
When I turned my head the other way, everyone was now looking at me after the silence turned into something horrendous as if they wanted to say.
"That's right! You just turned down the Princess' offer?!"
...----------------...
[Master ... Masters ... Do you know what it means to deal with a stubborn girl?]
"Yes, I only found out after she came to my house herself."
When I intend to go home at once my lodging, well ... I saw someone with armour standing there as if waiting for someone to come.
Its bad. If I don't see it wrong, she's a blonde girl with eyes watching the surroundings.
"Don't tell me Elijah came alone to my inn?!"
Busset ... We had just been separated for a few hours, he already knew where I was hiding. The connections of the members of the royal family are indeed terrible and cannot be underestimated.
[Isn't this good, Master? At least your inn can become famous after receiving guests like royalty.]
What's famous, huh?!
"Master, can I teach him a lesson? I want to beat up the woman who's been bothering Master."
When Claude who was already carrying a sword appeared from within my magic circle, well ... Please don't do that! I'm serious!
"No need, I'm not sure he'll wait until midnight anyway."
Of course, it's just about time. It's impossible, isn't it? The girl just stood there for a long time.
Ah, there's no way it happened── until someone brought him inside.
Aisha who innocently pulled the hand of Princess Elijah to offer him a meal inside the inn.
"Oh, is this what you call betrayal of a superior?"
With a slight laugh, "Hehehe ..." Claude said that.
"I know, I don't think I can avoid it any more than this."
I gave Claude a little face to the forehead before sending him back to the hole he appeared in earlier.
"Young ... Evil master!"
...----------------...
"But this is surprising, Mr. Dragon Slayer. Turns out you had an inn in this town apparently, huh?"
I shake my head in the question of the Honored Princess Elijah.
"So, the reason Girl Zirah came here is still the same as inviting me to the palace, right?"
Princess Elijah's head was disturbed,
"You know, I wouldn't have had a face if the king found out that I failed to bring the savior of my commanding knight army to the palace. So I solemnly ask you to attend the reward award ceremony."
He bowed his head, and with a few words like, "Please." did it. I mean Princess Elijah who used to look arrogant now suddenly humbled in front of others?
"Huh, what's with that sudden attitude?"
No-no, I'm sure this is the wits of this girl. Of course, I will also not forget Aisha who also agreed to it.
"Kyle, how about you accompany him to the capital?"
"Aisha, you don't understand. What would I do if the king asked me to join their army? Well, I don't want to make the king bear shame because I refused his request before his followers."
And game over, if I get hated by the kingdom then my inn will be automatically closed forcibly even worse, I will be homeless in this region.
Meanwhile, if I accept the position then my work automatically increases to three.
"What if I promise to make the king not try to recruit you?"
"You dare to vouch for it?"
"Of course, leave it to me."
