How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Episode 542. Recollections of a Reincarnated Person (4) I am not saying this with bluff.

There's really no way that girl could pay me anything useful.

money? can't be enough

knowledge? you're funny

To meet my wishes, bring at least an item like a lamp that makes wishes come true.

Anyway, receiving a reward from a mediocre human is itself ridiculous.

“More than that, be careful from now on… …

By the way, why did the Earth Dragon come down to this place?”

Just thinking about it makes me a little concerned.

“What a big deal. Although these guys are belligerent, that doesn't mean they're brainless. Normally, there's no way you'll attack people for no reason... …

I guess I should have captured it and looked at it instead of destroying it.

I don't have greed for wealth, but I'm a little curious about the phenomenon I've never seen.

Maybe digging into that question will make it a little less boring.

“ah? Yes?.”

“… … Come to think of it, there is one more thing that worries me.”

Somebody who made a fuss a little while ago and bothered my hearing is quiet.

Come to think of it, it bothered me a little while ago.

Even in this situation, the burden she carried and ran.

It is a bundle of something that suddenly rises.

It looks pretty heavy.

You did well wearing something like that and running.

Normally, you would throw away any amount of luggage in order to lose even a little weight.

” hey.”

.... I'm sorry.

Suddenly the girl falls back.

I was sure

“Show me that luggage.”

“Ahahahaha. What do you mean?”

sure

“What about the previous case? Let go of that burden.”

“You usually ask for examples like that?!

What kind of thief are you?!”

“I just changed my business. They say thieves are hot these days.”

“It’s forced!”

How are you? give it up anyway

When I try to catch her, she tries to run away at once.

However, even if the high-ranking mage moves through space, she cannot escape from me.

In less than a second, she was caught in my hand and lifted up with the whole bundle.

“When you get help, you're free, but when you go, you're not.”

And because the girl struggled, the bundle was untied.

What was in it fell to the ground.

“ah??????

“… … hey.”

Only then did I understand why this girl was being chased by the Earth Dragon.

What came out of the bag was a large egg.

An egg that does not budge even if it rolls slightly and falls.

“Is this a Earth Dragon egg?”

“… … Ah, curfew time. The door will close.”

“Is the sun still on your head? Which city is closed at this time?”

I didn't let go of this idiot trying to run away.

It seemed to me that I would never be able to relieve my sense of futility unless at least one word of nagging was given to this idiot who might not even be worth his life.

In the end, the girl who was forced to preach by me for a long time sniffed in disgust.

Have you ever regretted it?

“Sniff… … There's no way my father would be scolded like this.”

“No, I guarantee you that you will get scolded.”

It doesn't work. What a great talent.

“More than that, you managed to carry this egg.”

“Ehehehe… … I'm kind of lucky. As usual, I was exploring the nearby forest, but I just saw a wyrm egg inside the cave!”

“Even if you say that you picked it up while taking a walk… …

In the end, the reason why the earth dragon was chasing this girl like crazy was because of this egg.

“The knights will wake up if we leave it anyway.”

Earth dragons are monsters that belong to seawater by default, so if an egg is found near a city or village, it is best to deal with it as much as possible.

But even that is a task that requires a high degree of judgment, and this idiot just brought it up.

“Why did you bring it?”

“Because I want to know! The ecology of the Earth Dragon is not well described in the books.”

Not for any great reason.

“ha… … it's okay. I will dispose of this egg as it is.”

Without hesitation, I reached out to the egg and used magic to burn the egg at once.

“ah… … Ah ah ah ah ah… … What a waste!”

“It can't be helped. If you take it as it is, the Earth Dragon will come after you again?”

Because they have a sensitive sense of smell.

If you bring it into the city, it will soon come after you again.

I killed one in the first place, so the other will remain.

So, if you burn the eggs like this to get rid of the traces, they'll give up the chase and go nest somewhere else.

“Could you rather let me eat it!”

“… … Would you rather eat?”

“Because I've never had one before!”

He is a great talent beyond imagination.

I am very worried about the future.

I don't think I was this immature at one time... … .

The idea of nagging at this absurd feeling, which I hadn't tasted in a while, disappeared.

“… … it's okay. Be careful anyway. If you do it wrong, it might cause trouble not only to you, but to the whole city. It has nothing to do with me.”

Still, it's not pleasant if one day a city disappears as I pass by.

It would be common sense to give them some attention.

“You get it?”

yes.”

In the end, the girl nodded helplessly as if she had resigned herself and reflected on herself.

At this time, I had no thoughts.

For some reason, the girl looked up at me strangely, but I just ignored it.

Because I didn't know at the time.

On this day, even though this nagging is annoying... … That it will be an opportunity to change my outlook on life as a reincarnated person.

I was secluded in a cabin whenever possible.

It's because I realized lately that accidents happen only when I go out.

‘… … If I can hold on like this for a month or two, I'll be able to do something.'

Outside, the last time I secretly sprinkled fake information.

The people sent by those idiots will probably go to the wrong place soon.

‘According to my experience, if I get rid of it once, I'll be able to hold out for about a year.'

I have deliberately prepared a dwelling place not only in this kingdom, but everywhere I set foot.

It is to stay while changing locations periodically.

Otherwise, I can't even sleep.

Well, this can't continue.

Even if you endure for about 10 years, it will be quiet.

‘If I'm serious, I can even cross the sea.'

There is only one reason why I am stuck here.

Fortunately, the climate here is pleasant.

“What if I get caught or not? Who's going to stop me?”

I am the strongest and no one can say anything no matter what I do.

“… … It sucks.”

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Talking to myself in a dry voice, I laughed vainly.

boring.

It's futile.

How long will it last?

what the hell am i supposed to do

When I was first reincarnated, I thought it was just a reward for my unfinished life.

So I worked hard to enjoy what I couldn't enjoy.

When I passed the 10th time, I was a little puzzled.

I wondered if I had something to do.

I have done good and done evil.

But neither of them changed anything.

When the life at that time ends, the next beginning just repeats itself.

I'd rather forget

Then you can start with a new feeling.

But the most terrifying thing.

that nothing is forgotten

even make something

Even if you make someone's link, it eventually breaks someday.

It's boring.

That's why I deliberately chose to be isolated.

Well, I didn't mean to live so recklessly from the beginning.

‘You are a monster! monster!'

It was because I lost my patience when I saw the second prince of this kingdom shout that in front of me.

At best, I've accomplished for you what other guys couldn't do.

What came back is treated like a monster.

monster? You're talking nonsense.

I just outlived you slightly.

“under… … Something annoys me.”

Anyway, it's good anyway.

I just decided to take a nap or sleep.

It's annoying to do anything.

Lying down like that.

“???? what?”

I could feel the popularity outside.

someone comes

One person when you postpone the presence.

“Could it be that you’ve already been caught?”

Was my expectation wrong?

That, too, is a very simple thing.

First of all, I tried to check the appearance of the intruder through the familiar placed nearby.

“???? under?”

And I had to let out an absurd sigh.

why is she

In any case, it is true that it came this way.

“If the business comes, I'll have to greet it.”

I got up and walked out and waited for the intruder outside the cabin, leaning against the wall.

And after about 5 minutes, a blonde girl staggered out, gasping for breath.

something is sad

“ha… … It's too steep here! Is this a place where people can live?”

“Then don’t come.”

Why are you complaining after coming to me on your own?

“Anyway, why did you come?”

“It’s not you, it’s Elmena. Lelbaren in Elmenara! Please call me either Elmena or Eldul as appropriate?”

“… … Noisy. Why did you come? Or rather, how did you find this place?”

It is not a place that a mediocre human girl can easily find.

On the one hand, I developed a sense of vigilance.

Maybe the face of an ordinary girl is camouflage.

In the first place, that stupid thing is probably just to catch my tail... … .

“I ordered someone to find it.”

“what'? person?”

“Personally, I had the mercenary guild and other servants search all the forests and mountains around the city.”

“… … The entire area?”

Being a bit dumbfounded, I asked again.

To spend all of this area looking for people.

Aside from the number of people, it would cost a lot to hire them.

“I'm a child of a family that can look like this.”

“… … Raen Relvaren. Right. I remembered now. The name of the lord here is Puchellaen Lelbaren.”

“yes that's right. Whoop whoop whoop. I am that father's lovely daughter.”

“There are many things I want to discuss, but let’s move on.”

Usually, my cute daughter-in-law doesn't run away with a wyrm egg or come up panting in a mountain like this.

I muttered to myself.

This is because, in my experience, such an idiot is an opponent that does not work even if you compare it.

“So why did the lord's daughter come to see me?”

I couldn't understand.

When I didn't know her identity, I wondered if she was aiming for a bounty.

Since it was the year before last that he escaped after running away, there is a possibility that a large bounty might have been put on him by now.

However, looking at Elmena's face, it doesn't seem like that's the reason.

Above all, if that was the purpose, he would have sent the right people instead of coming.

However, no matter how much I searched around, I couldn't feel any other presence.

Could there be a master who can hide his presence in front of me?

“You don't have to worry. I came alone.”

“Even if I look like this, I’m good at looking at people’s faces and roughly guessing them.”

She said, pretending to touch her cheek.

Don't do that. It just looks funny.

“Rather than really reading minds. ‘Oh this man. You’re thinking of this.”

“Hmm.”

yes, if you are, then it is

In reality, her eyes tremble slightly whenever she looks at me.

Are you unconsciously examining your opponent?

Should I have good eyesight... … I don't know what to say.

“Okay, let’s say that. So?

Why did you come to see me?”

Whether with bad intentions or not, this is not a place anyone would come to for nothing.

Even at this time, I still had no doubts.

‘… … Even if it looks like an idiot on the outside.'

It's easy to hide what's inside of you as a human being.
