  Chapter 71: Unexpected situation immediately occurs {TL: By Creed} The next day. Without delay, we decided to take action. First, we pretended to search for Aisha and went outside. If we found her in just one or two days, it would seem suspicious, so we decided to wait about a week. During that time, we gathered as much information about Doctor as possible. Cliff's struggles meant only rumors were circulating, nothing concrete. But still, it was enough. We didn't know what would lead to future developments, and there was a possibility of unexpected gains. So, we gathered information indiscriminately. In addition... We also investigated Falz Lutzbein. Like Doctor, he was one of the leaders of the Adventurers Guild. Although Doctor seemed to have a higher position... We couldn't just leave this guy alone. According to Cliff, Falz was the one who caused the Stampede. His motive was something trivial, wanting to harass Cliff. If we let someone like him go, how much damage wou...

  Chapter 70 Aisha was targeted {TL: By Creed} Sure, here's the revised text: The first job given to us as full-fledged members was to find Aisha and hand her over to Doctor. Doctor said he wanted to protect her because she's a friend's child... but that's definitely a lie. Doctor was planning to treat Aisha as a "product". Apparently, beastmen slaves fetch high prices in trades... So, he's using us to try to retrieve the "product". "To be honest, I want to knock him out right away." Using even such a young child... Absolutely unforgivable. I became a full-fledged member to gather evidence, but right now, I feel like storming in and hitting him. It would be easy to knock Doctor out. But doing so would only ease my anger; I wouldn't be able to exile him. Unless something significant happens, I'll endure... And I will definitely gather evidence of his wrongdoing. Well... Unless something significant happens, like Aisha being caugh...

  Chapter 69 Information organization {TL: By Creed} After a night's rest, morning dawned at the Doctor's residence. When I found myself sleeping in the same bed as Sofia, I was nervous about whether I could sleep or not... But when I lay down and closed my eyes, I fell asleep right away. I guess I was tired from everything that happened. Afterward, we had breakfast and returned to the guest room. The Doctor seemed like he wanted to talk, but he apparently had work until early afternoon. He mentioned that it was time to discuss an exclusive role. Of course, I didn't intend to have such a conversation. What we needed to discuss was how we would proceed from now on. When we talked about the exclusive role, "I see... It might be better to accept it." "Huh, really?" "By becoming exclusive, you can delve deeper, and Doctor will trust us more. It'll be easier to gather evidence of wrongdoing." "Yeah, I thought about that, but ultimately, won...

  Chapter 68: Sleep? {TL: By Creed} "Wow, this is a really nice room, isn't it?" "Yeah, it sure is." Sofia didn't seem to notice or be disturbed by anything, or perhaps she just didn't care. But I was definitely feeling flustered. My heart was pounding so hard that my speech was starting to sound suspicious. I've shared a room with Sofia before, like in inns... But we've never shared a bed. "There's a simple water facility here." "Oh, really?" "And not only is the room spacious, but it seems to have a bathroom attached." "Is that so?" "I've sweated a little, so I'm going to take a bath." "I see." ... "Huh!?" I understood the meaning of her words belatedly, but by then, Sofia was already on the other side of the door. The door closed with a thud... After a moment, there was the sound of fabric sliding. "..." "Is Fate actually a pervert?" "W-W...

  Chapter  67 I'm happy {TL: By Creed} "Waah," cheers erupted, and I couldn't help but be surprised. It seemed like they didn't care about the man at all, as the majority of people here were applauding with smiles. Licorice floating above my head gently flicked my cheek. "Come on, stop spacing out and wave your hand or something in response." "Oh, yeah. Like this?" As I waved my hand as instructed, the cheers grew louder, and I was even more surprised. Seeing me like that, Licorice gave a wry smile. "Be more confident. To them, Fate is like a newly born hero." "Even if you say that... Hmm?" I've heard something similar from Sofia before... But being a hero or anything like that isn't my style, nor is it something I desire. There's only one thing I wish for. To become a man worthy of Sofia. "Fate." "Whoa, Sofia!?" Sofia appeared out of nowhere, and I was even more surprised. For some reason, sh...

  Chapter 66: Settlement in an instant {TL: By Creed} "Whoa!!" The man exhales a burst of determination as he kicks the ground. Without immediately launching an attack, he dashes around me from front to back, left to right, seemingly probing for openings. "It's incredible speed." "I have no idea what's happening." "How much skill does it take to make something like that possible?" ...I hear voices from the surroundings saying such things. Is it really something to be so amazed about? Right, back, left, back, left, front, right, front, right... I see it all. Sometimes when the man attempts to attack, I look that way, and... "Huh!?" The man widens his eyes in surprise, ceases his attack, and returns to disturbing me once again. It seems like the party guests are astonished by the man's movements... But I'm not surprised. With someone like Sofia, who's an outlier, nearby, this is nothing to be surprised about. "Fat...

  Chapter  65 Duel at the banquet {TL: By Creed} "Are you the adventurer who defeated the thieves' guild?" "Oh, yes. That's right, but who are you?" "I'm Zeros, a fellow adventurer." "I'm Fate Stuart. Nice to meet you." I stood up and bowed my head slightly, but Zeros wasn't looking at me anymore. He was scanning the garden of the party venue. "You're a friend of the Sword Saint, right? Where's the Sword Saint?" "Um... If you mean Sofia, she's got some business to attend to and hasn't returned yet." "Tch, bad timing." It felt uncomfortable, to say the least. He had the same aura as Sigurd. "Are you here for Sofia?" "I'm here as Brassband-sama's exclusive. I've heard the Sword Saint has been invited to serve exclusively as well." "Well..." I've been invited too, but... I felt it was better not to mention it and kept quiet. "Still, t...

  Chapter 64 Full-time (TL: By Creed} Exclusive, they're adventurers who become exclusively hired by specific individuals. Without the employer's permission, they become unable to accept other requests. However, there are certainly benefits. Even without requests, a specific contract fee is paid every month. In addition to that, if requests arise from the employer, those fees will also be added. Furthermore, depending on the employer, various forms of support are available, and insurance is provided... Thinking normally, it's usually a favorable deal that most adventurers would jump at. "Me, as Doctor-sama's exclusive...? This isn't a joke, right?" "Of course not. I would like you to become my exclusive. And I hope to build a long-lasting relationship with you." The Doctor says with a smile. It's a gentle smile that doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives. But, one cannot let their guard down. They might be scheming something behind the...

  Chapter 63: Malice behind the smile (TL: By Creed} The mansion of Doctor was located in the center of the town, amidst a row of luxurious residential areas. Nevertheless, this wasn't surprising. On the contrary, it would be expected. Being an executive of the Adventurers' Association, it was only natural for him to live in a decent house. Conversely, if he were living in a run-down place, one might question that choice. Later, I was guided to the guest room. I sat on the sofa, and Licorice perched on top of my head. While looking around the guest room, Licorice spoke. "Hmm. I heard it's the house of a villain, but it's quite a nice room. The taste isn't bad either." "Yeah, you're right. The furnishings are there, but not flashy. It has a certain elegance, matching the room and creating a calm atmosphere. I think the ambiance is good." The villains in stories often have bad taste in their homes... But Doctor's mansion was not like that. ...

  Chapter 62: Meeting with the Doctor {TL: By Creed} Successfully decimating the band of thieves and safely completing the rescue of the captured individuals, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say the mission was accomplished perfectly. However, this is not the end. Rather, this is where the real challenge begins. According to Cliff's account, Doctor will likely make contact to intercept the treasure hoarded by the band of thieves. First, we must accept the demands and win his favor. Honestly, it feels unpleasant to lend a hand in such dishonesty, but as Cliff says, there's no other clever way, so we have to reluctantly agree. However, a problem arises here. That is... "Fate, what about Aisha?" After asking Licorice to seek support from the guild... In the meantime, I discuss future plans with Sofia. The issue at hand is how to handle Aisha. To put it bluntly, Aisha is also a part of the treasure of the band of thieves. If Doctor sets his sights on her, she might ...

  Chapter 61: Captive... {TL: By Creed} If we defeat the boss, the rest isn't a big deal. Working together with Licorice, I'll defeat the remaining ones... And then, we'll capture them so they can't move. It might be quicker to just kill them... But if possible, I'd like to avoid killing. I might be called naive, but thieves are still human beings. Perhaps, there might be someone who can reform. During combat and such, I won't hesitate when there's no choice... But I don't want to go out of my way to kill helpless or surrendering opponents. 'Alright, is this everyone?' Capture complete. Since we can't take everyone with us, let's return to the guild first and request backup. "Sofia, how about over there?" "Um..." When I shouted loudly, I received a bewildered response. What's wrong? I exchange glances with Licorice. "Fate." Before long, Sofia arrived. "It seems to be settled over here. Dealing with t...
