  Chapter Episode 60 VS Monster Tamer {TL: By Creed} "Go!" At the boss's signal, Cerberus, two of them, charged simultaneously. Seems like they're not stupid enough to let them all charge together. Twisting to evade the first charge, I blocked the second one with my sword made of ice crystals. "Die!" Engaging Cerberus leaves an opening for me inevitably. Without missing it, the boss swung his sword. He's not just letting the monsters fight; they're coordinating properly. Quite a troublesome opponent. "Kuh... this!" Blocking the boss's strike with my ice crystal sword, I retaliate, but... "Grrrr!" The third Cerberus, which was holding back, interjected, deflecting the trajectory of my sword. Then, the Sword Wolf charged straight ahead... "Whoa!?" Feeling a chilling sensation, I focus on evasion, leaping backward. Immediately after... *Boom!* With a thunderous roar, the Sword Wolf lunged in. Its charge, like thrusting ...

  Chapter 59 In the deepest part {TL: By Creed} The deepest part of the dungeon was divided into three sections. One was the living space for the thieves. This was the largest, occupying seventy percent of the dungeon. Twenty percent was the treasure vault. And the remaining ten percent was the prison. Unfortunately, someone was said to be captured in the prison. They might be used as a hostage if things went badly. There were about twenty thieves in the living space. Among them, the boss of the thieves, who was probably a monster tamer, was eating a more luxurious meal than the other members. In addition, there were ten Cerberuses. Five Water Tigers. A variant of Fenrir... a Sword Wolf. Perhaps because it was the deepest part, the defense was indeed strong. By the way, as for how such information was known... "So, that's the information." Thanks to Licorice. It seems the fairy had some resistance to being tamed, and the brainwashing had been released a little while ago. ...

  Chapter 58 Push forward {TL: By Creed} Drawing a nonsensical trajectory, Licorice flew through the air, approaching here. Occasionally, she used magic and launched attacks. "Trying to return the enemy to sanity, but ending up being controlled and attacking you friends!?''  "Or rather, Licorice being tamed, is she a monster...? Because she has a sinister side, was she classified as the same...?" "Anyway, we need to do something!" Licorice flew high within the cave, sporadically launching attacks. As she had mentioned earlier, it seems she cannot use powerful magic, so her attacks aren't much of a threat. However, we can't intervene... If we were to act rashly, we might unintentionally harm her severely... What should we do? "Kya kya kya!" "That irritating laughter... Even though she's being controlled, it's frustrating." "Licorice means no harm..." "Yes, I understand. That's why I'll end this q...

  Chapter 57 Monster Tamer {TL: By Creed} "Nevertheless, to find Cerberus here of all places... and not just one, but several. What could be going on?" "There's no way this is just a coincidence. Well, I can't say for sure that it's impossible for them to occur naturally... but even so, there's no reason for thieves to be unharmed. Most likely, there's a Monster Tamer around." "What's that supposed to mean? Catching monsters?" "Exactly as it sounds, it refers to those who can control monsters." "Huh, controlling monsters? Is that even possible?" "It's only a select few who can do it, and it requires talent. Being born into a Monster Tamer lineage or apprenticing from a young age... that level of dedication is necessary, making it a challenging profession. But because they can control monsters, they're quite powerful." "So..." Licorice pondered for a moment, then froze in thought for se...

  Chapter  56 Watchdog Cerberus {TL: By Creed} "This one...!?" Twisted fangs and three heads. As large as a horse, with considerable strength. An A-rank monster, Cerberus. Its attacks with twisted fangs and three heads are troublesome... Furthermore, it spits fire, adding to its multiple attacks. It's quite a formidable opponent... "But, with my current strength!" Thanks to training from Sofia, I was able to gain some confidence. It might have been a coincidence, but I was able to defeat an S-rank Fenrir. So, taking on one Cerberus... "Grrrr...!" "Grr!" "Gua!" "...Huh?" Furthermore, three more Cerberuses appeared from the depths. And it didn't stop there... Four, five, six... An uncountable number appeared. "Woah, isn't this a bit...!?" "Fate, focus on defense! Licorice, stay by Fate's side!" "R-Right!" Licorice hurriedly flew over and landed on my head. Wait, is that the designate...

Chapter 55: First, let's accept the request. {TL: By Creed} Cliff says that some of the requests are issued by Doctor. By cleverly utilizing these requests, one can enrich themselves. For that reason, Doctor regularly issues requests. Finding and completing those requests... During the report, one can meet face to face with Doctor. At that time, if one demonstrates competence, Doctor will likely reach out... so they say. If one becomes favored, they can infiltrate his inner circle. So, first, one must fulfill the requests issued by Doctor. That's what I was told...  "This... right?" "This... yes." Taking a certain request issuance document, I look at it with Sofia. Both Sofia and I tilt our heads. That's because the contents of the request aren't particularly difficult. "The suppression of a thief gang using a dungeon near the town as their base." "It's a thief gang I've never heard of, and it doesn't seem to be particularl...

  Chapter 54: Alliance concluded {TL: By Creed} "First of all, we are cooperating right?" "Yeah, that's fine." "Yes, no problem." Sofia nodded in agreement. If it's true that the Adventurer's Association is corrupt and causing all this stampede... Certainly, we can't just ignore it. If we let this continue, how many victims will there be? If there's a chance to stop it, I don't want to turn a blind eye. I may not have much power... But if there's something I can do, I want to face it head-on with all my strength. That's what I've always thought since I was little, and what I've always wished for. "Thank you... yeah. I really appreciate it." "By the way..." Sofia shot a sharp look. "If what you're saying turns out to be nonsense, or if you try to use us or harm Fate... I'll cut you down." Sofia emitted a frightening killing intent. Even though it's not aimed at me, it's st...

  Chapter 53: It's pretty rotten. {TL: By Creed} It seems that a senior member of the Adventurer's Guild caused the Stampede? What on earth could this mean? I can't help but think it might be some mistake... But Cliff seems convinced. "Could you tell us more about it? You called us here for that reason too, right?" "Yeah. In summary..." Cliff has long been at odds with the upper echelons of the Adventurer's Guild. It's because he doesn't just go along with their wishes but acts on his own judgment. In fact, Cliff seems to have been involved in Aizen's judgment. While the higher-ups tried to protect Aizen... Cliff didn't agree and gathered decisive evidence of his wrongdoing, submitting it to the military police. Furthermore, there seems to have been other information provided... As a result, Aizen was brought to justice. It seems Cliff repeatedly acted against the intentions of the higher-ups. His reputation within the Guild is terrib...

  Chapter 52: Smell of conspiracy {TL: By Creed} After that, we quickly tidied up... We returned to the guild and had a conversation with only me, Sofia, Licorice, and Cliff. It seems there's something they can't tell others about. "This is called the Crystal of Dark Attraction, a troublesome cursed item," Cliff said, tapping the crystal ball I found on the table. "It has the effect of attracting demons and even amplifying the power of specific demons." "So, this Stampeed incident..." "Yeah. There's no doubt this thing is the cause." I heard it from Sofia... The number of demons wasn't 5,000, it was ten times that, 50,000. And the queen I fought somehow evolved into SS rank... If all of this is the work of this cursed item, it makes sense. "Where did you find this, Stuart?" "I found a suspicious man near where the queen was... I couldn't catch him, but he dropped this." "Heheh, thanks to me pretending ...

  Chapter 51 Suspicious Shadow {TL: By Creed} "Alright, somehow we managed to defeat it." With this, the stampede should settle down. I don't think we need to worry about Sofia, but... Still, things that bother me bother me. Let's hurry back. "Furahire hara..." "What's wrong, Licorice?" "Fate moves too fast... I'm feeling dizzy. Bleh..." "I-I'm sorry!?" Hastily lowering Licorice, I gently rub her small back with my fingertips. "Are you okay?" "This is bad... really bad... Bleh." "Water, do you want water?" "If I drink anything now... bleh." Oh no... Licorice looks truly unwell. This is troublesome. I want to return to the city quickly, but I can't push Licorice too hard. Let's take a short break here... "Hmm?" Suddenly, I feel a sense of unease. I glance around. The area is in disarray from the battle with Zephyranthes, but there's nothing out of the ordin...

  Chapter 50 Subjugation completed {TL: By Creed} "Divine Dragon Sword Style - First Strike.. Mountain Breaker!!!" A sword technique focused on power, released towards the ground. By the way, the sword is held horizontally, scooping up the ground with the blade's edge before releasing it. *Gogaa!!* A massive amount of soil flies up as if a meteor had struck. Furthermore, stones buried in the ground shoot out like arrows. They engulf Zephyranthes. "Kiiiii!?" Zephyranthes screams as the curtain of earth and stones hits directly. The direct damage should be minimal. Maybe they were just startled. But that's enough. The enemy loses sight of me and is confused. I won't miss this opportunity. "Let's go, Fate!" "Okay!" Encouraged by Licorice, I charge forward. Though the vines attempt to intercept, their aim is off. They seem unable to concentrate after being showered with earth and stones. Avoid, then strike. Clearing a path, I approach...
