Chapter 104
I practiced my fairy magic until midnight and came up with something gelatinous that just barely tasted like something, but I didnt regret it.
So, since I think everyone was mostly asleep by now, we got into action. We put the kids on the Red Dragons and flew them out of the dungeon in a straight line, with Ashia and Run left behind.
And I asked only one Red Dragon to stay behind. Well have to inform Jess at the entrance of the dungeon why were here.
Thank you, onee-chan!!
ooh, I, sure everything will go well
Say hi to Forna for me
See ya later
Be well out there
I waved to the children as I replied to them, who thanked me verbally and then disappeared into the sky. After all the red dragons with the children on board flew away, the remaining hundreds of dragons took off in pursuit.
The last one left over here was the leader, the Red Dragon. Youre a very disciplined one too.
And so we quickly made our way back to the entrance of the dungeon. The moonlight and the stars were more than bright enough. Its always beautiful. No matter how many times I see it, I never get tired of it.
A, Aidle-jou
Nn? Ah, sure, you may go ahead
Thank you very much!!
When I gave permission to the strangely squirming Quad, he turned into a fairy and flew away into the sky. I guess he couldnt hide his excitement at his first time being out in the sky. He was like a child. Well, his fairy figure was that of a child after all. Hell probably come back around sunrise, maybe.
When I went out to the hut, I found out that the counter was still bright even at midnight. I found Jess covering his head and was asleep inside the structure. I tapped on his shoulder, and Jess, who had snapped awake, looked at me and the others with sleepy eyes.
What the? Oh, its you guys Oh!? Youre back!!!
Keep your voice down.
Eh, ah, Im sorry. Hey, why are Ashia and Run the only kids in the house?
Ashia intervenes and clears up the misunderstanding before it gets any stranger.
No, Jess. We all made it back. We all made it back, and I got the other kids to leave the city first. Furthermore, were going to stop being stray baggers and start living in a different place. So Run and I stayed behind because we wanted to say thank you to Jess.
Thank you, huh?
A thank you to Jess, which was an affirmation of the childrens life as stray backers. The children have been ridiculed by the adventurers every day and forced to live on the edge every day. Sometimes they were violent, and at worse, they would die in the dungeon. But Jess had never been negative about such children.
I know that Jess-san bowed to people to ask for the scraps of food from the market and the inn to give to the children, and I know that you approached the prostitutes who abandoned their children to see if they would let you take them in
His face was getting paler and paler as they continued.
tsk
Thats why Jess-san, th- Shut up!!
Jess interrupted Ashias words with an angry reply. Then, instead of turning her head, waved his hand as if to shoo her go away.
If you can live without us, then go wherever you want! Dont ever show your face to me again!!!!
With that, Jess walked out of the cabin, leaving Ashia and Run watching him go while tears streamed down their faces.
Jess-san
Maybe theres some reason he cant be honest with us. Well ask him later. So you two better get going now
But!!
Run tried to argue, but Ashia stopped him.
Run, we cant keep everyone waiting. Im sad, but lets go, okay?
Uhugh
Ashia and the rest looked at Aidle as they rode the Red Dragon. They nodded at each other and Aidle gave the Red Dragon a signal, and then it took off to the skies.
After looking up at the sky where Ashia and the others had disappeared for a while, I then looked back at everyone.
Now, shall we go to the inn? Well have to ask Jess one more time tomorrow about whats going on
Everyone nodded at those words, and we started walking. We found an inn that was just barely open, and we all huddled together for the night. Maybe it was because the kids were gone, but it was a little lonely.
It was a late morning, and while I was having breakfast at the inn, I was surrounded by a bunch of adventurers from outside. What do they want with a good little adventurer like me?
Its morning, shall we do some crushing.
Are you still a little sleepy? An angry La Veil snarled and said that. It certainly stinks of men here. Among them, a well-dressed adventurer appeared. He was working in the front counter of the guild.
When the Inn Master tried to call out, he was glared at and silenced by the clerk. And then, the problem was explained while looking at us here.
I didnt mean to come here in order to go on a rampage though I wont know what would happen if you resist
We wouldnt do that. So, what is your business with us?
You are the adventurers who monopolized the stray baggers to dive in the dungeon, arent you?
You could say that I guess A grin surfaced on his face when we affirmed it for the time being.
Then, would you like to come with me to the guild? I have to explain the situation and the reason why you returned without stray baggers
_______________________________________
You thought we were in the way, didnt you?
Even those pieces of trash are used as expendable tools when the regular baggers are not around. In other words, they are treated as guilds equipment. We cant let a lot of them be consumed without permission. So I need you guys to tell me where the kids are. Now that you know, wont you come along?
Saying so, one of the men suddenly kicked our table where our food was placedbut well, they were only able to knock down the table. Everyone was quick enough to grab their meal especially La Veil.
How dare you try and take away my plate of food!!
Youre annoying. Well head there later, so get lost. Youll just spoil our food.
Id rather eat my meal in peace.
Do any of you wanna have a go at it?
Crude~~
Here Arena, have a bite of this
Ahm, Mogu, mogu
Youve got to be kidding me!! Do you even realize what situation you areHiii!!?
Thats when the mans words cut off, as La Veil unleashed an intense killing intent at the men. Well, he was about to take up arms. I guess they were prepared to retaliate in case things got a little out of control. Its not going to end up alright with how things are going right now, so Im going to put a word for the time being to at least prevent things from further escalating.
Im sorry, but a lot of us girls want to eat in peace. Can you just leave one person to wait for us and have the others wait at the guild? Well follow that one when were done eating would that be alright?
Hey, were going back. One of you guys stay
The man shuddered but seemed convinced. He nodded at my words and ran back with everyone, leaving one adventurer behind. The remaining one shrinks back in the corner of the room with a pale face.
Aidle, can I give him some food?
Then Archangel Arena came to me with a proposal for mercy. Apparently, she doesnt like the way the atmosphere has deteriorated, so shes trying to soothe the adventurer. It cant be helped.
Alright, here. Here you go, come and take it?
Un~!
When Arena was handed her meal, she offered it to the shrinking adventurer and began to eat with him. La Veil looked at me suspiciously, but I didnt really care and started eating my own portion.
Youre a naive girl.
Thats just typical Arena
Thats the only way I can describe my dearest and best friend.
There you are
When we finished eating, we found a huge crowd of adventurers waiting in front of the guild. I guess most of the adventurers have been gathered there. Did they come for work or for us
Whats the event? Theres a few dozen more than the usual crowd
The guild leader has said that you guys are the ones to watch out for. The strongest of these guys will be watching you. Come on, get in
Yes, yes
When we entered the deserted guild, we found a battered man lying on the floor. The moment we saw the mans face, our emotions instantly bubbled up.
Jess-san!!
Cielo and Arena jumped out and helped Jess up and started healing him. I glare at the men.
Are you telling me that the other witness is Jess?
Yeah, Ive been keeping tabs on that guy. I knew that if I made a move, you guys would come back. Thats why I made him talk. Its not safe to be connected to criminals, you know!
is that so
La Veil
I understand. Ill be patient.
No, its fine, do it. If they dont die, Ill fix everything. Then well go after.
Are you sure?
Well as long as no one dies
I pretty much ran out of patience. I want to ask Jess some questions, but first Im going to have to deal with this mess. As well as another person.
I called Maurice and put Jess on top of him. The adventurers are surprised, but I silence them with my killing intent.
Okay, lets go to the guild leaders office. Arena, are you alright?
Un
I held Arenas hand and brought her with me to the Guild Masters Office.
And so we decided to confront the man who was probably the leader of this city. Instantly, La Veil moved to the side of the man sitting in the chair and
Its been a thousand years since Ive seen you, and I found you here you bastard!!!!
Eh, hey, wait a min!!??
Gu, Guild Master!!???
She beat him up with all her might. It was an attack strong enough to shake the whole building just from the impacts, so much so that it dented inward the belly of the man who fell down after the hit. Wow although its just a fake body, that was some powerful impact it absorbed.
As the adventurers screamed, La Veil grabbed the Blue Haired Guild Master and threw him in front of me, and asked him as she put her foot on his chest and slowly crushing him.
Now then, you will tell us what you are doing in a place like this, wont you Luceretze ?
Wait and wait, why are you here in this form La Veil. No, more like Im sorry and I apologize so dont continue crushing me, and please dont drag me back me to that gramps!!
The Guild Master desperately came up with excuses and many other things. What exactly did he do?
La Veil, is that person, not a human?
Indeed, I knew the moment I saw his face Also, this is the garbage I was looking for. Hes so carefully wearing a lot of magic tools of concealment in his body that you wont normally be able to tell~~
Hey, dont call me garbage, arent you terrible? Im just trying to stay out of the picture, but a, ouch, ouch, ouch, stop it!!
Garbage like you should not be allowed to talk, you know?
Youre just being unreasonable!?
La Veil surely isnt holding this time against him. For now Lets take a look at what he is.

Alright, I found the 2nd Ancient Dragon!! Though I also want to smack this one a lot.
Get out of the way, Master. You cant kill him
We do need to wait until we hear everything we need from and then kill him once
Are we done waiting yet~?
If its against Arena, then maybe after the third time
I want to go at it 5 times
Arena murmured some disturbing things while we were having some tea.
